[Live report] La'veil Mizeria x Crucifixion @ Meguro Rockmaykan 5.5.2018

Recommended Posts

Sooooo, this is the story. I was utterly happy to know that the bands had their second last tour final while in i'm Tokyo. A nice guy here called @Alucardiusgot me the "vip" package ticket and i promised to get him some merchandise, which i did :P The concert day was a bit chaotic for me, since in the end i rushed with taxi to the incounting.

My look is damn boring but well kinda comfy, wearing Asos cap, Monki mesh-shirt, Hellcatpunks fannypack and some Nikes.

My ticket number was 14, which is fucking great. I was really surprised that when we went in and settled our bags, waterbottles and everything in the hall, i realised that the bands aren't very popular. I thought i would be crushed in a small concert hall with atleast 200 girls, since Rokumeikan only holds 250 capacity. It was maybe 50 people there, if i'm counting right so we had much "freedom" to pick our spots, of course respecting the policies. Well, atleast i see better, so shouldn't complain. Just wish the boys had more fans, haha.

One girl was cosplaying Miria as you can see a little in the left corner. My friend Jesse wanted to stay back to watch so i picked my spot pretty near the stage but went backforth to talk to him to pass the time before the start.

They really were on time and started pretty soon. For the mind of the set, i can't remember the setlist order since i was kinda living the best time of my life, lol. Crucifixion played much longer than Mizeria, or then it felt like it since the songs are longer in general. Crescent Moon was very emotional, we were all wawing, the bassist 輝翠 had a serious-guy vibe to him, more reserved, very concentrated on the playing. The basslines really are killers in my opinion. The vocalist 二人静 embodied the drama and insentity of "old vk".

Big beautiful velvet sleeves worked with every move and headbanging was fun as hell.

 

Futarishizuka called out Kikyo on the stage after a couple songs to do a らせん song. I think it might have been 憐姆 but i can't for the love of god remember.

They interacted so much and danced together. A sight for sore eyes. During XII i got so hot, i was wearing a leather cap since my hair is not long and suitable for the legit atama banging. Last song 哀玩人形 everyone started Gyakudai and older gentleman almost next to me was giving his all without heart attack.

 

The curtains closed and it was maybe 30-40 mins before Mizeria. Kikyo had the same chains as in 歪屍形 and was doing marionette moves and he licked his glittery lips alot, haha.

Nazuki's black braids were flying in the air like long centipedes. Dysflexia was epileptic, didn't get a seizure tho, haha. During the last song [deep] slay all the boys of both bands came to the stage and changed playing instruments, throwed stuff in the audience, glimbed each others backs and filmed also with phones. The reason of filming is unclear, possibly for Twitter or so. Kikyo strangled this 12 years old girl with his chains and also kicked her? Hmm, she was happy.

Tbh i was a little mad they didn't play longer and i really wanted to hear the iconic 呪縛郷, since the furis are fun. I have never heard Suicide Labyrinth before and now i'm really craving for the cd...

The buppan! Sadly they didn't have the bloody bandages for sale but i'll get some later :P I got the t-shirt obviously and a coffee mug and the new korabo cd.

If someone wants the scans of the 薄紅ノ葬 booklet, let me know!

After the show we had to wait kind of long for the boys to settle their stuff, prepare buppan and take enough chekis. They ran out at one point, haha. 

My picture with Mizeria didn't turn out very good for some reason, it's like me + Miria and all others are faint shadows. It's a good memory tho. They did prepare a nice backdrop and everything but in the end we took the picture while sitting on the actual concert stage, i was a little confused, haha. I told Kikyo that i messaged him on Peing before anonymously about me coming from Finland, he remembered me and instantly hugged, we highfived everyone and i returned to the lobby to finish my beer. I hanged out for awhile and then grabbed my shit and left. Fresh air felt pretty amazing after that.

We went to get some good ramen afterwards and chat a little. Then it was time to go back to Shibuya!

Me after the concert tiredly traveling the streets. It was a wonderful experience that i won't forget, hope to see them soon again!

I also grabbed the new Velonika magazine with their interview, i will try to scan it and maybe someone is able to translate!

Hope you enjoyed my little ramble, i haven't ever done one of these so i'm not sure about what's interesting and whatnot. Thanks!

Love your look for the night!

 

I'm somehow a bit surprised to see 泡沫 on the setlist. It's my favorite song by them, but I thought it would be one they would never (or rarely) perform. How did it sound live?

 

Also—if it's not too much to ask—I'd love the scans for the 薄紅ノ葬 booklet!

Hey! Thanks! It's a beautiful ballad song live, totally! I don't own a scanner but i can scan at the library or somewhere :P

I was joking ;) That wasn't actually me, although it sounds like it was a fun show so I wish it was!

 

Did the band seem to react to having a foreigner at their shows? I've seen other people say that smaller bands, especially, can be surprised that Europeans or Americans even know about them.

They didn't give me much special attention, expect Futarishizuka was always creepily staring right into my eyes when he did the "statue"-thing where he stops moving for a period of time. Of course tho hugging and a little chat with the boys is special for me, haha. I really do think they appreciate foreigners going to their shows.
