Charity and Other Work
In the summer of 2008, there was an earthquake that hit Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku, Nightmare's hometown. When they heard about the tragedy, the band held a charity concert on September 26, 2008 at Zepp Sendai. Proceeds of the concert were donated to the victims. During their live house tour and arena tour ("Nightmare Live House Tour 2008 Killer Show" and "Nightmare Tour 2008 Grand Killer Show", respectively), they set up a donation box for proceeds to the earthquake and made a quick appearance on 24 Hour Television. They raised a total of 304,048 yen. They also invited victims of the earthquake to their show in Zepp Sendai as their guests of honour.
In light of the 2011 TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami, Nightmare held a fund-raising event for the victims called "publish and recover!" at Shinkiba Studio Coast on March 30, 2011.
