MAN WITH A 'REBOOT LIVE & STREAMING' MISSION Online Performance set for 8/29

Like a lot of other concerts and events, MAN WITH A MISSION has had to go digital and reach out to fans across the internet. This is both a good and bad thing; it allows them to reach people everywhere but isn't as personal as an up-close concert. But, COVID being COVID, we do what we have to do.

The streaming performance starts at 8PM JST (roughly 4AM PST/7AM EST for us folks in America). Tickets cost 3500 yen, or roughly $33. This event piggybacks off their previous 10th anniversary releases like MAN WITH A "B-SIDES & COVERS" MISSION in early April, MAN WITH A "REMIX" MISSION in late April, and MAN WITH A "BEST" MISSION in July. They also released a documentary this month titled MAN WITH A MISSION THE MOVIE -TRACE the HISTORY-. We last saw the wolves in San Francisco approximately a year ago. I flew back to San Francisco to see MWAM after my one-night stay in Atlanta where I saw fellow Japanese band GALNERYUS at ProgPower USA.  So yeah, they're worth flying across the United States for.  

Expect a night full of hit songs and fan favorites. Frontman Jean-Ken Johnny said the following, “We’ve missed playing for you guys, but we hope this will bring us closer together. It’s taken us a while to prepare for this but we’re glad we’ve made it here and we’re looking forward to enjoying some live music together.”

The performance is planned for approximately 100 minutes. You can watch it until 8/31/20 at 11PM JST.

Here's YouTube music links to the three releases from earlier this year:
