So this was my first time to see a concert of Psyence a GoGo Tour! Again I had taken two weeks holidays and had flown from Germany to Japan just to see hide chan! (laugh)...
All the tickets a very dear friend of mine from Nagasaki had ordered for me... unfortunately she could not join me because she was having exams... she had only been to the Fukuoka dates of Psyence a GoGo and had ordered all the other tickets for me on her fan club account! She did a very great job for me!!! Thanxxxxxxx!!! I had never been to Niigata before and had quite some trouble finding my way to the concert hall but in the end I made it of course! (laugh)...
The hall is about the same size like the one in Kitakyushu and of course no screen and since I had damn good seats for all of the Psyence a GoGo concerts it was great to be so close to the stage! Of course everyone knew already what was going on during that tour except me! (laugh)... but after my first day in Niigata I became one of the "knowing" fans and knew that for example hide chan was hidden among the guys in anti-atomic suits! (laugh) But at the first day I didn't know that of course and was surprised when hide chan turned out to be one of these atomic guys! (laugh)... Again due to the small size of the hall the noise of the fans was overwhelming! Well in Tokyo Dome it is noisy too but somehow not so vehement like in the smaller halls! (laugh)... As for the menu I guess most of you have seen it in the "Ugly Pink Machine" video, so I will only point out the specials...
Niigata has a reputation of having the best ricewine of the country and since we all know that hide chan loves alcohol this became quite an issue in the talks and pauses between the performances! (laugh)...
In Niigata I also saw hide chan's internet address the first time and wrote it down... although I was not yet a member of the cyber world, since I did not have an internet connected computer yet... and especially not a computer that could read Japanese! But anyway it was the first time I got to know that hide chan loves internet! (laugh)... The internet address was displayed on a screen before the concert started... Of course I also love the atmosphere of big big Tokyo Dome, but somehow the concerts in these smaller halls are much more touching... you are closer to the stage, you really see what's going on, it's like a family meeting! (laugh)... and of course I was the only strange foreigner around...  at least I never met any other foreigner at hide chan's solo concerts! (laugh)...
It was great to see hide chan again after 10 months abstinence and I had a damn good time, especially because I had another 4 concerts of the tour before me!
Since the next day in Niigata was very impressive for me my memories of the 8th of Oct. are a little blurred! (laugh)... so I'll better turn to the 9th... what a happy day!
