The venue this year was the same as last year's summer and Christmas show, the Shochikuza. It's a very small venue, which can only hold a little more than 1000 people.
We were on the 7th row, right side of the stage.

- Skit -- main MCs were Akito and Dai-chan. All juniors came out on stage and sat down. Fujii came out in a skinny purple pants and got teased by Akito/Dai - another junior came out barefooted :D - They're going to hold an ad lib skits in which Akito/Dai will pick who's going to pair with who - they then announced the judge, Nakama Junta XD He came out bring out a little chair and sat at the end of the stage (riiiiiiiiiight in front of our side *_* [spazzes]) - skit in no particular order
① Muro 3 Brothers - taxi skit - Tatsuro took the lead and appointed Masaya as the customer and Ryuta as the taxi driver. At this Ryuta went "What?! Taxi driver?! You want this (Muro Ryuta) to be taxi driver?" XDDDD Tatsuro just ignored him and made him started the skit. Skit a} Masaya and Tatsuro were waiting for taxi and they saw Ryuta's taxi coming so they stopped him. Taxi Ryuta didn't stop and ignored them. Tatsuro hit his head and asked why he didn't stop. Skit a ended. Skit b} Same situation, but this time instead of ignoring Tatsuro & Masaya, Taxi Ryuta ran through them. He got hit by Tatsuro again. Skit b ended. Skit c} Same situation but finally Taxi Ryuta stopped and let Tatsuro and Masaya ride his taxi. Ryuta "So where do you want to go?" Tatsuro "Kyoto, please" Ryuta "Kyoto? I'm sorry I can't go there?" Tatsuro "Why?" Ryuta "Because my house is in Osaka." Tatsuro "Ha?! What's that have to do with this? Come on, just take us to Kyoto!" Ryuta "I can't, if I take you to Kyoto I'll be alone during the ride back to Osaka." Tatsuro smacked him on the head. Skit c ended.
② Mukai Brothers + Itou - baseball skit - Skit a} Mukai brothers wanted to practice baseball, but don't have ball. Mukai Koji pulled Itou and said "Here's a ball" and made a pose as if he was hitting ball!Itou. Ball!Itou rolled on the floor towards Mukai Tatsuro. Mukai Tatsuro tsukkomied Itou "You're not a bowling ball, you're not supposed to roll on the floor like that, you're a baseball ball!". Skit b} baseball practice again, this time they don't have the bat. Koji pulled Itou and said "Here's a bat!". Bat!Itou walked towards Tatsuro and bumped into him.

⑨ Akito + Dai-chan
*I think I forgot a skit or two since I remember Muro Ryuta did skit twice m(_ _)m I'm sorry~
- MC
① Drama talk - Akito making fun of X-kun in DramaticJ that was aired the night before, Dai-chan also made fun of Y-kun - X and Y kun rushed to stop both Akito/Dai - Junta started limping during this time ;_________; - Yuma's Battery drama talk; how does he feel since he was alone from Kansai? He was a bit nervous at first, but everyone treated him nicely and since there were another Jr too so it was ok.
② Introducing new Jrs - there were 5 of them - one of them is in 3rd Year Middle School, his specialty is electric guitar, Akito said he was surprised since the new boy looked like someone whose specialty is surfing lol
③ Hey!Say!7!West with Nakayama Yuma (I honestly don't get why they had to add with Nakayama Yuma at the end, because Yuma + other 6 is already 7, but whatever, they seemed to be pimping Yuma a lot these days) new members introduction - it's TOP KIDS plus other 4 juniors. One of the new member name was Shingaki smtg; and Dai-chan commented that his name is cool, while his name is just Nakata Daichi which is so easy to write and uncool at all ^^' He kept complaining abt it in such cute way <3
④ Dai-chan and Akito pointed that there's a few cameras at the back of the hall, and told us to just ignore it (Dai-chan made a idol pose 1 here) and act like usual (Akito joins in making idol pose no2). Daichan reminded us to not pay attention to the camera (more idol pose, Akito and Junta joins in). It was so hilarious, I wish I could explain it in better way >.<
⑤ Promo for the homecoming concert on the Sept1st and 2nd.
⑥ Drama promo by the Muro brothers (?) Ah! Some show promo too.
- random titbits -
① During MC, Itou wore a shirt with Mars planet prints on it XD
② Junta only danced a little for BAD's 1st song, then after that he started to limp and don't really dance, but in the end during the rock-ish medley he was a bit hyper
③ OSSAN's Satake had hair like Ryo's lion hair- it was long-ish and the colour look off on him, but when he was banging his head when he's jamming with his guitar he look so so cool
④ OSSAN got a new member - Adachi-kun
⑤ They didn't mention BOYS at all, the ending intro went like, Hamada and Nakata. Yamasaki Kunta. Muro 3 Brothers. But they have BOYS page in the pamphlet so I really don't know. And if I'm not mistaken, they also changed the poster they had in front of Shochikuza- the previous poster had BOYS on it and without Junta/Akito/Yuma's name, while the new one has those three names and instead of BOYS, they had each other name. Hmm~ I wonder what's going to happen with BOYS.
---will add more later if I remember anything else---
Post-show
After the show, Rosejeide and I waited at behind the Shochikuza to see the boys left. We were lined up according to whose fan we are so Rosejeide and I had to split- I got into Junta's line and she went to Akito's. After an hour or so waiting, the boys came out and seriously the 1st thing that crossed my mind was these boys need to eat more! They're just so skinny, unhealthily skinny- especially Junta, Kunta and Yuma. Their cheekbones were poking(?) so obviously and their legs are so tiny! The only thing that make them manly is probably their arms which were buffy-- esp Daichan. Speaking of Daichan, what happened to him? [gasps] It's like he had grown up fast forward to 5 years from now. He just look ...so matured and so different from the last time I saw him. Kids these days just grew up so fast, don't they? My second thought was god these guys are just so pretty, especially OSSAN's Oota- he look much much prettier than those magazines shoots. And I think he has gotten taller since last year, he is as tall as Senzaki, who is really tall btw.
Junta came out with crutches and he looked a bit tired [pats him] He thanked us for the fanletters. The first thing he asked us was how was the show and did we enjoyed it. Then he said he's going to work hard and please to continue to support him. And lastly, he asked did we buy his uchiwa and if we haven't please buy it XD He then was led by one of the staffs to the main road ( I guess there's a car waiting for him there).
At this time, BOYS + OSSAN + Veterans were standing in a circle in front of us and were making fun of each other. They were a bit loud and later the staffs chased them home XD
Akito was the last person to come out and when one of the staffs told him he's the last person to left, he was how could they left him alone ;_; He then said he will talk with us (maybe until the car come back to fetch him?). He asked how was the show and one of the girls answred it was good. He then asked if we do have any questions- I don't remember if anyone did asked question or not. My impression on him- he was so charming, in a Kansai-jin way of charming. But but Junta is more charming than him [smitten] His smile, and and that eyes o(*^__^*)o
He then left and we all did too.
Overall thought
Honestly I think last year's show had the better setlist- the flow of the songs was nicer, the songs that they picked were fan-friendly (or rather me friendly) with every group had almost the same amount of stage time while this time around it almost seemed too focused on Yuma. I have nothing against him, but I want my dose of BOYS and OSSAN too ^^;;
But, they boys had definitely improved a lot, singing and dancing-wise. And fan service wise. Especially Bun-chan. He doesn't stares blankly into audience any more, and had started smiling <3 His dance movement also has sharpened (?), and it was so obvious when he sang/danced Chou with veterans where you could see the gap between him and the other three. It could be because he was involved with Butoukan, and it kinda made me wished other KanJuu will have some exposure in the future too.
And I was so so so happy that BAD was there *_________* I might or might not teared up when they came up on stage. At one point I just want to drag Junta and sat him on a chair because I just can't stand the sight of him limping around.
Overall it was a fun show, and I think it's been so long since I last attended a concert that made me laughed so hard. The skit was my favourite part of the show, it's just so hilarious. I'm so glad I went this time and I totally look forward for their next show <3
