After a long ride home from Saarbrücken and stressy way coming to the university and back to Dai-chan’s I felt into the bed like dead sleeping.

And that was good because this day we had to get up some kind of early again. But this time was more comfortable, because to Munich we went by plane! So we got up again, doing make up and such things and left the house for the train going to Düsseldorf Airport.

(Me in the train towards Düsseldorf Airport)
We arrived there on time got our boarding tickets and could go into the plane directly. The plane had some problems with starting, I don’t know exactly so we left a bit late. Anyways we arrived on time in Munich and went to the Hall directly. As we arrived at the station we had to get off we were shocked. It was in the middle of nowhere. There really was NOTHING!!!

No toilet, no shop just a street and some houses. So we went up the street to get to the hall and there was even less. Just a big gate, a street, pavement and many trucks and building machines.

(the fans still waiting at the hall)

(NOTHINGNESS!!!)

(Dai-chan and me waiting at the hall on the pavement)
Some fans were already waiting there but maybe just around 30 to 40 people. So not too many when you think of DIR EN GREY Lives in the past. We then just sat down on the pavement and waited. It was so so boring because there just was nothing. But on the way to the hall we saw a gas station, so the only “shop” you could get something to drink and stuff. So as we came with the plane in which taking something to drink with you wasn’t allowed I decided to walk to the gas station again to get something to drink at least. And so I did.

It didn’t took long and then I went back with my treasure. After some time Nadine (a girl we already got to know in Utrecht) also showed up. She sat down at our place too and we chatted a bit. Ahhh she had this ubercool DIR EN GREY NIHILISTIC bag!!! I want that so so so badly!!!

So there is nothing really special about waiting to write right now. But after some time a rather fatty looking girl went up to us. She immediately began to talk something like we should get some meters to the back because the people in the front sitting infront of the gate wouldn’t have enough space to sit down. We just looked at her rather unaffected and told her that we won’t do that. You know we are not mean or anything it was just like that: All people arriving at the hall just rowed infront of the gate because their “friends” already was waiting there. Furthermore there was more than enough space for everybody so no need to be panic! And so we just told her no and that there is enough space for everyone and that they just should make a normal line to the back! There she got angry and began shouting at us.

wow I really love such discussions!!! A LOT!!! She shouted at us that we should just go back because there is no space (wow that was so new to us) and that they slept infront of the hall two days before the show actually would take place. We just shruked and congratulated her for this great fact! She again began to say anything stupid like “Why won’t you go back just 1 meter? Everybody will get into the hall.” I had to laugh about this GREAT argument and told her if it’s like that so why don’t she row at the end of the line because there was muuuuuuch space.

She anyhow didn’t found this funny but actually I don’t really care. She just shouted at us again that she stayed the night infront of the hall (Well we already heard that the first time and we won’t get more interested in it the more often she told us) and then she angrily shouted “RUKIIIII!!! Come here! There’s a problem occurring up here!” As soon as I heard her shouting Ruki my face went like -_______________________________________
______-********* woahhh I hate those “people” giving theirself Japanese names and even let their friends call them that way! Argh I mean it’s okay in the internet because of anonymity reasons and so on but in public???

On concerts of Japanese people who really have Japanese names and know REAL Japanese people??? That’s so… Geisteskrank!!! Well then “RUKI” (why there is a Ruki at a Dir show anyway? Piss off with your fucking Gazette!) also came up to us and seemingly didn’t get the problem of Mrs. Fatty. We just shook our heads and didn’t listen to her anymore. So she stubbed away like a kindergarten-child. Jya bai bai~!

Anyhow it was sad because that way time flew by but yeah whatever. We then decided some time later to search a toilet which wasn’t a good idea. We left our drinks and stuff at our place and two nice girls watched after it as long as we were away. We went down the street and asked at the gas station but they lost the key to the toilets…. Yeah sure.

We went ouside the gas station as suddenly rain began to fall very hard. We looked at each other and I saw in Dai-chans face that she was thinking the same as me: They just opened up the gate so the fans can sit down on the place before the hall which was dry. Anyways we waited at the gas station till the rain was gone which didn’t took too long. Then we went back and of course the gate was open. Everybody was on the yard infront of the hall and we were standing at the end of the line. But the two girl were so nice and took our stuff with them so it wasn’t all wet because of the rain. It couldn’t be helped so we sat down at the dry floor and waited at the end.

More and more people came and nobody seems to care about the row order. Everybody went to the front and just stayed there. So we made the plan to go to the front half an hour the doors would open. I don’t like pushing through the lines and such but that just wasn’t fair. We waited there much longer and I think it was okay to there then. So some time before the doors opened we went towards the front of the line. There still was much space and we could get there easily. We still had to wait there a bit and surprisingly found another girl in our age. We chatted with her and got along very well. So again we gained a new friend – Katja.
We talked about this and that when the doors were opened. Suddenly the pushing began as always.

We were pushed so hard that we got into the hall very quick and made our way towards the second row infront of Die-san.

(FANS FANS FANS also in Munich!)

(The stage!)
Katja, who actually is a lead guitarist – Kaoru-san – Fan also came to our side. We again waited in the hall for almost an hour but then again the light went off and SA BIR filled the air!!!
We stood as said second row and it was really nice! No pushing and such things even as SA BIR began to play. A loud shout of all fans went through the hall and then… silence! Just as the members came on stage there was a shout again but it was like nothing. Dai-chan and me looked at each other with surprised gazes and my first thought just was “Nooo please not again such a lame show as in Utrecht!” The first song again was Inconvenient Ideal and the atmosphere didn’t get better. We again sung along and everything but nobody else really did. Anyways the guys were great. Die-san again was so bouncy and in a very good mood and cheered us up. Kyo again looked so sexy, again in denim clothes. He had some problems with the high tunes during Inconvenient Ideal but that got better during the show. And just as Kyo’s voice the crowd began to party more and more. Finally when they played Obscure the atmosphere was great! Everybody went crazy and had fun except 2 girl next to me.

One of her was standing first her friend behind her second row right next to me. They really were strange. They just stood there looking up the stage doing nothing. They even looked at the guys like “Who the fuck is this?”. I really was puzzled about this behaviour and even more as they began to complain about the fact that there was so much pushing and jumping and everything in the 1/2nd row. Well that’s really surprising. Maybe they mistook the concert??? The girl next to me always pushed her elbow into my side because me also got pushed her way but what shall I do? I can’t stand against 300 people pushing me!

But I decided to don’t care and just went on like I wouldn’t recognize her. I watched Kyo-san and was so fascinated and also some kind of “shocked”. I almost know every song of them by heart at least I know what he is singing about. As said I wrote a letter to Kyo-san which he seemingly got via Inoue-san in Utrecht. In Saarbrücken I still wasn’t sure if he read it but during the show I more and more got the feeling that he actually read my letter. He was looking at me at some text passages which was just a sort of same message as I wrote in the letter. I felt how I got nervous more and more and also was happy.

I always smiled at him when he looked at me and then at one point while I smiled at him he through a smile back at me. Just like in Saarbrücken. But this time Dai-chan also saw it. Ahh I was so so happy and went on having a good time during the show. Toshi again showed up at our side very often and Die-san too came to the edge of the stage a lot of times. The whole show was just great!!!

Again waaaaaaaaaaaay too soon the concert was over. At the end Kyo stayed a bit longer, stood up on his box and clapped his hands for the fans. I also clapped my hands for the band esp. for Kyo-san. While doing so I always watched towards Kyo-san. Then something really really great happened. I don’t want to appear arrogant or anything but I think I can’t tell you what happened, because I fear that the magic and uniqueness of this moment will be destroyed. SORRY! My dearest friends (Dai-chan of course) know what I mean but I can just tell you it was really really special for me and when I just think of it I feel somehow good and blessed. At that special moment I just had to burst into tears because I was so touched and moved!!!

Dai-chan also saw everything and put her arm around me. Katja also gave me an handkerchief. THANK YOU TWO SO MUCH FOR THAT!!! I hope I don’t sound arrogant or crazy or anything else bad. I really don’t want to but I can’t describe my feelings about that and as said I fear of loosing this feeling. SORRY GUYS!!!
After that Kyo-san went off stage and the other stayed a bit longer. Die-san even lay on his box and reached out his hand with a pick in it towards some fans on his side. A girl was lucky enough to get his pick directly out of his hand. That was really cute!!!
After the show was over and the guys left the stage I wanted to buy the Tour posters because I haven’t seen them in Utrecht. Also I promised Elo to get her a poster for the sign session in Berlin. So I went to the goods stand where Dieter was selling the stuff. Anyhow I left Dai-chan behind at least I didn’t noticed she didn’t come with me. I was standing at the merchs while Dai-chan came up to me smiling and showed me another pick of Die-san. YES she again did it. She got one.

(YOU ARE A FUCKING DIE MAGNET!!!) This time she caught it with her hair XD

(Die-san's pick one side)

(Die-sans's pick the other side)
After some time I got my posters and went outside the hall. We lost Katja somehow but we agreed before the show if we get lost that we will meet again at the Tour bus. So we went there and waited. After some time Katja showed up there too. We waited that Dir will show up again while walking into their bus and while doing so we saw them standing outside the backstage entrance taking pictures of themselves. Hehehe that was really cute how they posed and everything.

But then they took another entrance to leave the hall so we almost didn’t see them as they went into their bus.

(Dir en grey's Tour bus still at the parking)
Anyways we waved as the bus left the yard. I saw that Die-san was sitting on a couch having a snack (I think it was something like French fries or potato chips). He had a towel around his neck and a bottle of beer.
After they left we also did. We went to the main station first because Katja had locked her things there. We stayed a bit because we had to see the toilet and then we went to the airport again. There we talked a bit and such things and then found a nice warm place where we could sleep. And so we did. I almost directly fell asleep and woke up when Katja woke me up because she had to leave. Us too had to get our boarding tickets and into the security area. We had to hurry a bit but got to the plane just in time. After some time we were back home again and had a nice breakfast. There we also talked and reviewed the concert again.
Now there is only the Berlin Show left! Ahh I’m so sad I don’t want it to end! I wanna see them much much much more times! Anyways I’m so happy and excited to see them again in a few days. Also Elo and Sara will be there too again. We also will have a sign session and I’m really nervous. I hope it will become another fucking great memorable show! But I’m sure it will be!!!
よし!!!
(Us the next day after the concert at Düsseldorf Airport again. DEAD BUT FUCKING HAPPY!!!)
