07.08.30. Boxx [meth./sel'm/bis/ MaveRick/Black:List/ Scar./LAM]
this one is emotional and not informative at all.

I didn’t get much sleep and I was very exhausted from the 2 previous lives.
I went to see Gakushuin with Mickey in the morning[seems like a really nice place ;w;],and then 1/2 dead I dragged my ass to Boxx, where people were waiting, lots of gaijin among them.
I had a great ticket number, so I took a place in the 2nd row right side, soon some gaijin pushing Japanese away took place next to me and I was like…omg that must be lost_bride XD

First were MaveRick.
I saw that girl, who threw me out of the front row in Nagoya, and after long hesitation I risked again and asked whether I could take a place next to her and she let me. therefore I ended up right in front of Cray. Cray and kenji looked the same as in Nagoya, but the other 2 had normal make up on the contrary to that weird one in Nagoya where you could not see their face behind it.
MaveRick’s live was quite good, but the atmosphere was just not the same as the 1st time i saw them.
they didn’t seem to have as many fans as in Nagoya, and the venue seemed just too big for them in a way. me and the gyaru were the only ones who had maverick towels, and even the parapara wasn't done properly.
they also didn’t seem as energetic, as confident…it was a bit disappointing.
They played want to be connected, the shout of the darkness, 不自由という事、君を忘れない事。and 回転木馬, and maybe something else xD
It really was a good performance but way too short and I felt sorry for them for the lack of love in Tokyo.

Then came meth. They did throw me out of the front row for that one, they appologised extremely and I was like “no no, it’s ok, I’m sorry die die die”. I understand if they didn’t let me in for MaveRick cause there was less space, but you could easily fit in 10 more people there for meth. XD[/pissitypiss]
So again everyone was growling “かかってこいや!” and the members’ names before the curtains opened, but the fans didn’t last too long and soon it became quiet again. peh, Tokyo.
Then the band went out, they played the Mass, .赤い空、黒い雨and 2 new songs, at least 1 of them they played in Nagoya as well. Great energetic performance, seemes like they've improved during this tour.
weirdly they finished with a slow ballady song. and i mean more ballady than 指先. The song is beautiful and shiki sounded less like Hazuki, like going back to 青く果てない世界 style slightly, but it was weird having to applaud to them going offstage instead of growling xD
the public seemed to enjoy them more than MaveRick, and the atmosphere was better, more energetic.
Yuuya’s dyed bits of his hair from pink to brown, which suited him more.
Can’t say much else, good but short.

Next were Like absolute myself. their fans didn’t do this before, but they probably learned from the meth. fans during the tour and started kakattekoiing and growling and they lasted longer than the meth. fans, untill the band actually came out xD you can see they're a Tokyo band.
Lam were great. They certainly improved a_lot during this tour. somehow their interaction with the audience became much better and they looked more confident but in a less arogant way[/whatever]. They played funny love song and irony dance again and 3 or something more songs.

After their performance I went out for a smoke and bumped into conjux with her sister, I almost died XD I haven’t seen Zero for over a year *w*
Also standing out there I met the main MaveRick fangyaru, who threw me out, and she spoke to me asking whether I’d come to their next live and where I’m staying and how I found out about them…turned out she was quite nice XD;; I feel more comfortable with those front row people now, whatever you call them.

Next were Black:List, I stood slightly further back with Zero cause I didn’t really like Genuine Malice, which was the only song I’ve heard by them. And shoot me, I haven’t realized by that time that it was Tomozo’s band xD
Genuine Malice sounded much better live. also the other songs they played other songs that I liked much more. The band’s good.
It’s a pity they’re gone on hiatus.
Scar. rocked, they played more louder and heavier songs this time, still their music has this lyrical touch to it which sound very fresh compared to the heavier bands…whatever, they were just good XD

When Sel’m came I was in the 2nd row between Tora and Tsubaki. The audience went clapping to Disturbance and there they came.
Since I wasn’t standing in front of Takuma I had a chance to look at the other members better XD Tora dances in a very gay way, sort of like Sulfuric’s Masaki, and at least at that show he had a pissed off face XD; my friends who saw him for the first time said he was very amusing and gay. peh. his singing's gone all professional.
Manji sang along to many songs and had very vivid facial expressions of all sorts, although mostly grumpy, and drummed very energetically/aggressively.
I can’t look at Tsubaki for more than 5 seconds cause there’s nothing my eye can stop on, same shit as with aie or daisuke, he’s looks absolutely like he stepped out of some photoshoot.
Takuma was all cool and didn’t make much eye contact with the audience, more like he didn’t look at the audience at all, he just played the bass and looked like a rock star XD
After disturbance they played:
1.Megalomania
2.gibberish
3.掌の虹 [uoooooooooououououoAWESOME can’t wait for the recording of it ;w;]
4.暁
5.DEVASTATION

The energy was amazing, I’ve never felt anything like this before, they didn’t touch my heart, it’s like they grabbed it and tried to pull it out. it’s the 1st time that I felt this much energy in a live.[they're the only band i can compare to MONO live.]
I started crying during gibberish cause the emotions were just overflowing.
Then they played this unreleased song tenohira no niji. I virtually never like songs from the 1st time I hear them, but this song is so beautiful! I got the impression it’s the best sel’m song I’ve ever heard. It’s ballady and soft, and very touching. i know other fans have also loved it very much.
The next unreleased song is louder and heavier, and it was also quite good.
DEVASTATION was so positive somehow, and it seemed like the band gave everything to the audience and the other way round.

When they went off I stayed crying in the middle of the hall and the tears just wouldn’t stop for ever XD
Sel’m have meant so much to me in the last 2 years and I was sad to find a completely different band this time I saw them and I was even sadder to say goodbye again XD;

When sel’m were over, seemed like 70% of the audience was gone, so we felt really bad for bis, but thank god many people came back when they started playing.
I stood almost in front of Shunsuke and could see the whole band perfectly.
The band went out to the SE, did their usual greeting, and the first song was RIZE. I personally think that was a bad choice cause RIZE seems much more fun when you’re warmed up and they repeat the middle of the song several times, still it was great.
They also played neverland, start, S.S.I, 赤・裸・々 and some stuff I didn’t know/remember.
It was a very sweaty performance XD their songs just ask for parapara, and it is so much fun!! So much jumping is exhausting, like a PE lesson XD
Tsukasa and Shun changed places several times and came forward towards the audience and jumped, Shun had rivers of sweat pouring down from him and Tsukasa was so energetic and moving and interacting with the audience and singing along…[i do think this didn't have a very positive influence on the actual music quality XDD]
Seika smiled a lot and sang along and waved his arms in the air and seemed so happy, it’s so pleasant to watch him [his facial expressions can change so drastically though, it’s scary.]
The whole band is so positive and energetic, you can see they’re enjoying it and that makes the live even better. they fit together so perfectly like no other band.
When they came back for encore they played DAYS. Maru made the audience sing along at some point, which didn’t work so well cause the audience was quite small after all, but you could see how the audience and the band did their best and really enjoyed that.
Bis are just awesome positiveness.

After the live we went to get some merchandising.
meth.'s stand, Sora was the one selling merchandising this time, but the other band members stood behind him talking. I tried asking Sora whether all they had was CDs and photosets but he didn’t understand me at all and seemed annoyed and confused. So I asked Zero to help me and she said exactly the same thing and he understood her >.> my eyeliner was all over my face after I cried and no one told me [I’ve forgotten I used my mum’s fluid eyeliner that day XD;;], I can imagine this was one of the reasons Sora looked at me like I’m a madman XD
they had nothing else so I just got a photoset and had the whole band looking through their wallets for change for my 5000 note. I got autoraphs of them all this time. After I told them how much they rock and how they have to come to Europe[in a couple of years? =_=], Yuuya, Kiru and Shiki all went “yesyesyesyesyesyesyes”.

when we were going out of the hall we saw Yuuya walking around again and he bowed to me and said arigatou gozaimasu. that made me feel warm inside. BLEURGH. kill it.
next time instead of asking them to come to Europe, I’ll just tell Yuuya he owns my heart, my kidneys and all the other organs.

ps: did anyone see Takuma&Yuuya writing about eachother on their diaries? I find the idea of Takuma being Yuuya’s sempai funny.
