I will make another entry for day 2 since it will too much to write in one entry....yeah lol PLEASE CREDIT IF YOU USE ANY PICS OKIES ^_^

Since I read on Batsu that ppl were lined up since Tuesday or whatever I was liko nooooooooo >< I need to get to the Wiltern, however, I couldn't miss one week of work for a 2 day concert so I arrived at the Wiltern Thurday afternoon. The line was at Opus(lame-o restaurant/bar) when I drop my sis off to look for parking, so I was like yay! not so bad. After a 10 min. search I returned to the line to find out we got pushed back by the back entrance to Denny's restrooms. After all the bitching we all found ou that apparently Opus said they were "loosing business" .......total bullshit. So my sis and I chilled there and started socializing with the girls in front of us. These were some awesome girls and we got to hang out for both days ^.^ They were nice enough to hold our spots for the night, since my sis couldn't sleep out on the streets cuz of curfew and my dad didn't allow her.....and I couldn't stay since my sis didnt have a ride for Friday,so that was lame >< I couldn't be a hobo for Thursday night or Friday night ><

Around 5-ish a red convertable started to roam around the area looking for parking. I saw a guy with a high pony tail and shaved off sides, and I thought to myself and outloud "was that MYV?" but I thought it couldn't be since I was pretty sure the artists would like to come in the venue all secret like. The car made a few more turns and then it's was confirmed MIYAVI!!!!!!!!!! was freaking driving the car!!!! He wasn't even trying to hide himself or anything since the convertable top was off. He made the final u-turn to park on the opposite side of the Wiltern's garage and that's when everyone started screaming and running towards the Wiltern's Garage trying not to get to close just in case security said shit. There was this one girl in a CSU or UC sweater that got a few feet away from MYV's car and took a pic!!! >< lucky her. My sis said that the girl received a nice "hello, how are you" by MYV.....damn her! She didn't even get shooed away lol I was thinking of going there but decided that MYV was gonna go inside the garage, so I just had to wait a few minutes for him to get there. "MIYAVI! MIYAVI!" weird looks from security "MIYAAAAVI!!!" was all that was heard from all the fans when he was walking towards the garage. He was all nice and said hello and was not in a rush to get inside. This was a perfect time to take some pics ^.^  and sure enough everyone did ^.^ After all the fangirl moment was gone I(and everyone else) was so glad security told us to move the line to where we were cuz we all wouldn't have seen MYV ^.^ No one was bitching about getting moved back anymore xD Everyone else who stayed upfront missed out! Dude the car was so MYV though, I mean it was begging to get ppls attention with its bright red and its convertable top off xD I think an hour later he came out and everone was going after him. Best part about him driving away: there were a lot of cars at the red light, so his car happened to stop right in front of my group!!!!! pic time!!! my cam was a bit slow but I managed to take some pics. Before he left, we said "bai bai" and he waved back ^___^

Here's a pic:



          Later on I bumped into DuelJewel but didn't recognized them since they look "normal". It wasn't till security said something, so I started to wave alot at the van they were in, and they all waved back too ^.^ hehehe it was cool......personal Hellos lol.  At 9pm my sis and I left and came back at 5am ish on Fri. now we were back near Opus.


A few hours before we get in, my group finds out that there was an insane amount of cutters -.- in the morning-afternoon we were like #90 or 100 and afterwards we were like #290ish. Fucking bastards, cute outifts and faces shouldn't be an excuse to cut in front of everyone who camp out for ages like my group peeps did. cutters=no pit T___T we all did major bitching so that security could be aware and maybe next time there's a jrock concert, they could be better. we as fans took better care of the line for sat. hardly any security needed. I got to stand a tier above the pit, behind the handicap area on the left side. anywho...

Kagrra, was awesome and Isshi was pretty in his Kimono.....yes kimono. I was totally expecting him to be in 'normal' clothing. He butt length extensions and he looked even prettier. His voice was just right on,especially on those falsetto notes. Everyone else played so awesome, especially when Shin played his Koto..........totally amazing! it looked like they all enjoyed the show ^_^  Too bad I didn't have a fan to do hand motions. At the end, Isshi read off a piece of paper in English! I thought it was cute.....he said they will be back ^.^ interesting....





I'm not so into DuelJewel, but seeing them live made me consider this more. They were really energetic and for one song they did a little synchronized kicking , like they did little jumping steps to left and I thought it was cute ^___^  a little headbang was pretty good too ^___^


 

Up next..........Miyavi!!! All anyone could see was a big black curtain thing with MYV kanji on it :



and then some guy was beat boxing until MYV came out. It was really funny how he came in. He had a long smoke and in kimono.... and some dude behind him throwing flower petals and holding a japanese styled umbrella over MYV. He only sang 3 songs x.X Selfish Love, Rock n Roll is Not Dead, and Are You ready to Rock....and they all sounded the same to me since there was alot of turn table mixing happening. There was too much happening to really pay attention to MYV...the guy painting got my attention for quite some time. From these 3 songs I heard, can't say I'm liking his NEO VISUALISM thing......Best part was when MYV introduced SUGIZO to come on stage to rock out with him!!!!! SUGIZO was like in total rock status lol. I totally flipped when SUGIZO came out, FREAKING SUGIZO ON STAGE!!!! I never thought I'd see him perform.....ever! Well,they had good flow between themselves, so it looks good so far for SKIN.

Then Yoshiki came out and introduced his new super band SKIN with him,GACKT,SUGIZO,and MYV!!! and they will be at AX07 @Long Beach!!!!! coolios. Yoshiki has some good ass English as does MYV. Oh yeah MYV did a little speech about it doesn't matter what color skin you have or language you speak as long as everyone is in for the same thing (music) and if you don't like it, then get out! lol xD that was amusing. His English was good but I couldn't really hear all of what he was saying cuz ppl were screaming too much -.-.





Vidoll was up next. I'm not to much of a fan but they had me entertained. Tero was awesome on drums! just giving his all and shit. Rame was adorable in his little rori dress and candy throwing lol Jui was cool live...better than on cd I think. Pretty cool band to see live though....and good songs to headbang too ^__^

 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....the band I was the most anxious to see....ALICE NINE!!!!!!!! 




I totally went crazy when I saw their name on screen and when Nao came out on stage! They are so awesome live!!!! I can't emphasize that so much.....you need to see them!!!! They were wearing their outfits from Hello, Dear Numbers DVD Tora had some cool ass hair.....half was black and blonde and short....cute. like this:

Anywho,they played most of their heavier stuff so that was awesome....here's what they played:

velvet
red carpet going on
yami ni chiru sakura
haikara naru rondo
Kowloon -Nine Heads Rodeo Show- 
shunkashuto 

it was so cool to shout out there names when they played shunkashuto (i think) and everyone got it right and you could tell they were happy ^_^ I was so pissed that I couldn't get a pic or video recording when Saga fucking licked his bass >< damn it all! oh well. headbanging to YAMI NI CHIRU SAKURA was fucking awesome! that has to be my fav A9 song,and I really didn't expect that song to be performed that night....so fucking awesome times a million lol and SAGA FREAKING MOLESTED HIS BASS!!!! LICKING IT LIKE 3 TIMES OR SO!! AND I COULDN'T GET IT ON CAMERA!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!! Well defintely a fangirl moment in the venue cuz all that was heard was just insane screaming alice did the most fanservice from all the bands that played.....in fact, I think theylol It was fun doing the hand motions for haikara naru rondo...finally got to do it at a live xD The hand motions were cool for shunkashuto, everyone did them and security had like a WTF/amused face on when everyone did them lol XD Oh yeah, it was really cool when they all gathered up front and played there for a while.....cute >_< hehe ALICE NINE ROCKED!!!!! I want to see them again!!! Overall, it seemed like ARISU enjoyed themselves alot ^___^



I went to the merch table afterwards, but almost everything was sold out! TT____TT All the Kagrra,MYV,and A9 shirts were gone ::Sniff sniff:: and this cool A9 bag was gone too!!!! so I didn't buy anything except for the black JROCK REVOLUTION shirt that was sold while waiting in line....so I just got out and went to line up for day 2.....good thing a guy in our group was inline since 5pm-ish so we were like group 2 inline ^___^


Best part of Jrock Rev:
PPL could take pics of bands!!! 
Pic craze for A9
A9 doing fanservice
Had Saga look at me and sorta stay put to snap a pic
Gave Saga thumbs up and vice versa
meeting cool ppl
A9 fanservice


The end for DAY 1

Fucking cutters though... we didn't make it into the pit the first night either, but on the 1st tier too >.<
