The night of Feburary 23rd, 2001, After Little
Star (the guy who did the report), had drank and ate enought, he brought
his secret weapon- a new camera with 3 roles of film rushed to the door
of the school. (sweating)
Entering the performing area
right at 8 oclock, by then there were a hundred or so fans already, originaly
thought that the show will start at 8, but turns out it starts at 8:30,
so Little Star went around to familarize himself and look for good camera
angles.
At 8:15, the fan's in the
arena started to yell out 'Silver Ash' in an organized fashion, hoping
they would appear on stage more quickly. This lasted until 8:35, by this
time, smokes from dry ice had already covered the stage with white puffy
smoke. The CO2 was making everyone haveing difficulty in breathing, it
was said that people are most easily excited under half suffication, in
the mist of white clouds, Silver Ash walked on stage, excitment immediatly
shot out from the crowds.
Little Star was a bit calmer,
first checking out each member's costume and makeup. I first noticed bassist
Hong,(sorry, because I like him the most) his clothing is different from
last time, last time his appearence was lighter, hair was red. This time,
the makeup was heavy, very alluring, his hari was orange, 10 tiny pony
tails drapped down from the black feather decoration on top of his head,
5 braid on each side, the eye shadows looked like Mana's, he had lavender
red color on upper lip and lavendar blue on the bottom. Clothing wise,
it wasn't much different from last time, except this time he added a cute
ribbon around his waist, regretabily, Hong always sticks by the rule of
not revealing his legs, this time, he still wears the long black skirt
that coverd his feet.
Lucy's appearence was very
cute. Reddish hair, braided into two pony tails using white lace, not too
heavy makeup on hsi face, used light pink lip stick, looking like a little
girl, unbelievably cute, but his clothing this time is the sexiest, it
was so different that I could not recognize it immediatly.
Nancy's apparence was also
pretty. Just loved his long whitle lace and feather head decoration, white
mascarea on his eye lashes (not sure) his eyes shoned brigthly throughout
the performance.
Ling and Zheng didn't change
much, Ling's hair had a deeper color, and some hightlights. It looked better
than last time's completely pink hair, wearing a very sexy low cut mesh
leather clothing, very alluring. Zheng I can't see too clearly, because
he was constantly sitting. His face's makeup still uses black gray primary,
he wore what appears to be a side opened long coat, inside looked like
a black short shorts (short shorts?) Eh, it is super stylish.
Not long after the live started,
Little Star had scucessfuly mixed into near the stage, so I can take pictures
at close range with the SA's members, just makes me so excited.
I clearly remembered during
the break, all the members did a solo. Lucy was the first, his guitar solo
was very good, good thing comes in small packages, it is very admirable
that Lucy could play such good guitar at such a young age. After Lucy's
enthusiastic guitar solo, Hong, very gracefuly crossed his legs on the
stool and performed an elegant bass solo, next came Zheng's heart pounding
drum solo, cute Nancy ran next to Zheng to hit the cymbal for him.
This time, the most unforgetable
scene was the close partnership between Ling and Hong, no wonder Hong is
the biggest, really supper cool, even when Ling was embracing him, he could
still play the bass to the dot without any expression on his face >o
Between every song, Hong always
twirled the braids on his shoulder and chest, super alluring.
The sound effect was lot better
than last time, all the equipments were prepared ahead of time, so everyone
just needed to test their sound before they began. The whole music sound
was satisfactory, so eventhough it was rowdy at the arena, but one can
still enjoy Silver Ash's unsusal song's attraction. But because Little
Star can't recognzie the song's names, I can't give a detail report of
each of SA's song's uniquness, so I regret this very much. But the one
that made the most imppression on me during the last live performance,
the first song -- Shu Yun(drift apart, become estranged), this time was
played during the middle of the show, because this time the sound system
was lot better, so hearing this song once again gave me a totaly different
sensation, it is a very well done song.
Silver Ash's stage demenor
had matured a lot since the last live, even thought there are still some
amaturish, but it is easy to see they are a band that have great potentials,
from the songs, performances, appearences and so on, all testfies to SA's
hardwork, hope they can walk a path of their own in China, waiting for
Silver Ash to bring more surprises for everyone.
