"Don't think, feel" - why I enjoy every show

BABYMETAL blew my mind when I finally saw them perform for the first time in Taiwan back in 2023. Since then, I've been lucky enough to see them several times (always in Japan), and each show has been memorable for different reasons. But burnout is always possible even for the best of things, and I've seen some fans talk about various aspects that are understandably disappointing, from less than ideal setlist, to not getting barrier, to the crowd not being hyped enough... the list of reasons can be endless if you want it to be. When they announced a return to Taiwan for the first time in 2 years, I of course immediately went for VIP without hesitation, but in the back of my mind, I did wonder if I'd feel that same sense of magic. I already knew what the setlist would be (more or less). I knew what to expect overall, particularly since the venue was the same as 2023. Would it still be a show I'd remember for the rest of my life like the first time I saw them, or would it...
