I'm back with new reports! 8D
Ok, I have to admit that I left out the reports for the European leg of the tour. I have them partly written up already, but didn't feel like posting I guess.
Anyway, Takamatsu!
I went to the hall around 1 pm, because
-yaten_kou_ advised to get there earlier if I actually wanted to have a chance to buy any goods. There were about 30 people already waiting.
view of the cost line from the 3rd floor
And even though there were just 30 in front of me, some items still sold out before I could get my hands on them!!
I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow. :P
As I went to get my ticket a few hours later, the guy behind the window also handed me the perfume bottles designed by Aoi, which I had ordered a few months ago.
My ratings:
pink - run, far away, and don't look back (that's never ever Jasmine, just no - Aoi, you sure you want to smell THAT on any woman?? Oo)
blue - definitely useful stuff
black - uhm... maybe?
concert 1/9
start: 18:30
end: 21:00
seating: 1st floor, row 5, seat 30, Uruha's side (could count as 4th row, as 1st row was off-limits)
Beside me I had one girl from Switzerland on one side and on the other
supatrakaew. I was so happy to see her again after one year! ^^
I only saw one other foreign looking girl among the audience, so all in all we were probably only a handful at this location.
I wish I had taken notes. I never get the whole set list together without those...
So the below is missing some titles, songs might be misplaced etc., my memory is all blotchy.
I will update in case some more accurate set lists pop up anywhere.

particular moments in no defined order:
- Ruki got thinner! no joke - staff, please feed the poor man before he gets blown away by Uruha's fan!! 8O
- encore, Aoi entered the stage drinking from a beer bottle again and mock-threw it into the crowd
- Kai tried to throw his drum sticks to the 2nd floor, but didn't manage all the time and made a 'darn it' gesture in semi-embarrassment while smiling widely
- the crowd screamed loudly for Aoi whenever he neared his mic during a break and he played with their expectations by intently leaning towards the mic as if he wanted to say anything, only to draw back some steps once Ruki started talking, as if he hadn't been standing where he was just a few seconds ago
- during one song, at a moment when he wasn't required to play, Aoi grabbed onto his mic determinedly and stared into the crowd with a lascivious look on his face for a very long time (holy cow, mister, what were you trying to do? getting half the audience to faint? Oo) - and you could tell that he knew exactly the effect he had on people (scary, when he gets THAT calculating)
- Aoi trolled Reita again. when Reita jumped onto Uruha's pedestal Aoi smugly positioned himself behind again, put his pick between his lips and lifted his hands to grab Reita's hips and push him forward. Reita apparently felt someone behind him, but was a second too late to react. While still balancing himself he turned around and found Aoi behind him. Aoi's face was priceless - like a kid who knew it had had its fingers inside the cookie jar without permission but still smiling widely with big innocent eyes lol! Reita moved just a tad in Aoi's direction and Aoi literally bolted to the other side of the stage, winking at Kai while passing the drum set
- Uruha is cute in his way. he always checks whether the crowd is having fun and motivates them even further :)
- Reita poked and then pushed at Ruki from behind while Ruki was crossing the stage, making him stumble a few feet forward. Ruki chuckled about Reita's antics but obviously wasn't bothered by it at all
- Uruha passed Aoi while leaving the stage and Aoi crossed his arms over his chest, grabbing his own shoulders and screwed up his face as if saying 'noo, why are you giving me the cold shoulder & leave me here all aloooone??!'
- during Ride with the Rockers Aoi listened to the audience singing along, shaking his head and very much indicating that we were too softly-spoken overall and also Ruki tried to motivate everyone to sing louder
- Kai's smiles are awesome, he's always lighting up behind his drum set - he seemed particularly proud and happy during his own song Redo :)
After the concert I thought I saw two members of Alice Nine on one of the private balconies, but I'm not sure since I'm not that familiar with those guys. I guess I was mistaken...
