ABGD (アビングドンボーイズスクール), Energized Performance

I always remember Abingdon Boys School's vocalist, Takanori Nishikawa (西川貴教), is like the energizer bunny. Full of energy! The vocalist either makes or breaks the whole band for indies groups. Well, for me anyway. Somehow I'm super turned off by vocalists who are without looks, stage presence, energy, good vocals or confidence!

The GazettE, Miyavi, Hirai Ken & HYDE are good examples of artists who can sustain the interest of the audience because it's just fun to watch them. Takanori Nishikawa (previously of T.M. Revolution) fits in that same category. He has all the things I've mentioned above, except for looks. However, his face, though not handsome, shows enough unique expressions to make it fun to look at!

This is the recently live performance in Europe which a fan has captured.
Do NOT expect good quality.



Next, a better video of their studio live performance.
