This was a very special day! This was the day of the KAMIJO Halloween Special Live!! We slept in! HAHA

Once we woke up, then we headed to Harajuku to find my friend an outfit since we haven't found one the last outing, got everything at one store and a very good price. Headed back to the hostel since it was getting late ate supper only to find out eekk!! The live opened in 40 mins or so!! AHHHH!! Panic, rushing to get out dresses on, rushing to get to the venue (lucky wasn't too far) Made it at a good time, the lines outside were confusing so I chatted with a couple foreigners, one of them hasn't picked up their ticket yet so then we made it over to the door to ask the guy about it. once he stopped calling the numbers, was in the B's, he told us to go upstairs.

Gave our papers to the ticket lady, then we actually got in, but even tho we were C tickets. The venue itself is very beautiful, like an opera and surprisingly there wasn't too many people in there yet and by looking at how others were dressed I felt so out of place with my cutesy one (save me!) I could have definitely gotten away being goth, why did I let them talk me into doing cutesy again???

There was a DJ playing, so we clapped along to the songs. About 20 mins after we got in the live started, the band members come out them the clapping really starts out come KAMIJO, dressed in a handsome tux with zombie make-up, suited him very well! Only felt sad for a friend of mine who couldn't join me since she's a huge fan of his. I had seen KAMIJO two years ago when he was still with Versailles on their disbanding concerts, but I never got to see him this close up, got to see the colour of his contacts, so nice! He played two songs then the members of MU sat up on the balcony were the DJ was and played two songs in acoustic. I've listened to this band before, always like Aika's voice but to listen to him live was like WOW! He's got really good vocal cords!

Then KAMIJO's band came on again for a couple of songs, after they departed none other that Schwarz Stein came on, I was so happy KAYA!!! I was so disappointed that I had missed him at Anime USA. He's so cute! The second song there was a little bit of a mess-up but the apologized and was too cute! I was really happy and danced so much to his songs, I really want to go see him again!! After two songs then KAMIJO came on again, played one or two songs then Shaura (ex. VII-Sense) came on an sang, I don't know this artist but he has a very good voice.

KAMIJO came on again, after a song or two he announced that HIZAKI will be joining, the crowd go so happy! MU had also played another song up on the balcony during one of the switches. Then coming near the end all the members came on during various parts to all play together. This was a great live and first time to do something like this, so wish we can do something like this again, minus the cute dresses.

After it ended, went to the merch table to pick up the items my friend back home wanted but sadly didn't find anything for myself from KAMIJO but did pick up a couple of CD's from MU (MU is produced by KAMIJO).

Also it was a little difficult to find the exit as it wasn't the way we came in, had to ask a staff member and they kindly pointed the way out. Getting back to the hostel, we were greeted with shock and so much KAWAIII!!!!! by the staff members it was embarrassing!! Took photos out in the garden and called it a night.
