Music Bank in Tokyo - K-Pop Festival
Just got back from the concert :O
Saw HoMin, KARA, Girls Generation, 2PM, B2ST, 4Minute, U-KISS, IU, Baek Jiyoung, Secret, Rainbow, INFINITE, Park Hyunbin, RaNia and X-5.
So, you'll be annoyed to know that I have no photos. As I've explained before, it's rather illegal in Japan and I know that other people take photos, but I'm not going to risk it. There were men walking around with big "Do not take photograph" signs and the guards were standing really close to me, so... No photos.
Now then, I'm sure most of you only care about HoMin, but for my own memory I'm going to write it all down~
Prepare for boringness XD
My seat wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be. I was in the highest section, but I could have been further back and I was sort of to the side of the stage, so I really did have an awesome view. Could have been closer, of course, but I'm not complaining XD
I was hoping that I might make a fellow DBSK-fan friend or something, but no such luck OTL
My seat was one row back from the aisle and right next to the steps.
First of all two middle-aged ladies sat down next to me, then after a while realised that they were meant to be a seat over, so moved. That left me all on my lonesome OTL There were two girls sitting behind me, but no one next to me and no one in the two seats in front either - felt like such a leper XD
And then, of the 4 possible categories of people that could have ended up next to me (young girl, young boy, old woman, old man), I got an old man OTL Well, middle-aged, but that's old enough >.> And he smelt faintly of damp D: And just kept fanning himself with this thing we got in the bag... And chewing gum .__.
The two people who ended up sitting in front of me (who came in late) were two business men in suits! D: I was surrounded by middle-aged men at a fricking k-pop concert ;____;
And they were all the most boring people ever, I swear OTL I don't even know why they were there! The guy next to me didn't react to anything. He didn't clap once. The guy in front of me clapped after one Girls Generation song and got a little excited at the end, and his friend followed his lead, but that was it. For the whole. Concert. Was jdfhkyhcudgfudrgtier OTL
BUT I IGNORED THEM! AND I FANGIRLED AWAY!
But the people around were still kinda boring and I sat for the whole 3 hours .__. Because if the people behind me didn't stand up, I couldn't stand up. The two middle-aged ladies actually told the girls in front to sit down during the first act! D: Miserable lot >.<
EDIT: However, there was this dude a little bit in front who was awesome XD He was a Girls Generation fan - had a t-shirt and towel and fan and everything - but he bopped and grooved along to everything like a pro ^_^ I wanted to go sit by him instead .__.
Anyway, who cares about that, right? ^_^" On with the concert stuff...
Okay, so it started off with the lights going down and everyone screaming and switching their lightsticks on. I had 2 XD But then decided not to waste the batteries so switched one off, lol. (Good job, too - the one I left on did get rather dim D:). There were apparently a lot of Girls Generation fans and fans of people who's colour is blue (no idea who O.o B2ST?) because the hall was mainly red and pink with bits of blue, so it looked purple overall :3 I saw some green lightsticks which is odd, coz SHINee wasn't there, lol XP There were also white ones for 2PM and yellow ones for too-far-away-to-read~
The names of the acts (there were 15 of them) flashed up on stage, and of course, everyone screamed loudest for HoMin ^_^ ♥
KARA came on first~ Now I know nothing about KARA so can't tell you what songs they sang or who did what sorry .__. I can barely remember them at all ^_^" I just know that I wasn't that impressed so... yeah, sorry :/ They sang 3 songs though, I think... Maybe 2. I really don't remember ^_^"
Two of them met this dude in the middle of the stage then, and they were to be the MCs. But they were speaking in Korean .__. Why have an MC in Korean? >.< One of the girls spoke Japanese a bit, but the dude... :/ And they had subtitles up on the screens but it was too far to read properly >.< So most of the time they were talking I was just like tra la la~
Next up was Infinite, and they were really good ^_^ They could dance well and such :D They popped up on the protudey bit of the stage, whereas KARA had been on the main stage :) They didn't sing as much, I don't think, which is a shame, coz I quite liked them... Couldn't for the life of me tell you what they sang though, coz I've never heard them before XD /is a fail k-pop fan.
EDIT: They sang "Before the Dawn" XD And I have heard that song before... In fact, I think I've even watched the MV... Goodness me, I'm even more faily than I thought OTL I was trying to figure out what they were saying ^_^" It sounded like "Before the gun", but I knew that wasn't right, and later I thought it might be "Before the sun", and it wasn't until the end that I heard it properly and remembered that they had a song called that OTL But apparently I forgot again...
I think they MCd in Korean a bit more then .__. I'll just skip those bits, coz I never knew what they were on about anyway XD
Rainbow was third, who I was interested to see since there was an article about them in The Guardian (British newspaper) before, but they weren't much cop to be honest :/ I thought they'd at least wear different coloured outfits since they're apparently each named after a colour, but no D: All white... (A lot of people wore white actually O.o). So yeah, they did their thing and I was like "won't be looking you up, sorry..."
Then was U-KISS, who I enjoyed muchly ^_^ I don't know what they sang, but it wasn't Round and Round, which is the only song of theirs I actually recognise ^_^" Omg why do I fail so bad? OTL They only sang two songs, but their dancing was really good and they were just good in general :D Yay U-KISS ^_^
It was either 4Minute or IU then... Um... I really don't remember .__. U-KISS did another song after someone, but it wasn't after IU, but it wasn't that long after they'd sung, but I thought IU was sooner than 4Minute... Um...
Okay, well, just know that U-KISS did another song, and I'm going to talk about IU first XD
So! IU came on, right? And she was meh :/ I mean, she wasn't bad, of course, but her voice wasn't anything special in my opinion :/ She did two songs and they were both meh~
Then Baek Jiyoung came on and she was awesome ^_^ She sang a slow song at first and seemed very into it, but obviously it was in Korean so I didn't quite get the sentiments ^_^" But then she started speaking in Japanese and she was really funny XD She looked at her hand as though she'd written memos and stuff :3 I liked her ^_^ Then she sang what I'm guessing was the theme from IRIS whilst they had clips from the show playing. Everyone screamed when TOP's picture was shown, lol XP
Then IU came back for another song and I was like meh :/
Then we'll say that 4Minute were on, because I really honestly don't remember the order ^_^" They were good~ I thought there was only 4 of them, since 4 is in the name, so I got confused when there were 5 on stage, lol XD Never heard anything they've done before, so can't tell you what they sang sorry ^_^" But I think I'm gonna look them up, because they were enjoyable :3
Then would have been 2PM, I think... OTL My memory... So yeah, let's say it was 2PM. Though some people may not like them, I can't deny that they put on a good show! ^_^ They sang a song that I don't know (it might be new?) then Take Off and then 10 LP 10. Hah, see, I know some songs! XD They danced all over the stage~ ^_^ On the main bit, on the protudey end bit, and they were the first to use those cart trolley things that go around the stadium~ That was cool XD And then they got off when they met in the middle and got on this small stage that looked like a drum, which then started rising up~ When they finished, I dunno where they went O.o Out a back way, I guess, since they didn't go back to the stage...
Actually, thinking about it, I swear 2PM were before that, but whatever, it doesn't matter XD
I do believe that RaNia were on then~ On the main stage. They were unnecessesarily sexy >:| I say that because their voices were actually really really good ^_^ They only sang one song, but I very much enjoyed it. They didn't need to be sexy because they were already awesome :3 They had really cool sparkly tops on XD And their dancing was quite good too~ :3 I wanted them to sing more than one song :( Still, tis someone else to look up~! ^_^
Next was X-5 and they also only sang one song but were also really really good XDD Their dancing was amazing ^_^ They were on the protrudey bit :3 I liked them muchly and will be looking them up too ^_^ One of the guys was soooo pretty *o*
Then I got very confused .__. It's because those darn MCs were speaking Korean again and I couldn't read the subtitles >.> Well, that's not entirely true. HyunA from 4Minute and Chansung from 2PM swaped out to be the MCs for that very small section, and Chansung was speaking in Japanese, but it was still hard to hear what he was saying :/
In any case, there was suddenly people popping up in the protrudey bit and so began a duet by a girl and guy I didn't recognise. They also had some back-up dancers, but I don't know if they were singers or not O.o Twas a fun song ^_^ The end was really good XD They stood on the lift thing that took people up and down from the protrudey bit and the guy gripped the girl's chin and everyone screamed and it was like they were going to kiss - but obviously we knew they weren't. Then everything went dark but their silhouette was on the screen with a red background. They held the pose for a few seconds, but as they started going down into the stage they started laughing XD It was really cute ^_^ ♥
Um... I think that all happened then, anyway ^_^" It may have actually been after the next two bands I'm going to mention... Whatever XP It happened, so...
Then we had Secret! ^_^ Yay Secret! ^_^ ♥ They started off with "Madonna", which sounds less like "My tonga tonga" now that I know what they're saying XD Their dancing and singing was still cool~ :3 Their next song might be new, because I'm not sure I'd heard it before O.o And sadly, I think they only did two songs D: But still, I was happy to see them again!! ^_^
B2ST was next and everyone screamed very happily XD Because, dude, B2ST! ^_^ They were the only ones to use the top of the steps that were on the stage - usually they parted and people walked through the middle, but B2ST were on top of them, coz they're cool like that BD And they sang Fiction ;A; Omg it was beautiful ♥ And everyone joined in with the "Fiction, fission and fish~" (lol jk, I totally sang the right words) and then I sang "only told in fiction" with Yoseob and felt very close to him, even if I was very far away ;A; ♥ It was lovely~ ^_^ Then they did Shock XD Soooo fun~! Obviously everyone shouted "Shock" and "Oh oh oh" and "back back back" because really, how could we not? XD Apart from the grumpy old men around me who did nothing, but I really wasn't caring about them, so~ They moved down to the protrudey bit too~ Seriously, B2ST do an awesome live! ^_^ Their singing is still so wonderful and their dancing is really good too :D Their last song... was... omg I know this... BEAUTIFUL! Yes, it was Beautiful XD And beautiful it was~ ^_^ Lololol. Nice and lively to finish off their set ^_^ They got lots of cheers and whatnot XD ♥ With good reason :3
And then the MCs said some more stuff and I heard "Tohoshinki" and could make out 女性時代 and 東方神起 on the screen subtitles and every body screamed and then I got confused again OTL
So, these people - girls/women - appeared on stage, right? And there were quite a few of them, so I just assumed they were Girls Generation. But when they showed their faces, I didn't recognise any of them O.o And they only sang one song which I didn't know and then they disappeared and I still have no idea who they were O____O I'm guessing it was a collab between some of the girl bands, but I've no idea who :/ They were kinda meh~
EDIT: Apparently it was a mix of KARA and Rainbow :3 No wonder I thought it was meh ^_^" I now vaguely remember seeing their names in the subtitles... Maybe the guy + girl duet were after Secret and B2ST... Well whatever, it doesn't really matter XD
Then Girls Generation came onstage, lol XP On the protrudey bit. People screamed. I'm not a huge fan, so I was calm~ Their first song, I didn't know ^_^" Their second was "Gee" which I don't like because I still think it was stolen from G-Dragon .__. (Seriously, listen to his solo, "The Leaders"!!!) And then they did Run Devil Run, which I do quite like, so I bopped along to that a little. I still clapped after everything though, coz I'm nice like that XD
Edit: So apparently "Gee" came out first and G-Dragon was actually making fun of Girls Generation in that one bit... :/ Well. Now I don't know what to think...
And then. Then. Oh yes, you know what's coming. Lol, coming. I wish.
TOHOSHINKIIIIIIII!!!!!! ^_________^
And the hall suddenly got a lot redder (I switched my other lightstick on) and everyone screamed sooooo loud XDDD
People were on the main stage dancing and Maximum's start came on and it was like OMG YAAAAAY. And then Yunho popped up in this white and black checkered suit and it was like OMGOMGOMG YAAAAAAAAAAAAY and there was a lot of screaming and fangirling because HOMG YUNHO XDDDD ♥♥♥ He sang his bit and it was beautiful and then Changmin popped up - also in a black and white checkered suit - and there was more screaming ^_^ Oh my God he was so cute! XD He looked at the camera and flicked his fringe with his fingers and just KYAAAAAAAH!!! Then Yunho came back and they danced and sang together and I had to try really hard to stop myself peeing with excitement XD SO. AMAZING.
Just a quick, slightly more detailed description of their clothes~ Yunho's jacket was only done up over the stomach with one button, and you could see his chest and flashes of just-above-waistband tummy ^¬^ Then later the suit jacket opened and we could see that he was wearing a white waistcoat beneath~ Changmin's suit jacket was longer (like, just passed his bum) and he was wearing a white shirt with a black tie :)
They finished Maximum and may have spoken a little, but I don't think they said much~
Then the music for Why? started and again, there was more screaming. It was so epical ;A; I actually cried. Seriously. Just... seeing HoMin there and hearing them sing and FRICKING SEEING THEM THERE... And I'm a crybaby anyway, so ^_^"
They did actually speak properly then and walked down to the protrudey but, but I couldn't really hear what they were saying D: Yunho asked if we were having fun but Changmin was speaking really quietly ;_____; I think he said something wrong and Yunho teased him - maybe about their new single? I think maybe Changmin said it was out next month when it's actually out next week, but I have no idea .__. Sorry...
*sees something on Twitter* Oh yes! And Yunho bent backwards during Maximum (I think) and it was soooo hot O.O Yunho in general is hot, really~ Butche. Yunho. Bending. We know he bends in more ways than one ;)
OKAY, PERVY TIME OVER, BACK TO THE ACCOUNT! XD
Yuh, so then they sang Rising Sun and I thought I might cry again because HOLY SHIZZ HOMIN WERE SINGING RISING SUN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. But I did not~ I don't know if that's a good thing... Quite like crying O.o When Changmin started singing Junsu's part, it honestly sounded like Junsu :O It was wonderful ^_^ And then when Yunho did Jaejoong's part, my little YunJae heart fluttered~ ^_^" They do it really well together :) It must bring back so many memories... Oh oh oh! And in the bit where Yunho (because obviously Junsu and Jaejoong weren't there) went "Somebody talks" he looked sooo hot O.O Again. And seductive >:D Oh Yunho... ♥ Must... not... perv... He did the... ugh, they have a name and I can't remember it >.< It's some kind of splits, but it's not really the splits. It's when your one leg is out straight in front of you and the other is bent to the side and back instead of being straight out behind you... Anyway, Yunho did them :3 And it made me perv. DEAR GOD YUNHO WHAT DO YOU DO TO ME!? D:
And then... That was it ;A;
Yunho and Changmin walked back up to the main stage and everyone else joined them (there were a looooot of people) and they all said thank you (I assume) and sang a song about bouncing that was familiar, but not familiar enough for me to really know it, as they walked around the different bits of the stage and waved at people. I think some members from RaNia and maybe 2PM or B2ST (there were far away, it was hard to see >.< May have been someone else entirely) got on one of the trolley things and HoMin and some of Girls Generation got on the other and they both went all the way around the arena~ When HoMin passed underneath me I stood up and shouted on my own like a loner but I was rather high up and they didn't look up or anything~ But I still waved as they continued their journey ^_^ People were already leaving and I was like "Pah, like hell I'm gonna miss a second of HoMin! >.<" Crazy peoples~
And then it really was over ;_______;
And I'm sure no one cares about my journey home, which wasn't particularly interesting though the way to the train station and the train was packed and has nothing to do with k-pop, so I'll stop this - NO WAIT I WON'T!
AHAHAHA, FOOLED YOU XD And myself OTL
So yeah, HoMin and some of Girls Generation were bowing to everyone at the end (they stayed til the very end ♥ Everyone else had left) and I noticed that Min was wearing a black glove! :O On his injured hand! :O Then I realised that I could see his thumb and it wasn't a glove at all, but a black bandage/cast >.< I noticed it because when Yunho held his hand to bow, Changmin didn't clench Yunho's hand D: Presumabley because he couldn't >.< Poor Min ;_____; I hope it's okay...
AND NOW IT'S THE END! ^_^ Thank you for reading and sorry for the ramble and my lack of knowledge and my failing memory and whatnot. Also sorry for not taking pictures/photographs, but I'm a wimp and other people have taken them anyway and were likely closer to the action than I was, so please enjoy them :3 ♥
Until next time~ ^_^ There won't be a next time coz I'm going home in a month *sob* Will definitely have to come back to Japan >:D
P.S. Omg can I not shut up? Seeing HoMin perform made me determined to watch DBSK perform as 5 >:| It will happen again one day. And I will watch it >:| And so will you >:|
Saw HoMin, KARA, Girls Generation, 2PM, B2ST, 4Minute, U-KISS, IU, Baek Jiyoung, Secret, Rainbow, INFINITE, Park Hyunbin, RaNia and X-5.
So, you'll be annoyed to know that I have no photos. As I've explained before, it's rather illegal in Japan and I know that other people take photos, but I'm not going to risk it. There were men walking around with big "Do not take photograph" signs and the guards were standing really close to me, so... No photos.
Now then, I'm sure most of you only care about HoMin, but for my own memory I'm going to write it all down~

I'm not a huge fan, so I was calm~ Their first song, I didn't know ^_^" Their second was "Gee" which I don't like because I still think it was stolen from G-Dragon .__. (Seriously, listen to his solo, "The Leaders"!!!) And then they did Run Devil Run, which I do quite like, so I bopped along to that a little. I still clapped after everything though, coz I'm nice like that XD
Edit: So apparently "Gee" came out first and G-Dragon was actually making fun of Girls Generation in that one bit... :/ Well. Now I don't know what to think...
And then. Then. Oh yes, you know what's coming. Lol, coming. I wish.
TOHOSHINKIIIIIIII!!!!!! ^_________^
And the hall suddenly got a lot redder (I switched my other lightstick on) and everyone screamed sooooo loud XDDD
People were on the main stage dancing and Maximum's start came on and it was like OMG YAAAAAY. And then Yunho popped up in this white and black checkered suit and it was like OMGOMGOMG YAAAAAAAAAAAAY and there was a lot of screaming and fangirling because HOMG YUNHO XDDDD ♥♥♥ He sang his bit and it was beautiful and then Changmin popped up - also in a black and white checkered suit - and there was more screaming ^_^ Oh my God he was so cute! XD He looked at the camera and flicked his fringe with his fingers and just KYAAAAAAAH!!! Then Yunho came back and they danced and sang together and I had to try really hard to stop myself peeing with excitement XD SO. AMAZING.
Just a quick, slightly more detailed description of their clothes~ Yunho's jacket was only done up over the stomach with one button, and you could see his chest and flashes of just-above-waistband tummy ^¬^ Then later the suit jacket opened and we could see that he was wearing a white waistcoat beneath~ Changmin's suit jacket was longer (like, just passed his bum) and he was wearing a white shirt with a black tie :)
They finished Maximum and may have spoken a little, but I don't think they said much~
Then the music for Why? started and again, there was more screaming. It was so epical ;A; I actually cried. Seriously. Just... seeing HoMin there and hearing them sing and FRICKING SEEING THEM THERE... And I'm a crybaby anyway, so ^_^"
They did actually speak properly then and walked down to the protrudey but, but I couldn't really hear what they were saying D: Yunho asked if we were having fun but Changmin was speaking really quietly ;_____; I think he said something wrong and Yunho teased him - maybe about their new single? I think maybe Changmin said it was out next month when it's actually out next week, but I have no idea .__. Sorry...
*sees something on Twitter* Oh yes! And Yunho bent backwards during Maximum (I think) and it was soooo hot O.O Yunho in general is hot, really~ Butche. Yunho. Bending. We know he bends in more ways than one ;)
OKAY, PERVY TIME OVER, BACK TO THE ACCOUNT! XD
Yuh, so then they sang Rising Sun and I thought I might cry again because HOLY SHIZZ HOMIN WERE SINGING RISING SUN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. But I did not~ I don't know if that's a good thing... Quite like crying O.o When Changmin started singing Junsu's part, it honestly sounded like Junsu :O It was wonderful ^_^ And then when Yunho did Jaejoong's part, my little YunJae heart fluttered~ ^_^" They do it really well together :) It must bring back so many memories... Oh oh oh! And in the bit where Yunho (because obviously Junsu and Jaejoong weren't there) went "Somebody talks" he looked sooo hot O.O Again. And seductive >:D Oh Yunho... ♥ Must... not... perv... He did the... ugh, they have a name and I can't remember it >.< It's some kind of splits, but it's not really the splits. It's when your one leg is out straight in front of you and the other is bent to the side and back instead of being straight out behind you... Anyway, Yunho did them :3 And it made me perv. DEAR GOD YUNHO WHAT DO YOU DO TO ME!? D:
And then... That was it ;A;
Yunho and Changmin walked back up to the main stage and everyone else joined them (there were a looooot of people) and they all said thank you (I assume) and sang a song about bouncing that was familiar, but not familiar enough for me to really know it, as they walked around the different bits of the stage and waved at people. I think some members from RaNia and maybe 2PM or B2ST (there were far away, it was hard to see >.< May have been someone else entirely) got on one of the trolley things and HoMin and some of Girls Generation got on the other and they both went all the way around the arena~ When HoMin passed underneath me I stood up and shouted on my own like a loner but I was rather high up and they didn't look up or anything~ But I still waved as they continued their journey ^_^ People were already leaving and I was like "Pah, like hell I'm gonna miss a second of HoMin! >.<" Crazy peoples~
And then it really was over ;_______;
And I'm sure no one cares about my journey home, which wasn't particularly interesting though the way to the train station and the train was packed and has nothing to do with k-pop, so I'll stop this - NO WAIT I WON'T!
AHAHAHA, FOOLED YOU XD And myself OTL
So yeah, HoMin and some of Girls Generation were bowing to everyone at the end (they stayed til the very end ♥ Everyone else had left) and I noticed that Min was wearing a black glove! :O On his injured hand! :O Then I realised that I could see his thumb and it wasn't a glove at all, but a black bandage/cast >.< I noticed it because when Yunho held his hand to bow, Changmin didn't clench Yunho's hand D: Presumabley because he couldn't >.< Poor Min ;_____; I hope it's okay...
AND NOW IT'S THE END! ^_^ Thank you for reading and sorry for the ramble and my lack of knowledge and my failing memory and whatnot. Also sorry for not taking pictures/photographs, but I'm a wimp and other people have taken them anyway and were likely closer to the action than I was, so please enjoy them :3 ♥
Until next time~ ^_^ There won't be a next time coz I'm going home in a month *sob* Will definitely have to come back to Japan >:D
P.S. Omg can I not shut up? Seeing HoMin perform made me determined to watch DBSK perform as 5 >:| It will happen again one day. And I will watch it >:| And so will you >:|
