Dir en grey @ KBS Hall, 9/28/08
Tonight was Dir en grey in Kyoto with xelyna, hotarubi, and fourscrewsloose (new to me :D).
Wow, is all I can say. Just wow. Um. My brain is broken.

CLEVER SLEAZOID
Starting with a set like that-- GDS, which everyone was wild over, and then going into Rasetsukoku. Amazing. And IIID Empire! LOVE!
We planned to just enjoy the space in the back and rock out but somehow ended up in the crush... as always! It's Shinya's magnetism, I swear.
Speaking of Shinya, of course it was perfect, superb, incredible. I think that Ryoujoku has become one of my favourite live songs for no reason other than the movements he makes when dancing from cymbal to cymbal are so graceful that you have to wonder if he's human (not that you don't have to wonder anyway). Somehow he reminds me of a butterfly... When he was pitching his drumheads into the audience he had the biggest, most adorable grin on his face. I love to see him happy. It makes my heart feel warm.
MEGAHAGE Toshiya's hair is... interesting. It appears to be shaved into like, a circle? Or semicircle? it's flat on one side and curved on the other. Also, he somehow managed to take off his shirt when it was under a vest, but keep the vest on. I am not sure how that happened but I think it was magic. He was REALLY active tonight and it was so much fun to watch him, especially during the first new song (maybe Dokuro). He was jumping and spinning and just having a ridiculously good time. I think that if my heart didn't belong to Shinya I'd be having a crisis over this man. He was wearing his glasses for the first encore, when he was seated... guess he's afraid they'll fall off? xD
Die has gained weight and looks positively gorgeous. Kaoru was actually not only hiding in a corner tonight, which is really good for him. Kyo was really ON tonight, probably because it was his hometown.
Highlights for me other than the crazy intro would have to be, first and foremost, the first encore. Higeki was absolutely spectacular, and Undecided is... I have no words, actually. The recorded version is amazing but the live version is so much more. Kyo hits notes that seem unimaginable. Also, I loved Maggots unplugged, and audience KILLER LOOP was a treat. GLASS SKIN is easily one of my favourite songs now.
It was a fantastic show *sigh* CAN'T WAIT FOR OSAKA! That's the enthusiasm I needed. When I don't think I can go on, this band reaches out and holds my head high for me.
