Even the sensation and the euphoria are still lingering in me till now. I refuse to move on xD I think I need at least a week to stop shivering each time I remembered the moment I watched this concert.
Maybe I just start from the very beginning.
In the mid of January, Lushington Entertainment Singapore announced that there would be a Laruku concert in Singapore at the end of April. I was so happy, and thinking of buying the ticket when it was available, but less than a week later, Marygops announced that Laruku would come to Jakarta also! I went hype. I immediately told Fleo of course, while waiting for the official announcement for the ticket price.
The price was announced, and there were 3 types of tickets. VIP, premium, regular. The VIP ticket was first announced as premium ticket plus merchandise. The day before the official selling day, I saw my friend's status that he had bought the ticket. I immediately checked the ticket box, just to find the VIP tickets were sold out and decided to buy the premium ticket, and hoped to still get the good spot on the venue. I didn't know why the online system could release the ticket a day before it should be released. I think I'm just lucky to find this out :P
And just a week ago, I found that the promoter separates the VIP from the premium. I actually went upset. If they told us from the beginning, I might try my best to buy the VIP tickets. But well, put those aside, I still got hype and anxious also, because just a day before Laruku concert, another concert was cancelled due to inappropriate stage.
I believed that all Cielers prayed that Laruku would not cancel the concert. And judged by the preparation, the stage looked proper and awesome to be exact. I also got info that the stage was constructed by my uncle. I haven't got the chance to ask him personally, maybe I will ask him as soon as I meet him.
One day before the concert, I went to RajaKarcis to change my voucher to the official ticket. I arrived at 4, just to find that there was still a very long queue in the street. I queued, and after an hour I got a numbered ticket and told to come back 1.5 hours later. Huh? Fortunately, I met a girl around my age, and then we went to McD together and just chit-chat about Laruku and Jrock and SuJu concert. Hahaha.. :P
Less than an hour later, I told her just to try to go back to see whether the queue had reduced or not. Luckily, we could go inside immediately to get our ticket.
The D Day.
The promoter stated that we could not bring camera inside, and I was sure that many of the others would take pictures/videos, I decided just to enjoy the performance.
I arrived at about 4, waited for Fleo for about 10-15 minutes, had a quick bite, and the start queuing for the gate 1 entrance. After we managed to get inside, we bought light stick and a bag. I first wanted to buy the CGK t-shirt, but the colour is orange, and I don't like it :( So i didn't buy any t-shirt.
The queue at gate 2 had already packed. I think there were more than thousand people standing in front of us.
At 7 pm, we managed to get into the venue and stand at the middle right section because I love tetsu more than ken. Hahaha :D
Couldn't really see perfectly to the stage because people in front of me were higher. But I still could see clearly through the super big screen and sometimes I could catch a glimpse to the stage clearly.
The sky was so dark. There were even lightning streaks. And the L'Acrew had announced that if there's any rain and lightning, the show would be stop for a while. But fortunately, the rain didn't pour, the stage crew open the plastic cover from the big screen. While waiting we were trolling the stage crew and the photographer because we were not patient enough to wait xD And suddenly the light was off and we went screaming, knowing that the show would start soon.
The screen started showing animation for the world tour.
And the members suddenly came to the stage and start playing Ibara no Namida. Some of us were stunned and just could scream and not followed the song properly xD And we also couldn't hear hyde's clearly. I think the sound engineer was still checking and adjusting the sound.
Second song was Chase. But the English version. I bet most of us didn't know the lyrics and we just chant the reff. But the crowd was getting louder at this stage.
The third song was Good Luck My Way. At this song, we started to sing from the beginning, creating louder crowd than the first two songs.
Then Hyde greeted us. Selamat Malam. Halo Jakarta. Kami L'Arc-en-Ciel. Kalian senang ketemu aku? Aku? Aku juga. Aku juga. Mmm.. Jakarta. Selamat (me)nikmati. Selamat (me)nikmati. I think he misspell the last word. But we didn't mind. We just scream loud and louder xD Hyde's voice is so sexy. xDDD
Hyde got his guitar, and we knew immediately that the next song is Honey. The crowd were all singing along to this song. Because this one is definitely one of the favourites.
It was continued with Drink It Down, and Revelation. We shouted Oi! Oi! on the revelation intro very loud. I think Laruku had known from this point, that Indonesian's fans are loud and energetic! xD
They took a quick break and Hyde wore a hat. A girl's hat. And sat beautifully like a girl. Tetsu and Ken also sat and they started playing Hitomi no Juunin. I could feel more people crying at this song.
The next songs were XXX and fate. The crowd were a bit calm at these songs. And then the ultimate ballad for Hyde, forbidden lover. He was teary at the half of the song, and actually went crying just before the end. Yes, we could see it clearly because the cameraman just zoom him and put the image on the big screen. I just wonder whom he meant in this song. Gackt? xD
Continued with My Heart Draws a Dream. I could still feel the chill from singing "yume o egaku yo.. yume o egaku yo.." together with others.
Ken's MC. Ken is definitely hilarious and pervert! xDDD And I would never forget Hyde's pouting because he couldn't play the bamboo flute. Gyahahahaha.. (Ken's part is so long that I think I would just refer to other's concert review for the details)
Ken's MC session ended with Seventh Heaven. And after that, the trio cheerful songs were played, Driver's High, Stay Away, and Ready, Steady, Go. We sang along throughout these three songs. Especially Driver's High.
Yukihiro's solo drum play ended this session. And I saw him smiling because we were cheering and shouting his play, matching with his rhythm. I could sense the happy feeling from his drum play.
Before the encore, the rain started pouring. But it was actually perfect for the song. Because the encore first song was Anata. It was so lovely and romantic. And we got the best surprise. They played the fourth avenue cafe! We thought that they would not play it, since in the other countries they would only play either driver's high or the fourth avenue cafe.
We went crazy. This song is the first song for most of Laruku fans in Indonesia. Because of Rurouni Kenshin, we knew Laruku. Even though this song was only used for four episodes. And Hyde smiled widely. His expression was epic. He let us sing the bridge though he never did that in other countries.

Next was Link. And tetsu's MC. Tetsu was funny. He said gua suju dari korea. Ooppss. We went booooo. Hahahaha xDDD Siapa mau pisang gua? Siapa mau makan pisang gua? Siapa mau jilat lolipop gua? Huahahahaha.. I think most girls went pervert hearing these xDDD And he tried hard to say mau diteruskan. The first one came out okay but the second and third attempt just heard as mau diruruskan? Gyahahaha.. And the link continued until finish.
After Link, they took a break. And people kept shouting Blurry Eyes. A person from VIP area said that Hyde looked confused but happy upon hearing this. But he just said kamu senang? kamu senang? aku juga. kami datang ke Indonesia lagi. terima kasih. ini lagu terakhir.
Niji was played as the last song. Hyde said arigatou. And others were clapping for us. Hyde said terima kasih once again and threw kisses. Gyaaaa xD And he said again kami datang ke Indonesia lagi. Hopefully we won't wait 5 years like Paris. One or two might be good. And tetsu came back with a basket full of bananas and lollipops. He is good. I think he was pumped out because we cheered for him. He threw the banana till my section, which was in the middle of the arena. Ken also came out and handshake several fans.
Tetsu closed the show by saying terima kasih. terima kasih. sampai ketemu gua lagi. matta nee!
Oh, I went teary just typing this post. :')
I hope I could watch them again :)
