12012 Photo Dump- Hiroaki

There were at least fifteen people in the press pit and no room to move so to all you Hiroaki fans, I come bearing many many gifts.

12012 Live Report and Photos

After seeing what is probably 12012’s last live show in America, I truly regret having never paid much attention to this band. I remember listening to them a few years ago and then simply losing track of their releases…I didn’t realize at the time that their songs were right up my alley.

The members of 12012 had incredible showmanship and an aggressive set list that shattered all of my doubts about this band. I believe the AUSA mc expressed my feelings perfectly when he said that the band would “rip your faces off."

To be honest, maybe it was the smile that actually ripped my face off when I realized that 12012 had a GazettE flair to their sound, at least when it came to heavy rhythm songs. Hardcore fans might disagree with me in that department but I’m more than willing to bet that most 12012 fans at least like GazettE.

Fortunately I was able to get access to take photos at the show and I did get some great shots although time was limited.

Finally Back in Raleigh

Well....that was a long weekend. I was happy to see so many familiar faces at AUSA, even if the turnout was surprisingly low. Seriously, what happened to all the fans? I actually had breathing room this year.

Big thanks to anyone who picked up my flyers and to the lovely Dim Scene Ruki cosplayer who helped pass them out.

Since I was quite busy at this con, I'm happy to say that I've got some great material to add to the blog very soon.

Here's what readers can expect in the next day or so...maybe even tonight!
