#441: RADWIMPS!!
Oh my gosh RADWIMPS was SO RAD last night!!!So glad i went!
At first i wanted to go early around 5pm-ish (door opens 6.30pm), but i ended up dilly-dallying...
Got on the MRT, only to find out that i forgot my ticket orz. Luckily i realised when i just got on gosh.
Got my dad to bring my ticket and by the time i reached Orchard it was like 6pm already...
Ugh and i was getting flustered walking around orchard feeling lost and not seeing my destination. =.=
Wasn't in a good mood then, not to mention my phone was low on battery and somehow google maps and the GPS/3G wasn't working -_-
After briskwalking around for a while i finally reached the long queue, slightly before the door open time! Phew. Bet my face was totally flushed then.
Staff went down the queue scanning the QR codes and handing out paper wristbands. Got a red one because i was under 18 HAHA. (blue for over 18)
The guy noticed that my birthday was days away and wished me happy birthday yay :D
TAB Orchard is quite a small venue, so i wasn't that far away from the stage even though i didn't go early~
I was at a counter thingy right behind the mosh pit so it was pretty comfortable haha, though standing for 1.5 hours made my legs tired orz.
RADWIMPS were really awesome live!!
The bass, guitars and drums were all top-notch, and the best thing is, Yojiro's voice is /exactly/ the same as in the recorded tracks!! (or even better tbh)
Every single song was reallyyy gooooooood.
Their songs just make you want to groove/bob along~
The scene of people's hands in the air in a concert is just heartwarming. 感動した。
We also sang along during some parts \o/
My favourites from this live are probably「いいんですか」and「会心の一撃」~
会心の一撃 live ASDFSDLKGHDJGHJDKGH.
You'll know why i'm spazzing if you listen to it. THE GUITAR. LYRICS.
Sadly they didn't play my #1 favourite 透明人間18号 ;u;
Though they did play quite a few of my other favourites :D
Yojiro is a genius man. His English is really good. Like reaaally good, even has that native accent.
He has a large build and still manages to be cute!
He even danced around during the live lol. Can tell he really loves his music.
He was like the only member of the band who kept changing instruments?? A few guitars and a keyboard haha.
And omg they were grooving and just playing instrumental stuff between/in the middle of songs and it was really awesome.
The drummer and bassist spoke some Chinese too. So cute xD
Felt really blessed to understand English, Chinese and Japanese yay.
They promised to come back again, hopefully they will!!
キュン moments:
「あ、曲間違った」
「あ、また間違った」
The softly spoken 「Thank you」after certain songs ;u;
「愛してるよ」
「いいんですよ」
「はいこっち来て座り」
At the end, when they held hands and bowed...
本当に、すごく感動しちゃった。
来てくれて、ありがとう。
また来てね。
(i'm sorry WEAVER but after this live RADWIMPS has become my #1 ;u;)
On a side note, JAPAN IN JUST ONE MORE DAY WHOOHOO.
