I really want to go to a lot of lives in Tokyo. Like Luzmelt, the fool, SID... But SID will be quite impossible I think... (wry smile). But, I like the shows of Indie-bands better anyway ^^ I wonder how the Japanese lives will be~
I was going to write about Miyavi's concert but I got too busy~ ^^; English people staying in my room =w= I miss them though! It was great fun ^^
So, I might still write a report for Miyavi! And for -OZ-, and... yeah. ww
But now it's time for Orochi's concert of last thursday! ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ
It was SO MUCH FUN. >w<
Ilse and I first went to classes before arriving in Amsterdam around 12.30, but it was only 3 people waiting so far! So we sat there in the Warmoesstraat and chilled~
After a while Margot, Giz, Tara, Michelle and her friend Glen arrived too and we had a lot more retarded fun =w= thanks for finally sharing the ParadeiS furitsuke with us, Margot and Giz!! (°∀°)b
We also did TechPara and Yosakoi dance in the street, yay. x3
Since Ilse and I wore our Yukata, a lot of people stared and took pictures~ Kind of fun (ww). Hoshiko was in wa-Lolita dress.
I really like this picture! We all look great in it! о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
And so we waited for the band to arrive~ and they finally did at 6.30 PM. .o. They broke Anli Pollicino's late record! What kind of legends are they? 8D ww. They looked pretty stressed, poor guys. But we were happy they were there =w=
When the doors opened, there were some problems with our Kohaku tickets but luckily those were solved ^^; I stood first row on the right, before Yukimura. The others were all next to me :3
Say hi to the camera!
And so we waited again~ Before suddenly Yukimura came to the stage unannounced (ww). It took a second before everyone noticed, then the screaming started. There were only about 50 people there though. Too bad, it means a lot of people missed a great show!
It was true I did not expect much of it either, for Ushiwaka's vocals take some getting used to... but live, they sounded so much better than on CD! Plus, they made a very entertaining performance. Ushiwaka's flute-playing, the intro in Ancient Japanese, and their costumes; they knew how to capture our attention, and they certainly kept everyone under their spell!
There was so much furitsuke, I loved it~ =w= Several people used fans, like Ilse and me. There was also a lot of jumping and headbanging! My neck still hurts (ww). One of my favorite parts was when Ushiwaka, Mitsuhide and Yukimura held a sword-fight against eachother >w< Poor Yukimura went down first... but kept playing guitar on his back. xD Then Ushiwaka defeated heroic Mitsuhide... who plopped down before us. They lied on the stage for a while until leader-sama Ushiwaka bit at them to 'get up T_T'. wwww
Mitsuhide also taught us how to jump, and nearly hit the low ceiling ^^; then Yukimura taught us how to headbang. He needed to hear me call him 'kakkoi' twice. WWW He has such a soft voice when he talks... ('Everyone, follow me... Punchie! Punch - Punchie? Okay... Touch - *bokses the crowd xD* ... okay no touch!'' ) but he sure can grunt. 8D
We also fought invisible demons, reached for the sky ('well no sky here but - touch it!' - Ushiwaka), and got covered in Yukimura's magic sparkles. =w= Genji-Hotaru did an awesome drum-solo for a part of the encore! And Yukimura rowed us up some more before Mitsuhide and Ushiwaka came back, Ushiwaka carrying Yukimura's guitar (which looked really weird somehow). Yukimura tried to hide the microphone under his top, but one heated glare from Leader-Sama was enough to make him behave... www
After the show there was a signing session~ They had really cute merchandise too! I bought a T-shirt and a photo-set to get it signed. I loved the buttons, but they were quite expensive >.< When they walked into the hall, it was obvious how small they were :') but they were nice and I thanked them for the show as they signed my photo's.
One last funny moment was when Mitsuhide and Genji-Hotaru were playing with the markers from the signing XD. The girl who organised the session gestured for them to hand the markers back, but somehow Mitsuhide did not want to. Then she pulled the marker from his hand and he made a face like this: （ｉДｉ）!! He looked really shocked wwww and Genji-Hotaru was only laughing XDD
Too bad they left immediately after that, I had hoped to take a picture with them ;__; oh well~
