D'espairsRay @ The Roxy
I've been trying to recover from this concert for the past couple of day so this report is pretty late.My neck is in so much pain, I can't move it and I could hardly sleep. I also tore my calf muscle so it hurts when I move my leg. I don't remember a lot of details but I will try to cover what I can.
The band didn't sell out which was kinda disappointing because The Roxy is such a small venue.
The Line
I went to this concert with Thali since I always go with her. We were 6th or 7th in line. We met up with Anna (weiss_kreuz101 ) and Dea (dlberserk ) at the venue. We spent most of our time playing UNO cuz that's what we always do. Our UNO games become very violent and we insult the crap out of each other. Its very brutal!
The bus got there sometime between 3 and 4pm.
KARUBI!!!
I didn't see any of the members walk out because some girls were blocking but I did see Karyu's head. hahaha
The line was moved down at about six and thats when the line drama started. Of course It wouldn't be a jrock concert without line drama but I just wanna forget about that.
Doors open and inside the venue.
Doors were suppose to open at 8PM but I they didn't open until 8:30 so everything was half an hour late. We finally got into the venue.There was no Rail. The rail was the stage. I went to buy merch. I originally bought a shirt and a folding fan.The folding fan was SOOOO awesome!!! But I ended up going back and trading it because I wanted a signed poster to add to my collection of signed shit.
Front of the shirt
Back of the shirt.
There was a version with white text and a white shirt with an awesome design on the side. The Rodies were wearing that shirt but it was a black version that they weren't selling. They had a hoodie, a phone strap, pictures, and a magazine called AKKEW or something. There was some more drama in the front row but I'm not gonna get into that. There was holes in the stage curtain so we kept sneaking peaks trying to see what was going on because the show was late. The stage was not small but not really big.It was kinda perfect. It was shaped like half a heptagon.
Opening band
The opening band was a group called Opus Däi.The vocalist has some nice pipes! The crowed wasn't into the band. Some head nodding but that was pretty much it.It was pretty good.No one was rude. That's all I have to say about that.

KAMIKAZE
I was front row between Hizumi and Zero right in front of Tsukasa. I think all of them were wearing the clothes they had on the poster they sold at the venue. Hizumi took off his shirt a couple of songs into the set. Can I just say Karyu is so fucking tall!!!
I just can't get over how tall and slender he is!!! *dies*
I'm just gonna go over some of the basics.
They played everything off of MONSTERS but Final Call. Its no wonder I didn't know any of the songs they were playing.I only listened to the album like twice. /bad fan. They opened up with DEATH POINT. It was really awesome! The crowed would fist pump and would scream out DEATH POINT DEATH POINT DEATH POINT!!!! LOVE IS DEAD was totally fun.It makes me wanna dance! I love it when he sings "Lalalala.Love is Dead" The fist pumping for 13-Thirteen- was really fun when he would sing "Thirteen lives.But one grave".
MIRROR was super awesome! I love singing "Why don't you break the mirror?
Just what you need now!!!!" It was the best! I was SOOO damn happy when they played Infection.I was totally singing along with the chorus! It was so much fun
"How many times did I shout your name in the storm?
My voice's drying out...
I live because of you, so I believe...
"close your eyes"
Therefore, this pain never heals..."
I fucking love it!
Abyss was really nice. I love slow songs. I'm a total sucker for them. SIXTY∞NINE was AWESOME! I'm SOOO glad they played this. I love singing along to this song. " Don't hide anymore!!! Feel you. Feel you. SIXTY NINE!!!" The whole crowd was so into it. HOLLOW was really fun. Especially singing the "lalala" part. Garnet was awesome.All I remember is headbanging like there was no tomorrow and screaming out "Days.I wanna die"
Encore
The band came back out fairly quickly. They all changed into the tour shirts. Everyone cut the collar off but Zero. I think Karyu might have cut his shirt to much because his shoulder was exposed a lot. Not that I'm complaining or anything. XD TRICKST☆R was really fun.Some more singing along and some more fist pumping.I think they extended Fuyuu Shita Risou or KAMIKAZE or maybe even both.I'm not sure. All I know is it was super fun,
Oh yeah before I forget. Some guy crowd surfed to the front and jumped on the stage and tryed to give Hizumi a half hug. It was kinda funny cuz Hizumi totally blew him off and everyone had a WTF look on their face. smh. Also Did anyone else notice how many times Zero kept on bumping into Hizumi.He kept spinning and he hit Hizumi wth the neck of his guitar. And then Zero was rocking out and Hizumi got hit again. LOL
The whole band kept going to the front of the stage during the entire show. You could touch them and what not. Thats how close they were.So during the end last song Zero was right in front of the crowd. He was spitting water and I kinda wanted the water bottle he had as a Keepsake.Yeah stupid, I know. So I kept grabbing his arm everyone was grabbing his leg. he seemed to like the attention. Well I was tapping his arm and he looks down at me, grabs my hand and put the bottle cap in my hand! I had the biggest grin on my face and I look at him and smiled and he smiled back. He then drinks from the bottle and spit water in Thali and my face.I'll forgive him cuz he gave me the water cap though. XD
Meet and Greet
So I had to trade in my fan for a poster or else I couldn't participate in the meet and greet . It was such a nice fan too! The meet and greet was very fast. I said thank you to all the members. Tsukasa has such a strong grip! They all seemed to be very happy.
The bottle cap Zero gave me and my ticket.
This is the signed poster.
Thats all I can remember. Thanks for reading. I really hope thhey come back again!
