Today was one of the days that I've been waiting for since last year. It's the day of The Arcane Salon Online Party Night with Even of Day (DAY6). It's been a full whole year plus since my last offline concert, and I was hoping that this could provide some 'simulation' feeling of the offline concert because it's Day6! I've watched online concerts before during this pandemic, but well, I miss Day6 a lot so this online party is like....the cure..for every disease in my heart. Although it was only the three of them because Jae and Sungjin are still on a break.

So I was waiting for the party, and prepared my My Day watch, and opened the VLIVE, find a good position and while waiting, the VLIVE showed some Day6 music videos before the actual show. It already feels nostalgic, because they mainly showed the MVs from the Every Day6 project in 2017, and that era was the savior of my 2017 actually. What a nice beginning.
And then the online party started. Started with my favorite song of their latest album, 'Landed', and to 'Time of our life'. I also love that they played 'How to Love' and 'Habits' and Dowoon sang a lot. Like, what great touch to great songs. And then, I knew it, the mid of the party setlist is intended to make you cry, I knew it! I MEAN. In the third part, it was from 'When you love someone', to 'I would' and then 'Hurt road', wow..well prepared 👏👏👏
It was a sweet, touching, and joyful experience, though you can't really compare it with an offline concert, but what can you do in this life with the virus floating around.
And until the encore, it was fun and happy, and they sang the 'last' song, which was 'Thanks to'. And then....at the end of it...it was the time for the fan event, My Days sang their part (recorded) in the last chorus of 'Thanks to', WHILE THE TV IN THE BACKGROUND PLAYED THE FOOTAGE FROM THEIR CONCERT, GIVING THEIR LAST GREETING ON THE STAGE, WITH 5 OF THEM. THIS CONCERT FOOTAGE IS JUST......UGH
What do you want me to do here? cry? crying out loud for the fact that I hate corona and the state of the world, and the fact that I can't live a normal life, and having normal wishes? ---sorry I..ugh alright
You know what? Concerts and traveling were the hopes that helped me get through the day, the week, and the year. Every year, those are the things that give the strength to daily life, like 'let's work hard now, and we'll enjoy the concert the next month!' or 'I'll get through it, and then we'll travel to -somewhere-'.
Now that those hopes can't even really be wished for because of the state of the world, our beloved world, it's just getting into me. It's like I'm in a state of feeling the hopelessness of something that I can't control but it takes a huge part in my life.
So, it was just complicated. The online party was indeed fun, and comforting, and exciting, but somehow also really mellow and just...yeah. It's almost like a realization, 'when will we be able to attend concert normally and just live normally?'
It is almost like I am regretting myself for taking everything for granted before. It's funny when I remember I thought 'Well, I can see them next year too!' after the Day6 concert. And I thought 'I really enjoy taking a bus to work, well it's everyday thingy' while taking a bus to work. And I thought 'well next time we can picnic again here and eat chicken!' and many more. Just living a daily life was actually such a blessing to us. Who would've thought we can't even go to minimarket comfortably now?
Oh, so many thoughts for the online party after effect.
Anyway, on the side note, I hope it won't be long until Day6 comeback with an album with five of them. 😃and then corona ends, and the day where we all can jump and sing together in a concert hall will come. And we can go picnic and then traveling around and then eat at a pretty cafe, and then...well...
