[Spazz]Fantasy Comes True!
After all the waves and waves of heat and sweat finally I'm at my final stop today! Such a mad rush back from Stadium Ecopa, Shizuoka to Aino JR Tokaido Station and then to Hamamatsu Station to take Shinkansen to Kyoto!
Ya'kno how I said watching A-nation with JYJ that one moment feels like it was worth it? Well with EXILE Fantasy tour the whole time it was all worth it fangirling by myself! I really tried making friends with the locals here but they really couldn't speak English >.< My Japanese is so no for conversation! I did hang out with 4 ladies who are in their 40's and they tried talking to me slowly with Jap+English+hand movements xD
About the concert- I really love the different themes of nature, water and fire for this tour. So interesting. The concert basically covered their current album and old hits as well so lucky me! ^^v Nonetheless KT con still has the most extravagance stage show on comparison with all the extra hard core stunts by the KT members. For EXILE there was a huge gold dragon surrounding the upper part of the main stage and have green laser eyes with fire puffing when it opened it's mouth :)) Reminded me so much of their Choo Choo train perf at 2009 CDTV with the long train as props!
Oh wow the whole stadium was so organized- from waving blue flags, to waving uchiwa to finally the stick lights and these changes occurred when the specific themes changed. Everyone seems to know what to do each time swapping of cheering items happened! Sugoi! The stage design was in round of the whole stadium and main stage as well as front stage where I was sitting facing up at the top but excellent view of the entire area- always lucky me ;))
When they did the Won't Be Long Dance on a rotating stage at the front stage that was most awesome! Together with all fans dancing to the chorus! And I cannot not mention two of my most all time EXILE perfs - Summer Time and Choo Choo Train on back to back!!!! Takahiro was spraying fans with water gun during Summer Time. As for Choo Choo Train to see live the one line of choo choo dance was just perfect and complete :"D
Listening to Atsushi live was just amazing! Coupled with Takahiro and now the 2 additional vocals (I still can't remember the new members' names haha coz I couldn't be bothered with the additional set ;;) all the ballads like have magical touch and even though they are so far away and tiny but closed your eyes and you can feel the music is just soo good! In a way I think I can understand the need to train and get additional new members. The 2 new vocalists from J-Soul are really good. Takahiro can sell since everytime he came on screen the scream was deafening! Atsushi can go solo haha! It would be such a waste though for the rest original members who really danced so well as a team! I mean realistically speaking you can sing until you are old but how long can you keep dancing? D: During the concert there was a showcase of them dancing and it was really enjoyable because at their age now to breakdance and did a variety of dances ^^
Though I gotta say how lame to have so many fireworks during perf for Fireworks :P if I am not wrong they started with Someday perf. To be honest I had so much fun I didn't even realized we were at 7pm when they started singing ballads. The concert ended at 8pm I think but I left at 7:45pm to avoid rush and crowd since I only have ticket to go back to Kyoto on final Shinkansen train otherwise I have to prepare to sleep street since really all places fully booked!
Still remember Atsushi got tongue tied saying,"Fun fan" xD Hiro san had to step in for him during the ment. Also I didn't get to try any of the food/drinks by the members coz I only went to the venue when about time to enter the stadium. Well I was following the ladies *shrugs* And man that Ecopa Stadium is so far away from the Aino JR Tokaido station! >.<
Ok gona stop now coz I'm tired haha kept fallen asleep! Tomolo is another mad rush but at 2 different airports! This has been a great fun trip. Even though alone but along the way I met many interesting people who have been kind to help me made this trip possible - feels like yest when I just arrived Osaka and couldn't find the bloody JR stations xD
This is a final report from Kyoto where I am now sleeping in a capsule ryokan haha!
