so i went for one ok rock on 22 nov 2013 with mike and tamara
wow
i went to queue with mike in the morning but found a whole bunch of people already there. like they queued overnight wow dedication. mike and i arrived at ten in the morning fyi the concert starts at 7pm.
it was very hot and humid and boring. tamara came after a while.
the people who queued overnight were like those hardcore fanclub people i think and they passed down stuff for us to write on. they gave it to one ok rock afterwards.
i know i said we didn't arrive THAT early but we were still REALLY early. There was no way there was enough space in the notebook for everyone to write on, but the fact that when the notebook was passed down to us over half of it was still blank says a lot about how early we were.
i bought a one ok rock tour shirt (WILL UPLOAD LATER) and so now im broke so broke ouch
i changed into the shirt for the concert
anyway we ended up bringing too much stuff and there were no lockers so we kinda just abandoned our bags somewhere in the concert area. yes staff-san we're sorry.
we were in the really front area but not front enough to touch taka. much sad
concert was really good. people were pushing around and some people were angry but i was just like meh taka's singing i don't really care you can push me all you want im already in the front i can only get more front. but at one point i was literally slanted and stuck between two people i couldn't have fallen even if i had wanted to. i was literally suspended in the crowd
some person fainted and more than two or three people were handed to the guards over the barrier (i saw three but there were probably more) and the guards i guess were handing cups of water into the crowd in case more people were gonna faint
mike had a little panic attack thing and went to the medic's area pretty early on
i was jumping and screaming and waving my hand pretty much the whole time. cause i was short, so all i was breathing in was sweat and humidity. i rested my arm on some dude for a little while and didn't realise, but he didn't complain or say anything so it was pretty rad.
tamara said someone complained about her hair going in their faces so she tied it up haha. also she said a guy rested his arm on her head. are we all so short
my ears were kinda shot after the first song or so. the crowd was super enthusiastic and loud woww. afterwards i complained about people who screamed so loud that your ears did the thing, and tamara was like THAT'S YOU HELEN
much sweating ensued.
the band was so cute too wow toru and tomoya and ryota wow im blush
ryota had his shirt off by the second song or something. i don't even think i saw his shirt at all. toru was all cool during the whole thing and tomoya was banging at the drums like woaahh so cute so enthusiastic such good music mmmm
at one point taka kind of climbed the barrier and people screamed and surged towards him and started trying to touch him and stuff and he was a little bit woah. you could see it on his face. then security kicked in and taka was able to climb over the barrier and sing in relative peace loll.
during the encore you could hear his smile omfg. and during one line he had a cute little involuntary smile on his face omfg i wanted to die right there my life was fufilled.
the concert was beautiful and afterwards everyone was kinda dazed and shit.
one ok rock said that they'd definitely come back next year. we will see
