The second Gackt-Concert in Taiwan :D
Feb. 19th, 2007 10:37 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
haebinHere’s the Review to our second concert in Taiwan. Finally I made it to write this report. To be honest I held back a while because the memory is making me sad. But I want to share this evening with you anyway =)
But beware, the review is really damn long ^^
When we came back to our hostel from shopping we took a fast shower, changed dresses and went back to out meeting point with Kee and Tamara. This time we drove by train and it was an adventure. We walked five minutes, got up some stairs and were standing in front of a high building.
We used the elevator to the third floor and there were no fans standing. *laughs* It was very relaxing not to stand in a crowd like the J-Rock concerts in Germany. (I don’t want to think about what will happen, when Gackt will give a concert in Germany o_O )
The boy on the entrance was kind of cute. He was all shy and asked me to look into my bag. I was only carrying some handkerchiefs with me and he said: “Oh, cool” xD
Then the next shock hit me. ;_;
All tour-goodies were sold out :(
I actually wanted to buy a poster and a pamphlet, but there wasn’t one left :/
So this time Jutta and I went directly in the hall and sat this time in row 16 \^^/
Two rows closer to Gacchan :P
This time we sat on the right side and had a really good view to Gackt, You and Ju-ken *_*
Chae Jung, a friend of Kee sat four rows behind us and we had a nice talk till she went down to Kee and talked to her. Tamara sat one row before and two seats to my left side.
A little surprise for You-san
Before the concert was about to begin Kee came to us and gave us a small paper. She explained to us that some fans decided to give a surprise to Gackt and You. Because of You’s birthday two days after the concert on 8th February they planned to sing “Happy Birthday” after Gackt introduced You. And before Gackt was leaving the stage they wanted to sing “Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto” but that didn’t work well.
Of course Gackt didn’t start at 18.00. He started at 18.15. He actually knows how much the fans wanted to see him, ne? :)
The setlist and the clothes haven’t changed but, oh my god, this concert had really rocked. It was amazing.
CUBE
Everything was like the day before. The commercials, the light, but Gackt himself got so much over his own borders, that it made me scared. He had an immense strength and intensity put in his voice and it didn’t take one minute till this feeling had caught the fans. The whole hall was screaming as he was standing there, arms stretched out, the head laid back into his neck. He did the same roboter-moves like the evening before, but at as much as then. He always twirled his coat, it was amazing *_*
MARIA
I can’t describe how intense Gackt’s voice sounded through the hall. Even with a “not so well known” song like Maria (which wasn’t released as a single) it’s possible for his voice to pierce your heart. And he was always looking into the audience, eyes wide opened as he was willing to take every second with him *sighs*
UNCONTROL
The song is made for Gackt to move his hips. Every small tiny little move was answered with a scream of his fans. *laughs*
And everyone was able to see how he enjoyed it.
絵夢～FOR MY DEAR～
I now that he whispered something in the beginning in Chinese. Sadly I didn’t understand a single word, but I read in Kee’s LJ that he said: Huan ying ni men lai zhe shen mi de ju hui – (Welcome to this secret gathering). *_*
Alone to know that is like… woah, I can’t describe it. The song is wonderful and the lights where breathtaking. I looked sometimes to the wall where Gackt’s shadow was oversized to see and you could have the feeling that he completely touched you, your soul and goes through your whole body. I never experienced such an intense concert in my whole life. Every time when he lifted one hand you had the feeling that he wanted to reach you; to touch you. Tamara was so unbelievably kind to me and gave me her binoculars and as I used them… *faints*
It was like Gackt was standing right in front of me, look at me directly… and I thought when I should make it and survive this moment, I could be really happy ^^
SEVEN
It was unbelievable how much emotions Gackt put in this song. Everything, his voice, his facial expression, his gestures, his twirling coat was so… full of emotion. Like I said he gave this evening 250%.
REDEMPTION
Gackt and You to hear in one song together was absolutely overwhelming. And You loves it to perform Redemption. It’s always impressive to see how Gackt is able to lose himself in a song.
ASH
It seemed like Gackt had some problems with his electronics. He was always touching his ear. But no matter what, he’s still perfect enough to make an adorable performance. And to hear Ash is… indescribable. Like I said before its one of my favourite songs and I’m not able to describe what I felt when he sung this song… in every inch of my body.
NINE SPIRAL
Oh my God… every movement, every look, that getting rid of his coat… was pure erotic. And while he removed his coat he turned his back to us … and he did it really slowly. And he seemed to enjoy it, to lift his shirt and show his nipples and chest to the audience. O_O
The girls in the hall nearly collapsed (and I almost forgot to breathe). All the time he touched his trousers, pulled them down a bit and yesterday at that tie he touched his thighs…. This time… *coughs* his magnum. Again and again (and yes, he had a lump in his trousers after that). I never ever met someone where “rubbing” alone was pure erotic (god, it’s hot in here). And I really believe the temperature in the hall was rising more and more. ::P
SPEED MASTER
Yes, rock for us with all your strength. \^^/
I love this song because it’s so fast and full of power *_*
Lu:Na
Gackt stood on stage, one leg ahead and bowed his body in an incredible erotic swing of his hips forward. And this all the time, without a pause *_*
STORM
I love this song. On CD it never had this impression like the Live did. The dancing girls in her French servant dress (not to mention the suspenders^^) were a nice view. And no, I wasn’t jealous about them dancing there on stage ^^
More envious because the could move so damned good xP
PAPPA LAPPED A POP LOOPED
For me the most erotic song I know *_*
And Gackt enjoyed the role of the macho who made the girls kneel down ^^
Of course one girl was down on her knees and close to his crotch ( I would love to know what she’s thinking while she’s doing this ^^)
KALMIA
Wow… Gackt used the chance to touch himself. No, no… not what you are thinking. He touched his face, his lips, his eyes, his neck… everything. I think I used Tamara’s binoculars during this song. And it looked like I just had to stretch out my hand to touch him.
FRAGRANCE
Even during this song Gackt touched himself (of course the fans enjoyed it) and even while he was touching his mic-stand the fans nearly got crazy.
Gackt finally sank on his knees and sung the rest of the song and leaned against the mic-stand (in my next life I want to be born as Gackt’s mic-stand *__*)
MIND FOREST
I’m sorry, but I can’t remember this song :/
METAMORPHOZE
I still know that the lights were unbelievable. And that I was looking at You all the time. He really enjoys to play guitar *_*
BIRDCAGE
Like the day before Birdcage was the official last song of the concert.
Gackt left the stage and the screaming of the fans begun. There wasn’t one moment in complete silence. Every time someone screamed or clapped his hands. Jutta and I did the same of course xD
It took five minutes till Gackt played the first note of Mirror and I looked around a little bit. And I found his bodyguards \^^/
Two of them stood close to us on the right side and watched Mirror and Another World before they left the room again. ^^
And yes, the guys are really tall and awesome.
After five more minutes of screaming and the notes from Mirror, Gackt started with his “Let’s-drive-the-fans-crazy”.
(like last time the translations are from Kee, thank you so much m(._.)m
G: "I can’t hear u!"
G: "louder"
G: "too soft!"
G: "I'M LEAVING" <- (war klar, dass sämtliche Fans jetzt am ausflippen waren. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, wie Gackt grinsend hinter der Bühne steht und lacht, dass er mit so einem einfachen Satz sämtliche Fans zum ausrasten bringt ^^)
G: "come on!!! LOUDER"
G: "I WANT TO HEAR U TAIWAN!!!" *Everyone screams*
G: "LOUDER!!!!!'
ENCORE
Like the evening before You-san came on stage with his unbelievable good costume (the fake-hair on his head, under his arms, on his chest and above his trousers… my goodness, it looked horrible *laugs*)
And You is kind of pervert. He copied Gackt’s swing of his hips and moved his “Bazooka” forward to let the fans scream in agony xP
And he pointed on his crotch (and yes, I was surprised, there was a lump, too o_O nya, it was because his trousers were so tight ^^)
Gackt was sitting behind the drumset but we sat on the right side and we weren’t able to see him. But we heard his giggling and after You sank down with an orgiastic scream Gackt couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Chacha was kind of sweet. He looked puzzled while he was looking at You. His face was like this O___o;;
So cute xP
After the drum-solo Gackt looked worn out and used a kind of asthma-spray a few times. He looked really weak and I would have loved to give him a hug and tell him, that everything will be okay again.
Interaction time
(Translations from Kee, Thanks so much :) )
It started out with him doing the Tadaima & Okaeri thing XD (this happened last night too! sorry i forgot)
He will ask us if we knew what Tadaima and Okaeri meant
and he still loved using his favourite phrase: "Really??" (zhen de ma?)
so he asks us what okaeri meant. and we will shout out to him
"huan ying hui lai" (Welcome back)
he asked a couple of times before laughing and saying
"Do you know its used at home? for Family?"
and we will all scream
then he sorta ended this portion saying we're all his family
and shouted:
G: "TADAIMA!!!!!"
"OKAERI!!!!!!"
G: TADAIMA!!!!!!!"
"OKAERI!!!!!!!!!!!"
we did it so many many times!!!! it felt so nice to say that to him!!!
and then he decided to switch it around
G: "OKAERI!!"
"TADAIMA!!!!"
G: "OKAERII!!!!!!!"
"TADAIMAAA!!!!!!!!!"
G: "O..KA..E....RIIIII!!!!!!!"
"TAAAAA....DAAAAA...I....MAAA!!!!!!!!!"
He did the same cheeky thing about asking us how long we waited XD
G: "did u all wait very long?"
G: "how long?"
*crowd all spread their arms as wide as they can and shouts "THIS LONG!!"
G: "Really??"
*crowd all spread their arms as wide as they can again and shouts "REALLY!!"
G: "Really???"
"REALLYYY!!"
G: "REALLY?"
"YESSSSS!!!!"
G: "You're bluffing" (not speaking the truth)
and he flashes us a suspicious look that failed cuz he was smiling
hehehe.. he's so naughty!!!!
so he started trying to recall...
G: "Do you all know the movie MOONCHILD?"
"Really??" (zhen de ma?)
"Really?"
"that was like... 3... 4 years ago?" *he's looking confused at this point of time*
and all of us in front were showing him our fingers telling him its 3!!!
and he broke out into laughter!!!!!!!!!! XD
"Since.. the year before.. and last year.. I wanted to come to Taiwan for a concert
But i cant... because my music company had new happenings (xin de fa sheng).
But I made it!!"
He loves teasing us XD hehehehe.
G: "When i left Japan it was so cold. But when I come to Taiwan its so hot!!!!" (hao re!!)
"But... its even HOTTER in here!!!!!"
.
.
.
"BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR LOVE!"
(i neednt say more. the crowd went bersek. hehe)
He touched once more again about how we Asians are all one big family
and although yesterday he kept teasing You-san about his chinese
tonight he started to tease Chacha and Junji
but the chacha part is priceless
because chacha really doesnt know what Gackt just said!!!!
Gackt will be talking to us and asking us questions and after we reply
he will turn to chacha and keep asking him
G: "Ni ting de dong ma?" (Do you understand?)
Poor Chacha flashed us a really blur and puzzled look everytime Gackt asks him that! XD
We were all laughing and screaming to Chacha "daijoubu!!" and flashing him "OK" hand signals
there was one part where no one was shouting.. and Chacha was still clueless
so i plucked up my courage and I shouted to him "DAIJOUBU!!"
i was the only one shouting that! hahaha..
but soon after.. EVERYONE in the hall started to chant LOUDLY in unison:
"CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA!"
it was an amazing atmosphere... and u can really feel the love and support we all have for Chacha
and after some more teasing by Gackt
Chacha started to just shake his body (kinda like a little dance) and act like "so what?"
while smiling so widely and cheekily back at Gackt XDDDDDDD
It was really chacha's moment!!!!! :D hehehehehehe
and we all screamed to him!!!
Back to the portion where he introduces his band members again
He roughly said the same thing again:
G: "Tonight.. every GacktJOB member is going to say one line of chinese to you!!"
NOTICE BY ME:
It was too cute to see Junji coming down the stairs, stood close to Gackt and looked at him. And Gackt looked at him, irritated, because he didn’t know what was going on. Till Junji showed with his hands that he missed the mic-stand :P
Fantastic, but one of the Crew-members forgot to bring the mic-stand xD
Then Junji wanted to start talking, but Gackt send him back to his drums. xDDD
So he went upstairs to his drums, lifted his arms again and came back down the stairs to Gackt xD
He said:
"Wo bu hui ri ben le..." (I'm not going back to Japan anymore)
"Yin wei ni...NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI!!!!!! " (Because of YOU... YOU.... YOU... YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU!!!!!!)
*he starts pointing randomly to all of us in the hall*
isnt that just sweeeet???? XD
Ju-ken was next... Gackt said "Bando Member no da4 wei4 wang2" (half jap-half chinese sentence again. LOL)
which basically meant "Band member's bottomless pit! (Guy with the biggest stomach for eating) JU-KEN!"
And at this point of time... because a lot of us couldnt quite catch what Gackt was saying
Ju-ken was at his spot rubbing his tummy.. and showing us gobbling/eating gestures
that he eats A lot. hahahaha.. he's so cute!!!!
So Ju-ken struts down ... and before he makes his speech..
he asks all of us in Taiwan dialect (luckily its simple enough for me to understand)
"dai ka ho?" (How is everyone?)
"sek bah buay?" (Have you eaten?)
The taiwanese fans are definitely elated to hear him speak their language XD
and finally he says to all of us
"Ni men hui zuo xiao long bao ma?" (Do you know how to make xiao long bao-s?)
hahahahaha... so he really does live up to his name of being the band's bottomless pit!
as usual Chacha was next..
and Gackt introduced him as
"Bando Member no oneechan!" (Band Member's older sister)
before repeating in chinese "Band Member de jie jie"
but he was quick to add on "Ke shi ta shi nan de!" (But he's a guy!!)
Last but definitely not the least.. Gackt went on to introduce You
He said something in japanese which i didnt understand
and he wanted to tell us what it means in chinese
but laughed and said "wo bu hui jie shi" (I dont know how to describe)
so he started to explain it out in a passage:
"You... shi wo de hao peng you" (You is my best friend)
"Ta.. geng wo yi qi zhang da.." (He has been with me since young and we grew up together)
by now all of us knew what word he wanted to say!!!! XD
so ALL OF US started shouting as loud as we can to Gackt
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
Gackt laughed and giggled and then after awhile he was beckoning us to tell him what it is
so all of us finally shouted as one voice
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
Gackt couldnt catch it and so... we shouted it for him again!!
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
and he started laughing a bit as he repeated it himself
"Qing mei zu ma."
and ALL OF US CHEERED, SCREAMED, CLAPPED AND SHOWED THUMBS UP SIGN AND OK SIGNS TO HIM!!!!!!!!
hahahahaha its such an honor to teach Gackt a phrase!!!!
and he said it so well too!!
You comes up to the mic and then he starts to say
"wo bu shi xi huan ni men." ( I dont like you all)
OMG!!!!!!!! we were all whining and going "ahhhhhhhhhh?????" in a sad and rejected tone
and he just looked on at us as we all felt so so hurt by it T_T
then he goes onto shout:
"WO SHI AI NI MEN DE!!!!" ( I LOVE YOU!!!!!)
hahaha.. ok fine. we all knew he will be pulling that stunt. even when he said the first line
but its still a natural reaction to respond dejectedly and sad XD
hahaha.. and even though we expected him to say that.. it still drove us crazy XD
NOTICE BY ME:
Then there came our little surprise. Gackt finished his introduction of You and You had gone back to his guitar then the hall started singing “Happy Birthday”. You was frightened and starred at Gackt, who looked also puzzled. It took him around one minute to recognize that we were singing “Happy Birthday”. And the cutest thing was when he said a looong “Aaaaaaaaaaah” in his mic and said to You that the fans were singing “Happy Birthday” for him. Then he started to sing by himself and it was the cutest thing I ever heard of him *_*
After that.. Gackt was telling us and his band members that
GacktJOB must learn chinese XD *NYAAAAAAAA!!!!!* that they must all study hard at it
for their NEXT LIVE there!!! u know.. when he said that.. its that prospect that there MAY BE a next time
that makes me so so happy. It may be years later... but at least it will happen
and I'm going to make damn sure I get my ass over here again!!!
oh.. and then he turns to us and tells us that we must study Japanese too!!
and we all answered him with a loud affirmative "HAIIII!!!!!!!"
SECOND PART OF MIRROR
This was one of the worst moments for me. Gackt had spend everything during the song and he – after the lights went down – he swung to the side and broke down in the shadows. He sat on his knees, breathed heavily and suddenly there were two stage members besides him and talked to him but Gackt shook his head.
Chacha and You started to cheer up the crowd to distract them from Gackt.
It took a few minutes till Gackt was able to stand up again ;_;
ANOTHER WORLD
Gackt went down on his knees after the first notes of the song. You, Chacha and Ju-ken were standing behind him but he wasn’t able to sing the whole song. It hurt so much to see how exhausted he was.
君が追いかけた夢 (Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume)
Like yesterday the song started unplugged and Gackt sat on the stage accompanied by a piano (which was maybe standing backstage) and sang full of love and emotion this song. And then I couldn’t hold back anymore. I grabbed Jutta’s hand and started to cry. As the song was finished Gacchan stood on stage, had tears in his eyes and hit his heart with his hand to show how much this evening had meant to him.
Then he walked off stage I saw how someone grabbed him on his hip because he started to totter again. ;_;
There was nothing in the news or tv but I can imagine that he sank down after he left stage again :(
And while the fans were screaming like crazy for Gackt I couldn’t stop to cry. I think I cried about one hour.
But anyway these two concerts were definitively the best moments in my life.
Jutta… thank you for sharing those moments and the vacation in Taiwan with me. Without you it would have been only half as good as it was.
Kee, Rosie, Tamara… I’m really glad I met you and I’m happy that we could see Gackt all together ^__^
These were my reviews of the two Gackt-concerts. The next entry will be about the last one and a half days… and my damned good-looking piercer xD
Anke
PS: Thank you, Gackt. Thank you for everything you ever did for me. You brought me back to life and I will be thankful for it forever.
PPS: We gave our letters for Gackt to the fan box \^^/
But beware, the review is really damn long ^^
When we came back to our hostel from shopping we took a fast shower, changed dresses and went back to out meeting point with Kee and Tamara. This time we drove by train and it was an adventure. We walked five minutes, got up some stairs and were standing in front of a high building.

"TAAAAA....DAAAAA...I....MAAA!!!!!!!!!"
He did the same cheeky thing about asking us how long we waited XD
G: "did u all wait very long?"
G: "how long?"
*crowd all spread their arms as wide as they can and shouts "THIS LONG!!"
G: "Really??"
*crowd all spread their arms as wide as they can again and shouts "REALLY!!"
G: "Really???"
"REALLYYY!!"
G: "REALLY?"
"YESSSSS!!!!"
G: "You're bluffing" (not speaking the truth)
and he flashes us a suspicious look that failed cuz he was smiling
hehehe.. he's so naughty!!!!
so he started trying to recall...
G: "Do you all know the movie MOONCHILD?"
"Really??" (zhen de ma?)
"Really?"
"that was like... 3... 4 years ago?" *he's looking confused at this point of time*
and all of us in front were showing him our fingers telling him its 3!!!
and he broke out into laughter!!!!!!!!!! XD
"Since.. the year before.. and last year.. I wanted to come to Taiwan for a concert
But i cant... because my music company had new happenings (xin de fa sheng).
But I made it!!"
He loves teasing us XD hehehehe.
G: "When i left Japan it was so cold. But when I come to Taiwan its so hot!!!!" (hao re!!)
"But... its even HOTTER in here!!!!!"
.
.
.
"BECAUSE OF ALL YOUR LOVE!"
(i neednt say more. the crowd went bersek. hehe)
He touched once more again about how we Asians are all one big family
and although yesterday he kept teasing You-san about his chinese
tonight he started to tease Chacha and Junji
but the chacha part is priceless
because chacha really doesnt know what Gackt just said!!!!
Gackt will be talking to us and asking us questions and after we reply
he will turn to chacha and keep asking him
G: "Ni ting de dong ma?" (Do you understand?)
Poor Chacha flashed us a really blur and puzzled look everytime Gackt asks him that! XD
We were all laughing and screaming to Chacha "daijoubu!!" and flashing him "OK" hand signals
there was one part where no one was shouting.. and Chacha was still clueless
so i plucked up my courage and I shouted to him "DAIJOUBU!!"
i was the only one shouting that! hahaha..
but soon after.. EVERYONE in the hall started to chant LOUDLY in unison:
"CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA! CHACHA!"
it was an amazing atmosphere... and u can really feel the love and support we all have for Chacha
and after some more teasing by Gackt
Chacha started to just shake his body (kinda like a little dance) and act like "so what?"
while smiling so widely and cheekily back at Gackt XDDDDDDD
It was really chacha's moment!!!!! :D hehehehehehe
and we all screamed to him!!!
Back to the portion where he introduces his band members again
He roughly said the same thing again:
G: "Tonight.. every GacktJOB member is going to say one line of chinese to you!!"
NOTICE BY ME:
It was too cute to see Junji coming down the stairs, stood close to Gackt and looked at him. And Gackt looked at him, irritated, because he didn’t know what was going on. Till Junji showed with his hands that he missed the mic-stand :P
Fantastic, but one of the Crew-members forgot to bring the mic-stand xD
Then Junji wanted to start talking, but Gackt send him back to his drums. xDDD
So he went upstairs to his drums, lifted his arms again and came back down the stairs to Gackt xD
He said:
"Wo bu hui ri ben le..." (I'm not going back to Japan anymore)
"Yin wei ni...NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI! NI!!!!!! " (Because of YOU... YOU.... YOU... YOU! YOU! YOU! YOU!!!!!!)
*he starts pointing randomly to all of us in the hall*
isnt that just sweeeet???? XD
Ju-ken was next... Gackt said "Bando Member no da4 wei4 wang2" (half jap-half chinese sentence again. LOL)
which basically meant "Band member's bottomless pit! (Guy with the biggest stomach for eating) JU-KEN!"
And at this point of time... because a lot of us couldnt quite catch what Gackt was saying
Ju-ken was at his spot rubbing his tummy.. and showing us gobbling/eating gestures
that he eats A lot. hahahaha.. he's so cute!!!!
So Ju-ken struts down ... and before he makes his speech..
he asks all of us in Taiwan dialect (luckily its simple enough for me to understand)
"dai ka ho?" (How is everyone?)
"sek bah buay?" (Have you eaten?)
The taiwanese fans are definitely elated to hear him speak their language XD
and finally he says to all of us
"Ni men hui zuo xiao long bao ma?" (Do you know how to make xiao long bao-s?)
hahahahaha... so he really does live up to his name of being the band's bottomless pit!
as usual Chacha was next..
and Gackt introduced him as
"Bando Member no oneechan!" (Band Member's older sister)
before repeating in chinese "Band Member de jie jie"
but he was quick to add on "Ke shi ta shi nan de!" (But he's a guy!!)
Last but definitely not the least.. Gackt went on to introduce You
He said something in japanese which i didnt understand
and he wanted to tell us what it means in chinese
but laughed and said "wo bu hui jie shi" (I dont know how to describe)
so he started to explain it out in a passage:
"You... shi wo de hao peng you" (You is my best friend)
"Ta.. geng wo yi qi zhang da.." (He has been with me since young and we grew up together)
by now all of us knew what word he wanted to say!!!! XD
so ALL OF US started shouting as loud as we can to Gackt
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
Gackt laughed and giggled and then after awhile he was beckoning us to tell him what it is
so all of us finally shouted as one voice
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
Gackt couldnt catch it and so... we shouted it for him again!!
"QING MEI ZU MA!!!!!!!!!"
and he started laughing a bit as he repeated it himself
"Qing mei zu ma."
and ALL OF US CHEERED, SCREAMED, CLAPPED AND SHOWED THUMBS UP SIGN AND OK SIGNS TO HIM!!!!!!!!
hahahahaha its such an honor to teach Gackt a phrase!!!!
and he said it so well too!!
You comes up to the mic and then he starts to say
"wo bu shi xi huan ni men." ( I dont like you all)
OMG!!!!!!!! we were all whining and going "ahhhhhhhhhh?????" in a sad and rejected tone
and he just looked on at us as we all felt so so hurt by it T_T
then he goes onto shout:
"WO SHI AI NI MEN DE!!!!" ( I LOVE YOU!!!!!)
hahaha.. ok fine. we all knew he will be pulling that stunt. even when he said the first line
but its still a natural reaction to respond dejectedly and sad XD
hahaha.. and even though we expected him to say that.. it still drove us crazy XD
NOTICE BY ME:
Then there came our little surprise. Gackt finished his introduction of You and You had gone back to his guitar then the hall started singing “Happy Birthday”. You was frightened and starred at Gackt, who looked also puzzled. It took him around one minute to recognize that we were singing “Happy Birthday”. And the cutest thing was when he said a looong “Aaaaaaaaaaah” in his mic and said to You that the fans were singing “Happy Birthday” for him. Then he started to sing by himself and it was the cutest thing I ever heard of him *_*
After that.. Gackt was telling us and his band members that
GacktJOB must learn chinese XD *NYAAAAAAAA!!!!!* that they must all study hard at it
for their NEXT LIVE there!!! u know.. when he said that.. its that prospect that there MAY BE a next time
that makes me so so happy. It may be years later... but at least it will happen
and I'm going to make damn sure I get my ass over here again!!!
oh.. and then he turns to us and tells us that we must study Japanese too!!
and we all answered him with a loud affirmative "HAIIII!!!!!!!"
SECOND PART OF MIRROR
This was one of the worst moments for me. Gackt had spend everything during the song and he – after the lights went down – he swung to the side and broke down in the shadows. He sat on his knees, breathed heavily and suddenly there were two stage members besides him and talked to him but Gackt shook his head.
Chacha and You started to cheer up the crowd to distract them from Gackt.
It took a few minutes till Gackt was able to stand up again ;_;
ANOTHER WORLD
Gackt went down on his knees after the first notes of the song. You, Chacha and Ju-ken were standing behind him but he wasn’t able to sing the whole song. It hurt so much to see how exhausted he was.
君が追いかけた夢 (Kimi ga Oikaketa Yume)
Like yesterday the song started unplugged and Gackt sat on the stage accompanied by a piano (which was maybe standing backstage) and sang full of love and emotion this song. And then I couldn’t hold back anymore. I grabbed Jutta’s hand and started to cry. As the song was finished Gacchan stood on stage, had tears in his eyes and hit his heart with his hand to show how much this evening had meant to him.
Then he walked off stage I saw how someone grabbed him on his hip because he started to totter again. ;_;
There was nothing in the news or tv but I can imagine that he sank down after he left stage again :(
And while the fans were screaming like crazy for Gackt I couldn’t stop to cry. I think I cried about one hour.
But anyway these two concerts were definitively the best moments in my life.
Jutta… thank you for sharing those moments and the vacation in Taiwan with me. Without you it would have been only half as good as it was.
Kee, Rosie, Tamara… I’m really glad I met you and I’m happy that we could see Gackt all together ^__^
These were my reviews of the two Gackt-concerts. The next entry will be about the last one and a half days… and my damned good-looking piercer xD
Anke
PS: Thank you, Gackt. Thank you for everything you ever did for me. You brought me back to life and I will be thankful for it forever.
PPS: We gave our letters for Gackt to the fan box \^^/
