Underdogs Report!
The live was amazing, I really do love Erosion so much and I'm so glad they decided to stream the entire thing
God it would have been incredible to see in person like I would not have hesitated planning a JP trip but travel bans lmaoo-
Both performances were really good but imo vocally they sounded much better during the night performance so if you're looking to buy delayed viewing tickets or smth I recommend the night one
Also Su did really amazing for it being his first live, he also did some uhh very interesting things
The costumes were soo nice I really love what the costumer did with the designs, I was kind of worried about Yoru's outfit in particular but they managed to make it look not like a single dad, Ranchan looked incredible! I also love the personal touches he added (the wig, contacts, and tattoo)!
Anyways onto the performance
Setlist was pretty much the same for both performances except the last song
Live opened with Vigilante and I almost cried since I didn't think they'd perform it and also it's the song that got me interested in the series (insert me screaming no fxcking way to my friends when I heard the first note)
Then they went immediately into From a Spicy Peak, which is... Well I like the song but it was really just Chibasho and Ranchan singing while Tosshi, Su, and Yuuya stood in the back
The guys did a very quick introduction and then went into Radhead very fun and aggressive
Then they sang Aspiration immediately after. God I think it would be really rough to go from Radhead to Aspiration bc they're both very intense songs but they pulled it off really well! They gave Tosshi a mic stand which is always a dangerous prop to give someone ww
Short intermission where the had a short voice drama
Drama 1: Erosion live rehearsals! Yoru and Toxin start fighting over how Toxin's doing the scream in Underdogs - Toxin freaks out (as he does) and when he calms down he and Yoru try and compare their screaming. They each end up breaking one of Neight's glasses lenses as a result. Byakuya joins in and his scream ends up shattering the light fixture and killing the lights. Neight passes out and comes back as Ura Neight and goes on a tiny rampage because Byakuya was joking about how Neight's scared of the dark. Then the scene changes to Toxin alone talking about finding "that" for Carnelian.
Then it’s time for Lighthouse, really nice choice it really broke up the tension from the drama part and Su sounded lovely his voice is really nice 🥺
Next up was The Oath, beautiful and haunting Yuuya did incredible I could not believe how well he held those notes especially in Byakuya's voice (biased). When he did the たからものなの bit I was floored it was so haunting, I got chills, he really did that God KING!
Sham'ing next, ahh I really love this song, all five of them went to the top of the stage and they all had masks that they tossed away as their solo parts came up. Sham'ing already hits but hoo! Hearing it live is something else, I was really impressed with Ranchan's rapping in this one
Drama intermission again!
Drama 2: This takes place during the live, the boys are on stage addressing the audience when something happens, Toxin then Yoru drops their mics- somethings wrong. Soon all five of them are wheezing on stage, something happened to make them all want blood at the same time. "That" must be there, it's the only explanation. Toxin soon wanders off and starts addressing someone (pointing at self meme?) and how he'd finally found "that" for Carnelian. Toxin gets closer the screen goes dark and then the sound of Toxin drinking blood happens.
MC part next! The guys talk about their experience crack jokes etc etc I can’t remember all the details
Su shows up with his vest zipped up, Chibasho takes off his jacket and gloves bc its hot, and during night performance they get Ranchan to take off his button up and vest because if you know you know
Pien koete paon koete pien ga okadosu koi no suke
Time for Getout, another intense and fun one
Then onto the title song Underdogs. Ohh y’know this and that, the performance was great as expected. Su takes off his shirt, and just performs shirtless for half the song 🤪, twitter was in a frenzy, me and my moots were screaming, if anything brought everyone together during the live it was Suzuki Ryota taking off his shirt hhaha so like if you see inexplicable fanart of Neight shirtless this is why
Song ends and there's a short break for everyone to change before MC/announcements/encore
Announcements first which are all on the official twitter already, album, artbook, new apparel collab (aha my wallet).
One last MC part, Tosshi being the oldest member and by extension the mom of a group has a bit of a heart to heart, thank u tosshi we love u tosshi.
During night performance Su was kind of messing around with Chibasho and Yuuya, they were dancing to the side while the others were talking it was funny I love the dynamic they have going
Then final song time!
The day performance got the title track of the album "What is Mine"
And the night performance got the second new song from the Ecstasy version of the album "The Sun Also Rises"
Both of the songs really go off as expected, stan talent stan Erosion, and it makes me super excited for the album I cannot wait
All in all the live was amazing, really loved the energy it was fun it was intense but it did have it's slower moments. It was a really great live that captured Erosion's vibe I definitely recommend getting the delayed viewing tickets if you're a fan and able to!!
