L'Arc~en~Ciel LIVE in Singapore 28 April 2012
THIS is NOT a live report. But this kinda what I wanna summery at my own point of view.
Wait.
Before that i want to say something.
THIS THE DAMN BEST LIVE I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
beside Gazette. But this base in Singapore.
I am super happy when they announce world tour and Singapore is include in the tour. At the same time i am very surprise. No doubt it took the biggest Japanese rock band 20 years to reach here. I am very much aware of demand-sales-media here. With the wave of korean music in Singapore, there is no chance for Japanese bands to come here. I'm no fan of korean music. Rumors has it that Japanese bands is "EXPENSIVE" to bring in. Blah blah blah. But the fact actually not the money to bring them in. Its the market here. The fans here. The media here play big roles. Cut to the summery: Singapore is not keen to bring in Japanese bands. Western bands is pretty much expensive than the Japanese bands. I heard its not easy to bring in Tokio Hotel, 30 Seconds to Mars here. I am even more surprise that Laruku held the live at Indoor Stadium. Bold move.
I am very grateful that Laruku come here for a live when I'm already a working adult. Imagine if they come here in the 90s while i'm still 12-14 year old.. can't afford a damn thing.
I manage to join pre-order (FC) Laruku live ticket. I doubt good seat always taken. To be honest, i am dying to see Hyde. But i've been listening to them for a decade.. I need to see them up-close. I know its all about the music. But deep down I wanna be as close to them as possible. My sister knew me too well, she was like "lets snatch the seat closer to the stage" but the closer the seat are the higher the price. I already broke from post-Japan trip. I manage to get 2nd highest price ticket.
I am wondering if Laruku did open up doors for other Japanese bands to come to our sunny island... i think they did. ONE OK ROCK going to perform on 30th June in Singapore. As a non-Visual Kei band, i doubt it is easier for them to come out from they closet.
Singapore media forever can be anal. There is no press conference. NO NOTING. Just a tiny report here and there. I don't bother to read some. Reporters here is bias. I wonder why the editor did not ask some reporters to write a report who is a fan of Laruku? Can't right? Cuz its bias point of view. BUT.. aren't alot of reporters is bias here? Don't say i never said. I did wrote a LJ entry about this YEARS ago of how bias our media is. Complaints aside!
Sorry for the tiny picture. LJ hate me currently. BUT... this the seat I got. THE best seat ever! Ok not really. But to paid for the price is alright. This the picture before the live. I was like first few in line, cuz i was like sitting in the Q chit-chat with friends and I didn't expected they open the door earlier. I want to pee 10 mint before the show start. But it soon forgotten.
I think i was super nervous.
THE CRAPPIEST PICTURE I EVER TOOK. I think i blame myself cuz i have drop the cam like too many time while I was in Japan last year. FUCK i need new cam.
I donno i took this. Basically i donno what i took. I completely forget to record Hyde' MC. DAMN it. I only record Tetsu and Ken's MC. How lame? But i was stunned, shock, and busy screaming my head off to turn on my cam to record it. But i can still find it on Youtube. I LOVE THE FREAKING MC! HAHA~~
What with the Singapore sling Hyde... oh ya Tetsu did go to USS.. according to Hyde. BACK to the live.
My side was insane, we were cheering, singing, and screaming. Obviously most is Hyde's fans. I was busy screaming too. AND dancing. I never dance and jump that much in my life except during Tokio Hotel live.. i don't even MOVE in Gazette live. So this Laruku live is special.
There you go, this is as far my eyes can zoom. I'm kidding. Cuz the lighting as you can see the one beside Hyde is directly reflect on my side, i can't take a damn good pic.. until the light was about to dim. So usually i can't get Ken or Hyde pic much.
THIS IS MY VIEW!!! AWESOME OR WHAT!! CAN DIE LIKE THIS.
NEAR THE END. OK BY THEN i can feel tears in my eyes cause i really don't want the live to end. I think i almost wanna cry!!! WTF~ anyway i did cry..i wipe away my tears a second before the lights turn on..
THE best HD video fancam by someone HYDE MC.. the best!!! BELOW:
The other MC can be found upload by this Youtube user.
This taken from my instargram. I took from my phone and obviously i bring my own digital cam but did not used it much.. for what i bring it.. i have no idea. But i still very busy screaming. The feature is great. NOT manage to fall on my head. I was actually eyeing on this feature that on top of my head..where the feature come out.. but it was stuck. I SO AMUSE.
I GET THE STREAMERS!!!!
