THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S 10th Anniversary "THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S vs OFIAM"

THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S celebrated their 10th anniversary with three guest vocalists - one for every era - and their new project OFIAM made its live debut.

Visual rock band THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S was founded ten years ago on August 24th. Just a few days before the exact date of their formation on August 21st, 2021, the band commemorated their decade together with the live show THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S 10th Anniversary "THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S vs OFIAM" at YOKOHAMA Bronth. Because the band has had no vocalist since late May, they were looking for reinforcements for the birthday live and found them in three old and new companions.

The show started with a video on the screen, which was underlaid with the sounds of the opening track from the band’s first album, A BEGINNING FROM THE END.. Within the video, the years counted down from 2021 to 2011 and a picture of the first guest vocalist, Ricky from DASEIN, was shown, followed by the band’s first logo design. Meanwhile, drummer TSUKASA, bassist ZERO, both guitarists SHUN. and kazuya, and Ricky appeared on the stage. Only a few moments later, they opened the show with a performance of HELLO MY CLONE. This quickly created a nostalgic feeling, as fans were able to witness the band’s original line-up onstage together after a very long time. However, it should be noted that Ricky already played one show with his old bandmates and former vocalist AMENO back in 2019.

During the subsequent song, Photograph, the band and audience became more active. ZERO, SHUN. and kazuya seldom stayed in the same spot and fans in the audience also jumped slightly along with the beat of the music or waved their arms in the air. Afterwards, SHUN. began to speak and greeted the audience in the venue as well as the people who were watching the stream at home. Furthermore, he introduced Ricky as a guest. The singer wished THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S all the best and explained that he was one of the founding members and the singer for the group’s first era.

At the end of the MC, Ricky announced the dark number Raimei, which saw all of the instrumentalists come to the edge of the stage and properly set the crowd on fire. With Seimei no tou, the atmosphere changed. It was not necessarily slower or quieter, but a wistful feeling spread through the venue, as the song also has a ballad-esque feel. The first real ballad of the evening followed promptly with Kono saki zutto..., which was also the last song of the first era with Ricky serving as the guest vocalist. The crowd followed along wonderfully and THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S also showed their joy through their playing.

With the departure of Ricky from the stage, the video started up again, the counter moving forward through time from 2011 to 2015. The next guest was then revealed: Kamiya Ray from Strawberry Under World, or SUW for short. ZERO is active as a support bassist for SUW, and Kamiya was selected to sing for the band’s second era, which offers many melodic songs. This section was opened with the performance of Nocturne. The lively singer mastered the different changes in the vocal melodies and even has a similar timbre to Nimo, the vocalist from the band’s second era. The ballad-esque piece was followed by the dreamy and powerful Nemureru mori no zensoukyoku ~REVOIR~, which saw kazuya seemingly completely immersed in his playing and Kamiya pulling off an impressive vocal performance that was honoured by the audience with lots of applause.

The band then took a short breather, followed by the next MC, in which SHUN. not only spoke about the many melodic pieces from this time in the band’s history, but also introduced Kamiya. When it was his turn to speak, the vocalist addressed THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S and the crowd, before the show continued with the catchy Gingatetsudou no yoru ~STARDUST EXPRESS~. Fans watching from home saw a dancing audience, running, playful musicians and a fan service moment right at the beginning, in which Kamiya hugged ZERO gently from behind when he played at the edge of the stage. kazuya took his time, walking over to SHUN. and playing at his side. With the last song of this part of the show, Jougen no tsuki no Orchestra ~Stella Note Magic~, fans were able to witness lots of motion on and in front of the stage once again.

Shortly after Kamiya left the stage, the video started up again in the background. The counter moved from 2015 to 2019, and the last guest singer, TAKA from defspiral, was displayed along with the next logo design. Meanwhile, TAKA appeared on the stage. As fans of either band will likely know, defspiral and THE MICRO HEAD 4N’S are connected by a long-standing friendship. They embarked on coupling tours titled 9BALL GAMES in 2015, 2016 and 2018, and they released two singles under this name as well.

The musicians opened the “3rd story” with the emotional and powerful Kagerou. The subsequent song REBIRTH -the 3rd form- brought even more action. The audience was headbanging and the musicians - especially ZERO - used the whole stage. At the beginning of the following track, LiaR, TAKA created a tense atmosphere with his deep, eerie voice. SHUN. was fully into the song, headbanging aggressively, while the audience pumped their fists into the air. As the last chords faded away, SHUN. spoke again, seemingly in disbelief about how cool the performances had been. After the formal introduction of TAKA as the last guest, he used the opportunity to address the audience and band. Unfortunately, the following song REMEMBER, would mark the last of their set with TAKA. The ballad-esque piece brought the memorable and impressive 10th anniversary live of THE MICRO HEAD 4N'S to a great end. Afterwards, the band left the stage.

However, that wasn't the end. The debut of the members’ new project OFIAM was also scheduled for that particular evening. The project was revealed in June, and it consists of kazuya and SHUN. on vocals and guitar and ZERO on vocals and bass. Since TSUKASA is already busy through his solo activities as Mogamigawa Tsukasa and with Mogamizakura Zensen, he only has a supporting role in OFIAM.

To give the band members enough time to change their clothes, an entertaining video from the photo shoot for OFIAM was shown on the screen. The musicians returned during an introduction video, while special tunes filled the venue and the crowd welcomed them back with applause. After that, they started to play the relaxing song Inochi. The video behind them showed calming images of nature like waves, water and blossoming plants, while ZERO sang along to the song. The following track, Toge, began similarly meditative, but added in the sound of a violin. The whole thing was refined by SHUN.’s voice and the insertion of text in the video, which he also spoke into the microphone. However, the song changed tempo and the harder instruments created a harmonious contrast.

The next song, Madara, isn’t easy to describe. It would fit perfectly as background music in an action thriller. Groovy beats, a subliminal tension, brass instruments, the guitar chords and growls all formed a wonderful package. But OFIAM can also be different. The growls in the previous song already provided a glimpse of the project’s harder side. Tsumi united the hard guitars, alienated, threatening vocals, more growls, SHUN.’s voice and chaotic pictures into a song that is not at all for the faint of heart. However, this was rewarded with a lot of applause.

OFIAM took a short breather with their MC, reaffirming once again that this was the project’s first live. Then they rushed into the performance of the fast, driving but somehow also dreamy song Sora, where kazuya sang with a slightly alienated-sounding voice while different cityscapes such as a tunnel underpass or a skyline at night were shown on the screen.

After another MC, the set continued with the hard, fast-paced Kami and the fast but only partly hard song Batsu. Both songs featured ZERO speaking and singing, respectively. The latter track also had a danceable refrain. Furthermore, fans could see SHUN. and kazuya playing at centre stage and the audience was called on to clap along.

Following a drink break, SHUN. turned back to the crowd for another MC and announced the last song. After a few chords, the quiet Ao turned out to be a dreamy song with a relaxed atmosphere, a violin melody, a beautiful bass line and magical guitar playing from kazuya.

The music of OFIAM eludes a clear description. The sometimes gentle, sometimes hard sounds of the instruments, the voices, but also the electronic music and the associated video elements form a distinct unit and should definitely be considered as a whole. But it is also a fact that the songs are rousing and it’s hard not to be interested in hearing and seeing more. It remains exciting to imagine what the future still holds for OFIAM. Their debut show was definitely successful in awakening fans’ curiosity.

With their thoughts on the 10th anniversary, the live debut of OFIAM and the birthday live to share, the band gave a longer MC. However, they also wanted to welcome their guests back to the stage. The three men followed their call and returned in a good mood – dressed in the band’s 10th anniversary shirt. After an amusing back and forth between the guests and the band, a memorable performance should follow at the conclusion of the concert. To fulfill this expectation, kazuya, SHUN., ZERO, TSUKASA and the three guests Ricky, Kamiya Ray and TAKA performed Curtain Call together. In this configuration, the seven musicians heated the audience up once again. Afterwards, a group photo with all of the musicians and the audience in the background was shot and they all said goodbye to both the fans in attendance and those streaming the show from home.
