I.... I .... I can't even describe how absolutely amazing The Concert was. So much so that I WISH I could have afforded to see it twice.

I don't even know if I can write up a coherent description yet. It. I. Yes. Particularly "Ai to Shi no Rondo" was Amazing. Zunko as Death, with her band of kurotenshi, led by Wataru. And Wataru.... gah... I.. um....I don't even know how to describe it. Wataru in a pair of the tighetest leather pants you can imagine, black knee-high boots. A fishnet top with a cross across the front, designed to cover the ....errr.... essential bits (though I'm guessing she had something flesh-colored under the mesh top). Either way, not complaining. Her short back hair, slicked back. All in all, very masculine looking.

When I saw her come out, I thrust the opera glasses at mizukusa so that she could see who it was, because at first glance you would think she was one of the male backup dancers who made up the rest of the kurotenshi.

But... but...when.... during the second to last verse of the song, she laid down on the stage in front of Zunko, making certain motions... I ... um... *dies*

Perhaps I should ATTEMPT to start at the beginning, rather than the middle of the second act. I honestly haven't got the energy at the moment to do a full summary... but...

The entire first act was a sort of play-told-via song, in this case, Romeo and Juliet. Zunko and Wataru were abstract "emotion dancers," representing Love, Anger, Lust, Passion, etc. The others played the principal cast members of the "play". The act featured songs from 1996 Baz Luhrman movie version, the Prokofiev ballet, the musical "Romeo & Julia," West Side Story and an AMAZING rendition of "El Tango de Roxanne" from Moulin Rouge.

I was completely and absolutely blown away.

And this was only the first act.

Will HAVE to write more about the second act either later or tomorrow. Because... WOW. And I got my dream fulfilled of hearing Zunko sing "Yami ga Hirogaru." (Which, incidentally, is AMAZING when sung by two Deaths and two Rudolfs in various languages *_____*)

Okay.... I'll give you the second act set list, just to tide you over. I'll let you guess who sang what XD
