Quote from the "Details of the performance as it follows":
"The news of Fujio Yamaguchi's participation in Les Rallizes Dénudés was somewhat understandable, but it still felt strange. I went to Yaneura, a live spot in Shibuya, hoping to catch the performance. The performance was supposed to start at 7:00, but it didn't start for another 20 minutes. At 8 o'clock, the band still hadn't started. There was no sign of the band starting at all. I looked at the people who had come to see Les Rallizes Dénudés.

Many of them had long hair as if they had stepped back in time to the 1960s, and many of them were dressed in black as if they were loyal Les Rallizes Dénudés fans. I like people who are different, and I always wish there were more people with unique lifestyles. The fans of Les Rallizes Dénudés were not bad either, but I was strangely bothered by their somewhat lifeless atmosphere. At 9:00 p.m., lead guitarist and vocalist Mizutani arrived, dressed like a prince from the land of the fags. I was relieved to see Fujio walking down the narrow aisle, as he seemed to be in good spirits. It had been two years since I had last seen him at the resort with Masayoshi Kato. It must have been two years.

Les Rallizes Dénudés are, at best, a solitary group, but it is hard to deny the impression that they have fallen out of step with the times. I felt most comfortable with the noise I had heard recently. It was interesting to hear the sentimental sound of Mannen Mizutani's vocals on the slower songs. I irresponsibly wondered if Les Rallizes Dénudés would become a more decadent, camp, and amazing group if they continued their activities for another 30 years.

It was a magical experience to be in Yaneura that night, where time seemed to stand still. At any rate, the mere sight of Fujio was enough to satisfy me."
