I've never gotten to see them, unfortunately. T-T

They came to America last year, and I was living in Texas. They had tour dates set, and I bought a ticket as soon as they went on sale, but they had to cancel.

I still have the ticket, though. And, I also got a copy of the Askew Magazine they sold at their Lives since they cancelled. All I had to pay was the price to have it shipped.

I have seen them only one time, last year 22th september and I will always be thankfull to my friend who told me about it. It was just awsome.

I had never seen as beautiful and tallented live band as they are. It was one of the best ♥

I have seen them only on time 22th september 2010. It was awesome concert! I never forget it! I got Zero's plectrum there and it was the best birthday gift ever! One of the best concerts ever♥

Twice:
Taste of Chaos (still have the venue's plastic wristband with the show's date Sharpie'd on the back tacked to my wall with my posters) and last year's Human Clad Monsters tour where they signed my poster and I almost cried with each hand shake. I was literally shaking...

Two of my fave concerts to date!

I'm happy to say that I've seen them four times:

2006.11.26. Tavastia, Helsinki, FINLAND
2007.7.7. Ruisrock, Turku, FINLAND
2009.7.25. Nosturi, Helsinki, FINLAND
2010.9.22. Tavastia, Helsinki, FINLAND

Never had the money to go abroad, sadly. I miss these gigs now and I'm sure I will miss them still after many years. I can't even say why they're so amazing live, they just are.

Two times, one during Psychedelic Parade in Europe, and one during last year tour. Both in Poland.

Subject: Re: Gigs you've been 29th June 2011, 9:08 pm

Zero! No one ;-;
Unfortunately, I never had money to go abroad and of course they never came to LatinAmerica so I never had the chance to see them live Sad

I've seen them only once.. That was the best time I've ever had in my life, though. <3

Subject: Re: Gigs you've been 29th June 2011, 10:28 pm

I've seen them once, on their Taste of Chaos Tour in Seattle. They blew my face off with their wonderfulness. Of course, I eventually found my face, hurhur :B

They were brilliant, and my Zero fanboy squeed like a banshee.

Subject: Re: Gigs you've been 29th June 2011, 11:21 pm

I saw them like 5 times.

2006.11.22 Columbia Club, Berlin, Germany
2006.11.29 Meet & Greet in Berlin, Germany, Neo Tokyo Store (which I can't remember clearly, because I was way too nervous ._.)
2009.07.19 Kantine, Cologne, Germany
2009.07.28 Knaack Club, Berlin, Germany
2010.09.25 Zeche, Bochum, Germany

I couldn't handle how pretty close I stood to them at Knaack Club, because this venue was so small xD
From the Meet & Greet of course, I just can remember Tsukasa & Karyu, I shook hands with all, but... it's a long time ago >.<;

I've seen them once, last year 29.9 Budapest. It was the best day of my life! I saw Zero and Karyu smile and wave from the tourbus ^^ (yeah... I ran after it XD but it was worth!!) They were soooo cute and happy! <3

The concert was awesome of course! And they played Garnet. <3

Subject: Re: Gigs you've been 1st July 2011, 10:40 pm

Zero! TwT!!

I had not money to go abroad. Neither came to Chile and Latin America in general. [Although there was a rumor last year that would come with Miyavi. Obviously, it did not

]

I hope to see them live will not remain a dream. Sad

Subject: Re: Gigs you've been 2nd July 2011, 2:55 am

I've seem them three times.

Taste of Chaos @ Hara Arena, Dayton 2008.03.07
Human-clad Monsters @ The Bottom Lounge, Chicago 2010.08.09
Human-clad Monsters @ The Mod Club Theatre, Toronto 2010.08.11

Each time has been wonderful. At RTOC, I got first row in front of Karyu. He threw me a pick, but missed, and landed in the gap. The girl next to me got it, but since she wasn't a fan, she gave it to me. That was really nice of her. I guess Karyu saw that I didn't get it at first, because a venue guard gave me another that Karyu had given to him when he got off stage. My mom saw him give the guard the pick, and pointed to me. I'm still thrilled about that to this day. But also, I happened to run into Karyu while I was walking around the venue, and he gave me a hug.

The two shows last year were incredible. I couldn't believe how great they were, and HIZUMI sounded better than I've ever heard, I really thought he was better. I had so much fun at those shows, and was so amazed by their music live. I refuse to believe that's the last time I'll ever see them. I pray each one of us can see them again.

Four times.

And damn it, it should have been six!

First one: La trebendo, Paris 2005.10.23
the coupling tour with Kagerou. Got there through a miracle. Was to short to see anything below their necks, but I was positively raptured.
Pumpehuset, Copenhagen 2006.11.25
Heavenly. I was front row, fainted, got carried off, came to and fought my way back to the exact same spot. Got some signing done. Asked Karyu to marry me. Awkward.
Klubben, Stockholm 2007.07.03
Worst ever. I was in Oxford while they were in my hometown, so I missed out.
somewhere in Yokohama 2008.07.23
I was in Tokyo, it was my birthday and their only gig during my stay buuuut I was a summer exchange student and wasn't allowed to go. Painful.
Klubben, Stockholm 2009.07.24
FINALLY got to see them again. Front row, the crowd were creepy little girls who tried to murder me, but it was awesome. My creepy roadie-suitor gave me Karyu's discarded guitar strings.
Colombia Club, Berlin 2010.09.25
Otherworldly. Wore the best outfit, little to no pressure from the crowd, but so much energy and emotions oh the emotions. It was quite terrible, I really felt heartbroken and empty afterwards. My pessimist personality had assumed the worst and it kinda felt like the last live I guess.
But I just really really hope it wasn't.

2010 August 3rd @The Roxy (LA) during Human-Clad Monsters World Tour

It was unbeleivably fantastic.

There was a short, rushed, dimly-lit signing session afterwards for those who had bought a poster, which I did, so I got to shake all of their hands and thank them for their amazing performance.

When I bowed to ZERO my shirt slipped down and I revealed so much cleavage that HE ACTUALLY DROPPED HIS PEN AND BLUSHED LIKE CRAZY (I have... rather large... *cough*) So, helpful little Sprite I am, I bent over and got it for him. He blushed harder.

It was entirely accidental, but I wish I had thought to do it intentionally so I could've done it better T^T
