{Dir en grey INWARD SCREAM TOUR07} Minniapolis, Minnesota [February 14th] - part 2/3
The Concert
Bleed the Dream, Fair to Midland, Dir en grey
Bleed the Dream kicked off the night with their stuff, and I actually really enjoyed their music. I had heard of them beforehand and had liked them, but in concert they were much much better. I loved it, honestly. The emo in me got a good show, that's for sure.
By this time, I had been pushed to about second or third row and my view was slowly being taken away from me. I was getting really upset - I was here to see Dir en grey, not the backs of people's heads for Christ's sake. I was beginning to regret letting that one girl slide infront of me.
Fair to Midland ... sucked. The guitarist actually apologized for having two more songs to play. I'm not even gonna begin to complain about them. Hey, vocalist dude? You aint Kyo, stop drooling and seizuring. You suck. The End.
When Fair to Midland got off stage, everyone began to push and somehow I was put in to first row. I was very, very happy about this. One little Asian girl behind me asked if she could get infront, but I said no - fuck you, I'm seeing this damn band and I don't care about if you can see or not. She got pissed. Oh well. You're a moron and didn't get there first. I did. Ha fucking ha. I was getting really antsy and people were pushing really hard - the guy that I had pushed out of a spot was beside me and I apologized. He smiled and said it was okay, he didn't mind. I got a few apologies from people behind me who were literally humping me, but it's expected in a concert pit.
The roadies were making sure everything was in order, and when Shinya's drum set was revealed everyone began to shout and scream. I remember Nora bringing out Kyo's bucket and these fangirls behind me were screaming like whoa, and yelling out things like "Kyo wa kawaii desu!" and such. No. He's not cute - in my humble opinion he is beautiful, especially his eyes, but whatever. They seemed to have fun screaming random simple phrases out to roadies xD I was beginning to shake - it was almost time for them to come on stage ...
Lights dim, G.D.S begins ... they come on stage ... I have perfect view of Die, Shinya and Kyo, Totchi and Kaoru were on the other side of the stage, I could see them but not very well. They began to play, I'm not sure what songs to what order, I was too busy clinging on to the barrier and head banging. So, I'll steal the song list that Kelly has off of her journal. I remember Aggitated Screams of Maggots was played near the beginning as well.

I had somehow been pushed over and forwards during the concert, and had been pushed past the barrier and right infront of the security guy. He did nothing though, so I was quite happy with my spot. Half a ruler length away from Die? Yes, please.
I can't remember when during the concert, but at one point Die leaned right over to the spot where I was and put his boot on the speaker. I immediatly grabbed for it and stroked it xD I stroked it good, yo. And that's when I began to cry - I mean, it's one thing to see them on stage, it's another to touch them while they are on stage. It hit me hard that this was actually happening, and I cried. While Die was leaning over and totally playing us, he caught sight of me and his 1000 watts smile broke right out. While he was staring at me. I was so happy that I had gotten his attention, but when he kept coming back to look at me I began to wonder why. Why was Die, who had lots of eye candy laid out in front of him, keep diverting his attention to me? I then suddenly tuned back in to my body and felt people's hands all over my shoulders - what the hell, why aren't they grabbing clothes? I look down and realize ... the girls were trying to see the show too.
My shirt and tanktop had been pulled quite a length down my shoulders and because I have a shitty bra and I was jumping and all, my chest was escaping my shirt. The mystery of Die's amusement had been solved, to my complete embarrasment.
So, take note girls. To get Die's attention, let your boobs escape your bra --; I really hope that the guy who was recording the show didn't get that, and if he did, that my chest doesn't get put on a DVD --; If he got it on tape I only hope that they laugh over it. If they do anything else with it I'll cry with embarrasment. If Die has to wank over something, he better wank over that porn Kelly gave Kyo --;
Security began to squirt little amounts of water over the crowd - I didn't get much then, and I really wanted some because of how hot it was. Die eventually grabbed his water bottle and literally dumped it on the people in front of him - AKA me. I got it all down my front. It felt so good - I was covered in sexy xD The water was appreciated though, it felt really good. And Die dumping it on me made it all the more better.
I can't believe how beautiful Kyo's eyes were. How wide he could make them, how beautiful the colour is ... all of them looked so beautiful. It blows my mind how amazing the concert was. It didn't last as long as I wanted it to, when it finished it was like ... wow. No. You can't be over!
Shinya chucked out his Shinya sticks and Die threw picks - he was actually handing them out to people at one point but missed my hand entirely. Bitch - I SHOWED YOU MY CHEST accidently xD I think I deserved a friggin pick. Kyleigh picked one off of the floor, we all squee'd with her xDD
After the show we ran over to the merch table and I got both tshirts and a poster. I then went outside to meet up with Kelly and I had a little breakdown. I saw Dir en grey. I saw Dir en grey.
HOLY FUCK I SAW DIR EN GREY. It still hits me, and hits me hard.
I didn't go with Kelly to talk with Harry, she disappeared too fast so I went with Reichu, Jason and Ron. I was so happy, my night couldn't get any better.
But it did. And you get to read about that ... when I finish my last part of the report xDD I'm so evil.
