[discussion] YFCz - One Year Later
One year ago today on June 9th, 2011, GACKT called a press conference to promote YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz. The second European tour had been announced shortly before, and everyone was wondering what other announcements GACKT had up his sleeve that would be worthy of a press conference and a Nico Nico broadcast.
He gave us this...
We were introduced to four new members - JON, TAKUMI, U:ZO and SHINYA - the new concepts of twin vocals and triple guitars, and were all basically trolled and confused.
He’s kidnapped an American dude to sing with him?
Is that SHINYA from LUNA SEA?
Why is that guy swearing in Korean and flipping tables?
How many more times can GACKT say, or mouth, the word “asshole” in one short press con?
If you want to check out what people were saying back then, here is the OGYD watchalong and reaction post to the press conference - http://ohgacktyoudidnt.livejournal.com/195763.html
And the second reaction post - http://ohgacktyoudidnt.livejournal.com/195871.html
Slowly, more information came out and YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz came to life.
Here is a brief recap of the last year...
The music!
THE END OF THE DAY
ALL MY LOVE
また、ここで逢いましょッ
The lives!
Berlin
V-ROCK FESTIVAL
Makuhari
The make up and hair changes!
The TV appearances!
Kinyou Nico Radi!
So...
What are your thoughts on the first (and last...) year of this version of YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz?
What did you think a year ago, and what do you think now? Has it changed?
Did you see them live?
Any memories?
Warning - gratuitous gif usage!
(I had planned to do this retrospective post for a couple of weeks, but it seems even more fitting after the news about the 7/4 “final” live!)
