If a G.L.A.M.S concert could be summarized in 3 words: Cinematic Alternative Rock.
The music is like watching a different piece of cinema for each song. Abandon yourself to Mikaru's voice and music as we all merge into one body, mind and soul. But be prepared. After watching their show, you can't go back to what you used to be. You will be a witness to the new history of Japan.
