So on Wednesday, I finally got to see lynch. again after 4 months of missing them. It was their last live at Shibuya AX since it's going to close down in May. I was having major butterflies before the show started, I always have butterflies on the day of their lives but this time it was really, really bad. Like the feeling you get when you can feel a lump in your throat and you just want to puke bad. Thankfully, my pocket wifi arrived just before I left home, so I was texting Yuri and baby sis the entire time, they made me feel so much better.
I kind of already knew that this live was going to be a long one since they are going to release it on DVD soon, so I was pretty excited and also, because they're playing new stuff. Weirdly, there were wayyyyy more people at this live. Half of them were guys. When I went into the hall, it was so packed. The most packed I've ever seen for lynch.
So... I decided to stand somewhere in the middle because I really just wanted to see them play, I wasn't intending of moshing or headbanging. But when the lights went off, the crowd became fucking violent, I got pushed all the way up to the second row, infront of Yusuke. Before even the live started, I was already pissed. -__-
They opened to their new Introduction from the new album, followed by GALLOWS, NIGHT, I'm sick,b'cuz luv u. and all the fast paced songs... I think I was the only one not headbanging. Yusuke already noticed me during the first song. It was right where we left it... I wasn't sure he would remember but when he saw me, he opened his eyes bigger and smiled at me. At that moment, I knew I was going to be awkward for the next 2 hours.

The backdrop for this live was really good. First it was the lynch. logo and it changed in between songs, can't wait to watch it on DVD. I was happy when they played GREED because it's my favorite from the new album, so I was singing along to it, 永遠に永遠に、 and like I said got awkward cos as I was singing, Yusuke was looking at me and everytime we had eye contact, I became nervous and I will forget the lyrics. -__- Reason why I don't want to stand in the front, especially infront of Yusuke. And when they were playing ENVY, he was singing it and straight on staring at me. Awkward.
But... after ENVY, I died on the inside because they played
an illusion! It's my favorite favorite from them so I was soooo happy singing along to it. I've been dying to see them play this live. Yusuke wasn't looking now, so I looked at him, he looked so cute singing along to it as well. After that, when I heard the beat to THIS COMA I squealed and fangirled so hard. It's another of my favorite favorite from them. The entire crowd was so quiet that Yusuke noticed me squealing and he just smiled at me. I was so embarrassed but so fuckin' happy. For this song, I didn't care if he was looking, I was happily singing along to it and looking at Hazuki. My eyes would shift between Yusuke, AK and Hazuki. Sometimes I'll look at Asanao and Reo too. But during this song, Yusuke was looking still but I didn't bother anymore.
When they played BE STRONG, there was foam falling it was so pretty to see. I think they wanted to make it look like it was snowing. After that, they played PHOENIX which I didn't really care about. And the rest of the live was a blur to me because I got so awkward with Yusuke, all I can remember is people moshing and me being annoyed having to shift my eyes and turn my head to Hazuki so I could enjoy the concert. At one point it was even more awkward because AK noticed me also (we met before right?), and was staring, so I got even more awkward and shifted to Yusuke, who was also staring and I was so pissed, I just stared at Hazuki.
While waiting for them to get on stage again for the first encore, I was texting Yuri and telling her how pissed I was. Thank god for her and wifi. When they took the stage again, they changed out of their clothes into the merch except for Hazuki. So as usual, he will give some long speech... And during that time, things got awkward with AK. I was looking at Hazuki but I felt someone staring at me so I turned to look directly at AK, and when I caught AK staring at me, he immediately looked the other way. I was just... annoyed at this point. So I didn't care and continued texting Yuri. "I want to slap ak so bad, as I'm typing this he's looking at me." Yuri's reply made me laugh so hard because she said "then smile :D, like ;D" I started laughing, so I covered my mouth because I didn't want people to think I was crazy? The moment I looked up, AK was still looking at me and laughing as well. It was pretty hilarious, that scenario.
After that it was a consent blur again, I can't concentrate on their songs because I couldn't stop feeling awkward. Their encore was the usual songs, UNTIL I DIE, Discord Number. They played ADORE twice back to back though, which kinda made me pissed because I got pushed around in the pit. After they ended their encore with TIAMAT, I decided to move out of the pit because 1. pissed with two assholes named Akinori and Yusuke 2. the crowd was just crazy and it was hard to breathe.
They closed to A GLEAM IN EYE. I was so happy about that too! They mixed it up with the album and single version. I was in peace singing along to it since I was far from the front. I've never wanted to be at the back of the crowd for them ever but things just got so bad I can't really enjoy myself with just their music.
sidenotes : Hazuki looks so good with this hair and he was wearing contact lenses. He looked so cute during this live :3 I actually really love AK's dreadlocks as well but without the bandana. He looks fine too with it, but cuter without. Yusuke took off his makeup for the encores. I wonder why too? But he looks much better without. Hazuki brought up the Daruma things again. -__- Also, one more reason why I don't ever like standing in the front because Hazuki spits water at the crowd... I don't want to be drenched in his spit but I had no freakin' choice. A little of his spit landed on my face. -___-
And... this was my 7th time seeing them.
I'm annoyed with two of them but happy nonetheless, end of the day I am happy. And even more so because they played my favorite songs. I hope they play OBLIVION and RING on the other dates.
I already have planned out some of their other lives I'm going to, Nagoya, Saitama and Sendai. I don't know if I'll add any more dates but we'll see.
