December 26, 1996 @Akasaka Blitz

December 26, 1996 @Akasaka Blitz was a concert Fishmans performed as the finale of the Long Season '96~7 tour at Akasaka Blitz. This concert was recorded in full but initially only partially broadcasted on NHK Radio during the 90s. Almost 20 years later, the performance was remixed and likely released in its entirety as Long Season '96~7 - 96.12.26 Akasaka Blitz on CD in 2016. The concert featured guests Asa-chang and MariMari. Sato and Motegi both claim this performance to be one of their best ever live concerts.
