Gazette Finale
Dude, the concert was the best night of my life. Everyone was really fucking into it. I didn't realize how hard head banging is. My neck is going to be fucking cramped tomorrow. In the beginning, I felt like an idiot doing all the hand motions and head banging that everyone else was doing, but I got really into it. In the end, I was starting to run out of energy and my arm muscles were screaming. I didn't want to stop though, waaaay too much fun. I was so fucking happy they played "Calm Envy", "Swallowtail on Death Valley", "Nausea and Shudder", "Bathroom", "Filth in Beauty", and "Hyena". Some of my favorites. They played a couple of others that I really like too, but the names always escape me.
Uruha was wearing a off shoulder kind thing with arm bands, all black. Reita was wearing a red vest with black pants. I couldn't really tell what Kai was wearing. I was sitting in Section B, Row 9, Seat 15. That's the first floor, to the right side of the stage when you look at it, near the black. Ruki was wearing a long silver jacket with a dark inner vest (?), shirt, and tie. Aoi's hair wasn't really styled, just teased a bit on top. Ruki's hair is really long now. He kept the left side the usual, but had the right side over his face, kind of frizzy.
I don't remember the order of the songs, but I remember that they played songs off of Nil, Stacked Rubbish, Guren, and Wakerimichi (sp). I couldn't place all of the song names that they did, but I definitely knew them well enough to head bang in all the right places. :D At one point, Ruki said, "It's hot. It's hot on stage. I'm hot. It's summer and I'm going to die from a fever." Then later, he was like "There are a lot of fans. There is also a lot of me. I'm a idiot, huh? But that doesn't have anything to do with this." Uruha was laughing off to the side and the crowd was giggling. Ruki noticed something off and was glancing around at the band to see what was going on.
For the encore, we were screaming for it for like 15 minutes. The guys ran off the stage pretty fast. They were playing for 2 hours, but it didn't really seem like that long. When they did come back out, Reita and Kai were the only ones out for the first set. They didn't sing, but we did a "oi/hey" song for a bit. Reita was like "Sorry, but there is another concert tomorrow, so we're going to do this half-assed."
When Ruki came out, he said something like "Lets make this a bit quieter." Haha, yea right. They played "Linda, Linda", the song that begins with the army drum, and a couple of others. Reita and Aoi were wearing the black concert t-shirts and Kai and Uruha were wearing the white concert t-shirts. After the concert ended, I went and bought a black one. :D Ruki was wearing some weird long sleeve black cardigan thing with a scarf. Ruki was throwing water at the crowd. He even went down into the arena section a bit. People were crowding the barriers to get to him, but there was a horde of security guards following him. After, Kai was throwing drumsticks at the crowd. The last one he kissed and threw. :p
During the second encore, they played "Cassis" and "Boyfriend". Ruki seemed pretty tired by then because he missed a few words in "Cassis". It was still great though. After "Cassis", he was saying stuff about how happy he was. He sniffled a bit and everyone was going awwww. We were better than Osaka. <3 Then he was like, "Okay, this is definitely the last song. I hope that our feelings are shared through this."
To the beginning, I got to Yoyogi Gymnasium at about 12:15. I wandered around a bit, went to the bathroom, and then got into the goods line at 12:30. They started selling at 1. I spent 1,650 yen on a huge bag, a hand bag, a concert pamphlet, and a card holder. Then I bought takoyaki and headed towards the CD and DVD line. I got the album Nil and the single Guren for 4,200 yen. I got 5 free posters and a postcard with them. Then I hung around outside for about a hour, then it started sprinkling. It was fucking cold I tell you. I was wearing a skirt and stockings, so I was freezing. I hid in the bathroom for the next hour and half, until the line for getting in started at about 4:45. We weren't let in until 5:20ish though. The concert started at about 6:20 and ended about 9:25. After the concert, I bought more crap for 5,200 yen. I got a bandanna, a t-shirt, and a sticker set. All together, I spent about 27,000 yen. I think it was worth every penny. :D The t-shirt alone was 3,200 yen. O.O Aoi and Reita looked so sexy in it though, I couldn't resist.
I'm kind of pissed that I didn't get the ticket to go tomorrow too. Then again, I know my arms, ass, and neck are going to be fucking sore tomorrow, so I probably wouldn't have as much fun. Ha, I just remembered something that Ruki said. "Today's concert is pretty much the same as tomorrow's concert, so let's take it easy today." XD That fucker. I really want to buy most, if not all, of their CDs while I'm here. Maybe a couple of their lives too if I can afford it. As it is, I need to live on 27,000 yen for the next 3 weeks at least. I've been spending way too much money. I'll buy their CDs and crap next month or so. When I've evened out my budget a bit. Worse comes to worse, I can always swip my card or something.
