Schwarz Stein -Reincarnation- Osaka

 About 2 weeks since their Tokyo live they came to Osaka. Since I live here I’m always happy when they stop by (which seems to be once a year).

Just like in Tokyo this was a remix live and the set list was almost identical but they skipped Sirius and did Fleeting Beauty instead. I also thought they skipped fixer, which I thought/think they did in Tokyo (maybe I just imagined it XD) but I was checking twitter and another fan wrote that they didn’t play it in Tokyo either…. *confused*

I would’ve hoped for a bigger change, I wish they would’ve played the older remixes, like Sleeping Beauty. I also miss Syphilis and Disorder and Creeper XD truthfully they could just make the gig 3hours long so they can go through the new and the old classics XD


Kaya still had a bit of a cough, Hora kept saying we all are going to get sick, he said it was especially bad for the people standing infront of Kaya :P Kaya insisted it was allergies though. Kaya asked Hora to do the MC since he was scared of starting to cough but Hora who usually talks quite a bit said he didn’t want to. I personally thought this was a perfect time for Hora to do Bio Genesis but of course that didn’t happen.


They mentioned the calendar again, Kaya implying Hora should go through with it and do the firefighter naked shot in May XD 

They talked about next year and I think Kaya got a bit confused, he forgot that he already told us they will have an anniversary live in August next year, so he said he’d save that for the event in December but that it was already in his calendar (I later checked with another fan who has the calendar and it’s only that live and the one in February in it). Kaya will be busy with his solo next year so I’m not sure what the Schwarz Stein schedule will look like. I personally looked forward to Hora’s birthday next year since it’s on a Sunday (Hora’s birthday is after the Golder week so I can’t take time off work right after a week long holiday but if it’s a Sunday I’m free) however it doesn’t seem to be anything planned. I was going to ask him during the satueikai but I’m always very nervous and forget what to say and I also had some instructions for him for my pose XD I think the lady who took the pictures just wanted me to go XD


They sold their last copies of Demigod as well and Kaya pointed out he doesn’t like when people buy cd’s and then put them up on mercury really expensive. I thought it was good he pointed it out because Demigod was a bit insane, people bought several copies with the remix cd and and then charged double for it. For today’s satueikai we had the option to get a cheki or have the staff take a picture with our phones (Kaya asked that we have a nice filter on XD). I like physical photos so I got chekis like always. Today I wanted to ask for a pose but I’m not very good at it and I can’t really think of any but during the live it came to me; Hora kept referring to himself as God at the last live (and well, I guess for most of his solo :P Let there be light) so I decided I wanted to ask for the birth of Adam pose XD well our fingers pointing to each other I guess you could say. The lady who took the photos was confused about me wanting to take my photos separately (since last year I but 2 tickets and ask to take 2 shots) she asked them if it was ok and they said yes. I first took one with Kaya and then I took a deep breath and asked for a God pose and before I got to explain what I meant by it Hora seemed puzzled but when I said with our fingers I think he got it XD He did it anyway (so sorry for my silly request XD) His make up was different today, he had a thick line drawn from his eye down, it looked really cool but unfortunately it's not very visible in my cheki. On my way out I decided to burn some more cash by getting an old cheki from South America and I was lucky, I pulled out a signed one. I guess it was thanks to the hand of God.

Schwarz Stein Reincarnation Tokyo


 Earlier this year they made the remix album Reincarnation and a coupling gig. Then it was announced that they would make a mini tour (Tokyo and Osaka) and they also made a survey asking what song fans would like to hear remixed for this tour. 


Yesterday was the first gig of the tour and there were some things that surprised me. First was that they played the DEMIGOD version of Addictive Epicurean (I prefer the new regular version so I was happy though) and second was which song made it to become a new remix; Current. I was hoping people would vote for a more rare song (I voted for the alternation of generations since that’s the only song by now that they haven’t played live since their reunion at least).

Before the DEMIGOD release Current was played quite a lot at lives. Another thing about the remix, there were very subtle changes (a friend said she didn’t even realize it was a remix at first). I was hoping for a bigger change and for a different song.


Since the set list didn’t change much from earlier this year I’m also curious what songs people voted for to hear (I’m gonna ask Kaya and Hora at the next live). 

There were also no new merch despite that being included in the questionnaire and prices had increased (1 cheki with them now cost 3000yen and a random cheki was 1500yen) not sure if that was because they didn’t have any afterevent and that’s comes with a 3shot cheki. 


Kaya mentioned he had a cold last week and that he still has a bit of a cough but he pulled through. I managed to get a front row place this time so he took my hand during Succubus when he leaned in, I wasn’t knocked in the head this time (might not have mentioned that but last year i got kaya’s elbow in my head xD it’s ok, i don’t mind it getting rough). Like always I had so much fun and it’s sad going back home having to deal with every day problems. 



Points from the mc

  1. There will be another anniversary live next year . 
  2. My event in December is a ”no plan”, meaning they don’t know what they’ll do then yet. 
  3. Kaya suggested Hora also make a calendar, he suggested he make a ”fireman” calendar (apparently Kaya is into that xD, doesn’t surprise me)
  4. Kaya also suggested Hora stagedive. He said no and during Succubus when Kaya leant down on us I saw Hora pushing him a bit. Some of us waved at him to stage dive during succubus when he got close but he didn’t.
  5. Kaya said they’ll probably change the setlist a bit for Osaka.
