I can tell you, that up until 孤独..., I was still feeling somewhat disconnected from what was going on, I was still watching them as if I was just watching another dvd. But there was some point during 孤独..., when I was staring at Kyou and he looked so desperate and somehow lonely...maybe I was imagining it, but it made me cry anyway. After that I decided that I had to use all my energy, to scream and shout and jump around and show them how much I was enjoying the live.
I want them to know that they're loved, truly. But I can't tell them, can't explain it, all I can do is give everything I have at the live and hope that everyone else does too, and that maybe it'll be enough for them to notice it.
By the break, I was about to pass out and had bad stomach pain from eating nothing but a big pretzel for the last few hours & drinking only warm water. I was at the front, one person from the barrier in front of Die, and already hated myself for even condisering moving. However, I didn't want anything bad to be clouding my memory of the live, or worse, to actually pass out and miss the rest of the live. So I went to the back of the pit, where, much to my surprise, I could still see almost as well as before, and had room to breathe.
Still, by the time the encore came around, I was about ready to fall on the floor. But when they played 陵辱の雨, I was so happy and excited and whatever, I just somehow found new energy from nowhere, and by child prey was jumping up and down and shouting. I don't know where that energy came from, I think by about kodou, I was suriving purely on andrenaline and my love for those guys. To me, it seemed like the end of the world if I couldn't shout every chorus of every song, and keep my hand in the air. I felt like a failure if I ran out of breath and I think my own guilt and disgust at my weakness also helped keep me going. XD
This is what they generally looked like (none of them wore any makeup):
1st 1/2 live-
京ーBlack trousers, waistcoat & jacket, new tattoo on hand, new nose bridge piercing. Hair is blonde still & shaved at the sides O_o
薫ーBlack shirt, black trousers? Notsure could never see him too well. Hair is a little shorter than it was in US.
Toshiya- Still rocking the blonde perm, was wearing a Kiss tshirt, didnt take note of what trousers he was wearing throughout the live.
Die- Jeans and a white tshirt, cant remember what was on it. He has an undercut I thinki, hair still very red<3
Shinya- White shirt, maybe black tie? Black trousers, I think. His hair is dark brown or black with blonde fringe.
2nd 1/2 live-
京ーblack trousers (skinny fit, maybe jeans?) & jacket, black hat with poladot ribbon.
薫ーsame as before? dont know, sorry. he was wearing black the whole live and standing mostly in shadow. ToT
Toshiya- Eh...totally forgot, sorry.
Die- Red shirt, it was kinda shiny I think? And jeans, maybe the same jeans for the whole live?
Shinya- Pretty sure he was wearing black shirt & trousers.
Encore-
京ー Some kinda weird gold? metallic silk jacket, same trousers as before.
薫ー Same as before?
Toshiya- W&W tour '06 tshirt with their legs on. Tshirt I have, but didnt ask for. Dont remember what trousers he was wearing.
Die- w&w tour '06 tshirt, same text layout as the backdrop for the stage. Jeans.
Shinya- Maroon? Dark red? shirt and, I think black trousers.
At the end of the live, same as last year, 京 poured the bucket of water over himself, but he didn't chuck his other bucket of water over us like he did last year, which dissapointed me a bit. I did get Die's water in my eye, but that wasn't exactly pleasurable or even exciting. Generally, they didnt throw much out, compared to last year. But there may still be one of Die's picks on the floor there, as he threw one and people scrambled for it, but nobody seemed to get it.
Clever Sleazoid was -very- much surprisingly GOOD! Which I'm very happy about, because we heard them practicing it and was preparing myself for dissapointment. Also, the new song is amazing, the style is kinda a mixture between the last 2 albums, a lot of -intense-, -loud- screaming, but not in an emo way like on most of Wtd :D You'll have to wait and see for yourselves. I'm so looking forward to the next album. I hope this new song will be released as a single, because the PV, given the name, should be very interesting/disturbing and sexual.
Speaking of sexual, 京's dancing is better than ever. He actually did more snake-dancing & mike stand-molesting than rolling around on the floor. Which is good, because I couldn't see him so well when he rolled around on the floor.
He had 'no future' carved backwards into his chest again, which didn't surpise me at all, I barely took any notice of it.
He scratched inside his cheeks again...now, I've heard strong cases from either side debating whether or not the blood is real. One person made a good point that blood from your mouth always looks a lot more than it actually is, because it gets mixed with your saliva, and also, your cheeks heal very quickly. This is true, but on the Vulgar[ism] dvd, I could swear he takes something out of his pocket and bites on it before punching himself etc. My friend also says, she thinks she saw the same thing at the live. So, deciding that I will never figure it out, I no longer CARE whether ir is real or not. I know he really did punch himself, really did scratch himself, that's all that matters. It's up to the individual fan whether or not they believe all the blood is real.
As I said, they gave me the wrong tshirt. I actually asked for the tshirt Die was wearing, but they gave me the wrong one. I was in too much of a hurry to look at it. At least this year they had size small. I was offended when the neotokyo woman looked at me and asked 'medium, or large?' I wanted to hit her, but instead I just asked if they had a small. I still love the tshirt I got, but I remember being happy during the live when Die came out, thinking 'yay, he's wearing the tshirt I got', because last year he was the only one wearing the tour tshirts they were selling, and he gave me the idea to cut the sleeves off. I cut up last year's tshirt a bit because it's wa~y too big for me, so I made it stylishly baggy instead of just too big XD
Apart from that, I got a poster [random posters were signed, although by who is unclear, I didnt get a signed one though so I dont care], various stickers from this & last year's tour, deadly claris sticker, deadly claris keyring and the manipulated life sweatband.
There were various others thing there, some of which I didnt find out about until the next day and now seriously regret not buying. There were random sticker sets from random tours, tour books as far back as macabre, a mirror, a (I think manipulated life) tote bag, phone charm, last year's sweatband and belt, another design of sweatband that said something nonsensical on it that I have forgotten, and that is as much as I remember...probably. If I remember anything else I'll edit this post.
