となりにキミ 見上げた空に夢
Here's the report for the 23rd~
4U came onstage again today to clear the mics but KinKi didn't talk to them this time.
They talked a bit about how there were a lot of problems yesterday but today's performance had been perfect till then (and it was perfect right all the way till the end! He didn't forget any lines XD).
Koichi talks about the 360 degree stage again and it's basically the same as the day before. He does another imitation of a fan getting an arena ticket in the A or B block and his face is more epic than ever.
K: Except then you come to the concert and all you see is my ケツ (crude way of saying butt? Like 'arse')
T: Be more polite! Call it your おしり (a more polite way of saying it)
K: And all you can see is my おケツ
T: You only added an お! (Adding an お to a word makes it a little more polite XD)
Then Koichi talks about how the're in the center of the Dome, in Japanese (中心）
T: Centerrr (in English)
K: I don't think it's really center in English (except it totally is?).
They bicker a bit, and then Tsuyoshi says "Chuushin" with a Chinese accent and Koichi cracks up, asking Tsuyoshi how many languages he knows XD
Koichi talks again about how he can't see the fans again and you think it'll be the same old thing with Tsuyoshi scolding him except -
T (in a low and "wise" voice): Oi Koichi, didn't you say, "Actually, I can see the audience" in the dressing room while drinking whiskey (or some alcoholic drink)?
Tsuyoshi says it in a kidding tone, and Koichi is all like ?!
K: ... What kind of "follow" is this?!
---
It's the 23rd, so they talked a bit about Christmas as well.
K: There aren't that many Santas around are there?
(Fans who're wearing Santa hats scream)
T: There're some...
They bicker about something I don't really remember, but eventually, it ends with Koichi saying that KinKi fans should become Santa since they have the right body shape for it anyway. (Audience ehhhhhs at him).
T (in the same "wise" tone from before): Oi Koichi, didn't you say yesterday that you like girls who're a little plump?
K: ?!
---
Miyane-san came that day! He was in red and waved and talked to them. Tsuyoshi said his clothes were flashy. I think he mentioned meeting him elsewhere once and Miyane-san was in orange too. Also, Tsuyoshi mentions that Miyane-san's image of Koichi is that he doesn't greet people so Tsuyoshi checks if Koichi greeted him properly and Miyane-san gestures a circle for yes. Then he asks if Koichi also greeted him when Miyane-san went to see SHOCK and Miyane-san starts to gesture circle but changes it to a cross at the last minute. Koichi protests XD They thank him for coming though he's busy, and apparently came right after live filming!
I didn't know that Miyane-san was actually on decent terms with KinKi o.O
---
After that, they talk about how they had dinner with Matchy at a sushi restaurant the previous night. They sat at the counter, one on each side of Matchy. Tsuyoshi complains that Koichi basically started talking to Matchy about F1 only and he couldn't join in the conversation at all.
T: Matchy-san doesn't belong to you only!
(Koichi cracks up)
K: Didn't you say something about F1 too, something about gears and stuff.
T: Yeah.. I tried, but 2-3 seconds later, I had no idea what you guys were talking about anymore.
4U was also there and according to KinKi, they were super nervous, different from their usual selves when they're eating with just KinKi.
KinKi call 4U up onto the stage and they take a while, so KinKi take the moment and complain about how different they were with Matchy around. So, when 4U finally come onstage, they bow profusely and say "お疲れ様です" repeatedly. XD
The stuff KinKi and Matchy ordered took more time to prepare than 4U's so their food came first. 4U, being juniors and terrified of Matchy, politely asked if it was okay to eat and Matchy was all cool and tells them to go ahead but Tsuyoshi was apparently evil and said: "He says so, but are you sure it's okay to eat first?"
Fuku-chan(?) said that after what Tsuyoshi said, it was so hard to eat. It was so hard to eat that he wondered if the sushi in front of him were actually food XD
It later comes out that 4U are nervous around not only Matchy (which is understandable) but also Tsubasa. And Tsuyoshi takes offense to this.
T: I don't usually care about senpai-kouhai relationships I really, don't! But we're more senior than Tsubasa!
K: This is the Matsu that once said "Hey brother!" to Higashiyama-san.
Tsuyoshi falls to his knees laughing.
Koichi clarifies that it was a joke that Matsu managed to pull off in just that moment and he' not usually like that. I think Koichi then pesters him about something, and Matsu is all polite about it at first, but then they bicker for a bit, and Matsu bursts out something impolite to Koichi. Koichi cracks up.
K: That was exactly how he ended up saying "Hey brother" to Higashiyama-san!
Matsu: I'm very sorry! I'll apologize properly backstage >_>
K: It's okay, forget it, it's so めんどくさい
Koichi is so sweet to the juniors ♡ 4U go off and KinKi talk about how noisy 4U is but how they're all good kids and we should all support PZ even if Tokyo is far from Osaka ♡
---
They then move on to talk about RUSH, and Koichi comments that Tsuyoshi's become more interested in F1 because of the movie... Tsuyoshi asks Koichi what racers eat.
K: They don't eat red meat.
T: Eh? How about chicken... Chicken's pink isn't it?
(The audience is like... ?! PINK?!)
K: Well... After it's cooked it's white isn't it? So I guess it's white meat?
T: Then what about pork? It's pink too isn't it?
K: Well... They don't eat beef. That's red meat.
It's so cute how Koichi didn't actually say that Tsuyoshi was wrong, he just gently maneuvered around the topic.
They recommend fans to watch it because it's a "human-drama" and even non-fans will be able to enjoy it. Tsuyoshi recommends people to wear a helmet to the cinemas. Somehow this leads to a conversation about how one of their common friends got pulled over by a police car because he was wearing a helmet in a normal car. Not even a sports car, a normal Honda or something XD
K: But if you think about it carefully, isn't it safer with the helmet on?!
T: That's true... but...
Koichi then says that he has contradictory feelings about asking fans to go to the movie because they'll go to listen to their voices, and they won't be able to concentrate on the movie... I love how they're so serious about their work.
Tsuyoshi repeats a bit from the day before about the dubbing stuff, and they talk about Koichi's sexy bed scene again.
K: I have a sexy scene in it.
T: Right, you have a sexy zone.
K: Sexy scene! Not sexy zone!
So he talks about it and how he'd to do it alone in the room...
T: Eh, so did you do it alone?
K: Well, with the director, I did a discussion...
But Tsuyoshi ignores the part about the discussion and pounces on the part where Koichi says "with the director"
T: EH? You did IT with the director?! WITH THE DIRECTOR?
K: ... It's not like I have an interest in men
T: You're making it sound like I do! Choose your words carefully! I'm in pink and all, it's easy to be misunderstood.
Koichi also mentions that there' a scene where James Hunt quacks, and when dubbing it he went "quack" at first. He demonstrates this and his quack is hilarious! But he was told by the director that "quack" probably wouldn't be understood as a duck by Japanese audiences so Koichi had to go "Ga-- ga--".
---
Tsuyoshi then asks Koichi about what kind of show he'd like to dub if he had the opportunity. Koichi says comedy because he thinks there's more room for expression. Tsuyoshi chooses rom com and despite the fact he told Koichi off for implying that he's gay, he proceeds to say a really stereotypical rom-com girly line in a girly way.
K:?!! Don't say things like that when you're wearing pink!
---
They move on to introducing the new song for RUSH, and Koichi says that the new song really matches the movie, except in Japanese, "match" and "Matchy" sound exactly the same.
K: The new song is a good match...
T: Did you just call Matchy without the -san?!
Koichi cracks up.
K: That's a good one! But it's a good match...
T: This is bad! Calling Matchy-san without the honorifics...
This goes on for a bit before Tsuyoshi realizes that they're running out of time and not moving along at all...
K: So, this song is a good match for... (Tsuyoshi doesn't cut in) Aren't you going to do it again?
T: Nah, we won't proceed if I do it
And that's the end of the first MC <3
At the end of the encore, they introduce everyone. This happened the day before too, and Koichi messed up their names as usual the day before, but on the 23rd...
K: And that was 4U!!!
The members of 4U run to the middle hesitantly and bow while looking confused.
K: What's wrong?
4U: Well...
K: You like it the normal way better?
4U nods and Koichi pretends to mess up their intro once and they do the fake trip, then Koichi introduces them properly again. As they run off, Koichi's like "Why would you like the wrong version better?!" :p
---
When they come out for the double encore, Koichi has a 'I don't wanna do this' funny face on. He tells the audience that we'll need to pay more, and everyone's like "okay~!". He then teases the audience some more about being selfish before saying that we can pay the extra fees in love, and it's okay to be a selfish ♡ Oh Koichi.
They talk about random things I don't remember? But the topic turns to food again and Tsuyoshi says that he can eat most food now.
K (while making a face): Even pakuchi?
T: Yep~
K: People who like pakuchi are weird!
T: Are you calling everyone here that likes pakuchi weird? Apologize to them!
Koichi protests but later gives in and says that in his world, people who like pakuchi are weird. Tsuyoshi explains that he used to hate it but he became fine with it after going to Thailand and eating it there.
T: What if your wife one day asks you to eat pakuchi and she pouts and whines at you? (and here, he does an incredibly cute pout)
K: I'll tell her in a manly way that I don't need it. Nope. Don't need it. Baboo! (Baby sound in Japanese)
T: You're gross
---
They talk about how they only sang a few songs from this album...
Audience: Sing!
KinKi Kids: We can't...
Audience: Sing! Sing!
T: Now now, this will really incur some extra fees...
K: For this?!
They claim it's impossible because they haven't practiced and neither has the band. More importantly, they don't know the songs since they've only sung some of them in recording a few times and can't even remember how they go.
---
Somewhere in this talk, Koichi praised the fans for being so in sync during Candle Night especially since it wasn't like we got instructions from the staff. Basically everyone copied 4U but Koichi was still impressed that we could do that. It was really pretty *_* Everyone's kind of all "Awww" after getting praised by Koichi, but he spoils it by asking fans to copy EVERYTHING. from choreo to Matsu's movements
---
Towards the end Koichi says that the next chance they meet the fans (in Osaka?), he'll be 35 and Tsuyoshi will probably be too. Fans are speculating that this means there might be activities in the middle of the year next year.
Koichi then asks Tsuyoshi for some general knowledge for the day but Tsuyoshi obviously hasn't thought about it so he comes up with: Miyane-san is flashy.
It's Koichi's job to end every concert apparently, so...
K: After I say arigatou gozaimashita, it'll be the end! "Don't say it, you baldie!" Wait, who're you calling a baldie?
T: ... No one's calling anybody a baldie.
(whispers) You're noisy, you baldie!
Koichi pretends to search for the person calling him a baldie.
T: I heard something...
K: I did too...
They try to end again.
K: A-----------
T: Arigatou gozaimashita!
K: Nice follow!
>_> But Tsuyoshi makes it up with a big kiss into the mic.

Random notes:
The picture screw up from day 1 got fixed, and the audience clapped when they saw that the first picture was fixed. The new picture of Koichi's adorableeee <3
There was this family near me. The mom and daughter are fans. The daughter's around 20+? So dad's pretty old. He sits the whole first half so I thought he got dragged there but he stands up for some of the older songs during the second half! He's a fan!
