AFAMY Day 1 Concert
Part 2 of AFAMY Day 1-
(I'll be using people's nicknames if I'm not sure about their real names LOL)
I started waiting in line at about 4pm+? (doors opened at 6pm+). Kyrione was already waiting in line, it was actually my first time meeting her. (friend of a friend's friend, pretty far no?) Weiss had to go change from her costume so I was spending time with Kyrione for that few hours haha.
Surprisingly the crowd control was very good for the concert line, as compared to the event within the hall itself. Finally at 6pm the doors opened and everyone was so excited to get in. Everything went very smoothly and no pushing/running happened, kudos to the staff.
Personally, I was freaking excited as the concert was pretty much the main attraction of AFA. When I went in, I was actually impressed by the stage, it looked better than I expected. The sound system was GREAT, the lighting inside and during the concert was just AMAZING. (and I'm actually comparing this to my experience at Jessie J's concert) They did a really great job and I can only sing praises with their setup.
The concert-goers were really nice too, since the guys were taller than me. They let me stand in front of them.
(thank you to whoever you were!)

I actually enjoyed Maon's performance. It was very energetic and she got the crowd jumping like hell at the start of the concert! Weiss became a crybaby the moment she heard Maon perform SCARS =P That's good I guess.
Next was Aimi's performance.
I've heard this was Aimi's first ever live performance? Correct me if I'm wrong. I think she did pretty well. I can see she tried really hard. She also sang two covers - Yozuca* - Sakurairo No Kisetsu and Hare Hare Yukai.
Of course, tha MAIN HIGHLIGHT of that night was definitely KALAFINA. The crowd chanted their name for quite a few time even before they came out.
1.Magia
2.Lacrimosa
3.Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku
4.Sprinter
5.Destination Unknown
6.Ongaku
7.To The Beginning
Not sure if I missed out on any songs. Sad though they did not sing Oblivious or Seventh Heaven. But still good stuff. No encores though.
So glad to finally see them live (even though it's not a 'full concert'). They took the time to talk to the crowd, which was really fun. Talked about walking around KL and they ate "mee goreng". At some point I think they tried to see 'wantan mee' but said 'wonton'? or something haha. One of them asked (Keiko? I think) about Malaysian desserts and I've heard people shouting ice kacang, and some other stuff. Maybe even beehoon? I think. But everyone shouted cendol in the end.
Before performing To The Beginning, they talked a bit about Fate/Zero and Keiko is a Rider fan, Hikaru - Saber, Wakana - Kiritsugu (lol! I didn't expect this).
After they performed, Weiss, Max, Kyrione, Kin Yen and I just stayed inside the hall and sat on the floor for a bit from feeling so overwhelmed by the concert. But we finally headed outside back to Hall 1 (the event hall) and prepared to go home. We looked at the lucky ballot winners to get Kalafina's autograph./SO SUPER JEALOUS AT THAT TIME.
But thanks so Sony Music Malaysia, they sold Kalafina's After Eden CD there and we could get an autograph!!! My new best friend Kin Yen who I only met on that day LOL and I just rushed in to get the CD and started queuing for the autograph session haha. Bwahaha got to meet all the 3 girls of Kalafina and even say a couple things to them. Possibly one of the best days of my life.
On a side note, Kin Yen, Kyrione and I got left behind by Weiss and Max cause we were in line. So we actually got lost on the way walking back to the hotel LOL. Then it started to rain heavily, we just protected our CDs and ran for it. Finally got back drenched though. Fun experience.
