Poppin'Party × SILENT SIREN Battle of the Bands Live 「NO GIRL NO CRY -Round 2-」Pre-Live Report
Text = Kazama Taiyo
The second battle of the bands live 『NO GIRL NO CRY -Round 2-』 since May 2019 by Poppin'Party, a band from 「BanG Dream! (BanDream!)」, and SILENT SIREN has been realized. While it was changed to a distribution live in consideration of the COVID-19 situation, a live with audience was held on March 27, 2021 as the recording.
Chairs were arranged in the venue with seating spaced one seat apart. Before the performance, announcements were made that this was a public recording and that spoilers should be avoided until distribution. I thought it might be different from usual, but it was actually almost the same as always, and rather a special atmosphere filled with joy and excitement for the 2-year-awaited battle of the bands persisted throughout.
SILENT SIREN took the stage first. In place of a greeting, the 4 members aligned their sound crisply without a count, and from the moment of explaining the choreography while keeping the rhythm, the atmosphere to enjoy the live was created instantly, capturing the audience's hearts.
True to the declaration 「We've prepared an energetic setlist」, the lineup features upbeat tunes, and the high entertainment value of the live operation utilizing video and props is impressive as expected. Both sonically and visually flawless, they demonstrated the abilities of the group that continues to evolve even after 10 years.
In turn, Poppin'Party, facing senior girls band members they were meeting for the first time in a while, openly expressed their determination to 「show the results of our training」, and actually deployed a confident live matching that determination. Not only their signature pop and colorful songs and staging, but the intensity and emotional aspects shown throughout were unexpectedly striking.
Please look forward to the distribution for details, but while incorporating song selections unique to the battle of the bands and fun tricks unique to the distribution, the live progressed smoothly. The fact that the atmosphere of the entire venue remained consistently high and fans wearing merchandise of either band were seen enjoying themselves wholeheartedly was surely due to the highly attractive and inclusive performance.
Although their origins and careers differ, the two groups that have both survived the band scene and established firm positions delivered a battle of the bands live filled with overflowing joy and originality. Interests abound in what kind of editing and video direction will be applied next, and I look forward to the distribution starting May 1st.
