Finally sitting down to tell you all about this one. Alright, so my second concert in Japan was for The Micro Head 4ns and defspiral. If you don't know them, don't worry about it.
After a harrowing event of trying to get the ticket online through the mobile website and then the PC website (still on the smart phone) and asking my friend IN CALIFORNIA to try and get it for me because it wasn't working for me... I was finally going to see them.
Like the DuelJewel concert, this was at Kashiwa ThumbUp, so I was familiar with the venue and general area. Being the end of November, it was a fairly brisk night, which I enjoyed. I got in line with a German exchange student, oddly enough, and we chatted a little bit, and during the second half of the show I ended up hanging back with her.
TMH4s were a pretty entertaining band but I didn't care too much for their music, just their drummer and bassist from the defunct D'espairsRay. They still had the parapara and sideways head whipping seen at the DJ concert, but it didn't seem as bad. There was also almost no MCing from either band, as opposed to DJ's concert being half MC just about. Another thing again was during the mini breaks was when the audience would banshee-shriek the members' names. One girl in particular screamed the drummer's name and tried her best to not sound shrill; she succeeded but sounded a lot stranger for it. o___o And more desperate.
defspiral came on next and the music was a lot better, but they also have a lot more experience under their belt (and band names...). Again, minimal MCing, and overall a very entertaining night. My German buddy went to get merchandise during the intermission and came back with the little Polaroids. Normally they're $5 but they made these $10 and Lucky pick. Ugh. After the show I went up to snag one of my own and some CDs, and I didn't realize the Lucky-pick part at the time. FORTUNATELY I saw the first picture was of the drummer, which was what I wanted, and after I got scolded I bought it happily. Wasn't even a terribly washed out photo, so obviously they learned how to take Polaroids finally.
Made my way home, washed up, and went to school the next day. ^_____^
