Live Reports

watching: huff
mood: tired

so yesterday was Penicillin's 15th anniversary live at Shibuya O-east, which, lucky as I am, Kayteanese agreed to accompany me to. Last week we came up with the thought of going as Godzilla and Winnie the Pooh and actually sticked to that. So I set the alarm clock for 2 p.m. so I had 1 1/2hrs to put on make-up and get going. Since I knew I was gonna look kinda strange as a 185 tall Pooh-san (as the Japanese call him) I tried to put on matching male-up, which turned out quite nice. I was at Kaytease house around 4, which would have been open doors time, but since we had like middle B tickets we didn't have to be there at 4 on the dot to begin with. Kazu was so nice to take a couple of pictures of us, before we left the house, peeing his pants laughing at us.

As soon as we left the house a bunch of children started screaming for Godzilla and Pooh-san, totally loving us, which normally never happens, since children most of the time are more in awe , when they see a strange foreigner than that they are happy. But Japanese seem to love ridiculous stuff like that. Honestly, which country could you go out dressed like that without people starting to rant at you randomly???
Kaytea was kinda worried if a cab would pic us up like that (neither of us really felt like going on the train in those outfits), but there was no problem at all, he even drove us right to the live house, which was really nice. We got into the live house and people were immediately like WTF when they saw us. Animal cosplay is not really common among penicillin fans, who are always trying to look the best they can to impress the band. But honestly, if there is one band you can take the piss out off dressing like that it is Penicillin. We made our way to the middle section of the live house (of course in Hakuei position!!!) and when Kaytea walked by some girl, the girl actually hit her (o__O) some fans can be a pain in the ass. There were some older women standing behind us, and because they were of course commenting our height, Kaytea turned around and told them, that if she was too tall they should tell her and she would move out of the way. They were so wowed that they actually commented that foreigners were really nice, which made up for Kayteas bad experience with the fan girl that hit her only a couple of seconds ago.
When the band came on we had our hoods up, but soon put them down again, because these costumes are fucking hot!!!
Hakuei looked hot (as always, actually no need to mention that) wearing his New Rock boots and the covers for his chins he always wears, black skirt, some fishnet top, a corset and a coat (at least in the beginning) Gisho was in ridiculous PVC wear (as always), O-Jiro was in one of his strange outfits and Chisato was in Nikky Sixx cosplay (as Kaytea told me, cuz I would have never noticed!)
They started the live with one of the songs I hate the most: 666 (most stupid lyrics ever written in Penicillin history - and they have quite a history when it comes to stupid lyrics) but it was fun anyway. They played a lot of old songs, which is really good, since I don't really listen to the new stuff. I had a lot of fun, dancing like an Odd ball (like one of my friends calls me) and joking around with Kaytea during the live. Never had so much fun at a Penicillin live.
As always Hakuei and Chisato were telling stories about their daily life, which is always very amusing, cuz they constantly make fun of themselves. Hakuei, for example, has become a Yahoo auction junky, hanging on his phone for 4 hrs getting sweaty hand and bad reviews, cuz he was doing something wrong. The T-shirt and sweater he got were smelling so bad and since they were hand wash only, he washed them by hand. But after he washed these cloths, they still smelled like shit, so he used a hole bottle of Febreeze to kill the smell. The way he is standing on stage, having that retarded grin on his face, telling a story like that is pure gold to me.
Another nice thing to know is that they are still whoring themselves and advertise their own shit on stage going like: I think this is very cute, please buy it. To show an example of the underwear they were selling, Hakuei lifted his skirt flashing his bright white underwear, which made me not only laugh really hard, but wonder where his balls went.
I have to admit that it was very obvious that the band was seeing Kaytea and me as well as we saw them, I can't blame them (^___^)
As one of the encores Hakuei and Chisato sang the Nano version of fuck *forgot the name of the song* whatever, not important, what is important that this song showed that Hakuei can actually sing! I mean really seriously sing and not in a goofy voice at all. He even developed a lot of lung power of the years having the mike on his lap singing. They had a little pause in the song and he couldn't help but smirk, which made me laugh a lot. He's so not able to take himself seriously.
What else happened, ohh yeah Hakuei was flashing his nipples, which made Kaytea and me laugh real hard (as like the only people in the audience - it must be shocking having a 185 tall Pooh-san and an equally tall Godzilla laughing at you), he pulled his corset up again immediately.
After the live we made our way outside really fast, I rushed to the goods table to buy the "parker" (a zipped hoody with short sleeves) in M size, cuz it fit Hakuei, so it will fit me ( I thought - and was right!) I hurried up to not leave Kaytea waiting.

After the live we went and took the best purikura ever (^___^) take a look and you will know what I am talking about.

After that we went to get some food at Pepper Lunch, another cab home and later on to McD, cuz Kazu hadn't eaten yet and we were still pretty hungry having worked out for 3hrs at the live dancing around (^_^)

It is very strange how people reacted on us, some tried really hard not to see us (and failed most of the time, even though people from Tokyo are good at that), some waved and said hello, calling out our names (the ones of the costumes) and some just smiled at us. While Pooh-san is more popular in Shibuya, Godzilla is the star of Harajuku.

On Friday I went to a live with Barbara and Jessica to see Mamono, a horror zombie rock band and was very pleased when we got there, cuz I found out that Schwarz lilie were gonna perform, too, and Rucid....well, I didn't know Rucid's music, I only knew what they looked like, cuz a friend of mine is a fan of them.

So Rucid was up first, they aren't a bad band, but just average oshare-kei. Pretty, yes, but that was about it, they didn't work for me.

Next up was Mamono, which supposedly spit blood and shit, so I was hiding behind my friends, cuz I was not only wearing pretty expensive cloths, but I also was supposed to go to an art show later that night (which got cancelled, but that's another story) and I didn't wanna look as if I just jumped in front of the Yamanote, which seems to be trendy lately, considering the fact that trains stopped running 3 times in the last 2 weeks because of that. Mamono are a fun live band, if you like horror rock, that is. The vocalist actually ate raw chicken on stage and spat parts of it into the audience, same thing with a huge salami (o____O) it was a lot of fun to watch though, I like bands which actually make the effort to do something with their audience, so did the guitarist, who is a huge Slayer fan. He was only wearing a t-bag (thong) and was quite well packed, if I may say so. He was shoving girls faces from the audience into his crotch and stuff like that, which made them giggle and pull away, always a delight to watch. He also showed off his naked ass a couple of times. Ahhh stuff like that is just plain funny, at least in that context. Japanese people just like to get naked in public, for whatever reason.

Last band on was Schwarz lilie, which I told you about before. Their performance was pretty much the same, still good, only the little magic parts seem to change from show to show and maybe from live house to live house, even though they play at maykan most of the time. Hayato actually got into the audience to head bang with the people (^___^) I love it when bands do stuff like that during their Indies times, cuz it just makes me laugh a lot.
Shiya saw us head banging in the back and actually keeping up with the para para, which made him wave us to the front, and after the second time him basically ordering us to the front, we obeyed and head banged along. They even gave an encore, as far as I remember, which they had never done before, but because it was only a three man live I guess it was okay.

When the live was over I actually bothered to buy the two Mamono CD's (^_^) we waited quite a while outside, watching Rucid packing their stuff and talked to the Mamono guys later on, but only like for two seconds, and only because I started to sing an old Sex Gang Children song and the guitarist started looking at me and laughed. We said goodbye to all of them, since it was way to cold to stick around much longer and wait for Schwarz lilie to come out, even though I would like to see Hi-na without make-up live once...whatever this sentence is fucked up, never mind (^_~)

I am so happy Barbara is here, cuz without here I would have never checked that Love or Dragon are Aikaryu without Uli (the drummer, who is still recovering from the car crash last summer) They did a mini Japan tour with a guy called Atsushi as support drummer. The boy did a good job!
I've never seen Maykan that packed (yeah...they played at the live house with the aircon from hell!!!) but since we were far in the back (there was no chance to get a seat) I was fine.
Uhhh when Daiki came on stage I was like uhhhh when I looked at his hips, that guy has the sexiest hips in Japan *dies* but he is fucking tanned! BOY, stop that...you are gonna die of skin cancer if you keep on making yourself look as if you were from Okinawa which he is not! And I have to admit, that he looks better in pictures, he just has this really square head, kinda strange, still sexy, don't get me wrong. Who surprised me by his looks was Kaworu, the lead vocalist. Now that he is back to black hair he looks fucking gooooooood *dies* He even did a little freestyle which was hilarious. Not kidding, he made me laugh out aloud!!! And I understood what he sang YAY. I was head banging soooooooooo much, and when I wasn't head banging I had that retarded smile on my face, being all like YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I saw you live...FINALLY (^___^)
Uli, the drummer, is on his best way to recover and Aikaryu are gonna be back very soon, I hope I have the chance to see them live again soon, with Uli....hopefully not having to go all the way to Nagoya *dies* but I actually would.

Danger Gang were up last. I wanted to see them for quite a while now, but I simply never wanted to go alone, not even to their free lives, so I was really happy that they played that evening, too. They are really good and Waka's Japanese is really understandable (^_^) She is really nice and very genki on stage, so is Thera (Bass) who is smiling aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the fucking time. While Hiko (Guitar) would totally fool me when it comes to gender questions. If she didn't have boobs in quite an obvious way I would totally hit on her, cuz she not only looks kinda like a guy, but she also behaves like one. And her voice is really low, too. I bet people ask her just as often as me whether she is a girl or a guy! Near to the end of their set Waka came into the audience and pulled people who were standing in the back to the front...including Barbara and me (^_^) She hugged me, too (O____O) but that was really cute! They even gave an encoru (^___^)

WhiteBalck performed, too...I remember that I wanted to go and see them for whatever reason anyway, so yay for that, but they didn't really blew me away. You know, sometimes there are really good bands out there, but they just don't work for me, Whiteblack is one of those. They are good, but somehow...the chemistry wasn't right.

The Skull Fuck Revolvers, or whatever they name was, had a Miyavi clone as Vocalist. I'm not kidding, he behaved and looked like Miyavi, just shorter and chubbier. He didn't sing, too...he just screamed into the mike and copied Miyavi's fake drumming from Pop is dead!!! The Japanese kids thought it was adorable, I thought it was shitty copy cat behavior and sat down, cuz I couldn't take it anymore! I only take back pain for bands who are worth it, and they clearly weren't! They might become one, if they actually get a fucking vocalist who has his own charms and doesn't copy the doubtful charms of somebody else!

what else was there....*thinks hard* Pistol three people, and they sucked, nothing more I can and am going to say about that. Gasoline, same thing.....like the rest of the bands (there were seven in total) Maybe not all of them sucked, but none of them where outstanding. I didn't even stand up for them, which show's you how lame they were.

after the live I bought two more Aikaryu singles and the new Danger Gang single. I had to buy this one, cuz Danger Gang were hard core advertising themselves! I'm not kidding, they were standing there in person screaming at the people that you should buy their stuff. Thera really is a hard core smiley person *laughs* No wonder she has so many fans (^_^)
Whiteblack was outside, too, talking to their fans and getting shitloads of presents, their fans really love them (o____O)
Skull Fuck Revolvers like to keep in touch with their fans, too, cuz they all came out and hung out with their fans for a while.

Barbara and me didn't hang for a lot longer, even though I would have loved for Aikaryu to come out, but hey, sometimes bands just take for fucking ever to come out and we were both hungry, since the live started at fucking 4 p.m. and ended like 9:30 p.m. so we headed for Shibuya to get something to eat, but then I finally reached Ritz because of the Pikapika show and left to Roppongi with her and Kalle.....but that is another story

Yesterday, which means January 8th, was Kagerou's last live. A friend of mine called me earlier that day and asked if I was going, none of us had tickets at that time, so I asked a Japanese friend of mine to call Zepp and find out wether or not there were still tickets available. I thought there were, cuz it didn't say sold out on any of the official homepages. So we gave it a chance. It took us about and hour from Yoyogi to Aomi, where Zepp is. When we arrived we looked for the ticket selling booth and lined up, it wasn't a huge line as expected, but when a couple of people started to leave the line before us the thought that it might be sold out crossed our mind, but it wasn't. Thank God!!! We went to get something to eat before we started to wait for our numbers to be called, but because we bought our tickets that day there was a little confusion. So we waited for the entry guy to nod at us, after we were sent back twice *dies*
Finally we got in, stuffed our things into the lockers and bummed our way into one of the front doors....how much do I love live houses with front doors? A fucking lot.
We only had to wait for like 20 minutes until the live started, which is good, cuz I hate standing around for a long time before a live starts, cuz my back starts hurting easily and stuff.
The stage setup was really nice, but I am sure you will see that in one of the J-Rock magazines. It had two huge banners hanging from the ceiling and a metal construction on the sides and as drum raiser, really cool.
was dressed in some totally torn and ripped purple and black sleeveless sweater, Shizumi was in black pants and white shirt with a bow tie! Daisuke was wearing one of his black suits, and so was Kazu, who turned blond again and actually didn't look like shit...they finally listened to me *laughs* whatever. Don't ask me for a set list, cuz you know I can't remember song titles for shit. The only one I know was Zetsubou no sayonara (or something like that *laughs) cuz it is my fav song, and they performed it. So that made me happy. There was a lot of crying going on when they started to sing the ballads and made the audience sing along, and no I didn't. I mean I loved Kagerou, but they were never that important to me, still I am really happy that I had the chance to see them one more time, because they really were an awesome live band.
But to be honest, it wasn't their best performance that I've seen from them, but that was pretty much to expect. They performed a lot of ballads, which of course kind of suited the occasion, but they also had some really nice rush songs, which made me happy and very bruised, cuz as always the Japanese kids started jumping into my back, but as long as they don't go elbow first, I am fine with that. And it was a lot of fun. Some eye contact was made with Daisuke YAY (^o^)
Strange thing was I would have thought that there would be some more emotion be going on stage, but they all were really calm (o___O) okay, the audiences emotion rose when Daisuke decided to do some fan service with Yuana...yeah, they were kissing, that's what I am talking about.
Daisuke of course gave a little speech how much fun they have had as a band performing for their fans up until that day and thanked their fans for that, but apart from that, not much was said. Even after performing the last song Daisuke just left the stage...not waiving bye bye, no dramatic good bye scenes or stuff like that, it was very plain and simple. I kinda liked it that way. We left the room immediately and rushed to the bar to get something to drink, being completely dehydrated. Got our stuff and went outside to buy Kagerou merch for the last time. It didn't feel as strange as I would have expected it to feel, but I was willing to spend way more money than I would have normally done, but since this was a once in a lifetime thing, or more last in my lifetime thing, I guess it was okay.
Outside there were flower arrangements sent in by Mucc, Despairs Ray (who also made their appearance at the live, a friend of mine thought she saw Dir en grey, too....for me it was just white dots on a balcony *laughs*) Even Ayumi Hamasaki sent flowers (o___O) weird shit man.
We left Zepp fairly quickly and made our way home, back to Shibuya. But being all hyper from the live we decided on getting something to eat first and then head to all night Karaoke. Said and done.

Nothing really outstanding happened at the live. It was more or less a standard live by Kagerou, in the beginning it kind of reminded me off the first Dir en grey live in Germany, cuz they had to put the live on pause to drag some completely exhausted girl out of the audience. Security is way to polite in Japan, which is the reason why it took them ages to get her out. In Germany they would have simply pushed everybody else aside to get to her....in Japan they tried to politely make their way through. Throughout the live security kept on walking through the audience and in between song breaks they checked the audience out with little flashlight to make sure that everything was okay *laughs* Very polite, as I said.
Performance wise, of course at some part Daisuke started to "jerk off" on stage and put a water bottle in his pants, spat water into the audience and stage dived...I think about three times or something like that, so it really was more or less a standard performance and didn't really feel like a last live, but well....I still am happy I had the chance to be there.

Thanks to Kagerou I had a lot of fun at their lives.

There is one more thing, that was utterly wrong at the live....my friend Tai was missing (T_T)

So Wednesday was the AFI live at liquidroom. I met up with Chris at the Takeshita Doori Eki and we went to liquidroom, where I found out that Mucc were support act which made me really happy, because I wanted to see Mucc live again anyway, so two really good bands when I expected only one = happy little aki
Since Chris had an early hundred ticked and mine was mid 200 we weren't exactly front row, but fairly near to the front. Since it was my first American Rock show I was wandering what the audience would be like, and I expected the worst, and pretty much got the worst. Drunk American GI's with no brains but tall, dumb and drunk...what a combination. They were pissing off staff even before Mucc began to play!!!! People like that give foreigners in Japan a bad name......Especially the Americans, which is the reason why I turned to Chris and said...if anybody asks.. YOU ARE CANDADIAN *ggg* which a lot of American people with brains do nowerdays anyway. So yeah...they were a nerve wracking bunch. When Mucc came on me and approx. 6 other people out of let's say 800 were cheering, but us six did a good job supporting them (^_^) and Mucc still seemed to enjoy themselves pretty much and pulled of a good show. Since I haven't listened to a lot of Mucc lately it was simply a lot of headbangning for me, which is never a bad thing. While Tatsurou wanted to speak one of the very drunk probably American Foreigners started shouting that he was disappointed and that he thought he was going to see a Rock band and stuff. I so wanted to punch that guy out. Things like....Misbehavior like that really makes me ANGRY, cuz Tatsurou might have understood that insult and that made me feel really bad.
During the brake they tried to set up something like a stage for AFI but it was only their logo and stuff...pretty boring, nothing special at all. But when Davey Havoc came on stage and started to sing...the magic worked (^_^) Christ, that guy has an unbelievable stage presence, he sucks you right in and you can't let go of him. Not that the other members were just standing around doing nothing, they were putting on a really good show, still Davey Havoc is something special. With his glitter make-up.....whey is everybody stealing my make-up ideas?????....and that thing he has going on with the mike cable. He kinda winds up in it and stuff, really wicked, sometimes you wonder if he's going to strangle himself with that thing (^_~) My friend Tai told me about the live in Munich she went to and that Davey had walked on the audience, and I was wandering if he was going to do that in Japan, too....and yes, he did. This is something really amazing to see, cuz it's very different from the usual stage diving (^_^) then he just sat in the masses and sang to the back rows, which was really awesome, because by then Chris and I were standing just in front of the first roll bar, cuz the mosh pit was a bit violent for my taste and all the crowd surfing is a pain in the ass when you are at least 15 cm taller than everybody else. Besides that...I don't really like violent mosh pits even though it is fun to watch, but we had fun "back there" too, so nothing to worry about.
The live was good, but really short. AFI played only for an hour, which was pretty disappointing, but I am happy that I had the chance to see them live and actually would love to see them live again. They are good (^___^) and they played all of my fav songs...even a The Cure cover (I forgot the name of the song...again......you can't blame me....names just don't stick with me)
Totally dehydrated we made our way to the Eki again and went home. Ahhh what a live (^_^)

watching: something
mood: tired

ahh well, I guess you guys figured by now that I was really busy the last couple of days, which is my excuse for the delay of my live reports, sorry about that, but I'm catching up on that right away.
Let's start with the Sugar / emmuree two man I went to last Friday. I went for emmuree, cuz I wanted to see them live ever since I heard one of their songs and I was kinda curious about Sugar, too, so this two man was perfect (^_^)
emmuree were on first and since they are not a visual but a goth band there was not too much head banging going on, which means I had plenty of time to watch the band having fun on stage. Btw. it took place at Takadanobaba's Area. There were actually a lot of guys at the live, which I think came to see emmuree, since Sugar doesn't really seem like a guy attracting band.
Anyhow, I loved everything performed by emmuree. All their songs, the interacting on stage, the gothy dramatic acting. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I normally don't like really dramatic acting on stage, but Sou (or Shou??) I'm not sure about the reading of his name, doesn't make his dramaticness look ridiculous, cuz he doesn't overdo it. I actually filled out their anketto and handed it in, telling them that they should go and play in Germany, not only cuz the guitarist wrote "Ich toete alle" into the booklet. I think they would fit in pretty well in the WGT bands. Which can be a compliment, if you talk about bands like The Mission. I spent over 1man yen for CD's that night...only the ones emmuree had out. Their stuff is so hard to find in stores, I just couldn't let that chance pass by.

Sugar were fun to watch, too. Even though I had to laugh a couple of times, because Sugar's vocalist moves like a moulin rouge whore on drugs, when he is on stage. He rolls his hips in front of his fans and stuff like that. Christ I was cracking down with laughter. He was wearing a cat suit which kept on coming down between his legs, cuz it was too big for him. Girls know what I mean, when tights come down between your legs, cuz they ain't long enough, but his were see through, so you actually noticed it a lot more. They did a good performance though, the members interacted on stage and stuff, the vocalist was enjoying himself a lot, which is always good and the fans had a lot of fun, too.

When they left the stage the encoru chants began, of course they did, and all the emmuree members showed up except Sou, but with Sugar's vocalist and did an encoru. The same thing happened the other way round and the very last song was performed by both vocalists. I think that is the right ending for a coupling tour and whish that Kagerou and Despairs Ray would have done it the same way when they had their coupling tour. But hey...can't have everything.
There is special coupling CD, too, which I, of course, had to have, too.

So much for the emmuree/sugar live. I really enjoyed myself and am going to see emmuree in December again. Uhh and yeah...I was the only foreigner at that live (^___^)

@moni, sorry I got you worried, I was just really busy having lots of fun!!!!

Sorry for posting this late, but please go see their shows (^_^) they rock!

So yesterday was the Halloween live at Club Citta in Kawasaki. Since I've never been to Kawasaki before and open doors was at 16:00 I went kinda dressed up to school, which made everybody going like (o____O) After school I grabbed lunch with my boys again and went off to Kawasaki.
I changed train at Shinagawa station and took the rapid train. I kinda was lost when I arrived in Kawasaki, so I just searched for a map on the Internet...how much do I love mobiles with Internet...a lot!!! Showed the map to a lady and she gave me directions. Very good, found it right away and saw the Kuronoeko girls who waved me over, so I joined them.
First one up was 2nd effect, Motokis band and my reason why I came to Kawasaki. It was really strange to see him on stage, but really cool, too. They should play live more often to get more fans, because they totally would be able to do so. It wasn't the first time I've seen a friend on stage, but it was the first time I saw a friend on such a big stage. It was really cool and I hope I will have the chance to see them live again next year.
We left the front section after 2nd effect to settle in the back, where tables were and kuroneko actually had a stand there selling out cocktails, which was neat.
I don't really remember who was next, but I think it was arc followed by dollis merry, but I don't really know, cuz I don't really know these bands. I'm not into them and since their live performance didn't give me the...awww wanna see them again kinda feeling I'm not gonna bother to find out. That was about the time when the staff girl for Candy Spooky Theater came running over to me and was like, you bought CD's at yesterday's live, right...me NODD NODD, she handed me over a poster and apologized for forgetting to give it to me yesterday (o____O) in Germany, NOBODY would have bothered to do that!!!! That's one of the reasons why I love Japan.
Candy Sooky Theater are even better on a bigger stage, cuz their whole stage setup looks way better when they have room for the giant black umbrella, the candles and all that stuff. It was a great performance and they actually were able to make the crowd move and stuff. I loved to see them live again and am looking forward to the next time. This band totally has my support.
The session band was cool, too. The left hand guitarist was a beauty, but I have no clue which band he was from. I wasn't even able to figure out which one was from Phantasmagoria, not kidding!!!! Ahh well but the vocalist was awesome, he made chills running down my spine when he performed the entry part to Kurenai. YEAH they played Kurenai...it was so cool to see that song being performed once. It was really sad though, too.
I think next was Rentrer en Soi which I was looking forward to see, too, cuz they have this whole new concept going on. They are really really dark now, rough fast music, no whining anymore. YAY for that and their left hand guitarist, shun, really pulls it of in his coat. It was a fairly short performance though, only like three songs and it seemed as if they were in a rush, too. But it was great to see them live, cuz they rock. I wanna see them in a one man when the whole room supports them, it would be awesome for that band.
Last, of course, was Larien, but since Kamijo is such an over dramatic guy, he overdoes is so much, you know that he isn't taking himself serious at all, which is cool again. Muahaha he tried to speak English and failed getting it right, so a friend of mine and me just bursted out in laughter, cuz it was just great comedy. Ahhh yeah...today is October thirtyone (^___^) so cute. I mean Kamijo looks really good, and I like his voice, but Lareine is more something for the quiet hours of the day or when you are hugging your boyfriend, which made me dose off and dream about better times (love wise).
After the live the Kuroneko girls and me left for the JR station in Kawasaki split up, cuz we were going to different locations so I went with Akiko-chan who is working around the corner of my apartment and living around the corner of my school (^__^) funny coincidence.
So much for the live.

mood: still tired

So Monday was Schwarz lilie and Candy Spooky Theater due at the live house of the evil Airconditioning...yeah, ROCK MayKan. I still went, of course I did. The live started for whatever reason late though. I'm not going to mention the other bands, cuz straight forward said..they were boring. The only one that didn't fit in was kinda Dead Maria who have a female vocalist who isn't willing to move to her own music, good voice though, but they are much more goth rock than visual. You will probably find some information on the visunavi.
Schwarz lilie was second last and they were a lot of fun, as they always are. I even participated, so it was more like a sport (^_^)
Hayato, the vocalist, brushed his teeth on stage again and performed some magic tricks, which was a lot of fun to watch. They are a pretty cool crew. Hi-Na, the guitarist wore his Penis Fly Trap T-shirt again, if he actually listens to them, he has a good taste in music. I really like their all horror fun performance a lot, cuz it actually gives you a break from all these boring performances out there. There are so many bands who look alike and sound alike, it's making me sick, so bands like Schwarz lilie and Candy Spooky Theater are standing out a lot.
Candy Spooky Theater are the perfect Helloween band, cuz they really have a theme going on there. Music, stage and performance wise. Only three people, but the bassist Peggy actually plays a stand up base, which is really cool, at least I think so (^_^) And Zull (the guitarist) Is a beauty when it comes to makeup. Wahh that guy looks so pretty with makeup and his page has some really bad German on it *GGG* it's cute (^_^) Anyway, I bought all of their CD's (there are only three) and two photo sets, cuz they are really well designed ones. A pack of buttons and a poster comes with the CD's but they forgot to give me the poster which I found out yesterday, but that story comes in the next entry.
So much for that live.

watching: vmc
mood: better

I was in a really bad mood the last two days and here comes the reason. I went to ROCK maykan to see my friend Dyura on stage with her band diabolica. Well of course seeing her live didn't get me into a bad mood. It was a really cool thing to see her on stage, cuz I always get excited when I see friends on stage. When I arrived at Rock maykan I was pretty surprised when the guy wanted money from me, cuz the original plan had been that she made me a guest so I wouldn't have to pay at all, but something went wrong, so I was like, okay, whatever and pays the 2500 to get in. After the live it turned out that they really made a mistake and that Dyura insists on giving me the money back.
They were up first. They actually play a really fast gothic metal type, too bad that they have use a drum machine, cuz they haven't found a drummer yet. If you like Cradle of Filth you will like diabolica, too. I love their singles "diabolic phenomenon" and "lucifer's illuminaty". She's a pretty good growler (^_^). It was pretty exciting seeing her all dressed and made up (^_^) she has this ultra long hair and I was always fearing that it might get wrapped around the guitar strings, but nothing like that happened (^_^) Too bad that they had only one person supporting them (T_T) they need more fans.
When they left the stage I basically sat a round and waited for Dyura to come upstairs (backstage is downstairs at ROCK maykan) watched two more bands, which weren't my kinda thing at all, when Dyura finally came upstairs to say hello. We chitchatted a bit, she introduced me to her fellow band member, who looks very different without makeup (o___O) I gave her the German sweets which I had bought for her shortly before the live at Shibuya Garden Supermarket and then left, cuz I still had to write my speech about Germany for Friday.
By then my right eye was already giving me a hard time. Yeah everyone, who ever has been to ROCK maykan, knows that their aircon is a killer. Even in summer I'd advice you to bring along a sweater. Well, I didn't freeze to death, but the aircon gave me conjunctivitis (when you eye gets really red and scratchy) which is a real pain in the ass, cuz you can't see and you can't close your eyes either, cuz that is a nerve wracking feeling, too. Therefore I hate Rock maykan with a passion now.
This actually fucks up all my make-up plans for the weekend, cuz now I have to wear glasses.
