Honestly.. Does anyone still care about this? XD
Well anyways.. I guess I`ll just kinda rush trough this now, since I said I would write about it.. and I seriously just want to get this off now.. so that I might be able to focus a bit more on this blog again D:

Hello Beautiful~
I finally found the time to write a bit about the Astan Asian Day in Essen, which already took place back in October D:
~~~
Anyways... let´s just do this |D
~~
I arrived in Essen one day before the event took place and stayed in an really cheap guest room, together with Yuta, who realised that he just won one of Soes Tattoo-slots shortly after his arrival |D
On the next day, we woke up quite late but somehow still managed to get ready in time and even ended up with some spare time left, which is suuper unusual since we normally have to hurry in order to get to the train xD
But instead of that, we took that time and tried to make a few pictures :'D
Yeeah~ extremely pretty.. I know XD
I guess it´s somehow ok in here, but I honestly looked super exhausted and quite dished that day （￣へ￣）
~~~
In the train we ran into a small group which was on their way to the event aswell.
We started talking to them and decided to look for the venue together, since nobody knew excactly which way to go.
Just as we got off the train, our little group got a bit bigger and after walking for a few minutes we realised... we where wrong |D
Well... What a surprise, hu? xD
But after several failed attempts of asking citizens for the right way and trying to use google maps, we still made it to the venue about 30min before the scheduled admittance.
...
Which, of course.. got delayed |D
....
I don´t think it´s a big deal, things like that happen ( I don´t even remember attending one live in this country, which has opened it´s doors on time :'D) but it was kinda sad that nobody really knew what was going on~ (which is also quite normal, I guess)
But after about an hour (? , I can´t remember very well :'D) they´ve finally started to let those with Vip-Tickets in, of which we had number 59/60, due to the upgrade of the former 2Day-Tickets.
And I have to say, at this point I was quite happy about having an Vip-Ticket... Simply because it got really cold by that time and because it slowly started to rain as they opened the doors |D
So, because of that we where able to acces the venue more or less fast.
More or less, because it was only possible to hear the girl at the door shouting the numbers for those who stood in the first 5 rows |D
But well~ It was quite amusing ´ ∀ `
~~
Once we got in, we rushed trough that Picture taking "event"
The boys from GYZE somehow complimented me on my appearance, while I was just there like "U serious? Look at my eye circles of doom" :'D
'Guess they´ve complimented everyone |D
KÖZI on the other hand decided to place his beer on my head, which made me slightly uncomfortable.. as you might see XD
Haha, but DABIT is kinda cute |D
~~
And right after that, the actual event finally started with an calligraphy performance, followed by the gig of KÖZI and his band.
Which was really great.
The band had a very nice show and really tried to encourage the crowd, which sadly.. wasn´t that easy...
Really.. most of them seemed as if they where trying their best to proof that they prefer a slightly different music genre vv
I mean.. I do too.. But I don´t feel the need to rub it into an artists face~
But well...
~~
After that gig I took some time to meet a few old aquaintances, people I´ve met on the internet and most importantly~~~ I was finally able to talk to gorgeous
Aoy!!
Ah~ I tell you, that took waay to long D:
But we´ve finally made it |D
We´ve also tried to take some pictures together aswell..
Hahaha~ I´m looking even worse next to this beauty XD
...Anyways~
~~
Next thing was the question and answer "event" with Hizumi, which was really funny and super interesting.
I didn´t get all the things properly due to my lack of usefull japaneseskills, the absence of the original translator and because I´ve decided to translate everything into english for Aoy |D
They´ve mostly talked about his project UMBRELLA but Hizumi also said that he could think of resuming his singing career, as soon as he gets the feeling that his voice is back to a certain level ✧∇✧
After that I got some Hizumimerch and went to his signing session |D
Still need to sew this shirt a bit~
~~
Anyone still reading? XD
Nice :D
Well, soon afterwards they´ve started with Takuya Angels Fashion show which was quite nice, I guess.
I´ve never seen a fashion show so I don´t know~ Not really interested in that kind of fashion stuff |D
I also took no pictures or anything of that event, since I wasn´t sure if it would be ok to do so~ But Yuta asked Takuya if he couldn´t take a picture with him~~
Such a beautiful picture, I know.... ╭( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑
also not sure if it´s ok to post it here~ but I pretty much don´t care, since he acted quite horrible after the event~ I´m sure you´ve heard about it |D
~~~
Now it was about time for Yuta to finally get that Tattoo, which meant that we had to leave the main room.
But due to a small mistake he was the last person to receive the Tattoo, so we got a bit nervous since we where absolutely sure that we would miss the live of GYZE because of that |D
However, our little group decided to stay outside with him~
The session started at the same time as the live of Dabit and from what I could tell, it was quite painful (also for my poor hand xD) but Soe gave her best to finish the session in time so that we could re enter the main hall just as GYZE entered the stage~
This is the result :D
It´s not the best pic and I know some of you might say "Oh, a Kyo tattoo~ how witty" but I really like it and I think it looks quite awesome in reality :D
...
Ok~back to the GYZE gig |D
The live was quite nice even though I´ve never listened to GYZE before, we all had plenty of space to dance and headbang and the band did not fail to encourage the crowd.
The only thing that annoyed me and others once again was the moshpit.. but well... We luckily had enough space to avoid this crap this time.
I´m sorry I can barely remember anything worth mentioning anymore XD
So, after the band finished playing, the event was officially over~
~~~~
We decided to stay a bit longer in the lobby area and where able to talk to GYZE and get some pictures and autographs of/with them ~ Well, the others did~ I wasn´t really interested xD
They also said they would like to go to some sort of "aftershowparty" and invited some fans and us to join them but we decided to go back to our room instead |D
So.. despite some problems in the beginning (and the slight disappointment because we all hoped to get a better line up >D) the event was quite awesome.
I think I might attend again next time :D
And hopefully I´ll be able to write a better, contemporary post about it |D
