Bad news first (from the Kerrang! tour official homepage):
Official Statement Saturday January 31 2009
It was with regret that the last night of the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour 2009 at Brixton Academy on January 30 was cancelled due to an unforseen electrical power failure in local area. Despite great efforts from the organisers and venue managers to remedy the situation throughout the evening, the energy supplier did not fix the problem and we were left with no option but to cancel the show. Whilst we explored other options, including the possible rescheduling of the show for tonight (Saturday Jan 31), we did not have the assurances that the problem would be rectified in time. Under the circumstances, and despite the best intentions of the five bands on the tour, it will not be possible to reschedule the show in the immediate future. We understand how disappointing this was for everyone who had bought a ticket for what promised to be an amazing show. The bands, Kerrang! and Relentless all share this disappointment, especially at what was supposed to be the climax night of a great tour.
Please check back for more information and how to obtain ticket refunds on www.kerrang.com from Monday Feb 2.
We advise all ticket holders to retain their ticket stub.

Three of my friends were there - for nothing. One of them was so pissed she left even before the meet&greet. Those who stayed though had the chance of speding 5 hours with all band members except Kyo. I heard Toshiya was so drunk he sat on a girl! (≧▽≦)
And now...be prepared because Kyo-kun smiles
This video message was recorded before the power outage took place. I heard that they caught Kyo-kun in the corridor, passing by all unsuspecting. And OMG he's so nervous! With more then 15 years performing onstage I didn't think he was camera shy but apparently he is. And honestly, he looks so young! If I was unaware of the fact that he's turning 33 in two weeks I would think he's 20-something. (*^▽^*)

And all five of them mentioned in their video comments that they plan to come back to the UK again this year. Which means that I can go see them because I have the money now, especially if I count in my birthday money. I'm glad though that I didn't go the London show. Even if there was this 5 hour long party with all the bands it is not the same as seeing Dir en grey live. Plus, Kyo-kun never goes to these kind of happenings...
I just feel sorry for my 3 friends who went there to see them, I honestly do. And I really feel bad for the bands and all the fans except one person: a friggin damn bitch who made my life hell in the past two years. My mother said it was because my hatred followed that stupid bitch there, to London and it caused the power outage. xD I think my mom watches way too many psychic thriller tv shows these days. ( ´艸｀)
And here's a nice moving image for you because I just can't get enough:
He looks very taken aback. OMG so adorable (but don't tell him I said that - fangirling over)
It was party time last night! Nippon Shoxx #12! With less then 5 hours of sleep from Thursday to Friday my mood was really going downward. But then my neighbor, Ayami came over and OMG I spent soooooo much time getting ready you have no idea I wanted to go in a skirt but it was so cold that I decided to go in jeans instead with my new shirt.
So we picked up my friends at the bus stop and off we went! I really enjoyed the evening, despite the fact that there was a block of techno music. In a JRock party that's like blasphemy. But there was so many Dir en grey! I started dancing the Russian "kalinka" to Reiketsu nariseba - it's a very hard dance but I managed, even though I drank Jägermeister. *gegege* And there were many songs from Versailles, at least I remember "Shout and bites" and "Zombie" which was right after Deg's "Machivellism". There was this block after mignight:
Nightmare - Raison d'etre Dir en grey - Machiavellism Versailles - Zombie Boom Boom Satellites - Easy Action I was out of breath so I had to go out a little.
I really enjoyed myself, even though my friend, Risa couldn't come. T_T Maybe next time, which will be on February 27. I can't wait.
Great thanks to Baldy who called a cab and my friends, Adri and Szilvi, and I had a comfortable ride halfway home. o(^▽^)o
In other news: My A KNOT OF DVD is in shipping process according to CDJapan
Also, today I went to the forum meet of Sound of Japan - I haven't been at one since September or was it August? Oh well. And I just realized how I missed these people, the like minded ones. When I was at home with my mother I enjoyed that too because I was able to relax a bit, but I missed talking to people who are into the same things as I am. I was wired to MSN or Yahoo! every night to keep in touch but nothing beats having an IRL conversation.
P.S.: My first entry in February and only 9 days to go till my birthday. I'm getting old again. *sigh*
