December 12, 1997 @Shinjuku Liquid Room

December 12, 1997 @Shinjuku Liquid Room was a concert Fishmans performed at the end of the Walking in the 奥田イズム tour at venue Shinjuku Liquid Room. The concert was recorded in full on video, directed by Kensuke Kawamura, later occasionally broadcasted in part on Space Shower TV as the concert film Live Shower Fishmans. It was first broadcast on February 22, 1998 and later archived by fans as bootleg 1997.12.12 Live in Liquid Room. It was also broadcast on March 6, 2020, this broadcast being recorded again as bootleg "97.12.12 @Shinjuku Liquid Room ~ Broadcast 20.3.6 @SSTV". The concert video not only contains footage from the performance itself, but also includes multiple scenes filmed by Fishmans in a studio which interrupt the concert footage, but not the audio.

Notably, the 1997.12.12 footage excludes a number of songs from the concert. いい言葉ちょうだい, 忘れちゃうひととき, 気分, Go Go Round This World!, and Daydream were all performed at the concert, but cut from the final film.

Season from this performance was later remixed, appearing on live album 8月の現状. Weather Report from this performance was later printed on Fishmans' single いかれたBaby / 感謝(驚) / Weather Report. To date, these are the only instances where a performance from this concert was distributed on CD. A longer stretch, all songs from なんてったの to Season, was also printed on video album In Space Shower TV Episode.3.
