The MC was long but important for him and the fans. I cannot 100% accurately translate so take the below with a grain of salt. He says they have released Skindeep just recently but there is one more unreleased song he wants us to hear. The past year Dexcore did not release a lot of songs and it was also due to him not being all too well mentally. There were a lot of insecurities about the future and how to move on and he kind of got caught up in all the overthinking. There were times when body couldn’t move and when he went to sleep he was wondering if he was waking up again. This song has been written in the middle of this heavy mindset. There have a lot of bands around him that disbanded and there was also someone famous who died from self harm. So he heard about a lot of negative things around him which made an impact. At times like this it’s easy to succumb to negative thoughts but he then realized he’s actually happy. He thinks it’s important to keep going. “As long as you’re alive you can start over, as long as you’re alive you can change something, as long as you’re alive you can do anything!” While thinking this he wrote Still Alive because he thinks it’s important to keep going, which he he saying now full of confidence to us. While hanging in there they were able to organize the Dexfest with all the amazing bands which came there and even sold out the event. Therefore if there is something we really really want in life he encourages us to pursue it wholeheartedly. “Whatever you do, don’t give up, don’t die, don’t disappear! Let’s do our best together” Now they are playing the new song which expresses that you can do anything if you “stay alive”. He wants to to complete the song with the help of the audience and therefore ask everyone for their support. He asks to turn on the phone lights and to stop recording just for this song. And then to sing after him. “Let me hear your voices, you guys are alive!” A lot of people cried that that day, me included. It was really special and they haven’t played the song live since then. And just for context, the Dexfest was their self organized festival in Nagoya, they did it for the first time last year. A lot of Japanese bands organize their own events in the past years and invite local bands to play and even some more foreign acts lately. A lot of the local acts have a pretty good relationship with each other and often play in similar events or invite each other when they are organizing shows themselves so also the fans are overlapping a lot. Often you see Dexcore, Jiluka, Deviloof, Prompts and Sable Hills together in similar events for example. It’s always a great time.
