To the 150 million spectators before me! Rock can’t change the world! It’s you who change the world—the young people!Kazunobu Mineta
Mr.
Mineta, who debuted with the youth punk band GOING STEADY and has been active not only in music with GINGNAG BOYZ but also as an actor.

Welcome to Live House Budokan!Kyosuke Himuro
These are the words spoken by Kyosuke Himuro, the vocalist of the legendary rock band BOØWY, which disbanded in 1987, during the MC at their “’GIGS’ JUST A HERO TOUR 1986” performance at Nippon Budokan.
They reflect Himuro’s philosophy that no matter how large the venue is, if the band and the fans are there, it’s a live house.
Live your life to the fullest!Kiyoshiro Imawano
Kiyoshiro Imawano is one of Japan’s most iconic rock stars.
“Live your life to the fullest!” may be a simple phrase, but it carries real weight precisely because it comes from Kiyoshiro, who put his life on the line to keep calling for love and peace and kept singing fearlessly in the face of anything.
Life is tough enough as it is, so I can’t be agonizing over every little thing. I’ve got to keep smiling.Ken Yokoyama

In his unmistakable style, he shares words that lift your spirits just by listening and put you in a bright mood, teaching us the knack for enjoying life: just keep smiling—after all, we were born into this world for a reason.
The desire to have others understand what you love is perfectly admirable, but turning that into disparaging what others love is unbecoming. Those who cannot accept others’ sensibilities cannot convey their own.His Excellency Demon
These are the words of Demon Kogure, famous as the vocalist of Seikima-II.
I believe everyone has things they like, but it’s important to have a broad mind and truly understand what others like.
We should be careful never to belittle what someone else loves.
