18/05/2012 Angelo live in Hong Kong report
18.05.2012 (Friday)
KITEC 3/F Auditorium 8:00pm
God damn it, the live was so fxxking exciting.
Simply put, it was great.
It was raining hard at night and sadly I arrived late for about half an hour, all thanks to work. (Why must people be late at meetings!?) *sob sob sobs* By the time I rushed in, the live had already started for about 15 minutes time. T___T

Honestly, I hadn't listened to Angelo nor paid much attention to them for a very long time, but their live performance on 18/05/2012 Friday night left me speechless, in a good way of course.
But what else should I have expected? After all it's Kirito, Kohta, Takeo, Karyu and Giru (I don't know much about Giru, but whatever) added together. XD
The stage is a small one but luckily the audience was allowed to stand pretty close to it, there was also a black and white “Angelo –the creature was reborn out of hades-” backdrop hanging at the back of the stage.
To tell you the truth I hardly knew which songs they had played last night (I seriously need the setlist in order to track down the songs I'd heard...), but........whatever. I had a great time.

I stood at the right hand side of the stage in row four, and it was pretty close to the stage already and I got to see Karyu most of the time. XDDD
But Takeo was hardly in sight 'cause he got blocked by Karyu and Kirito a lot.XD
By the way, Karyu looked, dressed and acted pretty much the same in concert like I remembered when he was still with D'espairsRay (plus he's still using the same white guitar with those pretty black patterns!), although his outfit looks surprisingly Bohemian. (Also I'm seriously getting envious of Karyu's styled hair right now) XD
By the end of the live, the members returned to the stage changing into white tour t-shirts, and Karyu wore one with its collar cut very low as well.^.^
(Sorry I talk on and on about Karyu, I’m totally biased. XD)
But it's a pity I can't understand most of the MCs Kirito (who dressed in long-sleeved white shirt and black pants, and changed into a black sleeveless shirt, which showed his tattoos, during encore) had said. *sobs* But he commented that HK's audience are cute (in Japanese), and then he said that we're great in English (at one time I heard him asked us "Do you understand?" in Japanese and commented that Cantonese is pretty difficult with all the up-and-down sounds). ^_^
I also faintly remember Kirito saying something like they’ll go to HK again sometime later but I’m not sure. Then a friend of mine mentioned part of Kirito’s MC as the following:
Kirito: we will be back next week
audience: ehhhhh???
kirito: that's a lie
So it looks like I missed out the “That’s a lie” part.XD
PS: I so wanna draw Kirito-chibi right now.*laughs her head off*
I could hear the sound of Kohta's bass most of the time, but due to some sound system problem, the guitar lines were missing/weakened from time to time. (as usual, the sound system in Auditorium is no good, a male friend of mine commented that Kirito looked frustrated during the latter part of the live because of it, I noticed it as well) u___u
At one point I saw Giru putting up his tour t-shirt too. He surely got some interesting black tattoo on his upper body. XD
In one of the breaks, Kohta said “Thank you” (I’m not 100% sure it’s what he said, memory failure, you know) in Cantonese, while looking at a piece of paper (with the MC written on it), then Kirito took turn forcing--er no, encouraging members to say something to the audience.

The audience in my opinion is a bit inactive but it didn’t stop them from cheering, screaming and head-banging through out the performance. The first of the few songs didn't impress me much, but during the latter half of the live, as the music got heavier, darker, louder and Kirito started his monstrous screams, I was like: "Ohhhhhhohhhhhhhhh! That's it that's it that's it that's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Their live performance is soooooooooooooo superb, much much better than any Angelo's tapes you can find on Youtube.

Actually, the muscles on the back of my neck ached due to too much head-banging (I'm getting old, I know it), and my ears were ringing badly that I had difficulty hearing sounds by the time when the live came to an end (it *didn’t* happen when I attempted Versailles’ live when they played in the same venue). Well, the performance is that powerful.^^;

It's the tour goods corner.
They didn't sell any tour t-shirt; what a pity! But I did get a sticker and a poster. And I got a Giru sticker.

And when the live came to an end, I felt I still didn't have enough. ARGH!!!!!
Btw, I got to meet my LJ friends and in persons afterward.
After the live, fans who bought the full-set tour goods were being arranged to line up for the band members’ autographs, but I didn’t go.

As usual, there was also a wedding took place on ground floor.(these anti-complex wedding notes near the notes for concerts always amuse me.XD)

Out of boredom, I also took a picture of the newly wedded couple.
PSSS: Kirito also posted some interesting photos on his kirito_angelo twitter!
PSSSS: here's a very short news article about the live (Chinese): http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/entertainment/20120520/00282_022.html?pubdate=20120520
Angelo live in HK also inspired me to draw chibis for the members. Hahaha.
enjoy!

Kirito

Kirito in his witch-like black outfi.XD

That's supposed to be Kohta, but I don't think I'd got his hair right.T_T

Karyu with his many-layers outfit!^_^

That's supposed to be Giru, but I most likely got his look wrong.T_T
as to Takeo............his chibi is still unfinished!T_T
these chibis are based on C.I.Boys mini figures, actually.
