Road To Zebrahead Live Show!

Yesterday I went to Fukuoka to see Zebrahead live show. I haven't been live show since September Weezer live show. So I was really excited that.

In the morning, I woke up at 8:00a.m. I slept a long time, beacause I went to bed at 11:30p.m. That day I had 2 classes. One class is Culural Anthropology class and the other is Outline of American literature class. The former class is 2nd period, so I could go to this class. But the latter class is 4th period. I decided to skip 4th period, because I didn't want to late Zebrahead live show.

Before I went to school, I did some assignment. Because the due is Wednesday. But I couldn't finish these assignments! haha. I went to 2nd period. After that I went to library to find newspaper article. I had another assignment. It's for reading class. We have to newspaper article and make quiz. Actually the day before, I was finding it for one hour, but I couldn't find it. But yesterday I could find quickly. It was lucky.

I left KGU and went to prefectural office bus stop. On the way, I bought 2 "Onigiri" and one coke. 12:01p.m, the bus came. This bus is called "Hinokunigou". I got in this bus. It takes about 2 hours to go to Fukuoka. So I was listening to Zebrahead's songs in the bus.

I arrived at Fukuoka. First I wanted to go shopping. Fukuoka is really cool city. There are many fascinating shops. I wanted to buy Christmas gift for my girl friend. I went to Tenjin Core. But I couldn't find anything good. Then I went to Loft. It was nice shop. There were many Christmas gifts. I bought some gifs and Christmas card. After that I went to Vox. This shop has many skater brand and punk rock brand stuffs. I have been there once, when I went to Weezer live show. This shop is definitely my favorite shop. There are FSAS, Hurley, Vans, DCMA, Lowlife and so on. I decided to buy Hurley's jacket. But it was expensive and I have no money. So I withdrew my saving from ATM. Then I bought it. It was hard to buy it, but it was Christmas present for me? haha.

After that I started to go to Drum Logos. It was a live house. Zebrahead live would be held in there. I have lost my way on February. So I thought it takes long time to go there. But it wasn't. I arrived at there really fast. It was still 4:20p.m. The live open at 6:00p.m and start at 7:00p.m. So I returned to downtown to kill time. I went to Mister Donut and killed times. And I went to Drum Logos again. It was still early, it was 5:20p.m. But there was a line for buy tour goods of Zebrahead. Of course I lined to buy tour goods. Every time I go to live show, I buy T-shirts, but it's expensive. It's 3500 yen, so this time I bought muffler towel. It was cool!

6:00p.m, door was opened. My ticket is early number. So I could get in soon. I put my bags in coin locker. And I waited live start. Actually yesterday, there was a opening act. This band is called Illscarlett. But we had to wait almost one hour. Because show starts at 7:00p.m.

Illscarlett live started. They were so powerful. Actually I have listened their music on Youtube. But I didn't think their songs are good. BUT yesterday I realized I was wrong. They were so cool! Guitarist and bassist were so big. And they were playing with dancing! That was amazing. Their music was mixture. And I found a interesting thing. The singer's face was similar to Daniel Radcliffe. haha.

Finally Zebrahead appeared!!! The first song was Hell Yeah! The audiences were crazy. I was close to stage, so I noticed the audiences were coming in my back. Immediately The mosh-pit was maded by the audiences. It was scary. They were attack to each other. So I escaped there and backed a little bit. Every song was really cool! I think there was no time to break. Because their songs are all high tempo! In fact I only know maybe 7 songs? But I really enjoyed. Ali's body was muscularly and cool! Matty has so nice voice. Ben could speak Japanese very well. I think he is the best speaker of them. Ed's powerful drum perform was so cool! BUT I was really impressed Greg's guitar play! His play was really cool. He could play tapping easily. He sometime appeared front of stage and played solo. I respect him! They played my favorite song "Into You" very fast, so first I didn't recognized that. haha. They played "Playmate of the Year" for the last song. They required us to say "FxxK" haha. It was so fun! Because all of us shouted "Fxxk" They responded encore. They finally played "Anthem" and "Mental Health". "Mental Health" is really funny for Japanese because of lyrics. It was so fun! Thank you Zebrahead and Illscarlete!

On the way to bus stop, I dropped in Yoshinoya. I haven't eaten Yoshinoya's gyudon. So It was the first time. It was cheap and delicious. I got in buss. I was tired, so I slept a little. And I arrived at prefectural office bus stop at 11:41p.m and went home. In my house, my mother still awake. I said "Hello~" and went to bath room. I took a bath. Then I still had home work, so I started to do this and finished 2:30a.m and went to bed~. Such a busy day~!(949 words/9715 words)
