Japan in Rewind
luring you with food XD
This is what I love about what we do:
meeting friends that have the same passion as you gives that extra special thrill.
L-R (seme): YunJae shinkansen ticket shot ; MSP Tokyo GA with Sheryl, Lalaine, Meli ; A toast for a successful dream come true
L-R (uke) : kimbuibui and the rest of the gang ; with Greda buying Tohoshinki goodies ; meeting tinseltown16 at Sendai (:
While waiting outside, this is what we do!
In Nagoya, molesting the Toho Tour buses xD
I counted (sorta), they used... 12-15 tour buses in all.
More Pictures here at My Multiply.
I'm not yet done Uploading T_T please be patient (:
As more days pass, I tend to forget things - specifics (that's just me) so might as well spill everything out now.
How would I make a fan account when I can't remember what happened anymore? attending concerts gives that spur of the moment, in euphoric naturally-drugged state of consciousness that will leave you breathless and contented after. The weather outside was extremely cold, so cold, 8 degrees raining cold. especially in Sendai. 3 layers of clothing and scarf and still my bones were biting. And people were lined up outside for the concert goods not a care.
I have nothing but high praises for Tohoshinki - they sang LIVE the whole concert, even Purple Line and Rising Sun are LIVE - and with a LIVE band. I'm totally awed speechless.
To begin, in true Japanese fashion, the concerts start on time.
And for the 3 days, we were lucky to have good seats.
Nagoya Day 1 - smack center with a wide screen view of the stage, best for viewing the performances as a whole and the light and set effects.
Nagoya Day 2 - right side of the stage. Yoochun tattoo peekaboo! So near!
Sendai Day 1 - left side of the stage. YooSu side!
thank you meli for writing the tour list down ^^
Opening - Spies
(Black coats with shade + silver fitted)
1. TRICK
2. No Pain No Gain
3. Choosey Lover
4. MENT - Introduction
5. Song for You
6. You're My Miracle
The opening video showed them in their black coats running around the outside arena, being sneaky with walkie-talkies. Very intimidating. Very kakkoi.
They were wearing the black coats until Trick only, and from No Pain to You're My Miracle in the silver sexy suits. I love Changmin's part in TRICK! The 6 months I've not seen them, I got blown away again as to how handsome they really are in person. and smiling and confident and oozing with charisma. Ravishing.
Band Interlude
(Black suit)
7. NO?!
8. Darkness Eyes
9. Purple Line
Microphone stand molestation. Black light handkerchief dance. Conveyor Belt molestation. They enjoyed playing on that walk-alator thing. and We love them in suits! with their shiny signature cross at the back. Reminds me much of HMS concert. And Purple Line LIVE! sky wa black and white, hikari to yami ga south and north, it's like Ooh!. ftw! The lighting and Set effects here are one of a kind, so pretty. Green Laser Cone and Cage!
Raining Interlude
(White casual wear)
10. Day Moon ~Harudal
11. Lovin' You
12. MENT - Making fun of Junsu + Counting
13. Forever Love
The raining video is so emo. Junsu staring outside from his room (waiting for Chunners), Chun seeking shelter inside a telephone booth eating his baguette. Jaejoong waking up from his beautiful slumber only wearing a white top. Changmin left alone at the park by his girlfriend soaking in the rain. Yunho running for shelter and comforting a puppy too. Awww.
Harudal was beautiful, even though Meli and I were singing the Korean version xD. I've never liked Lovin' You so much before, but it's actually so magnificent Live (Yah Jaejoong!). And Forever Love is forever beautiful. It feels up the senses, can't help but leave you crying. So so beautiful. Must spazz about JaeSu harmonies. They sing perfectly together and acknowledging the other countless times throughout the whole concert!
The MENT part - CHARISMA CHARISMA CHARISMA. Kim Junsu really owns my (xiah)soul. His Horror style counting is all for squeal. He is so adorable. Jaejoong's smooth-sexy counting, Yunho's Bruce Lee/Grandpa counting. and 3 times YooMin of course. Changmin's face during the Double Sexy thing. xD It's All for Fanservice! His head was hanging low from embarrassment the first day (Wtf have I done?) How much I died and fell of my seat the 3rd day. And well, Yoochun kept looking/staring/oggling at Junsu the whole Ment REALLY. He's smiling yah junsu so adorable. He even embraced Junsu in Sendai (Are there Photos!!?!).
Clap Interlude
(Gold shiny top)
14. CLAP
15. Ride On
16. Rainbow
17. Asu wa Kuru Kara
Clap interlude is so cute. YunChun dancing first, then they were joined by JaeMin and to complete, Junsu. I want this in DVD! The video is shown on the big screen on top the stage. I love that Screen especially when it shows the five of them up close!!!
They started with Clap following the rhythm from the video, doing this stomping dance (how do you call that?) and Random-Love rapping! and Junsu's raccoon tail! and Ride On pelvic thrusting to the maximum aghhhh. oh kamo come on. then they slowed down with Rainbow sitting on the stairs and my favorite Asu Wa Kuru Kara at the center ramp. Junsu angel elevated and on spotlight like he's about to cry totally into the song, with a long pause kanarazu asu wa... - where the audience can shout (I LOVE YOU KIM JUNSU!!!) as loud as they want..kuru... kara.... yah it's glorious.
Tohoshinki Dancers
(Black hanging vests)
18. Last Angel
19. MENT
20. Shine
21. High Time
22. Somebody to Love
23. Rising Sun
Holy wow this is my favorite set! <3 Starting with Last Angel I can't help but jump and dance with them. It would've been awesome if Koda Kumi was also their guest no? hehe. Their version is extremely good as well. And Shine, I love this song it's so happy happy :) High Time with Junsu pulling up his vest for a rare glimpse of that trim tummy. Yoochun's pants were hanging so low too, his torso exposed. This is the part where his tattoo can be seen. waaaah I'm dying already. and immediately followed non-stop by Somebody to Love where they invite the audience to "Jump! Jump! Jump!". It was Toho heaven for me. And the most awesome signature song Rising Sun - all 5 of them, a dream come true. 100% Yunho! 100% Tohoshinki! Complete with Pyrotechnics. This set was just exhilirating.
ENCORE
(Nagoya Day 1- White Shirts, Nagoya Day 2, Sendai - Black Shirts)
24. Summer Dream
25. Beautiful You MENT
26. Beautiful You
27. Together
28. Love in the Ice
Waahhh. Why does it have to end? Noting the hot pink, red and metallic blue shoes by Yoochun, Junsu and Yunho respectively. I was totally caught off guard when Summer Dream Nagoya first day that Yoochun was on top of Junsu during their cutie cutie dance on the floor. I thought I was just imagining, it was so fast! (I was not imagining! There are pictures! I bought the pictures 1000YEN for a set of 8 so expensive but whatever its YOOSU!) ♥ ♥ ♥ The time we watched the concerts, Beautiful You was not yet released so they were eagerly promoting the single being mindful of the release date: Shi-gatsu ni-jyu-san ~. And now that I listen to the song more it really is beautiful, You're such a beautiful Ho-Man! as Jaejoong puts it. ^^ and then Together, they're so cute copying their cartoon PV counterparts. YOOSU moment again, they have their variations for that jump too. They look at each other first, (we'll do it again, ok?). They were making fun of each other and I was already incoherent at this part. ♥ ♥
Love in the Ice as Finale. What more to ask? They sing with their hearts out, with closed eyes lovingly. The big screen shows them up close and I felt helpless and humbled and content. When they reach their high notes, I can't help but fly with them too. I promised Chun that I'll soar with him till he reached that highest note. and as they breathe it out, you'll just realize that you haven't been actually breathing regularly the whole time.
As they take their bows, you can't even shout or howl, you just clap to show how amazed you are with them. The songs and moments linger. And as Yunho played the drums (solely for Nagoya Day 1!) with Jaejoong and Changmin on the look out, Yoochun makes out with the camera, Junsu shouting Hitsumabushi Saiko, Minna-san Aishiteru. I can't remember which one happened in Nagoya or Sendai anymore. All I can say is, thank you Lord for showing me wonderful things.
Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara instrumental for the Final credits. Backstage videos of them rehearsing, resting on each others laps, laying on each others shoulders. Jaejoong No Gel! You leave the venue, smiling and happy and with the thought (I'm hungry, let's look for resto with Hitsumabushi!)
Crap, what did I miss out? D: No, wait, the question should be, Who do I miss?... I miss them 5 already D:
Meli will post a more detailed spazz account. watch out for it! Will you do it by day? I'm eager to read. Anything I forgot, I'll leave it all to you xD
