Visual kei band exist†trace started a unique concert series project last month: "The 19th Challenge," a series of individual concerts held on the 19th of each month. May 19th marked the second of these concerts, individually titled "A story of existence."
The concert, which consisted of a performance of 20 of the band's songs, traced the story of their band's evolution and success. It began with fan favorites "Judea" and "liquid," ending with new releases "Get Back" and "Sky" from ROYAL STRAIGHT MAGIC, their recent album.
The choice of the 19th of each month comes from the katakana spelling of exist†trace sharing a pronunciation with a certain reading of the number 19 -- the day is called "IGU DAY," and is the band's day of choice for events.
The third concert in The 19th Challenge will be happening June 19th, and is titled "The Urge Blue." No theme has been given to the performance yet. However, the band has also announced an appearance at the upcoming "hide presents MIX LEMONeD JELLY 2017." Performers like heidi., DaizyStripper, and many more will also be in attendance.
"The Urge Blue" will take place June 19, and "hide presents MIX LEMONeD JELLY 2017" will take place August 5 at Shinkiba Studio Coast.
