UNDER CORE, an underground live house in the basement of a multi-tenant building, a 15-minute walk from the station. The 250-capacity floor is filled with heat, the smell of alcohol, and heavy bass that vibrates the eardrums.

In this venue where edgy alternative and mixture rock bands gather, the stage for today's headliner, 'Liar's Dice,' is finally on its last song.

At center stage, the lead vocalist Kanoka leads the audience with overwhelming singing power and charisma, while from the back, Shunri's technical drumming supports the band's backbone with a powerful beat. The heat from the spotlights alone makes it incredibly hot on stage. With the performance reaching its climax, sweat glistens on the neck of the enchanting, devilish frontman.

And at stage left. Even in such heat, the guitarist Sui keeps his sharp gaze fixed downward through the gaps in his long bangs, indifferently strumming his guitar without pandering to the cheers.

In contrast to Kanoka, who smiles at the audience and casually fires up the floor, he silently hones his own sound. To the audience, he is a quiet, mysterious, and solitary charismatic figure.
