Live Report: Jrock Evolution 2012 @Legacy Taipei, 21 October,2012


List of performing bands (in order)

girugamesh
Alice Nine
Mucc


Report part 1 here

M: Still...I think part of the reason why I’m only lukewarm to A9 and most of the PSC’s bands is because they’re a bit too user-friendly.=__=

S: You mean too pop?

M: Not that......there’s just...hardly anything aggressive, threatening or provoking in their music.=__=

S: And I bet A9 looks a bit too clean-cut for you.XD

M: *sighs* Even my 10 years old cousin realized I like ‘creepy guys’ once she saw me bought a HIM t-shirt.XD

PS: The HIM t-shirt in question, has the image of Ville Valo on it, just like the following picture:



M: I mean, the ‘visual kei’ bands which I like, on the appearance-level, are those that tended to be more unsettling, shocking or outrageous. PSC’s bands always look tamed.^_^;;
S: huh...I don’t always like pinkish pretty boys neither, but I’m okay with Alice Nine.

Okay, so Alice Nine’s performance came to the end, we’re left waiting for the last performing band, Mucc...

M: Mucc!!!
S: MUCC!!!!!
M: I had barely listened.to their music, but surprisingly I found myself smitten with their music after listening to them live!
S: I like them!XDDD

Stay tune for Part 4 of the report!

I also took photo of a large bouquet at the entrance, it was for girugamesh:

There was also one for Alice Nine (the photo is a bit blurry, sorry!)

M: By the way, some of the fans' behaviors pissed me off a bit.
S: Like?
M: That girl who stood next to me kept banging her head when Alice Nine was performing. I don't mind people banging their heads but I hate it when her long hair kept lashing right across my face.
S: That happened to me too during girugeamesh's performance! >___<
M: I mean, What's your problem!? Why bang your head from left to right, right to left when you know your *long* hair would hit someone else right at her face!?
S: This is inconsiderate!>__<
M: Anyway, I'm glad that seemed like this girl wasn't there when Mucc was performing.

After Alice Nine's performance came to an end, a lot of people retreated from the front rows. The good news being, that girl who kept lashing her hair was gone as well. I don't know how many had left or moved to the back of the livehouse, but me and Shizuka seized the chance and moved right up to the center of the crowd anyway.

A shot of the audience, it was not so crowded anymore, as you can see.

So now, there're about 100 to 150 people in front of us instead of 300...

M: Wow! So now we got closer to the stage! I can hardly believe it!
S: And now we even have more SPACE to move around too!
M: Yes, since the crowd had thinned considerably, much to our convenience.

And I realized that there were actually a group of Mucc's fans who were also from Hong Kong. They stood right in front of us.

M: But being the anti-social people that we are, we didn't speak to those fellow HKers.^_^;;;

While waiting for Mucc to take the stage, the clock slowly ticked toward 9:45PM, and Shizuka, being a sickly girl that she is, was once again showing sign of weariness.

S: Are you sure you want to wait for the next band? I'm getting a bit tired.+_+
M: Of course I want to stay! You know, even those picky magazines' critics and reviewers had given Mucc nothing but praises when they performed in HK! So I think it's totally worth waiting for!
S: Okay. +_+

They kicked the performance up with Falling Down. Instantly we started jumping like mad!

M: Falling Down is the only Mucc's song that I'd listened to!
S: I know nothing about their music!

When Tatsurou showed up, he had his hoodie over his head, and that made him look like a scary ghost or masked killer in those horror movies.XDDDDD

S: the members were as hyper as the audience on stage!
M: Especially Tatsurou, he was like...monkey-style of hyperactive on stage!Plus, looks like he likes to half-sit and half kneel during performing.XD

M: Oh My Gosh!Tatsurou 's look is just <i>prrriceles</i>! His outfit and make-up probably would only work for a Satanic cult leader, an evil witch or a rock star!
S: XD

By the way, I read from newspaper that during the J Rock Evolution 2012 press conference in Taiwan, Tatsurou was absent due to work, and in his place, MUCC members kind of held up a large print of his photo to meet the press. And it gave the reporters a bit of a scare because in Chinese culture, people only held up large print of someone's else photo when said person is ALREADY DEAD.

S: LOL!

In one of the song, Tatsurou gestured us to jump, in English.

S: Errrhhh?

How did the crowd manage it? Simple, everyone took a few steps back till everyone found enough space to keen down.

S: And Tatsurou counted 1, 2, 3 and the audience all jumped up!^_^

M: I had never expected any Jrocker would...order the audience to do such things.^_^;;

We had a great night. But after Mucc's performance came to an end, Shizuka was exhausted.

M: It's rare to see an immobile person such as you becoming so damn active during a concert. I was surprised to see you jumping and being active during Mucc's performance.
S: I like Mucc! They're a cool and the music is powerful!
M: Agree! Very, very hyper and powerful indeed!

Before we left, I bought yet another T-shirt...

M: To sum up, the Jrock Evolution concert is like Kinder Egg, fulfilling three wishes at once!
S: LOL!

Before we left Taiwan, I brought two Raku Music Magazines.

Last but not least, these were the good food we'd eaten in Taipei. Since I noticed every single Jrocker love to make comments on the delicious local food. XD
