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 8th
– 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.
