Dir en grey LIVE reportsBack from Germany; heres my experience~
I AM a happy person.
FridayI left for the airport at 1am! And was travelling all night, my flight was at 6am, although I was travelling alone, it didn’t bother me at all – in fact I was looking forward to it for some mad reason.
At stanstead I met
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
dnabstract; he didn’t recognise me from the kagxdespa’s concert last year, until I jogged his memory XD but I did have very different hair.
Arriving at the hostel I met
mousemafia; we left
dnabstract at the hostel and went to Neo Tokyo where we met up with
shan__jisatsu,
sefie_sama nemesae,
mizerable_unmei and some other peoples~
After we went to a goth/punk shop that was pretty cool, but I didn’t buy anything.. despite wanting so many pairs of shoes *_*
Later we travelled back to shonefield airport to pick up
__kabuki_queen~
Friday evening me and
mousemafia ate kebabs and slept XD we were both knackered o_o; then later on
bonhwa_seong and
13th_deity arrived ♥
And I believe I very briefly met
xwind_up_heartx who travelled with you guys?
SaturdayWoke up to find
zerii and
hatayo and their friend Tara in our room. We wernt sure who we were sharing the room with so it was lucky that it was fellow DEG fans.. not only that, but from UK as well =D which was cool. Also met
luurize and
danars!
Started queueing at around 11am; met
sleazoid and said a quick hello (I did wanna spend more time with you but we were in different queues T_T) I also saw
venn but didn’t get to say hi, and I looked out for
kisou but couldn’t find you T____T>
Briefly saw
czol but couldn’t really say hi ;;
Ok so queueing was extremely boring, me and
luurize ended up making a video of meeting Die… featuring
dnabstract as Die.. only she accidently deleted it :(
bonhwa_seong did film us a bit.. talking about dying of boredom, which can be found in her ZOMG ILLIGIALZ video footage
here DIR EN GREY - Berlin 28.05.06The support band Ostkreuz were pretty good, and kinda amusing XD! I was annoyed with the booing and the chanting for Dir en grey during their performance though.. and I heard Kaoru was too because he chose them. But the GDS started and it was amazing~
I was being slammed up against the fence the whole time, with a perfect view ok Kyo. Although it killed me I enjoyed every minute of it XD. Kyos new piercing was a shock though.. I was like.. what the FUCK is that XD. But I really like it now – it suits him, And im totally loving his industrial. [industrial whore ♥]

I went MAD when Red..[EM] started! Looked over at
bonhwa_seong who was just behind me and started screaming. You have no idea how much I’d hoped to see Red..[EM] live!
During Itoshisa Wa Fuhai Nitsuki; Kyo was damn hot! He came out onstage with his hat on and the sexy dancing.. the pole dancing.. is it me or did the heat rise? XD
The new song started with the cute.. very high pitched ‘oooooooh’ Kyo did at the beginning. The whole song is superb, it has a kinda rap in it that reminded me so much of
Egnirys Cimredopyh +) an Injection, I doubt anyone else agrees, I’m not sure why because the song itself sounds nothing like that XD. But its bloody good, has a good beat to it.
I watched Shinya a lot too.. hes addictive to stare at @_@ amazed by his l33t drum skillz XD
Oh and before I forget – kyos trail of SNOT. Yes me and Juu both saw it! It dripped from his nose and went down his mic wire.. HOW CAN THAT MUCH SNOT COME OUT OF A MAN THAT LITTLE?
Anyone else notice Kaorus hair growing bigger with every song? And Dies undercut makes him a peanut head =D
But yeh after the concert I was officially dead/bruised/dehydrated and I met up with
shan__jisatsu __kabuki_queen nemesae and
mizuzu, caught the Neo Tokyo night bus and arrived in Cologne at around 7am.
SundayLooking for our hostel we met
mercilesscult noface Dario and Mato then caught some trains until eventually finding it, where we couldn’t check in until 2pm anyway so we took showers put our luggage in the lockers and went to have breakfast and queue.
The queue was pretty long as we didn’t get there until 3ish;
sideshow_emma I looked out for you everywhere, including after the concert too ;; where were you dammit?!
Kias friend
gh0ulie_spo0n came and joined us and we then went to the front of the queue to join Juu, Tasja and Kias friends.
Behind us was this bloke that was this amazing hot Die look alike, he was called suitcase… to our knowledge anyway XD but his gf looked like a fucked up parrot o_O; oh and Kia had an obsession with Fred the security guard, his authority, his horn, his uniform and his hand movements you miss him don’t ya
__kabuki_queen? XD
The girl who bought her asian bf off of eBay walked past us several times much to our amusement I must say. Buy it now price, 40$? She had him whipped XD; seriously though, she might as well had been walking along with a huge neon light arrow flashing at her and a sign saying ‘LOOK MY ASIAN BOYFRIEND’ XDDD;

The mosh pit was NOT mosh pit. An actual death pit! I bought some merchendice before the concert and then after being in the mosh pit for a bit, me and
gh0ulie_spo0n decided to go up to the balcony.
Hearing the new song again was amazing~ I can remember it so well that’s how catchy it is!
And UMBRELLA omg I went mad XD umbrella live = the win!
Oh this german girl called me a bitch for looking at the stage before dir en grey started playing.. LOL I was like.. er.. k? XD
But yeh not much to report, it was as awesome as ever and there are tons of reports online more details ^_^
After the concert I looked out for
sleazoid and
sideshow_emma again but couldn’t find them ._. decided to buy more merch – big mistake, the pushing for the merchendice was worse than the mosh pit NO JOKE. I felt the need to get the security guard to pull me out at the table after I had purchased my belt ‘-‘ I swear half my bruises were from buying merchendice and not during the concert XD;
We waited around outside chatting, hangin out etc then Diru drove past us in their silver car thingy; I jus sort of nodded at it but loads of people were screaming going mad @_@’’ ffs. Shinya looked dead though, leaning on the window.
Monday (meeting DIR EN GREY) Well after getting up at around 2pm we decided to go site see!
Lets see, we started off in Mcdonalds.. went to Mcdonalds, pretty sure there was a trip to Mcdonalds.. and ended in Burger King.. no wait BURKSHIR CLING.
Kia and Juu bought condom jackets because it was pouring down with rain, though it was on and off, then we visited the cathredial thingy. On our way there Kia stopped and wa like ‘its Die’
I waslike.. eh? Die? Where?! N I LOOK AROUND TO FIND Kyo stood next to us, he looked at me as soon as I looked at him, so I quickly looked away with a ‘IM NOT A FAN – HONEST’ attitude *hides clever sleazoid bag*
Kaoru and Toshiya weren’t there, only Die, Kyo and Shinya.
In the church they were walking behind us at one point and we could hear them speaking, then they walked past and laughed at the fact we were taking photos of the church o.O nodded and smiled and walked off. Noticed they had a lot of screaming fangirls and stalkers which is just not needed =/
Soon after we got distracted by a LEGO SHOP! Oh yes! LEGO for teh win ♥ Kai built a castle and I built a car with Kaoru in it to go with it. Master piece if you ask me. After spending like 5 millions hours playing with lego, trying everything on (yeh lego shops sell helmets and swords and PIRATE HOOKS) but not buying anything we made a went and decided to look for an off license. Dario was after dinky doughnuts so that was on our list of ‘what to search for in cologne’
We did encounter some rather large bread and large ham to go with it. Like.. BIG bread. Much bigger than England bread XD
After a lot of walking around we went back to the hostel minus doughnuts and alcohol.
But alas, we went back to the station and found a supermarket where we stocked up on booze =D and then to Pizza Hut ♥
That evening was spent getting drunk, talking about Totchi clones, Kaorus growing hair, buying your asian BF online, and I do believe we played human-tetris outside the church where we met Diru XD OH and Mr fungus wants to go to the airport XD some mad kiddy porn program.. yeh.. best not ask..
I got totally wrecked and passed out on my bed, then I remember waking up drunk still the next morning XD
We noticed the rules on the back of the door in our room, and yes it wasmore of a check list than rules.. we managed to break every single one.
TuesdaySaid goodbyes and I flew off back to England ;_;
