>>>KURODA MICHIHIRO "POP STAR" (2004.11.27 @ Takadanobaba CLUB PHASE)
We had lots of cute, funny Natsumi-chan moments... for example, a band that would also play tonight as an opener was called "saboten WILLY". Saboten means Cactus. So Sarah, who... no, I won't mention the name on MY website, but she ...well argh I suppose I have to. Sarah likes this useless man named Kirito or some shit, so Sarah decided to exclaim in Japanese that he is a cactus! Natsumi-chan sputtered in English, "KIRITO IS NOT CACTUS!". Ahaha. Love <3 I also started physically fighting with Sarah for reasons unknown, and Natsumi-chan started yelling "Domestic Violence!!!". Dying ensued.
The opening band was a cute bouncy kinda girl and I hope she does well in life. Then this HORRID band played. They were called "PHONES" and I thought the call was calling them "Fonz". You know, like "Heeeeeyy" Fonz. Oh nevermind, go watch Nick at Nite. Anyway he was this built but short thick stubby little Japanese man, who wanted so, so, so badly to be black. Not just black, one of those offensive rapper people (who we know can be black or white). He was trying to raise the roof and everything. He even had a "bitch" or a "ho" or whatever, usually in rap women are "bitches" so I'll go with that. His bitch even had her hair done up all crimped in little braids and all did the backup bitch voice there had to be. This guy's attitude was weird too, and I don't mean Kenichi-retard weird, I mean ...bad-weird. His piano player was this bald man who looked like a balloon and made pained faces while banging keys. I can hardly describe this band. I just kept looking at Sarah going "I need to pee". When their final bad song about peace or some shit ended, I bolted. The toilet had a sticker that said THRASHING PUNK ATTACK! on the lid. I was like holy shit, where's the bathroom I can use and emerge with my ass still in one piece? I survived though. I went back into the club and squeeeezed back to Sarah and Natsumi. THEN KURODA AND BABI-CHAN CAME OUT ON STAGE!!!!!!!!!!fangirlynessetclotsofexclamationpoints. I fucking LOVE this man. I LOVE this man. He did WATER COLORS first and I was like OMMGGG because that's the song I cried at last time. And I listened with this big grin on my face, staring. I saw Sarah LOOKING at me. My grin was maybe blinding. When he finished he was like KURODA MICHIHIRO DESUUUUUUUUU and I was like yay yay yay! hop! hop! hop! I know you are! He did a faster song, tazogare TACTICS, which has Babi-chan, Kuroda's chubby little friend, singing this high pitched waily part. SO CUTE.
He finished with TOKAGE no hi which is one of his oldest solo songs! And finally Urewashi no R&R Star!!!!!!!! Which is so rockin and funny. He kinda starts it just talking in a poetic way into the mic while Babi-chan plays acoustic. You know, like all cool and smooth. "So I've got a New Year's concert in Shibuya.... yeah, ooh, yeah... and some others too... yeah yeah.... so why don't you come... baby yeah...." and this would go on for a while. He at one point pointed to my face and mumbled something and Natsumi turned to me all GIN! TEEHEE! I totally have no clue what he said to me. He loves me though. Then he made us yell back to him. "Kurorin wa KAKKOII!!", "BABI-CHAN MO KAKKOII!" and he got silly and had us say "PE-YON-JIN WA KAKKOII!" Pe-yon-jin is this guy from a Korean soap opera called "Winter's Sonata" and he's usually called Yon-sama and he happened to be in Japan that night. DIE. Everyone loves him cept me. DIE. So Kuroda had us say how suteki and cute he was also, and did his song, and grabbed himself, and then it was time for goodbyes! He also commented that night about poor Babi-chan being on a diet. POOR BABI-CHAN! GOOD LUCK SWEETIE! And how everyone calls him "Kuroda" and how its funny. When we left the club I sat around doodling Kuroda to remember how soft his hair had looked and some girls were talking about me. MEANINES >:( That was my night with Kuroda
that left me screaming how much I love him. God I LOVE HIM!
Special Photos Time!
Set List

This
was a good day, but a short time was actually spent with Kuroda, thus my
little report. I went to Tower Records with Sarah before the live to buy
Kotani Kinya's new album, NATIVE - its not so bad, its pretty similar to
his old stuff! Nice Native American photoshoot too. In Tower Records' bathroom
we discussed weight and then met CHICKEN OF DOOM. I posted a pictute of
chicken of doom at the bottom of this report. We met up with Natsumi-chan
my love! And picked up tickets and stuff before going to get some foods
at Tenya the Tempura place! Hurray!
Sarah
originally wasn't going, so I basically just took money out and bought
a ticket for her. We went in and hung out, I got to meet some new friends.
I did my Kenichi impressions for them - from Space Dreamer etc - they thought
I was great. Laughing their asses off. Of course, I am great!
Kuroda
did a little MC (which is what they call "talking between songs during
a live" in Japan. Why? I dunno. Many Chats? Multiple Convesations? Milked
Cat? Moose Crap? Mini Cock? I dunno) and told us about a time when he was
a teen working the racks in Kentucky Fried Chicken (which are all over
Japan). He said it often got really busy right around lunchtime and he
would clumsily drop chicken on the floor. Because he was too busy to bother
about it, he just stuck it back in the heating rack. Then people ate it.
EWWWWW KURODA EWWWWWWWW EWWW EWWWWWWW YOU FUCKING NASTY SICK ah well I
love ya. He did ORENJI and BISCUIT
Love... isn't that the best name for a song? He PLAYED THE
HARMONICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And jumped and did mid air splits and stretched
his chicken skinny yet luscious legs out. And he kept grabbing his crotch.
Maybe he was itchy. Or something else, like back in Iceman...
