"The sparks that seem to be shooting right through Blixa Bargeld were generated by someone in the “band” attacking a large metal pipe with a circular saw down in the pit. It was a great effect but it only took a moment for the stage curtains to catch light. I did get a shot of the fire, but as I was busy fleeing at the time it’s a bit out of focus." David Arnoff
T oshiya-san’s 逢いびきの森 (Aibiki no Mori) shares a few of his interests in anime, shouju manga, and mecha anime. It shares that he enjoyed collecting model kits and character merchandise. Some of Toshiya-san’s favorite manga artists are/were Ishinomori Shoutarou, Ueda Rinko, and CLAMP 💙✨
He does express his obsessions very well, and it is full of raw emotion that I love Toshiya-san for.

Kaoru-san’s 元祖 薫屋 (Ganso Kaoru-ya) simply highlights some shops he visits, arcade games, and teasing drummer-chan! (poor shinya) Kaoru-san also mentions one of his special/favorite guitars “Purinchyan” used during cage!

Shinya-san’s ねむねむ博士の大逆襲 (Nemunemu Hakase no Daigyakushuu) shares a response from him to a fan letter mentioning Biriken, which Shinya-san mentions he used to watch as well. The pink dog was memorable for him so he was able to draw him from memory as shown! (Cute cute cute~) “ビリ犬は描いたことがないのでうまく描けません。” “I’ve never drawn Biriken before, so I didn’t do it very well.”

Die-san’s Die 名所で名酒 (Die Meisho de Meishu) shares him and four people including Kyo-san doing karaoke over DIR EN GREY songs! Jealous, Cage, -I’ll-, Yurameki, Akuro no Oka, -ZAN-, Yokan, and Garden. (I wonder how Die-san’s singing voice sounded at the time… 😓🥹)
Then Die-san ranked everyone’s performances, as shown!
Kyo-san’s 死の真相 (Shi no Shinsou) shares him going into basically a full rant over fan expectations, how people interpret his appearance, how he is misunderstood/rejected but still continues to give his all because “he’ll still be a fan of himself” (We understand you in every way kyo-san, trust me 😌)
He ends it with a Dio reference from Jojo’s bizarre adventure! “Bless Dio! Bless the Joestar bloodline!”
