** thz events happened ~~~so long ago i apologize if ive forgotten everryyTHINGGg
early in the morning,
oddesy and i made our way to Kansai International Airport to catch a plane to Fukuoka because we're rational people.
the flight took less than an hour..

arriving in kyushu, we met up with
jadesun, stopped at our hostel, and headed over to the venue!!
we bought goods! i got the 2004 myspace scenequeen layout muffler towel, and by the end of the night we amassed so many lotto pictures its not even a joke :I on the first round, i pulled kohta and.. doubles of the same picure of giru and karyu wow CAN I PLZ NOT ;_; but thru trading at the end of the night we all got at least one of everyone ♥ friends 8D and by the end of the night i cracked and bought the tour bracelet, swooned by the noose tie. such is life.

結晶ー!!!how happy am i?! its one of my favorite angelo songs! i had been hoping for some songs from metallic butterfly, its my favorite album and last tour they strictly played babel and design pretty much, but oh my god. Prelude. and.. AND SIGN! i even whined to facebook how much i wanted to hear sign and oh my god it happPPEEENNEEDD SLUTTY KIRRRIIITTTOOOOOOOOOOOOO werqin dat SKIRT YEAH WOOOO0000
ahem. not only those songs, but i flipped my shit when DANCE began to.. to me, dance is one of those ultimate "fuck you you betrayed me fuck yoOOUUUU" songs, i didnt think id get a chance to hear it now ;u; i literally dont remember them playing reborn um
but of course the reason we were there is 弟's birthday ♥ ♥ ♥ kirito was sickeningly sweet, i expected him to just tease him (like, 'kohta is finally sempai, but, he doesnt act like it..') but.. ;___; he said the heartmeltyingest things ever. thanking him for following him after all this time, for making him the person he is today.. and then he paused, looked at kohta incredulously, and asked, "are you crying?!"
it looked something like that へ(゜∇、°)へ !!!!!
click here for fan recounts and some word-for-wording on the brotherly love whch jadesun found ;u;,
「康太くん、今まで長い間お兄にゃんについてきてくれてありがとう…」
「康太くんは、お兄にゃんと違って素直で明るいから、とても支えになりました。これからも一緒にいてください。…コータ泣いてんのか?」
and we cant forget..
キリト「Angeloの…エロテロリストです」
Karyu「あーん…福岡ぁー…♡」
(@_@) i aaaAA okay
after the show (we kept our drink "tickets".. because they were cute little Drum Logos pins!!) we retired to our hostel, right sweaty messes, and prepared for a long day of shopping the next day which ended with winning gloomies at gamcens, all-night karaoke that absolutely RUINED us, 5 am Mister Donut and a plane right back to osaka Dx !!! fun 8D
the show was so.. lighthearted and fun! there were smiles abound and it was really a unique kind of show that night, i think. with giru and karyu teasing kohta too, and kiritos sappiness, (and some kxk where kirito was blowing in kohta's ear to annoy him ♥~) it was seriously the best. of course, this set me up in a happy angelo bubble and i wasn't prepared for what happened the next show.
this time around, it was me,
oddesy and
mynameisdish !!
mynameisdish's first kirito experience ;D
i actually wasnt really feeling my best before this show, because i hadnt really slept. but of course, by the end, i was happy as a clam O(≧▽≦)O
we entered hatch w a bit worse ticket numbers than last time, but still got a good place bc hatch is really big. unlike drum logos, there was a more intricate stage setup, with a curtain over the stage.
and then the lights suddenly went out.

weird images played on the curtain as heavy, wordless music piped through the speakers. we could see the silhouette of the members as they walked out on stage. with the opening riffs of RIP, the spotlight changed to show the shadow of karyu, giru, karyu, giru.. and then the curtain fell.
kirito had barely begun the song before he took hold of the mic stand and swung it over his head.
crack
crack
crack
crack
until it was bent, and he would prowl the stage, pissed off, the crumpled metal casually flung over his shoulder and staring at us. im not going to lie, it was scary and unexpected enough that where i was lik "woo0 ay angelo woo" at the beginning, my arms went to my sides and my face was just o_____o. and he kept doing it, smashing the stand against the stage. sing, glare, crack. the sound was so loud even over everyone, all the instruments. i just remember thinking, holy shit, i'll do anything, please stop being so pissed LOL the true power of dictator kirito i guess Dx this kind of feeling went on for some time, even in Tower of babel i felt he was more controlled and still had this total coldness in his face even when he was still. what the hell happened
i kind of thought, well, well, okay. clearly this live is a release. i have something inside, too. so it'll be mine as well. and it turned out to be a crazy night 8D
"The crime to cradle" was newly played for us in Osaka and holy shit guys, its AMAZING. it was so HEAVY AND SEXY and i caAAnnnt wait for the singles to be released!! man, actually, this show was so fucking fun. there was a older couple in front of me, a girl and a more heavyset guy. who was KIRITO CRAZY. holy shit he gave me life xDDD every time there was a moment of silence i just hear his voice tearing out KIRITTOOOO!!! KIRITOOOO!!! and while us girls were, ykno, headbanging, waving our hands around.. this guy. THIS GUY. THIS GUY WAS ON POINT. every fucking time kirito would make his own hand movement, this guy was THERE. i was fucking dying and i loved him, he gets ma props <333333333
i think the most important thing ive picked up from this tour my fUCKING SUDDEN EVERLASTING LOVE FOR GIRU AND KARYU OH MY GOD WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL OF THESE ~FEELINGS~. there was one point in the live where we were all down and headbanging (maybe during horocAAAUUUST), but then i looked up and giru was center stage looking at everyone, singing along.. and i was singing along too, and we looked at each other and we were just like
...8D
8D
8D!!!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WE SHARED A BEAUTIFUL ROCKING OUT MOMENT THAT WENT ON AWKWARDLY LONG AND I M GIRU'S NUMBER ONE FAN OK OTP MEGIRU FOR LYYYFEEEEEEEE
pretend i never said that and oh GOD this tour had made fucking kohta x EVERYONE okay for me its not okay at all actually with giru's little boy crush on kohta and some of the fucking karyu and kohta stuff that was going on onstage.. with kohta playing next to karyu and karyu getting on his knees and just giving him this LOOK holy fucking what am i 12 what is this im losing it
ahem-2
no not even there was an amazing kxk moment where kohta was being his badass self at the front of the stage, playin dat bass when kirito snuck up on him, wrapped his arms around him from behind and leaned on him ♥ at first kohta was all stoic and 'fuck ya fuck u' face he likes to make, but kirito didnt get up.. and slowly but surely, the weight of kiritos groce sweaty body took a toll on him and he was going down xD
yeah USE UR IMAGINATION SHUT UP 8D
the whole ~dictator vibe really cemented it for me with the last half of the first set. i think my head exploded when danmatsuma started.. one of my first fav angelo songs!! from there until holocaust, i was so fucking giddy with terrible angry raw angelo-ness 8DDD maybe its weird, but i was LOVING how into it karyu and giru were, singing along to the old songs that weren't really.. "theirs" so to speak?? IDK <3333 KARYU AND GIRU I LOVE YOUu
i never fucking talk about takeo i am so sorry um takeo is the prince of angelo and the stage was SO BIG and they were so spread out this time, i could see him up on a platform <333 takechannn
yeah
writing this made me way to giddy with angelo feels i just want to shout from the rooftops ANGELLOOOoo i dont even know what im talking about anymore.
i felt really lucky that they played such old songs, even tho i thought it was strange the set list changed so drastically from just a couple weeks ago and he seemed so mad. but the most important thing was, i went into the hatch feeling kind of blah, and i came out with the biggest smile on my face.

6/15 was my 21st birthday!
jadesun came up for the instore which we got tickets for by reserving all three editions of the new singles!...
(sob)
the instore was at Like An Edison, while kinda iconic at least to me.. the store is like a closet. it was so small in there! so it was a little hard to see for me and
jadesun bc we're midgets. :( but it worked out. only Kirito and Karyu came for our instore. my first impressions were.. holy shit kirito. holy shit kirito your hair is beautiful. holy shit your legs are so long. holy shit letmeborrowthattop. and karyu.. holy shit he is so TALL!! its incredible lol.
the instore was short.. and hot and crowded and it was hard to hear because both the shitty mc and the pair MUMBLED. we could give fan questions, but they only answered like, three, and i felt they were kinda wasted imo. like
"kirito, do you practice dancing in the mirror?"
".. no"
waste ma TIME DAMN
i also really, really love karyu bc he gives kirito shit. karyu was answering questions and kirito, who cant keep his fucking mouth shut, kept interrupting and talking and karyu just looks at him and goes "sorry, but.. i'm talking. and kirito was just kind of oh.. oh ok and put his head down LOL. u go girl~~~
after their talk, we got to receive postcards from them. holy shit, i got REALLY nervous to approach them xD i was seriously so nervous, i kind of blanked on the memory xD like i cant even remember if i said THANK YOU. the most i remember is looking up at kirito, and my brain short circuiting because his eyes were so vividly fucking blue bLUE BLUE CONTACTS BLUE KIRITO BBLLUEUEUEEEEEEEE hopefully on the surface my malfunction wasnt so clear as it FELT lol. because inside i was making that "(¤␣◉)" Ruki face 8IIIII
so hey, for my birthday i got a kirito and a karyu ♥ not bad 8D
next time---
