Smile for you - colourful smiley faces and lights here! reminds me of some smiley face stickers that i have.. haha
Finale (Junno) - his dance choreography here impressed me. and he managed to sing the song perfectly from start to end! hontoni sugoi!
Step by Step (Nakamaru) - The lighted costumes were really cool! And the choreography during the lights play was very cute! It kinda had a domino effect to it but it was done really well. And his singing has definitely improved.
Dangerous Cat (Koki) - A teasing perforrmance. Well the song is teasing after all :D I think he made his dance steps more flowy to make them simulate a girls, lots of hips swinging and swaying. (Gomen, I didn't really pay much attention to this song cos the song's always made me laugh.. heh)
Zutto (Kame) - really really pretty. like really. all the lasers pointing to the roof of the dome, simulating a sky full of stars (except that they're coloured) and just really pretty. And his singing... *melts*. haha :P I know usually people look forward to his performances cos he does so many amazing things in them, but I thought the simplicity of this one really suited the song. At least for me, he managed to make me feel like he was bringing me into the world that he was singing in. And really, everyone was just standing and listening to him. To be able to make an entire audience do that, isn't it amazing? He added in a small rain of fireworks in the middle of the song too. And the ending had him flying/twisting up and then down again with paper sprinkles falling down around him... really really pretty. And obviously, you can tell how much I like this guy :P
Red light (Ueda) - The english lyrics made more sense than i expected them to, though i cant really make out his english at times. He looked cool though. I actually enjoyed the performance, and I think the song sounds good too. Rock-ish kinda song (my favourite kind :D ), gets addictive after a while. I actually liked the inclusion of the video clips from his drama at the start, it set the mood for the song.
Firstly, the boys sing awesome live. It's like, perfect. Like what you'd hear from their cds. They were definitely singing live. And I was blown away by how much these guys have really improved in their singing, cos I remember not being very impressed with Taguchi and Maru's solo performances in the previous concert dvds that I watched. I used to think they were often out of breath and not very strong/solid when they have to pull their notes, but now, both guys had heavy dance steps in their solos and they still managed to pull everything off wonderfully, and they sound a lot more sure and confident with their singing now. It was really nice to listen to. Plus you get so much more of Ueda and Koki especially! More ad-libs/ harmonisation from Taguchi too :) And Kame's voice is so much clearer now. Really. I love his voice. Now I can say I'm proud of his acting AND singing. Gah I think i can listen to zutto 24/7, it's that soothing to listen to.
As for their performances, I've never had any problems with that, have always loved the energy they show on stage, and they didn't fail me this time either. The effort they put into their dancing, and their flirtings and teasings is really warm to see. Tat-chan was really hyper today, running around the dome, playing around a lot and talking a lot too! I swear he's getting more and more childish the older he grows... way too cute :P Kame was winking and smiling and being all teasy quite a lot too :) Even Junno went off the stage and touched hands with the first row of fans (lucky them!) during encore. And Never X Over's solo parts are just hilarious. Oh and we got winks and cutesy faces from Nakamaru too! so cute :D Oh and I love his beatboxing. He just gets better and better every year.
I love their energy during lives. More than the singing and the dancing, that's what I look forward to. Cos seeing them putting so much effort and energy into it makes me feel really grateful to be one of their fans :) Their lives never fail to pick me up when I am down, cos seeing them smiling and enjoying themselves definitely makes you smile too, right?
MC was only partially understandable (thanks to my horrible japanese). Loads of monomane, lots of playing around with the posters, lots of giving koki a hard time. He looked really tired at the end of it. Haha poor him... But yeah, mc time seriously made me wish i could understand japanese better. Still a long long way to go...
Band and dancers, they were good, but i think they still have room for improvement. The dancers (including the juniors) weren't really synchronized at times, and I dunno, maybe cos I dance myself hence I expected a bit more from professional dancers. Especially for Nakamaru's part, if they had been more synchronised i think the lights effect would have been more impressive. The band was quite good, some of their members are kinda good-looking (heh) but i think their tempo runs away sometimes. I wouldn't fully blame them though, kat-tun's songs are hard to play and sing.
Ok, that's it for now. Will add more when I remember more. Or when I'm less sleepy. It's 3.33am here and I still have another full day of traveling tomorrow. Should seriously look for a foot massage somewhere....
