It has been said that “Music is the best remedy.” This sentence was truly proven by the legendary visual rock band, PENICLLIN. When this incredible band, respected as the king of visual rock, gave their stunning live show in Taiwan for the very first time, it was really a dream come true for their loyal fans in Taiwan. The Taiwanese fans finally had the chance to witness this amazing rock band’s charm and talent.
With support member HIROKI, PENICILLIN took the audience’s breath away as soon as they showed up on the stage like overlords. The band graced their fans with endless classic songs to rock the dream-like night. When the first note of God of Grind sounded, the atmosphere could only get hotter and hotter. Seeing their gods in person, the fans of PENICILLIN gave all of the passion and love they had stored up for twenty years to welcome the unbelievable debut of PENICILLIN in Taiwan. “Ninety-ninth night!” the fans kept singing the lyrics of the famous song 99 banme no yoru out loud with Hakuei. Dressed in gorgeous costumes, PENICILLIN once again proved that they still are the king of visual rock after twenty years, not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of music.
Although Gisho had withdrawn from PENICILLIN, the band still carried on and tried to surprise their fans all around the world. The fans could even recall the love for Gisho when he showed up as a support member to contribute his amazing bass skills to some unique performances of PENICILLIN. To the fans, PENICILLIN would always be their most treasured band regardless of whether there were three or four outstanding musicians standing on stage since Gisho’s soul would always be with them.
“Hello everyone, it’s good to meet you all for the first time. We are PENICILLIN,” Hakuei said with a shy smile and unbelievable excitement. In return, the fans cheered and yelled loudly to show that they were excited and expectant of the coming of that day as well. “I have learned … a little bit of Chinese,” Hakuei said and followed up with a demonstration of his Chinese speaking ability by saying “Hello” and “Thank you” in Chinese. His simple action proved how much he loved the fans and how much he valued the debut in Taiwan. Then, he led all the fans to sing along to the next song CRASH with him, indicating that the night was just about to heat up.
Chisato played his guitar across his neck, showing his astonishing guitar talent. One could tell that his fall during the beginning of the very first song didn’t seem to ruin his mood and rendition at all, being the passionate and professional artist he is. He still caught all the eyes of the audience and immersed them in his beautiful music.
“How about the score of the World Baseball Classic right now?” Hakuei asked. It was really a coincidence to have PENICILLIN’s live and the World Baseball Classic, which had Taiwan versus Japan, on the same day and at the same time. Instead of a hostile atmosphere, the fans, band and even all the baseball players on both sides interacted with each other in a lovely way. Having music and sports interact between Japan and Taiwan in such a manner was really fantastic.
Explaining that it was his second time in Taiwan, the powerful drummer O-Jiro couldn’t help but express his happiness toward the fans and the show. He cheered and laughed all the time and put all his effort into his performance without any hesitation. “After twenty years, we are now finally here in Taiwan.” Chisato said, and he also expressed his joy toward the show. They interacted with the audience and brought the atmosphere to a peak once again by saying “Are you feeling high or not?” and gained more enthusiastic responses from the fans by saying “I love you” in Chinese.
As a support member, HIROKI played the bass with all his heart and soul, making the band complete. He showed his skills and had an instrumental battle with Chisato, lighting up the passionate fire in all the fans’ hearts once again.
When the classic song Romance took the fans’ minds away, Hakuei led the fans to sing along with him, making the classic song even more unforgettable. With the ending of this well-known song, the show seemed to come to a close as well. The members thanked the audience and then walked backstage.
With the endless yelling of “encore” by the fans, the band definitely wouldn’t let the night come to an end that easily. PENICILLIN came back on stage to answer their call. Knowing the feelings of all the fans, they gave the fans two sets of encores with all their love and amazing skills.
Finally, with the conclusion of Chaos, the night also ended. “Thank you, Taiwan!” PENICILLIN expressed their appreciation toward the fans and Taiwan for being able to hold this wonderful live. In return, the fans showed their feelings which were filled with ardor and purpose for PENICILLIN by clapping for them continuously.
Stepping out from the live house after being rocked by their heroic PENICILLIN with classic and new songs, all the fans smiled with satisfaction and gratefulness. There’s really nothing impossible if you keep waiting with hope. PENICILLIN proved that and really did inject energy, power and new life into all their fans once again.
