Suchmos Revival: “We Kept You Waiting Too Long”

“Life Easy” as The Final Song

The final song of the main set was “YMM.” The encore closed with “Life Easy,” beginning with a requiem-like piano solo by TAIHEI, whose intelligence, skill, and kindness support the band. The lyrics—
“Believing is the truth / Not for anyone else / Live for yourself”—
along with YONCE’s vocals and the band’s performance, were filled with a richness only gained through life’s journey. I also want to note that YONCE added an ad-lib:
“New things, things we can’t go back to, things that have changed, it doesn’t matter / Now, now / Joy, happiness, sadness / I want to go to a new place / I want to live.”

Suchmos will release their EP ‘Sunburst’ on Wednesday, July 2. When talking about the work, YONCE said in true Suchmos fashion,
“There will be many different reactions. It’s okay to feel all kinds of things. Good or bad, like or dislike—it’s yours alone, so don’t be swayed by anything.”

They also announced an Asia tour, ‘Suchmos Asia Tour Sunburst 2025,’ visiting 13 cities in Japan and overseas starting in October. Suchmos has experienced two cancellations of Asia tours before, but now, finally, their live shows will reach overseas audiences.

As I wrote earlier, they seemed to be singing and playing with their deepest sense of freedom yet. I hope they can continue to nurture the living entity called “Suchmos” in an environment where they can enjoy music and the band itself while protecting that freedom. From that, surely, they will deliver music yet unknown to anyone and expressions that affirm the outsider within us all.
