This comes after a while of not uploading I do believe. I really need to get better at updating this thing lol.
First off, yesterday, I saw Miyavi in concert at the Liquidroom. So freaking awesome! I’ve never been so amazed by an artist that I’m actually not that fond of. Tyesha’s a big fan though and it was her first concert so it was a lot of fun- and I was especially happy that it was a general admission concert (aka- standing room only) instead of one with seats- which I’m sure that the Tokyo Dome will be. Miyavi put a lot of energy into the whole setlist- even stating that he was tired about half-way through (“Tsukareru~~” XD <3). The whole concert started so fast that it was almost dreamlike to watch him onstage, singing and playing guitar. And dear god did he PLAY GUITAR. I dare risk it to say that he’s one of the best guitar players in the world. His style is sooo original but it’s so awesome at the same time. It’s truly amazing to watch him play and I have to say- for me- that was one of the best experiences of the night. I fell in love with his song Gravity though as it was played live- just Miyavi and the guitar with touches of Bobo on drums. So beautiful and almost painfully heartbreaking. I found myself swaying with the beat and being completely entranced by this one song. The whole concert just kind of swept me away and didn’t bring me back- my entire body aches and my throat’s killing me from screaming so much. I especially loved the whole call and response with “What’s my/his name?” It was so great to have so much fun at a concert. Especially when he decided to wander over (mind you it’s JUST Miyavi and the drummer on-stage) and lay all over Bobo- making sure his hair was annoying the hell out of the man (it’s long and under a black hat- still awesome though) or when he started going “What’s his name?” while gesturing at Bobo. Be aware that I didn’t know this man’s name up until the audience screamed “Bobo!”. Shortly afterwards was Miyavi calling “What’s my name?” “What’s my fucking name?” and having so much fun with it. He seemed like he enjoyed calling that out in English way too much- especially the “fucking” in the middle of it. It made me laugh because I was sure that not too many people in the audience understand this term or what it means to the full extent like Tyesha and I do- since we’re from America.
On another note- as of this moment- I have a FREE live that I’m attending at the Tokyo Dome by Luna Sea (or as they’ll be called at this concert “Lunacy”… same band tho). I’m also not a big Luna Sea fan but I couldn’t resist seeing Sugizo in person and also may I mention again… it’s FREE!!!! FREE PEOPLE!!!... I think there’s a drink fee but that’s it. That’s a (excuse me) hell of a lot cheaper than any ticket price you can give me (which usually has a drink fee anyways). I’m only hoping that they play a few of my favorite songs- such as Tonight and Storm. Either way- I’m sure I’ll walk away satisfied because it’s a major band that I’m seeing for free. Oh! And it’s a Kurofuku live. Kurofuku means EXACTLY what it says lol one must wear BLACK clothing to the live. I have JUST the outfit planned out. <3
Lastly- the GazettE Tokyo Dome concert is the day after Luna Sea’s free live. I’m going to be SO freaking exhausted that I’m worried about how I’ll be at this concert. I plan on eating lots of salty things and drinking LOTS of water. I will buy a big thing of water to drink after the Luna Sea concert and bring throat lozenges as well for my poor throat that’s still recovering from Miyavi. I’m even more excited for GazettE though as they’re one of my favorite bands. I really want to hear Guren live- or Nakigahara- or Leech- or… I give up- I’d love to just see them- and I’m getting my wish.
Only one other band-related wish to be granted and I will MAKE that one happen. I swear I will see L’arc~en~Ciel live in-concert. Not VAMPS, not Tetsuya, not Ken, not Acid Android. I wish to see the four as a unit onstage- as Laruku. I love this band so much- and I love all the solo projects but they aren’t the same as seeing Hyde, Tetsuya, Ken, and Yukihiro on-stage together. I can’t wait to see if they’re going to put tour dates up soon. I’m really hoping that they do. I want to see them so much. Their first live is a fanclub only and I couldn’t afford to join the fanclub and THEN the live for the ticket. I wish to see them so much though- they’re my absolute favorite band.
Ah~~ enough doting on my bands and lives XD I’m doing good otherwise though- save for the exhaustion from the concert yesterday lol. It’ll go away eventually- hopefully long before Luna Sea and GazettE though. I don’t know why everything has to happen in December.
Anyways! It’ll be a GREAT month. I’ll probably update next after Luna Sea and the GazettE have rocked my brain from its skull. I’ll be on break by then lol.
