[lifestyle] All 90’s Visual Kei Karaoke

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 by Sarah

Live shows are fun. I guess. Watching a group of musicians standing up high on a stage, surrounded by giant, altar-like speakers, inhaling waves upon waves of screams from the adoring public, going home with a sense that you made a difference in the lives of more people than the average person meets in his or her lifetime. It’s a glorious, beautiful, and magnificent feeling for the musicians. While that’s all well and good, I can’t help but wonder: what about my time in the spotlight? What about my glory? What about my fans?

Ok, I know I don’t have any fans. In fact, I don’t have any discernible talent in terms of music. In all honesty, the same goes for the majority of fans. However, that doesn’t stop us from craving the attention and approval from the masses, even if on a slightly smaller scale.

That’s why the All 90’s Visual Kei Karaoke Event was invented.

Ok, here’s the deal. Normally, I would stall with some sort of quip about a band’s name, or the song titles, or their hair, or any other low-blow filler that seems to be the only way I can start an article. But not this time. No, boys and girls, that would be an insult to the concert I recently attended, perhaps even bordering on offensive to a band comprised of Jrock royalty. Who is this band that has left this sarcastic, cynical bastard speechless? Why, Creature Creature.

Creature Creature stepped foot on Tokyo’s Shibuya O-East stage on June 20 with an eerie calm. The name of their two-stop tour is Simone and the Imperial Wrath. A befitting title for the sense of awe that befell the audience. There was a hush over the crowd as several figures dressed in black emerged from the shadows. It wasn’t long before the audience began to buzz with fits of excitement, screaming the names of musicians I never thought I’d ever get to see live.
