Sorry I've been neglecting my ameba recently orz. It's not that I was really busy, but, well, I admit I was way too lazy to write anything. And that I didn't have any idea. And that I began to play video games. MMORPG. You see what I mean.

Long story short, a month ago, I went to Japan Expo. -only the Thursday, the Saturday, and The Sunday. Since I'm not really the "OH DAMN I NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE" girl, I just took a photo of one of my closest friend, the one I mentioned not so long ago : Charlie. She went the four days, the three last one cosplaying Alice Nine's Shou (White Period theme). Aaaah she was so cute ♥

But the only picture I took of her was unflattering, so I'm not sure if it's okay to post it ? I'll ask her first.

The second photo I took with my ~super smartphone~ (LOL) was one of DaizyStripper, during the sign session !

I'm glad I was able to see them. They are all adorable ! I even have a small story involving my boyfriend, Charlie, Yuugiri (not sure about how we write his name, sorry) and me LOL. It was kinda embarrassing, but hilarious too.

This was Thursday. Since Friday I wasn't here (spending some quality time with other friends) ; I'll directly pass to Saturday, the weirdest and most stressful day since... A BUNCH OF MONTHS. To be simple, I had to catwalk during a fashion show, "Tremplin Mode Jeunes Créateurs" (Fashion Springboard : Young Creators -not sure about the exact translation, sorry).

It wasn't easy since : I got thinner before the show (so the skirt kept falling) ; my shoes (high heels, 14cm) were too big... And I kept stressing myself. My worst fear was to fall on the ground during the show, but in the end, everything was okay ! I just had to appear around 30 seconds, but it was so long for me ;A; I was told I walked too fast but in the end, the next model (she was so gorgeous urgh, I felt ugly lol) covered up my mistakes by walking slower so we were in time.

Yeah yeah, there are pictures (LOTS OF PICTURES), but I'll only upload one since I don't really like my face during this show. I look so... I don't know. Baby-like ? Nervous ?

Haha. Yeah. See how I'm screaming internally "PLEASE LEGS DON'T BETRAY ME ?" XD

After the show we walked around for an hour or two so photographs could take pictures, then got back to the stand. I stayed there some time to rest a bit, barefoot. Because high heels are some monsters eating yours feet.

We talked, boyfriend Alexis (remember the best friend with me at Paris Manga ? He's not just a friend anymore -dies-), Alison and Charlie visited the stand to chat with me, and then they went to see Anli Pollicino. I missed most of their show since I had to put my basic clothes, untie my hair and wipe all the make up from my face ; but I was in time to see the end -ANLI POLLICINO DARED TO COVER DEAD OR ALIVE'S "YOU SPIN ME ROUND", it was freaking hilarious and I couldn't stop singing because I LOVE THIS SONG XD.

But to be honest, I found Shindy's voice awful. I don't know if he was ill or something, but I didn't find his voice appealing. Ok ok he still sings better than me, shut up ;~~~;

After Anli Pollicino, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu !

I'm not a huuuge fan, and I was alone, but it was funny to sing/dance along. She had a translator for the dances instructions LOL. It was okay, I think. The public had so much energy, it was almost scary XD. The only thing I didn't like was the playback, but I guess it would sound way too bad without it. No offense. (I know the Kyary fan you are is mad, but I'm serious, no offense).

I found my friends in the end of the show, and then we left .

I'm lazy and I don't want to write anymore but, to be VERYYYY honest, Sunday was boring, except for DaizyStripper's show and seeing/talking to my friends. There weren't anything special about it, but it was the last day, the "I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW I LOOK I'M FUCKING TIRED OKAY ?" look. So no pictures, obviously.

See you. ♥

So, yeah.

I feel like I'm spamming with my face everytime I'm writing something but OH SHUT UP.

It's from my last shooting \o

I look like I'm angry. Or high. Don't know. Maybe both.

Now you can all WTF.

Actually, the reason of this trip was to see Charlie, one of my closest friends. Her band (called New Hair, haha) was going to perform Saturday night ! It was at a free festival, in front of 1000-1500 people, so I didn't want to miss it .

They got their own dressing room. Like a boss.

When I arrived, it was almost noon. We ate some curry my mom made and I brought, then Charlie learned/trained her SuperBassSkillz while I was fangirling over her sleeping cat and taking pictures of him like a retard. At a certain point, I think I fell asleep for a millisecond because I just slept like, 3 hours. I tend to get VERY stressed about everything when I have to do something the next day, so yeah, I didn't rest well.

After that, around half past 2, we went out and headed toward the venue for the sound check. I met the band's singer (Charles), and their drummer (Max). Note that the drummer is 13 and he has fucking amazing skills lol. And I felt quite ashamed when I learned that D:

The guitarist was here too, but I already met him before. His name's Robin. And, well, we'll say it's obvious that he likes women (but not me. Apparently, they are scared of me or something ? DDD:).

Here, take a picture of weird Robin doing weird face.

Charlie in her Tora style.

The afternoon (until 7pm I mean) was spent into sound check and such and I was beside the band like "lol it's awkward stop staring at me, staff, I'm not playing with them okay". It's understandable, anyway, since Charlie's band is called New Hair, everyone thought that I was part of the band. :C

We left the venue around an hour then, so Charlie could change her clothes, and so I could fix my make up (not very successfully xD). She did her hair too, in a Visual Kei style ; while I left my hair flat and ugly because I'm a lazy fuck who doesn't care much about it.

Okay then, when we went back. Again sound check for the drummer, some quick practice, some gossip about the singer we didn't like, then they were on stage. I didn't stay backstage because I didn't felt like watching their ass (as beautiful as they are) so I went to the crowd.

There isn't much to say, but they rocked 8D. They did only some covers (Joan Jett, Phil Collins, Deep Purple, Secret Garden, Indochine and such). The audience was pretty enthusiastic, it was cool ♥. I felt somewhat proud of them /mother hen XD.

After the concert, Charlie, Robin and Charles actually signed autograph. Look at the future star they are. Charlie keep saying I'm going to be their manager. Or curry-cooking maid.

Charlie and I did some crazy stuff after that. At first, we were just crushing in the dressing room to get some rest and I was going to fall asleep, again, but then we decided to head toward the relaxation room. BUT, nothing was "RELAX" when we went there. We were alone, with CSI projected on a white screen so we watched the series quietly (but I did weird thing, like being all psycho and imitating a killer).

When we grew bored, we played baby foot, billiards (I lost, but it was my first time playing ! xD) then tried to show off playing ping pong.

We sucked.

So, frustrated, we decided to play by our own rule, and the game turned out like a mix of tennis and badminton, and we threw the ball every fucking where (at a certain point, I threw it on the light...). We played bare feet too, because it actually hurt like hell -I wore heels during the whole day, Charlie wore creepers.

In the end, Charlie bumped the wall (poor baby ç__ç) and she was like "OK I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE". So we left the room and said good bye to the people still here (Maxime-Henry -a solo artist ; and the staff), then went back to Charlie's. It was already 1am or something ?

eriudfhuidfk I was an epic day, honestly. It was just plain hilarious, especially after the concert since we were too tired to acknowledge our stupidity and our state of ultra tiredness.

Well, that's all I guess ?

Feel free to follow me ! I've always been writing in French, but I'll make some effort to write in English or Japanese, haha ♥.

We waited quite long but finally met Nalia and Sabrina. It was my first time seeing them but it was very fun, right from the start. They are adorable. We talked about some serious business like a boss but we mostly laughed a lot about everything. About me being younger than I look and being a future cougar.

We mostly wandered around the Chinese district, stopped by Tai You (a store specialized in Korean and Japanese music, Asian stuff, and all popular things). Stephy took some pictures of me when I was doing stupid stuff lol :C.

(derp)

We went to drink something too ! A bubble tea, specifically. I took a fresh fruit blend, mango/passion fruit/coco. The guy taking orders was cute haha ♥. He tried to convince me to take strawberry flavor instead of coco, but last time I had strawberry I got ill and almost threw up. Not very glamorous to tell so I just refused and smiled awkwardly. Lol I'm so not comfortable with social interactions.

That's where Juliette came ♥. It was the only person I properly met before ! Since there weren't any seat left, we left the Bubble Tea shop and went to a Chinese supermarket. We (mostly I) bought some shitty things to stuff my face with.

Then Stephy and Nalia left because it was already quite late (they have a curfew, that's kinda cute). Juliette had to leave too since she was going home with one of her friend.

(got a picture with Stephy anyway. I'm on the left. Look at my ultra large seme shoulder. No really, it's the weird angle D:)

I didn't feel like going home yet (it was 6pm!) so I stayed with Sabrina in the end. I thought she was only a K-Pop fan but no, she likes VK too ! I was glad, it would be awkward since I'm not that good with conversations. xD

We went to the Japanese district to search for some candies, one she saw in a Korean drama. We didn't find it, so we went to Book Off. I didn't had to time to look properly, but at least I could learn more about her preferences. I NOW KNOW THAT SHE LIKES AN CAFE LIKE CRAZY AND HER ULTIMATE BIAS IS KANON.

A hour later she had to go home, and I did too since I didn't want to wander alone in Paris (not so much stuff to do anyway). We were short in time but it was very nice. No awkward silence and such .

It's been a long time since I felt that good after a random planned walk xD.

Hope to see you soon ladies !

We don't see it much, but it's dark purple...

At first, I was going just because I wanted to stay with a friend of mine for her first/second concert. But it turned out she was in the GFC and was entering the concert hall before me. So we got separated -she was in the third row, I was in the middle (7th/8th row ?) just for the amazing pogo. My arm got hurt though but I don't really mind !

I bought a tank top (around 20€) and that's all... The merch was pretty expensive (15€ the photoset, not even signed ; but I think it's just SCREW = HELLO I'M IN PSC).

Nothing much to say about this concert, I'm quite lazy right now lol. But it really killed me, and even if everyone say otherwise, Byo's voice is fine live ! He had some trouble with high pitched notes but it was overall okay.

I won't deny I liked the fanservice BECAUSE I'M A PERVERTED GIRL.

Two of my friends, Charlie and Lyne, slept in front of the venue and got scolded by the concert hall staff... A guy with a beard. Charlie hates him since he's always around barking at people and looking at the fans like shit. I have to agree that he's not really polite, I already saw him at D'espairsRay and he was swearing/cursing at some fans lol.



Erm. Whatever. I talked to Charlie and Lyne, but they quickly got tired of the rain and wanted to drink something and stay somewhere warm. They went to the nearest bar and I went back to the queue, waiting for Kei. She arrived 10 minutes after and, well, we spent all the after noon talking, sometimes meeting some people. It was nice, actually, even if my hoodie was VERY wet and I was cold.



Around an hour before the doors' opening, I got interviewed for a French television, le Petit Journal. They tend make fun of K-Pop & J-Rock fans, so I was like "... erm I don't want to..." but since I'm a coward and I'm too scared to say no, I answered the questions. I was serious, so I guess they will cut me out the video. Or change the context so I sound stupid and such. xD








(nope, the girl isn't me, I took the picture when I was beside her. I think she won't cut her out the video because her outfit was... colorful ? Like "I wrote LM.C on my cheek, I stuck a bandage with stars on my nose, and I have an enormous Chupa Chups in my hands to look like Mayaaaaaaaaaaa". Poor girl.)

After the interview, I saw one of my best friends/concert buddies, Alexis ! He was just here to give some flyers about SCREW's upcoming concert (June, 9th at Paris. & I'm going), he didn't have enough money to attend LM.C. I'm quite sad for him, I know he would have loved to see them... (dude, if you are reading this, you have all my support/love and shit and Teru too. Well he'll understand)

* * *

I wasn't going to the concert at first, but I finally went AND I REGRET NOTHIIIING. The last time, the waiting was long and the fans were boring and bitchy, this time they were pretty cool even if there were some people I didn't wish to see /out. But we just ignored each other so it's ok, I guess.



Like I said, I wasn't in the pit, but behind. I had enough space to move like I wanted, jumping around, DANCING DURING SUPER DUPER GALAXY, even headbanging sometimes. It was great, and the view was perfect. The only problem I had was that I couldn't hear Maya very well because the sound was shitty/sound engineer was in LM.C's staff and wasn't used to French gears... I don't really know but it went better at the 4th or 5th song.



Maya was more energetic than the last time, but Aiji and Denki-Man, in my opinion, were more discreet. A shame, really, since I love them. The session members were adorable, too ! I shouted for them actually lol. Poor guys didn't have much love from the fans.



The public, behind, didn't move much. I was the only one going very wild and crazy and shouting (my throat is sore right now xD). I think I pissed the guys behind me but, Hell, it's LM.C. YOU ARE MEANT TO MOVE IN THEIR CONCERTS, GOD DAMN IT.



(I also moved like crazy because the last concerts I went, I wasn't allowed to move much since I was in the staff or with a press pass... So yeah, I let out all my frustration in one go.)



The intro was their new one, Be STRONG, Be POP. I HATED this intro when I listened to their new CD, but in live, it instantly made everyone move like we were all in a club or something. It was great, really. Same for Ah Hah!. I didn't hate it, but it didn't phase me... But now I surprise myself by singing it out loud without even realizing what I am doing. Power of LM.C : make you sing their song unconsciously.



I'm not sure but then we got BABY TALK or something like that. I didn't realize it was this song since the first half of it... I didn't hear Maya. Like, not at all. I only recognized when I heard the "Hello, hello, hello" thingy. I'm quite sad since it was the first and I think, only song I liked immediately in Strong Pop. :/ But well I can't do anything about it...



I think we had something before (a new song), and then they played Bell the CAT. Everyone was happy with it -old soooong yeaaah ! They added an intro, making the audience clap their hands. I did. My hands were red then. Erm. Very enthusiastic Ga-Yi is very enthusiastic. After Bell the CAT, new song I didn't recognize, then GHOST † HEART ! One of my all time favorite songs, along with OH MY JULIET.... Which they played right after.

I think I never shouted so much in my life xD.



I forgot the rest of the set list, but I remember they played an interlude (probably the Strong Pop one, "We are LM.C") to make us shout, clap our hands, and jump. It was pretty energetic and I was like "OH MY GOD THEY ARE ACTUALLY MAKING US DOING FITNESS".



I remember then @FUNNY PHANTOM@, where I hurt badly my left knee (it's actually swollen right now and it hurts like Hell), and it didn't get better with SUPER DUPER GALAXY coming after. I liked this song, and it was freaking good live ! You don't want to jump during this song, you just want to dance. So yeah, I danced and I hope nobody filmed me because I was ridiculous. xD



Another song I didn't know (but I'm pretty sure it was GAME of LIFE), OMG, 88. I still remembered the lyrics so I sang along, and despite what people might think, this song makes you move. And sing/shout. And well, yeah. It kills you. It was not like 2010, where everyone sang in a cappella in rhythm. Yesterday was messy but it was funny.



During 何も始まらなかった一日の終わりに (Nanimo Hajimaranakatta Ichinichi no Owarini), which I don't like at all, I took a picture :3. Not very neat, but here it is o/ :








Since most of their songs in the end were pretty recent, I didn't recognized them. I'm pretty sure the last song was LET ME CRAZY!! though (not sure at 100%, I don't remember if we got Hoshi no Arika before or after)... Not the best one to finish a concert but, hey, THE ENCORE WAS FUCKING EPIC AND KILLED ME. In a right way ! This time, I went to the pit to have some fun.



LM.C asked us what we wanted, and we shouted BOYS&GIRLS, so they played it (with an epic intro including boys/girls alternate shouting, poor guys were 20 or something) at first. Like always when I know lyrics, I sang along with some epic jumps xD.



After this, they were supposed to play PUNKY ❤ HEART according to their set list, but everyone shouted "CHEMICAL KING-TWOON !" and they really played it, even if Maya wasn't sure if it was okay (he was like "... dude can we play it ?" with one of the staff member). Aww they are adorable ;___;. I really missed Aiji's voice.



Last song was ☆Rock the LM.C☆. 'nough said. Anyone who attended at least once a LM.C's concert how wild the audience goes with this song. I think it was perfect to end a concert xD !



When Maya began to introduce the members after ☆Rock the LM.C☆, I really got that the live was going to end. But really, I was happy, and I don't regret at all to have killed my knees/my throat/my back/everyfuckingthing. It's one of the best concert I attended this year, and I mean it. When I'm writing this, I'm still in the concert mood, and I admit it was a bit hard to wake up to say to myself "... It ended".



I wish they would come back next year ! I won't hesitate and I recommend you to go too, if by chance, they come nearby. 8D
