It's taken a bit of thought and it feels more significant than it should because this move is almost as big as the ones we'll make in real life. Transition from japanesezombie to slumdogs . I'm still stuck between posting here but I think the more meaningful entries will be there while everything else gets stuck here.
Take it or leave it.
I'd add some people but I've got to get ready for a going away party.

This show single handedly brought dir en grey to shame & I haven't felt this sort of rush/excitement/energy since the d'espairs ray show back in 2005 when they were playing in some gritty little night club. I'm so glad I went & I'm happy you took me
nekorei otherwise I wouldn't have been able to experience it. My neck hurts and I can't move without the strain of muscles creaking out in frustration but it was all worth it. ( live report + image heavy picture content & video clip )

nekorei</lj> It still feels surreal, like it never happened to begin with & it probably sounds like all of those other live reports you shuffle through but it really feels like it never happened. The only thing to signify it ever happened is the aching pain in my bones, the soaked through sweat imprinted in my clothes and the crumpled ticket stowed away in my coat pocket.
The entire trip there it felt like nerves were gradually building up and I don't think they amplified until we had gotten into the actual theater to start running towards the floor to stake a post against the crowd. We got at the theater around five, since we got a late start at two in the afternoon, and stood in line for half an hour until we were directed by security to the LiveNation ticket line only to find out that we were ill informed by the security guard and had to turn back to the original line we stood in. The entire thing was a mess and after they had told us I felt so frustrated for losing out spots in line that I had almost broke out in tears but I managed to suck it up while spitting between my teeth as we retraced our steps.
nekorei</lj> and I ended up by two girls who came from our hometown Bakersfield as well and I had started to talk to them after eaves dropping on their conversation about Gazette. I really liked them because they weren't serious business fans and we made fun of dir en grey and Gazette while we were waiting for the line to move for the next few hours. At seven or eight the doors were finally opened and we had began to shuffle in, breaking through the two separate lines and after I clutched onto nekorei</lj> 's hand we rushed towards the doors that lead straight into the floor. We couldn't get into the mosh that was by the stage because they were only letting a certain amount of people in but we were directly behind the pit near the small wall that separated the small off ramp into the mosh.The opening band The Human Abstract was surprisingly good for what it was worth and I felt bad that they were being overshadowed and under appreciated but it always tends to be that way when you are a small band trying to break through behind a big name. It felt as if it took hours for them to shred through songs and at that point my feet hurt, I was running on nothing but a bowl of cereal and coffee from 8am and nothing but the sheer will to make it through the night.
It wasn't until the banner fell for dir en grey that I really hadn't minded the numbness in my feet and my empty stomach because suddenly the adrenaline kicked in to remind me that I was actually here after months of anticipation. I was finally close enough to where I could see Kyo without feeling as if I were looking at a field of ants from somewhere behind balcony seats.
As soon as the first song played we were pushed and shoved as people tried to get closer and it felt as if I were suffocated in an ocean of writhing bodies where any ounce of fresh breath was a rushing relief until you were completely submerged again. All my focus had been on Kyo, because honestly he was the main point of interest that seemed to bleed out on stage and outshine everyone else, while everyone seemed to just fade out in the shadows. I would occasionally flicker my gaze over to Toshiya but immediately seek Kyo out between the two heads that had been in my way during the entire night.
I tend to make fun of people who cry during dir en grey lives and I never understood why they'd cry because it just never hit but I think for a moment I understood because you just don't get that feeling until you hear it live, when they aren't set up in make-up and told to stand at a certain mark for the camera to become aesthetically appealing. It only happened when Kyo had done his solo during sa bir because he was alone, screaming into the mic and for a second it looked like he was about to break until he picked back up and attempted to home phone. I laughed through it for a split second after glancing towards
nekorei</lj> before directing my attention back towards the stage as the growls died out. The only songs I could remember after fumbling through my brain through the light haze was Sa Bir, Saku, The Final, Dozing Green, Audience Loop Killer, Clever Sleazoid, and Glass Skin.
The high lights had been the solos because Kyo had really shined and people were actually quiet for everyone to hear before they screamed afterwards. I laughed a little during his little shakira belly dances because it was impossible to keep a straight face after remembering the times where Nikki had spammed me about them on myspace. I think during the last portion the crowd had gotten so rowdy that I was separated from
nekorei</lj> due to the mass of bodies trying to reach outwards towards them and at one point I had a girls bunny pack back shoved in my face. I was glad that she had ended up moving at the segments were taller people had crowded me she had offered her spot and pushed me up so I was able to see above the crowd of trees. So not all dir en grey fags are mean bitches.After their performance had came to a close it felt as if it merely happened in seconds and I was almost shocked until the crowd roared up again for an encore and it felt as if they weren't going to come out until I could hear screaming roar in my ear after they came back on stage. The mass got tighter and it felt like one huge orgy because you were constantly being grinded on/touching and I had felt the guy's breath behind me on my head and someone's front connect with my back. At one point I had shoved some guy in a suit back to make certain I hadn't nearly fallen but I think at that point they crowd would have simply tossed me back up like a current.
Once the encore had been over they had thrown out picks, a drumstick, water bottles and frisbees but despite nearly being close to water bottles I hadn't caught a single thing but I don't think I had minded because I would have nearly been mauled. As soon as we found out they weren't tossing anything and had left I had clutched onto
nekorei</lj> 's hand and we stormed out to beat the oncoming torrent of people. We hadn't bought any merchandise because it was too crowded and honestly I was fine going home empty handed because I had the best dir en grey experience to make up for the crappy one I had four years ago. After we got out I went piss in the men's restroom at the nearby Ralphs and we headed back towards the car to head home to knock out from the concert. All in all it was an amazing experience and I am thoroughly pleased because it made up for the previous crappy concert and I gained a little appreciation. I can truly say I'm happy.
