On January 14th and 15th, rock band ViViD held a release event for their latest single, "message", at Shinagawa Stella Ball.

As this was their first time holding a handshake event, vocalist Shin stated, "It was good to be able to directly talk to fans for a long period of time. It's a rare opportunity, so I was able to lean forward a bit."

ViViD had a big start in the New Year as they held their first Nippon Budokan live on January 7th. Reno expressed his joy saying, "The fans gave us their thoughts on Budokan. We've always dreamed about Budokan, and were moved by the fact that we were able to have the fans listen to our music. So we were happy to directly hear their thoughts."

Meanwhile, Shin commented on their new song with, "For us, it was the first Nippon Budokan live of our lifetime. We wanted to put the memories in physical form. We put all our feelings into the song."

ViViD will continue to hold release events in Osaka and other areas from January 21st. They will also kick off their first hall tour, "Welcome to the ROCK?SHOW", on June 27th at Chukyo University Center for�Culture & Arts Prunier�Hall.
