GACKT - Attack of the Yellow Fried Chickenz : Full live-report ! (PARIS)

Jul 21, 2010 19:31

Hello everyone ! :)
First, I just want to say that I'm really tired. Some peoples who have seen me at the end of the concert know that I was almost dead at the end of the concert. But I will not start by this at all of course, because it would not be fun to know how the things what happened in the end first, don’t you think ? ^^
So anyway, here is my LIVE REPORT of the Paris concert of the ATTACK OF THE YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz, I hope you will enjoy it, because it’s a really, really looong story. I will write about before the concert, everyone I’ve seen for example, etc, etc … ^_^ So, … ENJOY !



----------------------

Well, let’s start by the begining everyone, by the meeting with my friends, my trip in Paris, everything. At first, I had to get out of my bed really early, around 5 : 30 AM, the 17th July. I though I would have died because I was so tired, but oh well, it’s for seeing GACKT after all ! So, when I’ve taken my train for Paris, I was playing the YFC concert on my computer, i twas fun. The old women who was sitting with me was watching it, she was enjoying shirtless GACKT ! ^^




Then, I’m arrived to Paris, and for me, even if I’ve already visited the city, it’s like the first time I was coming to this place, I don’t know why. I had to take the subway (metro), and it’s still complicated for someone who are not from Paris to know the direction you have to take, seriousouly ! xD Well well well, when I’m finally arrived at my hotel, I’ve decided to go to the alhambra in order to see the peoples who was waiting. Becayse YES, a few girls was waiting since one full week for the concert, it’s absolutely incredible, I didn’t believe i tat first, but it was true. You know what ? I was really surprised to see a GACKT poster in the two side of the street for the concert, yes, a big poster of GACKT, look by yourself. I’ve taken a picture of my friend called « Ren-chi » with it, and she have taken a picture with me and the poster too, here they are ! ^^


 


Then, one of my friend called « Ayrin » was arrived. I was really happy to see her again, because she’s some who are really kind. I’ve introduced her to the peoples who was here since last week and also to Ren. I was scared at first that my english was bad in front of someone, but no, I see that it’s not the case so I was really proud of myself. Ayrin told me in an another street and show me this car. It’s the car that GACKT and most probably You (but I’m not sure) for visiting Paris. A really mysterious car, I admit it, because it was almost the only car in the street, but special windows that you wasn’t able to see a lot of things from the outside …




Anyway, after this, we was waiting together at the front of the Alhambra, we was around 20 peoples already. My friend Ren bring for me two gift, the first one was REBORN album, and then, the most surprising one, was the GACKTIONNARY, the real one, I was so happy, I’ve hugged her a lot for this ! ^^ During our talk, my friend Tina is arrived too, I was so happy because it was 2 years I didn’t seen her. Unfortunatly, for now, I don’t have yet the pictures taken with me, so I can upload them here. Anyway, the next day, a red bus is arrived. It was all the instruments, tour goods, etc. He needed to come two times because they have a lot of stuff to bring inside the Alhambra !




During this day, I’ve met a lot of peoples, but it’s not enough, some peoples that I didn’t know them was coming and saying « You’re Tenshin ? », or « Thanks for everything ! ». I was really really surprised (in the good side of course), especially because they know me, but I don’t know them ! LOL Anyway, I’ve also met a lot of peoples from Livejournal. First, it was Lazuli888 with her friends. They was all so kind and nice, I love them, and I hope I will see them again soon. Then, I’ve also met Xia, and even if she think that she’s ugly, she’s NOT ugly, she’s a really beautifull girl, yes, Xia, you’re not ugly ! ^^
It’s coming to the turn of … the mom of the girl who have lately made a live-report from a YFC concert in Japan and who have said on Dears LJ that it’s possible to buy the YFC position cards without the chips paquet, it was b_sim if I remember well. That’s why I think that the world is really really small ! xD



(Two japanese staff members ! ^_^)

I’ve forgot to mention the part where GACKT and the GACKT was arriving ? Well, all G and the GACKTJOB was in the same and big red bus. First, it was Chachamaru who was going out. Sorry Chacha, but excepted your hairs, I don’t think you’re beautifull, hahaha, poor him, but I don’t hate him. Then, the GACKTJOB was suddenly arriving together, Chyrolin, YOU, and Jun-Ji. I loved how YOU was looking at us, he was smiling a lot, and Chyrolin, hmm, I will only say that his head is panhead, but he was nice, really. THEN, a few seconds later … GACKT himself ! He was going out from his bus with his new hat and his big glasses (check my userpic ! ^_^), and was saying hello to everyone like he’s doing before several show when he’s seeing his fans ! ^^ I was like « No, it was a dream, it can’t be REAL ! » …

But oh well, now, no more details about peoples outside, let’s now start about the details, I mean, I’m sure everyone want to know how the concert went, right ? Hahaha, it’s a really long story that I will try to write much as I can ! ^_^
I was entering inside the Alhambra when, suddenly, a guy searched on my bag if I didn’t have some weapons and many other things, he wasn’t kind at all, damn. But when I was in the front row, between GACKT and YOU side of the stage, and seating for waiting the begining of the concert with everyone, I’ve suddenly forgotten all of this. I also wasn’t realizing who I will see, the stage and everything was here to remind me that … IT WASN’T A DREAM !



(The stage is behind me and my friend, front row, YES ! <3)

Well, the setlist at first, without any surprises, but be sure that when you’re seeing him for real, this setlist is really pur love ! <3
{C}
- Intro (Just like the begining of the DVD)
- Zan
- Dybbuk
- Nine Spiral
- Speed Master
- Lu:Na
- Kimi Ga Matteiru Kara
- Mind Forest (In english please ! ^^)
- Ever
- Justified
- Jesus
- Flower
- Kagero
- Uncontrol -remix-
- Todokanai -remix- (Ending)

Well, let’s start the begining okay ?
Pictures wasn’t allowed, so I didn’t tried to take one, I wanted to enjoy the full experience with my own eyes you know. Let’s start by the famous « Intro » at the begining. It was really like the DVD itself, screaming like the audiance on the DVD. GACKT wasn’t here, GACKTJOB too. Suddenly, we was seeing Jun-Ji arriving, and I though « Damn, it’s definetly not a dream, GACKT will arrive ! », and yeah, he was appearing right on my eyes !!!! OMG, damn, he’s better in real than any HQ videos, for sure ! Chyrolin was a bit scary, his make-up was like if he was the joker of the band, really. (He was, for sure ! lol)

ZAN was starting, and GACKT was holding a Katana while he was singing. The intruments during the song, well, it’s so much more different the sonority of everything, it’s like a new thing. I will maybe write like a fangirl here, but … at the really begining of ZAN, when he started to sing, he was looking at me, seriously, at the begining of the concert !!! He gave me a lot of energy right at the begining when he was doing this, and even if it was only around 3 seconds, I’ve though to show him my KIAI even more, even if it was still the begining. I loved how he was moving his katana while he was singing. A TRUE SAMURAI !

The second song, DYBBUK now. YOU, who was in the front of us, just on my eyes, was ecouraging us to scream (it’s like the DVD, but for REAL ! <3), and at the exact second when the song would have started ... the lights was turning on, and no sounds. I was really surprised and I didn’t understand at first what happened. GACKT was touching his microphone on his ears, but he didn’t know what happened … No sounds ? A staff guy was coming to the stage in order to tell to GACKT about the problem, and Chyrolin was talking with a staff guy too. Suddenly, Jun-Ji was playing of his drums, and then, GACKT, without his micro, was screaming to us and again, we was screaming again. We was often screaming « GACKT, GACKT ! », and when peoples was doing this, I was looking at Chyrolin, and guess what ? He was showing GACKT to us, to scream for him, not for him, but his moves was WEIRD, funny, but weird, it was like if he was a buffon or a clown, I loved this, really ! xD He was looking at me while he was doing this, so I was screaming for GACKT again ! =P I’ve to admit it, I’ve looked at this moment a lot to YOU, because I was really surprised about how he was looking awesome. I think that, even if GACKT is still the N°1 for me, YOU is really awesome. So, the time during the black-out of musics, I’ve really enjoyed how GACKT and all the GACKTJOB was keeping us alive. The song have started finally to begin again, at the begining of course. YOU was again encouraging us to scream, and then ... it was starting ! I was jumping, screaming DYBBUK when it was the moment, really awesome ! It’s useless to say that, during DYBBUK, GACKT have looked at me ONCE AGAIN ? ^__^ xD
{C}
Well, for the third song, it’s simple, I mostly remember that GACKT, and I’m not kidding have looked at me AGAIN, just like if he was checking that one of the only guy in the first row was still okay . You know, when someone are looking at you, you have the feeling he’s doing it, it’s the same with GACKT. You have also looked at me, and I’ve to admit that I understand girls when they are falling in love of YOU, because he was looking at me whith his smile, it was great. The guys that you’re loving to see are seeing you, they are REAL damn !!!

Well, it’s useless to repeat everything for each songs, so I will explain my feelings. GACKT was really energetic on stage, I was really surprised, because on the Otoko Matsuri, it wasn’t like that. Have I forgot to mention that GACKT was doing some fanservice ? During Dybbuk for example, or Lu:Na, before he’s pulling out his shirt, it was like if he was horny ! xD Really, that was really entertaining, and I’m sure that girls have enjoyed a looot ! =P

But you know, don’t think that the concert will be a peace of cake, because around 6 girls in the front was taken out by the security guards because they have collapsed, and it was during all the concert. The concert was 1h20 with a minimum of 6 girls who have collapsed, I let everyone thinking about this ... ^_^ But even for guys it was hard, I was so wet, my shirt was so wet that it was like if I’ve taken a shower with it, it was incredible, thanks to the security in the front who given us some water during all the concert, it have helped me a lot, trust me ! ^^

During Kimiga Matteiru Kara, I was really surprised to hear that no one was screaming, normally, european fans are usually screaming anytimes, but during some parts of the songs who are not « rock », you was able to hear PERFECTLY, without any instruments, the holy GACKT voice, truly amazing ! <3
{C}
I’ve to say that during Mind Forest, everyone was quiet too, even me who know every single lyrics, I wasn’t able to sing with him (I hate this xD), and the song is also really beautifull in english, he’s performing the song with so much feelings and passion on stage that I was speechless. At the end of the song, my heart was broken because I’ve seen him who are tried to stand again on his legs, but they was ... shaking, I’ve perfectly seen this, and his face ... he was really in pain at this moment, I’ve almost cried and though « Damn, what happened, no ! », but he wanted to give us the best, and he didn’t give up !

EVER, a song that should be listened in live, and seen by yourself. GACKT was moving himself so much a lot, dancing, and saying, since almost the begining of the concert « FUCK ME ! », the crowd was all saying « Yeeeah ! », me too of course ! xD About how he was in stage, hmm, he was strangely moving his hand while he was moving himself to the right and left again and again ! xD If I remember well, the crowd (and I) was moving in the right and left ! ^^ It’s at the same time a really powerfull song, and also a song you’re moving your ass a lot, trust me, I love it ! <3
{C}
Woaah, Justified, a song I will never forget ! How he was awesome on it, how he was moving ... He was doing a little bit of dance, in order to describe a bit, at one moment, he’s looking at his left, and suddenly, like a cyborg (GHOST ! xD), the top of his body was turning to his right, and guess what happened when he was at his right ? His eyes was on mines, he was AGAIN looking at me, trust me, at this moment, I’ve sang even higher than before with him ! <3 During the middle part of Justified, something funny have happened. Chachamaru was in the middle of the stage, he was showing us his back, and then, while he’s playing guitar ... he was moving his ass !!! xDDD
{C}
A lot of moments, during the concert, he was yelling « YFC ! » and we have to scream YFC with him, trust me, your voice are starting to be gone quickly if you scream a lot, especially when he’s asking you a lot to scream ! =P The feeling ... to scream with GACKT, seeing all the bands members who are encouraging you ... I can’t explain it, I mean, they are REAL, they exist, and they want you to scream with them ! <3
{C}
I’ve nothing to say about JESUS, excepted than it’s a song made for live performance, everyone is moving, the crowd was still yelling, and I’m pretty sure he was earing us singing too ! <3 I don’t remember if it was during Flower or Kagero, but he was letting us singing with him at some moments of the song, seriously, I didn’t expected he would do it, I’ve done my best ! <3 Yes, Flower, let’s talk about the song. The right begining of Flower, he was singing alone, without any instruments, he said a couple of sentence, and hearing him like that, it’s a feeling that you’re not in this world anymore, you’re in heaven ! <3
{C}
Hmmm, Kagero, what an awesome song, I just can’t believe that this song is the most beautifull song he sang at this concert ! <3 It was also sad because everyone was knowing that it was almost the end of the concert ... T_T
{C}I think I’ve forgot a detail too. At some moments, between some songs, a part of the crowd was yelling « VANILLA, VANILLA ! », seriously ... WTF ? This song, even if it’s a great song, doesn’t have any senses, and plus, he will not sing all the songs of his discography for some fangirls, I wonder what GACKT and the GACKTJOB think about this ...

Uncontrol -remix- is arrived, YOU dropped his towel to the crowd, and one of my friend grabbed it (it’s the same friend who have taken the picture on my userpic ! ^^), damn, this tower is beautifull ! <3 I don’t remember a lot about Chacha because he was at the exact opposite of where I was, so I didn’t seen him a lot. GACKT is arrived at the end of the list and after a few words, he started the song. The son gis powerfull on the DVD concert, right ? It’s nothing compared at how the song was for real, it was EVEN MORE powerfull than anything else ! The only thing I’ve to say is ... that it was too short, I wanted to have more ! T__T
{C}
All the songs was over, but even with that, GACKT was staying on stage. He promised many times to come back here. He told us that we are a part of his family now ! <3 Before this, Jun-Ji was coming to my side with YOU and he was encouraging us to scream even more, he have also looked at me (LOL), and we was screaming, again and again. At one moment, I’ve seen GACKT smiling, he was happy, really happy. It’s the same smile on the latest TV show, a true smile, I was happy with him, really ! <3
{C}
At the end, everyone was sending to the audiance what they had, YOU sent his picks, and he was really proud of him when one of his picks was arrived ... at my friend boobs, directly, hahaha ! xD Then, Jun-Ji sent his drumsticks, remember, he was in the front-of of me. So ...
He throw the first drumstick far behind me, and then, maybe he seen me, I don’t know (he have already looked at the only guy over there ! lol), he sent the drumstick to the front row. Result : Me, my friend and a guy was holding it, really hardly. Of course, I didn’t put out my hands on it, the guy was strong, I’ve put all of my adrenaline on it. After maybe 5 minutes, my hands was starting to be wet too, if I would have continued like that, I would have left to the guy ! xD So I’ve though « Should I bit his hand or not ? », and more the time passed, more my hands was letting out the drumstick. So ... I’ve bit his hand, with all of my strenght I had at this moment. He have finally let out the drumstick. You know, after the moment I was the only one who was holding the holy drumstick used for the concert itself, all of my adrenaline was at the level 0, all of my body was shaking, I needed someone to standing on my legs. (I want to apologize to the guy I’ve bitten, I’m really sorry, I hope you’re okay !)
Here is the drumstick itself, it’s the one that Jun-Ji used in France, my precious ! <3




Well, at the end, we was talking with friends, when suddenly, a guy with a camera and a paper with written in french « Un message pour GACKT s’il vous plait ! », who mean « A message for GACKT please ! », so we was all saying what we wanted to say, I was saying Thank you again and again, and then, he said that it was enough, so we was talking again with friend and going to the goods direction.I was terribly exhausted and shaking, almost collapsing. Then, I saw Marie & Joost quickly, I think I wasn’t able to understand a few things you was saying, but I’m really glad I’ve met you, even if it was short ! ^_^
Xia & I have exchanged victory face, like « We di dit ! ». My friend Ayrin told me to go out and have some rest, but I didn’t wanted, so I’ve given to her all of my money and told her to buy everything she wanted. Here is what the tour goods was looks like, you can see wich tour goods was sold, so no plushies, unfortunatly ... ><'




After that I’ve taken this picture, I’ve really fallen and collapsed. Thanks to the persons to the alhambra who helped me to be better and who bring me out, thanks, really, because even if I was still awake, I wasn’t able to stand at all ...

In order to finish this live-report, I just want to say that it was an awesome concert, more than any other concerts I’ve attempted, even if GACKT had some problems, even if at the begining of the concert, they had a problem, it’s making this concert even more special for me ! If I have the chance to see hima gain, I WILL, because even if it’s a show-man, behind this, it’s a nice guy, who are kind and want to give his best for the peoples who love him, no matter what, I love his human nature !

So, here is what I’ve bought, for 98€, all the things like the towels was sold-out, so I can’t do anything, but I’m pretty happy to have all of this ! ^_^

- T-shirt from the Europe Tour
- The same model of the tie that G was wearing
- The photobook who contain the Postcards sold for Japan and all the YFC position inside
- A pair of socks (Men size)
- 4 different phone-strap
- 1 phone sticker
- The big bag for holding my tour goods


 




BONUS : My friend REN bought me for this, I was so happy ! <3




I hope you have all enjoyed, sorry for the delay, I'm still really tired of the concert, but I really hope you will enjoy it at least ! ^___^
