July 29th & July 30th 2013 I went to Germany with my brother and friends to Movie Park Germany. I went there for 2 days. I really enjoyed my trip there even though it was short. I watched all the shows they were showing and played most of the attraction.
On the first day we went straight to Movie Park after 2 hour drive from Amsterdam. When we arrived it was around 12:30 PM there were of course a lot of people there, after we sorted out the tickets we went inside. We made some group picture before we went to the first show, "Western Lightning" afterwards we went to have some fun at the roller-coaster. At night we went to have dinner at the Van Hellsing restaurant.
On the 2nd day was slightly the same as the first day, the night before we planned what we want to play and what show we want to watche, so the when we arrived we went to see the "stunt show" first.
Let's see how should I start with this. First thing first, I really enjoyed the concert. So I arrived really early with a few friends, around 2 o'clock I was already outside the concert hall. As time was going by more people arrived. Also some old friends of mine that I haven't seen for a while came and made some new friends on the way. As time was going by, we heard that due to some problems, the time has been pushed forward by an hour. So instead at 4PM for the VIPs to go inside, it was turned into 5PM. But when we were outside waiting, Shota (from ADAMS) was looking through the window of his backstage room and blew kisses to people.
The door opened and everyone went inside. So first everyone went inside, some went to get some merchandise and some already went into the concert Hall. I went to get some ADAMS merchandise since there wasn't many people. Afterwards I went into the concert hall and talked to some friends. until I got picked up to go backstage to have an interview with Vaniru. To read the interview click here. While I was interviewing Vaniru, Gothika were performing, so I missed their performance but I was able to see them play their last song. After Gothika, it was ADAMS turn to play. I was able to enjoy their stage performance. Their performance was really awesome, they had a lot of energy and they had a lot of fan service as well. After they finish playing I had to go backstage to get ready to interview ADAMS, to read their interview click here. I was able to listen to Vaniru play Cosmic Night, before I was off to interview Adams.
The interviews went well, I had a small problem with Vaniru due to language barrier. But was able to pull it off thanks to their manager. Leoneil doesn't talk much he just sits there and listens, while Yuto mainly does the talking. It was really funny how he was walking everywhere with his guitar, even when it was just getting water. The interview with ADAMS went really well, Shota was answering everything in english, and tried to translate for Adam as well. Adam understood what I was asking but he didn't know how to answer so he let Shota do the answering. ADAMS were really sociable, they made me feel really comfortable. as this was my first official interview with 2 band where one of them is my favourite band. ADAMS also made a lot of jokes in between the interview, especially Shota since he was have a beer he kept saying that he was drunk already. At the end he even left all his stuff behind when he wanted to leave the room and when we told him that he left his stuff behind, he said that he was drunk again, when he only had 2 cans of beer. Even when walking out the room they were making jokes. It was also very nice to hear from Shota that he know visualkeiheaven and that he has been on it before to read articles about ADAMS before.
I am really happy and thank full to Visual Kei Heaven, for letting me join them as a live crew and thanking AVO and Astan for making it happen that I can interview Vaniru & ADAMS, especially since I already love ADAMS for a while.
It was also a totally new experience for me as I was experiencing it backstage, I have seen it on tv enough times of what happense backstage of a concert but never gone through it myself. Everything was considered new to me seeing how artist really get ready before stage and everything. I thank Astan and Fran for making it possible, and thanking Fran for looking after me.
