YMCK for free

Today I went with friend Miwa to see the free YMCK show at the new KDDI Designing Studio.

YMCK played songs from Family Music and also about 3 new songs, including one called something like "??? Radio Reaction" (I couldn't see the first word because of a head — see below), and a sort of new theme song that went "YMCK, let's go!" and had some fun clapping crowd interaction.

The big inconvenient about the space used for the show is that the stage is located "below", and those who couldn't get one of the 40 reserved seats (given to the first arrived, out of 150) had to watch standing at a flat upper level, meaning that anyone who's not right at the front probably couldn't see much at all, if anything.
This being our case, we could catch occasional glimpses of YMCK's members, and the rest of the time watch the videos and VJ Kodama Yūichi's work. I was actually lucky to have a small gap through which I could watch cute Midori most of the time. I was also surprised to see Nakamura-san without a hat for the first time, he has long hair!

As for the the VJing, it did look good, and I'm sure it was a lot of work to prepare the clips used. However aside of one new song with cool Famicom-like animations (not sure if it was this VJ's work?) I thought that YMCK's usual videos fit their music better since they're all sync'd up.
Since the new songs probably don't yet have video though, I guess it was much better than nothing at all... especially for us on the second floor.

That was a very fun show, and all free!! Thanks KDDI!

Now off to Enban for the last Giragira Night!
