Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well I ended up standing in line for three and half hours in the cold. My feet and hands were pretty much numb. Then me and my friends ended up meeting people. We talked and joked around, then when time was actually moving faster we finally ended up inside. I bought my t-shirt first and then went to the stage area. We're packed like sardines. When the first band came on, I was kind of near the stage and had a good view. Then the second band came on and the next thing I know, some a*****e blocks my view. I told him nicely to move twice, then I cussed at him and tried to push him away. He wouldn't budge. So after that band was done perfoming, Diru finally came on. Oh I forget to add in, I heard Shinya, Die and Totchi doing warm ups while waiting in the freaking cold. Anyway, as soon as GSD started everybody went crazy. Then Kao just had to raise his arms up. Everybody was pushing back and forth. I was ok for 10 minutes, then I couldn't see Diru anymore. I got a glimpse of Kyo and Die. 15 minutes into the show, I got elbowed in the neck twice and almost blacked out. Luckliy my friend saw me and pulled me out of the craziness. As soon as I saw I was near space, I fell to the ground. I was gasping for air and I almost effing died since when I was about to pass out, I almost fell. Meaning I would of gotten trampled on. But later on in the show, we want to the balcony and watched from there. And then we ended up going near the stage again, but it was less dangerous this time. Die looked at me twice and winked. I'll have to finish my report tommorow since Im about to pass out. >.< And my mom is starting to annoy me with you need to get off the computer you have school tommorow. So I'll finish tommorow. Promise. heart

Not really. I was having a horrible 20 minutes. I wanted to see and meet Die, but at least Die did acknowledge me. There were two opening bands, the first one was ok. The second one was horrible. >.< Nobody could understand what he was saying, the beat of the music was horrible and the sad thing was...I understand Kyo way better than this guy. eek Hm, about 8:45, we started having a good time. Diru did a encore and Die with his horrible aim tried to throw a water bottle towards the balcony. It was no where near the balcony. Luckily for me, I got Die's water all over my pretty kimono top which is never going to be washed again. Then me and my friends got more merch, since right before the show started we grabbed a t-shirt. I bought a dog tag, a poster and a cd. I really wanted a hoodie though. crying End results of the concert, Die saw me, I saw him. I almost died, but Die made it worth it. They all kicked major a**. Oh I forgot to add, Kyo put a bucket on his head that said rape me, he also fish hooked too. The funny thing, as soon as he took that bucket off...I hid behind my friend and Kyo saw it. He smirked and laughed at me. Last but not least, Kyo was wearing spider man underwear. No lie. I saw the red trim at the top and he turned around real quick and I saw Spiderman. Then he just tripped. Die was like *blink blink, continues blinking* and Kao was just rocking out. Totchi was throwing water into the crowd and Shinya was drumming away. I could literally feel the drums beating against my chest. It felt weird too. My heart almost melted...Next time around, Im camping out and getting right in front of Dai Dai. heart heart

*giggles*
Spiderman underwear.

I went to the Toronto show last night. It was AMAZING! It was my first concert ever, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We missed Bleed the Dream standing in line. The line was MASSIVE. It was a sold out show. Turns out there's a LOT of fans in the Toronto area. We saw Fair to Midland play though, and they really weren't impressive at all. The crowd mostly stood there staring at them like "wtf is this?". Then they left the stage, and everyone started chanting and pushing "DIR EN GREY! DIR EN GREY!" and then like 15-20 mins later, the music started playing, and the crowd started screaming "KYO KYO KYO KYO" and they came out. I IMMEDIATELY started screaming "KYO-SAMA! KYO-SAMA! AISHITERU!" They played a lot of songs I didn't know, but they also played almost all of my favourites, so it totally balanced out. But as soon as they started playing, the crowd went NUTS! Everyone started pushing, and then a huge section fell over. I was on the bottom of said pile-up I think I might have killed the poor Japanese girl I landed on! I was the last one back up too, which kind of sucked...But once I was back on my feet I was careful not to fall again. Kaoru spat water out into the crowd, and it hit me in the corner of the forehead, which was cool. I was so happy, they played Agitated Screams of the Maggots, The Final, Dead Tree, Clever Sleazoid, Merciless Cult, Obscure. Not necesarrily in that order mine you, and there were way more, but these are the ones I remember clearly. When they left the stage, we stood their screaming for an encore for fifteen minutes until they came back out. The concert was SO AWESOME! I saw Kyo cutting himself, and I made eye contact with him SIX TIMES! and when he spat water near the end it got in my mouth ^_^ Also when Die threw water it hit me in the face. It was awesome. But I definately learned some stuff for future concerts..1 being dont wear a winter jacket unless you plan to use the coat check cause the heat might kill you, 2 being im never again bringing a purse. at one point I got stuck between to Japanese guys so tightly that I couldnt breathe. I almost threw up on them at one point :S It was crazy though! Kyo was just going nuts, and he put a bucket on his head that said "RAPE ME". The bucket totally made my day. Totchi picked up the mic stand upside down, screamed into it, and then whipped it across the stage, it was AWESOME! and Kyo jumped off his little platform thing, it looked like he landed hard too...Wow I am so pumped today after all this

Hey, does anyone know if Dir en grey will ever play in Ohio? I know they did in FVT, but I couldn't get tickets.... I heard rumors that they'll never play in Ohio for a while due to reports of racial slurs. If this is true... I think I'll go insane.... I'm not old enough to drive to go out of state! crying

I was infornt of the stage too, right infornt of my beloved hero Kaoru.
Up front the whole tim,e nad yes it was packed...poor me could hardly breaht, but it was worth it.
