[report] VAMPS HALLOWEEN PARTY 2015

Oct 24, 2015 03:37

On October 23rd, GACKT presents Camui♂Gakuen appeared at VAMPS HALLOWEEN PARTY.

Before the show started, fans at the venue could take a photo with a life sized panel of Kaicho. This was in Hall 8 alongside the other photo areas, but it had the longest line of anything at the event.





Camui Gakuen appeared after other artists, such as Breakerz, My First Story and Tommy Heavenly, had already appeared. They were announced by the host Yama-chan (from NicoNico) and a short video played on the screens to introduce the Gakuen concept to those who were not familiar with it. It was just footage from previous tours.

The schoolbell rang, and as the Camui Gakuen school anthem played, YOU-senpai, TAKUMI-senpai, Sato-senpai and Val-senpai took their places on stage while wearing the regular school uniform.



The first song was to be 'Camui♂Gakuen Baby' (a cover of BIG BANG's 'Fantastic Baby') and out came Kaicho and four dancers as the band left the stage. Yuki-senpai and Shinnosu-senpai were definitely two, but I'm not sure on the others.

...and they were dressed as nurses.


















Kaicho looked amazing. He had his usual long blonde wig, only it was in a loose ponytail on the right side of his neck. The neckline of his uniform was round and lower cut than Yuki-senpai's. He wore fishnet gloves that stretched up to his biceps and were edged at the top with feathers, fishnet stockings, a nurse's hat, devil horns, four inch long red nails on his right hand and had bite marks on the left side of his neck.

The lyrics had been changed from the regular version and were displayed on the screens in the hall. They'd been changed to be HALLOWEEN PARTY and VAMPS themed, so there were many lines about HYDE and KAZ, and Halloween. I don't really remember the lyrics because it was hard to follow them while crying with laughter at the senpais in their nurses outfits...

Kaicho explained a little about Gakuensai and confirmed again that he really isn't GACKT. He didn't go into a long explanation, as it seemed that a large number of fans already knew what Gakuensai is about.

Kaicho said that next song would be a cover of L'Arc〜en〜Ciel's 'STAY AWAY' and boasted that they'd be able to do the dance routine from the MV live. The band were back on stage for this one, and they had all changed into nurses uniforms too. The performance was the same as they did at last Gakuen, only they were dancing around as nurses.

Much underwear flashing.

Kaicho announced that the next song, GACKT's 'Jounetsu no Inazuma', would be the last song. He laughed as he said how sad that was. He explained the dance routine, and began his explanation by saying that you need to rock your hips from side to side, which he demonstrated. There was a camera mounted on the drum kit behind him, so there were many gratuitous shots of Kaicho shaking his butt in this nurse's uniform that didn't fully cover the black underwear he had on underneath.

When it came to explaining the arm actions, he became very confused. Several times. But muddled through it.

As usual, the band and the other senpais ran on stage for a visual kei festival, only this time instead of just dancing, they also all screamed like fangirls.

With everyone on stage, the performed the song. Still dressed as nurses.

After the song had finished and everyone had said their goodbyes and left, another video was shown on the screens. It was set in the corridors of VAMPS Gakuen, and Kaicho and Yuki-senpai had a discussion about doing another song. They talked about what to wear, with Yuki-senpai wanting to go back to the regular uniform, and they settled on doing a S.E.X Japan performance.

YOU-senpai, TAKUMI-senpai, Sato-senpai and Kaicho came back on stage in their X Japan cosplay. Kaicho had a new Yoshiki wig, and it was far better and more Yoshiki-esque than his previous ones. With Toshi-senpai on vocals, they performed a cover of X Japan's 'X'.

And that was it.

There are no proper photos from the event yet. After the Kobe shows last weekend, the photos were released pretty quickly but not this time... Hopefully they'll surface soon!
