Everything Λucifer / Aucifer / Lucifer / リュシフェル

Hey everyone! It’s not that I have anything special to say today… other than: today is September 15th. You all know what that day means. You should, anyway. Today is Aucifer’s 13th birthday. Here’s Atsuro on twitter:

The date’s changed to the 15th, meaning that today’s the anniversary of Λucifer’s debut. Thank you for all the messages!! All of us in the band are so happy to have been part of a group with such devoted fans. Once again, we thank you for your continued support!!

For the newbie fans of Λucifer, here’s a real quick refresher course into the history of Λucifer. Here’s how it all started back in the days. Well, for the anime version of Λucifer anyway. I like to think that this is sort of how it was in real life, too.

“One heck of a line-up. Climb’s Santa and Yuki. Neon’s Towa. Lucy Lane’s Atsuro. And…“

Λucifer have finished their second show of 2012 and have thus entered their “frozen” status yet again. Before I say anything, let me get the bad news out of the way: Makoto has apparently stated on Twitter that the concert this time around will not be released on DVD and, indeed, video cameras were not present at the venue yesterday according to fan reports.

But, on to more positive things. Here are the songs they played last night at the Shibuya O-EAST:

1. LEGEND
2. Datenshi BLUE
3. PLASMAGIC
4. Sekai de Ichiban Kirei na Mono
5. C no Binetsu
6. Silent Melody
7. DUMMY
8. JUNK CITY

Kaikan Phrase screening + talk show (with Mayu Shinjo!)

9. ELEMENTS
10. Jealousy
11. CARNATION CRIME
12. TOKYO Illusion
13. TSUBASA
14. Kono Te no Naka ni
15. Shooting　Star
16. Egovision
17. Poker Face
18. LUCY
19. Midnight Crow
20. Time Machine wa Iranai

Encore ①
21. CASTAWAYS
22. See You

Encore ②
23. Datenshi BLUE

The setlist to this three-hour show was largely similar to yesterday’s, although with a couple of changes: they replaced LOVE & PAIN and Regret with Kono Te no Naka ni and Shooting Star, respectively. Also in attendance was Kaikan Phrase creator Mayu Shinjo who took part in the mid-set “talk show”. Fans were also served some nostalgia through the screening of PV’s of select songs as they were playing them on stage (C no Binetsu, JUNK CITY, TOKYO Illusion, LUCY, Datenshi BLUE). The show ended with Λucifer’s (and the audience’s) usual jump with linked hands.

The general consensus among fans seems to be that it was a fantastic show and — seeing as how well they were received — it can’t be long until Λucifer un-freezes (melts?!) again.

Here’s some picspam. The first one is special as it features Santa, Yukinojo Mori, Makoto, Mayu Shinjo and Shinya from DIR EN GREY.

Some twitter comments from fans:

@yun221: I’m glad I got to know everyone in Λucifer! Thank you for creating such lovely songs. (>_<) Λucifer is the most loved and the most important band of my entire life. I’ll be looking forward to the next reunion!

@kayo224: Λucifer’s show was realllly fun. (*´∀｀*) Though I thought I wouldn’t remember anything but Datenshi BLUE (laughs), it all came back to me～. Good work on the show. Getting to hear again all the songs I liked in my junior high school days, it was a really happy two days for me. ♪ I have faith that there’s going to be a next time, so I’ll look forward to it!

@hisuiiro: Good work! Today’s show was the best. I was really happy to see the two guitarists playing twin guitar leads after such a long time. As I thought, I realized my love for Λucifer anew. vv

@jda0519totoro: Ah, I love Λucifer too much. I wonder what it is with them… I thought that maybe my feelings would’ve cooled down already, but like I thought, I still love them. I just love those five. That’s what I was thinking as I was watching their show. They will forever remain an important and loved band of mine. I’m glad I got to know Λucifer.

And finally, the post-show thoughts from the band:

Towa: Λucifer’s show is over! Thank you very much! It was fun! See you again!?

Yuki: The two days of Λucifer live have ended safely. ヾ(^▽^)ノ To everyone who came, thank you! Today we even got Shinjo-sensei to come as well, so it was more “Kaikan Phrase” than ever! See you later, Λucifer. (*^_^*)

Santa: Our shows yesterday and the day before… to those of you who came or watched us on the net! To those of you who unfortunately couldn’t make it! Thank you very much!

Atsuro: I’m home～☆ I have to get up early for rehearsal tomorrow so I couldn’t attend the afterparty. (>_<) I wanted to drink with everyone… Nevertheless, it was a very happy two days. I won’t forget everyone’s smiles. Thank you!!! I’m so happy I decided to work as a newspaper boy in junior high school in order buy a guitar… and I’m so happy I met Λucifer. ☆

Makoto: The last day for Λucifer is over! Thank you for all the many wonderful memories. (^-^)/ We’ll still, still, still be back. ♪ Λucifer is the best. ♪ Thank you for the many letters and presents this time, too! ♥ Last night, Yukinojo Mori-san complimented me by saying I’d become a proper adult. ♪ He also complimented my singing. ♪ I’ll do my best. ♪ These two days passed by so suddenly, I feel a little sad. （ ; ; ） Λucifer’s reunion shows this time around, too, seemed well-received. ♪ But it was so fun, I even dreamt of it later! Us in Λucifer, we swear to reunite again as we set onto our differing journeys. After we’ve each respectively grown as artists, we’ll definitely be back again, so when the time comes, we’ll be asking for your support. (^_−)−☆ Off to new adventures… Λ

Until next time…

From Yukinojo Mori, who wrote lyrics to the majority of Λucifer’s songs.

From Acid Black Cherry.

From Hiroshi Tamaki, badass actor and friend of Makoto.

Some thoughts from the band:

Makoto: Before I knew it, today’s the last day for Λucifer! With the power I received from you all yesterday, I’ll give it all I’ve got today!! We’re hoping for your support!!!

Towa: Just like that, the first day of Λucifer’s live is over in the blink of an eye! Thanks to everyone who came! Thanks so much for all the presents, too! I’ll see you tomorrow!

Atsuro: Thanks for today, everyone! We had a really special time. ☆ I got in such high spirits, I forgot all about us having another show tomorrow. Λucifer will go on to become an even better band! Today was a really good day. ☆ Music is really wonderful! I have to work harder… With that, good night～☆  Oh, and Yukinojo Mori came to see us today as well. I was happy when he praised us after our performance. ☆ Also, the lyricist Aki Hata came to see us, too～!! Realizing that he was watching me not as the Daichan-me but the ATSURO-me made me really embarrassed. (>_<) As I’m thinking we have a show tomorrow, too, I’m having a hard time falling asleep…

Yuki: The first day ofΛucifer’s live is over. ヾ(^▽^)ノ With the nostalgic footage and all, it was fun! Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to tomorrow as well!

Santa: After doing my stretches and taking a bath, I’m just toasting here by myself. (laughs) Going “ah man, I really went for it today～” while taking off my clothes off my sweaty body… I noticed I’d come back wearing someone else’s T-shirt. (strained laugh) Who’s is this black T-shirt? (laughs) And as I was going “oh shit, it’s the earthquake alert～” and getting mentally prepared for it…… I realized I was wearing nothing but underwear. I’m glad the earthquake never came. (laughs)

Some fan reactions:

@sallieday: It was realllly fun～!! I’m so glad I went!! It was all songs I love and the MC’s were so funny, I just laughed and laughed. ♪ Thank you for an enjoyable time. ☆ Good work. ＼(*^-^*)／

@a1y2a1n8o: The show was really fun. ♪ I was really moved that I got to meet everyone from Λucifer again. ♪ Thank you very much! I bought all the goods, too. ♪ I can’t attend tomorrow because of work, so I’ll be looking forward to your next show. ♪

@mihox1127: Good work! It was so fun. I want you to do another reunion soon. (:_;) I got more friends at the last show, too, and it’s all thanks to Λucifer. (:_;)

@chiezou_63: Good work on the first day. I would’ve never thought I’d get to see you from front row, so I was happy. I’ll be acting riotous at the back tomorrow. (≧∇≦*) Λucifer ♥

@gorochan23: Good work on the first day! This was my first time seeing the five of you together, so I was already crying aloud during the first song. I’ll be attending on the second day, too!

@amaihachimi2: Today’s show was really, really fun. (*´ー｀*) Thank you very much for the happy time!! I’ll be taking the night bus back to Nara now, but I’ll be soaking in the reverberations of the show all the way back home. (*^^*)

Finally, some pics from before the show:

One more show to go!

Λucifer are doing another two live shows in February! Here’s the announcement from Towa:

The frozen Λucifer has decided to momentarily defrost to play live!
2012.2.28 and 29, two days at Shibuya O-EAST!
A special website will be set up on December 8th.
The advance ticket reservations will begin there from the 10th.
Details on the website will be announced here shortly!
We’re hoping for your support!

Also, here’s a tweet from Atsuro:

To respond to the many comments we received from people saying “I want to hear Time Machine wa Iranai played live!“, we’ve decided to do a 2-night comeback. Since it’s kind of sudden, we’ll have to work hard to make this two-night run happen, but it’s really a miracle we were able to book EAST for two days in a row. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone!

We’re another step closer to that new album… </wishful thinking>

Edit 12/8: Updated the post with a badass picture (above). Here’s the link to the special site: lucifer-timemachine.com

• And that’s it for today! On my way home now (^O^) Tomorrow it’s photography time for Λucifer!!

Makoto has resumed answering fan questions again. However, due to me being busy with other stuff lately, this is the last Q&A batch I’ll be doing. Do remember to follow Makoto on twitter, he really gets a kick out of it when he hits new follower milestones. Hope you had fun reading these!

What do you think is the color best suited for girls’ “lucky underwear”?
Datenshi RED!!

By the way, it seems that: “The one thing Makoto Koshinaka lacks is tolerance. On the other hand, something he might be better off getting rid of is his pervertedness.” http://shindanmaker.com/29370… Any comment on this? (lol) (Note: shindanmaker.com is a site with quizzes where you enter a name (usually your own) and get “diagnosed”)
Dakishimeru hoka ni nani ga dekirun darou? (“What else could I do except embrace you?“)

In that case, make your next fan meeting a hug event! That way everyone will definitely decide to come!?
Announcement! I’ll hug everyone who comes to the fan meeting!!! If that’ll make everyone even a little bit happier…!

Seriously? If that’s so, then it’ll be my first attended fan meeting…
Don’t touch me in any strange places～! Chu!!!

Question! Do you have to be in the fan club to be able to get a hug!?
No you do not.

Seriously! Is it true you’ll hug everyone who comes to the fan meeting in May?? Even guys～!?
Yes!! Hug me quickly!!

I want to attend the fan meeting! Is it okay even for a 45-year-old auntie like me????
Hug me, please.

No, you hug me, please.
Would you like that warmed up? (said in the voice of a convenience store clerk)

It’s really too bad I can’t go to the fan meeting this time, but I’m always cheering you on! The hugging thing you’re doing this time, will you make it standard practice at future events, too? Please do.
I’ll consider it!

The atmosphere at that restaurant seems really lovely＾＾* …I’ll do my best to come. I can’t help but be nervous; I’m really troubled about what to wear for the event (lol)
I feel like I should apologize…

After Makoto tweeted that he’s writing lyrics:

Please do your best!! Lyrics that bring to mind the Spring time would be nice♪ The sakura seem to be blooming already (^-^)
They’re dark, not at all Spring-like lyrics. Ihihihi.

Question! Where do you usually write lyrics? Do you have a favorite place or something??
On top of the bloodstained chopping board of my mansion.

In response to Makoto (rather cryptically) constantly tweeting simply: “Adult time“

What does one do during “adult time”?!
Fade into the dusk.

Adult time? Does that mean you’re kissing your mirror image again?! (´ε｀*)
Ah crap, busted!

What are you really doing? Please tell us!
Meditating, having delusions, daydreaming.

My sexy beam won’t come out.
Remember to wash your nipples.

What’s the best way to go about washing them?
Wash them while gently stroking them with your fingertips in order to not hurt them.

After Makoto tweeted the following:

• Ramen is my lover?!….
• Someone become my girlfriend please.
• Sorry, I forgot I already had a wife by the name of Twitter. (sweatdrop)
• Someone please heal me with your tweet.

Makossan, are you feeling lonely…? (>_<)
Yes, considerably.

“Sabishii yoru wa kirai da～” ＠ Tsunku (Note: vocalist of Sharan Q. See following link.)
You have the lyrics wrong! It’s “gomen da～“!!

What’s your taste in women??
I like the gentle type.

And what about men? (^O^)
Odagiri Joe!!

A cute young lady who’s like a pudding, or a pudding that’s like a cute young lady — which would you rather eat? (lol)
Both!

Makoto:

• Sorry to be so sudden, but… I’m getting married!
• Actually… it’s an alien I’m getting married to!
• Actually, I’m… a woman!

April Fools, right? (lol)
It seems I’ve been found out……

The person I was interested in started going out with my friend. Should I give up…?
Climb atop a telephone pole and watch them from up there.

Makoto!! My TV has been going on and off on its own for like 10 times already, it’s really scary (ノд<。)゜。 Even though I have zero belief in the supernatural! In any case, for now I’m going to blast “FLAIR” on loud volume and clean up my room!!!
Sorry! I just had an out-of-body experience now and played a little prank on you. (lol)

This could be the last batch for a while. Makoto’s not answering fan questions lately as he’s (understandably) busy tweeting about things related to the earthquake. Before today’s 25 Q’s, have a couple of his childhood pics!

I have a live tomorrow and I’d be happy for any word of advice.
Please sleep.

I can hear awful singing from above (>o<) Makoto, save me～!!!
Let’s write him a gentle Death Note!

Do you listen to kannivalism (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)?
They’re my juniors. I like the song “mum”.

My Chemical Romance are good right (^^) What songs do you like ＼(^o^)／?

What are your biggest goals for this year?
To release and perform with Trick!! Look forward to it!!

At †яi¢к’s lives, is it possible you are also planning on covering Kaiki Shokubutsu?
We’ll consider it.

Studying right now! Makoto～♪ Words of support please(*^ω^*)
Calculate the area of this trapezium.

Good evening! Makoto, please tell us the secret behind your beauty!? (o^∀^o)
French kissing my mirror image! (lol)

What’s your favorite flower (*^^*)? I get the feeling it might be roses..
Moluccella. It means “eternal gratitude” in flower language.

How does it feel having become connected with fans on twitter?
I’m happy there’s this much response (to this 30-year-old).

A while ago, you appeared on Tamaki Hiroshi’s radio show right!! I was surprised to hear you’re drinking buddies with him!!
I’ve known him for 13 years now. He’s the first friend I made after becoming a performer! He came to both Λucifer’s revival live as well as our first live ever!!

I was in front row smack center at Λucifer’s first tour in Fukuoka, in other words, right in front of you. I still haven’t forgotten the look in your eyes, nor the cold feel of your hand that I touched.
I haven’t forgotten either………. probably.

Do you have any memories that stick out to you from Λucifer’s live last year at Nagoya E.L.L. (* ‘▽’)?
The children who were cosplaying me before had now become adults!

I attended Λucifer’s live at Akasaka BLITZ and was just wondering about when you threw water from your bottle to the audience.. is that something you’ve practiced before? It looked like it flew quite a long way.
That’s always been my forte!!

Listening to “Desire” right now♪ It really is a great song♥♡
Akina Nakamori?!

Makoto is very younger !!! (sic) haha… http://yfrog.com/h7glb0j http://yfrog.com/h20ua1j
Stop iiit～

After Makoto announced his love for Odagiri Joe:

What do you like about him?
His beard.

Since it’s the middle of the night, I’ll ask this question… what’s the first thing you look at in a woman?
The mouth.

Good evening. What’s your fashion item recommendation for this Spring? (?_?)
Handcuffs.

Makotooo! Please help me decide what to get my big sister for her birthday(^ω^) They weren’t selling eye accessories anymore (lol)
A 5kg dumbbell.

As a bonus, here’s a fun twitter convo between Makoto and Kaikan Phrase creator Shinjo Mayu!

S: First time in quite a while drawing this～(*´∀`) The color version was for the DS game, but I wonder how many years it’s been since I last drew this in monochrome.

M: Wait a minute. Is that me?
S: Yes it is. o(*^▽^*)o
M: Wooooooooooooooooooooooowww!!!!!!!!!!!!
S: This, too, needed to have a revival. (*´∀`) For the first time in ages, I’m doing this scene. I can’t show you everything of course. (^▽^;)

M: Kaikan!! (said in Hiroko Yakushimaru’s voice) (Note: a famous line of hers from the movie Sailor Fuku to Kikanjuu.)
S: Drew Aine in a spur of the moment. If I upload any more pictures than this it’ll be a spoiler, so I’ll stop here!!

M: Aine, I love you!!
