Visual Kei, live
I went to a live show yesterday, actually it was a visual kei event.
For more informations about this kind of music just look here : [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_kei]Visual kei[/url]
It was in obe, started at 4:30, and finished only at 9:30, so it was a bit long. There were 7 bands, all amateurs, but in Japan even the smallest band produce his own cd to sell after concert. It was really interesting , even if i felt abit uneasy. Of course we were only 2 foreigners in there, and it surprised everybody. I felt even more uneasy since i was one of the only male ...
I thought there would be lot of boys and girls, all wearing some punk and gothic clothes. Well, i was totally wrong. There were only girls, we were maybe 3 men, and they were totally normal, i would even say cute and sexy for many of them, and probably half of hem were high school girls.
The other thaing hat surprised me is the comportement of japanese fans (or should i say spectator for those people). I know japanese people are cold, but i thought they would be different during a concert. As i said there were 7 bands, but nearly everybody come for the band he supports. So lot of people leave after their band is done, and when they waiting, and that an other band is performing those girls just sit down in the floor, laugh together, smoke, send mails through their cellphones... So you can guess how popular a band is by seeing how many girls stand up for them.
There were one band wich came from Tokyo, and it was the only wich made everybody stand up. But i must say they were really good !!
About the bands, the first one was not so bad, but they got an ugly singer, wich did lots of mistakes (he nearly fell down, lost his mic ...), and spent more time taking care of his hat than singing.
The second, was the one i came for , La'Skull. They began recently, but were pretty good.
3rd group, were missing some of his members, so they were only 2, a brother and a sister. That's pity everybody wasn't here because i really like what they did. And they played some funny characters.
4th group was one of the best, each member got a different style, a man disguised in schoolgirl, a dark cool guy, a funny guy, an ugly drummer, and a bad guy !
5th band, totally sucked ! there were only 2 girls wich stand up for them.
6th band, was the one wich came from Tokyo. They were just like professional, get down the public to play, made everybody (besides the men) dance ! It was really cool !
the last band was not so bad, but the singer was wearing a short pant, and looks like a kid. He really got no charisma, so it didn't impressed me ...
Anyway it was a really good experience, so i guess i'll go back to see this kind of event, maybe even go back for some of those band.
here's some of the band i saw
