Felt kinda weird, since I don't really know that much of their stuff (I don't even KNOW how many albums they have, except that I probably have less than half of them), although half the show was the new album (every song from it, in fact), which I mostly recognized (although I much prefer the older stuff -_-;). A few older songs were thrown in, mostly in the encores (after SEXUAL xxxx! he said 20年前の曲だった, heh). I had to cheat & look up a couple songs I didn't have (SVotB & ME&YE)... -_-; Oh well. 武道館 wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be- there weren't any screens like at Tokyo Dome, which kinda sucked, but even way the hell at the back, we could see everyone on the stage fairily well... got some 7x binoculars, too, which were mildly helpful (I keep forgetting that the Nx is by area, so it's really only magnifying by √7 (2.65x) in each dimension :P")... So seeing KR there shouldn't be too bad. Oh, and apparently that's gonna be SEVENTY FREAKIN' SONGS. o_O;

Sat next to a woman in her 40s or 50s, who was even doing the little fangirl arm movements every once in a while, which was rather amusing. And I saw more foreigners there than I've seen at any other show I've been to here so far (it's possible there were more at Gackt, but that was A) at Tokyo Dome (i.e. a lot bigger), and B) 2 years ago, so I don't remember the crowd demographics anymore)... Overall, a good show, I guess, although I wish I could've seen 'em earlier (like, oh, 10 years ago?), since that's what most of the stuff I have/know/like is from... Oh well. Maybe their next album will be better. :P"

Anyway, tomorrow & Monday are both J days! ^___^ And I hope the ATMs are open, 'cause we need to order tix for all the April J shows & the Feb Oblivion Dust show soon, & pay for the KR tickets in the next couple days, and I'm down to 11 yen... x_X;

edit: And God DAMNIT, the Luna Sea hand towels are sold out. -_-; That was one of the things I most wanted, but they didn't have them at the booth we were at, & the line for the main one was ridiculously long, so we opted to look online. And now that Girl is, they're gone. And apparently, they sold out WHILE she was looking -_-;

edit 2: And oh yeah- the line at Krispy Kreme was only 10m after dinner tonight, so we got a dozen (And they even gave us a fresh, warm one while standing in line!). Seriously, every other time I've passed there it's been 40-70m or more. So yeah, donuts. Mmm...
