Day 5 - Oct 31 (Sun)

31 Oct was mucc's finale live at Hibiya Yaon.

Luckily it didn't rain, cos it was an open-air venue.

Checking out the live goods! & muccrew photographer sighting! ^^

We originally didn't have good seat numbers, so we bought better seat numbers + sold ours to a yellow-cow. My seat was actually still quite behind. Peggy & Yuj very kindly allowed me to stand with them (the space of 2 seats can somewhat occupy 3 persons).

There are already quite a number of reports (in Shoxx, Fool's Mate, etc) about this live, so I don't quite feel like writing too much about it. Just some things I noted:

- Tatsurou's voice.. I really worry for him. I didn't sense it so much during the Namba live. During this live, though, it became quite evident. When his voice tore during certain songs, my heart was torn along with it. *pain ah*

- Yukke played well, but alas the sound system did not do justice to his playing. Muccrew are usually quite professional, though. Not sure what happened that night.. Perhaps it was just the acoustics of the place.

- The transition from acoustic to electric guitar during [溺れる魚] was much better than during the Namba live. Good job, Miya-kun!

- When Satochi was exiting after the main performance (before the first encore), he tripped over Yukke's bass. *Ouch!* He bowed v apologetically~ (^^)

- I finally got to see Yukke's MC session live! ^O^ He came out with rolls and rolls of black tape around both his arms, and with the signature black tape over his mouth too. What did he do? Well, he made us declare our love for him ^___^; and played a joke on us by saying there was a helicopter filming us from above (since Yaon is open-air), only to call all those who looked up "baka!"

- During the encore, the crowd went crazy..the band members went crazy.. Tatsurou mock-slapped Yukke :P, Miya went really close to the audience, all but Satochi were running all over the stage!! Yukke and Tatsurou exited earlier, so only Miya and Satochi were left on stage..to grab at other's hands to bow to the audience. :) There's a nice pic of that in UV mag :D

After the live, we proceeded to pig out at an Izakaya in Shinjuku. ^^

■Earlier in the Day■
Earlier in the day, we went to Harajuku, where both yuj and myself bought a pair of platform boots each. My first pair, woot! (^^) Wore them to the live that night and they turned out quite comfortable (& helped elevate me to new heights never before experienced, haha..)!

We also wanted to pay a special visit to Jishuban before the live. Whilst crossing the road to Harajuku JR station, we finally spotted a group of 4 cosplaying Raphael. At Jishuban, when I saw the lilies at the counter, I was deeply touched.
