AdamKadmon, ButaOtome(豚乙女) and IRON ATTACK! (September 16th)
... Read that subheading again.... That was an epic show!It was AdamKadmon's first live ever apparently, I really loved their singer, Tama-chan, even if she was a little shy on stage, her voice was great.
ButaOtome was really awesome. Ranko is so great live. So much energy, so much presence. I still wish they had a drummer instead of pre-recorded drums though.
And Onee-chan is as weird as always (a band member in a bunny outfit who only goes around and doesn't sing or play any instruments)
IRON ATTACK! was as good as usual, The show was great overall and they played most of my favorite songs.
Of course this show was a while ago so I don't remember much more, so that's why this review was a little short!
Anisong Domination (november 9th)
This live was pretty nice, it was all about anime song arrages/covers.
Some bands were doing only songs from a specific anime, for example, there was a Fire Bomber (Macross 7) cover band, who played only songs performed by the Fire Bomber in Macross 7, some did covers from a single artist, covering many anime.
I was there because of Absolute Area, an old, and discontinued(i think) band made by some of the members of IRON ATTACK! (CHINO and まいなすいょん). They did Metal arrange of popular anime songs.
First up were A-Project, made up from members of JAM Project. It was kinda messy, they forgot a lot of lyrics, and who was supposed to sing which part, but it was still enjoyable. One of their singer looked pretty damn cool!
You can listen to one of their song here:
Second were Fancy times, a cover band of Yukari Tamura. It was pretty cute.
Third was Fire Soul Bird, the Fire Bomber cover band, It was pretty awesome. Macross 7 songs are really nice, and this band performed well.
Their guitarist is one of IRON-CHINO's friend, and we watched them together.

After that came Absolute Area, It didn't disappoint, they were great as usual(usual=IRON ATTACK! since I never actually saw them as Absolute Area before).
I was expecting them just to redo the songs from their old albums, since they are not an active circle anymore, but they actually did new songs, one of them being a metal arrange of NO, Thank You!, this song if one of my favourite, and this arrange was godly. I really wish I could get a copy of it to listen at home.
まいなすいょん was pretty cute with that outfit!
After this I went outside Absolute Area's part, I went outside the stage area, to the place where they served drinks, I met CHINO there, and he introduced me to his band members.
After that there was a Gintama cover band, I dot remember their name, and I've never watched Gintama, so it wasn't so interesting... the music isn't that great either.
And finally there was a ふたりはブリキ屋, a Precure cover band. I also never watched Precure, but the music was pretty nice (I think it was metal arranges though, but since I don't know the original it's hard to say.) It was really fun, and their costumes were really nice! I was in the back at that point though so I couldn't get really good pictures.
At the end they did a song with almost all singers from every band from that evening, it was also pretty nice
Flowering Night 2013 (November 16th)
Usually Flowering Night is around may, in spring, when... flowers are flowering, but whatever, I was still happy they did it, even if it was really late!
Flowering Night is a Touhou only Doujin music Live event. I went last year too, you can see the post about it here flowering-night-2012
This year the event was a little smaller (only 1 day) and the bands were a little less interesting for me (Kimino-Museum was not there). But it was still a really nice show, and I went there with 2 friends from work. One of them is not a Touhou Fan, and the other has never been to a concert before, so for both of them this was a first, and both of them loved it.
The lineup was:
幽閉サテライト (opening act)
SOS -Sound of Swing
Unlucky Morpheus
Sound CYCLONE
回路 -kairo-
Liz Triangle
(I’m not actually completely sure of the order, but it's almost that)
幽閉サテライト were pretty nice, the songs were good, but they only did 3, and most of the instrument were pre-recorded unfortunately.
SOS were good again this year, but I wish they had cosplayed again haha!
Unlucky Morpheus was pretty damn awesome, I love their guitarist, he did some pretty nice tricks, and he plays really well.
Sound Cyclone was probably the most boring part of the evening, their music is really bland, no flavor, sounded just like regular pop-radio music. They pretty much took out whatever made Touhou music good.
回路 -kairo- Was pretty Epic, I really don't like 556t(their lead vocal)'s attitude when she's speaking, or walking or doing anything else than sing, but when she perform, she's awesome, her voice is really good, and she seem to really be out there in her own wold. (one of my friend told me he really love her false-shy attitude though, not so surprised it's "kawaii" I guess, but it gets on my nerves).
Liz Triangle was good, but not extremely good, I kinda liked the song where they made the crowd wave their towels around though.
The highlight of the evening was really Unlucky Morpheus and 回路 -kairo-
That concludes this post about Live doujin music events, and It's probably my last for... ever maybe? (or for a long time anyway).
Expect another post, completely unrelated to this, soon!
