Although ABC had a lot of LIVEs/hall tours/arena tours in this 2 years (Acid Black Cherry 2010 Live “Re:birth”, VAMPS “HALLOWEEN PARTY 2010”, 2011 Acid Black Cherry “The Sixth Sense”, Acid Black Cherry FREE LIVE 2011, a-nation 10th Anniversary for Life Charge & Go!, VAMPS “HALLOWEEN PARTY 2011”), but this is the first national tour in 2 years since Q.E.D tour. Q.E.D was the last original studio album before he was hospitalized for the vocal cord cysts surgery and took a long hiatus before coming back with Re:birth single. He was struggling with tremendous pain during the Q.E.D tour, you can see the whole documentary of the fight in Q.E.D DVD.
People who are familiar with ABC LIVEs/concerts might know that they normally will open the general admission to the public after the FC balloting ends. However, you have to be very fast once they open for the public because the casual Japanese fans really love ABC concerts.

Struck by the rain while searching for you
Shouting
「I love you. I love you」
Voice was drowned
by the sound of the downpour
Did not reach you
But still didn't care
Bursting out
「I love you. I love you」
Even though just simple words
Why didn't I say to you?
The rain outside
The same rain as that night
It’s like a lie if time could forget that
I'll treat you if you sulk
Recall back, if you notice, the day when I was with you
「Do you love me? 」
was your favourite phrase
Laughing mischievously, deceiving myself
I love you
Making you cry from trivial matters
Struck by the rain
「It's enough. It's enough」
I let go your hand which precious to me more than anything
The tears floated and smile shown
In a tearful voice, you said
「Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye」
Your smile that I love so much looked so painful
My dear empty sky burst into tears
When was the beginning? I cannot remember
To you, the word ‘like’, I didn’t even say it
Hey, what if it’s too late now?
On this pocket, I put in a pledge; I’ll go to find you
Embracing the rain
Shouting
「I love you. I love you」
Eyes were closed gently, just as the soft smiling face
I do not want to release those hands anymore
In a tearful voice
「I love you. I love you」
Even though just simple words
Why didn't I say that sooner?
Will you still accept this ring somehow?
Lately, yasu is becoming like my manager (laughs). Recently, when I went to play with everyone in Kyoto, we were all drinking, and someone I really look up to got undressed, and I thought I had to get undressed too, and when I got completely naked, yasu said “Please put something on at the bottom, at least” (laughs). “You’re right” I said, and came to my senses, but if yasu hadn’t been there, I would have been running around completely naked. It happens quite often, him saying something like, “HYDE-san, maybe you should stop.” He’s already my manager (laughs).
