And so 2013 has come to an end. This year has gone by very fast. Many things has happen,  like everyone else I have gone some ups and downs this year. But I hope that in 2014 more happy things will happen. Of course I wish everyone a healthy 2014. Lets see my ups and downs from this year.

Don's have a lot of downs but, there was I was almost unable to cope with it:

  • Little brother got really sick in the summer that has out a lot of stress in the family.


Now lets see about the ups :

  • After having a long crush on my friends, he is now my boyfriend, happiest moment of the year.

  • Joined Visual Kei Heaven, So happy that I can be part of such an amazing crew and go through the most amazing experiences.

  • Saw One Ok Rock live in Amsterdam, best concert of the year.

  • Went to Eat You Kimchi Meet & Greet in Amsterdam, Most awesome people.

  • Had a Meet & Greet with Jay Park & took a picture with him & got his signature in Amsterdam before his concert.

  • This blog celebrated its 2nd anniversary, I thank everyone who reads my articles.


By looking at it, I might only have down point, but that was the worst down I had to go through, thanks to all the ups I was able to hold up with everything. My 2013 might look like it has been amazing but actually it hasn't been that great. I hope that my 2014 will be better, much better.

So by this I will end this post I wish everyone a Happy New Year, most important is that everyone will have a healthy and happy 2014 <3

Ryo Fujimura & HITT @ 330Live, The Hague (Netherlands) (01/12/2013)

Another concert behind my back. So Ryo Fujimura & HITT went on tour together for a European tour to celebrate Ramen Events 6th anniversary. I have to be honest that I have enjoyed it to the fullest. So I went to the Hague slightly early, around 6pm, since Visual Kei Heaven has sorted out an interview with HITT. As I arrived there were already some people standing outside of the venue. As I was waiting to be called inside for the interview, more people started coming and my friends started arriving as well. Around 6:30pm I got called to go inside for an interview with HITT. Even though I have seen HITT live back in June, I got really nervous as this time I am representing Visual Kei Heaven for an interview. The interview went very well, especially since HITT is super nice and made the interview go very smoothly. After the interview I went outside again and joined my little brother and friends and together we waited for the doors to open. As the door opened we went inside and and of course first thing first was going to the merchandise table to see what they were selling. So this time I only bought HITT new CD "No singing No life" and got Ryo Fujimura CD's and I got their photo set.

So as time progressed, I went to find a good place to stand. Ryo came on stage to get his equipments ready and then he started the show. He really got the crowed worked up with his songs. I really love his songs, and the way he has interaction with the crowd was very fun. One of the reason why I live 330Live is that the place is small and cosy. Also they change that the artist having interaction with the crowd is very high. Since I didn't know Ryo before I was wondering what to expect, but after seeing him live, I have to say that I really like his music and that in the future if he comes back that I definitely will go and see him live again.

Set list:

  1. Cocoon

  2. Foolish Butterfly

  3. ENISHI

  4. ROBOU NO ISHI

  5. Overload

  6. Echo

  7. USUBENI NO HANA

  8. Nevermore

  9. Better than Today

  10. MATSURI NO ATO

After Ryo finished playing, there was a short break for everyone to talk about Ryo's performance. As Ryo was packing his equipment and HITT came to get his equipment ready for his performance. As HITT was getting his equipment ready, he kept walking back and forth. As we saw HITT we went back to our places and waited for HITT to start his performance.

HITT performed both some old songs and new songs. I really love HITT's voice, the way he sings his songs. Of course he had a lot of interactions with the crowd. He never fails to impress his crowd to make them happy and enjoy themselves. He started off with the some fast songs, and gradually went on to some slow songs. Of course we can't miss out his mirror. Last time he also had his mirror with him. Since it is Ramen Events 6th anniversary, we took some balloons and birthday hats with us and gave HITT one to wear. He put it on and while he was singing he went to look in his mirror. The concert it self was very nice, the atmosphere was amazing as well. I can't wait for HITT to come back again.

So I purchased 2 Ryo Fujimura CD and photo set, HITT new CD and photos et, and ADAMS new album. I had to get ADAMS new album since it happen to be on the merchandise table. After to concert, there was a small signing session. Ryo & HITT were giving out signatures. As the photo set were 4 pictures, I shared it with my little brother. So we got our merchandise signed. Also we got some talks done with both of them. Also afterwards there were cheki's so I went to get it done with HITT, HITT was trying to bend his knees a bit to get to my height and a lot of people including myself and HITT had to laugh. He then went back to make a pose for the picture. Afterwards it was announced that there were 4 chekis left, so I was planning to got with my little brother, each one but when it was out turn there were only 1 cheki left, so I went to with my little brother on the cheki with Ryo Fujimura.

One Ok Rock @ Melkweg, Amsterdam (29/10/2013)

Right where shall I start. First thing first, the concert was AMAZING/INSANE.

So I met up with my friends Around 17:45-18:00 at Amsterdam central station. As we were walking to Melkweg, some of them were hungry so we went to Macdonald. Afterwards we carried on walking to Melkweg. As were close to Melkweg we already saw the line. Thank god that we knew some people so we went to stand with them. The line just kept growing and growing.

When it was 19:30 the doors opens and everyone was happy. We got in and the first thing I did was off to the merchandise table. As I was with my little brother we were trying to get place, but being small isn't easy. But at the end we were able to get there. We both got a shirt and hoodie, I got One Ok Rock Jinsei x Boku and my little brother got their rubber bracelet. In total we bought 6 items, and for every 2 items I get a free poster. So at the end I got 3 posters. Of course I kept one, one for my little brother and 1 for a friend. It was a but price at the end since I bought quite some stuff, but it is worth it.

So around 20:15 Tomoya (drum), Ryota (Bass) and Toru (guitar) came on stage one by one to do some last minute testing on their instrument. and then around 20:30 The music started and Taka got on stage.Everyone went wild once Taka got on stage. They started with Never Ending Story, on top of my head they also played, Clock Strikes, C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h, Deeper Deeper, The beginning and for the encore they played Wherever You Are. They played song after song, in total of 16 songs.

One thing is for sure. Taka is quite fluent in English and I don't really hear an accent in his english. They played a lot of songs, got the crowd so excited. I have almost lost my voice from all the screaming and singing. I had so much fun at the concert, that I can't wait for them to come back. When they did a small introduction about them self, they all did it in English and it was so funny as they weren't very fluent except for Taka, but they still did it all in english. When they finished there last song, they said some last words and people were throwing things on the stage, like flags and some other stuff (couldn't see very well) Taka even said at some point "What is this" it was very funny. And of course they said that this is their first time in the Netherlands and that they will definitely come back again soon.

  1. -Where idiot should go-

  2. Ending Story??
