I had no ticket for the Moi dix Mois and Kozi Deep Sanctuary concert (July 19, 2009 at Ebisu Liquidroom) – but decided to meet my friends and see what fate had in store for me. Perhaps one of them would drop dead and I could go in his place? (You may recall how I nabbed a Gackt seat at the very last moment.)

The J-Goths met at Ebisu Station at 3:30pm and walked to a nearby stall for pre-concert taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle with red bean or custard inside). In the summer, you can buy taiyaki in a cup of ice cream or with frozen fillings. Hardcore pose, right?

I’m wearing my Innocent World kittycat dress and a new Alice and Pirates bonnet from Laforet. I bought it because a) rich purple is among my favorite colors; b) I can fold up the bonnet and carry it in my purse.

Comte de Sang’s blue contacts and blue-streaked half-wig paid tribute to Mana’s signature colors. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this post.)

Yukiro Dravarious found this two-piece disco bodysuit in a Machida vintage store. A perfect fit, silver with slits… it must have been a gift from outer space! And how groovy is his pink neon scar?

Nana joined us in time for a run to the convenience store Lawson. On this sweltering day, we wisely stocked up on beverages (alcoholic ones, obviously). A quick bull ride and it was off to the concert venue…

Next, I’ll post photos of Mana cosplayers, Lolitas at the show, and a video of the performances. Have you ever seen Moi dix Mois live?
