When the announcement five minutes before the performance was broadcast, the audience spontaneously burst into applause. As the opening time of 17 o’clock approached, the applause grew even stronger, and the enthusiasm of the audience who waited impatiently for the appearance of the members spread throughout the venue. Shortly following the scheduled time, the customer power went out,
While the audience held their breath as they watched, the four of them slowly set up their instruments and started the live with HARRY’s “Hello” as a cue, performing the medium tune “Chandler”. A loose rock’n’roll mix of twin guitars, groovy bass, and heavy drums that unfolded in unison, kicked off the reunion live. “Hello, this is The Street Sliders,” said HARRY, who is known for his taciturnity. At this day’s live, every time a song ended, cheers resembling screams were sent to the stage from all over the venue, but the Sliders did not change anything from 22 years ago, and performed excessive appeals and performances. Without hesitation, he stoically delivered songs one following another.
Following “BABY BLUE”, which has a comfortable slow rhythm, the intro of “Angel Duster” resounds, causing a great roar. Harry’s voice echoes languidly over the band’s cool, dry beat. After that, the four of them performed medium/slow songs such as “Let’s go down the street” with sharp guitar riffs and a heavy, dragging rhythm, “one day” with a vague sense of floating, and “Passing”, which fills the entire song with an unsatisfying atmosphere. They continued to play numbers, filling the venue with a melancholic mood. After raising the tension in the venue with the up-tempo “Pace Maker”, Sliders continued with the calm atmosphere of “Arittake no Coin”. The audience listened quietly to Harry’s rugged yet warm voice.
“Then, let’s have a new one…” was the introduction, followed by the songs “Kogeta Sora ni Hikari Hashi” and “Midnight Hour” by JOY-POPS, a unit formed by HARRY and Ranmaru. The four casually connected the missing link from the dissolution of the Sliders to the present. Here is the solo corner with the introduction of the members. Ranmaru sang “Tengoku Train” from the 1985 album “Sleepwalking”, and JAMES sang “Hello Old Friends” from the 1995 single “FEEL SO SAD”. made the fans growl.
The live rushed into the final stage with “So Heavy” full of sprinting. The audience raised their hands in time with the phrase “So Heavy” in the chorus, creating a sense of unity in the hall. “Back To Back”, which opens with a catchy phrase played by Ranmaru, has the audience swaying comfortably to the danceable beat. “Born in the City of the Wind” was delivered at the end of the main story. While the stage was illuminated by dazzling lights, the four of them enlivened the venue with an uplifting performance and left the stage.
The members reappeared on stage in response to the loud encore. The first song delivered was “I can’t even become a stray dog.” The audience thoroughly enjoyed one of the best ballads played by the Sliders at the end of the dissolution live. “I would like to thank everyone who was involved in our 40th anniversary live. Thank you for coming today.” performance. They captivated the audience until the very end with the finest rock’n’roll sound that can only be produced by these four people, and embody the continuation of their dreams. After the end of the performance, the ending SE was played, and the members remained on stage for a while, looking deeply at the packed audience, which was filled to the back of the stage, and raised their hands in response to the cheers that came from all directions.
Even following the members left the stage, the ending SE continued to ring, and applause resounded in the hall expecting another encore. Then, suddenly, a banner was dropped from above the stage with the message “The Street Sliders Autumn Tour!”. The surprise that presented the continuation of the dream erupted in unison from the entire venue, and the reunion live for the first time in 22 years was a great culmination.
