Diabolos
Today I watched Diabolos for the first time.
Since it was the very first time I saw it, the funny skit with the JOB in China dresses and G in Neko suit was HILARIOUS. How can you not love these guys, really? Tell me, tell me how? X'D
And the opening movie was incredibly beautiful and well made although YOU's acting always makes me laugh XD.
Onto the live itself....
I guess I'm not alone in that I don't really get into a live, any live, emotionally from the very beginning.
Of course, that's not to say the Diabolos live wasn't entertaining from the beginning. It totally is, hugely so.
But you know, there's a certain point during a live where it just captures you, and won't let you go until the end.
I've said many times that I adore U+K, and it has brought me to tears many times in the past (as well as almost killing me while I was headbanging to it while driving.... :D).
Well, this time wasn't an exception. U+K (song No.14 on the setlist), with its glorious Neko magic and the incredibly uplifting music combined with the surprisingly sad lyrics, made me start sobbing as G and Neko and JOB shamelessly bounced around in Neko poses on the stage like one big happy Cat Family :'D.
Why do I love U+K so much? I guess that's another post...
Anyway, after this song, Diabolos owned me for the rest of it.
Of course, it's not necessary to shed a tear while you're enjoying a live. I'm sure many people never cry at a live and yet have a blast!
But to ME personally, tears are a sure sign that I did make an emotional connection with a live, especially a GACKT live.
Because I'm a cry baby. I cry easily. And when I'm strongly moved by something, tears just come out naturally.
To me, watching GACKT lives are often cathartic.
Maybe that's why I don't do it very often; because it's a very special thing for me.
And then Road came on....., and really paid attention to the lyrics for the very first time, and it hit me hard.
More tears.
Then, Todokanai Ai To Shitteitanoni Osaekirezuni Aishitsuzuketa, with its ridiculously long name, followed. This is a very dramatic song, kind of a cliche in a way XD, but I love it. It's also a special song for me that actually kept me in the fandom when I almost left it once... (a long story that will not be told XD).
Even more tears...
Then, December Love Song. It was beautiful with the glow sticks in the audience looking like snow, and more snow falling from everywhere...
GACKT IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SING SO GLORIOUSLY AND LOOK THAT MAJESTIC WHILE FLYING.
HUH? PETER PAN, WHO?There I said it, and I'm sticking to it. =w=
And then....., omigosh,
Love Letter? At the end?
Really? Really?
;A;
I bawled during the entire song. Tears just kep falling, and fell onto the cute little black head of KiKi, my sweet cat, who was purring on my lap, and she would look up at me baffled every time she felt this strange indoor rain on her. X'3
I thank GACKT, once again, for his passion and commitment to his brilliant artistry.
And for moving me so much, so consistently, with not only your music and visions, but also with your life.
I feel incredibly humbled and blessed to be your fan.
And you were unbelievably beautiful, and now I officially love the corn rows but I still don't like the RRII hair.
I also have a couple of people I really want to thank for this amazing experience, but I won't say who. I'm sure you know who you are, Dears. <333
