I sort of don't have much time right now, but I'll try to write a little about last night since it was pretty cool.
I ended up leaving for Ebisu a little later than planned, so there wasn't any time to pick up any food or drink on the way. Then, at liquidroom, they were late in giving us our tickets. I had promised to meet Mariko at the station at 4.30 to show her the way to the livehouse, and we didn't get our tickets until 5 minutes before that, so things got a little rushed.
Közi would be this year's Dis Inferno guest, so I had been hoping they would do some MALICE songs; not only for my own sake, but for Mariko who doesn't listen to neither M10M nor Közi's solo project, but used to follow MM when they were still active, and came along for the sake of seeing the two guitarists together on stage again. So we were both extremely happy when they opened the show with Speed of Desperate :) It was Mana on drums, Sugiya on bass (dressed a bit like Yu~ki, with a mustache and top hat), Közi on guitar and Katsuo on vocals. It got better though. They followed it up with N.g.s N.g.s, with Mana and Közi twin guitars ^^ (btw, Mana's make-up was blue for the occasion and Közi had his red MM guitar)
After this short but awsome MALICE MIZER performance, Seth did a solo, and then session bands with K and Hayato. Moi dix Mois have been doing so few lives that it feels almost weird to see Seth being a part of it....<_< I've become so used to seeing him at Art Cube's lives instead. It also sounded like there were more people screaming his name than Mana's this time.
Közi did some of his solo stuff, and the drummer was Chargeee from PPP (he's pretty easy to recognize). Everyone seemed very happy that he did Honey Vanity :D The last half of the live was Moi dix Mois playing about 10 of their old songs, and a couple of new ones.
Like last year, it all ended with everyone re-entering the stage and Seth singing "can't take my eyes off of you", and the others throwing presents to the audience. I see the point of giving us those signed plastic balls, but this year they were also throwing balloons into the crowd (the long narrow type you make balloon animals of). It's not like people can keep those for very long x)
After all of this, a group of about 12 of us went out for dinner at a restaurant nearby. That was nice ^^ A couple of girls had travelled all the way from Osaka for the live, and had to take the overnight bus to get back home. They also travelled to Europe to see M10M's tour there.
And I really don't see why we're always taking pictures after lives D: Especially after spending a few hours in the front at a M10M live.
(yes, they're crappy quality cellphone pics)

Ooooh~ New M10M songs~
And thanks a bunch for the report!
And you met my friends Serina and Saria! ^^ I miss them~
Serina and Saria are so incredibly sweet ^^ They seemed to have a habit of finishing eachother's sentences. It's cool to listen to :)
Hearing old MM's songs plus seeing both Mana and Kozi on the same stage must be a blissful experience.XD That's so cool, too bad that they didn't invited Yu~ki.
I wonder what Seth sounded like live as I had always prefer Juka over him on the recorded version.^^' It's great to know that M10M is still around and active though. Since they didn't make any annoucement, I guess Seth will be staying on as vocalist.6_6 BTW, Thank you for the report;)
I was so happy for my friend that Mana and Közi did a couple of MM songs together. She can't take many days off from work, but managed to get Saturday available for the live even though she doesn't follow any of their solo projects.
You can try attending one of Art Cube's lives instead to hear Seth :) Those lives are smaller and a bit more colourful and varried. (and there's that huge albino snake...^^)
Besides, Charge, do you know if Jiro was playing for kozi? and the bassist was Kenzi?
I'm pretty sure Jiro was the guitarist, but I'm not sure about Kenzi, sorry >_<.
I've found pics at charge's blog of Kozi's support band.
I will share them with you~

It seems the name of the bassist is Maashii. :)
charge is really spamming his own bolg, isn't he... x) You can't tell from the pics he's posted, but he was also wearing various kinds of blue glowsticks during the live. I kept thinking "They should be red!" D:". And at the end he ran around on stage threatening to pour chocolate syrup (at least that's what the bottle looked like) on us. You know he's not really going to do it, but when you're standing there wearing moitie people kinda freak out anyway. (Közi did go through with something similar though D: He drank something from a bottle and spit it back out at us. Moitie clad fans in the first few rows did not appreciate that >_<)
:O!! i didn't hear about this! i guess these people might have been quite pissed at kozi XD thanks for telling me this!
i know seri and sari, cute girls
