Now that I'm back at school I'll recall the T.M.R. concert. It was only supposed to be an hour long but he ended up staying for an hour and a half, with one encore. He wore a black jacket (which he removed), a black vest (which he also removed), and a halter like top with absolutely no back, which he kept on to the displeasure of most of the audience. Most of the crowd was teenage girls, some guys, and there was a whole group which must've been from his Japanese fanclub, they had a reserved section and were decked out in T.M.R. goods. I was surprised to see quite a few middle aged women in his fanclub group, I was even more surprised when they took off their shirts. The whole IGN theater was set up with chairs, and during the show people crowded into the aisles to properly enjoy the performance and to get closer. I don't remember much of the set list, but I do remember Web of Night, Meteor, Invoke, Heart of Sword, and Resonance. He spoke English every few songs, it was pretty good. Sometimes it sounded rehearsed but not bad at all. He expressed his love for New York a lot, and seemed very happy to play in the United States again.
On a personal note, it was hilarious when my mother thought that the guitarists were cuter than T.M.R. because they were taller, T.M.R. is so short. ;.;/ Ah, it was a good time, I hope he comes back.
