Excited to read your take if you can provide one!
Does anyone know if the setlists from Paris and Cologne were any different from Helsinki or London?
Guys! I’ll write my silly little report soon BUT some minutes ago I was in a hurry to the train station and I saw Yomi and Ni~Ya (and another Japanese guy behind them lol) walking around and I took a deep breath and approached them. They both (or just Yomi, not sure) said “oo” and i waved and said “hi” and Yomi gave me a gentle cute hi-five and I said “Great concert yesterday, see you in Hamburg” Yomi said "Hamburg! " and nodded and Ni~Ya nodded too and we said bye bye and when i was leaving I heard another “oo~” and something I didn’t understand anymore but sounded positive lmao and i called my dad to tell him and almost cried out of excitement
btw Ni~Ya is so slender and good-looking and tall and Yomi looks so good as well and they are so so nice! <3
I’m happy you got to meet them! They did seem like really chill and approachable guys
Awwww! Lucky you! They surely were a bit flattered that they were recognised on the street by a fan outside of Japan.
Have a safe trip to Hamburg!
Haha same!
Did anyone got snap shot tickets btw? I got one with the band because that seemed like the best deal. And honestly if I can afford it and it helps them getting closer to break even for the tour, it’s worth it. And it’s very likely the only chance to get such a photo. But I always get nervous and star struck in these moments
If they had offered them last minute after the show, I think I would have gotten one for fun and maybe to add to the incentive for the band to come back.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THIS LUCKY AAAAAA!!! I’m surprised they’re this chill about being approached too, they must be feeling pretty happy and buzzed with excitement <3 happy for you!
I was litterary shaking and couldn’t BREATHE before the 5x5 photo but people around told me to chill because they are just people but skinny and Japanese lol (which kinda helped) and once it came to the snapshot I was calmer. They walk you in a room with the band and a staff member who will take the photo which sounded very extreme for my fangirl heart But they were very chill ofcourse. I also wanted to tell them some stuff but ended up saying I love them about 5 times SORRY FOR this long long reply lmao
I can’t believe I saw them BTW while waiting to take a snapshot which was in a separate room the door was opening and closing and Sakito was visible and he was looking in my derection and I waved and he WAVED BACK i can’t breathe it’s all too much excitement
AaAAAA??? AAAA??? AAAA??? HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE MY DREAM
DID YOU DO A SELFIE WITH HIM
I wish with my whole heart that you experience the same and more soon enough I had a photo (not a selfie but I wouldn’t have had the bravery to take a selfie) with the whole band and before the concert I did a 5x5 photo where I was in front of Yomi and the hi-touch thing where I only remember Sakito’s and Hitsugi’s faces I don’t even remember touching them but my hand feels nice after high-fiving Yomi today lmao
Yeah but nightmare’s last EU performance was 12 years ago though. And dir has more foreign fans, even in japan. Nightmare’s fanbase seemed more local to me but maybe this tour might get them more fans abroad.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up about Nightmare touring outside japan regularly though. Maybe if their songs go viral + another organizer steps up? I can’t imagine their management being very happy about the envol canceling thing.
They’re not THAT old lol probably just tired from traveling so much. They basically toured non stop last year and now they barely have time to rest between lives in europe.
I wouldn’t worry about that. Kamijo is 10 years older and he only gained his massive international fame like 3 years ago and he successfully tours internationally. The Nightmare members are all very fit people (Hitsugi has had a weight-loss journey and Yomi became a gym bro). They recently recreated their 2005 Tenka Daiboso performance a few months ago and for a bunch of 40 year olds, they did great !
Drumming is VERY labor intensive ! And Nightmare songs are not necessarily slow either. Him looking more worn out got him trending in Japan after the aforementioned concert. But he’s still very tight and out of all the members I’d say he makes the least mistakes or at least the least noticeable mistakes.
They deliberately made 2025 the heaviest schedule they’ve ever done. A schedule like this isn’t something even the worst labels would make. It’s clear they are fully confident that they can “do this” and come out stronger on the other side.
All this to say. Have some faith in them. Maybe not for international tours again, but as members overall
Thank you guys for manifesting for me!! I’m really really thankful that you guys wished me well. I’m sure I’ll definitely have some chance in the future, maybe not 100% in the same fashion but I’d at least be able to see them in the flesh!! I wish the same for everyone, to experience them and to experience them again!
Kamijo is not 10 years older c’mon But it’s not really about age, Kamijo has always cultivated his international fanbase much more than any other vkei artist I think. Nightmare really hasn’t had any international focus but they seem to be having fun so it is perfectly possible they will tour outside of Japan again. I definitely would not mind seeing them again.
Btw I suppose this might be something they always do but I really liked that they used Nightmare before Christmas as an intro song
I have held it back for weeks and now I cannot anymore: You are so incredibly adorable and a true joy to be around
Somebody posted the video of Ruka on twitter! Enjoy :3 https://x.com/Uhu_uuhhuu/status/1882906802876264660
classic Ruka - also yes, it’s Ruka’s stage persona to act like he’s indifferent or cool (however you interpret it) but he’s actually kinda chill, afaik.
ALSO LAST STOP. A part of me can’t believe it’s already the last stop, a part of me is still very sad about the cancelled leg, but alas, I think it’s gonna be an incredible wrap-up nonetheless.
Enjoy it for me, and again, if anyone is going please cheer for them, especially Sakito and Ni~ya for me. <3
Ahhhhhhhh I’m probably more like that on the internet than I can be in real life, but I will take this comment with a lot of gratitude <3 thank you
Hamburg was fantastic. They were so kind and Sakito and Yomi came down to the side of the stage were we stood. Yomi gave my friend a pat on the head and Sakito touched our hands.
The venue was a bit odd. There were parts were you could barely see anything but after we changed to the left side we could see Sakito and Ni~ya very well as the side of the stage was open.
