Last Saturday, 4th January 2014, was Tokyo Mosh Pit Vol 2. There were a total of 5 bands playing at Shibuya AX that night, but I don't really care for the other bands because I was only there for lynch. This was quite an emotional live for me because it's my last time seeing them in a long time. I think I got used to seeing them so often (every month), that I've been spoilt by it and now when I can't get to see them anymore, I feel so hollow.
They opened to JUDGEMENT which was a pleasant surprise because it's been a loooonnnggg time since they played that song and a really long story how important that song is to the band. I was happy singing along to it because it was my first time seeing them play it. Yusuke was really cute that night ^^ I didn't bother much about headbanging because I just really wanted to watch them play. They played their typical short set list - The Fatal Hour Has Come, -273.15C, All This I'll Give You, VANISH, INVINCIBLE (glad they did, one of my favorite live songs), I'm sick b'cuz luv u, MIRRORS, pulse_, NIGHT.
Mid-way during their set, I couldn't see AK because the girl infront of me was so tall, I just tilted my head, and he was so funny. He saw me and stopped playing his bass for a little bit and just stared at me. Then after that, he continued while giggling to himself. He was so funny. I was actually giggling to myself as well. lol Then after that, we exchanged a couple of smiles. It's been like this lately at their lives after I met him.
Hazuki invited BORN's Ryoga (no care) out to sing pulse_ which actually kind of annoyed me, but oh well. I feel like he butchered the song :/ Like I already said so many times, I don't really like visual~ bands. I just can't take them seriously.
When they were playing NIGHT, I was already tearing up because it meant that their set was going to end. I was trying so hard to hold back the tears because Yusuke... thankfully, I did. I was happy Hazuki kept going to the left side of the stage because that was where I always stand. So that means I got to see him a little more for the last time.
When they ended their set, I just walked out of the hall and smoked a little and left Shibuya AX not long after that. I was actually tearing so much on the walk home. I can't believe how much I actually do love them. Makes me feel so pathetic. :/
On Sunday, 5th January 2014, there was a metal special going on at Shibuya O-West. "Metallic Beauties"if I remember correctly. DEATHGAZE was one of the three bands playing at that live, that's why I decided to go. They were the first band up, so it was nice (like lynch. the day before), I didn't have to wait too long. They played for about an hour and they were good but I think they were way better in Nagoya, the last time I saw them at Club Zion. They played half of their newer stuff and half of their older stuff. I can't be bothered to remember the setlist to be honest, haha. But I really enjoyed Disgusting Eye.
Ai didn't look like he was enjoying himself at the end of the live when all the other bands came out to perform together. He was just drinking hot chocolate while the other bands were talking, lol. Was cute though. I thought it was cool they covered each others' songs and that there were 3 guitars playing at the same time, and of course 3 singers taking turns to sing parts of the song... I couldn't see what was going on with the bass but I think only one bass and the other members of the bands were standing around the stage. I was still a little upset on that day, so I didn't enjoy myself that much. Still, was nice seeing DEATHGAZE again.
And while watching the other bands, I've come to the realisation that I only really like bands from Nagoya, well, except THE NOVEMBERS. I'm planning to come back to Japan in summer just so I can go to Nagoya again with Yuri one last time before she heads back to the U.S. and also, to see lynch. again. *fingers crossed* they have a tour in Japan during summer.
