  • EGOIST will hold live concerts in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. The cover song of “supercell” will be performed

    08.January.2018 | MUSIC

    EGOIST is an imaginary artist produced by ryo (supercell).


    The best album of EGOIST (CD/Internet distribution) released on the 27th of December (Wed.) is gaining much popularity and the band held, “EGOIST Special gig ‘ALTER EGO’” on the 29th (Fri.) of December last year at Zepp DiverCity.

     

    This live was broadcasted at Zepp Osaka Bayside and Zepp Nagoya under the name of “ EGOIST sync*001 / Special gig ‘ALTER EGO.’”


    EGOIST Special gig “ALTER EGO” is a special commemorative live of the best album, GREATEST HITS 2011-2017 “ALTER EGO” which was released on the 27th of December (Wed.). The live was broadcast on Nikoniko Nama Hoso and about 25,000 fans enjoyed their performance.

     

    The charm of EGOIST’s live is the fact that they use the latest motion capture technology. The performance of the vocal of the band chelly is detected with special cameras and Cho Inori (the vocal of EGOSIT in the animation), the heroin of the animation “Guilty Clown” resonates to chelly’s movements.

    Shouts of glee went up from the audience as soon as the intro of “The Everlasting Guilty Crown” was played. After that, the band performed two popular songs, “Extra terrestrial Biological Entities” and “Ame, Kimi wo Tsurete” which are not included in the best album. The audience of the venue were filled with excitement with a rapid rendition.


    The forth song was “Sukito Iwareta Hi,”a fast-tempo digital song which was distributed on the Internet and the audience were drawn into the world of EGOIST. After the song was finished, they performed MC performance and inflamed the fans. The voice of the audience in the venues of Nagoya and Osaka could be heard at the venue in Tokyo and the whole venue was filled with a sense of unity.

     

    They also performed some popular songs including,“Reloaded” and “Namae no Nai Kaibutsu” and the audience were filled with excitement! After that, they performed “KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS” and “Eiyu Unmei no Uta.” The strong voice of chelly heated up the venue. Lastly, they performed superb ballads such as“Ghost of a smile,” “Kono Sekaide Mitsuketa Mono,” “Kimisora Kiseki” and the live was finished.


    After the anchor, the vocal cehlly reappeared on the stage and performed a fast-tempo rock number “It’s all about you.” The set list of the live included many B-side songs, not just songs included in the best album based on chelly’s wish to reflect on the history of EGOIST.

    The live successfully delivered the charms of the band to many people who listened to EGOIST’s music for the first time, not just old fans.

     


    As a second and third song of the anchor part, they performed a cover song which are “The Bravery” and “Kokuhaku” of supercell lead by the producer of the band ryo. The audience went wild while the songs were performed. “Kokuhaku” is the latter ending theme of the animation“Guilty Crown”which is a message song given from the main character of the animation Shu to the heroin/vocal of the band Cho Inori. The venue was filled with excitement with this surprise and the live ended with “All Alone With You.”

     


    chelly reappeared on the stage in response to the applause of fans and performed the debut single of EGOIST “Departures ~Anatani Okuru Ai no Uta~.” The voice of chelly singing this song gently filled the venue and some of the fans were crying. EGOIST Special gig “ALTER EGO” ended on a high note.

    Keep your eyes focused on EGOIST’s storm of activities in store for this new year.

  • EGOIST surprise fans with Christmas street concert in 7 cities around Japan

    28.December.2017 | MUSIC

    EGOIST released their greatest hits album GREATEST HITS 2011-2017 “ALTER EGO” this week on December 27th. On Christmas Day, in the run up to the release of the CD, EGOIST also performed a special Christmas street concert simultaneously in seven cities across Japan.

    EGOIST is a pop music duo produced by ryo (supercell) that spawned from the anime series Guilty Crown. Originally, EGOIST existed as a fictional band solely within the Guilty Crown universe, with EGOIST's other half Chelly acting as the vocalist for the character Inori Yuzuriha. However, even after the anime's broadcast the music unit have continued to put out content together and have even brought EGOIST to perform the main theme songs for other anime series.

    The greatest hits album Christmas live show saw EGOIST steal the spotlight on giant advertising screens across Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. It was recently revealed that a strange countdown clock with the words “Present for the fam*” had appeared on EGOIST's official website which was set to end on Christmas day. The Christmas present for the EGOIST fans was revealed to be the Christmas live show titled EGOIST christmas exhibition “Present for the *fam”. The concert was also streamed live on YouTube. Together with the street watchers and the audience at home, a total of around 7,000 people participated in this special night.

    Once the clock turned 18:00 the title of the concert appeared simultaneously on all platforms, revealing the mystery surrounding the countdown clock. Shortly afterwards, Inori Yuzuriha stepped into view which sparked a chain reaction of uncontrollable excitement across fans in all locations. The first song to be performed was an a cappella of Silent Night to set the Christmastime mood. The people walking by in the street also found themselves stopping spontaneously from the beautiful voice of Inori Yuzuriha. After a short talk, the performance continued with two more songs: All Alone With You and Departures ~Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta~. To close the 15-minute performance, a handwritten sign by both ryo (supercell) and Chelly was displayed onscreen together with the message "Merry Christmas." You could catch glimpses of fans moved to tears by the show. It was one Christmas present they will never forget.

    EGOIST are set to perform their EGOIST Special gig “ALTER EGO” show on December 29th, a concert to commemorate the release of their greatest hits album. The concert will be performed simultaneously in Nagoya and Osaka, titled EGOIST sync*001 / Special gig “ALTER EGO”. Full details for this unprecedented show can be found here.
