just keep on dreaming...dreaming, dreaming...(mimicking dory).. just kidding, girls!

i think japan's people really appreciate music very much. if you're being observant, you'll realize there are so many bonus tracks for cd released in japan for any international artist..you name it. sixpence none the richer once recorded "kiss me" in japanese version. "fury" in absolution and "glorious" in SMBH are the bonus tracks exclusively for japan market (CMIIW). maybe because in japan copyright infringement is really low, live concerts are always full of music lovers and not posers, their music organizers among the best in the world, the regulations is supportive, their concert venues maybe already using the most advanced tech available on this earth, hahahaha....the crowds' craziness is above normal for asia's standard, and japan's is well-known for their uncanny interest in western culture, so..i think it's normal for them to get multiple concerts in different places. their people, their music industry and their infrastructures are well-organized and well-prepared.

i think you must risk it once in your lifetime, you still young after all...so, maybe u could try next time believe me...the first thirty minutes just like dehydrated in hell, but after you gain "the force" while singalong and that jumping stuff, you'll get extra power... but...you must survive the "critical" thirty minutes, especially when you're in the front rows...it's brutal...sadistic...but it's awesome!!! this is the shot i scanned from newspaper http://farm1.static.flickr.com/124/404609624_d94ef2105b.jpg see a small girl wearing black hijab? she survived, dunno if she still watching concert till the end, but she survived the critical moment...and she was in the third or fourth row in the middle of festival area (the most dangerous place on earth..hhahahaha). risk it...it's worth it..

IMHO, rock concerts are different than r n'b, pop, rap, or whatever the genres are. the fans treat the concerts just like some cult ritual. they MUST love rock music coz being in the rock concert really uncomfortable, and the fans pay more for festival ticket to feel the energy (i usually call it "the force"..hahahahah) than sitting in the tribune. i mean...people with "common" sense would never pay more for festival ticket, it's not comfortable, it's hot, damp, and...jungle law rules! stronger men last till the end.... so....what you expect from people who treat rock music like some cult ritual is one great wave of energy in concert hall...they sing, they scream, they shout, they forget the world like there's no tomorrow, whoa....

i bet she/he is a dan brown's fan, sofia proll=april fools my friend from indonesian messageboard did "break" the anagram. cheers from a guy next door
