はじめて観たんだけど、ドラムの子カッコいいですね！イカす。

[@JustOneVictoryNow]

Upありがとうございます❗世界中のファンが待ちわびていたライヴ動画です☺NarumiもMizukiも曲もカッコいいなあ❗Yuukiさんベースもコーラスもしっかりやってます(笑)❤

[@karaagetaro2023]

Mizukiの安定感は相変わらずだなぁ いつも全力で見てて気持ちいいし、最高だぁ

[@realdocloco]

Listen to Yuuki's bass! she does an amazing job.

[@davidtollefson8411]

They sound pretty good here, I like the rough edges. Bassist Yuki Hirose is the best thing about this band, super tone and playing ability with a TON of charisma.

[@greggarvin2663]

More live Lonesome Blue!! Awesome!! Thanks for uploading these videos!

[@hackermike31]

[@metalfriend6110]

Wow, thanks!!! 🤟💙🤟

[@casadeserena355]

Send love ❤ to Lonesome Blue, their wonderful works really got me. I hope that they continue their works, making more good music, and gather new fans anywhere

[@Slayblaze]

This is what I was hoping to see, best song by L_B so far

[@mysticaloha]

Nice performance, thanks for uploading it. I can see 3 happy ladies and 1 doing her job, who happens to be the one now on leave...

[@stevecastiglione8901]

thanks for these - I'm a big fan of Narumi...hope they can keep it going...love the drummer too...

[@junkgroovejunk]

Lonsome_Blue's Narumi has left the group. I hope Narumi, a female guitarist with the best guitar sense in Japan, and Miho, a charismatic bassist, form a new band. If they form a new band, I think they will be the only band that can follow Lovebites. It would be great if the two bands could go to a higher level while competing with each other.

[@stevecastiglione8901]

@@junkgroovejunk oh well - Narumi doesn't seem to stay in one place for long...and Miho - I hope only the best for her...

[@pappysheart6710]

​@@junkgroovejunkduuuuuude, that would be awesome!!! Speaking of all star bands of the Japanese female variety, I'm sure you know East of Eden. They're insane - they got Yuki from D Drive on guitar and she's like the least paid attention to member of the band. Drummer is from Lonesome_Blue.

[@retroislandboy9708]

i absolutely love these ladies . they are AWESOME !!! 💛

[@進村上-m1d]

ユーチューブ音声では真価は計りかねますが、ロンサムブルーの生勇姿をずっと待ってました！これからも突き進んで下さい！！。

[@waterwalker9600]

Awesome 🤘😁🤘

[@davidtollefson8411]

Recent footage means they are still going. Yuki on the bass is really great.

[@KarolyOrsos-sg3gp]

Ez a dal is fantasztikus!

[@JustOneVictoryNow]

別動画の"Naon no Yaonスペシャルメドレー2023"でもMaikoさん先輩達とプリプリ熱唱してます❗

[@NaotoKoike]

野音でもこれだけのパフォーマンスで演奏できるのは流石です。1000人くらいのクラブハウスでこの曲を聴いたら最高ですね。

[@christiancouvidou4777]

🤘Yuuki💠Maiko 🥁Mizuki💠Narumi🎸🔥 🔥Mizuki ➡🔍真空ホロウ

[@michaelmunno]

I really love this band. I am still so sad that Narumi decided to quit. IDK what happened, I hope we find out some day. There's a lot of talent out there, so I hope they can find someone suitable with the right talent and chemistry to replace her. but I will miss her, I thought they were going to really take off at some point. Time will tell I guess. side note, this stage at Naon No Yaon always reminds me of a setting in Star Wars : The Empire Stirkes Back ....lol

[@Folsomdsf2]

The problem is their vocalist gives shit shows.

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

It's not her music, she's not getting royalties and they are fairly good hits. Someone else is getting paid royalties and not her. So guess what she's going to do. See you later. I can't believe they didn't let her write music, of course 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 She's going to split when someone else is going to the Bank. 🏧🏧🏧

[@JustOneVictoryNow]

やっぱギター2本にしてコーラスもより充実させたハイブリッドな新生Lonesome_Blueが見たいな🎵曲はMaoさん忙しいでしょうが,ず〰っとお願いしますw🚀

[@gitterich]

Very, very good bands like ArkRoyal for example take years of hard work to get even a little bit known. This band will do it in a year. Narumi was needed for this. Now the goal is reached and Narumi can zip off. Now a bit of pop music is produced to sell 2 more LPs and that's it. Possibly a profitable band for the record company. For the musicians too, no one knows. A total letdown for Narumi and her fans. Narumi belongs in a top band. It was a waste of time for everyone involved, including the fans.

[@davidarcus5131]

If Narumi indeed "was needed for this" and the goal is reached, how is it a waste of time for anyone? It seems Narumi wanted to help launch and participate in a new band. Creative differences are usually inevitable, so perhaps the best thing is for the three remaining members of the band to be grateful for Narumi's hard work and for everyone to move on. There certainly is no shortage of great guitarists in Japan!

[@dejavu9333]

Next song will be body rock?

[@changemyself606]

私達は2月に渋谷のど真ん中でMaikoさんと約束したんじゃなかったっけ⁉️一緒にこのバンドの未来を見ていくと🙋大丈夫かよ💕

[@タッ坊だよ]

そこら辺のアイドル歌手より😅カッコイイですねぇ〜💕

[@Dead-Eye]

1:16 ... Tell me the bass player isn't miming. Watch the fingers: listen to the bass.

[@Dead-Eye]

Or is something up with the video edit? Or my eyes?

[@Wyl7]

It doesn’t “seem” like an audio video sync issue because everything else around it looks fine. But yeah… your eyes are right. What her hands were doing in no way correlated to the audio we heard. And if she’s miming, it just makes this performance an even bigger train wreck considering the vocalist struggling to hit pitch and the guitarist struggling to cleanly play her leads.

[@briankooy4376]

There are some serious timing issues in this performance, especially in the first minute or so where Maiko looks completely lost. They pull it together here and there, but overall this is a total mess.

[@davidarcus5131]

I respectfully disagree with your overall assessment. Festival sets like this require different preparation from one-man live shows, and L_B's music is difficult for any band to pull off live. It also sounds like there is no post-concert editing, so the sound is raw footage. Maiko looks confident here, if still searching for her on-stage persona after only a handful of live performances. Yes, she missed a few pitches here and there (Yuuki had the vocal pitch issues in Parallel World), but I don't see people critique Nemophila's Mayu when she sings whole phrases out of key in lives. The only "off" performance is Narumi's. Perhaps she was planning to depart from the band by this the time of this performance; her departure was announced this past weekend. I wish she would change her mind and give the band a chance to gel as a live-performance group.

[@fultonbenjamin9022]

I think Narumi was the weakest link, not talent wise, but performance wise. She doesn't seem to be having fun! Maybe because she's been around for a while. I think she was a Destrose guitarist, back in the day. If they find a young, talented, guitarist, full of energy, it will make all the difference in the world, when they perform. Actually, if they're smart, they'll get two guitarist.

[@Rngalmcfc]

Its because its not her song

[@gitterich]

Narumi must have been told something before the concert that was not good. At this concert she was angry inside about something. She was not to be seen on any picture which was made during the concert with the other 3. However, with the Japanese, such things never come to light. Now Yashiro will come as the guitarist. It will be said about this band in a few years: The best thing about Lonesome_Blue was their fantastic guitarists. In the beginning I was hoping for 2 guitarists - Narumi & Yashiro would have been nice.

[@gotenks51093]

成美さまぁ～っ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@neworld2114]

Considering the fact that Japanese girls are ruling the metal seen these days my only suggestion is put them more rhythm and beat in the vocals. We don’t need to hear singing we need to hear anger, rage and joy then all these ladies are going to freaking skyrocket, put the vocals in the mosh pit make the vocals Mashable.

[@智浩三上]

成美しか勝たん

[@junkgroovejunk]

彼女はギタリストとして天才、私の周りのプロのギタリスト達は、Kanamiはとてつもない天才だと言う人が多い。 NarumiとKanamiが真の女王だと思うぞ。

[@SaintsCheat]

Dang the singer is so flat live. Band is spot on though

[@Wyl7]

The guitarist was a mess too. She hit a lot of bum notes throughout and looked bored doing it. Zero stage presence.

[@藤青-p5p]

初めて見たけど普通^_^

[@shinstrings-sweep3524]

MIZUKI🎉 that's all😅

[@ndnroker]

Is it just me or is the bass player not playing live and using a bass track?

[@tommylee2064]

う～ん、Voの力量不足が否めない。 あんまり詳しくないバンドだけど他のガールズバンドに比べて圧倒的にパワーが足りないかな、80年代、90年代くらいのガールズバンドならこれでも良かったんだろうけど。 ただギターとドラムの子だけは他のバンドでやって行けるしレベル高い感じがする。 何かボーカル&ベース ＋ ギター&ドラムで無理矢理組まされたユニットに感じるけどどうなんでしょ？ 何か違和感あるバンドに見えますね。🐈

[@gakin6695]

Voが何回も音程不安定なとこあっていまいちやねー

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

This recording is a mess.!?!? 😂😢😮😅😊😂😢😮😅😊

[@hectorgonzalez9170]

The video that was taken down was much better sound quality.😢😮

[@gitterich]

🤘🤘 Such a good song, but way too short for us senior rock fans. Made for a younger generation that is not used to concentrate on one and the same thing for more than 2 1/2 minutes and have fun with it. Young computer gamer clientele instead of people who read books in their youth. Made to be played on the radio. Was this song played on the radio in Japan ? No, because they broadcast pop music there. So why do they make this song so short ? The bass player gives me great pleasure here. 🤘🤘Narumi !🎸

[@gabu_cy4a]

Check their youtube channel, the MV for Face The Fear is a bit longer, its 4:22 minutes
