VAMPS Halloween Party 2015 -part 2- (25/10/2015)

This is the second part of VAMPS Halloween Party, starting off with Dempagumi.inc.

With creepy laughter and an electro tune accompanied by church music, Dempagumi.inc start their show. The six members of the Akihabara idol group are dressed up in a cute colourful style, and hit off with catchy music and choreography. Meanwhile, a film filled with bright “otaku”-like imagery is shown on the screens either side of the stage.

There’s a lot to look at during Dempagumi.inc’s show: the screens captivate with a barrage of bright colours and animations, but onstage, the six girls do an impressive job of singing and dancing. Their music has traditional Japanese influences, but plenty of hyperactive pop as well: their show could only have originated in Akihabara. Future Dive starts off with a game tune, and features a comedic dance.

The audience waves along with the intro of Itsuka Haruka Kanata. Ayane Fujisaki starts off with the couplet, and is soon dancing along with the others while Yumemi Nemu sings part of the chorus. The way Dempagumi.inc’s singing intertwines with the choreography makes these girls a delight to watch perform. With it’s happy music and the members’ hyperactive, high-pitched singing, their last song Den Den Passion is a blast, and they close their set with smiles of theirs and the audience's faces.

Yurica, member of girl group Idoling!!!, gives a short show between Dempagumi.inc and Golden Bomber. She is a great performer, and even though she only sings one song Alice In Wonderland, she makes a great show out of it. The music is very J-pop, catchy and cute, and shows she's a born idol. Her cute dress with a glitter bow on it, makes the picture complete. After the song she talks with the presentor about her project Booing!!! and also turns to the audience to ask them where from Japan they are from.

Golden Bomber are famed for their comic style of performance. The audience screams as they arrive onstage: Kiryuuin Shou as Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench, Kyan Yutaka as the robot Pepper, Utahiroba jun as a Japanese medicine, and Darvish Kenji as the mascot Chi-Dejika. Their costumes immediately draw laughs from the crowd.

It’s well known that only Golden Bomber’s singer actually performs live, and this is immediately evident. ‘Guitarist’ Kyan Yutaka doesn’t even have a guitar, but he does have a tablet taped to his chest with an image of an electric guitar. After “playing” a guitar solo on his tablet, he experiences some “technical” issues and smoke starts coming out of his costume.

The members run around and dance to the sound of electro rock beats. The vocalist’s costume slowly starts to collapse, but he carries on regardless. During the show, the video screens display close-ups of the members, but seem to have a certain focus on drummer Darvish Kenji’s backside, and more than once, the crowd get a clear view of it.

Ending with their classic Memeshikute, the members dance as cheerleaders with pompoms, the audience goes crazy and effortlessly imitate all the moves. Before leaving the stage, Golden Bomber strike a pose, putting smiles on the faces of the whole crowd.

Right after Golden Bomber’s exit, the curtains open on a small stage to the right of the main one. It’s hard for the audience on the left side of the stage to see, so the video screens show close-ups of the stage as Silent Siren appear. All dressed up like cute bunnies, the band are ready to rock the crowd’s socks with their up-tempo pop-rock laced with swirling electronics.

DanceMusiQ, their second song of the night, is exactly what the title says. Keyboardist Yukarun dances with the music while playing her synths. She and drummer Hinanchu having the lead in the song, their playing is best to be heard and energetic. Bassist Ainyan also shows her skills and jumps along with the music when she can. The band’s set is considerably shorter than the previous artists, so their third song is also their last.

Silent Siren close their set with Guru Guru Wonderland. Towels are soon swinging in the air while the girls hop around the stage. Vocalist Suu wishes the audience a happy Halloween, and has a small talk with the host, in which they show off their bunny costumes before making way for the night’s headline act: VAMPS.
