a live report, if you want to call it that...

Cocklobin/9GOATS BLACK OUT/Sugar - Jan 9th -fri- Takadanobaba AREA


Yesterday it rained. I don't mind the rain, but I don't like being out in it for an extended period of time which we weren't supposed to be. But whoever wrote the directions up that Jess got failed hard. When we got up to Takadanobaba it apparently decided to start raining a little harder. Our written directions said to go right out of the station, and we did until we walked for probably 15 minutes which was incorrect. So we turned around and walked back and when we went the right direction, the venue was seriously 2 short blocks from the station. DDDX

We were all soaked, me especially. I didn't even have a hood nor a thick coat. We came in on the last song for the first band Cocklobin. I don't remember what that sounded like.

9GOATS BLACK OUT was next. If I wasn't cold and wet and have every single tall Japanese person standing in front of me so I could see, maybe I might have enjoyed their performance more. They played 2 or 3 songs that I recognized, but overall, I was dissapointed. It was actully kind of boring. I just leaned against the side wall and tried not fall asleep.

Sugar, you DO bore the piss out of me. As Sugar was setting up, I was able to move up so I could see most of the band for them. The singer, Loki? looks like a cross between Dracula and Trent Reznor. I think I did fall asleep during their set, so I left and sat out in the hallway while the concert finished. The final encore song had the vocalist from the 3 bands come out and do some song.

Over all, I wouldn't go see any of these bands ever again. ._.

After the live, we went back to the hotel, got something hot to eat and I took a really hot shower. Then RA and I watched Death Note on TV. Ooooo and the guy who played Light is going to be in another movie, Kaiji (at least I think that's what it was called...) He is so cute. ...and that 'L' movie looks kind of dumb, but whatever.
