Cute, haha. What happened to the thunderbird?

K, so I'm not into Peelanzer Z. All I knew was that they're crazy and their shows are nuts. Indeed, they were fucking nuts. There was human bowling, dive bombing off of amps, crowd surfing, and plenty of "audience participation". Peelanzer Z literally kicked my ass. If you get to chance to see them live, go. It's definitely an interesting show (bring a towel).

After the madness, it was time for GOGO. Having been there the last time, I already knew sorta what to expect. Interestingly enough, I ended up in -exactly- the same spot that I was in at the last show. o-o Long story short, they came out, they rawked, I was like "<333", and all was right with the world.
Time for pics:

(yeah, there are a lot more Yu-chan pics than Akko pics. Biased? I call it "Love", my friend)

It was a bit harder to get autographs/pics this time around, since everyone was crowding around them after the show :/
With some determination, success! (Pay no mind to my dorkiness)

There was a pretty significant crowd around Yu-chan for pics and whatnot. Turkey, on the other hand, was a lot easier to get to (especially considering that he was in the corner drinking a beer, with barely anyone around him...).

That's Akko's pick, btw. \o/ I also picked up a t-shirt, it's the one that Akko's wearing.

All in all, it was just as amazing seeing GOGO the 2nd time as it was the 1st. It's all still so surreal, considering I went from assuming I'd never be able to see my favorite band live -ever-, to coming back from seeing them the 2nd time, having pictures taken with them and whatnot. Hopefully the success of this show will lead to more trips back to the USA~~~

I was also at the GO!GO!7188 show at the Knitting Factory. I totally remember seeing you harlock! The show was amazing and I can definitely label it as the best day of my life.

I was really impressed at how much English Akko and Yuu have learned since their last US Tour. When I saw them last time they were in NYC Akko could barely say one sentence in English, but this time they all did the entire emcee segment in English. It was pretty impressive.

I ended up getting Yuu's guitar pick this time (last time I got Akko's so now I have a matching set!) so that was really awesome. But my favorite moments were when I actually got to interact with the band. I waited a really long time to talk to Akko, but it was totally worth it. I told her in Japanese that she was my favorite bass guitarist in the whole world. She replied with "wow the world is a big place huh?" Heh. Then I asked her to do a silly face in a picture with me. And then I fullfilled my life-long dream of doing respect knuckles with Akko. She didn't know what I was talking about at first, probably because I said 'respect knuckles' in English and the rest in Japanese. But when I held out my fist she immediately understood and was like "YEAH!" and pounded with me. It was amazing.

By the time I went over to Yuu there really wasn't anyone around her. I figured it was because she is really short and hard to spot and that she sorta gives of a less enthused aura than Akko. There was this one big guy talking to her in English and was apparently under the impression that if he talked slow enough and with enough force behind his words she would somehow understand him. Instead Yuu looked a little scared and really confused. So I walked up and repeated what he had just said in Japanese to Yuu. She was really releived that I could speak Japanese and I ended up standing next to her and translating for about 15 minutes. It was amazing!!! Every time she didn't understand something she would edge a little closer to me and look up at me with these confused eyes. I very nearly melted into a big fangirly puddle. I ended up getting a silly picture with her too. I totally wouldn't have had the guts to ask for it if I hadn't talked to her for 15 minutes.

So yeah, I had a really effing amazing time too. I uploaded a zip file of all the pics I took here. There are some videos in there too, but they don't have sound cause my camera sucks. So if you want even more GO!GO! pics feel free to download it.

Nice pics!

Nice! You got more balls than harlock

harlock · « **Reply #147 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:26:16 PM »

Bite me, SITS. I'm far from fluent in Japanese, sheesh.

Novaforever · « **Reply #148 on:** August 11, 2007, 01:26:25 AM »

Haha, it's cool harlock. I'm far from fluent myself. I've only been studying Japanese for a year now. Yuu was talking about simple concepts, so it was simple enough to translate what she was saying. It was mostly stuff like what she liked in New York compared to Tokyo (she thinks that New York has cooler buildings), where she hoped to live one day (Kyoto apparently) and if they were thinking about doing another US tour sometimes soon (no plans currently). It's really not impressive that I was able to translate what she was saying. But it was really cool to be able to do that much!

So I guess that whole thing about fans picking the songs wasn't true. It was just a poll, but they kept the results.
