Susumu Hirasawa concert chronology

Interactive Live Show 1998 "WORLD CELL" was the sixth Interactive Live Show played by Hirasawa. It was the first time audiences could participate through the internet.[1] The story involves a Gardener King afflicted with Existence Paralysis (存在麻痺 Sonzai Mahi), and the relief efforts of Hirasawa (ヒラサワ) and the Rescue Bridge Guild (救済する橋のギルド Kyūsai Suru Hashi no Girudo) as they build bridges to reach the World Cell at the ends of the earth.[2]

The second show was broadcast live on Viewsic and re-aired on it the following year. The concert went through various issues, with a moment where the equipment was down for around 20 minutes[3] considered by Hirasawa as the most worrying case of machine trouble in an Interactive Live Show.[4] No home video release was ever issued.
