Hello there! Could you tell us more about the time that Die visited you in the hospital? of course, if you are confortable in sharing this! I remember seeing a video of the backstage with a fan that Die visited at the hospital!
No problem! In August of 2010 when I was 15 I had a brain injury (my brain was bleeding; don't recommend) and I was suppose to see DEG in concert when they were touring with Apocalyptica but of course I couldn't as I was in the hospital so my mom actually wrote to the band or I guess whoever was handling the tour.
She actually went to the concert and got a signed shirt for me. Someone at Nokia Theatre recognized her as the person who wrote to them and... well I'm not sure what happened after that but the next day (I think) Die came to visit me in the hospital. I don't remember that at all because I was in a coma but the next year I was contacted by two women who work closely with DEG, Natsuko and Reina, and they asked if I would like to be interviewed to be in the Age Quod Agis DVD and of course I said yes.
They gave me free VIP tickets and backstage passes and I met the band minus Kyo in New York after the show at Irving Plaza. I am forever grateful for what they did for me and I'll continue to support this band for as long as they stay active. I even have three tattoos dedicated to them haha
Sorry if this was really long winded. You can find a picture of me and Die in the hospital here you're curious (fair warning: I was in a coma when that picture was taken so if you're sensitive to stuff like that please don't click the link). I don't have the crazy afro hair anymore and I am doing much better; I'm engaged to a great guy and I've recently earned my second degree. I'm open about sharing this story with anyone who asks but I always feel like I'm coming off as bragging.
