Mix Speaker's,Inc. - Bochum [EU tour]

Jan 23, 2009 22:28



It all started off on Thursday, after a long day at work I hurried back home, grabbed my stuff and took a quick shower because I had to catch my train at 7. The weather was already horrible, rain and a very cold wind so I wasn't looking very forward to this. But I knew that there would be awesome people waiting there so I stayed positive. I ate something at Venlo since I had to wait 45 minutes and then hopped onto the train to Dusseldorf.

When I arrived there it was all very confusing 'cause none of the boards said 'BOCHUM' and the man was speaking too fast for me. Thankfully I ran into a really nice guy who had to go there as well, and he accompanied me on the train to Bochum. He told about the city and his journey's to Australia and how he liked Holland! Haha, it was a lot of fun but then we had to get off (The trainride seemed to take 93839 hours T__T) When I said goodbye to him, I already saw the people from Little Star coming towards me, and Tobi who was waiting for me upstairs! I can't describe how happy I was to see you all, haha! While we were waiting for our bus, a group of Japanese girls came up to us. Seemed like they were going to see Mix Speaker's,Inc. as well! I was so happy, especially because one girl would cosplay seek! *___* Now I was sad I didn't bring mine, but I surely would've ruined it wearing it (And it was SO cold)

We talked for a bit, before we had to rush outside and catch our bus. They said they'd be at the hall around 9AM so we would meet them there. The weather outside was rainy and cold, and when we arrived at the hall, I was happy to see we were able to stay in the Biergarten until the morning. It was still cold but we were atleast shielded from the rain and wind a little. Inside there was some..Party going on and at one point I really wanted to go in to become warm T__T I got tired, me and Tobi tried to sleep a little. On the floor, in the chair..But nothing helped ; A ; We were just SO cold! (Even wearing 39839 layers of clothing and two blankets..) Around 6, when the party had ended we were invited to come into the hall to warm up a little. I thanked God on my bare knees and rushed inside, completely forgetting about my bag. The guy there gave us COFFEE so I had a little breakfast inside. We even could stay there longer as I thought! Tried to sleep a little but..It didn't quite work, fixed my make-up and everything before we got send out around 9:30 again. (Well we rushed outside once to get our bags because it had been raining! Thankfully, nothing got wet)

Meanwhile the Japanese had arrived as well, and people kept on running back and forth to see if the band had already arrived. Nothing D: It was about an hour before the signing session when a van drove passed us, and all I did was make the ugliest face ever XD!! Tobi and I, along with the rest had been sitting against the wall, just chatting and laughing. It was good to see the people from Paris again, since they were so nice and fun to hang around with!
More people started to come, and since we had gotten a number we tried to line up, but without success. There were barriers put up, and THEN we finally had some sort of line for the signing session. I had been talking a lot with the Japanese girls, and the seek cosplayer was doing her best to get it done in time. She looked so awesome ; A ;!

Being a little late, they finally opened the door, and 10 people were allowed in every time. I think I was in the 3rd group to go in, bought the Monster Data book and then (very nervous) walked into the hall where they were signing. At this point I was shitting bricks.

Yuki
It was so adorable when he looked up and smiled bigger. I secretly hoped he remembered me from Paris, since I bombed him with presents. He signed my book (After looking where to sign for a bit XD) looked up and smiled. All I could bring out was 'Arigatou..Thank you.." and he laughed in the most adorable way!

Miki
He looked so good! In Paris he was wearing his facemask so, I wasn't able to get a good view. He said hello with a big grin, signed my book and shook my hand. 'Thank you'

Aya
Now, this was quite odd. 'Cause the moment I stood infront of him I could do nothing more but just..Grin. He noticed it and somehow smiled/laughed and signed his part, shook my hand and then he spoke. A part of me died a little because I love it when he speaks XDDD!

Keiji
That man,...That man is SO gorgeous. The new haircolor suits him so well. It's a darkbrown with blonde/darkblonde. He was wearing those light-blue lenses and had the most adorable smile. He looked where to sign, smiled and tilted his head going all 'Thank you!!'

S
Aww, he was wearing his mask again TT__TT I would've loved to catch a glimpse of his face! But I could hear his voice clearly and it was such a cute sign. We kinda lost the page so he had to ask Seek where he was, nearly signed the wrong page and laughed. Shook my hand and,..He didn't let go for a good 20 seconds or so. My hands were really cold and he kept on thanking me. Haha, cute!

seek
Woaa. I was so happy to see him again. Smiling broad. He found his page and laughed (No idea why) and looked up, signed it and thanked me. His voice is so much love, so deep and..Woa.

I walked out, slowly. And I was quiet for a really long time until I got back in line. It was overwhelming. They were so nice!!
When most of the people were out again, we got to stand back behind the barrier, together with the Japanese. I told one girl about my cosplay and showed it to her, and then she suddenly said Yuki had written something about it! O___O I couldn't figure out where, but I most certainly am going to ask her ; A ;! We talked about the band for a long time, had a few good laughs and exchanged mail-adresses. Too bad I couldn't find the other two girls anymore ; A ;

After WAITING and WAITING, they FINALLY opened the doors and people started pushing like mad. Thankfully someone had saved me a spot right infront of Yuki (Seeing as I left my stuff with Tobi, who wasn't allowed to stay in ;___;!) and I got ready, put my stuff in the right order. Got interviewed for some German TV station (LOL) and then waited a little longer listning to baroque-styled music. Then the music started! (YES, I obtained the setlist. Same as Paris but NOW in the right order XD)

Mach Stars Instrumental
Same entrance as in Paris, but now I knew the furi! They all had awesome entrances, even Aya looked...Less drunk XD! There was some minor pushing at the front but I survived it.

YOU♪愛♪メッセージ
YAAAAY. I am starting love this furi so much! Yuki and Miki already got hyped up, and so was the crowd, jumping around. But the whole jumping left-right wasn't that much of a success. People tried to stand in my place so I had to push them back again (I'm sorry but..MY spot >O) The front row rocked, doing the furi! (Even though some didn't quite get the point like the girl next to me)

Pandora
Seek came to the front and started shouting. Everyone started headbanging like mad, including myself. (So bad they didn't bring their megaphones XD) We all hung over the front row going back and forth, then jumped up and went completely nuts. I love this song because it's a little harder, especially the headbanging part was GREAT! Miki looked so proud at us when we were done headbanging XD! Aya and seek played together a lot during this song, wich was a lovely sight.

Friday Night Busters
Miki had taken out the papers, first up was HEADBANG! Some people were a little confused but we started headbanging like mad. Next paper up was CLAP YOUR HANDS, and so everyone did! Me and a few others were doing the furi, and THEN when the others saw it they started doing it as well (Even though they seemed confused..) We also mentioned people to be quiet when Miki whispered his part..took awhile but we got there. Aya came to the front and we did his clapping part. *___* He looked so happy! The last part was not 'JUMP' but SHOUT! and seek came to the front, shouting and everyone joined in! All the papers were thrown into the audience, one saying 'BOCHUM, WE <3 YOU' (Ooooh Miki)

MC
Haha, Yuki took over again and started babbling. This time in English, but it was quite well! Miki just stared at him and laughed occasionaly XD!

☆彡Station
Got the towels out again and tried my best to remember the furi. Had to jump around and around, wich...Noone was doing except me and a few others in the front row. The girl behind me looked so annoyed but HEY, just doing what the band is doing XD! I still need to get the small towels, because this failed really hard haha. I DID DO THE HEART SIGN! (I finally got it XD) I love this song.

Innocent World
Seeing as they have a PV for this song, the furi was pretty obvious and many joined in! This song still means a lot to me because of the cosplay and the many times we have viewed this PV and live..Miki looked at me when I did the last part and smiled, because it's a part you can only see clearly in the DVD. It was LOOOOVE.

Montart Family
Miki mentioned everyone to be quiet and announced the next song. Monstart Family. JUMPING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AGAIN. (Miki and Yuki were just..Jumping up against each other and seemed to have the greatest fun XD!) People started to get the hang of it, even though it was hard to get back to my own place XD. I got DoDo out (....I felt lonely again D:) Tried to jump to the right, and back left again but the girl next to me wouldn't let me. I reached out with DoDo for Miki, but Yuki came over and pointed his DoDo at mine XD! It's good to be the only DoDo out sometimes haha.

MC
Yuki talked again. This time in German. "Ich,..Liebe dich!" and Miki hurried over, took the mic and stepped forward. Looked at Yuki a little accusing and went. "No,..WIR LIEBE DICH" Hahaha. Someone got owned. Miki looked proud and Yuki just had to laugh!

宇宙色パラソル
This time no tears were spilled but I just reached out to them. It's a beautiful song and has touched me. The girl next to me had to cry, poor thing. So I hugged her. I still can't say more than..'Beautiful'

MC
Miki was looking for a paper, of where he had drawn something on. LESSON 1 There was a little talk, before Miki came up to the front and did a little sketch. 'We,..Teach you to dance!" He looked at Yuki who cleared his throat and laughed. Then started singing Little Star acapella while Miki showed us the dance. I still think it's hard to do T___T! He hopped back to his mic, looked at us and smiled. "One more time?..OK!" and ran back to the front, looked at Yuki with a smile and he started singing again. Then they started..

little star
As I said,..HARD furi! Miki kept on confusing me by using one or two fingers. But I understood the 'Oyasumi' part. I just looked at Miki and how he tried to show everyone how to do it, in the most adorable way. Yuki sat down infront of us and laughed when my finger wasn't quite...cooperating D:

SpaceHunter
Hahaha, well what can I say. It was as awesome as it was before, but I actually shouted '3-2-1 BANG' at Miki when he passed by and he stopped and pointed his finger at me (Lol, shooting each other? ;D) The robot dance,..Just a few did it XD I still LOVE it!

青いモンスカー
THIS SONG TOTALLY KICKED ASS,..again. They started off normal, dancing and ran to the front to let us sing. So they mentioned they would do it again. FASTER! I just pumped my fist and shouted, Yuki sat down and held his mic towards us. Everyone had moved places, and Aya was happy to see everyone shouting along. Then, ONE MORE TIME! Aya seemed to enjoy it so much, going FASTER and FASTER XDDD! (I thought he'd fall over at one point XD) seek was standing on the right and Aya had come to our side together with Miki and Yuki. We all went wild!

Crash Clover
Another of my favourite songs. Everyone started headbanging, hanging over the fence. Yuki came to the front again when we had to jump. And headbang again. He simply looked at me when I was singing the calm part, and smiled, sitting there for a bit. But then we had to jump again. And headbanging again. *___* GREAT!

JUNK STORY
Hmpfh. I LOVE THIS SONG! THE FURI. We all had to move left, and right and back again XD At one point I got stuck and smiled while screaming XD (Like: O:) and Yuki looked over reaching his hand out but yeah. CAN'T TOUCH DIZ. It was cute though ; -- ; I can't really,..tell. I guess it'll always be MY memory. We did the furi and moved again XD I guess it looked like one big mess but awesome nonetheless!

ENCORE

1.Go!Go!Bremen
They all came out in a line again XD Stood right infront of us and we got our tambourines out, clapping on the beat. It was so much fun to see a lot of people join in, even though it's hard to do when you're squished together. But standing front, I had a lot of space (I accidently hit the girl next to me twice XD) All the practise was worth it, everything went perfect. Aya nearly hopped off the side of the stage, laughing along with Keiji when he jumped the other way XD And finally a chance to get a good view of S!

2.MONSTIME
Everyone had to spin around again wich was a lot of fun XD! I totally had no idea what I was doing. Covered our ears when Seek was singing XDD! The best part of this song was,..they end with kimi mo doremi and..I was the only one (atleast next to me noone) who was saying it. Yuki was seated there again and smiled, looked at me while I sang 'DO-RE-MI' and made this hand movement, he then made a small fist out of his hand and reached out. So did I and just bumped them together ; A ;. He came back another time, laughing when I sang the part wich was cute.

3.YOU♪愛♪メッセージ
PARTY PARTY. Hahaha, doing the furi again and saying goodbye. It was all so great. But also sad. The last song. The last song for probably,..A long time D: They all went completely out of their mind. Jumping around and so was the audience. I didn't want to be sad so..I just shouted along and dit the furi. Jumping around, I didn't care anymore as long as they could've seen everyone was having fun!

After this song, they all gathered together and started walking around. They said their goodbyes. Yuki shouted 'Arigatou' and seek took over the mic. They promised to come back, and I hope they will come back soon. Miki passed by and shook hands, I screamed for Aya when it was a little quiet and he just looked up all surprised XD! Then Keiji walked by pretending to throw is bottle away XD What a tease. S came by, squatted down and touched hands but I can imagine he was pretty damn tired. Yuki sat down right infront of me again, mic away and kept on saying thank you. I couldn't help myself but smile, and thank him in return. He shook my hand and continued to the other side. He was the last one to leave (again XD) Smiled, shouted before he walked off, waving.

I catched the setlist when they were cleaning the stage and hurried off to wherever I saw a familliar face. Wich in this case were the Japanese XD Izumi (seek cosplay) had undressed XD and Mari was all happy! I thanked them for the great live, but we had to move outside anyway. Then I bumped into the two other girls, AND THEY BROUGHT ME A SMALL AYA STICKER ;____;! It was so cute and adorable of them! We had to move further to the back, made a picture and then we were actually kicked outside. Poor Tobi was freezing to death ;___;! I quickly changed into my sweater (even though it felt nasty) and went outside together with the Japanese. (I was sad I couldn't say goodbye to the germans! ;___;) I had to wait for my parents to come pick me up, when I called they hadn't even left yet so..2 hours. The Japanese wanted to wait for the band but the weather was ape-shit D: So we helped them getting a taxi and said goodbye. I was so sad to see them leave but there were still a few awesome people left! Shou, the girl I met in france, another girl, Tobi and I. We desperatly tried to keep each other warm, hoping that the band would come out cause we had nothing else to do than to wait.
Then we figured there were 2 exits when my parents called D: Appearently they have seen them leave too XDDD!

We drove Tobi back to the front and I said goodbye to the others. I was freezing and my feet were soaking wet ; A ;. I felt so sad to leave them and that Shou couldn't see seek ;___;

Once home I just...sat on the couch. Trying to warm up. Talked about the concert with my parents, but I was mainly very...Sad. Sad and happy. Never did I care about a band this much, never was there a band that seemed to care for their FANS so much. And Yuki..
I have no words for it. Memories that will stay and noone can take away from me. But I felt he recognized me. It's sad they didn't write more about the live in Germany, but telling from their faces, they had a blast.

Please come back soon. We're awaiting you!

Thanks to all the wonderful people that I had seen again, the new people I got to know. Izumi and Mari and the other two for teaching me the furi for ロボホッホ (Still sad they didn't play it D:) Thank you Tobi! For doing all this while..You didn't even get to go inside.

Thank you, Mix Speaker's,Inc.

This sure was a WONDER TRAVELLING!
