Well, I am certainly disappointed by the responses concerning D'espairsRay lives, but I should have expected it considering they have a bunch of retards for fans lol. I knew Jrock fans were bad, but NYC had the rudest crowd on earth. I don't think I've seen a single thing said about their actual set other than what they looked like or what someone got to touch. Get over your freakin' selves already and stop bragging about how you got to feel their genitals. I understand this is probably the closest thing to a penis you have touched before, but seriously! You could tell me which side of Hizumi's pants he puts his dick in and not what their set list was.
On that note, they put on a spectacular show, much better than SugoiCon. Although there were some songs I wished they had played. They were so much happier this time around (and I have a pretty good idea why haha). The guys were actually smiling on stage and moved around a whole lot. Karyu came up to the front instead of standing there like a mannequin. They interacted with the fans a lot. There was so much energy and they seemed so excited to play the new song (which I love, by the way). It may be more upbeat or "happier" than what you are used to, and don't get me wrong, I love D'espa's harder stuff, but there was something about the beat of it and the way Hizumi danced to it that got me hooked. The cracked mirror Hizumi had was really cool. Especially him being blonde and wearing all white, the light reflecting off of the glass, he looked like an angel. I'm leaving out any personal interactions this time.
I don't see why them wearing all white is such a big deal, or Hizumi going blonde (he was blonde before). He said he needed a change. I don't think it looks bad on him either, especially without makeup. The only bad part is his hair is fried now and feels like hay haha. I thought their costumes were really cool, and their hair and makeup looked really good (well, I didn't care so much for Zero's costume). I love Karyu's haircut and Tsukasa's highlights. I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this, but I hated Zero's braids, so I love his hair now. Okay, that was for the fans who only want to hear about how they looked. For the fans of their music here is their set list...
