Here is a short live report:
The convention took place in something like a school in a small Swiss village near the German border. The landscape was very beautiful and apart from the convention there was very little going on in the streets.
I don’t want to go into too much detail about the convention itself. Just briefly: It was really disorganized - However, since it was the first time the convention was held, I don’t want to be that critical.
It was very clear why most of the visitors were at the convention: DazzlingBAD. Dressed up Visual Kei fans were all over the place. Very few of them came from Switzerland. It was really nice to see that the VK scene is still so lively and creative.
There was a merchandise stand for DazzlingBAD and Loa throughout the day. The first disappointment: the band only brought about 3 t-shirts, which of course sold out immediately lol. Otherwise there were tons of Cheki variants, key rings and CDs. You could also buy a photo ticket that gave you access to a band shoot in the afternoon.
The shoot was a complete mess. No one from the organizing team knew where it was supposed to take place, so everyone who wanted to take a photo wandered around the grounds without a plan. Just when you thought you had lined up correctly, you were sent away because “the band is coming soon and doesn’t want to be seen first”. The whole day seemed as if a huge star band was in the house and the atmosphere was correspondingly tense.
At some point, there was finally a real queue for the photo shoot. There were well over 100 fans in line. Everyone was let into a dressing room individually (that’s so Visual Kei lol) and had to choose a member at the entrance. In the room itself, the band stood behind two chairs - the member you chose sat down on the chair next to you and a Polaroid photo was taken. When I came in with my Dir En Grey shirt they were like oooo Dir En grey Saiko lol.
It went really fast, I was in the room for 1 minute at most. But the band was very cute and in a good mood.
Preparations for the concert began in the evening and everyone was let in around 8 o’clock. The room was very large, so it seemed a bit empty. I would estimate that there were about 300 people there.
But when it started it was so loud and chaotic that it felt like a full room. The band treated us to almost 90 minutes of hits after hits. They were totally enthusiastic and interacted with the audience throughout. It was super fun and the band seemed happy too. In fact, it was the first time at a concert outside of Japan where I witnessed furi. They even did the classic steps to the right, steps to the left thing.
At the end, a lot of things were thrown into the audience. I caught a drum stick yay. Unfortunately the sound was really not good. However, this was probably due to the location, which I don’t think usually hosts concerts.
Here is the setlist:
カメラオブスキュラ
泥「」invisible coexistence
秤の空
sainte et salope
happy BIRTHDAY
vertigo
Sanctuary
Ash
UrOꓭorOss
heroin
pain’t
Feather

antagonism
trypophobia
The second day was actually the same as the first, except that there was no photo shoot and the concert took place earlier in the afternoon.
However, there were significantly fewer people present, as most of them apparently only had a day ticket for the previous day.
The band started half an hour late and unfortunately played much shorter than the day before.
But therefore with an almost completely different setlist, which was of course great. So they played almost all the songs from their discography over the two days. In fact, apart from Uroboross, no songs from the new album.
The band seemed even more eager to play today than the day before, as they have probably gotten used to the European audience. Too bad there weren’t that many fans today.
Here is the setlist:
UrOꓭorOss
夜叉
heroin
錆色の海
antagonism
trypophobia
楔
花一匁
カメラオブスキュラ
dear
fear
All in all it was a lot of fun and our very long journey to Switzerland was worth it. Maybe DazzlingBAD liked it so much that they will come back to Europe.
