Yesh. August 19th. It's totally going down as one of the best days EVER.
Family Values Tour. I went for one band, and one band only. Dir en grey.
I could have gone alone, but I was feeling nice one day, so I told my sister about it. I'm actually really glad I did. Korn would be there, she likes Korn, and they played last. They played last, therefore we stayed ALL DAY.
Thank god for Gaia. Someone in the Room 304 guild came up with a board for diru fans going to an FVT show to meet up. And it worked. Yesh, it did.
I'm glad I don't always listen to my parents.
We get there around 1:30 p.m., get out of the car, get a short lecture from my parents "Don't get drunk, stay together."
Like we're gonna stay together. HA.
Me and my sis find our seats. I get up, take the cell phone, and call Nic. I didn't know her name, and I just got directions around the booths and all until they saw me. So then I met Nic, Alex, Joker, and Aki. Cool Diru fans. So the day is going good. I buy the new single, Vulgar, and Kisou at the F.Y.E. booth, and get my wristband that will let me meet two of the members of Diru. But we don't know exactly who. I'm praying for Shinya, of course.
So we walk around, we go to our seats in the loge, but I just sat with them 'cause there are a LOT of empty seats. We talk some, yada yada. Apparently they've been stalking this "Really cute guy". Yeah. Those words pretty much mean shit to me, so I'm all "Oh, okay, whatever." More walking, more talking, we decide to go up to the lawn just for the helluvit. They spot the "Really cute guy." so whatever. I think it was Aki that finally decided she was going to talk to him, and we had to folow her, yup yup. So they talk, the "Really cute guy" doesn't speak much English, but his friends do. So we made friends.
Enter Keisuke*The Really Cute Guy*, Tomo, and Junya.
They're here from Japan for a while, and turns out, they like Diru too. Yesh. More Diru fans. We all discuss music, the guys try on all the girls jewelry and other accesories *which was hilariously adorable*, everyone starts torturing Nic's poor lion backpack by making it appear to be insanely inappropriate, but it's funny anyway, lots of pictures... .*grr*
And Alex showed us how she hid her nose ring from her mom.... XD yeah.
But it was funny! I pulled out my CD insert from Macabre, and Tomo starts singing kr[cube] and I'm happpppy! 'cause it's cute!
We did leave them for a little bit to go to our seats when Diru came on.... which was OMG. OMG. OMFG.OMFGOMFGOMFG. I'm flipping out, slapping my arm to make sure I'm awake, and OMG. OMG. Really. I just keep going "Oh my fucking god, its really fucking Diru. Oh my god, it's really fucking Shinya. Holy fuck." Yeah. That's pretty much all I could say. But they start to play and I'm all happy nervous, oh my fucking god it's real, and I'm yelling along the lyrics I know, but I have to hold my hand up to keep the sun out of my eyes so I can see them.... *sigh* it was AMAZING. Kyo is... amazing. Yeah, he was getting at it with his self inflicted injuries and all, took off his shirt, *A Kyo fangirl must have just died right now*, and towards the end *how the hell does he move like that?... that's amazing* he dumps this bucket of water *a white pickle bucket, ya no?*on his head, and just stands there for a moment with the goddamned bucket just there on his head, and I'm cracking up 'cause it's so damn CUTE. But I wouldn't ever DARE tell him that.
As soon as Kyo left the stage, we frickin RAN to find where we were supposed to go to see them, and we asked the guy with the megaphone where to go, 'cause we already had our wristbands, and we're running, and some random guy's all "Who're you running to see?" We're all "Dir en grey!" and that FUCKER says "Aw, they're losers."
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. DIRU IS LOVE.
We actually got there pretty fast... but had trouble running down the hill of gravel.... and we were all wearing skirts too.... yeah... but we got there and were ALL OUT OF WATER. So we wait and we wait, and we realized we were REALLY glad we ran 'cause that line was getting REALLY long. But there wasn't any way any of us were going to leave to get water because then we'd lose our place in line... but the girl next to me in line had actually met Mana at AX... *le sigh* and she says he smells like roses. REALLY STRONG SMELLING ROSES. But that's okay. 'cause roses smell nice. Not like "poopoo" as what's his name likes to say....
And another girl behind us was asking what they played after saku... she's writing an article on the show for www.direngrey.co.us.... that's cool.
So we wait and we wait, dying of thirst, and we all plan this cute "Aishiteru!!" thing, and my heart just starts beating faster and faster, and then they finally show up, and I didn't see who went in first, but I'm like "OH MY FUCKING GOD IT'S SHINYA!!" Yesh!!! For once I'm lucky!! And we were trying to figure out who else it was.... 'cause Nic said she saw red hair, but that could be either Die or Kaoru.
Le Kaoru. Yesh, it was le Kaoru. I couldn't think of ANYTHING AT ALL....
We got up there, they all go "Aishiteru!" and I'm totally late and in awe and all "A... aishiteru!" and I started giggling..... Yesh. They laughed at us. Chuckled, I guess the word is. They smile SO CUTE!!!
But I'm confused. They were in a tent. There was no sun beaming down. Why the hell were they wearing sunglasses?... funny.
Kaoru has his beard. AGAIN. It's kinda cute!
And I'm in a complete and total DAZE and I remember my hand moving as I shook their hands, and I saw their faces, and they had these adorably we-use-these-smiles-at-all-of-these-things-smiles on their faces... and I'm all.... oooooooooooh my god. but by the time I got to Shinya I got enough sense to say something. I shook his hand, but I don't remember feeling it... and said "Hajimemashite, Shinya-san. Miyu wa kawaii."
Translation - "Nice to meet you, Shinya-san. Miyu is cute."
But at least he understood me!!!!!! YESH!!! And then another little chuckle. It's so CUTE!! 'cause I'm sure we're just crazy fangirls to them, but they're so CUTE!
So for the next hour, our hands are just shaking and we're shaking each other's hands because they were the hands that shook Kaokao and Shin-kun's hands and it was so surreal.... Yesh... So then we hunted down the guys again and just sat on a hill on the lawn 'cause where we were was getting crowded.
We drank lots of water then.... and Aki returned Keisuke his necklace she forgot she had on... he's so adorable! *and she was hanging onto him like you wouldn't believe, but you couldn't really blame her. lol* So then I talked to Junya some more *he hadn't said much to anyone for the most part..* and all of us spent the rest of the day talking, walking around, talking and walking around some more, sharing water bottles and drinks and whatever strange dieseases someone might have from using the same straws and all, but whatever.
There were some interesting conversations... about Chocobos and Moogles.... and then trying to ask Keisuke if he played DDR was funny. He hadn't played before, and me and Aki were trying to figure out what he was saying - it sounded like "So me." as in "I play on heavy level too", but he didn't play it at all and then we finally figured out he said "Show me." and we're all "OOOOOOOH!!! Yes!! Show you!" so now we all want to meet up at the Santa Monica pier to show him how to play DDR.
We went back to the lawn and were waiting for Korn, but then the girls had to leave... *sniffle* so I stayed with the guys and me and Junya discussed the lead singer's manskirt. *giggles* It was a manskirt. A shiny, gray manskirt.
*Visual kei comes to America?? gaaaah! NOOOOO!!!*
But then they left when Korn was 'done' *before the encore* and there were hugs and "Take care" and "Dammit, I have to go find my sister."
But I have everyone's email! I'm happy!!
OMFG I MADE FRIENDS! *that doesn't happen often...*
So I find my sis, we bullshit up a story in case my parents asked, and left.
Traffic was horrible.
Yesh.
So then we stayed at a hotel, then we went other places and stayed out until 11 the NEXT night too... and here I am today.
Family Values Tour. I went for one band, and one band only. Dir en grey.
I could have gone alone, but I was feeling nice one day, so I told my sister about it. I'm actually really glad I did. Korn would be there, she likes Korn, and they played last. They played last, therefore we stayed ALL DAY.
