02.25.11: Kagrra, - Club Diamond Hall (Nagoya)
「行脚 百鬼夜行～陰～ / Angya Hyakki Yako ~Kage~」 Kagrra, Final Tour
Watched Kagrra,'s last live at Nagoya with my friends granitemouth and angelicoma .
So it seems that live was the “first and last” time I’ll be seeing one of my favorite bands perform their magic onstage. My memory of the LIVE is quite hazy since days have stretched into weeks and here I am reminiscing as much as possible of the details that took place. A lot of random moments transpired during that day.
Like from navigating ShinSakae to finally locating Nagoya Club Diamond Hall.
Being greeted by a long line I thought was for purchasing tickets, turned out it was a line for buying TOUR goods.
Approached a PSC staff and inquired where we can get our tickets purchased online via MJPlus just to be stricken by worry when replied by a bamboozled looking staff at the PAYPAL reply letter Mao and I showed.
Then there was us being ushered to the HALL upstairs where the staffs were busy fixing the place. But the main highlight of the moment was to be surprisingly greeted by the sight of Nao-san a few yards away from us separated by a thin glass attending a call while Mao-shi and I were outside trying to comprehend the other staff holding our tickets (I know it’s ours coz I can see Mao-shi’s real name written in Romanji on the sleeves of the envelope!). Honestly, I was too anxious about the tickets, disturbed by Nao’s presence, Mao-shi having a panic-attack beside me (LOL!), Staff-san trying to explain something I can’t quite comprehend with my limited Japanese and two roadies tailing behind I had difficulties thinking straight that time.
After that, we went back in line only to find a longer line waiting for us and Micchie nowhere to be found on the spot where we left her (it seems during our absence the line had started to move a little further upstairs). At that time, I really had no intentions of buying anything well except for a phone strap if available for myself and my dear friend, Catherine who was also a big fan of Kagrra,. But when we got there, I was somehow overwhelmed by the sensu and photobook I end up randomly pointing and buying goods (Ugh! I really am an impulsive buyer). *fails*
We had to go back downstairs and wait outside the building up until they start calling the ticket numbers. It was a long wait but during those moments Micchie spotted her two Thai friends, Na and Meiko so we had a little chit-chat and picture session before we separated ways.
Around the time we had to fall in line according to our ticket numbers, we noticed a suspicious-looking guy, no offense but he really looks “very suspicious” as how Micchie puts it. No more details here, I’d rather shut my mouth and let Micchie do the talking.XD!
Oh! And there was another incident where Mao-shi approached this guy-fan of Kagrra, on line to ask for something regarding ticket line number just to be answered by a taken aback face. Man~ we really need to polish our Japanese (especially me since I can’t remember the things I’ve studied before! ! ! ).
I’ll stop with my babbling here.Next post will be my impression of Kagrra’s performance.
Hopefully, I can manage to write something sensible. φ(．． )
