An Cafe at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California [4.12.09]

Apr 13, 2009 17:47

Just a Heads up. I don't have as many pictures as last year, if any at all. I gave my Camera to my parents at about 1 pm, so I couldnt take any the rest of the day. But anyway!!

April 12th 2009

The Day started with Rae Anne and I arriving at Disneyland at 7:30 in the morning. Our originally plan as to say hi to everyone from Fanime and go to Disneyland for a couple hours. This did not happen xD As soon as we got to the House of Blues there was a line, and we got in it with Tandy right away. This line lasted for probably an hour and 20 minutes, and then they opened the store.

I had previously talked with the shop people at HoB about the Hop the Line deal. So I ran over there and bought something, I was the second person (this comes into play later xD) So then EVERYONE runs over to buy something, because I mean, we all wanted to be up front. When the line for the Hop the Line people started to form there was a bit of fighting over people having friend arriving later and letting them jump in the line with them. Secutiry killed that quickly. They made us line up by the time on our receipt from the HoB store. Once that was all figured out, I ended up as the second person in line, Rae Anne right behind me. Two of our friends behind her, and then Kenston and Tandy just a couple more people down.

Then the wait began. At this point we still had about 9 hours of waiting left xD

Basically we walked around the general area talking with people, moving between the sun and the shade.

Eventually by about 5:30 they moved our line to get us ready to go in at 7:00. At 6:00 I went to pick up my tickets I won in a contest. QAnd because of this I ended up with two extra tickets that were never used, my sister and mother decided not to go.

The Live and Leading up to it.

At about 6:10 I was looking toward the door that we were to go in 50 minutes later. And out of that door walked one of the staff members xD Apparently he walked out the wrong door. He looked at me and I looked at him and he ran back inside. lol~ Nobody saw him except me.

Finally about 7:05 Security came out and searched us with those weird beeping things that detect metal xD looked at our tickets and sent us in. Inside there were two more security. One scanning tickets and one clicking how many people were there. As soon as I passed that, I ran like a crazy down the two steps and into the hall. Right up to the barrier. Dead Center. I was so freaking happy. Rae Anne came in right behind me and got next to me.

the hall filled up pretty quick. And I couldn't wait for it to start. I kept asking Jannika every minute what time it was. To my surprise no one has started calling on An Cafe like at Fanime last year. So at like 7:56 at the top of my lungs I screamed "AN CAFE!" and then continued on (An Cafe, An Cafe, An Cafe. etc) So yeah I got the chant going xD People tried after me by it died really quickly.

So after about 7 minutes of that, The opening music started to play, and of course there was a sudden surge forward XD into the barrier I went. lol~

First out was Teruki, followed by Yuuki (Who almost jumped off stage xD), Kanon, Takuya and of Course Miku.

The show started with Cherry Saku Yuuki as I had thought it would, which as it was last year, is an amazing song live. It wonderful to chant the periodic elements and scream Sine, Cosine, Tangent-o xD. The audience was pretty loud, but I had hoped we could give Argentina a run for their money. I dont think so, atleast not at this point. My Arms were tired already after this song, because I put so much force into it, as well as screaming xD

Next was Tekesuta Kousen. I think this may possibly be one of my favorite songs live. I absolutly love the furi to it and its just so powerful when Miku sings it. The front row was moving their arms a lot so even though I was doing the furi it was difficult. D:

Kawayu's Rock followed, and let me tell you. I was REALLY looking forward to this song live. I recentlly really started listening to it, and love it. Of course, almost no one did the furi. xD I saw myself, Rae Anne and Nicole doing it. But im sure Kenston and the rest of our group was as well. This song was a lot of fun. Really powerful, and Miku was growling. HOT xD (I can say after this live, I have a new love for Miku. he really gets into it and loves it). You know it also could have been that when he kinda sat down on the stage and turned toward the center he stared right at me while singing.

I think Summer Dive was next. I totally forgot they were going to play this. But I was really excited, because I personally really like this song xD It was a lot of fun and the whole band was really into it.

then was ZetsuBou. Now to tell the truth. Im not extremely fond of this song and feel they should have taken it out and placed in one more older song. Something like 3P, Candy Holic, Escapism, Touhi Kairo. yeah. But anyway. Its a lot better live then it is on the CD xD It really got into it actually and had fun. It also gave me a chance to rest my arms a bit.

Next was a slow song. Orange Dream. It was a really emotional song, and it made me a little angry that people were screaming during it. Its a song that deserved silence or quiet cheering and claping at the end. But none the less I kinda just stood there and half way through I started to cry. Bou was my favorite member and everytime I hear that song it always makes me thing I watching the last live and seeing Bou cry, you know since its a song for Bou and all xD. But yeah.

Then there was a short MC/intro thing. You know the typical intro with the claping and screaming the members names.

Then after this Miku asked Yuuki to come down. It was time for Nyappy in the World 4. :D ive been waiting for this song. Even though I absolutly hated it when I first heard it, it has been growing on me and once I saw the video of Yuuki dancing and singing to it, I couldnt wait for it. It was so freakin' awesome. Miku and Yuuki kinda had a little battle on stage xD like singing at each other and stuff and jumping around trying to punch at each other. The furi to this song was super easy too. But fun. Miku and Yuuki each took sides of the stage and had the cround scream and cheer. Again during this song Miku gave me a little smile, Rae Anne as well. :D

Duck Magical Adventure was next. Ive been waiting for this song FOREVER xD;; So of course I gave it my all. As did everyone else. This is where the power finally came in. I could hear everyone screaming "what you, what you are" it was really amazing to hear. I wish we could have gotten it on video so I could watch it. Miku threw a Mickey Mouse signed by all the members into the audience, and like at almost all the other lives, everyone in the area fell down xD; I laughed and turned back around, the look on Miku's face after making everyone fall down was priceless xD We shared a moment there. haha~ then "Music Start-o" and the headbanging continues. During this song I got hit twice with the hammer. Which made me really excited xD I also got a really cute smile from Miku when I was going to headbang. But I think the best part what when [for all of you that saw this, it was me who he was infront of xD] Miku stuck the Donald on his fucking croch while we were headbanging and started dancing with it there, I look up to see this after headbanging and he smiles down at me and laughs a bit xD It was so cute. But I was shocked at the time.

following Duck I think Miku introduced the members and let them say something. It was either here or right after the member song. xD Not quite sure.

Then was Aroma. I loved this song the first time I heard it. But since it only just came out I wasn't 100% on the lyrics yet xD so it was a lot of jumping and trying to sing along. haha~ twas a lot of fun though. Plus Miku got down on his little platform and tried to be all sexy. it was so fucking cute. And of course, it got a lot of screams and there was a huge surg forward. ouch. But anyway, really powerful song. Im really glad I got to heard it live.

My Heart Leaps for "C" followed. Unlike Rae Anne I love this song xD It was really cute live too and MIku gave it his all after telling us his heart leaps for all of us. haha~

and last was Snow Scene. Im so freakin' glad they played this. Its one song ive been dying to hear live. It was super powerful and the members were all really into it. Sounded amazing! *-* and Kanon's little bass part was love. haha.

After this they left the stage and all that was left was the Encore. Again like before the show people sucked at calling for them. I mean they tried. But EVERYONE was saying something different and I tried to go with the majority. But I really wanted to scream "Mou Kai/Mou Ippai" or something instead of "An Cafe" and then was killed me was it almost got dead quiet and they just stopped calling. Of course they werent gonna come back till we called either. So I just fucking started screaming "Mou Kai" as loud as I could. Rae Anne and Nicole joined me. As well as the girl behind and to my side (whos name I never learned. she was so nice) And then the tech guys waved them out xD

Of course the next song was BondS ~Kizuna~. Which I was really happy for. I had my BondS towel and Id been waiting for this song all night. I pulled it out and started swinging it around. My god it hurts to swing that thing around for the 8 or so minutes that BondS becomes when it is live. But it was a blast. I just kept going and going. Miku spit water on us and dumped it on his head. Im so glad he spit like 4 bottles on the middle area xD It was fucking (excuse my language) hot right there. And as gross at it kinda was..I also really enjoyed it xD plus it felt really good. BondS felt like it could go on forever. it was really amazing. xD At one point Miku was down on the stage and Rae Anne reached out and touched his BondS towel and she didnt even notice till he stood up. lol~ and Kanon almost fell off stage D: when he ran up front to play his front foot sliped off the stage a bit. but at last it came to an end and there was only one song left.

"Show my your special smile" SMILE ICHIBAN II ONNA!!! hands down this is one of the most powerful songs live, the entire audience gets into it. Even when I thought I could no long jump because I was so squished I did. I jumped with everything I had xD I gave it my all and I wish it had never ended xD It was so way to amazing. those last words are so powerful "Kimi wa boku no taiyou sa" God it was amazing.

But as all good things, it came to an end. Way too quickly I might add. It felt like we were there for only minutes and it was over. All the members waved goodbye and got down to thank the fans. I got to touch Miku, Takuya, Yuuki and Kanon's hands. Kanons was more like a handshake xD I stuck my hand out and he specifically reached out too me. And he took my bracelet that said 'Nyappy' on it. lol. and Rae Anne and I got to poke his shoes. lol~ I was really sad I didnt get to touch/shake Teruki's hand. He is so amazing D:

But oh well, I got more than I could as for anyway xD Miku smiled at me a lot more than I figure he would. You know how you can just tell when he is looking at you? it odd really. haha~. But things finally ended with Miku taking a picture of them and the audience. He had bunny ears on that a girl threw onto the stage. It was super cute. I really hope I ended up in the picture lol, not just my hands. And finally they left the stage...Teruki was the last one to leave. And it was over. OH! and...they said they would be back. ;D [Round 3? I think so xD]

My daddy bought stuff for me before hand, so I already had everything I wanted. getting down the stairs from upstrairs after I walked up there with Rae Anne and Jannik was a challenge though xD plus I was soaked in sweat and water that Miku spit on us xD I was soaked through my two shirts, pants and skirt, and my bonds towel was really gross xDD;;

Overall, I must say im extremely thankful for the chance to see An Cafe for a second time as well as being able to have the bar a second time. I dont think I could ask for more (well I could, but I wont xD). The live was Absolutly amazing, I dont know how it could have been more so. I hope everyone had an Amazing time as well :D if I got some stuff out of order please let me know. Im only certain on like the first 3 and the last 3. haha. I blanked on the rest. Expecially where Summer Dive, Nyappy 4 and Duck Magical Adventure go. But you get the just of it I think ;D

[btw. I hurt bad D: I have a lovely bruise on my knee, as large as my knee xD and I cant move my head or sing/laugh because my chest is bruised as well xD The barrier was so high, it hurtttt, and im not short either. Im sorry to everyone who is shorter than me and was against it]
