Rapheal
[. . .]~aru kisetsu no chinkonka [ratings : 9]
Yuki was dressed in the purple/white robe. Yuki seldom moves around, he just stand there and sing. Kazuki, on the other hand seems to be very hyperactive! He moves from one end of the stage to the other while strumming the guitar… hmm and the cool Yukito just stands there quietly and plays his bass. Then Raphael's drummer Hiro, can't move anyway so he sits down and hit his drums… hmm must say that Yukito is a pretty good guitarist ^^ Ohh the songs ended…. Yuki keep saying Arigattooo…
Eternal Wish [ratings : 9.5]
Hehe my favourite Raphael song.. eternal wish! Actually I think this song sounds like a national anthem =p Raphael's live version of this songs is very good ^^ I like the band's performance ^^ ……

Janne Da Arc
The band gushes out to the stage… with Yasu taking lead and tattering away non-stop……… …… can see that his also a very hyperactive fellow… well the rest of the band are active also ^^
Hunting [ratings : 9.5]
Wow.. what a lively performance. Never a dull moment!! I think Yasu actually looks young and not to mention, 'pretty' here ^_^ It's really different from those photo shots etc.. The band members are also impressive ^^ Ohh.. the huntung song ends.. Yasu went tattering again again..... then they have a violent hair shaking ritual when the band members kneel down and their head shake from left to right.... heehee though I dun quite like Janne Da Arc (pointing at Yasu and screaming Hentai!! =p) their live is pretty impressive and .. Yasu has very good live vocal ^^

Next up... LAREINE!!!
...ohhhh Kamijo recites a poem.. (but it seems to be recorded.. the poem's from emeraude)..then Kamijo and the rest of the members stroll out. Kamijo was carrying a classic guitar.... so cool ^_~
émeraude [ratings : 10!!]
ohhh mine.. they pose.. ^^ Machi is so cool I like the synthesis drum he plays ^_^ oh yah did Imention that Lareine uses sightly different instruments than the usual... Kamijo plays the classic guitar, Mayu is good with the acoustic guitar. Emiru moves around with the kuala shaker... and Machi always pose while playing the sync. drums... ohh I like that drum so much.... wooo... Kamijo went over to embrace with Machi ... ^_~ hahaa.... cool cool =p Their live version of émeraude is absolutely enchanting.. c'est trés bien... ~_~ In the song's ending chorus, Kamijo articulate in that voice tone again... ^^" I can't help but believe that his either an effeminate or a 1740 french romantist....... "bon zou(r) hooon nee" ;-p
Métamorphose [ ratings : 9]
The band shifts back to their usual instruments. Then they begin another round of interesting performance ^^ When the song ended, there's a short recorded piano play, Kamijo recites another poem.....ohh then they play ....
Fiançailles [ ratings : 9]
... (snoopy watches with full concentration... ) ... haha Emiru shows his underpants =p Overall, their stage is very nicely decorated with lots of roses ^^ I think the best Lareine player this evening is Machi ^^

Wow.. Plastic Tree ^^
Toremono [ ratings : 9]
It's one of their hit songs ^^ and I think Ryutaro can project his voice very well. His voice is kinda special isn't it?? Well me like it anyway =p Not bad they can get the crowds moving even with this slow ballad. Cool! ^^
May Day [ratings : 8.5]
Hmm Ryutaro seems to shout in this version. It's very different from the song in the album, PuppetShow...
Nukegara [ratings : 9]
Ohhh one of my fav. Plastic Tree song!! It's also from PuppetShow. I think the guitar play is very good. Plastic tree sounds metallic with lots of electric guitars.
Gekksekai [ ratings : 8.5 ]
Erm the band basically just stand there and perfrom the song. This song is rather heavy metal. I like Ryutaro's voice esp. when he talks during the stops ^^
Reset [ ratings : 8.5 ]
Another heavy metal song.

Sex Machineguns
Hahaahaa.... the 3 crazy okasannns ... everytime I see them (whether is it in mags or shows) I just can't stop myself from laughing hysterically.... I think they're very funny ... =p Ok.. it's that hair shaking ritual again.... they shake their head from left to right... =p hee hee..
Mikan no uta [ ratings : 9 ]
Hahahaa.. I just can't laughing again... these mad okasans make me laugh until stomachache. Their actions are just too funny to ignore =p The crowd also went into a hair shaking trance after them ... The more I see, I think these 3 okasans look like those characters popping out from hentai comics.. but nevertheless, they're good!! ~~ After this song ended, they have a long introduction section. Ok.. another funny episode =p
Fuamiresu.bonba [ ratings : 9]
Well... I can just say that it's just so funny to see their performance, their synchronised hair shaking movements.... not bad you know, they still have choreography =p
Onnisaw [ ratings : 8.5]
Overall this band's performance is impressive!! Though I dun like heavy metal songs like theirs, I think watching thier live performance is very interesting ^^

Gackt!!!
Hee hee he sings his intro!!
Mizérable [ ratings : 9 ]
He seems to be the star of Shockwave illusion. The crowd cheers very loudly! I think Gackt's dancing;s like a snake. His movements is according to the music being played (the snake charmer's charm), and he moves his body like snake slithering...
Arsan Dream [ ratings : 9 ]
This's not his original song. I like his moves, seems so light weight ^^ But actually I think he looks tired =p
?? ?? - for my dear [ ratings : 8.5 ]
His make-up/ skin looks so translucent.. kireiii!! Though I like Gackt, his songs etc.. but the more I watch his performance, the more I feel drowsy and wanna go and sleep..... ;-p
Lecca [ ratings :9.5 ]
Ohh my favourite song ^^ (snoopy tries hard to keep awake to listen.... ) Gackt's band is good too ^^ When the song ended, Gackt 'talks' this time... ohh I luv his voice... talk more Gackt!! An encore session...
Vanilla [ ratings : 10!! ]
Hee now he change his black jacket for a black fitting t-shirt.. ohhh his so kirei!!!!! Hmm Vanilla. I'm starting to like this song!! Tee hee I realise his dancing is better than I expected =p haha I think his pretty good! =p Btw... I think Gackt looks like a character from shoujo mangas hehe...

End of a fantastic Jrock Show ^_^
