I have photos from before and after the shorter red hair, but none during (though I did go to a few shows during the TDoG and SGHN tours) - my mental image of him is very much stuck in the classic long red hair Kakko in big plaid goth pants plus long sleeve under short sleeve combo wolf shirt era. 😂

Here’s hoping they decide to do another run of symphonic shows and record those, to make up for it - still, having phone videos is better than nothing. 😅

These are the most recent solo shows, I can’t even begin to pick favourites from all time and including festivals as well. 😅 That being said, these WERE all brilliant live show experiences at wonderful local venues. 😎
