What is fascinating about Seido's performance is that all these pre-conceptions collapse and you are elevated to the world of sensations, not really of implied meanings.

Seido's stylings emulating someone "getting off" were quite direct to the point, but I did not see it as barbaric, only terrifyingly cathartic. Filipino ears are not ready for such extremes, but in my opinion it was a good in-your-face "Hey, this is what the rest of the world is doing". Good show.
