[Report] You & Jin: U.S.A ~ 6/19 (Sat) @ 6PM
Please DO NOT post this entry elsewhere. DON’T DO IT. It took a long time to write this up, and I’d rather it stay here on my LiveJournal, please. Thank you.
You & Jin Fanreport
June 19th, 2010 ~ Saturday @ 6PM
I never know how to start these things. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a fan report. Let’s see… I live in Orange County, so it’s maybe a 30~40 minute drive to LA without traffic? I got to L.A. Live (the complex that holds Club Nokia) around 3:40, I think. I parked in Lot W. Parking cost $25. Yes, $25. Eff. >.>;; I should have just gotten prepaid parking on Ticketmaster - it says it’s $13, but it ends up being $21+ with the Ticketmaster fees… Anyways, you pay for parking before you leave, just for anyone wondering…
Anyways, after I parked, I headed straight for Club Nokia. There was a line on the first floor going on for Will Call or something… I only saw Japanese people in line, so I don’t know if that was a special thing or not. I walked passed them and headed up the escalators to the third floor for Club Nokia. The line wasn’t very long thankfully as I joined.
No cameras are allowed. If you have one, they tell you to put it away in your car. They check your bags and you go through a metal detector.
They didn’t let anyone in early. They opened the doors a few minutes after 5PM, so I waited in line for an hour or so. Won't be doing that again~~~ XD I'm just gonna come around 5:30PM or something for the last show...
They were not selling any new merchandise. The one thing they were selling was the You&Jin pamphlet/photobook. It’s the Japanese version, so again, nothing new. It was $38 exactly, cash only. I bought it. I don’t know why. >.>;; There’s a cool poster, though, and the photography is really nice. I still don’t like the curls, though. XDDD It was nice to flip through it as I waited in my seat. They were selling the photobook inside when I got in, but I was towards the beginning of the line. I heard later that they moved the line outside?
Oh, and backing up for a second… To get into the VIP lounge (if you have VIP tickets), you need to get a VIP wristband. Get that as you go in. There will be someone standing in the foyer area all the way to the right. There’s a box on a table in front of them. Show her or him your ticket and they’ll put the VIP wristband on you. Take the elevator to the 4th floor. I think it was the 4th floor. You can just ask the person manning the elevator anyways. I heard from online reviews that the Club Nokia staff are rude or whatever, but I thought they were nice. When I went up the elevator, the staff member was joking around and asking if I was ready for Jin Akanishi, etc. LOL. He was really nice and funny.
Anyways, I got into the VIP lounge and decided not to buy a drink. I just headed straight for the balcony area. There are two doors on either side of the VIP lounge - just walk through them. Have your ticket out and a staff member will direct you to your seat.
I sat in row DD. I was pleasantly surprised by how close the stage was. I brought binoculars because I didn’t know what the distance would be… but I didn’t use them at all.
That’s the DJ for before the show started and during intermission.
I was planning on trying to do a fancam with my iPhone, but I was way too stressed and paranoid that I would get caught. Plus a lot of people stood for the entire concert, so it was even harder. I think it would have been possible if people sat down, but since they didn’t… I did do an audio fancam, but it’s kinda… eh. :/
The show was scheduled to start at 6PM. It did not start at 6PM. >.>;; That was a little annoying for me personally, but not uncommon at all, I believe (from what I’ve heard from friends who frequent more concerts than me). I like to be punctual, if possible, for very important things. Also, I was really anxious/impatient for the show to start, ha.
When it finally, finally started, two black MCs came out - Juice and Bobbie (or Boobie? XD). They were good at getting the crowd riled up and they pronounced Jin’s name right! Unlike that horrible person doing the voice-overs for the You&Jin commercials. Still with an American accent, but wwwaaayyyyy better than the CM guy. They did the typical ‘Which side of the venue can be louder?’ talk.
They showed an exclusive video showing Jin at L.A. Live checking out the area and then checking out Club Nokia’s facilities. He says, “I’m gonna have my concert here” and then the camera turned to show the Katsuya restaurant at L.A. Live, lol. XD Then they showed the sign for Club Nokia before it showed the footage of Jin checking out the stage from the balcony and then looking over the VIP Lounge and bars.
Then Joey came out. Joey’s supposed to be a big deal? I’m not familiar with him. Anyways, Joey danced and then a dance crew from Florida (they were on America’s Got Talent) came out and did their thing. They were impressive, but again, I was impatient for Jin to come out.
Juice: So, we’re gonna keep this show moving for y’all, y’all like it so far?
Fans: -scream-
Juice: I say, y’all like it so far?
Fans: -scream-
Juice: That’s what I’m talking about. Next, we gotta a vet to the crew, the Jin Akanishi crew.
Fans screaming interrupt the MC.
Juice: Y’all just like that name, huh? Jin Akanishi, huh?
Fans: -scream-
Juice: Y’get what I’m saying? Jin Akanishi.
Fans: -scream-
MC2: Jin Akanishi.
Fans: -scream-
Juice: That’s what I’m talking about.
Dominic (he’s written a “song or two” for Jin before and also produced a “song or two”) comes out and performs his song, One Love, not to be confused with Arashi’s One Love. XP It was nice. But again. I was IMPATIENT for Jin.
Dom: Make some NOISE~~~
Juice comes out on stage as if he’s been pushed, jacket half-off. He yells at people off-stage, lol.
Juice: Anyways, as you all can see, I’m trying to get ready for the show. I look like I fell out of a toy box, but I mean… hopefully, y’all enjoy it, yeah? Yeah?
Fans: -scream-
They then showed one more exclusive video with Jin telling us he needs six more dancers and three hundred people came to audition. The video follows him as he heads into the building where the auditions are being held. He goes up the stairs and past all the dancers - the hallway is really crowded! And I also recognized one of my brother’s friends from high school. LOL. He didn’t make the final six, but it was a surprise to see him on the video at all, ha.
Jin makes it into the rehearsal room and we see people dancing for the choreographer (the guy they showed before in a clip for the You&Jin website). Jin watches them and the next few minutes of the video is Jin and others reviewing the dancers and then picking them out. There was a funny moment as Jin checks the photo and then the computer again after it seems like he already made a decision… After that, it shows Jin working with the choreographer on his dancing. Jin was being really cute and he was smiling, enjoying himself.
Choreographer as he’s dancing with Jin following behind… “Boom-boom, boom-pah.” And repeat… LOL.
In the video, Jin successfully finishes the dance steps.
Then we get back to the show - the MCs come out with all the other dancers and they’re all wearing shiny gold outfits - think “bling”. XDDD There’s a kinda techno-futuristic feel to the stage. They added instruments like the drums, guitar, and keyboard on moving platforms.
In the back, there is a raised platform with stairs going down on either side and also down the front. There’s also a curved LED (I think it’s LED) screen behind/above it (as seen in the intro picture I posted). There are also TV screens situated at different points in the venue for close-up shots of the performance.
Note: I wasn’t planning on writing a fanreport, so my notes are kinda spare at the beginning. (I decided several minutes in that I would do one… XD) A few titles might be wrong, so for those who went, let me know what I got wrong.
Anyways, Jin finally comes out after the dancers mess around a bit on stage. He just walks out from the left side in his white kind-of bomber jacket (if you can’t tell, I’m horrible with clothes) and jeans. See picture to the right (I’ve used scans from the You&Jin Japan concert).
He looks around the venue from where he’s standing and fans go crazy as he looks in their direction. (Yes, I did, too as it looked like he was looking in my direction, LOL. But who knows with those sunglasses he was wearing…)
Also, he looks exactly the same. And it doesn’t look like he’s cut his hair. → LOL, yes, this is important. XD I’m one of the ones who would like for him to cut it. :P He has his hair pulled into his habitual ponytail.
As the music starts and stops (it’s a musicbox version of Eternal - very sweet/nice), he does the kind of robot imitation. He makes his way to the instruments doing that and plays the drums. He starts off banging it slowly, then does it really fast and well, and then breaks off as if stopped (again, a robot-type move). His voice then goes all robotic as he says…
Jin: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls - welcome to You&Jin: Los Angeles. June 19th… [Everyone laughs here.] 3010.
He says something else, but I can’t make it out… but he ends it with “Time to… party!” Music starts.
By the way, he does NOT perform any songs in Japanese. Eff. :( What I wouldn’t have given to hear care live!
Note: I have only listened to a few fanrecordings of You&Jin beforehand before I stopped b/c the quality of the mp3s was giving me a headache. So I came into this not really knowing any of Jin’s songs, aside from LoveJuice and Wonder. Oh, and A Page. I’ve marked in red what I believe are his new songs. I checked with the scans of the handout from the You&Jin: Japan concert, but I still might be mistaken, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
Christmas Morning starts. I don’t really like this song because of the auto-tune going on. It does have a nice beat, though. Then...
“C. L. A. P. C. L. A. P. C. L. A. P.” - repeated several times.
Clap Bass Go Boom - First new song? I think this is new, anyway. Nice, had a techno beat, makes you want to “clap” and participate. After this song ends, it goes immediately into…
Wonder. Everyone went crazy because of course, we all know (and in my case, really love!) this song. In the background, on the screen, they play the PV for it with Crystal Kay. Jin is in his Wonder outfit there, of course. After it ends, it immediately transitions to…
I.N.P. Not too crazy about this one either, but again, nice techno beat. Club music. Cut-outs of a few different countries come down from above. Jin sings a few lyrics and then an old style microphone comes down from the ceiling and Jin kinda “battles” with another dancer (female). Like, they sing with attitude into the mic as if they were telling the other off, if you get what I mean… The girl dancer used here is extremely gorgeous. I really liked her. They introduce the dancers later, but I was so engrossed in trying to catch their names that I think I missed hers. ;___;
Adjust the Love - I like this song. :) Some really cool stuff went on here as Jin was singing. The stage was dark, but was lit with the kind of light that’s perfect for glow-in-the-dark stuff. The dancers come on wearing gloves with different colored lights on them that made a cool effect as they waved and manipulated their fingers behind Jin and around the stage. It’s the kind of thing that’s most appropriate for a rave, lol. Other dancers came out with lit up hula hoops - each with two different colors - and go up, cross the platform and then down the stairs. Oh, btw, Jin was singing this with someone else - who I didn’t recognize, but maybe hardcore Jin fans can tell me who it was? I wasn’t sure.
The song then goes into dance/techno music as four (or three) wooden panels are brought out from the sides. When brought together, you see that the front forms the You&Jin design, the one with the red and white curvy font. Y’all know what I’m talking about. Anyways, the man singing with Jin (I think) puts on the same jacket as Jin and puts up his hood. They both go behind the panels and then the dancers start moving the panels around. You see the man posing, hood down, Jin doing the same as the panels move, revealing and hiding them.
From where I was sitting, you can see what they’re doing behind the panels, hahaha. So I saw as Jin ducked out the side to change, LOL. It was actually kinda fun to see him rush out. But to other audience members, it was supposed to be like Jin never left. The man wearing the jacket goes up on the platform from the front stairs, hood still down. I’m sure the audience members figured it out…
Anyways, I forget what happens for the transition as I didn’t write any notes, but Jin comes out in a new outfit! This is not the one he wore in You&Jin: Japan, I don’t think. I haven’t seen any pictures of him in it, so… I think this outfit replaced the “panda” one (LOL) as I’ve seen others call Jin’s black and white hoodie jacket ensemble (see the picture to the left). Jin’s new outfit is a black hoodie, beige ripped cargo shorts, black T-shirt, yellow sneakers, and his favorite black fedora~~~ (Y’know which one I’m referencing. If you don’t - where have you been?! - it’s the one he wears in the 2010-2011 KAT-TUN calendar.) This was actually my favorite outfit because of its casual style… Not that his first outfit wasn’t casual, but I don’t really like that white jacket he wears. I also prefer his hair down, which it is here. (Though, still… cut it!)
A Page - Jin comes out on stage in that new outfit, onto the platform, sits down at the top and sings this song. I like this one, not one of my faves, but catchy. Not that I can really understand what he’s saying, only bits and pieces… but that’s me personally. I can’t speak for anybody else obviously. People go crazy for this one, as again, it’s a familiar Jin song. The same goes for the next song. As A Page ends, it then goes into…
LoveJuice - I was sooooo iffy about this title when I first heard this song way back when (I’ve been corrupted by doujinshi and all the smut found in JE fics), but I ended up loving this song. Jin does pretty much the same dance from QoP (probably with some new moves and adjustments, but I’m no Jin expert, so you’ll have to ask someone else) and his dancers are, of course, the girls. He moves around the stage and ends up at the top of the raised platform with two of the sexiest dancers. (Again, up to interpretation. XP But yeah, they were hot.)
The song then goes into dance/club music and Jin and the two girls sit down at the top of the platform, acting like they’re in a club. The girls sit on the step below Jin and kinda flirt with him. Jin gives the two of them drinks lovejuice and he has one for himself. They toast each other and drink, flirting all the while…
While this is going on, the other dancers are at the front of the stage with the other girl dancers showing off their impressive moves. At least, they looked impressive when I glanced at them every once in awhile. My eyes, as I’m sure everyone’s elses were, were on Jin on the platform in the back. Seriously, who was watching the dance-off? I sooo wasn’t.
After that goes on for a bit, with Jin cheering for them here and there from the platform, one of the girl dancers, dressed in a trenchcoat with a camera, pretends to take pictures of Jin and the two sexy dancers. Pictures appear on the screen of Jin with the girls, etc, obviously taken beforehand for this segment. I’m sure you can all guess which song comes up next…
Paparats - This is one of the few songs I tried to listen to with the fanrecordings from the You&Jin: Japan concerts, but the quality… ugh. I get a headache just thinking about it. So I was surprised by how much I didn’t dislike this song this time around, lol. There’s a microphone stand at the front and Jin performs this by just singing. He doesn’t dance, though there are two girls dressed as paparazzi at the back on either side of him.
Hey Girl - Holy CRAP, I adore this song. Again, another song I attempted to listen to before, but it didn’t work out. XD But omg, I love it! I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was the song Jin composed with Ryo Nishikido. This is a really fun song - like the kind that makes you want to jump and bounce. It’s not like silly or anything, but it’s totally fun - I find this to be a kind of rare song among Jin’s current collection. Jin was singing with the guy dancers next to him and they called out to the girl dancers as the girls walked in front of them. They kind of ignored the guys a bit, lol.
As they near the end of the song, the Hey Girl music continues to play, but Jin leaves the stage. On the screen, the background is a bar with stools (sort of like a cartoon drawing). Jin (not looking like a cartoon, lol) appears walking on the screen and he sits at the bar, facing the audience. His figure is then blocked out, so then he’s now a red silhouette. Then, one by one, all the dancers leave the stage, and they each then appear on the screen, doing different poses with their respective bar stool before they too are then filled in with a different color. The color washes off Jin so he’s normal again, but I forget what happens after that… Anyways, the stage goes dark and then a live video feed appears on the TV screens.
Jin is at the bar at the top floor level!! So, at the bar behind the top of the balcony. The VIP seats and lounge are at the lower part of the balcony, just fyi. So, for any of you higher up, you might want to head to the bar… haha. (At least, I’m pretty sure it’s the top bar. It didn’t look like the VIP lounge.) So much for being pretty sure. =.='' Sorry, it was the floor bar. -is shot- The camera shows Jin and his dancers at the bar, ordering drinks.
The following is the closest thing we have to a MC talk before intermission. I might have mixed up the MCs and a bit of the dialogue as it got noisy.
MC1: Who’s having a good time tonight?
[Some talking from the MCs that I missed.]
MC2: We’re getting a shot down here at the bar with Akanishi~
MC1: ~ JIN!!!
Fans: -scream-
MC1: Man, that first set was hard as shit.
Jin: Yo, what are you guys gonna order? [Not gonna lie, he sounds cute here. >////< And not at all like the kinda gangster tone that he often uses that I dislike.] What are you gonna order?
MC1: [Something I can’t hear…] … can we get one vodka shot?
Jin: Can I get a vodka shot and a lovejuice, man? Lovejuice. You got lovejuice?
MC2: Lovejuice… lovejuice. Let me get some lovejuice.
Jin laughs. [I think it’s Jin.]
MC1: Who wants some Akanishi juice? [ROFL. -dirty mind-] I got some right here. -points to Jin-
They get their drinks.
MC1: Let’s take a shot - you ready? Oh wait, we need two more, we need two more.
[For Jin’s lady dancers…]
Jin: Ladies, ladies, ladies… -hands them drinks- Ladies~~ [Haha, of course, Jin…]
MC1: We need two more. Two more, for the girls. You gotta- oh, one more, one more. We gotta get it to the ladies~ We gotta give it to the ladies~ Who wants Akanishi shoooo--- ot? [As in, ‘shot’, not ‘shoot’, the MC just stretched the syllables.) Who wants Akanishi shot? Oh! Oh! Here we go, this is to Akanishi having a good time. One, two, three-!
They all drink.
MC1: Hold up, hold up. One more, one more, one more. We gotta get one-
Jin: EVERYBO-!
Fans: -laugh-
MC1: Who wants to be on camera?
The camera turns around, revealing the crowd watching Jin. [Holy crap, they are close!]
MC1: Tell me you love him! Tell me you love him!
Jin: Are you guys having fun?!
MC1: -in the background- Say hi to Jin!
Fans: -scream-
Jin: Are you guys having fun?
Fans: -scream-
MC1: Yyyyeeaaaahhhh, boy! We’re having a good time here at the bar.
Some shouting/screaming.
Jin: -to the dancers- Chug it, chug it!
MC1: Akanishi, whatcha want to say to your fans out here?
Jin: I love you, guys.
MC1: He LOVES YOU!
Fans: -screams-
MC1: -to Jin- Take your shot, take your shot. -to fans- All right, right now, we’re gonna take a 15-min intermission. So if you want to get some lovejuice, come up to the bar, we gotta roll out.
Jin: Love you~
***To hear audio for the last part (the ‘I love you, guys’ part), go HERE for my Tumblr audio post.
INTERMISSION
You can’t tell, but it actually says ‘Intermission’ on the screen, lol.
Dancer Introductions - Juice and the other MC - Bobbie? - introduce the other dancers. I tried to write them all down, but failed. :(
Dance Segments
Jin comes out wearing a white jumpsuit, half-buttoned up over his real outfit. (See picture to the right.) He has on his favorite black fedora with a black dress shirt and silver tie.
→ Pop Dance
There was a small part of this that reminded me of the RESCUE dance.
→ Screen Dance
This was cool and the reason Jin wore the white jumpsuit. He buttons it up all the way and performs a screen dance with two other dancers - one’s in regular clothes, the other is also in a white jumpsuit. Different colors and patterns shine down on the stage and it’s kind of like the dancers are a blank canvas, especially with the white jumpsuits, so the colors appear on the “canvas”. For example, bubbles and it’s like they’re underwater. Jin and the other dancer in the white jumpsuit jump to the side and leave the last dancer in the middle with the water. They then put in straws and drink/take out the water. Then there’s also another part where hearts appear in the middle of their chests. Then the heart bursts into flames, consuming them. Jin and the dancers then dump buckets over their heads, and then colors are shined on them as if paint is rolling down. And, for some reason, on the white buckets, they shine on pictures of Jin’s head?! I don’t know… XD
Jin leaves the stage. Joey comes on and does several tricks that I wasn’t paying attention to. Partly because I was ‘eh’, partly because I was freaked out about getting caught. It might be my paranoia, but I feel like I was very obvious, lol.
→ Look Lock Dance
Lots of green going on here. Two of the girl dancers are dressed in greet sort of zoot suits. Jin comes out again during this part, in an outfit we’ve seen before (see picture to the left). Black blazer, black dress shirt, silver tie, black fedora, hair down.
In this dance, he switches to a white fedora. He passes the fedora over his face and up - and he’s suddenly wearing sunglasses! He places the white fedora on his head and then takes it off and tosses it into the crowd. The fedora spins above, comes back to him, he misses it, it circles him, and then he finally catches it, lol. So this is his hat trick... Jin switches back to his regular black fedora.
→ Hip Hop Dance
Jin showing off his impressive dance skills.
→ World Dance
I think I liked the world dance the best. The girl dancers come out in sexy, skin-tight black clothes, but with kimonos/yukatas - of course, loose over their bodies as they move the fabrics to the music. Epic music plays. Jin comes out with a white mask and purple wig. At some point, he takes off the mask, but there’s another one under it. He repeats this several times, giving the masks to the male dancers that surround him until they each have one. They do a sort of dance with the masks.
The freakin’ EPIC music that I love from the opening of the Break the Records concert plays.
Jin and the other dancers dance to this with red fabric cloaks. The music changes. Some weird stuff was going on here, which I won’t try to explain since I’ll just confuse you guys. I’m still confused.
Yellow Gold - New song! I like this one. :)
My Mp3 - … interesting beat. I can’t decide if I like this one or not.
Tipsy Love
He sings without music at first.
Jin: -sings- If I said, ‘do you love me?’, would you say, ‘Ye-oh’?
Fans: YE-OH! -laughs-
Jin: -sings- If I said, ‘do you need me?’, would you say, ‘Ye-oh’?
Fans: YE-OH!
Fans clap and scream as Jin looks up and around.
Jin: -sings- If I said, ‘do you love me?’, would you say, ‘Ye-oh’?
Fans: YE-OH!
Jin: -sings- If I said, ‘do you need me?’, would you say, ‘Ye-oh’?
Fans: YE-OH!
***To hear audio for this part, go HERE for my Tumblr audio video post. (Well, it’s a video post as I was trying to bypass the Tumblr rule of one audio post per day, so I made a quick little “fanvid”). I’m gonna try to get a better recording of Tipsy Love later as my fanrecording gets kinda messed up as the song continues.
Last new song! LOVE this one~~~ A pretty kind of melody, not as slow as a ballad, but it has a sweet quality to it. 8D This is the last song performed. There’s a kind of blown-up balloon behind Jin as he sings. It’s sort of like a large crystal ball, but balloon form? XD I don’t know what the purpose of it was as nothing really happened with it, aside from Jin giving it a little kick at the end. (Or maybe I missed something. My eyes were on Jin.) -> Yep, I missed it. They projected light onto it as if it were a spinning globe. Whoops! (I told you! My eyes were on Jin! XD)
Random things that Jin says towards end of the song as the audience sings and as the show wraps up:
“I can’t hear you!”
“You sound MORE!” → He might have said something else. This is what it sounds like to my ears (and let it be known I have horrible hearing).
“Everybody!”
“Again!”
“This show is possible because of you guys. Thank you so much!”
“Let me introduce my friends…” → He introduces the dancers.
“It’s a party, it’s your birthday…” → As one dancer dances, he says this with everyone else. LOL.
“I’m serious, I can’t hear you guys.” He laughs. → I remember this vividly because this was one of his really good, old fashioned laughs.
Last line of the night is, of course…
“Ciao~~~!”
Everyone calls out for an encore, calling his name and cheering. This goes on for several minutes and the cheers go up and die down. Jin doesn’t come out. >.>;; I thought he might do an encore with a Japanese song (this was just my wishful thinking). At the very least, I thought he might come out one more time to wave, but he didn’t.
The guy on stage shakes his head and does the cutting motion across his throat. Show’s over and Jin’s not coming out. The lights come on. Everyone slowly starts to shuffle out.
I’m not gonna lie. That was a disappointing note to end on for a first show that went pretty well. (Tipsy Love is a great song to end on with audience participation.)
All in all, I think Jin did a good job. It was surreal to see him in person. (Seriously, sooooo surreal. Plus I saw his favorite fedora in person, too. Haha.) His English has obviously improved, but he didn’t use it enough for me to believe he’s “fluent”. If he had done more of his own MC, then maybe. (But that could’ve just been him being averse to MCing himself. Who am I to say?)
I was bored with the opening acts, however. For me, personally, it was like ‘Where’s Jin?!’ XD Impatient. The one time I got really high tension was for Hey Girl. I think this experience just reiterated the fact that Jin’s style of music isn’t my primary taste. Like, I like it in doses but not all at once? LOL. Does that make sense?
A DVD would be nice, but yeah, not gonna happen. (I’m going by Johnny’s track record.) I’d love DVDs for Tacchan’s and Maru’s solos as well. :( (For the curious, KAT-TUN was not mentioned at all during the show. I missed them.) I wish they had given out lyric sheets like they did for the Japan concerts, but no… :(
For those wondering, I looked at the lyric scans of the Japan concert, and it looks like Jin didn’t play Keep it Up or RESET. And obviously his Japanese songs.
My top three favorite songs of the night, in order: Tipsy Love, Hey Girl, Yellow Gold. That’s not to say I didn’t like the other songs - I’m fond of Wonder and Lovejuice - but those three are my favorites of the night.
While I love Tipsy Love, the second half of the concert was very dance heavy. I was actually hoping for him to sing more, but that’s just me.
I was definitely seeing Jin Akanishi, and not KAT-TUN’s Jin Akanishi.
If you made it to the end of this fanreport, congratulations! XD;; Holy crap, this is way longer than I intended it to be.
Please DO NOT post this entry elsewhere. DON’T DO IT. It took a long time to write this up (2~3+ hours!), and I’d rather it stay here on my LiveJournal, please. Thank you.
I’m going to his last show later today (holy crap, it’s already 4:30AM!) at 6PM. We’ll see what happens. It would be nice if he came on stage to at least wave if people call out for an encore.
OT, but Happy Father’s Day~~! ♥
