Today was the Kansai area's MUCC ~Shake Hand Party which was down at Nishinomiya Gardens!
To get a ticket to the Handshake Event, you had to buy the RE copy of Falling Down and any edition of Karma, and the two separate slips inside the CD you had to bring down to the venue and they would give you a proper ticket then. Ticket handing out started at 10am, but I slept in a bit this morning but still managed to get down to Nishikita by 10:25ish (lucky that I live close @_@) but there were already A LOT of people there, so I got ticket No. 361.
It was still only 10:30, and the radio recording thing wasn't supposed to start until 12 so I had a looot of time to do nothing, so I people-watched and mailed
kazzeh. There was a dad who brought their little daughter along (she was probably around three or something?); I wish my dad brought me along to MUCC Handshake Events too /kicked. Karma was playing on loop the whole time~ But anyway moving on, the guys started setting up for the radio recording, but it was strange because they only set out three chairs and three mikes for the members, and one for the host. I think we were all panicking slightly by this point as to why there were only three chairs. Anyway, some guy came on stage and said something like, "We'll be starting soon! Are you all interested as to why there are only three chairs set out? Well unfortunately, the bassist Yukke isn't feeling well....". At this point, everyone was like "EHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?" and freaking out. ngl I was too |D. ".....so he won't be participating..." "EHHHHHHHHH?!?!?" "....but he will be here for the handshake event." The girl sitting next to me was basically having a heart attack because Yukke is her favourite member and was so relieved when they said he would be here later.
We sat in the sun for a little longer, before Tatsurou, Miya and Satochi came out with Falling Down playing in the background and Miya made us all clap to the beat. XD Tatsurou wore these baggy black pants, a black long-sleeved shirt and a vest with his hair looking all ~Pantene, Miya was wearing a spotty hoodie and shorts, and Satochi a grey hoodie and denim pants. Sorry I can't really remember much of the radio part, but the host asked them around four questions, and they had to write their answers on a little whiteboard thing. First the host asked them a little about the live they had at Yukke's old school yesterday since it was the school festival, and then got into the ~real questions. The first question was "At lives, which song is the most 'tiring'?" and Miya was basically like "All of the older songs, generally." So the host changed the question to "At lives, which song makes you 'feel good' when you're performing it?" (気持ちいい)
Tatsurou: 流星 (Ryuusei) 25時のゆうーうつ (25ji no Yuutsu)(Yes he wrote it with the ー in the Yuutsu XD)
Miya: 心色 (Kokoroiro)
Satochi: らんちゅう (Ranchuu) + this little character thing he drew on the board too.
The host was all "Why didn't you write the kanji for Ranchuu?" LOL
Then it was "So far, at lives, what has been the biggest pinch you've been in?"
Tatsurou's answer was something about his pants, and Miya's was the time when they were on the Taste of Chaos tour and none of the equipment arrived in America, and ages ago when he got in a fight with Tatsurou a day before a live and something about a glass?! and having to go to the hospital. |D /worst repo ever lol. I forgot what Satochi's answer was! >_> (But luckily the stuff they recorded today will be broadcast next Saturday on some station, hurrah).
There was a question (which I also forgot >_>) but Satochi's answer was "undies!" and went on to explain how when he went to America, he brought along like 30 pairs of undies (He said "30個(ko)" and the radio host said "...Isn't it meant to be 枚 (mai)?" [the counter]) but in a week he would only wear 5 pairs ("Oh wait...that's a little weird... I really meant 7 pairs") and would wash them at the end of the week so it wasn't necessary that he brought 30 pairs along, but it made him feel "安心" (made him feel ~reassured) HAHAHA.
They went overtime with the radio thing, so the handshaking event didn't start until around 1ish. The number on the ticket didn't end up mattering because "for our safety" it would be better to let people go row by row instead of by numbers, and a fair few people were all "EHHHHHHHHHH?!?!" about it. While we were waiting for MUCC to come back out, the host was telling us info about their upcoming Chemical Parade tour, and asked us, "Raise your hand if you've already got tickets to the Umeda show!" and quite a few people, (me included!) did. "Raise you hand if you've got tickets to all three of the Kansai shows!" (Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto) - less people, but still quite a few. "Raise your hand if you're going to go all the way to Okinawa for the last show!" - even less people, but there were some! "Raise your hand if you're going to go to ALL THE SHOWS around the country!" No one put their hand up, but these girls sitting in the middle kept pointing to some girls sitting in front of them XDDD
Eventually Tatsurou, Miya and Satochi came back out, and Yukke as well! :D Everyone was waving and going "YUKKEEEEEEE!!!!!!" and he got a little (///▽///) and kept bowing until he reached the stage.
Ninja'ing some photos since technically I wasn't allowed to take pics >_>
The girl sitting to the left of me suddenly turns to me and says "Do you know what you're going to say to them yet?" since from what we could see, each person had a fairly decent amount of time to talk to them. I was like D: IDK YET and I was already getting a little nervous, like in case I was to stuff up in Japanese horribly. The girl sitting to the right was like "やべぇぇー!めっちゃやべぇー!" XD then she asked me who was my favourite, so I said Tatsurou, and I figured that her favourite was Yukke from before hahaha. THEN IT STARTED RAINING skjngjkfg and I didn't bring an umbrella. :( I was wearing a beanie so I was okay while it was only sprinkling, until the rain started getting a lot heavier, and the girl next to me let me share her umbrella! So nice ToT
As we moved along in the line, we watched the people on stage - some girls got their hair ruffled by Tatsurou, and he even pinched some girl's cheeks LOL. :'D But the best part was Tatsurou bro fisting everyone. XD But anyway as we got closer and closer, the rain also stopped (yay) and I got so nervous (>_<).
Miya was the first one out of the four - he shook my hand and said こんにちは~ (Hello~) and I said something like 今日お疲れ様でした! (Thanks for your hard work today! ...IDK HOW ELSE TO TRANSLATE OTSUKARESAMA ;_;) and that オーストラリアから応援しておりま~す!(LOL basically like ~*~*I'VE BEEN SUPPORTING YOU GUYZ FROM AUSTRALIA YAY)(lol in hindsight this is so ridic but w/e I SAID IT), and Miya was like "えぇ?どこ?" (Ee? From where) so I said "Australia" again and he kind of got びっくり!(◎。◎)! and he asked me what I was doing in Japan, so I said I was on exchange, then the lady behind me shooed me onto Yukke. |D
Yukke was such a trooper for coming all the way out to Osaka for the event even though he wasn't feeling well. He was still pretty cheery for someone who was sick though! By this point my brain had turned into mush and apparently the only thing I remembered how to say was where I was from LOL D:, so I was like こんにちは~ オーストラリアからきました~! or something (hay guyz I'm from Australia) as I shook his hand and Yukke was all "お!すごいですね!" (Oh! ~*Sugoi) "今日本当によかったんです!" (Uhh... something like "Today is 4real really great!" /kicked) and Yukke said "またライブに楽しんでください" (Please come and enjoy one of our lives!) ;____; DAWWW Yukke.
Satochi was really, really happy. I told him where I was from, and he srsly just turned into this emoji -> Σ(゚ロ゚ノ)ノ. He couldn't speak for like three seconds as he kept shaking my hand and he ended up saying "Thanks, thanks!" in English. AWWW. XDDD
TATSUROU HELLZ YEAH. /biased. We did this hand slap/shake thing, and I said "Hi!!! Nice to meet you! :DDD" to Tatsurou in English (for lulz, seriously - me and
kazzeh were like WHAT WOULD HE DO IF I SPRUNG ENGLISH ON HIM 8'DDD) and he's like ~Hi! Nice to meet you too! and I told him where I was from etc. and he's like え?!本当ですか?オーストラリア?!本当にすごいですね! (4real? Australia?! That's really ~cool) and then the moment I was waiting for - WE BRO FIST'D. Fucking love this guy, lmao.
Then we got MUCC tissues. Well only the picture was MUCC, the tissues were just regular tissues. |D
Soo that was that! It was pretty fucking amazing, and they were all so nice! ♥
