On Tuesday I saw X Japan Live in London.
I had to get up at 4am since we were driving there, we drove home after the show too and got home at 4am. For X Japan I was not stopping for 24 hours.

It can't be embedded but here is a short news report of the show and an interview with the band leader Yoshiki.

and here are the ones me and my friends took ^^


We made an X with the Japanese style biscuits ^^
This is my friend Kay and me, it's really fun going with my best friend she brought all of her clothes to my house and we decided our outfits together and shared our clothes ^^
she was not familiar with X Japan but I asked her to come with me anyway, now X Japan is her favorite band and she loved the show so much after the show she bought another T-shirt. So she has 2 :P



This is my friend Kay again, I did her makeup so it matched mine :P




Lets play where's Hana!



The venue staff were giving out packets of sweets, the sweets were in the shapes of musical instruments and amps. The drumsticks were crossed over so they looked like an X so I collected them from everyone :P A group of Japanese girls I made friends with got really excited and were taking pictures of my jelly X collection :P



WE ARE X!
I have never seen such a random collection of people at any gig before. X Japan began in 1982, so there were fans of all ages, boys and girls and many different tastes in fashion too!
The Japanese girls had come all the way from Japan just for this show, because in Japan, X play for 50,000 people but in London it was a show for only 2000.

London was the first show of the Europe tour, they have some more shows in Europe and then they are doing some shows in Japan before starting a tour in America ( Can't remember if it's north or south)

So if you get the chance you have to go and see these guys live ! Get the tickets before they sell out ^^

Thankyou
Hana
