Having my ticket in hand I was pretty relaxed that
day and took a lot of cosplay photos with numerous fans. The whole day
I had been searching for the girl I had met in Sendai, but we failed to
meet and I was a little sad* my best friend from Nagasaki could not come
either* work* but at least I met a friend from Tokyo and we had a good
time before the concert started.
Somehow I had been quite cool on the 30th but on
the 31st I did not manage to be cool anymore. This time I really didn*t
know when I would meet hide chan again* he planned no tour for 1997 and
X planned nothing so far and* at that time of course we did not know yet
that X would disband on the 22nd of September 1997!
And somehow my situation came rushing back to me*
important exams soon before me, debts, no job! (laugh)* And yet I was so
happy to be in Tokyo Dome, I was so happy that I had decided to come and
leave all the problems behind and that I could be here that day together
with hide chan and X.
My seat almost didn*t change from the day before,
left hand side (Pata side) of the 1st floor but relatively close to the
middle and as you have seen from the video I guess, there was a substage
in the middle of the arena and Yoshiki*s drum solo set and behind that
till the end of the arena another "substage"* So at the end of the concert
Toshi and hide chan came running all the way down the substage and were
facing the 1st floor* so despite this was Tokyo Dome and despite having
only a 1st floor seat we had a chance to get a real glimpse of hide chan*
he tried to throw balls and Frisbees into the 1st floor but there is a
very tall net covering the 1st floor and the balls hide chan threw didn*t
reach us, later he said in an interview he had never noticed that there
was a net hanging there because the stage is so far away that you don*t
see the net from over there!
Well* I was very moved and cried again like a baby!
(laugh)*
And as usual X was so much better on the second day*
it was just a perfect concert and I was and am very happy to have been
there and felt the power of X again! * and soon after I finished all my
exams successfully, paid back my debts and found a job! (laugh)* So if
I had not gone I never would have forgiven myself I think! Especially considering
that this was the last X concert where everything was "all right"*
