Saw these guys the other night at AnimeNext! They put on a good show and I had fun dancing along with them. Their shtick is that they are very visual and have a crazy concept for each single they put out.
Also, Aya and Seek from a little band called Psycho le Cemu are in this group as guitar and bassist respectively.
If you bought a CD at the con, you could get into an autograph and handshake (!!) event with them on Sunday. I was surrounded by a bunch of fangirls who didn’t speak any Japanese and were trying to decide whether Aya was female or not (spoiler: not).
Got a nice feel for the guys though and I stumbled through some Japanese with them. Both vocalists (Yuki and Miki) were extremely warm and friendly. Aya seemed a little stressed out. (me: “AYAは かわいいですね.” AYA: “ああ、ありがとう”) Keiji, the other guitarist, was really friendly too, I feel bad because he’s outshined by Aya’s flashiness. The drummer, S, was very nice and since he was a little overlooked, I tried to talk to him too. (me: concertがちょう楽しいです！ S: 楽しい？ありがと！) The last one in the line was Seek which did bring out my inner fangirl. Seek was always my favorite in Psycho le Cemu, so actually getting to meet him was kind of surrreal. He was actually the best at English out of all of them and he should have been handling the English talking during the concert, but oh well! He signed my CD booklet and I told him in Japanese that I was a Psycho le Cemu fan, and he seemed really happy about that. We thanked each other profusely and he said “see you again soon”. I kind of wish I got the t-shirt for the photo ops, but signatures and hand shakes from one of my favorite Japanese musicians is pretty darn good!
Coming soon: AnimeNext cosplay post and a what-I-bought post. This blog may very well veer into geek posts and I’m just fine with that!
