Subject: ��k�� vs suede vs Dir en grey

Just came back from watching a pop concert and somehow a feeling sprouted inside me so that I need to write some observations on these three very different concerts
Today the pop show is a great success and I enjoyed it a lot. Yet I hated it when the audience could not keep quiet even during the ballads. It's very different from Dir en grey shows where torikos would stay absolutely quiet as soon as the first note rings out. It's a kind of respect for the performers on stage. However with suede it's different altogether. Brett actually wanted us to make noises throughout the show. He encourages us a lot, to clap, to sing, to jump, to dance. So with Brett, the respect comes from participation and supportive noise from the audience when he is singing.

Then there's the moving part. Pop shows the most movement you get is clapping. Today it's a bit different since they provided us with long inflatable plastic tubes, and when hit together, would made a very loud "pop". So today most people is making this loud "popping" sound with their tubes. It requires even less energy than clapping.
With suede, even though I bopped throughout the show, the energy output is still not as intense as Dir en grey ones. Dir en grey ones, you need to dance, do para para, leap high (as instructed by Die), mosh, headbang... it's an unbelievable output. Even boys come out from the shows totally exhausted and everyone would just flop down on the ground to catch their breaths and rest their aching muscles.

okay that's just some small observations up there and I can't keep myself from thinking about Dir en grey throughout today's show. I am totally ruined by the boys!
For example, when the myriads of light bulbs dangling from the top of the coliseum gently glowed above us, creating this artificial starry heaven, my mind recalled the beauty of Kyo's poems. My goodness!

Today I found that Hacken Lee actually has a very nice, lean body. His stage outfit is very sexy, showing off his smooth back and also lean waist. Those spider web design that allows holes to reside all over his back is simply brilliant. Halfway through the show I am alredy thinking that he could actually look ultimately sexy if we dress him in jrock cloths, the the ones ID Japan designs for Nightmare.

well maybe I don't have enough sleep that is why I'm talking utter nonsense here...
