I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
The Gazette took 4 years to get to Budoukan, Alice Nine took 7, ViViD took less than 3. I was a little bitter when I heard it. "Who are these guys? They look so average!" Today I take my words back.
At first when I heard about the DVD I wasn't even planning to download it but I watched one of the ViVid Styles and there was a preview that got me intrigued so I decided to get it when it comes out. I tried not to expect anything. I know that a bands' true value is in their live performance. PVs are promotional videos, they won't give you the real picture. And thus I embarked on this amazing journey.
Overall I am very impressed. Most of all at the high professionalism of the band. I'm no judge when it comes to sound, I just rely on my senses but hell those guys rocked! Truth be told they were as good as Alice Nine when they performed at Budoukan one year earlier. If not better. I still think A9 is considerably better in terms of songs but then they wrote their best songs after their 4th year. I was amazed at how confident ViViD acted on stage. They looked like they play at Budoukan every damn day!))
I have to talk about Shin in detail. The boy was amazing. He's so slender and his voice is so boyish but he stood on that stage like he owned it and rocked the place real hard. He managed to fire up the audience in a flash. But it wasn't just his attitude, of course. Shin is a great vocalist. His voice isn't very distinctive but he is very skilled and sounds like a real pro. He also does this cool vibrato and even raps. Not to mention I've seen him play guitar and ever drums. I think I'm in love!
Anyway there were some slips but overall it was a very high quality performance. The most surprising thing for me was the fact that I've seen some older performances and his singing wasn't half as good. How is that even possible?
The other the guys were also amazing. Everyone played their part flawlessly. And Reno's guitar solos were really cool. I only know about 5 songs by title but I enjoyed the whole concert from the great performance.
Their average age is about 23 and they're already this good. In terms of look they also underwent a very rapid transformation. They went from classic Visual Kei to refined in just 2,5 years. It's like with ViViD everything speeded up x2. This is scary. What's gonna be next? Tokyo Dome?
Notes:
Thank you stylists for the clothes and make-up. I really liked Shin's suit. Very elegant. And that sleeveless shirt...my favourite.
Unlike A9 you can really see who's the lead guitarist. Reno totally pimped most guitar solos to himself. But he's cool at it too)
It was funny to watch how Reno changes faces looking so serious one moment and having the goof face in just a moment.
Shin totally borrowed some of them dancin' moves from Shou. Senpai must be proud))
I know Shou saw the live, not sure about the other. Wonder what he thought about it.
My Mum didn't think much of "these kids" (old story) but after she was quite impressed.
PSC editors, great job with the DVD but please don't put the credits over the ending part because that is just plain cruel!
I was a little bitter when I heard ViViD got to Budoukan so early in their career but now I have to agree they deserve every but of it.

08.05.2012 в 22:04В целом, хоть я и не слушаю Вивид, было интересно прочитать о твоих впечатлениях, потому что мальчики, должно быть, действительно много работают. А какие у них семпаи!

08.05.2012 в 23:24Его действительно можно "натренировать" довольно быстро до удивительного уровня.
Ну, я тоже разные примеры видела. Но все-таки, наверно, еще важна некая предрасположенность. Шо это очень тяжело давалось.
Да, мальчики удивили. Немного даже за своих стало обидно, но все же приятно что есть молодые перспективные группы в Джей-роке.
И да, помню на V-Rock 2009 Шин особенно хвалил добрых семпаев и припоминал что Шо его водил на рамен (или что-то там).
