Inoran live at Hamburg

Note: It's 3:40 am now, so please don't blame me for mistakes. I just can't sleep and finally wrote the report.

September 8^th – Narina got up early, got ready for the concert, bought something to drink – and realized it’s a Saturday, so different times for the busses. There also were roadworks in my street, so the bus had to take another route. The nearest stop was about 800m away, I had five minutes. I made it and almost missed the bus to Hamburg. Almost.

Finding the venue wasn’t a big deal – always fascinating to see the Reeperbahn at daylight. The shops and brothels are closed, some drunk guys sleep at the streets and there’s trash everywhere. I saw cats, when I arrived. Two girls, one in a cat-kigurumi with cat-like make-up in her face, the other one wearing cat-ears. And I was like ‘Oh my god, am I right? Seriously?’ Yes, I was. They’ve been to the concert in cologne and, well, I didn’t really like them, but okay. Waiting wasn’t really spectacular until the band arrived at four pm and didn’t get in. headCRASH’s staff was still busy building up the stage, I guess. It took quite a while until they got in – and there was a bar or something across the street, called Lunacy. Of course Inoran had his photographer take a picture of it. (If you don’t know why – Inoran’s a member of Luna Sea, written Lunacy when they started)

There was a meet and greet before the show – and that was the moment I realized I had forgotten my camera. Damn, I could’ve let the staff take a picture. But, well, I was in the front row. Right in front of Inoran, that’s great.

I really don’t know the setlist. But it was an awesome show and it got really hot in there. He almost fell over the bass drum one time; the stage was just too small. Headbanging was fun, but my neck really hurt after it. My fault, I know. I even took my glasses off during headbanging, didn’t want to risk losing them.

Well. This isn’t really informative, but it was more than two months ago. I should’ve done this earlier >.< Anyway, I had a great time. And I still hope for Sugizo to come here with his solo project.

PLUNKLOCK @ Berlin

My first entry in English – don’t ask me why, it fits better I think.

PLUNKLOCK concert was awesome. Well, they can’t top Luna Sea, but still they rocked. We arrived at the venue around 6:15pm, there was no need to hurry cause we had numbers for entrance. After waiting in the cold we finally got in – I’ve never been to K17 before, so it was kinda strange to cross a backyard and going up some stairs before entering the hall.

I was surprised no one stood on Kazukis side, but okay...the others arrived shotly after me and had no problems to come to me.

The stage was just a little higher than our knees and there was no security or something, so we stood right in front of Kazuki. He smiled at us several times during the concert and they all had so much fun even though there were only about 50 people or so.

I’m glad we started rocking and headbanging from the beginning so the people behind us realized that they could also do something.

I don’t know the exact setlist, but they played nearly all of their songs…I remember Breakout, Koe, Ai’iro Regret and ≠ , but there were some more^^

Haruka and Halo were doing Fanservice, that was…wow o_O I know they did that in shows after Berlin, too, so I’m wondering when the Fanfics will show up ;D

We had to wait a looong time for the encore and when they finally came out again, Pinky and Kazuki were changing instruments for fun, they didn’t really play but it was great to see. Halo told us, he dried his hair and we realized they were longer than we had seen before.

After encore we had to wait for the signing session, so Ari, Yuu and me stood close to the bar, drank something and talked with the barkeeper – she even gave us drinks for free, that was great XD We didn’t want to be the first in row, so we waited ‘til most of the fans had left and were the last ones to get our posters signed. Guess Halo was the only one who really was happy about our present – we had a phone strap for each of them. I gave it to him and he looked at it and commented with “CUUUTEE!”, while the others just took a short look.

He promised to come back soon and I really hope they will – this band has a great potential!

Hope I didn’t forget anything…I had a great time (:
