Nafa's Journal

Dir en grey just got beaten up, stripped off their clothes, hands and feet got tied together and tossed in the ocean. Same goes for Miyavi and alice nine,

That's how much Mix Speaker's, Inc owned them.
Edit:
So now the review of the concert.

on monday evening wanted to leve though I was tired and promised my mom, we left early on teh next morning to paris. The drive was actually quite relaxing, we only got lost once but were abe to recover pretty quickly so that went just fine ^___^

After a drive of bit more then 5 hours we finally arrived in Paris where we searched for our garage we wanted to park the car in though that was quite a riot @___@
1) it's hard to read the streetsigns to try to find 'boulevard de la Chapelle" or "Boulevard de Rouchard" if you've never been in Paris.
2) Apperantly there are no rules for the trafic so just bash through if you want to
3) French people don't speak english |:
But finally after some asking with our hands and feet we were able to find the parkinglot we had planned.

once in the parkinglot, :iconsanzatsufiction: and me dressed up in the kigurumi's we made of PaPa and DoDo (the stuffed alter ego's of the vocalists Miki and Yuki)
[link]
My PaPa kigurumi [sorry, still need to make a good picture out of it]
And wore our blue and red contacts like teh Abel and Cain costumes Miki and Yuki had.

Collecting our stuff we went for the hall. There were already some people there and a lot were already off for the signing session which would start around 14:00 (though it was 11:00 by then). Agreeing with teh groups which were already there, we made an arrangement that we would split up in groups and would go one by one to the signing because it was on the other side of paris though we didnt wnat to lose our spot at the concert hall.

Then we got a call. Signing session got canceled because the band lost their make-up and they didn't want to do a signing in their normal clothes and such. Sad indeed... but because of that we WERE in the front of the row ;D

Soon after the announcement, we saw a guy with a green ponytail, no one really noticed because we were talkign and fangirling before a french fan said. 'Wait... was that Seek? (bass)"

I looked a bit closer and first thing I said was. 'It is... IT'S HIM!" So I crawled up from teh floor and sprinted after him in my kigurumi. When I caught up with him I just froze when I saw him. Smiling at me with a small bow i noticed my jaw had dropped the floor anbd quicly I stuttered a "S-sumimasen." before I started running durther down teh street XDDDDDDD
Don't ask we why i did that! XDDDDDD
He went in some cafe down teh street to eat and drink a little before I slowly walked back to the clan and was all like. "I-it... was Seek *_____________*"
Appearantly he was followed by S (drum) but I didn't notice taht al all! XD

then teh next awesome thing came. Two vans parked down teh street (again we didn't pay any wattention. Come on, Centre of Paris, vans are everywhere) and all of the sudden we saw a whole bunch of asian people before we recognized the bandmembers! They all had different haircolors then the ones we knew *laugh*
Mikiwent from darkbrown/black to red O_o
Yuki went from brown/red back to blonde XD
Keiji was some kind of ninja and NO ONE SAW HIM! (Though I have half of his face on a picture I took) and went from blue to brown/blonde
and Aya...
Oh BOY! I LOVE YOU! XDDDD
his hair went from long red to short and awesome red/brownish/greyish haircut *__* Though we didn't saw that either back tehn because he was wearing a beanie XDDD
[link]
Miki and Yuki., Miki dragging his PINK Suitcase. Okay... I never expected THAT XD

[link]
Yuki all oblivious 'Huh? What's going on here?"

[link]
Aya was the same "Lol? Fans already?" I didn't think they expected fans already waiting for over 10 hours in front of the hall.

[link]
Seek walking back from the cafe to walk in teh hall aswell. Only the green ponytail XD;;; sorry, Nafa was tired.

Then some minutes past again before Miki and Yuki walked out again to go around Paris I think. [link]

in teh meantime we had soem fun with teh handpuppets we had made. having fun with the PaPa and Eve Phoenix I had made (alter ego from Maya in the last monster era)[link]

[link]
Me finishing teh gift bags we had made for the members.
[b]Miki's bag[/b]: Postcard from holland with message, chocolates, dutch liqrish, set of porcelin clogs (very small lol, don't worry), a picture of us cosplaying them.
[b]Yuki[/b]: A mask from his most favorite Pokemon XD our dutch fail flag with messeges and drawings on it [link] , liqrish, chocolates, the clogs and a postcard with a message.
[b]S[/b]: chocolates, chips, clogs, postcard
[b]Keiji[/b]: a blue cake candle (the 19th so the day before was his birthday), a potcard with a message, a hats because he likes those, chocolates and clogs
[b]Seek[/b]: Dutch waffles, clogs, postcard with message, chocolates, chips
[b]Aya[/b]: Small bottle of whiskey because he loves to drink, chocolates, postcard with message, clogs.

Miki and Yuki returned, but the door didn't open as fast as they wanted to. Juui (sanzatsufiction) grabbed teh first two bags and handed them to Yuki who smiled and thanked her. [link] before she came back with teh next four bags. He tapped Miki's shoulder and looking at him like "Oi... take some too. This is too many!" [link]
And another random picture of Miki <3 [link]

Finally the door opened and they went inside. We again needed some time to do random stuff because we still needed to wait for several hours. Playing games with other fans and such [link]

Around 6, Machi and I went to get some food while Juuikept our spot in teh waiting line. After some bitching because the french staff in a fast food restaurant refused to help us or did it wrong liek 80 times, we finally could walk out but when we turned aroudn we saw the sky was GREY. so not evening dark blue. BUT GREY. Machi and I were afraid because we couldn't see anyone on teh street and thought at first it was RAINING SO BAD that is was also making some sort of fog. When we opened the door it felt and smelled terribly. When we finally could find some people we saw that teh appartment down teh street was on FIRE. It was weird though because there were no alarms ringing and people were all... calm... it looked some kind of scene from Silent Hill or something XD! So scary XD

We found Juui and sat down to eat and wathing how firefighters and policemen arrived to save the building.

Then it was 7 oclock. machi and I quickly went bacl to the car to dump our stuff and went back to stand in line wiht our tickets ready. At 8 the door opened and we sprinted down the hall to teh frontrow. I lost my feather fanb I needed for some of teh furitsukes so once we were in place I quickly asked if Juui could hold my spot so i could go and find my fan. Walking back I was lookign around before I heard 'apa! Papa!" I was all like 'Wtf? Who the hell brought his father along to teh concert?" before I turned around and saw 4 girls standing in front of me with my fan and handing it to me, saying I lost it during my sprint. That's when it hit me I was cosplaying as PaPa XDDD

Back in place we had soem fun with other fans (fans hugging me because I was PaPa or kissing my beak because they thought I was cute @__@) a fan was standing in front of me and I asked if I could lay my towels, fan and PaPa handpuppet on teh small piece of stage in front of her and she didn't mind at all so I had my hands free for the concert until there was a song where we needed one of those three.

Some small soundchecks before Mach Stars Instrumental started polaying. The intro of the last mini album called WONDERFUL TRAVELING. Miki and Yuki came ons tage....
IN THEIR LITTLE ANGEL AND LITTLE DEVIL COSTUMES! *__*
I was afraid they would come in teh bopring black suits and hoping they would be wearing teh Wonderful Traveling ones but THESE ARE SO MUCH BETTER! Their very fist costumes <33333333333333333

The dance they did was very uptight and they didn't smile. So i was kind of scared that tehy ddn't liek it D: Soon enough S appeared who was wearing a mask so you couldn't see if he enjoyed it. Though when Aya and Keiji hit thestage, it was obvious they did. Widely smiling as well for Seek theyt started with teh next song.

I don't really remember the setlist anymore. I know they played
- JUNKSTORY,
- little star,
- YOU♪愛♪メッセージ (had an amazing furitsuke and Miki was dancing way too cute with that teasing cat grin on his lips),
- 宇宙色パラソル (Was so cute how Yuki was all dramatic and putting all power in his voice and movements while Miki just kept standing tehre with a black umbrella above his head, and singing softly),
- ☆彡Station (Was with teh little towels and also a very fun and hyper furitsuke),
- MONSTART FAMILY ( Really adored it when Miki and Yuki parted form eachother on teh stage that teh audience did so aswell. It almost looked like Moses was trying to split a sea of people open XD PLUS PAPA AND DODO!!! >XD )
- Innocent world (Adore this furitsuke but also most likely because Juui, Machi and I have so many memories on this song. I noticed they didn't do teh gun movement and that the three of us were the only ones doing that @___@ )
- GO! GO! Bremen! They walked up in a polonaise and then did teh entire dance. I laughed so hard about Aya and Keiji because they were REALLY into it XDDD and the entire audience danced along of course)
- 青いモンスカー (This song was one hell of a raging song! Everyone was so hyped up, smiling, jumping and just running around. Keiji and Aya did a guitar play together which looked amazing)
- CRASH CLOVER! (my most fav from teh latest release. HEADBANG TIME! And Jump! XD Lol. it was fun to see Seizure!Yuki live)
- Friday Night Busters (Miki made signs with the "Clap!" "Jump" and "Headbang" on it! I thought they would never do this song BUT IT WAS AMAZING!)
- Space Hunter (FIRE! PERFECT HIT XD)
- MONSTIME (Ohh Seek singing! it was so much fun XDDD Miki and Yuki covering their ears when seek did so <33)
- Thirteen (OMG! EVERYONE WAS JUMPING LIKE MAD!)

Now some thigns i cant link to teh songs. Yuki did a little MC with introducing teh band members. I really doubt they ever got cheers from fans like us. (even so bad that Miki had to shush us through teh mic) and after another song Yuki came close to teh edge of the stage before he started almost in a whisper "Haaa----" and everyone knew what to do right away. So the entire audience sang Happy Birthday for Keiji who was all surprised and like "Woah?! For me?!" before the entire audience started clapping and shouting "Keiji, keiji, keiji, keiji!" so he tapoped his mic. 'one tsu sree, one tsu sree." XD And "Test test" before he said. 'arigatou... Ma cherie?" like he was almost afraid he said 'ma cherie' wrong XD. I have NEVER seen Aya with his mouth closed XDDDD, Keiji looked gorgeous without teh massive amount of white paint on his face. SEEK! OH MAN. NEVER EVER have I see him walking around on stage in the dvd's. Well.. walking to his place, maybe waling to teh front once. BUT IN PARIS. I have never seen him SMILE that much! continuous smile! Plus he JUMPED AND RAN ALL OVER THE PLACE <3! Keiji was very active aswell. I think I have seen him up front for 20n times or something XD
What killed me though was YUKI's MOUSTACHE XDDDD
He had the really thin, barely visible two V's XD Like he was some kind of maffia boss XD!!!! The little sweet boy had a moustache! XDDD

[link]
Yuki : )

[link]
Miki XD

[link]
Keiji Seek and Miki

[link]
Aya

[link]
Yuki and Miki awww <3

[link]
KEIJI WAS LIKE THIS THE ENTIRE CONCERT UNLESS HE WAS RAGING LIKE MAD ON HIS GUITAR XD

[link]
All 6 in a V for a bow.

But then... with teh last song... They had two fags with the MSI logo on it and Miki was pullign one of teh flags while singing like he wanted to toss it into teh crowd. He let go of it and walked of stage. So a lot of us were like 'Wtf is wrong?" Before....

....

....

....

HE WALKED ON STAGE WITH OUR FLAG! OUR DUTCH FLAG!
My jaw dropped down to the floor, before I finally realized IT WAS OUR FLAG and started screaming like one of those american woman on the oprah winfrey show. "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GAAAAAAAAWD!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAA' XDD i am so ashamed by now XD;;;

Seek walked around with it, Keiji aswell before they went of stage. Except for Yuki wo walked around for a few more minutes with our flag, cheering and laughing
[link]
[link]
here you can see a bit of Yuki's ugly moustache XDDD

And that wa sthe end of it *sigh* I was able to catch Miki's waterbottle (I think in total only like 5 things got tossed into the crowd)

I didn't buy any merchendise because it was horribly expensive and no matter how much I love em, I'm not going to buy a tshirt for 25 euro's. Sorry D; It'll end up like a shirt I'm going to sleep in anyway like all the others I have.

And then we drove back to the netherlands : D

The pictures are so small because I don't want anyone to steal them. I had a hard time making these snap shots, specially in teh hall itself and I already noticed with my dir en grey pictures that everyone was claiming them which I thought was kind of pathetic. So the high res ones are only for me and friends.

Nafa, over and out.
