6/03 – Tokyo something Collection Vol. 1 at Shinjuku Holiday (Iori & Jun – don’t know who else)

Finally, my main reason for posting….

Ryan and I went to the Shinjuku Holiday CD shop to buy tickets… it’s attached to the Shinjuku Holiday live venue. And guess who was rehersing for the day (sadie)… As we were walking out, they were hanging out at the front of the building, taking a break (or they were finished).

Just thought I’d tell you.

I post about my miyavi trip. That’s right, I spent a total of about 900 dollars so that I could see miyavi twice. It was amazing. I spent a total of 5 days in California and went to his first and second shows. Both of them were amazing. I kind of wanted to talk about the whole trip but that you bore anybody who is not me…^_^;; so instead I’ve decided to just go over each concert.

1st concert (May 14th @ the House of Blues in Aneheim)

We arrived in Orange county around 1:00pm and got to the hotel at 2:00. Laura and I went straight to the venue to wait in line. Amanda, Jim and Sascha went inside to wait for the doors to open at around 5:00 (doors opened at 7) Once we got inside time slowed down soooooo much. It was killing me! >_<. He started the concert with JPN Pride (surprise surprise) It was really amazing. He came out like a geisha. He had his fan over his face and had his guitar slung over his shoulder. He had a long skirt thing on over his pants so that when he walked it looked like he was floating (which was remeniscant of kabuki preformances). He spent the intro walking around the stage and pausing at pivitol points in the music. When he started singing he threw the fan and it almost ended up in the crowd. The rest of the concert was kind of a blur becuase I was fighting for my life. However, I do remeber the fail that was involved when it came to the audience doing the right para para. I also remember that throghout the entire show he continued o use Mie (negative space used in kabuki acting to convey emotion or deepen meaning). Also, all of his MC’s were in english.

2nd Concert (May 16th @ the Avalon in Hollywood)

Due to unforseen complications with our driver (compliments of Amanda’s dad) we didn’t arrive at the venue until around 2:30-3:00 ish. Again, the doors opened @ 7 and Amanda and Sascha got seating (Sascha has knee problems btw). We got an opportunity to skip the line by eating at the restraunt attached to the venue so we did. Because of the we got to be in the front row. Laura and I were in front of Jim. Jim protected us both throughout the entire concert. Because of this I remember waaay more about this concert. Again, MYV opened with JPN Prde, followed by a couple other songs from This iz the Japanese Kabuki Rock. After which he made a short MC. at some point during the concert the following things happened:

1. Laura and I cheered on Tyko and he pointed at us. Miyavi was not happy…or so it seemed.

2. After an hour and a hlaf of fruitless effort I finally got hige to aknowledge my existence (he even smiled)

3. Miyavi jumped into our side of the crowd twice. Both times he almost killed himself. The first time I pulled him back by his pants so my fingers were in the top hem of his pants! Then I grabbed the back of his calf to keep him up. The second time I went to his back to support him and got his ass by accident so I seized the opportunity and grabbed….I’m sorry Sascha…his sexy Miyavi-ness was too much.

4. Miyavi and Saro had a dance/guitar battle.

5. Miyavi embaressed Tyko during Osan Osan Ore Nanbo. He made his voice too sexy and Tyko couldn’t imitate him.

6. Miyavi said that he is going to “Crush V-Rock”. (He believes visual-kei music and  bands are no longer progressing like they should be and therefore aims to rebuild VK as something new.) Admirable thought if I do say so myself. Of course generalization is bad.

7. Ryo smiled at my awful attempt to dance during aho matsuri.

8. Substitute DJ, DJ Tailspin did his little solo remix thing while the rest of the KVK BOIZ changed. re-mixes included but are not limited to senor, senora, senorita, Freedom Fighters, and Pop is Dead.

9. Upon returing from his costume change Miyavi was adorned with a bandana of epic proportions and sexy emo pants.

It was an amazing concert that ended in him telling us how much he loves us. Someone had organized a mass audience signing of a poster that said “We love Miyavi” on it. He was touched and made me cry. That reminds me, the front row was much more sucessful at the para para this time around. I think (and this may be my own vanity) it was becuase Laura and I knew what we were doing. Yoshiki turned out to have been at the 2nd show but we left too early and missed him. If I forgot anything I’ll include it later but I think that’s all.
