What a Great Performance

Report from Paparon's Stage


As scheduled, our band has played on Paparon's Stage. We went on stage just before break time, maybe 5p.m. Actually the whole schedule was postponed because of the rain. But some bands before us was cancelled. What a pity...

Okay, I will tell all about the event. The name of the event is 100% Japan (I forget the full name), presented by J-Zone Malang Ottaku Community and Cosuki. Placed in Paparon's Pizza in Malang, Indonesia at October 25th 2008. Scheduled to start at 3 p.m. but postponed until 4 p.m. More than 20 bands scheduled to play in 15 minutes each band.

Our formation just like recent. I as Guitarist and Vocalist, Faris as Guitarist, Miftah as Bassist, and Pras as Drummer. But we played with new vocalist. Like I said before, her name is Kinanti, a pretty but "hazardous" girl (I'm sorry Kinanti...). What is the definition of the "hazardous"? I will tell you if that happened.

As planned, we played 3 of High and Mighty Color's songs. Those are Rosier, Tegami, and Ichiriin no Hana. I will give reviews about everything. First, the stage and environment. The instruments was rented from Gashanta Studio. The whole things is good, except the cable (because of that our performance wasn't perfect, I will tell later). The most I hate is the creepy soundman. As I see after our performance, many band's sound is not balanced. Like our band, my guitar sound is too little.

About our performance, again, I think that's good for now. Although my guitar sound wasn't in the best condition, I had a will to be on stage again. Pras done better and stable pace. Faris's skill is going better too. I don't notice about Miftah, but I think he is better too. Me? Ow... although I am too busy to play guitar everyday, my skill doesn't come down. Lastly, our vocalist. Well, well, well... I think her performance is not too good. She said that I like "patung es". But as I see, she is the one that like "patung es" on stage. Haha... but it's okay. It will be improved by the experiences.

Sorry if the photo I upload is too small because it's from cellphone camera. I will upload on photo hosting if I get the better version.

What people said:
- My Mom:
Your vocalist is changed again? (I said yes)
Why? (I said because the previous vocalist was...)
Ow, I see... My comments is your new vocalist power is better. But, the unnatural thing is she often sweeped her hair. Maybe she confused with her hair or her hair is about to fall down, haha... (I said I didn't notice that)

- Reza Yoshimitsu:
Wow, your Rosier is good. I like it (I said of course)
But, what happened when you play Ichiriin no Hana, at part after melody? (I said I don't know, my guitar sound was dissapeared)
Ok, I want to borrow your guitar belt (I said Okay!)

- My Dad:
Your vocalist is changed again? (I said yes)
Why? (I said because the previous vocalist was...)
Ow, actually I wanted to visit her parents. How about visiting your new vocalist's parents? (I said it's not necessary, she lives with her aunt)
And why your guitar sound was too little? (I said I don't know. I think the sound manager is creepy)

- My Little Sister:
Huwaaaa... (She was crying because she wanted to see me but couldn't because she has an english lesson)

- Faris Akatsuki:
Hey, your producer is dissappointed. He wanted us to play our own song. (I said really?! Let's go to him to say sorry)

- Another People:
Wow, your performance is good. I like it. (I said thanks...)
