It's raining. How appropriate.
In an effort to combat dark feelings for today, I'm taking this opportunity to post some fun things from the previous two shows (since I haven't had time to post the goings-on XD;):
Saturday afternoon
--Waiting with Kaoru in the lobby to go inside (I'd met up with her to give her the Dream Light she'd asked me to buy her in Kobe, since she was afraid [and with good reason XD;] that they'd sell out) I was hot, so I was fanning myself with the *pnish* On. 7 uchiwa I'd brought with me...when three random Japanese girls scurried up to us and asked if I was a *pnish* fan, holding out their own On 7 uchiwa and giggling maniacally. I said that yes, we both were, and they tittered excitedly that they'd seen me at events and shows and always wanted to talk to me but had never worked up the courage--FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. If I was ever concerned that no one ever noticed me at shows or just politely ignored me...this proved it wrong :D *strangely happy*
--I randomly ran into a friend from Nagayan's FC when I went to sit down in the stands--she'd seen me walking down the stairs from the audience and ran over XD
--During one of the final songs (either FGKS or On My Way) Tuti and Nagayan are off on the left-hand side of the stage with Eiki and waving at everyone and all...but today for some reason they were leaning in close to each other and talking about something in the middle of the fricking song XD; ICHAICHA IS FOR LATER GUYS.
--During FGKS, at the end of the song, 5th cast returns to the main stage, and they always run up the stairs to where 1st cast is standing on the top level and sing the last bit of the song with their respective sempai. Shouta's taken to taking FLYING TACKLE HUGS at Nagayan and then they kind of whirl around and sldiufhsdfs it is quite possibly one of the cutest things in the world ;____; On the other side of the stage, Tuti and Tsuji usually have a chorus line (what XD) with Eiki and Ikko XDDDD
--During Season, as I mentioned before, Shouta usually runs across the stage to where Tsuji is on the stairs to come and stand beside him and be ichaicha on stage, but today, for some reason Tsuji was a few steps further up, and instead Okki (Yanagi) was in his place. Pretending like he'd mistaken Yanagi for Oishi, Shouta just went on about his business like nothing was wrong XD And then Tsuji noticed this, stalked down, and put a hand on Yanagi's shoulder and shaking his head, at which point Yanagi high-tailed it out of there. Shouta then gave that classic adorable "scratching the back of the neck" apologetic look XDDDD
Saturday evening
--I was seated on one of the aisles near the center stage down which a lot of people came *___* like Shooouuuuta and Tsuuuuuuji and Mako-chaaaaaan~~~~
--In the 1st Cast corner today, they talked about things that had been passed down from 1st cast through all the other casts, examples of which included: Kikumaru's bandage (in which all Kikumarus since Nagayan [did Ichitarou do this?] tear off a strip of tape and apply it to their cheek on their own), Fuji's short shirt (Fuji in the manga shows a lot of belly in his matches, so the costuming crew purposefully make his shirt [for all Fujis since Kime] relatively short, so that when he raises his arms to make a shot, it shows a niiiiiice strip of skin 8D Yes, Kime did demonstrate this for us to deafening screams XD NOW I'M ALWAYS GONNA LOOK FOR THAT)
--They then decided to talk about things that had stopped at 1st cast, which had not been passed down, examples of which were: Inui juice (Souta was the only one who made it, apparently--and all agreed that the DL1st stuff was the WORST), and Oishi's karakarakara Moon Volley! sound effect XDDDD (gee, I can't imagine why no one else would've done that, Tsuchiya-san)
--So of course, you know what happened next: at the end of Saigo no Golden Pair, when Tsuji and Shouta are running down the catwalk to leave the stage, Tsuji pauses, turns, and drags his racket across the stage going, "Karakarakara MOON VOLLEY!" :DDDDDD and every screamed and it was adorable and sdifuhsldifs WHY DO THESE TWO LITTLE BASTARDS INSIST ON JUST MAKING ME FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH THEM EVERY DAY?!
I have to finish getting ready now ;_; The next time you hear from me, it'll probably be all wibbly and weepy so, apologies in advance XD;
