C.H.Lion and C.H.Ocobo - 11/4 @ Namba Hatch
We joined the party.
Incoherent report follows.
WARNING: This is a Ken live. Do I really need to say it?
Just in case- MC content here is for ADULTS ONLY.
This is going to be an absolutely crappy report compared to my usual standars.
The reason for this is simple.
Ken.
Oh My Ken.
He STUNNED me.
I'm not sure I'll recover in time for tomorrow's live @.@
KEEEEEEEEEN
ﾞ '`,､'`,､'`,､(^口^) '`,､'`,､'`,､
I can't coherently remember the track order
and I'm all buzzed from the show and the stunning and the omfK
so I'mma just write what I can 8D
First things first though -
Tonight, instead of Pikachu, my live partner was (duh) C.H.Lion~
Here is Us:
Since C.H.Ocobo had to wark until 17:00, and the doors opened at 18:00...
I didn't actually have time to eat or do anything more than change, get Lion-chan, and run out the door. ^^
(The pic was taken when we got home)
The live itself started at 19:00.
Normally making it for 19:00 would be enough.
Except.
When a bird has a really awesome ticket, a bird does not want to waste it!
So we had to get there by 18:00.
Including walking time to-from stations, it takes about 40 minutes to get to Hatch from the nest.
So we zoomed.
I had ticket number SEVEN.
Bird has amazing luck with Ken lives, probably because I joined his FC the minute I could XD
There was no way in hell I was getting there any later than I had to.
We made it in time :3
Not in time to buy goods, but in time for the start of ticket-calling.
Since I was SEVEN, there were only six people in front of me in line.
Two were guitar-fanatic boys.
When we got led by the staffs, these boys colonized a spot in front of Nakama's spot (lead guitar, obv.)
So a bird got the spot right next to the girl who had been No 1 (2 and 3 were on the other side of her).
As more fans pushed forward, I got nudged gradually to the centre.
So by the time the live started, a bird was DIRECTLY LINED UP WITH THE MIC.
IN THE FRONT ROW.
IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER DOES IT
For the next hour, I chatted with the girls nearby. Ticket 1 was SUPER QUIET and barely chatted, but everybody right behind me, as well as Ticket 2 on the other side of the silent one, were so genki and nice and cute, so the time flew by~
Then the lights went down and the SQUEEING BEGAN!
I'd avoided most repos to avoid spoilers XD
All I knew is that there would be costumes :3~
I was not disappointed!
First, the drummer (never did catch his name) was dressed like something Tetsuya Nomura might design - though not like any specific chara I recognized - with mesh and belts all over and it was really quite RAR
Second, Tomo-chan was dressed like a harem girl, with effectively a bikini with some see-through fabric and a little dazzly stuff added.
SHE WAS HOT OMG
Third, the main guitarist Nakama-san was being Captain Jack Sparrow!
He spent all night making crazy eyes and being a pirate and it fucking rocked.
Fourth, Hatano-san was a chef XD
The iron chef maybe? Who knows.
Fifth, the rhythm guitarist Shirota-san was TUXEDO MASK.
As in SAILOR MOON'S BOYFRIEND.
SERIOUSLY
I died.
Sailor Moon FOREVER
Finally, TAKASHI was dressed as that white-suited boat captain guy from the L'7 pamphlet.
Everybody looked cool, but the fans were waiting for somebody else :3
I noticed a few Lions on the equipment. One was Naked, and two others were wearing goods from last year's tour.
Cuteness~
But we were waiting for a more different lion.
Eventually.. eventually...
THE ONE AND ONLY KEN
APPEARED!!
He was dressed very simply and Japanesely in a blue yukata and geta 8D
(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)
I could see his toes!
He has very nice feet. They go with his lovely hands.
His hair was unstyled and I don't think he was wearing any makeup. Maybe foundation at most.
And he was all whiskery. Like the Lion he is.
(For clarity's sake, if that even makes sense in this mess of a repo, I will try to avoid calling Ken a lion and only call Lion-chan a lion. OK? OK.)
Nobody changed costumes at any point, though some of the guys did remove layers. Especially Tuxedo Mask.
I honestly can't remember the track order at all. The awesomeness of the other stuff blew it away.
I know he did all the songs on The Party OBVIOUSLY
and most of IN PHYSICAL, though not all
and also a few covers.
Including a cover of t.A.T.u of all things XD
That one deserves special mention - Ken made Not Gonna Get Us by t.A.T.u into a ROCK and HARDCORE piece of AWESOME.
He was using the megaphone that he uses for a few songs here and there, and making the crowd scream, and it sounded completely kickass despite still being recognizable if you know the original song.
KEN MAKES A TERRIBLE FAUX-LESBIAN
But he can certainly make -anything- into hard rock, and this was the proof 8D 8D 8D
<3 KEN
Other covers included Viva la Vida ("biba ra biba") and that Rock n Roll song he does at winter JACK every yer.
During his own songs, he often started playing AIR GUITAR
until he remembered that he was holding a mic for a reason.
Ken: *RAWK*
...
Ken: *Derp Derp*
Ken: (=´Д｀=)ゞ *sings*
Lots of the time he just made the crowd sing instead. 8D
When he DID sing, he would smile most adorkably every time he nailed a note.
Y(=^д^=)
And when he messed up, he would twitch his face in that Kenish way of his.
(= - ω- =);;
GUESS WHICH OF THESE FACES I SAW MORE OFTEN.
(Hint: It is the second one)
And Ken was also fond of flicking his tongue.
Not in an impish way, not in a cute way, but in a ... LION way.
Like, he'd just stick it out and twist it for no particular reason.
Especially when he was air-guitaring.
It was nice 8D
Now of course, air was not the only type of guitar Ken played.
Tonight I fell in love with Shiroi Hana.
Yes, the singing is atrocious, but I DON'T CARE and I care even less now.
Because Ken
He was playing it.
HE HAD HIS GUITAR AND HE WAS PLAYING IT and there was a beauuuutfil intro for this song and then there was the ENDING and he was playing guitar right in front of me and I could see his long thin fingers moving so very very very very fast and his GUITAR FACE
I was a meter away from THE GUITAR FACE
omfKen
(⌒杰⌒)
Let's see, specific songs...
solitary stroll sounds AWESOME live. It's so heavy and dark and Ken kept ruining the dark mood by grinning felinishly XD
Also Tomo-chan's backup sounds better (to birdears) than the choir in the recorded version.
During SPIN ALONG Tomo-chan came over to Ken's spot and he flipped her off. She flipped him off right back without missing a beat XD
Oh, for the first few songs, Ken was being a pest and leaning all over Nakama-sana and Hatano-san like 8D!!!
AND AND AND
there was a GUITAR THEREESOME
where Ken and his two guitarists were just standing around being awesome
Ken would play a part (of rockified Mozart no less) and the other two would repeat it
and they went back and forth challenging each other while the crowd just STARED.
Jaw-droppingly awesome.
OH AND OF COURSE
For T.P.I.T.P.
The BIG LION-CHAN came on to the stage to daaaance~
Ken "stabbed" him with the mic. BigBebe looked shocked 8o
At the end of the song Ken took the mic and arranged it to look like BigBebe had a hard-on.
BigBebe looked scandalized 8o
I'm not sure BigBebe can really see what Ken is doing.
It's probably just a reflex - Ken approaches, look shocked 8o
But more to the point, THERE WAS DANCING and it was adorable.
EVERYBODY DANCED.
It was better than at Summer Jack because for this EVERYBODY was there just to see the Lion and the Lion and the Lions so we were all dancing and it kicked ass.
For various songs, but most notably for ETERNAL REST,
the clump of us at the front SYCHRONIZED our LION-CHANS and made the cutest line of headbangers EVAR.
All night long
A bird was smiling and drooling and headbanging and playing with Bebe-lion-chan and having an awesome time.
That's about all I can remember about the songs.
I am rather clearer on the content of the MCs 8D
This being Ken, there were a lot of MCs. The content of them was random 8D <3
The very first MC had Ken talking in -classic- Kansai-ben (so exaggerated from his normal speech) with some added "nya"s at the end of his words XDDDDD
It was the cutest thing I've ever heard.
Ken: So hot~ This is the perfect weather to have a beer and enjoy the live. You guys having beer?
crowd: Nooo!
Ken: What? WHY NOT?!
crowd: *mumblemumble* (assorted answers)
Ken: Don't they sell beer here? Do they not?
crowd: THEY DO!
Ken: SO GO DRINK SOME.
crowd: *lol*
Ken: I'm going to. Sure the staffs will only let me have thiis much (showing about 3 cm of space between his fingers) but still. It's the principle of it.
Whenever Ken ran out of things to say, he'd just finish his sentence with the name of the next song and that would be the that.
It's him, what else can I say.
A few sogns later, the lights had gone dark.
A squeeing bird was helping little-feathery-Lion-chan blow kisses to the stage.
Remember, we were RIGHT IN FRONT of the mic stand.
Ken: *walks up to the edge of the stage* Aw, that is so cute.
Bird's Lion-chan: ☆⌒ヽ(*'、^*)
Bird: He's MECHA cute~
Ken: Mecha cute indeed... OH HEY you speak Japanese!
Birdbrain: *omfKen heard me and now he is talking to me WHATDOIDO*
Bird: ＼(〇_ｏ)／ "HAI!"
Ken: Pardon me *little bow*
Bird: Not at all....
Birdbrain: *fries*
So like.
The Ken
Saw me? Heard me? TALKED TO ME?
And.. BOWED AT ME? .>.
does not compute
Birdbrain stayed fried for the rest of the night.
That's a big reason why I can't remember the track order and stuff.
(;￣▽￣)/
Other MC stuff:
Ken: Who's from Osaka tonight?
Osaka people and a Bird: HAAAAI!
Ken: Who came from other prefectures?
Other people: HAAAAI!
Ken: Wow, some people came all the way here to see me~
Ken: It's good to be in Osaka~ but you know I was just in Nagoya and I used to live there and all, so it's like I'm home there too, and I've been to so many places and *mumblemumble* Hokkaido? (to his band) Does anybody know anything about Hokkaido?
Ken's band: ............ *look at each other*
Ken: Hokkaido.. it's Hokkaido. I've been there a couple of times. There's this restaurant I always go to. And when I'm here, there's a shop I always go to. It's kind of embarrassing actually, the lady that runs it recognized me. I went in to buy a sweater and she went "You came here a year ago, didn't you".
*Crowd lulz*
Ken: But it's just that THAT'S THE ONLY SHOP THAT HAS STUFF IN MY SIZE! You know?! They make everything so SMALL these days?!!
birdbrain: Ken you're not even -that- tall... ... ... @.@
Ken: Nothing fits, and when I find something that fits IT HAS HOLES IN IT
Ken: Do they do that on purpose? I can picture the little old ladies getting a discount on it and going "kids these days dont know how to sew, it's a lost art" but I DONT KNOW HOW TO SEW so I can't buy clothes with holes in. Do you guys do that?
crowd: yeah~
Ken: Who fixes the holes? Who wears clothes with holes?
(various hands and lols)
Ken: I don't get you guys.
~a later MC~
Ken: SO who had to work today?
bird: *wing*
lots of people: *hand*
Ken: Who had school?
different lots of people: *hand*
Ken: You guys that worked, what do you do if you're going to a live but your boss asks you to stay for overtime?
crowd: "SAY NO"
Ken: You just say no??! For me? :3
crowd: YEAH!
Ken: That's great! I was honestly wondering, who's gonna come see me on a weekday like this. Why? I mean what's the point?
Crowd: YOU ARE AWESOME THAT'S WHAT (answers get lost in crowrdrawr)
Ken: DONT BOTHER ANSWERING I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU
Ken: So you guys that had school.. Did you tell your teachers you were coming here?
students: YEAH
One loud person: I SKIPPED SCHOOL TO COME!
Ken: YOU SKIPPED SCHOOL??! Who skips school to go to a live?!
lots of people: US!
Ken: DONT DO THAT 8p
*next song*
~later still~
Ken came up to the stage with a Bebe-chan HAND PUPPET on his hand.
Ken Bebe: I have a letter here~ Does anybody want to read it for me?
Crowd: KYAAAAA!!! *hands everywhere*
"Bebe" dropped the letter into the crowd... sort of.
Paper FLUTTERS so the letter actually landed in the less-than-a-meter-wide gap between stage and crowd.
A staff guy got it and gave it to a fan, two people away from a bird 8o
So I could easily read over her shoulder.
Bebe-chan has very nice handwriting. *derp*
Letter: Dear Ken-san. I made some special badges for the show today! Please give them to the fan whose ticket number matches this question! How many pairs of socks did we buy yesterday?
Crowd: EEHH HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?!!
Ken: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!!
Staffs: *sign something to Ken*
Ken: Oh uh, it's four. I bought four pairs of socks yesterday. So ticket no. 4, congrats!
Letter (cont): Congratulations! Come get your badges at the staff booth at the end of the show! Bring your ticket stub!
Ken Bebe: Yay~ Congrats~
Crowd: Squeeeee~
Ken: Seriously though, I can never remember how many socks I have. So I just buy some when I run out. And then I run out of underwear. But lately the fans give me lots. So thanks. Give me more.
Crowd: SOCKS OR UNDERWEAR??
Ken: Socks. The underwear you guys give me is too flashy. I don't wear it.
Bird: *facefault* yeah right
Crowd: WHAT UNDERWEAR DO YOU HAVE ON TODAY?!?!?!
Ken: Oh come on.... Do I have to?
Crowd: SHOW US ! SHOW US! SHOW US!
Ken: o(">_<)っ★ fine
Ken proceeded to bounce around as he slowly lifted up his yukata (it was wound pretty tight and he's DAMN skinny so yeah).
He lifted it high enough that we could JUST see the bottom of his flat ass 8o
I SAW KEN'S ASS
It LOOKED naked but it's also possible that he was either wearing skin-colour underpants OR small ones that didn't cover the cheeks in full.
He didn't face the crowd with his yukata up so errr I can't tell from THAT angle.
Crowd: SHOW US AGAIN! SHOW US AGAIN! SHOW US AGAIN!
Ken tried to look sheepish but he lifted up the yukata again and wiggled his flaaaat skinny butt.
I SAW KEN'S ASS TWICE
Between this and his fingers and his tongue and his guitargasmface, it'll be a miracle if I get any sleep tonight. Or any work done tomorrow.
~later still, after the encore break~
Ken: Let's talk about fetishes!
Crowd: YES LETS DO THAT
At first Ken was the only one on the stage.. He had the crowd call out a member's name, then that member would come back and Ken would ask what their fetish was 8D
Nakama-san answered "music". Ken pressed him for more and he said "guitar".
Guitar fetish for a guitarist. WHODATHUNKIT
The drummer said shoulders. I think... *forgets*
I can't for the life of me remember Tomo-chan's.
Hatano-san said "frying pans" at first, but Ken didn't let him get away with that, so he corrected it to "fingernails". Especially long and pretty ones.
Shirota-san's was backs and necks? Possibly? Not sure...
TAKASHI's answer was Smells.
I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.
As for Ken... He didn't say Dams!
Ken: I don't know what my fetish is anymore! I think I need to look for a new one. I guess I like tummies? But I also like boobs a lot. So maybe it's boobs.
Bird: *dies*
Ken: But with me it's like, OK so I see a nice pair of tits, right, and I'm like "OK my thing is tits" but then a little bit after I see an awesome ass and then I forget all about the tits. So is it asses or tits? I JUST DONT KNOW.
Bird: *deaddeaddead* never change Ken, never change
Some fan screamed something about how he can see her tits if he wants
Ken: You're naked right now?! Oh you're in a bra? Bra? Braaa? (repeat bra several times)
Ken: That would be really neat, if all my fangirls could line up and I could just be like... 8DDD
(sticks hand out and runs back and forth along the stage, as if he was hitting a row of protrusions with his hand)
Ken: 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Ken: 8DDDDDDDDD *pokes imaginary boobs*
Bird: *dead!*
Ken: No I could never do that. *suddenly serious* I'd regret it five minutes later.
Bird: *familiar feeling of something registering in the birdbrain* Must ponder this later. When sane.
So Ken's fetish is UNDEFINED. For now.
He does smile a LOT when thinking of boobs though 8D
He's being so hetero.
~Random tidbits that I'm not sure where they go~
Some fan yelled about a Generation Gap.
Ken retorted that we were too young to appreciate his METAL.
Both are wrong ):
THERE IS NO GAP BECAUSE KEN IS ONE OF THE IMMORTAL GODS OF ROCK OKK
Ken shook off some sweat while at the edge of the stage and it landed on a bird. (ew?)
Also water bottle spray got on a bird and on a bird's Lion-chan.
At the very end they took some pics of the crowd and the band, so that the band were facing away from the crowd to take the picture with everybody. Wonder if I'll ever see it...
THAT'S IT for tonight. There is another day of Ken tomorrow, and I'll have all weekend to write that one and probably won't be so stunned.
So.
RAWR.
Incoherent report follows.
WARNING: This is a Ken live. Do I really need to say it?

So like.

Saw me? Heard me? TALKED TO ME?
And.. BOWED AT ME? .>.

Birdbrain stayed fried for the rest of the night.
That's a big reason why I can't remember the track order and stuff.

Other MC stuff:
Ken: Who's from Osaka tonight?
Osaka people and a Bird: HAAAAI!
Ken: Who came from other prefectures?
Other people: HAAAAI!
Ken: Wow, some people came all the way here to see me~
Ken: It's good to be in Osaka~ but you know I was just in Nagoya and I used to live there and all, so it's like I'm home there too, and I've been to so many places and *mumblemumble* Hokkaido? (to his band) Does anybody know anything about Hokkaido?
Ken's band: ............ *look at each other*
Ken: Hokkaido.. it's Hokkaido. I've been there a couple of times. There's this restaurant I always go to. And when I'm here, there's a shop I always go to. It's kind of embarrassing actually, the lady that runs it recognized me. I went in to buy a sweater and she went "You came here a year ago, didn't you".
*Crowd lulz*
Ken: But it's just that THAT'S THE ONLY SHOP THAT HAS STUFF IN MY SIZE! You know?! They make everything so SMALL these days?!!
birdbrain: Ken you're not even -that- tall... ... ... @.@
Ken: Nothing fits, and when I find something that fits IT HAS HOLES IN IT
Ken: Do they do that on purpose? I can picture the little old ladies getting a discount on it and going "kids these days dont know how to sew, it's a lost art" but I DONT KNOW HOW TO SEW so I can't buy clothes with holes in. Do you guys do that?
crowd: yeah~
Ken: Who fixes the holes? Who wears clothes with holes?
(various hands and lols)
Ken: I don't get you guys.
~a later MC~
Ken: SO who had to work today?
bird: *wing*
lots of people: *hand*
Ken: Who had school?
different lots of people: *hand*
Ken: You guys that worked, what do you do if you're going to a live but your boss asks you to stay for overtime?
crowd: "SAY NO"
Ken: You just say no??! For me? :3
crowd: YEAH!
Ken: That's great! I was honestly wondering, who's gonna come see me on a weekday like this. Why? I mean what's the point?
Crowd: YOU ARE AWESOME THAT'S WHAT (answers get lost in crowrdrawr)
Ken: DONT BOTHER ANSWERING I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU
Ken: So you guys that had school.. Did you tell your teachers you were coming here?
students: YEAH
One loud person: I SKIPPED SCHOOL TO COME!
Ken: YOU SKIPPED SCHOOL??! Who skips school to go to a live?!
lots of people: US!
Ken: DONT DO THAT 8p
*next song*
~later still~
Ken came up to the stage with a Bebe-chan HAND PUPPET on his hand.
Ken Bebe: I have a letter here~ Does anybody want to read it for me?
Crowd: KYAAAAA!!! *hands everywhere*
"Bebe" dropped the letter into the crowd... sort of.
Paper FLUTTERS so the letter actually landed in the less-than-a-meter-wide gap between stage and crowd.
A staff guy got it and gave it to a fan, two people away from a bird 8o
So I could easily read over her shoulder.
Bebe-chan has very nice handwriting. *derp*
Letter: Dear Ken-san. I made some special badges for the show today! Please give them to the fan whose ticket number matches this question! How many pairs of socks did we buy yesterday?
Crowd: EEHH HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?!!
Ken: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!!
Staffs: *sign something to Ken*
Ken: Oh uh, it's four. I bought four pairs of socks yesterday. So ticket no. 4, congrats!
Letter (cont): Congratulations! Come get your badges at the staff booth at the end of the show! Bring your ticket stub!
Ken Bebe: Yay~ Congrats~
Crowd: Squeeeee~
Ken: Seriously though, I can never remember how many socks I have. So I just buy some when I run out. And then I run out of underwear. But lately the fans give me lots. So thanks. Give me more.
Crowd: SOCKS OR UNDERWEAR??
Ken: Socks. The underwear you guys give me is too flashy. I don't wear it.
Bird: *facefault* yeah right
Crowd: WHAT UNDERWEAR DO YOU HAVE ON TODAY?!?!?!
Ken: Oh come on.... Do I have to?
Crowd: SHOW US ! SHOW US! SHOW US!
Ken: o(">_<)っ★ fine
Ken proceeded to bounce around as he slowly lifted up his yukata (it was wound pretty tight and he's DAMN skinny so yeah).
He lifted it high enough that we could JUST see the bottom of his flat ass 8o
I SAW KEN'S ASS
It LOOKED naked but it's also possible that he was either wearing skin-colour underpants OR small ones that didn't cover the cheeks in full.
He didn't face the crowd with his yukata up so errr I can't tell from THAT angle.
Crowd: SHOW US AGAIN! SHOW US AGAIN! SHOW US AGAIN!
Ken tried to look sheepish but he lifted up the yukata again and wiggled his flaaaat skinny butt.
I SAW KEN'S ASS TWICE
Between this and his fingers and his tongue and his guitargasmface, it'll be a miracle if I get any sleep tonight. Or any work done tomorrow.
~later still, after the encore break~
Ken: Let's talk about fetishes!
Crowd: YES LETS DO THAT
At first Ken was the only one on the stage.. He had the crowd call out a member's name, then that member would come back and Ken would ask what their fetish was 8D
Nakama-san answered "music". Ken pressed him for more and he said "guitar".
Guitar fetish for a guitarist. WHODATHUNKIT
The drummer said shoulders. I think... *forgets*
I can't for the life of me remember Tomo-chan's.
Hatano-san said "frying pans" at first, but Ken didn't let him get away with that, so he corrected it to "fingernails". Especially long and pretty ones.
Shirota-san's was backs and necks? Possibly? Not sure...
TAKASHI's answer was Smells.
I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY.
As for Ken... He didn't say Dams!
Ken: I don't know what my fetish is anymore! I think I need to look for a new one. I guess I like tummies? But I also like boobs a lot. So maybe it's boobs.
Bird: *dies*
Ken: But with me it's like, OK so I see a nice pair of tits, right, and I'm like "OK my thing is tits" but then a little bit after I see an awesome ass and then I forget all about the tits. So is it asses or tits? I JUST DONT KNOW.
Bird: *deaddeaddead* never change Ken, never change
Some fan screamed something about how he can see her tits if he wants
Ken: You're naked right now?! Oh you're in a bra? Bra? Braaa? (repeat bra several times)
Ken: That would be really neat, if all my fangirls could line up and I could just be like... 8DDD
(sticks hand out and runs back and forth along the stage, as if he was hitting a row of protrusions with his hand)
Ken: 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Ken: 8DDDDDDDDD *pokes imaginary boobs*
Bird: *dead!*
Ken: No I could never do that. *suddenly serious* I'd regret it five minutes later.
Bird: *familiar feeling of something registering in the birdbrain* Must ponder this later. When sane.
So Ken's fetish is UNDEFINED. For now.
He does smile a LOT when thinking of boobs though 8D
He's being so hetero.
~Random tidbits that I'm not sure where they go~
Some fan yelled about a Generation Gap.
Ken retorted that we were too young to appreciate his METAL.
Both are wrong ):
THERE IS NO GAP BECAUSE KEN IS ONE OF THE IMMORTAL GODS OF ROCK OKK
Ken shook off some sweat while at the edge of the stage and it landed on a bird. (ew?)
Also water bottle spray got on a bird and on a bird's Lion-chan.
At the very end they took some pics of the crowd and the band, so that the band were facing away from the crowd to take the picture with everybody. Wonder if I'll ever see it...
THAT'S IT for tonight. There is another day of Ken tomorrow, and I'll have all weekend to write that one and probably won't be so stunned.
So.
RAWR.
