MTV has provided a direct video stream of the performance of "Blue Bebop". If anyone records it directly, please tell me ASAP <3 <3. The VIP Live was an exclusive event with the tickets at 10,000 yen (as opposed to their upcoming tour tickets at 6300 yen) and people who attended received a sort of special bathrobe. I dont want to steal photos of some japanese blogs so I'll leave it to your imagination. Nonetheless people were quite satisfied with the performance (despite the absence of Fumiya filled in by DJ Soma)

I have to say this live is fun if you want to gauge the popularity of each member. Ilmari probably takes top spot (one blog describes him as the gorgeous 30 year old) and Pes is a very close second. Ryo-Z & Ilmari however do have a certain charisma. However it's a great performance. If anyone is curious, the Setlist for that performance is:

BLUE BE-BOP
Bright in time
Minutes Maid
VIP SLYME

Reminding people that Halcali's release "Twinkle Star" is coming up on the 22nd! What's so important about it? Because it's another Ryo-Z & Fumiya OTF release! That's right, Fumiya's been absent but still shows he's still there. If you're familiar with Halcali's releases, this is a lot like their old style (aka Fumiya & Ryo-Z written). Their last release of Tip Taps Tip received a mixed response, whether it was because of it being their only OTF-less single or because of it being mainly a singing dominated song. Nonetheless this song shows the old Halcali style to its finest and Halcali, like Rip Slyme have been dissapearing back and forth through long absences!
