AYABIE among others

On the vision that is AYABIE
When we arrived at the live-venue this afternoon, where we were supposed to see 6 bands (AYABIE, Kra, Kamereo, Duel Jewel, OZ and GUILD) preform, after having gone down a small, rural street with the curving frame of a forest-covered mountain  in front of us, my first thought was; how can the bands even fit in there at the same time? It was so tiny!
When we came inside it turned out to be every bit as small as it had looked from the outside, but who complains about small venues when all it means is that you get to see the artists up close?XD

We certainly did! AYABIE was on first and, oh sweet mother of god they were awesome! The vocalist Yumehito (the sassy blond with his hand on his hip in the pictureXD) was a bouncing, happy ball of energy and the way he looked, jumping around on stage like a maniac and screaming into his mic, while making us copy his elegant hand-gestures, I just wanted to kidnap him and bring him back home with me in a suitcase! Yume's voice is as bright as his mannerisms and even though it seemed a little strained he was still a marvel<3

Another who captured my attention a lot was Intetsu, the bassist, (on Yume's right side, furthest away  from the front) He has a very infectious smile and he is so graceful and androgynic in general that he was lots of fun to look at. He is also a really talented bassist, though I don't know much about bass-playing as it isXD.

Both Takehito on guitar (far left) and Kenzo on drums (far right) were great as well, though Kenzo looked much more relaxed at the concert, wearing glasses and little make-up, unlike this picture where he is really dolled up and pretty.

As for the other bands, Kamereo were pretty, flashy and showed plenty of skin, which is never a bad thing. They kept a high tempo too and they were heaps of fun. Kra was pretty good and their vocalist, Karyuu, is legendary for being the smallest jrocker of them all. He is adorable and impressive.
Oz was cool, but a bit noisy for my taste and Duel Jewel was primarily pretty. Guild didn't really do much for me, but seeing new bands uis always interesting.
