This is my ticket:
Around 5 pm we arrived at the venue (de Melkweg, in Amsterdam), and to my surprise, there weren't that many people yet. Unlike last year when I went to see Versailles, when it was already packed by 3 pm.
To give you an impression:
When we were waiting for the doors to open, a few crew members came outside and asked us if we wanted to say anything to the band. If I heard it correctly they were going to put it on a dvd ^_^ So me and Sanne (my lovely kouhai <3) thanked the band for the concert in Japanese.
The notice for the D concert (the big D on the right XD):
Then, a little after 7 pm, a crew member asked us to form a neat line, and around 7.30 pm we could enter. When we entered there was a noticed posted. Apparently there was going to be signing session (original merchandise only) at 11.15 pm! My night couldn't be any better, and the concert hadn't even started.
Before the concert started I bought a photo set for the signing session, and their latest album called Vampire Saga. Then I deposited my bag at the designated counter and went over to the stage. I was standing third row, on the right side of the stage. Right in front of Ruiza, one of the guitarists ^_^
Around 8.30 pm they started. And it was totally awesome. I don't remember all songs that they played, but the ones I do remember are: In the Name of Justice, Black Swan, Desert Warrior, Yami no Kuni no Arisu, Tsuki to Umi no Seiyaku, Der König der Dunkelheit, Yami Yori Kurai Doukoku no Acapella to Bara Yori Akai Jounetsu no Aria and Nightship D. Nightship D was really cool, since we did the thingy with the flags. And I'm really happy that they played my favorite song (Der König) ^w^
Their outfits for the concert:
From left to right: Hide-Zou (guitar), Tsunehito (Bass), Asagi (vocals), Ruiza (guitar) and Hiroki (drums).
The concert ended around 10.10 pm, so we had to wait an hour before the signing session. Luckily it started at 11 pm instead of 11.15, so we didn't have to wait that long (even though D is totally worth it <3)
Unfortunately the signing session was a little rushed, but I did get to thank them for the concert and tell them it was fun in Japanese. Asagi said he was glad to hear that <3 So now I have all 5 of their autographs on their respective photos. As soon as I can find a good photo frame to put them in I'll make a photo ^_^
We managed to make it to the last train home, and around 3 am I was asleep. It was an awesome day, and I still can't believe I met them and talked to them <3 I wish them good luck for the rest of the tour, and please be safe!
Dの皆さん、楽しいコンサート、ありがとうございます！
Until next time~
