I went to the Koda Kumi night last Sunday.

It was fun but I'm fucking pissed they never played Driving! I even made this post about it on twitter to the event page how I was so looking forward to hearing that track, given it is my most favorite of jpop. I wrote how on New Year's Eve of 2009, I had been checking online incessantly waiting to hear glimpses of the coming album TRICK while spending the night partying at a friends house. A rip of Driving was uploaded and immediately I fell in love. I hooked up my iPod to their desktop computer, transferred the song to my iPod, and spent the entire night dancing to it in the garage. We had a set of glowsticks and one of them broke while I was dancing and the glow liquid ended up spraying all over the garage floor and walls. It was as if I was dancing atop the stars.

To this day it is still my most favorite New Year's - I've never welcomed one better.

Even so, I guess the highlight was when they played D.D.D. followed by Get Up & Move!!. I was so tired from D.D.D. but then Get Up & Move!! immediately started and I had find the strength in me to keep going. I was at the front of the club and everyone was basically gathered around me, lol. I fucked up my legs dancing too much though, just like I did at Ayu night. This time my calf of my right leg and the ankle on that side are sore, but my knee on my left is pretty damaged, lol. I think I tore my meniscus or something.
