[Daigo x Ryûsei]
[Ren]
Ren made his entrance from the balcony that was on the right side of the stage dressed in white pants and in a white long-sleeved shirt. Just before he went backstage after Aiing, Daigo introduced Ren who then announced he would now show us what his future wedding would be like. (Why not, boy, why not xD)
He started to sing from the balcony and then continued while slowly walking down the stairs. When he got to the stage level, some Junior were waiting for him, each of them holding a different clothing item. As Ren was walking past them, they would hand it to him. So by the end of the song, he was also wearing a red jacket, a white tails jacket, a red necktie and a white hat.
Now that he was fully dressed, he was ready to get married! So he walked towards the "altar" that was actually "hidden" behind a red curtainthat had been drawn at the back, in the middle of the stage. When he finished singing, a spotlight was lit from behind the curtain so we could only see his shadow. Then the bride (we all know it was probably Daigo wearing a girl's wig aha!) joined him and they got married~
I think the performance was supposed to make your heart skip a beat but...I personally don't consider Ren as a potential boyfriend, I am not interested in dating him whatsoever, let alone get married to him, so I just found the whole thing awkward in the most adorable way x)
[Bunichi]
After Ren's wedding, the red curtain rose on Bunichi who was sitting legs crossed in an armchair in the middle of the stage, wearing a purple bathrobe and holding a glass of "wine". He was surrounded by Junior who were acting like his "servants" fanning him, massaging his shoulders,...One of them was pouring him some more wine and it actually overflowed his glass, which is why he couldn't make it to the end of the talking part of the song x)
When the chorus started, he stood up firmly, removed his bathrobe and threw it on the armchair behind him. He then started to walk slowly to the front of the stage, staring straight ahead of him, eyebrows frowned and with a determined look on his face.
Now that he had taken his bathrobe off, we could see he was wearing a white long-sleeved slim onesie with the first kanji of the word "kakumei" written in black on the front. When he reached the front of the stage, he sang "Ka-ku-me-i!" and pulled a little string on his costume ro reveal the second kanji. And the lights went off.
And this, is why I love Bunichi ♥
He doesn't take himself too seriously, but at the same time he isn't making a fool of himself. He knows how to make people laugh by doing this kind of thing that make no sense but he isn't just being ridiculous, it's actually really funny! Maybe he has that ability from his alien powers after all aha!

[Tôma x Kôji x Ryûta]
This was one of my favorite performances of the show! I think all of the boys were on stage? I'm almost sure the Tôwa/Taisei/Koshiro group was there but maybe not the chibi boys...? They were all wearing suits: black pants and shirts and red jackets with gold lines for the seven "main" members, simple black suits with a red shirt and a black tie for the older Junior, red long-sleeved shirts and black non sleeved jackets for the younger boys.
The staging was quite simple, but very effective. No fancy stage sets: it was just the boys dancing and performing acrobatics. The overall colors used for the lightings and on the screen were black and gold giving the performance a sort of..."jazzy" atmosphere? I don't really know how to describe it well, but to give a comparison, it kind of reminded me of Higher from Endless SHOCK or Liar from Playzone.
Speaking about SHOCK, with that performance, you could definitely tell Daigo's dancing skills have improved after him being on the show for two months. He really impressed me there! My eyes would have been glued to him...if there wasn't also Tôma who was literally beaming on stage ♥
[Bunichi w/ band]
I've already written it but really, Bunichi has such an amazing voice ♥
Make him sing one of my favorite song of Domoto Tsuyoshi and there you have me, melting from the perfection.
He was accompanied by three boys but apart from Junya who was playing the drums, I unfortunately have no idea who the two boys who were playing the guitar and the piano were...(And this is why Junior who usually don't get much exposure should take part in the games and the talks so we can know who they are!)
I can't even explain how much I LOVE this song. Everytime I listen to it, I end up with a big smile on my face, or crying, or both. The lyrics of this song always strike a chord in my heart, and that evening was not an exception. After all I went through last year, I was just thinking about how lucky I was to be there, watching the boys on stage, and it made me so happy my body decided to go with the big-smile-and-watery eyes option. But I wasn't really crying! (Yet.)
[NEW SONG]
This was the last song before the double encore and the final greetings. When I heard it for the first time that evening, I thought the lyrics were aimed at us fans, to thank us for coming and to make the promise that there would be more shows in the future for us to see them. But when I listen to the song now knowing that this show was Tôma's last stage, the lyrics have a whole different meaning...
The time has passed again today
The dream is slowly ending
Cold nights, sad mornings
We're still looking at the same sky
Even if we're going separate ways
Let's make that only one promise
If we're feeling lost and our heart ask for it
Let's meet again and laugh together
The fact that we met you
The happy times and this special scenery
We will never forget it
Yes, we will meet again for sure
So for now let's just say "See you again"
When we remember about it
When we're encountering failure
The sound of your laughing voice
Brings us hope
The fact that we met you
The happy times and this special scenery
We will never forget it
Yes, we will meet again for sure
So for now let's just say "See you again"
Thank you, always
[03:09] (Ren) Everyone, thank you for this enjoyable concert!
Thanks to you, we made it through all the shows without any incidents
From now on, we will work hard to become so big people from all around the country come to see us
So please continue to look after us Kansai Junior until the end
Thank you very much!
When Tôma sang the last line of the song, he was clearly on the verge of tears. I also remember Daigo and Ryûsei were facing the floor. But I thought maybe they were sad because it was the last show, so I was looking at them smiling and thinking they were cute.
The curtain went down on the boys who were waving at us, some of them lying on the stage so they could see us until the moment the curtain touched the floor, and that's how the "main" part of the concert ended, with smiles and a couple of slightly watery eyes...
