OK, so on Sunday me and Nocchan went to see An Cafe's live at Downtown Disney.

IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME.♥
It was my first live, so I felt kinda nervous at first. xD;; But I'm glad that for my first con, I got to go see a band I really love.♥
By the time we got there (which was pretty late), there were a lot of cafekkos already lined up. There were two lines, but I think one was for people who bought HOB stuff (so they get to "jump the line" and get let in first--lol I found this out afterwards). There were all sorts of people there, from fans dressed in goth-loli or punk outfits to parents and kids. The funniest one was this really intense middle-aged lady (a mom?) on the second floor balcony (a lot of the older people were up there lol).
Next time, I'd wanna go earlier so we can be near the front (we'd have to go like in the morning though). We were in the back of the floor crowd, but even that was still pretty close so it was all good.
Lol, when we were inside Noz was singing along to the old J-pop songs they were playing. xD;;
IDK why they were playing old J-pop songs.
I don't think I've ever screamed so loud in my life. xD;;
I didn't think I would get THAT excited, but when they first came out I couldn't control myself. I heard this really high scream; I didn't even think it was me, so I looked around but there wasn't anyone behind me. xD;; And then I was like "Oh wait, it's just Teruki" and I calmed down a bit. LOL sorry Teruki. ILU. When the rest of the band came out, I screamed some more (especially for Kanon and Takuya), but that initial entrance really got my heart beating even if it was only Teruki.
During the concert, I would look over at Noz and she would "whoo!" but I couldn't tell if she was being serious or sarcastic. xD;; But I know the ones directed at Takuya were true fangirl screams. O;
I was waving my arms like the whole time. It was hard keeping balance (I had to stand on this edge to see over everyone--lol, it sucks being a short person at a concert) but I had to get down to do the furi without falling over. xD;; I got so tired. And now I'm sore. But it was so much fun!
Of course, they were wearing their AROMA outfits. I loooove their AROMA outfits. SO HOT. ;DDD
Kanon is soooo gorgeous.♥
Takuya is soooo cool.
Yuuki is soooo cute. Haha, he's always so colorful.
Miku was pretty too; Sometimes he can look weird IMO, but he's been looking really good lately. and Teruki was kinda the same as always. xD;;
As for the concert itself, it was so energetic and fun~.
Miku was really intense and dramatic and awesome. At the beginning, he was like "How are you?" so of course we all yelled "NYAPPY!!!!"
I love Yuuki even more now. I can't see how anyone can not fall in love with Yuuki after seeing him dance during lives.
Kanon and Takuya were soooo cool! When they play back-to-back it's CHO KAKKOI. And Kanon is so cute when he jumps around and when he headbangs.
Teruki was in the back, so you couldn't really see him as well. But he danced with Yuki a little at the end and it was really cute.
Miku had out his Donald Duck puppet (for Duck no Magical Adventure) and this Mickey Mouse plushie (which was signed by all the members), and he was like "Which you like better? Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?" And after everyone screamed "DONALD DUCK!!!" he was like "Ok, ok, me too." xD;; And he pretended to throw the Mickey plushie a few times but ended up throwing it somewhere in the middle. I KNOW YOU COULD HAVE REACHED US MIKU!!!
Miku also sprayed everyone in the front with water/spit. He also dumped water on his head and headbanged. LOL what interesting ideas for crowd-cooling. xD;; He had a lot of water bottles and threw them all in the crowd when they were empty. One of them landed close to us~. And during the encore, he brought out Donald again! Plus the pink mallet that he likes bopping the front row with. xD;; And he put his bangs up and looked really cute.
Takuya threw one or two of his picks to the crowd towards the end. Haha, I bet Noz would've fought someone for it if he had thrown one anywhere near us.
A lot of people threw stuff onstage too. Like Donald Duck and bunny plushies. And I think I saw someone toss up the poster that everyone was signing outside (I put signed Kanon's part and Noz wrote "aishiteru" on Takuya's part, haha).
The little parts when they talked in English were LOVE.
Kanon was like "I...are?-laugh-...I want to make you melt." WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE KANON!? It was extra cute because he messed up. xD;;
And Takuya said he loves us.♥ ILU2 TAKUYA.
TERUKI'S VOICE IRL IS SO EPIC. Ahh~ Teruki's voice + English = too cute for words!
It's kind of hard to remember everything because it was so much to take in (plus I have a crap memory), but I know they did a lot of the songs I like, mostly their newer songs like MY ♥ LEAPS FOR C, Summer Dive, AROMA, Zetsubou, and Nyappy in the World 4, and even some older songs like Snow Scene, Bonds, and Tekesuta Kousen(yayy these three are all favorites of mine).
I tried to sing along when I could. I like Cherry Saku Yuuki a LOT more now after hearing it live. Shouting the elements and "SINE COSINE TANGENTO!!" with everyone is sooo fun. xD
I heard they did Kawayu's Rock and Orange Dream, but I don't really remember. I vaguely remember Kawayu's Rock because that must've been the one towards the beginning when Miku was growling. And I think I would've remembered Orange Dream if the crowd got quieter like I expected (it's such an emotional song!), but the crowd was pretty pumped the whole time.
At the end, when Miku was like "Show me your special smile!" and I was like OMG YESSSS because I knew that meant it was time for Smile Ichiban Ii Onna. That song is the one that made me really fall in love with An Cafe. <333
After it was all over, Disneyland was just doing their fireworks show, so we sat outside and watched with everyone else. LOL but Noz kept saying we should sneak back in and kidnap Takuya. Mannn, it was such an amazing night.♥
LOL when my mom picked me up she was asking (in Japanese) "What kind of concert? What do you call them...Jonsy brothers? Miley?" And I was like "ROFL. Uhh...not exactly."
Here are some pics I took after I got home~.
This is what I wore. I wanted to wear something way more colorful, but I didn't really have much to choose from. >_>;;
Aaaand here's the stuff I bought!
I got a T-shirt ($25), lunchbox ($30), and postcard set ($6).
The lunchbox is really cute. >w< ♥
Afterwards, I kind of regretted not getting the shirt with the tour dates on it, but during the encore they all came out wearing the same shirt I got, so I was happy. xD;;
I still kind of want the other shirt though. I might end up ordering it and the Harajuku Dance Rock album later.
SIGHHH IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
I really hope they come back! They said they would, so Miku, let me trust your words!
Next time, we should all go together! ;D
