Here I am, finally with my report from SCREW’s concert in Budapest. I will make this from my point of view and it will be pretty hard to put in words what I felt. But I think it’s safe to say that it was the best night and live I had in my entire life.
The week before, I had a lot of problems and everything went down hill. At one point I didn’t knew if I will be able to attend the concert and I was literally starting to get depressed just thinking about the fact that I could miss them. So I worked my way trough that and went against everything at that point so on 3th I was sure I will be able to go. I was pulled from Hell to Heaven and it felt like a dream.
6th June
I got at the venue some where around 3: 00PM and people were already gathered there. I was a bit surprised though that there weren’t so many as I was expected them to be. But in a way that made me happy. Even so I was sure more will come afterwards and I was right. I went at the concert alone but there I meet with some friends so it was perfect
Around 6 they let the people inside. We waited a bit more there before we could get to the actual venue.
After we got it I went to my friend which was already in the front row but some girls took the place she hold for me so I ended up in the 2nd one at first.
We waited a bit before the band got on stage and I have to say I was quite surprised that the crowd was pretty quiet and was not calling out to the band. I was so excited that I was going to see them that I just couldn’t stay in the same place and I felt like screaming my soul out. My heart was literally pounding in my chest.
I don’t know the exact hour in witch the concert started since I was pretty much high and all I could think about was them. The music started in the back ground, the stage was full of smoke and the lights opened. As they entered the stage and the crowed exploded in screams. I was literally speechless and amazed of how gorgeous they actually are. I really think that the pictures and video’s don’t give them enough credit. I was staring at Kazuki thinking that he is the most beautiful person I ever seen.
The show started with Abyss and the crowed moved and pushed foreword. At one point I was literally pushed on the stage and because of that I ended up in the first row near my friend. I guess I should tank them after all. It felt like a dream to have Kazuki in front of me, I just couldn’t take my eyes of him. I got in between Kazuki and Byou. At one point during the song Kazuki looked at me winked, motioned with his hand and mouthed a “come on”. At that moment I had the urge to jump on the stage with him. They were in the front most of the time so we could get a lot of opportunities to touch them and interact with them. I didn’t saw much of Rui and Manabu though, only when they changed they places for brief moments.
At one point during the show Byou literally jumped on us. And the funny thing was that even though he looks skinny, he was actually quite heavy. Well he is a guy after all ^^
In front of me there was a speaker and Kazuki put his leg on it. By doing that everyone pushed to touch him and I got pushed again. When I raised my head I noticed that I was quite in a explicit and perverted position there with Kazuki’s…..yeah almost in my face. I really though I will lose it when Kazuki looked down at me with that typical smirk of his. My heart stopped. And after that I got a lot of moments like that and I am glad I could touch and feel Kazuki most of the times.
It felt unreal to see them play live the songs I loved so much and I singed with them each and every song since I know all of them by heart. When I looked at Jin during Brainstorm and he catch my glance, started to smile and sang with me. He is the sweetest guy ever. It was the same with Kazuki he kept looking over smiling when we saw that I actually knew all the song and he started to sing also. I can’t even say what I felt during those moments
I was glad that the crowed was so into it and so energetic because they really deserved it. They literally poured their energy to us. I have to say that they didn’t do much fan service together but instead of that they interacted more with the crowd so it was even better from my point of view
Byou’s mic had a cable and after he came in front the cable got around my hand and around the hand of the girl near me. I noticed it got stuck as he pulled back. I got my hand out fast and then I took it from the girl near me since she didn’t noticed it and put it back on the stage smiling . Byou smiled at me also with that dimple of his and said a “Arigato”. I though he was so cute and cuddly like that. I also got one from Jin. In one moment Byou, Manabu and Rui were in the front and everyone went crazy over that. Instead of doing that I looked back at Iin and made him a heart sign. He tilted his head to the side as he looked at me and I did the same thing as him smiling and that’s when I got another “Arigato” Really I just can’t say how amazing this guys are.
Anyway Kazuki threw a few Guitar pick’s around and I wanted one like crazy. I was starting to feel a bit frustrated and pouted at my friend. I guess he noticed that cuz the next time when he came in the front again he let the pick on me. It got over my chest and that’s when I saw a lot of hands in front of me. I was so disappointed thinking that I lost it but the interesting part was that the pick actually fell down and I found it after the concert. It was down right in front of me ( My best friend told me that it was supposed to be like that since that pick was mine.) I guess she was right.
When the things got heated I have to say that I got squashed in the front and since the stage was pretty low I got some huge bruises on my thighs. Also a few on my ribs and I got a few elbows also. But I didn’t care about anything anymore since each and every one of them it’s worth it and I would do that all over again anytime. A girl almost passed out as she was pulled in the back stage. Kazuki actually looked a bit worried for a brief moment.
After that the water shower started. My first wave of water came from Byou. He poured with the bottle on the girls near me and it got all over my left shoulder also. But the biggest wave came from Kazuki. He got a mouthful of water ( I think he got almost the hole bottle hahaha) He got to our level looked straight at me winked again and the next thing I knew it was all over my face but strangely I didn’t find that gross at all and honestly I quite welcomed it because it was starting to get really hot and it was hard to breath properly. I have to say I felt better after that (Thank god for water resist make up hahah)
Anyway now I understand why the pour their water on the fans in the front like that, in a way it helps them to resist more and Manabu actually threw a bottle of water to a girl that started to feel dizzy. Being in a front it’s really a combination of Pleasure and Pain.
After the live as soon as they left the stage the fans were already calling them back for the encore and they came after a while and played two more songs for us.
Set List : The Abyss, Duality, Deep Six, Brainstorm, Cursed Hurricane, Ancient Rain, Death’s door, Gather Roses, Wailing Wall, Vegas, Kairos, Vanquish, Raging Blood, Barbed wire, S=r&b
(I was so freaking happy to hear Gather Rose, wailing Wall and Vegas in a row)
Encore: Zansatsu Fiction, Nanairo
The played in total 17 songs
I could keep on with this all the time but to sum this up , I had the best night ever and I was happy out of my skin to be able to experience all that. I am still high and speechless and i am going to stay like this for some time now
I though I couldn't possibly adore them more then I do but it happened. Now I love them and admire them even more. They are amazingly modest and very friendly.
SCREW really made me proud to say that I am their fan and I am proud of them as a band seeing how much they improved. They came a long long way and they have been trough a lot of hardships but I think that only made them shine more
I Wish I could tell them a “THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING NIGHT I HAD AND THAT I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART"
