DJ Ozma's live




Last friday i went to DJ Ozma's live in Osaka. About DJ Ozma, it's a band formed with the leader/singer of Kishidan, the mascott of the same band, and one of the dancers. As kishidan it's stupid, hilarious and great ! If you want more informations, search "Kishidan" in wikipedia, there's some good explanations.


Since it was all standing i decided to go few hours before to be in front of the scene. So i arrived at the live's place, Zepp Osaka (a small dome), around 12'. There were nobody, and it was really cold so i decided to walk around in a near shopping center. One hour later i went back to the Zepp, but there were only 3 girls. I talked to them, and they were waiting for Ozma, but they asked me why i cam here so early (at that moment we were 6hours to the concert). So i explained to them i wanted to enter the 1st, but they told me that there were numbers on the ticket and that we were entering by numerical order ...... I was 723 !


Actually they were waiting for the opening of goodies shop, so i decided to wait with them. We wited something like 3 hours, and i thought i would lose my hands since it was so cold. After 3 hours, i was satisfied by being the 4th guy accessing to the goodies : i bought a T-shirt.


After this i decided to go back to the shopping center to warm up a little and then to come back before the opening of the gates (at 6 o'clock). In the shopping center i actually falled asleep sitting on some stairs since i was tired and it was warm. When i went back i realized people all got the same ide as me, since i saw many people with some Ozma goodies in that shopping center.


Back there, 2000 people were waiting, they started calling people by group of 400, then divided us in group of 200, and in front of the door, we went 20 by 20. When i entered i grabed a drink (that i paid 500yen V_V)and hurried in the main room. There were still some free space in the right side in front of the scene. I was maybe at 2m of the scene so that was really nice i thought, even if it was not really in the center.


The light turned off and then a clown appeared, he did some stupid things, then it started. The first 3 songs were some famous one, so everybody jumped, danced, singed, and moved all around. Wich moved me to the center and a bit closer to the scene^^. I was kind of lucky and stayed here till the end. It was really incredible : it lasted 3 hours, wich is normal since Kishidan's live are always more than 3h30. Half of it was the songs, and the other half some jokes, stupid acts, or some wierd dancing. They really set the all audience in fire. I really laughed a lot, and nearly understand everything. Since it's stupid it's easy to get the meaning.


Many hours later i was still stunned by this concert, it's really something i could never forget. All those japanese people were so different than usual it was like crazy. Ozma was so charismatic, and i spent such a good time. Really unforgettable !!!


After the live i falled in the trap of the small shop keepers, and bought a poster and a towel. And i singed all the way back to home, wishing i'll have the chance to go to another of their live show soon. For the anecdote the title of this blog comes from the first hit of DJ Ozma : Age Age Every Night (Kishi) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A277Pdo7cLw
