The live concert was called Thanks to You All.

Comment From Takanori Nishikawa "It's been a while! 'Gakuen Basara' is a long-cherished anime of mine, and I can't hide my happiness at the fact it's starting! It's a spin-off series and will be different from the other anime series and games to date, but personally that's something I genuinely want to enjoy. That's why I thought to take a different approach to songwriting this time and collaborated with Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas who I've been friends with for a while. I hope everyone looks forward to the song as much as the series."Comment From Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas"We somehow receive an offer from Nishikawa and worked on a collaborative track which is a first for this band! We're truly grateful to have received such a valuable opportunity! Please be sure to listen to the song and hear the chemical reaction between Las Vegas' music and Nishkawa's voice!   The anime series will premiere on TBS on October 4 and then on BS-TBS on October 6. The opening theme song will be performed by virtual idols EIGHT OF TRIANGLE.      

The new song The Going of Knockout by popular Japanese electronicore band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas will be used as the newest opening theme song to the ongoing anime series Baki: Most Evil Death Row Convicts which is now streaming on Netflix.   The anime is an adaptation of the "Most Evil Death Row Convicts" arc from the popular manga series Baki the Grappler which has sold over 75 million copies. This is the band's first song together with 5 members after guitarist Sxun left in June. You can look forward to hearing the new song hit Netflix on September 24.   The song retains the explosive and whirling nature of the band's music to date, with each section standing out in its own right which is sure to leave listeners feeling pumped. The exhilarating melody will seize the listener and can be described as being a human bullet who rejects the rules as seen in the anime series.   Las Vas have returned with a new formation and they have decided to continue forward with even more music.
