Shiina Hekiru - Film concert and mini live Day 2
And oh my god, what a live.
Only 10 songs, but damn it was definitely the equivalent of any 23 song concert. Hekiru went all out, and I thoroughly absolutely utterly unbelievably and completely unexpected enjoyed myself 417%.
What was more amazing, or disturbing, is how different it felt from the day before. Same place, same lineup, same spot in the hall for me, more or less same friends around. But Day 1, I thought Motto Sweets sucked, and Black Money was an awful disappointment. Day 2, dang I was headbanging and super high like nothing. It’s been a real long time since I’ve ended a concert in such a good mood that I would have been singing and dancing in the streets.
I think it helped that on my left, I had a good dude who was really into the show, as opposed the cynical bitter friend I had the night before. Next, Hekiru spoke a lot, explained a lot, and paid a ton of attention to the audience. Then, we were also prepared, since we knew what was coming (sometimes a good thing, sometimes bad). And Hekiru was determined to give it her best shot, since it’d be the last time until summer, in August.
Rock and Roll Love Letter wouldn’t leave my mind. Dammit! Ugh, I’m starting to love that song! But Tabi Tachi no Uta still doesn’t do it for me. I like Neppu a lot better the second time around too - the first time, it sounded quite ordinary.
I love Hekiru’s concerts. But I’m getting spoiled! Too many front row spots… I dunno if I could go back to a hall setting with a seat in the back -_-
Hekiru rocks. I’ve decided she’s definitely still got it, even at 31. She is a very attractive, appealing, amazing 31 year old woman. But, only when she’s singing hard rock :P
