Really heavy music started up...
*I don't remember what happened so well from here on. If I miss a scene or get something mixed up, please let me know.*

The music went on for a while, and then the curtains opened and Alteration of Generations started playing. The lighting was very green and kind of split into rays, and the stage had this sort of calm before the storm type of feel to it. Everyone started calling out SS's names at first, but then the kind of stopped and waited.

When the song ended Kaya and Hora came out in their NVC costumes, Hora with his smaller keyboard, and they went into Perfect Garden. Kaya was singing and dancing, and Hora would kind of urge the crowd on, coming close to the stage and making gestures for us all to reach up to him. I did because I was suppose to, but I realized some fans really thought he was going to touch their hands or something. Is that why people do that at concerts? Anyway...

The lighting was pretty purple here, and Hora was just really fun. He moved around the stage and hyped up the crowd, and then retreated to the left to play his keyboard.

I wanted to watch him, but I ended up watching Kaya in the hopes of figuring out how drag queens move. Kaya moves like a drag queen, there's no doubt about it. He used a lot of movements in a mixture of abrupt elbow jabs, arm raising and etc, and a lot of wrist movements as well. Like, think really elaborate "talk to the hand." But I think what made him so good at dancing was

1) the deliberate way he seemed to place every part of him after he had moved. He would start out really gracefully and then just :stop: slightly before going on to the next sequence. The overall effect was one of complete control over just about everything on the stage but Hora. Hora does gangster dramatics and makes faces (>_<)
2) The way he moves his eyes and breathes, sometimes opening his eyes really wide before certain lines and taking a deep breath, looking down, etc. It reflected on his singing, which conveyed a lot of emotion
(but was a bit nasal without the recording equiptment to smooth it over).
3) He can dance. His platform boots look almost more like army boots than anything, and to it's not like he's dancing in Mana shoes. He's got a good base to balance on. Even still. He span around a lot...not like "la-di-da-oooolookieroses", but in full circles, and then broke into some cross step footwork pretty often. Well, it's kind of like "Maze" X2.
4) He stops moving ever so slightly after the beat and doesn't always go the way you're expecting him to.

Well, the over all image was, in my opinion, dominatrix. It was their stage.

Afterwards Kaya said in a very small voice that he was going to talk for a little bit and asked if it was okay, and the fans called back, "yes." I didn't catch what he was saying so well, but I think he might have mentioned that it had been a long time, and how was everyone, and it's been hard being away. The whole time he was talking fans were calling out things to him, and he would respond or take a step back and kind of scrunch up if someone said something a bit odd.

Kaya himself is pretty interesting. He was always fussing with his skirt or corset, or hair, and he would kind of pace a little bit or turn sideways when answering fan's questions. He really liked interracting with the fans, and kept telling them, "he was going to talk a little more, but is that alright?" He also had us shouting something at some point, though I forgot what. Our section got scolded for not being loud enough...I think it was "Are you happy to be here" or something like that They really are great.

While Kaya was talking, Hora would sit on an amp left stage with his fingers crossed over one another and look bored. Sometimes he would look at the crowd, or up, or make a creepy eye movement at someone or something. There was someone taking pictures of him at this point, so you'll probably get to see that in the Mashoudou or a magazine or something.

After Kaya had finished talking the first time, he gave the microphone to Hora, who pretty much said, "Hi everyone, I'm Hora...urusai-urusai. You sure are noisy." But when he says "urusai-urusai" it's not like "shut up" or anything. It really is more like "hush hush", like he'd say to a barking puppy. I thought it was great; everyone else did too.
Anyway, he started talking. He's "going to have his own website, and a CD out around February, and there's no way to get it as of yet so everyone write their names on the questionarre at the end of the show. Yes, he's serious *laughs*"

Then they did...oh gosh...Creeper? was it? I know they did creeper pretty early on. There were hand movements to it, and while Hora was doing the chorus Kaya would be strolling up and down the stage doing the movements for us to follow. I was just relieved to get away from the Dix/rocker hand thing. I had kept messing up and making a peace sign instead...you know, I don't really pay attention to those things usually so. but I still felt stupid.
Then they did current, transient, succubus?, and finally NVC. They started out one of the songs synchronized, both raising their arms straight out to their sides, and it was funny to watch. Kaya was like "I am HERE." and Hora was more like "BLARGGggg...." I'm sorry; I can't describe it. Hora is Great.

Kaya went to the back stage and pulled out a whip, and licked it. Then he danced around with it. Since NVC was last, Kaya had us sing the chorus parts at the end like...

Hane o mogarete XXXXXXX
Atashi no mune de XXXXXXX
Hanasakumidareru XXXXXXX
Keshite samenai XXXXXXX

He would hold the microphone away and sing along too. It was really nice.

After that he talked some more about tentative plans to return to the stage. He doesn't know when, but he know he wants to. Hora lurked, or sat, or went and took a drink from a water bottle he had on the back ledge (the drums were raised). Which reminds me. Kaya has a really manly back. He also shops at the clothing store under Closet Child in Harajuku. Anyway.

So after that they left the stage and it was time for MdM.
