Arch Linux×DEZERT

For the next 2 weeks I will enjoy my very first Japan-trip. As I will visit 4 concerts in this period I thought you may be interested in a report of the shows.
 
February 15, 2020 - Buglug, Arlequin, Kizu (Man only) - Meguro Rokumeikan

 
So this will be it: My first concert on Japanese ground! I was beyond excited. The concert was scheduled for 5:30. We went there early to avoid any troubles. In front of the venue a nice guy from Israel spotted us and gave us some useful tips for attending a concert in Japan (the entrance system, behaving etc.) Thanks for that man! He also told us that this venue is legendary one. Especially known for X Japan shows in their indies. 
We entered the venue after climbing some stairs down. It was much smaller then I expected. I would say it has a capacity of 150~200. There were no boundaries in front of the stage so the atmosphere is really  intimate. 
 
Arlequin (アルルカン) started the evening. Of course I am familiar with the name of the band but never dared to listen to them. But wow - they were great! They really really had fun with the man only gig. Aki pumped us with shouting Otoko!! several times. He even grabbed his guts lol. He did some stage diving between one song. I really liked his stage performance and the rest of the band was great too! I will definitely get into their discography. They played around 45 minutes. I can‘t report a setlist, sorry. 
 
Second band was (finally) Kizu (キズ). They were the main reason for choosing this concert as I really ship them! So this report will be very long. 😁
As not being the headliner you could see that most of the fans came for Kizu. So as their intro started the venue was pumped!
Lime‘s outfit was a mix between a vampire and the Joker. He had a long black cape, joker makeup (the Heath Ledger one) and hair extension. 
Reiki looked as usual with his short trousers. But his hair is grown much longer. 
Yue had a very dandy look with his hair combed back. He wore a black suit which was open so you could see his upper body. 
Kyonosuke had an interesting look with combed back hair too and a black ruffled indefinable top.
 
They started with Heisei which is so much better live! Lime played a second guitar. 
Next song was Buta also a very nice live experience. 
Then Jugo - and omg what a madness. So much headbanging and Furi. Same with the following Elise.
I‘m not a big fan auf Kuro ame but I have to admit the song is beautiful live. Lime sang the first verse without microphone and that gave me shivers. You could also see that the song is very emotional for the whole band.
The silence after Kuro ame was short as they played Oshimai - fuck yes! It was wild. Reiki did his guitar flip and the crowd was insane. 
Last song was Kizuato - forget what I was saying about Oshimai... this song was insane! That breakdown in the end. 😱 I hoped that they play it and I was so happy. 
And this was it. A 45 minute concert which felt like 10 minutes... If you have any chance to watch them, do it!
 
Setlist キズ:
平成
豚
十五
ELISE

And last but not least BugLug entered the stage. They were the headliner for the show. I‘ve never heard one song of them so I was excited to see what they may deliver. Light went out and a SE started to play as someone tiped my shoulder. It was the lead singer lol. They surprised us and came from the entrance straight through the audience to the stage. They shouted something with a megaphone. That was really cool. Next surprise: Before they started to iniateted a wall of death. Neat!
They did a really good and entertaining show with stage diving, moshing, fan service etc. While the last song the singer came right into the audience and sang the whole song there and even started to mosh. 
Great band but their music is not my cup of tea. (Please don‘t kill me dear BugLug fans!)
They also played 45 minutes. I don‘t know their songs but I took a picture of their setlist if someone is interested.
 
So this was it! A great concert with left us all with smiling faces. next one is the Meme Oneman on February 18.
 
I hope you liked this review and didn‘t fall asleep while reading. I will soon write again after the next concert.

there was a follow-up video too and shin admits to copying one of shou's look when he first started visual kei lol. he feels very honored to be able to do this collaboration with him. their relationship now is as close to being brothers. they mention more about the collaboration and song too but i couldn't quite pick up everything. (i dont have too much of a backround on alice nine either)
 
 

all i know is that they wore those clothes in the DAYS pv, there are a few shots of them. maybe it was a fanclub only item? otherwise i have no idea either.

shalom ✌️

Kei announced on twitter that he will release a new solo album on 2020.03.21
 
Will include the songs 'Utopia' and 'Eve' that he's been playing on recent solo performances
 
Further details yet to be announced
 
 

IMHO this is yet another the case of the "NOT HEAVY = HORRIBLE" tired trope, similar to what happened with DEZERT.
 
And yes, while I was also expecting more, there's also a lot of raw good ideas here, that could definitely have used a couple months more to flourish. After Rijin there was Kidoairaku, so I'l treat it as what it is: a conceptual release, an experiment to further polish the identity they are looking for.
 
highlights: What's Up?, Lament, MIST, Tick Tak, out of the darkness

I've just finished Silent Hill 2. I've played it several times before but I'm emotionally drained. Wow. 
 
I recently bought a copy of Silent Hill 3 after years of putting it off out of fear 🤣 Wish me luck! 

I GOT HYPED BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE'D BE GETTING SAKI  
Now im gonna cry

or he could be a half! but yassss, this looks HOT
 
from what i can understand, yes, and there will be new songs. the drummer personally wishes to write songs that are slower, grotesque, and vomit-inducing but i'm guessing he's not one of the main writers. their final tour will be at shinjuku blaze on 11/22 and there might be some more announcements later. he also mentions that the new bassist has some nice guns.
