Hello all! I've never made an intro post before, so, um, ignore any rambling I may do. ^^;;

I suppose I can start by saying that I, like most of his fans, first heard of DA through Gravitation. From there, I decided to learn more about him as a solo musician, did some web-searching & ended up finding someone to go with me to see him live. :D I was lucky enough to attend two of his concerts (on back to back days) at Zepp Tokyo during his Quantum Mechanics Rainbow tour in October of 2005. The concert itself was my first time hearing his solo music, and what an amazing time it was.

I'm sure a few of you have been to his concerts, but for those who haven't, here's my own little experience for you to read~ :D

The first night, I went with the girl who told me about the concerts and helped get me the tickets. We were the only two foreigners at the concert, which was defininitely interesting. ^^;; I decided to go back the following night to see the concert again, this time by myself. That night, I was the only non-Japanese person in the building, a fact that was noticed by DA, and he spent half the concert staring at me. XD Those two concerts were possibly the best concerts I have ever been to - he has such a great stage presence & really helps the audience get into the feel of the music. Probably the only thing I didn't enjoy about the concerts was the constant high-pitched "Dai-chaaaan~!!!" being squealed by the Japanese fangirls.

If anyone has the DVD for the fall run of the QMR tour, I'd love to see it. Or you could totally look for the only foreigner in the audience (I know they were filming for the DVD on one of the days I was there). XD

Yes, so, it's great to meet all of you! Nearly 3 years after my first DA experience, & I finally join the LJ comm for him... >___>
