2017.12.18 Initial'L: FIREFLY TOUR ーRoad to BLITZー

On the way to BLITZ, I walked past a very pretty street filled with Christmas lights! Jessa and I stopped for a while to take pictures after we met up. Then, we went to find a locker to put our belongings in and lined up at the venue. I have #30~ while Jessa have #50~ I told her I will wait for her number to be called to go in but she told me to go in first and just save her a spot. After confirming with her it's really ok, I went in when my number was called.

The stage was turned into a cat walk stage again like the live I went to in April. I was able to grab a bar spot on the second row of bars just a few feet behind the saizen row bars. I actually prefer this spot because it was perfect. I was actually very drained from VRZEL's live yesterday so having a bar to hold on to was great. Jessa came in about 3~5 minutes I got in and she was able to stand next to me at the bars yay! Sadly the venue wasn't filled nor near filled at all. I feel bad for Initial'L and really hope they will gain more fans!

I was a little surprised that Yuuki came out in a hoodle and pants. SO CASUAL. But I really liked the hoodie so much so it was no big deal that he wore a super casual outfit. I somehow didn't like his hair though even though that seems to be a typical hairstyle I go crazy for (one side of the hair is clipped/gel/styled up behind the ears).

I started crying when they played Okirubi. This song is one of my favorite and always bring back memories of when I was able to see them on 11/6/2016. That day is forever special to me.

In the beginning of "Your Song", Yuuki told us to hold up our hands and towels. And he also added, "if you don't have a towel yet please buy one at the merch table (later)~" LOL Oh Yuuki! I really want to buy a towel after that just to make a post on twitter saying, "I bought a L towel because Yuuki told us so", however I did not have extra money on this and I really don't like the design. I'm sorry Yuuki!!!!! Before I came to Japan, I did intended on buying a tshirt and a towel maybe... however getting into the VRZEL fandom took away most of my money for merch to go to VRZEL lives and instores.

I've attempted to headbang for L because I have to do everything I can to support them!!!! In the beginning I was able to do headbang but then afterwards my neck felt very painful so I had to stop. It was so nice to have a bar to hold on to while headbanging but I still couldn't handle it anymore due to the pain. I find it difficult to do oritatami on high bars like today's! Some people are able to jump up on the bar to bend over but I wasn't able to do so and had trouble doing so. But anyways, due to the pain, I wasn't even able to do oritatami at all after a few rounds! I love doing oritatami so not being able to do so limited my fun, grrr... I blame VRZEL (but yesterday was too awesome though, hehehe) I'm still proud of myself for attempting to do a few rounds of headbang for L though!

After the main setlist was done, we chanted for encore. Before they came out for encore, they showed up offshot clips that were not released/uploaded online! In one of the videos, Yuuki was such a brat lol! He put bitter tea(not sure if it's tea but it was some bitter liquid?) in a water gun and he told Ichiro to open his mouth and he shot the bitter tea in Ichiro's mouth haha! And then he also had a taste of that bitter tea and realized it tasted super strong. They showed us many clips but I wasn't able to remember most of them. Other ones are just them giving a comment or like the recording.

After they showed us the clips, the members came out again and they started the encore with a new song called "I never say good-bye"! During the chorus, Yuuki told us to put our hands up and guided us to do furi. I really like this new song because it is a ballad!!!!! As much as I love it, I'm not fond of the furi for it. I honestly truly love the song regardless of the furi though!!!!

After the live, I rushed out immediately to buy chekis. I ended up with 5 Yuukis in the batch but ended up only keeping 2 and split/sold others to SS and friends since I became less obsessed with collecting Yuuki chekis ever since I officially got into VRZEL.

P.S. SINCE WHEN DID YUUKI HAVE A SECOND EAR PIERCING HOLE!? I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE HAD ONE ON EACH EAR PIERCED ONLY......

Final thoughts/comments on Initial'L on this trip:
Nothing much. No matter what, Yuuki's voice is my favorite voice in the fandom world. No matter what, I will support him forever. It is true that Cion became my current everyday obsession and this may or may not have affected how I feel about L's lives. VRZEL fandom is more fun than L fandom with all those themed instore and Cion's hyper personality. But Yuuki remains my main top regardless of tall those reasons. Reason? His voice and because I look up to Yuuki and I feel there are a lot to learn from him on how to live life and things he say can be pretty meaningful sometimes. 

Edit:
And they made a Light My Fire MV that included some footage of this day's live.


After the live I met up with Gwen to pick up Karyta's L dvd and then we decided to get dinner together. It took a while to find a place we all agreed on and lastly we went to a ramen place. And after we ate, we parted ways! It was my last time seeing them in this trip *sobs*
