Hi There,
It was one of the best nights in my life!
Attending the freaking awesome ONE OK ROCK Live in Concert
I jumped, I screamed, I headbanged, I sobbed, I bit my towel, I was having fun!
Okay, here’s my story..We started queuing at 10 AM and there were already 30? 40? ppl in front of us! (fyi, the show started at 7 PM, gate open at 6.30 PM)… yep, it’s a 9-hour-waiting baby~
while waiting, we bought goods and foods (of course!)
around 6.20 PM the gate was opened, and i was freaking scared, my heart beat faster than ever.hey, i’m going to see ONE OK ROCK!
three of us stood in the middle, in line with Taka’s standing box(?) 4th row, and my other two friends were standing at the right side (Toru’s part).. Actually, i was having a big dilemma, whether to stand at Toru’s part, or in the middle where Taka standing. But then, we chose in the middle..
The Concert
I was hardly speak minutes before the con started, i was sooo nervous
then…. it started… (sorry, the songs were not in order, i could remember all songs, but forget the order *failed* )
please note : i didn’t take any pics during concert, since i’m not a camera-taking-while-watching-performance-at-con-person (except for weaver con last March, since they stopped their perfomances and let us took their pics)
Coda ,ppl started to packed (get closer to each other), i seperated with my other two friend. yep, hyper ventilated waiting OOR to come out.
Lost and Found the members showed up, Ryota wore USS Shirt *cubit* , Tomoya *sooo cute!* …and my eyes focused on Toru! (he wore the maroon shirt just like in the Korea, handsome handsome handsome handsome. period.)then ….. Taka showed up!… he stood on that box,wide opened his arms (i don’t know how to expressed this pose, the T pose*?*) .. I STUNNED! OMG! is it Taka??! i’m not Taka biased, but seeing the real him, i felt like i couldn’t take my eyes off of him! he has such a powerful aura! and he was straight in front of me! oh Holytastic (?) … Taka wore vest just like in Korea.
About the song performance,to be honest, everytime i listened to this song in my ipod, i didn’t emotionally being attached, but last night had changed it all.. It was a perfect Opening Song! yep, Jump! Jump!..Jump!pointing my hands up while jumping I bet everybody in that venue could feel what Taka’s feel through his voice. He screamed but flawless, Oh Gosh his voice was flawless! i admit, at that song i only focused on Taka, i didn’t pay attention to other members.. even Toru! … how come? Taka is the magnetto(?).
Never Let This Go, yes, Taka got my focus again (i mean, he’s straight in front of me, and i’m quite tall to see his face clearly, his expressions, OMG! ), then there’s another headbanging..
Kaimu, the intro! the drum!! eyes on Tomoya, and i thought, wow…this is real!.. Taka sang, again… my eyes back on Taka (he really has those magnet*?*).. I took a glance for Ryota at left side, then watching Toru’s expression at right side,the eyes!!the lips!! wowowowowowowow… but when Taka sang “koko wa kaimu… kaimu…”,,, man, definitely, he stole my eyes again. and i’m being stucked on him until the rest of the song..
Re:make when Taka started to sing, i was screaming! i was shocked! i didn’t predict that the next song will be Re:make… I love it, Taka’s style when sang it, his voice was perrrrrrfeeeeect!
Sekenshirazu no Uchuhikoshi…. the voice… i mean… “staaaayy” part…was… OMG! Taka keceeee!
Answer is Near.. just like in their other performances,Taka asked us to sing… “ooooooooo”… yep, i scream.. with my right hand up in the air, pointing…then… the song started.. *i stunned*
Mr. Gendai Speaker.. just like in YokoAre DVD, there’s an intro part, Toru’s solo, them Tomoya’s… this time, my eyes on those two guys..but when Taka sang, my eyes back to Taka =___=.. but the bridge part, i looked at Toru’s expression, i remember his style in DVD, and yes, i saw it with my own eyes! *biting my towel* his expression is …. real… !… then the “noooooo….body” part, yep, back to Taka..what a beautiful performance..
Liar *sigh* … he sang all of the part of the song just like in the cd, include the screaming..”there’s nothing left to ..” i clapped, everybody clapped with rhytm and.. WOW! I Screamed!
No Scared.. i headbanged for almost all of the song! SUPERB!
Wherever you are the intro … okay Toru, u stole my eyes!then Taka sang… rrrr… i was getting back look at Taka… he sang…beautifully..
Chaosmyth… i have no words to explain about this song beside FLAWLESS.. the “dream as if u’ll live forever and live as if u’ll die today”part…i think my tears were falling down little bit.. or.. it was the sweat? *ttp ga mau ngaku mewek*, my towel, sorry, i bit you so often.. Toru’s face at that song, he was so emotional , seems like he was going to cry.. and that made me skip to looked Taka at the end of the song’s performance..Toru…… *sigh*…
Let’s take it someday.. they asked us to sit! not squat but sit! …then when one…two…three… guitar played, the crowd jumped! i jumped! i jumped like crazy for the whole song!..
Koi no Aibou Kokoro no Cupid… the “stooooooop” part…. wowowowowowowow… silence… then… graaoooooo..! it’s so real! i still can’t believe it…
Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer actually, i’m not a fan of this song, but the live version witnessed by my own eyes is … yep! awesome! ……. then… the Encore…. They were back on stage… damn, my eyes were locked in Taka! he wore the SG Con T shirt and rolled up the sleeves showing his tattoos and …. arms… *if i could faint, i’d faint*.. he’s beautiful! then sang…
Jibun Rock!! jumped, hands in the air…and..screeeeeeeaaam! …
the last song is Naihi Shinsho …. *sigh*
Miscellaneous Events
first time i saw OOR was when i was lining for goods, then the van showed up, i saw Toru..OMG! that’s what i called handsome! he smiled,he waved his hands… O…M…G!… ppl were running, including me… then saw them going inside the back door, saw Ryota, Tomoya, then… Taka… wait… is it Taka?! why he’s so good looking? he waved and his smiled! i could tell you that that Taka’s smile was so sincere! not a fan service smile *no..i’m not biased, and i’m not that stupid not to realize the fanservice smile* .. ppl took pics of them but i didn’t,since my hands were shaking! //failed
then the Smoke events, Toru, Ryota, and Tomoya were smoking outside since they didnt allow to smoke inside the building… Toru and Tomoya took pics of the fans who were standing looking at them by their cellphones and waving..
At Con, Taka gave his mic to the front row, but seems that he has difficulties in getting back the mic, so he bended , softly smile and sounded like “mic please”… My GOOD… his eyes and smile.. mamaaaaaaaah!
I was standing in the middle, if u know the Rock crowd, you will know that the middle front are of the crowd is the the most chaotic part..yep, and i was there..most of the ppl around me were boys, they were in a group..Let’s take it someday, they pushed my left side, and jumping like crazy, but hey, i’m Indonesian who used to be on barbarian crowds,LOL..they pushed me, then i pushed them back (thank God i was born not in the usual body size of a girl), in fact, i could move a little bit to the front, i mean, i ended up being in front of them. but actually, for me, they’re quite polite, they sometimes pushed me from the left or right side, but not all the time…and back.. but rarely.. Trust me, i wont even dare to stand on that part if the con is in Jakarta! i’m old enough to get pushed for two hours!
the MC, they spoke English, Ryota sang Chinese Song ,he’s so funny… LOL… Tomoya said he loved the food, then Toru… “yo wassup!” maaaaaaaaaak! the real wassup.. then he said he’s sad because he couldnt see the merlion…then Taka, he’s very very happy, he said until they came back again, he’ll study English.. oh Taka.. yep.. they promised to come back again! i know, they’ll back ! they were so happy!! please come again…
then after the show, waiting them to came out, manage to take some pics, eventho some of them were not in a good quality…LOL..
i know, some fans were so lucky to have private pics with them, so jealous.. yeap..
well, at least, i’ve watched their music live on stage! *let’s stay positive
mmm.. what else… i’m stucked, on that night, the awesome night, the night when my eyes were stucked in Taka… his face was so clear in front of me…
ONE OK ROCK… you guys awesooooooooome!

okay, i guess, see you guys again on sept *amin*, eventhough i know, i won’t be able to stand on that SG part since i’m not expecting a great number from general sales (faaak… i wanna have the presale tix T______T) and obviously i won’t be able to see you guys privately just like the other fans did in SG. I guess, that will be better.. perhaps… Because seeing the other side of you guys, i’m afraid the feelings will turn to be real, so just let me stay on your music…
my biggest fear is… OOR after effect con could make me spacing out in public (if you know me, i’m not a spacing out type of person in public) , i’m so afraid of what the after effects of NICO will be?!
