I didn’t write about this yet, and it’s about time.
On Thursday, my friend who lives in Osaka came to Nagoya because one of her favourite bands, DI3SIRAE, was playing at HOLIDAY NAGOYA. She stayed here for the night, and we went together to the live. I always like going to lives, but I don’t really like going alone, so it was great to have someone to go with!
There were a bunch of bands… some that stood out in good ways, and some that stood out in… not so good ways. A couple other girls from Osaka came for DI3SIRAE and it ended up being four of us at the front for half of their set, and another girl joined for the second half. Naturally, I was completely nervous being in the very front but it ended up being a lot of fun and I really enjoyed DI3SIRAE.
Afterwards, we waited around outside a bit to see if we could catch the singer, L. Ended up talking to him (well, my friend did… I was too nervous so I only said like two things, haha). I should also mention that the drummer, Loui, is completely adorable. No seriously. I got a photoset of the band, and a cheki of Loui. My friend wanted to get a cheki of L, and on her first try didn’t. She got Loui, so I said I’d pay her for that one if she wanted to try again. Unfortunately, she didn’t get L the second time either, so I felt bad. :/
I wanted to get Hideko a photoset of EAT YOU ALIVE beacuse she likes Ryohei, but when I went to buy it, the stuff was gone. We ended up seeing him afterwards outside, and my friend told him that we wanted to get a photoset, but the stuff was packed up. So, he went back into the livehouse and brought out three sets for me to choose from. He was super sweet and ended up speaking to us in English, which is amazing. His English is so freaking good, without any hint of a Japanese accent. I asked him if he’d mind signing the photo for her (I explained it was for a friend) and he did, no problem. So nice!
It was still pretty early, and so nice out, so we ended up heading to Oasis 21 for some Baskin Robbins. Omg, it had been so long since I had ice cream, so it was delicious. I’m like a kid though, the flavours I got were Poppin’ Shower and Cream Soda, haha. We also saw a disgusting amount of cockroaches.
ONE OF THEM FLEW.
IT WAS THE SIZE OF MY HEAD.
Okay maybe it wasn’t quite that big, but omg it was so gross. IT FLEW.
Then we called it a day, and ended up just hanging out, talking a bit and sleeping.
It was fun. And I really like going to lives, even if I don’t really listen to the music as much as I used to. I’m hoping that the more lives I go to, the more I get back into it.
The next one is August 15th… providing I can decide which band to reserve with. Ræå® or Lycaon?

I thought Nagoya was so clean and pretty compared to Osaka, but….never seen the cockroach airforce in Osaka, that's for sure!
