Live House Manners

1) Rules and the way UVERworld 's live houses are run

[Rules: The way UVERworld 's live house should be]
(Excerpt from TAKUYA∞ 's blog/
For FC members Blog of March 11, 2018 Please check though)

"Don't come to a live show just to dive!"
I've dived into other people's live shows many times, but that was
I couldn't contain my emotions! I was just trying to speak out loud.
Before I knew it, my body was flying!
That's what it is.

That's the only thing I'll tolerate from now on.

----------
"Isn't it okay to only do dives on days when there are joint bands and during男祭りand女祭り?"
But I also do performances to invite people to let go of their emotions,
I think I'll be pushing my way onto the floor myself.

It's a privilege and something unique to live houses.
I don't want to be tied down by rigid rules
He was like 15-year-old Takuya, who ran off to a live music venue.
You're still there, right?

----------
"Women who watch on the floor must tie their hair up. No heels allowed."
It's such a simple thing.

Think about it carefully.
Everyone there loves UVERworld. There must be something about them that they can understand.

If everyone reads the "Summary of Opinions"
I think UVERworld 's live house performances can reach even greater heights.

2) Live House Manners / From the Crew

[Crew comments (opinions) on performing at live music venues]

March 10, 2018 on TAKUYA∞ 's blog
Regarding etiquette at live houses,男祭り, female festivals, and mixed-gender concerts
We received a lot of feedback (opinions) from the crew.

I have put these words together,
If you are coming to UVERworld live show,
Before you come, please take a look at the words of the crew who share the same music.
In response to this, TAKUYA∞ gave the following words: as well as
"Live House Manners" Please read the following.
Thank you very much.

The following was posted on TAKUYA∞ 's blog on March 10, 2018.
Manners at live houses and about男祭り, female festivals, and mixed-gender concerts
We asked for opinions from the crew and these are the words (opinions) we received.

【Note】
●Counting is not equal to "majority vote."
(Comments that are just opinions, opinions in favor of both do not count)
●It is also a matter of mindset.
There are opinions that men and women would like to see improved.
This is not meant to be a battle between men and women, but rather as an "opinion" or "voice".
What to do after accepting it is up to the person's own "heart"
Even among people who have experienced gender segregation, there are mixed opinions. Opinions vary greatly depending on the position.

[Message from the Crew]
・Rather than addressing the issue of separating men and women or mixing them, we would like to see improvements in manners.
・If you divide it, more people will get carried away.
・Sharing reduces the spirit of mutual help and compassion.
-The fundamental problem is etiquette and the dangers posed to divers.
・Because it was a rare男祭り, I worked hard every day to train myself in preparation for it.
(I hope it's something valuable.)
・I'm against dividing it every time, but I think it's okay if you do it occasionally.
・When I was in a difficult situation in the mixed team, it was the boys who supported and helped me.
・I want them to make both days.
・How about separating the first and second floors for men and women?
・Even if men and women are separated, the boundary is harsh (male divers come into the women's area).
・Girls should have their hair tied up.
- I don't like divers, regardless of gender, who are there only for the fist bumps.
(It's not like I couldn't help it and just did it...
Some divers just want to fist-bump and wait above people for a few minutes.
・I wish people, regardless of gender, would stop singing full choruses loudly in my ear.
-Since you will be given a serial number, please use your own judgment to choose your position.
(Consult with your physical condition on that day)
・I would like the way in which boys are classified as unskilled and girls as skilled to be changed depending on the day.

・We are conscious of each other and are considerate of each other, so even at more intense band concerts and festivals
Even if we don't share it, fewer people will get hurt.
・Please only dive when you cannot control your urges.
・Please stop diving with the same people.
・Diving and lifting should only be done at joint band events or男祭り.
・The girl next to me might elbow me or hit me in the head even though I haven't done anything.
(Just because I'm a boy, they get angry.)
・Women should not come in heels or miniskirts. Please tie your hair up.
・Please refrain from wearing boots to the venue.
- I don't like arguments between crew members who try to rank men and women.
・I would like you to stop robbing TAKUYA∞.
・It's a little different for the male crew to dislike the female crew who dislike dangerous activities.
・There may be a lot of people who think, "As long as I'm happy, it's fine."
・I can't go to live music venues because just reading reviews makes me scared.
・It is possible to hold arena-sized events separated by gender.
・Please stop taking photos inside the venue and posting them on social media. (Prohibited behavior)
・Even men go there to listen to music, but not just for the fist bumps.
A lot of people don't enjoy music.
・We are a female crew, but I don't want to hug them. I want to reward them with a live performance.
・I wish they would stop diving with the same people all the time.
・I would like there to be a limit on the number of people inside the fence, regardless of gender.
・I want each person to take better care of themselves.
・I want people to know that there are men who don't like diving.
・I want a safe place where divers won't come.

[Reasons for supporting gender separation]
・If it's mixed, you have to be careful of couples.
I know you want to protect her.
Height difference is improved.
・It helps prevent molestation.
- I'm afraid of divers.
・Because I'm tall, I have to be careful with girls. (They often look at me like I'm a nuisance.)
・Mixed swimming would be better if fewer girls collapsed.

- It's strange that live performances are considered "dangerous."
・It seems like there are more and more men who just want to go on a rampage, rather than "men who protect women."
・If you do it, I'd like there to be a proper partition in the middle.
・During the mixed event, there were people yelling "Go! Go!" even before it started, and it was scary.


[Reasons for supporting mixing]
-Separation of men and women is difficult for couples.
・When there are only people of the same sex, there is more kicking and hitting.
・If there is only a woman, the support is weak and the chair wobbles.
・The sense of specialness fades.
・It's hard when there are only women around because they don't feel shy and just squeeze together.
(There is a lot of closeness/because men and women tend to be shy, there is a small space between them)
・I think it was fun because it was fresh.
・Men and women feel a greater sense of unity.
・When you separate them, both men and women have an "it's OK to dive" kind of vibe.

・I think there are more female members, so the odds are higher.
・This is also one of the best parts of live houses.
・Some people have trouble being classified based on "gender" in various ways.
・Even though it's an all-girl crew, it seems like it would be more exciting with the boys.
- It's strange to have a concert where safety cannot be guaranteed unless men and women are separated.
・I want people to protect themselves
(This applies to both men and women. Not everyone wants to be protected by a man.)
-The girls were trying to compete against the boys, but even though they were weak, they did piggyback moves and dived, and the others were unable to support them, causing the whole group to collapse and creating a dangerous situation.
-男祭りand女祭りshould be special.
・It was a male crew, but because there were only males around, some of them misunderstood and caused trouble for others.
I couldn't concentrate on the music at all.
・I think it's okay if you don't share it as long as you are considerate.
・I simply feel that the separation of men and women is lonely.
・I want to watch it anywhere I like.
・Live houses are a place where everyone can have fun, regardless of gender.
・If we separate them, the wall between men and women will become even more pronounced than it is now.

3) Manners at live music venues

[On Manners at Live Houses]

If you are coming to the live house
Please be sure to read it and cooperate.

What are the feelings of those who come to the concert hoping to experience UVERworld ’s music live?
They are all the same.
Even if we are comrades who are attracted to the same thing and gathered at the same time, and happen to be sitting next to each other,
Please enjoy the live performance without forgetting the feeling of "protecting" each of them.
Treat the person next to you as if they were your "important person."
This request is not mandatory, but we hope that many people will feel that way.
I believe that it will create a more enjoyable space.

So that the day we were looking forward to would not be a sad one,
For those who attended and those who are looking forward to the live report,
I want to make this a day that everyone can look back on and smile about.
I sincerely hope so.

* Pushing and shoving more than necessary may result in injury.
Please be very careful.
Also, Please refrain from getting too close as this may cause misunderstandings.
If you notice anyone acting suspiciously, please inform people nearby or a nearby staff member.



Regarding health management
-If you are feeling unwell (or have a chronic illness), please do not force yourself and watch from the back of the venue.
If you feel unwell during the live performance, please move to the back of the venue or inform a nearby staff member without enduring the discomfort. Also, if you see someone feeling unwell nearby, please cooperate.
A live performance will consume a lot of energy, so make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before, eat properly on the day of the performance, and stay hydrated.

●About clothing etc.
・Please refrain from wearing accessories or high-heeled shoes (including mules) during the performance as they may cause unexpected injury.
(Shoes that are easy to move around in, such as sneakers, may be more comfortable later on.)
・Please remember to remove your hat.
・If you have long hair, please tie it back and be considerate of the customers behind you.
Please note that having your hair tied up above your head may cause inconvenience to passengers behind you. Please tie your hair up in a twin tail or tie it up low on the floor.
・Decorated rubber bands, hair clips, and hair pins can also be lethal weapons. They can sometimes injure your scalp or ears. Please be considerate and remove rubber bands and hair pins only the hair pins just before the performance begins.
- Please remove earrings and other jewelry as you may lose them or, as mentioned above, cause injury to yourself.
- Please remove all watches, bracelets, bangles, etc. as they can become weapons regardless of design and may be lost or broken.
- Having a change of clothes in case you sweat will also help prevent catching a cold after the live performance.
・Please leave your luggage (important items) in the lockers or cloakroom.
(Luggage may cause pressure.)
・Please avoid wearing clothes that are too tight around the body as much as possible. This can cause the feeling of pressure to increase.
・Please avoid wearing clothing that exposes a lot of skin, such as camisoles and shorts.
During the performance, you will be in close contact with others. Please be considerate of those around you.
・Please refrain from coming to the venue with any writing on your arm or arm in marker. Because people are in close contact with each other at live music venues, the marker may transfer to the clothes of those around you, causing inconvenience.

● Regarding behavior during the show and inside the venue
-During the performance, people will likely be pushing or bumping into each other.
Even if you are not aware of it, you may push or bump into something with force. The human body is heavier and more rigid than you might imagine.
Pushing too hard can cause discomfort, and getting too close can put pressure on the chest and lead to oxygen deprivation. If you feel like you have pushed or bumped into someone, please speak up or try to leave some space. Please be tolerant of each other.
・If you see someone around you who appears to be in distress, is about to collapse, or has collapsed, please speak to them and let staff and people around you know know.
(Please be especially careful with short women, as they are more likely to suffer from oxygen deficiency.)
・To avoid dehydration and heatstroke, if you feel you cannot continue, try to move to the side between songs while raising your hands and calling out to those around you.
If you see someone doing this, please ask a staff member or someone nearby to help you remove them from the venue.
・During the performance, any actions that endanger the physical health of customers, such as moshing or body-ramming, are prohibited. (Please also refrain from any actions that may encourage such actions.) First aid will be provided for injuries that occur within the venue, but please note that the organizers and venue will not take any responsibility for anything that happens afterwards. Anyone who engages in any of the above annoying actions may be forced to leave the venue.
Please refrain from these actions as they may result in accidents involving other customers and may even lead to the performance being canceled.
・We have noticed a lot of people reserving spots with a limit on the number of people allowed, regardless of ticket number or entry order. Please cooperate by sharing your spot with others so that both regulars and first-time visitors can enjoy their time without discrimination.
・Please refrain from getting too close as this may cause misunderstandings.
