Live Pictures (01.08.17)
Yes, I did take pictures, even to my own surprise. They let everyone in without checking bags, but I was still going to be honest and not take pictures (well, semi-honest, as I was going to try to bootleg it ^^;)...until I saw other people taking pictures of the other bands. This was probably the only opportunity I would ever have to personally photograph the band, so I thought I'd give it a try. I turned off the flash since I figured that the band wouldn't appreciate being blinded terribly much (and I think the pictures turned out better this way anyway...more true to the lighting of the stage). However, many people were using flash. I wonder if the band was happy that people were taking pictures or if they would've rather that we simply listened... I was originally going to just take one picture of the whole stage with all the members and then one closeup of each member, but that didn't happen. =P (I couldn't get the whole stage from so close either, but that's okay.) Be forewarned that not all of these are good pictures, but I went ahead and put up everything that I took. (Hey, I'm happy that I was even able to get any pictures at all.) Most of them are of KAMIJO-sama (what a surprise, right? =P) and I'm not sure exactly what kind of title to give them... ^^;
ON AIR WEST- Sure doesn't look like much. There's actually a bit more to the livehouse to the right, but I didn't know that at the time...instead, I was focusing on the words. The inside is really small, like maybe half the size of Akasaka BLITZ. I rather liked the really intimate setting...definitely felt closer to the band.
Ticket and Ad- The ticket isn't pretty like the one for the BLITZ live was, but it's still a ticket. ^^ The ad is the only NEW SODMY item that was in the booklet. (Note: Hey, DigiCube is here too! They did the FFX OST as well. ^^)
ACTOR
KAMIJO-sama with his hand in his pocket- I think this was right after he entered and before he started singing. BTW, you can see a "W" painted onto his neck, for "WEREWOLF," presumably. ^^
KAMIJO-sama leaning over easily- Hey, showing a bit of chest there, KAMIJO-sama. O_o (I didn't notice this until I downloaded the pics from my camera to my computer.) So sexy. =P
AYA-kun- Wow, he looks so *cool*! Very subdued on stage for the most part. He didn't turn towards me at all during the live.
KAMIJO-sama with his hand over his heart- Aw, he looks somehow sad. You can see the drummer in the background here. ^^
MAYU-kun- A pretty good picture of him. So glad he's back. ^^ I can't really recognize him anymore, though. ^^;
YOU-kun- I thought he looked really different in the live from how he looks in the pictures I've seen, but maybe that's just because I couldn't get a good look at his face. Cool basslines.
KAMIJO-sama holding MAYU-kun- Ah, it was great to see the two of them together again.
KAMIJO-sama on his way away from MAYU-kun- Just a random picture. I was trying to get another picture of them together, but they moved too quickly (as was the case for many of these pictures).
KAMIJO-sama looking cool- As if there's a time he doesn't. =P I think this was at the end of "actor."
MC 1
KAMIJO-sama spinning- I wasn't quick enough to catch his front when he was spinning around. ^^;
KAMIJO-sama leaning forward- Uh, I don't remember what he was saying when I took this.
KAMIJO-sama looking towards AYA-kun- This was at the end of the MC when he was asking AYA-kun if he was ready for the next song.
ADVENT
Blurry red KAMIJO-sama- This song had a lot of red lights backlighting the band, so it was hard to get a good picture. Not to mention that KAMIJO-sama was moving when I took this.
Red AYA-kun throwing his head back- One of the only times AYA-kun moved much at all. I thought he looked awesome, so I tried to take a picture. The lighting actually made it turn out pretty cool-looking.
MC 2
YOU-kun's introduction- When KAMIJO-sama introduced him, he played a few notes. Moving, of course.
MAYU-kun's introduction- Ditto. Looks like I was moving a bit too. ^^;
AYA-kun's introduction- Ugh, an awful picture (my fault it's blurry this time). When KAMIJO-sama said his name, he turned his head to the side a little for just a moment, but I wasn't quick enough to catch that.
MAYU-kun again- I wanted to get a better picture of MAYU-kun, so I tried again...and failed. This was taken during the pause, I think when KAMIJO-sama was talking about the drummer.
KAMIJO-sama's introduction- And then KAMIJO-sama introduced himself.
FAREWELL
More emotional KAMIJO-sama- Nice.
AYA-kun with shaded face- I saw AYA-kun turn his face slightly towards me, so I tried to get a picture of him, but he was too backlit. Still cool, though.
MAYU-kun- Just going through and getting pictures of the other members again.
YOU-kun- Ditto. A nice picture of him. You can almost see his eyes. =P
KAMIJO-sama- During the instrumental.
Another MAYU-kun- Probably during the instrumental too.
KAMIJO-sama again- Can you tell who my favorite member is? =P
AYA-kun's face- Ah ha! Except that his hair hides his eyes. =P But I think I can see why he has so many fans. I think I am one now too. (I'm such a sucker for bishounen. ^^;)
KAMIJO-sama bent over- Singing emotionally. I like that.
KAMIJO-sama more subdued- One last picture.
