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.

Eat Your Kimchi fan meet @ NES, Amsterdam (15/10/2013)

WOOHOOO I MET EAT YOUR KIMCHI. For the people who doesn't know who Eat Your Kimchi are, here is a small introduction. Eat Your Kimchi are made up by a married couple Simon & Martina, back in 2008 they moved from Canada to South Korea and they made video to show it their parents but the more video they made the more popular they got. Nowadays they have videos called: Music Monday, WANK, Wednesday TLDR, interviews with kpop artist, etc They have created their own fandom called Nasties.

So when EYK announced that they are holding a small Europe tour and will be having a stop in Amsterdam, I had to see them no matter what. So when I went to get tickets online, after a lot of problems with the site crashing and having to refresh the site for an hour and half. I finally got first rank tickets. It was a shame that my best friend couldn't go so I went alone. As time was getting closer I decided to as some other nasties to see who will be going alone or doesn't know the way and would like to go together since I did know the way either. At end I met some very nice nasties. ^_^

On the day I went to met the fellow nasties at the station and went to NES Comic theatre in Amsterdam. As we arrived the queue for the 2nd rang was very long, but since we got 1st rank tickets we got into another queue. At the time the queue was very short and about 10 minutes later we were allowed to go inside. As we got inside and were almost at the beginning of the queue we got to sit at the 1st and 2nd row (I got the 2nd row all the way at the end ^^"). They were playing some kpop songs as the people were getting inside. When it was 20:05 the music dies down and 2 girls from Hallyucon came on stage and talked about who they are in short and then showed a small video from EYK. The video was hilarious containing bits from their previous videos they have made. After the video was finished Simon & Martina got on stage.

First of all it was question & answer time. There was some funny questions and there were question regarding living in Korea and finding work, etc.  After that was spin the wheel, and SImon spinned it too hard in the beginning. There are 5 category and in each category there are 2 challenges and 2 multiple choice question. There will be points awarded to the winner. At the end Martina lost and had to sing and dance to the magerina (no idea how you spell that) At the end there were photo time and of course we had to give hugs as well. We got to take 2 picture one normal one and one with a theme. Our group choose the theme Kiyomi and every one did the different part of the kiyomi song, my side got to do number 1 ^^.

So here are some picture and videos that I filmed (I filmed the whole meet)
