Saw them last night here in Portland and HOLY CARP are they a great live band! I brought a couple of (non j-music-literate) friends along, one of whom was pretty skeptical going in. By the end of the Polysics' set he was rocking out like crazy. At the end, he said he couldn't remember the last time he enjoyed a live band that much. If you get a chance to see Polysics live, take it. You won't be sorry.
...oh, and Kayo is cute as hell in person. She's TINY!
Hayashi looks like he's just having the best time when he's performing. I think he used up every word of English he knows talking to the crowd between songs. He must have said "We are POLYSICS from Tokyo JAH-PAAAAAAAAAN!!!" four or five times. My favorite English-language shout-out was the following:
Hayashi: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW?
Crowd: What?
Hayashi: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW?
Crowd: WHAT?
Hayashi: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW?
Crowd: WHAAAAT?
Hayashi: I'M GONNA ROCK YOUR FUCKING WOOOOOOOORRLD!!!
...at which point he did. Super rad show.
