It seriously feels like it's been ages since I actually bought the ticket, and like me and kiri have been waiting forever for the concert to happen, but finally it was time \X3/ I still remember when I bought the ticket, I had only really just started talking to kiri, and pretty much bought it with the attitude of, well, since I'm going to be there, why not? I didn't even particularly like the album that much, but in the end I ended up having a really great time. That's mostly thanks to kiri, since she's been trying to get me to like kismai more and more since we started hanging out, and I guess it's worked XD
So, we had tickets for the first show of the 28th. We met up in Shibuya station at around 10 and rode the rest of the way to the venue together. When we got there, we got some food and then headed over to Yokohama Arena. My impression of arena was that it was not what I thought it would look like on the outside, since it pretty much just looks like an office building XD Thankfully, kiri had gone to the show the day before, and had done the goods like so that I didn't have to, the line was really long when we got there. I ended up getting the penlight (even though it's really stupid XD), the shirt, kityama photo set and group clear file. Then, we went to the seven eleven and got some water, then lined up to get out tickets. This time was j-ticket international again, and the seats were really good!! We ended up with arena seats really close to the center stage!!! I made a diagram XD [diagram XD] (white is stage, red is audience area, purple star is us XD)
Basically, where that girl is standing is where the center stage was:
By the time we got to our seats, we only had about a half hour until the show was going to start. I made a keigo kid uchiwa, and then kiri made me put kitayama on the other side, so we could "pretend I was there for them" XD But in the end, I think it turned out quite nice :3
Kiri had bought the Tama uchiwa, so she had that, and then both of us brought fumi uchiwas, just in case he showed up XD I had already been planning to bring my fumi one, because on the other side is my Masuda Ryo uchiwa, and since he was also backing, and I already had an uchiwa made for him, why not \XD/ (in the end, I'm really glad I brought it X3). Anyway, before we knew it, the lights went down and it was time to start the show!! I honestly had no idea what to expect, and it was my first time in the arena, so it was a bit like, OMG WHERE DO I LOOK XD Kiri had gone the night before with this guy who also had gotten them off j-ticket international, and they were also in the arena, so she already had a handle on what to expect.
Anyway, to start with, they came out on the top of the structure on the main stage in these terrible terrible outfits and skates. Like ponchos that had giant letters on the back that spelled out kis my ft2, but omg, they were terrible and I wish they'd burn them after this concert is over DX To start with, they sang Kis My Calling, which was so much fun to do the member call!! They skated down the the bottom of the stage, and in the end lined up with the giant letters facing us. Next was Everybody Go! here they still had the terrible ponchos on, but took off the giant lettering, and skated around the arena, and I'm pretty sure that when tama when down and up the ramp, he tripped a little on his jacket, and made a DX kind of face XD Being in the arena is so disorienting, because it's like you're contantly spinning around trying to look for people, and then suddenly there's someone right next to you XD Eventually, by the end of the song, they ended up in the center stage, and finally stripped off their terrible ponchos. It was like, they were stripping and quickly putting on other jackets RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and it was just like gijrughewagheraihg
Then, after successfully changing, they went into WANNA BEEEE!!! full dance and everything, and they were right there and it was just *______* Like, dvd quality XD I couldn't stop watching Kitayama, he's so tiny in real life, especially compared to the others, and he was dancing, and his face when he was dancing is just so cute /X3\ Next was Ai no Beat, which was cool, because they were still in the center stage, doing the dance (which is still really amusing XD), but the stage was rotating. There were times when I was like, whyyyyyy because it was hard to see Kitayama /DX\ But the dance was fun, and with the stage rotating, it looked really cool! Next was Shake it Up, and here they moved away from the center stage, and think this is where the juniors came out. I remember kiri was like "THERE'S KEIGO KID!" and point him out to me XD She did this throughout most of the concert X3 I know they were all running around, but I was really distracted by Casey Anderson, who was on the side stage closest to us, and him doing the shake it up dance was so very amusing XD As with at the ebi con, he was really enthusiastic and fun to watch. Then by the end, all of kismai too positions on the outside of the stage, to sing We never give up, I know tama was on the side stage closest to us, and kitayama was at the back area, because I remember I was facing one way and kiri the complete opposite way XD I couldn't help it, I had to watch kitayama and keigo kid's backs XD After all they were right next to each other and dancing \X3/ I think in the center aisle stage like that was literally next to us, might have been yokoo and nikaido? I wasn't really paying attention though XD
By the end of the song, they ended up at the main stage, and in the end only Kityama and Fujigaya were left on stage, and they were raised up on platforms, and sang Smile by themselves, while the others changed, then I think halfway through the song everyone came out and finished off the song, while Kitayama and Fujigaya went to go change. Oh! but then by the end of the song, they were all on stage, and then something really quite cool happened. Fujigaya was in the center, with a light up jacket thing, mostly his hands were all lit up, and the other members where on the screens, while they were rotating around (they even went upside down), and the screens kind of reminded me of like the time vortex in doctor who, just more red and fire-y instead of space XD But, fujigaya was basically just in the center controlling them all, i think XD It's really hard to describe, but live it looked really cool!! (but I doubt it will really transfer that well to DVD, even seeing the news clips of it was not as impressive as it was in person). Anyway, eventually all the members came down to the floor and the center, and it next up was Black & White. This performance was so cool *_______* LIke, the dance is really cool, and the lighting and everything just looked amazing *_____* Their outfits looked really cool, I know the main three were in one outfit and the back four in another, I just forget what group was black and which group was white XD But this is one performance I'm excited to see again, it was seriously awesome!!!
Next, there was a little bit of a break, and I think there was a video playing, and next up was Fujigaya's solo xLunaSx. His outfit was looked cool until he turned around, it reminded me of like a wedding veil pasted to his butt. I was like, ok XD Honestly, I don't remember much, other than I was disappointed by the lack of keigo kid (at the start, kiri was like, "there's no keigo kid in this" XD), but I ended up watching Casey Anderson, because his dancing is seriously distracting XD I know by the end, he was lifted up in center thingy XD (descriptive, I know XD). I know Kiri was all hnnnnnng about the performance, and from the parts where I wasn't distracted by casey anderson, I was like, "oh, valerie is going to die watching this" XD I don't know, I'm easily distracted by other things, and admittedly not a huge fujigaya fan XD;;;; After his solo was Forza! I was actually quite excited about this solo, because I really like song (especially since kiri sings it every time at karaoke), and I knew Kiri was super excited about it, so her excitedness rubbed off XD But it was lots of fun!! Tama came out by himself at first, on the main stage, on the middle level, and was surrounded by mirrors, and was basically just looking at himself XD The other four also came out also on the middle level, and I think with mirrors behind them. Tama's outfit was silver and super sparkly and sleeveless XD Other than that I can't really remember what they did, there was probably a dance though XD
Next was Strawberry Dance. It started with Fujigaya and Kitayama on the side stage areas, and Fujigaya did the 5 star pose with the juniors!!!! Keigo Kid was in Tottsu's place (yes, I noticed that XD). Honestly, that song is really stupid and kind of boring, but it was here that KEIGO KID WAVED AT ME!!!!!! Since Fujigaya and the juniors were on our side, and Keigo kid was right there, Kiri was like "WAVE YOUR UCHIWA AT HIM!!!) So I did, and he saw it, somehow and smiled and waved!!!!!! it was seriously so cute \X3/ and then kiri was like "HE NOTICED YOU!!" XD Other than that, I couldn't tell you what else happened, because seriously, that song is really dumb >.>
Anyway, next was Kiss your mind, which is such a fun song!! I really enjoy that song a lot XD They performed this on the main stage, and started with their heads all piled up XD (of course my first thought was fumi XD since he did that at their concert XD) dance and all. It might have just been me, but it seemed like Fujigaya really emphasized the "HI" at the beginning of his part XD At this point it was time for the MC, so we all sat down. Then they went down the line and were like, "such and such member is doing this activity so check it out" I know when it was Fujigaya's turn, and he was talking about Kamen Teacher, kitayama was like, "oh yeah, tsuka-chan is also in that" and fujigaya was like, "what? no." and then proceeded to list every other person in the drama XD
Then they had the postcards that you would get if you bought a ticket for the bbj movie, and kitayama was all like "sorry nika, but you know who looks the coolest: Hasshi" and then yokoo came over and was looking over his shoulder at the postcards, and I think the two of them were whispering to each other, and then they introduced Hasshi as the guest!!! Hasshi ran out in the VIP area, so like the upper area, and said hi to everyone. Ahhhh he was so cute X3 He said that Tsuka-chan was supposed to come with him, but then said he was too busy to show up. He said that tsuka-chan's been like that ever since he got his drama role, acting all important, and then fujigaya was like "yeah, but he finished all his shooting in two days" XD And I think they were saying how tsuka-chan didn't even read anything other part of the script except his own XD Then Kitayama wished hasshi a happy hatachi, and then hasshi started singing this song (apparently XD), and Kitayama laughed at him, but then also sang it too XD Then Hasshi was talking about this year's abc za, like how it's about johnny's sempai and stuff and then whatever he was trying to say, I have no idea what it was, and apparently neither did kismai, because then Kitayama was all like, "WTF are you saying?! XD" and then Hasshi was like "Even though I'm 20, my japanese is still bad" XD XD (I was actually quite proud of myself, since I could actually understand most of what they were saying, and confirmed it with kiri later X3) Anyway, then Kitayama was like, "oh did you come with someone else?" and then Hokuto came out, and there was a lot of kyaa~ing, and both me and kiri were like "ah, whyyy :/" I honestly have no idea what they talked about, because I was busy watching hasshi being adorable in the background XD I know that hokuto and tama were doing something, that they probably do on the set of pintokona, and then Hasshi grabbed the mic and called Nika out on that, and nika started calling him "hiro" and it was really cute. Then kitayama was like "did you come with somebody else?" and for a brief moment I thought it might be watanabe, but alas, hasshi was like "no, only us two came to watch" and they left.
Next was the busaiko part of the show, the theme was a proposal and then cool kiss. Honestly, at this point I can't remember what any of them said, other than that when it was Kitayama's turn, his was going well until the end when he went to kiss the mannequin and then the wig fell off and everyone was like "STOP STOP! That's bad!!" and kitayama was all like, "bikkurishita~" XD Then when miyata when, his whole premise was to have his girlfriend close her eyes, while he put the ring on her finger, only he put it on the right hand instead of the left, and realized his mistake too late, and even he was like, that was bad. Then for fujigaya's he ran up to the mannequin, but then when he went to hug her, the wig fell off again, and everyone was like HAAAAAA and laughed at him XD then because yasui wanted to see it to the end, he did it again, but switched it up a little, so that he didn't start out by running at her. keigo kid was also doing the ranking with yasui, and just he's really cute, ok \X3/ I think the final ranking was something like: 1. Tama 2. Fujigaya 3. Yokoo 4. Senga 5.Kityama 6.Nikaido 7. Miyata
Next they sang the new song for Tama's drama, Kimi to Kiseki. My main thoughts on the song was that the move with their hands on the ground, is just as stupid, if not more so, in person that it was on the various tv shows. But I like the song, so it was nice XD Next was the junior medley with kismai singing with them. I think they mostly sang smap songs, and it was fun, they were all running around, I think they sang shake, and at the end, they ended up in a group at the back area right behind us. I know they were all dancing in the center and were all really close and it was awesome.
Next, all of kismai were in the center stage, and they sang My Resistance. I really love this song, and I think it's really pretty. For this song, they became like a layered cake, with tama at the top by himself, kitayama and fujigaya on the next layer, and then the rest on the bottom, while they all rotated around. The lighting was really pretty, and I know Kiri was really happy, because Tama XD Then when they all came down on the same level again, Inori started, and the intro was really pretty, and I just remember Kitayama was on the side closer to us and just \X3/ I know they did the dance, and I just couldn't stop watching Kitayama, when I could see him, because I feel like the entire time someone was blocking him, like at first it was fujigaya, and then senga at the end and I was like, shove out the way >.> But i love his face when he dances X3 Next was Fire Beat, and just fgndgteruigjierwnfrewngohnewognfewagnre THEY WERE SO CLOSE AND DOING THE DANCE AND KITAYAMA WAS MOSTLY ON OUR SIDE AND AND AND FDGWDGUFHDWIGFNWDOGREUHGRDGJEAWGNIRAEG (yeah, kiri heard me flailing him, and won't let me hear the end of it >.>) There was fire, and it looked cool, and he looked cool and just /DX\ By the end they ended up on the main stage, and sang tell me why. I love this song, so was excited that they sang it!! I know Kitayama sang a little bit at the beginning before disappearing to change for his solo. It was basically on the middle level of the main stage.
Next was Kitayama's solo, Give me... he started off by himself dancing, and it looked really cool, and he somehow looked really tiny, even by himself. AND THEN KEIGO KID CAME OUT AND JOINED HIM AND WAS BASICALLY RIGHT BEHIND HIM THE ENTIRE TIME GKJDUTGBWDGDNGEANGRNGLKDGJADB It made it easy to watch because it wasn't like they were on complete opposite sides X3 ahhhhhhhh they both looked really cool and the dance was really cool!!! Then he disappeared and a vtr played that I'm just going to chose to ignore, and he came back with a huge fake bouquet of flowers and was asking the audience who wanted them, and then he ended up shooting flower petals at the one side of the audience. then he started walking around and was like patting all the little kids heads. Then he spotted this mom with a tiny little good, who was wearing a miyata shirt, but the mom had a kitayama uchiwa, and the little girl was balling her eyes out, and kitayama kept trying to get her to stop, but she was having none of it, and kept clinging to her mom. he even gave her the rose off his jacket, but she basically was like NO XD I actually didn't really like the song that much the first time I listened through the album, but now it's been on repeat for like two days straight >.>
Then it was time for the back four's song, Chance Chance Baybee. I don't remember most of what they did, mostly because keigo kid and the rest of the juniors were there too, so obviously I was watching them more. I think that they disappeared and came back in skated and the four of them had like a car outfit on and were skating around like that. I remember because Keigo kid and the rest had to jump off to the side so avoid getting run over XD Then I think the others came out, also in skates, maybe it was here where the main three showed up one by one at the top of the main stage, and then skated down to the middle, rode around the platforms for a while then skated down (except kitayama, who rode the platform down, and I was like, why are you doing that with skates on? that doesn't look safe") Then they all skated/danced on the main stage, while singing Catch Love. This might have also been where their skates were lighting up different colors (After seeing that live, I still think it looks retarded u_u).
Then they put jacket on, that the outlines lit up, and both the jackets and skates were light up red, and then they skated around the arena while singing Unmei Girl. That song is lots of fun!! And at the end they skated up the middle stage, where there were mini ramps, and I remember Kitayama, after jumping the second one, I think he might have almost wiped out, because he turned around and looked at the ramp while like mumbling something, I think XD I saw his lips moving, and he was kind of laughing XD Then they went to the center stage, and then the main three were in the center thing, and the back four on the outside, and they all got lifted up, and then I think it was here where kitayama told us to turn our penlights off, then he was like "sei no" and he all turned our penlights on, and it was all red. Then sei no: white. Then sei no: "rainbow" (as he called it XD). Then he was like, ok we'll do this during the song too! And then he was like ok ready? sei no: red, and then he was like one more time, sei no: white, and then their outfits lit up and they were all white, and he was like "see we all match!" I think this was during Mother Moon, but I'm fuzzy now XD I know that during the song Tama was being retarded trying to get his mic strap around his hand, me and kiri were laughing about it. Also, when he went to go stand up, he was being retarded XD XD Also we changed our penlights a couple of times during the song.
Then they sang wakamonotachi, and they were still all raised up on the platforms, but then the main three's thing started tilting side to side. I was like, why are you guys doing this with skated on DX Then they came down, and then basically they just skated around, and the juniors ran around. The next song was JET!SET!!GO!!!. It was probably during this song that Tama waved at kiri XD It was really cute, pretty much the whole concert, every time Tama was close we both would start yelling and waving at him, but it was towards the end when he actually waved at her. It was really cute, because Kiri turned to me and was like :O And i was like 'HE WAVED AT YOU!!!" and then she death gripped hugged me, she was so excited X3 Oh! And then I saw Masuda Ryo coming my way, so I quickly changed my uchiwa to his, and then when he came closer he was just waving at people, so I waved my uchiwa at him, and I think at first he just saw me waving, and then he noticed my uchiwa, and it was so cute because I could actually see him suddenly recognize his name and the surprised look on his face, and they with a big smile he started waving at me, so I got really happy and started jumping up and down and waved more at him, and then he kind of laughed and waved some more before continuing down the center aisle stage X3 AHHHHHH It made me really happy because I could tell he was genuinely happy when he waved and it was just so cute!!!! X3 Even kiri thought it was super cute!! Like, after the last song before the encores, she was like, "Masuda Ryo was so cute!!!!!" X3 The next song was SHE! HER! HER! and that was the final song, they ended I think at the top of the main stage or maybe the middle of the main stage.
Then we started the encore call, and me and kiri freaked out about tama waving at her and just flailed over the concert in general. Then They came out again, and sang the song from fujigaya's drama: Luv Sick. I actually quite like this song, and kiri was happy and kept being like "TAMA RAPPING jghdhetwhgerjgirehgierjgd" XD Then they ended with like all their arms in the middle intertwined kind of, and that went into Catch & Go!! The back four sang it by themselves, while the main three made their way up to the second floor. And where we were seated, we were literally right night to where the carts went, literally I could practically touch all their feet from where I was. The first two to come by us were Senga and Yokoo, and both me and kiri were just "HI!!!" *wave* Seriously, they were so close *________* then they ran around on the outside some, and started singing S.O.S., and this is where the main three appeared on the top level. Then the back four switched and this time Nikaido and Miyata came back us, but the other way. And I think Nikaido paused infront of us for a beat and were just like NIKAAAAAA!!!! Then when Miyata came by us, he was facing the other direction the entire time, and I think was the only one who didn't see us XD But he was being cute and making dorky faces at everyone XD
Then they started singing senen no love song, And probably the main three were still riding around up top still. It's all kind of a blur and just spinning around trying to find people. but I know for sure when the keigo kid was coming up the middle aisle stage I waved my uchiwa at him again, and he waved at me (this was like probably the third time he did. he was probably thinking "this girl again" XD) but he was just so cute, and had his doofy smile on his face and I guess even kiri was waving at him, and he was even like "ORE" and pointed at himself and just SO CUTE gjrguewjufghteijwgbeuiwgbaewlgjrekwb Then it was time for member introductions and then they left the stage again. And again we called for an encore, and then HASSHI CAME OUT WITH THEM gjdgudgklndskgbwdfgkdjgjdwsbgds They sang tension together, and they all had skates on, except hasshi XD Him and Nika were like racing down the center, except since nika had skates on, hasshi had to run to keep up with him X3 He basically ran right past us, and then went to the other side. But is was cute, he high fived miyata, and then they were doing that otaku dance thing, and then hasshi pretended to punch him X3 it was all so cute. Then the song ended and hasshi ran off, and kismai came to the center and said goodbye one more time, and that was it.
Overall, the concert was so much fun!!!!! And I know it really is all thanks to kiri, because her feels are so contagious, and since she's been trynig to get me to like them more, I really enjoyed myself. I was actually sad I only wen to one concert (especially since fumi showed up at the next show ;A; I keep missing him by one freaking day or show *cries forever*). But seriously, Keigo Kid is adorable, and I left having actual bias feels for Kitayama DX Oh! We caught some streamers too!!! X3 I think we saw cameras there, so hopefully they were shooting a dvd!!! That would be cool! X3
It was so funny though because throughout the entire concert, kiri kept being like "TAMA!" and i kept being like "I'm not watching him, because KITAYAMA!" like the ENTIRE time XD I feel like we were probably watching two different concerts XD
