The show that girugamesh performed on June 26th at Zepp Tokyo was the final stop of their world tour, "Here we go!!", which started on March 5th. �For this world tour, they toured Europe, the US, and finally Japan.

Their set list for the tour was packed with songs from their latest album, "GO", which was released on January 26th.

The 2,450 people who were crammed into the floor at Zepp Tokyo sensed the show was about to start, and were murmuring with excitement. �In response to the electricity of the crowd, the band emerged on stage exactly at the scheduled time, while "Opening" - the first track from "GO" - played in the background.

Basically, the audience directed a deafening and ear-blasting sound towards the stage. �This welcome, which came from every�corner�of the venue floor, set the four band members on fire.



They first delivered the songs "destiny" and "EXIT" as greetings to the audience. Then they spurred the show on with big dance numbers "sunrise" and "evolution." �Now the band and the audience were staring to figure each other out, and the interplay between the two parties pitched forward into a faster gear. �This is the point where the show officially promised to be amazing.

During the song "Calling", which starts with synchronized vocals, ShuU pointed at Nii with his left hand and the crowd turned their eyes on him. �Nii then hammered out a heavy guitar rift. �The more he bangs his head as he played, the more he made it clear he was totally immersed in the rhythm of the song. �The idiosyncratic, wild, and sharp tones of ShuU's bass, and the powerful yet tight drumming of�?yo, laid the groundwork for Satoshi to sing his melodies. �Satoshi's steady vocals unfolded beautiful scenes before us during the middle of the set with songs like "Inochinoki", "Mienai Kyori", and "COLOR" - songs that you can sing along to.

The band did not fail to deliver their usual recipe of deliriously loud heavy rock, but there was something different about this day's�performance. �Not only in the way they looked, but also in their sound there was something stylish and refined.

The band fully satisfied the audience in terms of music - but on this day, they gave more than just that. �For example, they paused in the middle of one song for ShuU to talk about his first love, which was an unusual thing to put in a monologue here. �Or also, Nii at the end of a song put on sunglasses, and while�interjecting�wild poses, played intensely on the guitar. �They don't usually have this kind of performance, and from these little signs during the show, I�figured that girugamesh could develop as a band even further.

They also showed that in the future, they might appeal not only to hardcore fans, but also all people on a broader scale.

For their last song of the encore, "Saikai", they promised the audience their further growth, and came back on stage to show the very best that girugamesh has to offer. �For this song - amidst complete darkness - spotlights shot down from the ceiling to light up each of the�members. �And then, when there was just one pinpoint of light, there was a long silence until Satoshi - as if tearing apart the darkness - starting singing the continuation of the song without a microphone.

"Thanks for today. �In the future, we're going to stay honest with our music and approach to what we do with total integrity. So come join us!", Satoshi said.

This tour enabled the audience that attended to sense how girugamesh's music has appeal throughout the world, and it has allowed the group the mobility to move up a level in their performance ability.
