Sonata live
This was the second time I saw Sonata Arctica live, but the first time they were playing as a support band before Nightwish and I didn’t really know them. (懐かしい！) This time it was only them and it was VERY fun
Metal gigs are just about the only place in Japan where you can really just forget everything and go wild and let it all out, shout at the top of your lungs and jump up and down to complete exhaustion, trample over other people, etc. I could barely stand on my feet by the end.
The Japanese as a crowd are very mild, too. I could go right up front to like the 4th or 5th row without being killed or anything.
Fun fact: the word they use for “going to a metal gig” is 参戦, “participate in” + “war”. Lols.
hehe, looks like you had fun.
