Went to Ayabie's live yesterday at the Tivoli.
The band was good. It's very cute to see them interact with each other and with the audience. When they just started, only Aoi (vocals) was very active, but after a while, Intetsu (bass), Takehito (guitar) and Yumehito (guitar) were following Aoi's lead. Takehito was more subdued, but that's okay. We forgive him because he seemed to be enjoying himself regardless :p.
I always feel sorry for drummers because they are walled in behind their drums, but there was a drum solo from Kenzo while the rest of the band changed clothes. He made the audience yell and clap during this and it was very entertaining. He's got the hang of being a showman!
Lessee, music wise! I heard Virgin Snow Color before I went to the concert, but I wasn't very much blown away by it. It wasn't really to my taste. But they were much better live.
Lessee, observations:
- There was a decent enough crowd to fill 6 to 7 seven rows in the room
- I really liked Kenzo's drumsolo ^^
- The whole deal of calling for an encore was abysmal. People didn't put a lot of energy in calling for an encore :(. As Simone Manita put it: 'I'd quit as a band if my audience was that mellow ToT/!'
- It was supercute when Aoi tried to speak Dutch (I'm betting he had a cheatsheet stickytacked to the floor :p)
- Aoi likes to make people jump... I can imagine him being a fitness instructor... o_o;
- The bandmember introduction was fun. They kept saying 'I love you' to each other and the audience XD
- Kenzo: Hello!
Audience: HELLO!!!!!
Kenzo: ... HELLO!
Audience: HEEEELLLOOOOOO!!!!!!
Kenzo: ... Uhm, hi :3.
