From December 2, 2008, to April 18, 2010, the band offered a free weekly podcast, with portraits of the musicians, behind-the-scenes content, concert clips, studio sessions and interviews, and coverage of their work as human rights advocates.

International media such as Billboard and USA Today[15] supported the initiative by sharing the concept with readers and online viewers.

Titled Arisen From Despairs, A Morning Of All Hope, the tour brought the band in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
