They didn't even have a webpage in English, and they call it a World’s Fair?<br />I’m sorry you didn't enjoy it very much. I think you caught the worst bands (HY, Nogizaka). Though, being there since the beginning (I only missed out on the first band, Scandal), I can confirm that, by far the most enthusiastic and noisy crowds were Buck-Tick’s and Man With a Mission’s fans. So each of these bands should have been the headline. I laughed at your description of B-T fans looking like Vikings about to ravage the otaku land, especially when Nogizaka’s set was over. And you’re so right about B-T fangirls being fearless BiTches. I followed a pack of tall, older and intimidating-looking B-T fanboys, trusting them to get me to the front, until I realized they were, ironically, following a couple of young&skinny fangirls leading the hoard and shoving the defenseless otakus out of the way. It was pretty funny.<br />Hide’s set was such a disappointment. It would have been so much better if they had just found a copy-cat vocalist and played like a tribute cover band, because that lineup was amazing. Those videos were completely unnecessary, and just ruined the whole experience for me.<br />(And omg yes, Sakurai appearing during Doubt’ to sing would be freaking glorious). <br />Amazing report Cayce. I loved your jokes, and everything you said was so on point. Especially the part about the t-shirts being sold out since morning! D: I’m still bitter about not being able to buy the t-shirt I wanted. It never happened to me at a festival before!romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691582987380513427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994365939017837190.post-43091586465809448712013-09-26T16:05:28.754+09:002013-09-26T16:05:28.754+09:00Thank you!

I also wholeheartedly agree with Cayce that by now, Mr Matsumoto is undoubtedly pushing the rock envelope on an entirely other plane of existence. I don't think he'd ever want to rest in peace, but I can't help but think that he'd prefer to see the essence of what he left behind channelled into new and wild directions, rather than have it preserved forever in aspic.<br /><br />Thanks for the review, as always, and I'm glad that at least the vodka and *ahem* nuts flowed freely. And the samurai pic is delicious.Mawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688827578326331314noreply@blogger.com
