I just got back from the concert. It was fun and exciting!
I was a bit nervous since it was the first live I've been to, but everything went well. There were a lot of people there. I didn't see any psycho fangirls (doesn't mean there weren't any though...) which was relieving.
Well, there was one lady there who had to be at least in her late 50s, jumping up and down screaming "ZERO! ZERO! ZEROOOOOO! " over and over again.
There was no opening band, and the whole thing lasted about 2 1/2 hours. I can't remember the names of everything they played, only that most of the songs were from Coll:set and Born, and one new song. My sister and I were not very close to the stage, but close enough to see things in detail and far away enough to see all the band members clearly. We were on Zero's side, the left.
Karyu, Zero, and Tsukasa were the first to come out on stage. They started playing some music, and then it got dark, and Hizumi appeared on stage. Hizumi didn't talk much during the show, just to introduce their new song and another time to talk a bit about their tour in Europe. Karyu and Zero switched sides a few times during the show. Hizumi was wearing dark pants and a black jacket with no shirt, and a few songs in he got rid of the jacket. I can't remember what any of the others were wearing except that it was black. Oh, and at one point Karyu wore some big hat.
The lighting was really good, and I felt it fit the mood of each song. The yokohama blitz is pretty big, and changed the lighting effects a lot. I'm only a beginner at guitar and know nothing about bass and drums, so I'm in no position to critique their skills. I thought they sounded really good though.
My sister isn't a fan of the band, or rock music in general. I guess she only came for the experience, or because I promised to take her to see a movie this week. XD She did say "That guy on our side with the cool hair" (Zero) was hot, and was the only thing that kept her from leaving and dragging me with her.
I didn't see this, but she also said that at one point in the show, Hizumi fell into the crowd (how could someone NOT notice a person falling into the crowd, where was my mind? XD), and some guy came rushing out from backstage to help him, and as he was being pulled up, some girl grabbed his butt. Leave it to my sister to pay extra attention to something like that...
At the end of the show, the band did two encores, and Karyu and Zero threw their picks out into the audience, and Tsukasa threw his drumsticks. They all tossed water bottles into the crowd. Hizumi shook the water from his water bottle onto the people near his part of the stage, and Zero took great pleasure in spitting water all over the fans. I've never before seen people so happy to have water spit on them. XD
We didn't buy any merchandise or get autographs (the band was nowhere in sight, anyway), but that's fine with me. I would definately go see them again. Much of the night is a bit of a blur in my mind, so I'm trying to remember as much I can as best I can. I hope this is okay.
