4U Crea!!!
So the last thing me and Rebecca did together before she left to go back, was see 4U.'s crea!! We went to the evening show on the 7th!!! Before the show, we were taking a picture of the poster of all of them on the outside, when this girl came up to us and was like, "can I take a picture?" and we thought she wanted us to get out of the way so she could take a picture of the poster, but really she wanted a picture of us with the poster XD I guess it was because both of us had the 4U. sides of our bags on the outside, and we're foreigners, which must have been weird for us to like 4U. IDK XD We were talking to her, and she asked us who we like, Rebecca was like "Fukuda!" and the girl was like "ME TOO!!" and they had a moment XD She asked us where we were sitting, then told us that they come up and give high fives to people :3 Then she and I high fived XD
Since it was SUPER windy and cold, we parted ways and went inside to see where our seats were. We were disappointed to find that there was no 4U.-specific goods to buy, like a clear file. It's like, is our money not good enough to waste on 4U. goods? >.> We were sitting in row 19 (out of 22) but even then, the theater is legit tiny, that it really was't a bad seat at all :O
We still had 30 minutes before the show was set to start, so we decided to look at the papa pics each other had bought earlier in the day. We finally had gotten around to buying enbujou papa pics, after going 2 or 3 times >.> I kept leaving with twinkle twinkle papas >.< Somehow I ended up with a lot of iwamoto. As the show got closer, we kept wondering if there would be a guest for the show, and where they would put them. On the upper right hand side, there was like balcony seats, and some guy sat down in them. I literally was thinking to myself, "ah, some white dude is up there" and then Rebecca was like, "isn't that Toma?" and it was XD XD
Then, the fans started chanting "4U." 5 minutes or so before the start of the show. Then the lights dimmed, and the white screen had the silhouettes of four giant people (like, the shadows took up most of the screen), and they started singing a cappella, when all of the sudden, three smaller silhouettes came up and were like "matte matte" and it was apparently staff, and then they were like, "wait, where's matsu?" and he like "koko!" because he was on of the staff XD Then, they were talking a bit, then told the staff to go away, then they lined up again, and tats was like "staff, go away" to matsu, and he started to walk away and then was like, "no wait!" XD Then they started singing a cappella again, but then Fukuda walked in a way that made it seem like he was tinier then everyone else, and tatsu was like "Chisai?!" or something, and then Fukuda started pretending like he was kicking everyone and everyone played along XD Then he ran up so that he was much larger then everyone else, and started stomping on them XD Then, they lined up again and started singing a cappella again, when then screen started to come down, and they were like "chotto!! staffu! staffu!" and were acting as if they were in a room that was about to get crushed XD Then all together they lifted it up so they wouldn't get crushed XD Then they were like, "well, that's it right? let's end this" and everyone was like "Eeeeehhh?!" and then tatsu was like, "that eh was chisai" so we all were like "EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!" louder, and tatsu thanked us, then they started singing a cappella again, and then seriously went into singing Dear Woman. They were wearing these like jean outfits. Like jean pants and jean jackets. I remember being like, why? for a good part of the show as to their outfit choice :/ The main thing I remember is Tatsu's pants were like 3/4 length, and I was like, "as expected of tatsu" Also, Kosshi's jacket had a bunch of stars on it. Matsu's shirt was really sparkly, and he even pointed that out himself during the MC
Then the next song they went into was Happiness, which made me so freaking HAPPY since that is basically the song that got me into johnny's in the first place, and it's just such a fun song!!! I can't remember if it was here that they came to the middle section and sang a bit or what, but they did at some point really early on in the concert, and I remember Tatsu was RIGHT THERE and he was just SO FREAKING PRETTY IN REAL LIFE, I can't even. I was also REALLY surprised at how pretty Kosshi was in real life. LIke, it was distracting how pretty he was. Fukuda was making faces that really reminded me of Tottsu, which is something I always make fun of Rebecca for, because she always insists she doesn't have a type XD (plus they look really similar too). and Matsu was adorable in person, and super energetic.
Next they did a little dance break, and my reaction was "Wow, they can REALLY dance *____*" and then did self introductions, and I was thrown off when they got to Tatsu and was like, "everyone say TATSUMI" like, doesn't everyone just call him Tatsu? XD The they grabbed their microphone stand and did Oh/PGF like they did at the takitsuba tour. Their mic stands had like scarfs tied to them in their proper colors, and it was pretty. Then they did their final pose and started introducing themselves, like "bokutachi wa, 4U.~dessssssu" "sugoi tanoshi wa 4U. dessssssu" and kept going, XD Then they did takitsuba's yamanote song, but changed the lyric to "shibuya, harajuku, yoyogi, shinjuku, GINZA!" then halfway through the song, they went into the audience and grabbed a person each to bring on stage, and Matsu grabbed Fukuda's dad XD It was really cute, when Fukuda realized who mats had grabbed, he just started laughing XD Everyone else just grabbed someone who was their fan. Then they asked each person to name their favorite eki and wrote it on the white board. I forget what the first girl said, but Fukuda's dad, at first introduced himself as Matsuzaki XD and Fukuda was like, "YOU'RE MY DAD XD STOP SCREWING AROUND" then listed Roppongi as his favorite eki, and everyone was like OoOoOoOoO Then the next girl, I don't think was japanese, so named Tatsu, so tatsu wrote that on the board, and made his second kanji look like a snack. I forget what the last girl named, but tatsu wrote the second kanji in it like fumi's kawa, then made a face and erased it to write the correct kanji, but it made me really happy X3 Then they finished the song, all i know, is that they formed a train with everyone on the stage, and after Matsu got fukuda's dad to participate, matsu made a face like :D
Then it was time for Matsu's solo, and when Matsu disappeared they were all like "3U desu~" then all of them introduced it, and left their shoes on the stage (and Tatsu made a point to point out that his socks were yellow X3). Then Matsu came out and smelled all the shoes, and then did his mime stuff, and tried picking them up, but couldn't. It was actually really cool to watch!! Then as he was trying to lift the last pair, 3U came out and were like, knock it off, and took their shoes back. I forget who, but one of them brought out a suitcase and mats continued with his mime stuff. At some point he set it down and started pulling stuff out of it. I couldn't tell what the first thing was, only that before Matsu could do anything, Kosshi came out and stole it back from him. Next he grabbed a water bottle out of the suit case, and Fukuda came out and was like "ore no...desu" super low tense, then started squirting matsu with it A LOT. Then Matsu was like "COME ON" and Kosshi and Fukuda brought out a sign that had Shock 2000 performances or whatever on it, And he started doing stuff like going down an escalator, or like pretending he could stretch his arm the length of the sign, etc etc. Then Kosshi and Fukuda also got involved, then I know at some point they all ended up looking for tatsu, and were like "Tatsumi, Touch me" and pretended to jump into the cavern behind the sign, and before each of them jumped it was like Fukuda: Tatsumi! Kosshi: "Touch me!" Matsu: Tatsumi! And then they stood up and were like, "Tatsumi, doko?" and were wandering around and somehow ended up calling him Takumi XD Then the like enbujou music started playing and Tatsu walked out being like "Takumi ja nai yo" and whacked them all with his fan XD
Next they did a talk segment where it was like word games where tatsu was the judge, and would give them mats depending on how interesting their response was. They all had robes on in proper colors :3 All I know is that after the first one, Matsu lost his mat XD Koshi worked Tatsu into his response and got a mat, then Matsu tried to do the same and really failed XD Then the second segment was like with a dictionary, where tatsu would give a phrase and they would open up to a random page and pick a word out. All I know is that Kosshi went and Fukuda looked at the page and perm was there, and Tatsu thought it was hilarious and gave him like 5 mats, and Fukuda was having a hard time staying on them and kept rocking back and forth, it was really cute!! He also couldn't stop laughing (I was getting punched a lot by Rebecca at this point XD). Then they all made Tatsu go, and I forget what it was, but when looking for a word, everyone was like "how cute" and his response was so amusing that everyone gave him their mats XD and when he was trying to sit on it, he was having a really hard time, and had to use the little table in front of him to balance. XD Then they did a second round, and Tatsu was moving them along faster so he could get rid of mats XD Then when it got to matsu, Tatsu was like 'give him all the mats!!" and the girl who was on stage to help out, got too excited and threw the mats she had at matsu, and ended up hitting him in the face XD
Next they went back to singing, and sang Love Chase!!! I really enjoyed this because it was nice being able to see them do the dance without the awful shokura zooms X3 Next was Tatsu's solo, he started off singing a cappella, then went into some song, I forget what it's actually called, but I think it's an older song. It was more of a rock song, and he used his mic stand and just walked back and forth on the stage and was making faces at the crowd X3 Then 4U came back and sang some other older song, which I totally have heard but do not know the name to. Then they sang sora no screen, which was so much fun!!! I think it was during this song, that tatsu randomly grabbed a tatsu fan from the first row and made her bounce around on stage with them X3
Then it was the MC time, and they spent most of the time talking to Toma, for a bit toma didn't have a mic and was shouting at them, it was kind of cute X3 They talked about play zone, and I think the time when Toma and Fukuda used to do photoshoots together. Then 4U talked amongst themselves, and honestly the thing that stands out most was Matsu doing his impression of the Genie from Aladdin which then lead them all to start singing that one song from Aladdin, like the marketplace song. At first I was like, "wait I know this song, OH it's from aladdin!!! XD" since it was the japanese version. I swear Tatsu would have sang the whole thing if they hadn't stopped him X3
Then after the MC it was Kosshi's solo, and while he was introducing it he was like, "I'm going to sing Love Chase......ja nakute" because he was really singing loveless XD His face was priceless and everyone was like, "WAIT?! what are you singing?!" and started running around the stage, being like, what? XD Then they went into loveless, the dance was really pretty, it was kosshi with tatsu and matsu backing him. Next was Fukuda's solo and he sang Kinki Kid's flower, which was nice, I don't thing he sang enough though, he did a lot of talking throughout, he also had the rest of them backing him, and it was really cute, and by the end all of 4U were singing it. Then they went into this kinki kids song, that I really like, but I can't remember the name of it. But it was cool!! The dance, again, was super awesome!!!
Then they did this part where matsu was DJ and would play random songs and the rest of them would have to do the dance for it. It was all sempai songs that they've back danced for. The first one was Lucky Man, which was super energetic. They also did a bunch of takitsuba, and even the juliette song, and the whole time Tatsu kept shouting "yarachi!" X3 It was also the only song I really noticed Matsu doing the full dance to from his high perch XD They also did a slow song, which involved them rocking back and forth. And every time it sounded like it was going to end, Matsu would start it over, and 4U would go back to the starting position. Also Kosshi totally slipped during one of the songs and Fukuda laughed at him XD They also did a song from shock, since apparently many of the female dancers were in the audience when we went. Then by the end, matsu came down, and they danced a little to a koichi song, then mats went back up and was fanning himself with the records.
Then it was time for the last spurt, and tatsu was like, "we're going to sing a ballad, try not to cry" and then they started singing troublemaker XD then they sang crazy rainbow, which was fun and energetic!! They were running all around the stage, and disappearing and popping out from somewhere else. Kosshi did a backflip, tatsu did a spin thing, and at some point they had us do a wave. Then that was the end of the show. And we all started chanting "4U." again and they came out from the middle section, so they were really close again. And they sang Oh again, but this time the whole song. And then that was really the end of the show.
I have to say, the one thing I wish was that it was just a little bit longer and they had actually sang just a little bit more. But other then that, I had so much, and I honestly can't believe I got to see them, and so close!!! I know at some point they came up the aisles and Fukuda came to our side, and even came within a couple of rows of us, and I kept trying to get rebecca to move closer to the edge or wave her uchiwa so he'd notice and give her a high five, but she refused >.> she said she was happy enough just seeing him so close. If Tatsu had come to our side, I would have freaked and tried to get a high five. Tatsu was being ridiculous, especially towards the end. He kept like wiping his sweat with people's towels, and like high fiving people, and hugging people. It was seriously adorable X3 Of course, though with my luck, he kept going to right hand side, and we were on the left hand side, so I really only got to see him directly in front of me once. But really I have no complaints, because Kosshi was super pretty to look at *_______*
