11/21/2004: Psycho le Cemu In-Store Event @ Takadanobaba ESP Hall
By Supaaren
There were about 400 people there, we were packed into a sizable livehouse-like place, roughly the size of AREA. It was pretty crowded, but mostly because people were smooshing towards the front. I saw one girl cosplaying as seek in his maid outfit, an AYA cheerleader, and a nerai looking girl who I could've sworn was actually a man... :D
The new album was playing in the b/g while we waited, and a number of us did the furitsuke/parapara to Yume Kazaguruma when that came on; it was good fun. ^_^
INTERVIEW:
PLC decided to sit on top of the table instead of on the chairs, since everyone was standing and no one would be able to see them other wise.
seek: *scoots over and motions for the MC to sit down next to him*
DAISHI: Hey, don't do that! It'll be like a see-saw, and I'll go flying off!!
MC: So which song did you guys like working on for the new album?
AYA: One day!
YURA-sama: Universe! :D
Lida: NEO
DAISHI: I liked Panorama, and NEO~
Fans: You're so cute!! We love the new hair!
DAISHI: Am I really that cute? You guys must be mistaken.
(Ren's note: DAISHI looks sickly skinny again...)
MC: How was recording?
DAISHI: Well, it seems the lyrics have grown longer, but more beautiful I think. Like Lida's hair! *points to Lida's black hair, then points at the fans* Aren't all those girls cute, Lida?
Lida: *just grins, embarassed* Well, for the bonus track, "Yuu," at least, I was feeling inspired by X (X Japan).
MC: So how about the game? (The USA game whose commercial Yume Kazaguruma is from)
DAISHI: Everyone's really been talking about that a lot lately. But yet... Everytime the commercial comes on, I'm always surprised! ...You should come here (MC), it's hard to talk to you when you're standing so far away! :D
ENQUETTE (Questions from fans, written on scraps of paper beforehand)
Where do you see yourselves 10 years from now?
seek: Hum, I haven't really thought about it. What...I'll be 35? 36? It should be fun, because I think life just gets better as you go on, huh...
DAISHI: 35?! Kyah! Lida and I are almost there! *laughs*
AYA: I'll be drinking Jack Daniels. *grins*
seek: Will you get fat, too? (to AYA)
DAISHI: Wha-what? What kinda question is that?!
YURA-sama: I don't really drink, you know. (note: He says this in the context that when people say they have quit smoking, they still may occasionally smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day.) I don't think too much will will change in 10 years. Well, I'll havemore seniority in life so maybe my -SAMA will have more validity. *laughs*
Lida: 10 years from now? Probably just the same as tomorrow... talking about this just hurts my feelings! *makes a cute sad face*
What kind of hats do you guys like?
AYA: *raises his hand energetically* I really like G-caps! (note: he says this in extremely masculine intonation... And from what I understand, G-cap is like a trucker hat)
DAISHI: I'm really more into jackets, you know... I like Rock n' Roll, and Mama Cherry kinds.
What's your ideal married life?
DAISHI: Whaaaat? I'll never get married! But to be honest, if I did get married, I'd be in it for the kids; I think maybe being a father might be pretty cool. (That last sentence, don't count me 100% on that one)
Lida: Oh you know, the norm...
DAISHI: YOU'RE NOT NORMAL!!!
Lida: Heh... K-k-k-kids? I don't think I want kids... I'm too much of a kid myself, what with I'd probably have more toys than my own kid. *looks embarassed again*
YURA-sama: That's a hard question. Umm...I've really yet to decide whether or not I really even want to get married.
AYA: Dude...I'll be wearing skirts! *looks a bit nervous*
seek: sigh, sigh, huh... what to say...
DAISHI: You sound like a politician! What about sex, though? I think having sex everyday would be cool.
What kind of Christmas presents do you want?
YURA-sama: Yes! Yes...Maybe something like fresh fruit?
DAISHI: He keeps saying yes!
YURA-sama: Yes! Yeah, I am, aren't I? *laughs*
AYA: Ummmmmmmmm......
DAISHI: How about a G-cap? :D
AYA: Okay then! G-caps! :D
Lida: .......hmm.
Fan: ADULT VIDEOS!!!
PLC: *everyone just cracks up laughing*
Lida: *looks pretty embarassed yet again* Umm...small things, like something I can fit in my hand.
DAISHI: ...G-cap? :D
Lida: Can I fit a G-cap in my hand?! >:|
seek: Well, you see... When I was four years old, I really wanted one of those Saint Seiya crosses, but I never got one, so now I'll just ask Santa for something like alcohol. Preferrably Shochu (japanese alcohol made of buckwheat, rice, etc...).
DAISHI: I always drink BOURBON!!!!!
Lida: I like Orahai/Urahai (I have no idea what this is)
Fans: How about Yumechu?! (this either)
AYA: I like shochu.
(more notes: seek plays with his lip piercings too much. Maybe it's a nervous habit. Also, AYA's hair is actually dyed pink today!)
DAISHI: *asks the fans* So, who drinks?
*pretty much everyone raises their hands*
DAISHI: Okay, now who's under 20?!
*only a few hands remain, and giggling abounds*
GIFTS
Here, they gave away five sets of American PLC pins. Those pins that J-pop house sells. Can't get them in Japan. :o Each member did Jyan-ken-pyon and whoever lasted the longest got a free set of pins. (note: They ALL started with "paper" XD )
Who's the most perverted?!
Lida: *raises he hand proudly* Meee! I'm number one! *grins* Who's the next most pervy? Oh, that's definitely seek!
seek: *laughs* Yeah, I'm a big perv too!
DAISHI: Then comes me!
What will you do after this?
seek: I saw a neat place earlier down by the station; I wanna go eat Maguro!
AYA: Sounds good!
YURA-sama: Huh, I think I'll try some... (then he says something about boobs, and looks at Lida)
Lida: Hey, leave me outta this!
DAISHI: Okay, okay, we gotta talk about serious stuff now. *continues to talk about the December tour and how they're looking forward to it*
Lida: Maybe I'll let you guys hear a real "nyan nyan" from me in December. :3
