who shouted for the encore? The woman (now an angry spirit) cursing them? Or just some dumbass fan not getting the weird vibe? Fed-Kun's army

Kingdom sure had a killer set
The scariest answer? Some dumbass fan.
I guessed that the whole concert is them atoning for their sins...and I was right. And the worse part is, we don't know which one of the band member that killed the girl. All we know is, all 4 probably has a thing and a fling with her, they argue...and one of them killed her and cursed her
That's actually scary..the other 3 probably ain't even involved yet they got cursed too.

Is this chapter just laying some developments in Hama's character/perspective about this job? I don't really get what Hama's flashbacks/images supposed to mean..

This band ruined the original song for her.

That's pretty crazy. Seeing this concert scene in live action or Anime would be rad

This one is kind of interesting. It's one of the rare times the gray is acting in a justified way, and we sympathize with it.
These guys did horrible things to that girl. She cursed them so their faces were as ugly as they were inside. And when they tried to break it, she made sure they would continue to pay.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is I understand this arc:
A woman ,whose name is Kimi, was having an affair with everyone in the band. When Hikaru, a band member, tried to strangle her for that, she ran to the long hair guy then showed her true face was a wicked being. Kimi then cursed everyone in the band and got away, leaving them with disfigured faces.
To lift the curse, they were advised to perform a ritual with large amount of prayers, and the concert was that ritual. On top of that, they must not stop and had to endure being tormented during the whole ordeal. And the final twist is: Kimi came back and asked for an encore, which mean they have to redo everything again.
The band definitely couldn't make it because as the monk said "If it lasted just a tiny bit longer, they wouldn't have held on"

Pretty much, tho i believe she didn't get away but was killed by the band members ? We saw them standing bloody over her corpse, which is what Hama saw also (and i assume everyone in the crowd for a moment). Kimi basically became a vengenful spirit and placed that curse on them after.

I mean, she cheated on every band member with every other band member. Cheating is vile. It doesn't really justify murder, but it's not like she was innocent. If you cheat on someone, you should be prepared for consequences. When you fuck someone over, retaliation is likely. And she fucked them all over at the same time, burning all bridges simultaneously. I really don't know what she was expecting.

That does not excuse murder. And frankly, given how weirdly calm they all seemed to be standing over her dead body, with her blood on them, and the fact that if she was somehow smart enough to sleep with all of them without any of them finding out for apparently a while, that she suddenly became dumb enough to alert the others by running to them for her protection seems a bit odd.
And again, someone being a a cheater does not excuse murder that was clearly covered up.
Damn
So at the end I assume the fucked up music being heard by Hama is the distorted audio of the woman being murdered by the band and that somehow reminds her of that memory, I guess my question is that is the original feeling and memory of the song being called back to brought up by the band performing or is it a natural connection that Hama makes. Because it feels like the band performing is making the fans into fanatics because they're watching and listening and because Hama isn't watching the effect hasn't fully taken over. Plus the gray is bleeding into the performance and thats what is letting Hama experience all this. Anyways I really like this arc, it's up there next to the colour chapters for me personally in terms of quality and enjoyment
While the woman did cheat, all four of the band members murdered her and covered it up. Presumably they got away with it because they're not in jail. I dont see how you can read these chapters and go "well its the womans fault for cheating" when she straight up got murdered by the band, i dont see in any world where cheating justifies murder

Ah I see, so this is how The Beatles broke up.
