DATS中国巡演广州站心情日记公布!

“I wanna see you smile on me…” 看完DATS的广州的演出以后，Amazon的旋律不断地在我脑海里循环。早川随着节奏晃动时不时被染出一圈光晕的爆炸头，大井轻快准确的鼓点和挥鼓棒的样子始终挥之不去。2017年10月的广州与往年一样，依旧是闷热的夏天。11号早上在上班的路上，刷推特发现DATS早早地就已经出发到机场了，4个人都穿了长袖外套，我瞬间脑补了他们下飞机感受到阵阵热浪时内心的崩溃。正和lulu吐槽天气，就突然被lulu拜托去借键盘架，我十分受宠若惊，虽然是去借一个我很熟悉的东西，但为自己喜欢的乐队演出而借器材，这是第一次。



下午我早早地去领了器材，本想着DATS一帮人应该已经到，但因为交通问题，他们比预计晚了将近两小时才到。可以说他们是非常辛苦了，山长水远地从日本而来，长达十二个小时的路程已经足够让人身心俱疲了，可是一到演出场地，乐队和工作人员就马上就进入试音状态，忙碌得连和lulu说话的时间都没有。DATS的设备连接和调试起来明显比一般以吉他为主旋律的乐队要耗时得多，虽然时间紧迫，他们也还是按时开始了演出。



现场灯光昏暗迷幻，与他们冷科技感的音乐完美地配合着，一首intro瞬间把我们带进朦胧的气氛中。可能是舞台用的材料太软了，他们在上面蹦的时候，站在台下的我能明显感觉到舞台都在晃，甚至连伊原电脑都被晃掉下过，staff几度帮他把电脑捡起来。



大井非常喜欢边打鼓边观察台下的观众，在昏暗的灯光下我和他四目相对了好几次，最后我被看得不好意思盯着他打鼓了。不过，不要因为大井的美貌忽略了他的实力，他可真的是少见的个人风格如此鲜明的年轻鼓手。现场观众不多，但他们的演出丝毫不含糊，认真且有力地给歌迷带来了不可思议的现场。在演奏mobile前，杉本mc说这是他们第一次来中国，也是第一在海外演出，他们非常开心，然后让大家跟着他一起拍手打节奏，演出气氛被推向高潮。



Drums session是非常出乎意外的观众互动。伊原抬着Tom走到杉本前面，大井也从后面走到前面，录了几段节奏。然后伊原跨过音响箱，想从舞台边缘跳下来，重心不稳差点摔，我和小伙伴吓一跳赶快扶了一下他，好在台上还有staff在抬着Tom。在台下摆好Tom，Drums session算是正式开始了，然后杉本也从台上跳下来，把鼓棒塞给了我们这些有点害羞的观众，一起敲Tom，红色的灯光让整个livehouse都high了起来。再后来就是Remix版的Candy girl了。听到一半，就发生大概一辈子都很难再遇到第二次的电视剧剧情，作为歌迷，除了心疼也就只剩非常心疼了。即使如此，他们也没有露出不高兴的表情。看着他们还有说有笑，和男歌迷握手自拍，在楼下跟大井挥手，大井比了个耶，超可爱！后来杉本说，遇到这种事情也只是运气不好而已，没有什么。他们还真的是一群乐观的大男孩呢。



结束之后，我和我的小伙伴决定到后门等他们。他们出来的时候我们都没反应过来，但大井很热情地主动向我们挥手打招呼。他们一点架子也没有，气氛轻松得像和普通的男孩子聊天说笑。早川和大井看到我手上拿着演DATS出宣传海报，惊呼すけ，还问我从哪里拿的，其实我是从livehouse门口私下来的。其中一小伙伴站在伊原对面，伊原看了她一眼，然后笑着伸出手来跟她握手。我跟大井说我很喜欢他打鼓，他很开心。聊了几句之后，我拿出了一直以防偶遇乐手而随身携带的油性笔给他们签名，大井拿到我的cd，看我没拆，就礼貌地问我能不能拆掉包装。传递签名笔的时候，大井不小心把笔弄掉地了，他马上说ごめん，然后双手把笔拿起来。等所有人都签完之后，他竟然还记得笔是我的，让伊原还给我。杉本问我们是不是这里的人都习惯这么热的天气，我们马上摇头说不是，我们对于这样的温度也是十分崩溃的啊。看他们流了好多汗，我向他们递上纸巾，他们没明白是要做什么，我也不知道怎么用英文说擦汗，就尴尬地做了个动作，全体长音哦，然后释然地笑了起来。小伙伴给大井看手机里他那张叼着玫瑰的模特照，夸他好看，大井一看害羞得哇哇大叫，还试图伸手挡住手机，不好意思地笑着说nonono，但是没用，小伙伴绕过他的手故意把手机晃到他面前，大家笑成一团。



拍完照之后，我问大井能不能给个拥抱，他上前来给了个紧紧的拥抱，一点都不敷衍哦！小伙伴抱了四个人。伊原是第一个，她问能抱一下你吗 ，然后有点小幅度地张开了手 ，他开心地说yes yes，然后主动上去地紧紧抱住了她。接着每个人都给了她拥抱。分别前，伊原说了不止一次hope to see you again next time！我们心满意足地互相挥手告别。接着，我倒回livehouse去取键盘架，再出来的时候DATS和staff们正好在等车，他们疑惑地看着我的键盘架，于是我和他们解释了一遍，他们对我说了谢谢。DATS坐上车后，主动和还没有打到车的我们挥手告别。后来他们在微博上专门写了不会忘记我们这些等待他们的人，现在回想起来和成员们在livehouse外昏暗橘黄的灯光下超近距离地聊天还是觉得心里甜滋滋的，像一场梦，却又那么地真实。我永远不会忘记这么特殊的一次经历，期待他们下次再来。


最后，感谢lulu酱的信任，感谢贝贝，简生，八糟和meii提供的细节素材和文章的语言修改。

English Version

“I wanna see you smile on me…” The melody of Amazon echoed in my head after I watched DATS’ gig in Guangzhou. That gig dramatically enhanced my love for DATS. 11th October 2017 was a hot and humid day. I went to work early in the morning as usual and found that DATS were waiting for departure in the airport at the same time. Suddenly I receive a message from Lulu. He asked me to borrow an X keyboard stand because SD livehouse could not offer so many stands. I felt excited because this was the first I could involved in the gig preparation of a band I love.

I was so excited so that I slipped away from office 1 hour earlier than usual in order to bought GZ specialty and dim sum and borrowed the stand on time for DATS. However, due to traffic jam, which is quite common in GZ, they arrived about 2 hours behind schedule. After a 12-hour journey from Tokyo to Guangzhou, they should be very tired. But they started working immediately when they arrived the venue. For such a band, equipment testing should be more complicated and time-consuming than a traditional band. Altough time was limited, the gig started on time.

Stage lighting was quite dim, but fitted well with the intro. The stage is not stable enough, takuya's laptop fell down from the chair more than once and was picked up by one of the staff. Although there were not many audiences, DATS still did their best to warm up the audience. Before playing Mobile, Sugimoto said that it was the first time they came to Guangzhou, and it was also the first time they performed oversea, so they felt excited. He wanted everyone clap hands with him, and then Mobile started. The interaction with audiences was fantastic and unexpected. It surprised us when Takuya jumped from the edge of stage with a heavy Floor Tom. Drums session started with red lighting. And then, Sugimoto also jumped from the stage to hand over drum sticks to audiences. We took the sticks and struck on the Floor Tom with Takuya and Sugimoto. I could see smiles on everyone’s face.

Kazuya is my favorite drummer in the world! He likes to make eye contact with audiences while playing drums. Nobody can escape from his charm. I promised I received stares from Kazuya, which even made me too shy to look into his eyes! He’s not only a pretty boy but also a outstanding drummer with remarkable skills and his own style.

After the remix edition of Candy girl, the gig was stopped by force majeure. None of band members reveal his dissatisfaction. My friends and I made apologies to Sugimoto, but he just treated the accident as bad luck rather than tragedy. They always look at the bright side. I got strength from their smiles.

After gig, we waited outside for DATS. Kazuya greeted to us initiatively when they came out from livehouse. One of us stood in front of Takuya. He gave his hand to her initiatively and smiled like a kid. We started a long conversation in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. And they agreed to sign for us. Kazuya was a man with good manners. When he took my cd, he asked me kindly whether he could take the package off for me. When they signed for us, Kazuya dropped my pen by accident. He said ごめん immediately and picked it up with both hands. When finished signing, Kazuya also remembered to return my pen. We talked about weather in GZ, it was too hot for them. Sugimoto was wondering if people live here have already got used to this climate. We said no, and explained how the weather uses to be. After taking photos, Takuya said 'hope to see you next time' more than once and I promise we will meet again! In the end, Kazuya gave me a tight hug which made me happy for couples of days.

Guangzhou gig was such a tough task for DATS. On the stage, they are super stars. Out of stage, they are energetic,kind, funny and real. They posed a weibo to say thank you and that they will never forget us. So lucky to be a fan of DATS. It's worth doing anything for them. I will never forget their kindness.


Many thanks for Lulu’s trust on me, I will never turn you down. Thanks to Beibei, Jiansheng, Bazao and Meii.
