Tour goods anecdote:
Almost all goods sell out at ridiculous speed this time around, at every single location!
I spent 3 hours waiting (and freezing) in the cold before the sale started. I was the 13th in line and the pink wallet was again sold out before me. Also, I got the sample of the heart-shaped pouch, means it was then sold out after me... and that just 5 minutes after they had opened the doors! This scenario happened to me twice already. This tour is crazy where it concerns goods.
My advice: if you want to make sure you are one of the first, line up at 10 or 11. Don't bother with 14 or 15 o'clock.

warning: my reports will remain Aoi-biased. deal with it. 8D
- as Fadeless was ending Aoi pointed towards Ruki with his arm and opened his palm as if to advertise the center stage, just in that moment Ruki turns to the drum set and adjusts the front of his pants discreetly (I'm sure that was pure coincidence, but a fun one XD)
- the band loved the audience today, they were fired up!
- I noticed something... so Aoi doesn't do the hip gyrating anymore UNLESS he is in a frickin' good mood! Which he was today, as we had the pleasure of seeing that action during FITB XDD
- before Aoi played his solo in Redo, he quickly kissed his guitar pick. that was kinda adorable ^^
- Kai totally sings along to Redo! Basically the whole song and always enthusiastically
- whatever Aoi did to his equipment, he produced some awesome sounds today! I hope he continues with this setup
- during Last Heaven Aoi looked very relaxed and satisfied while playing. I think he enjoys the flow of the acoustic parts very much
I tend to sing along during their songs. I know most people here in Japan don't do this, so maybe it is a sight Ruki and Aoi find interesting (or distracting, who knows?) to watch. Anyway, I got the distinct feeling that their gazes swept over me curiously a few times, too often to be mere coincidences. Well, actually, I looked straight into their eyes, so I don't think I'm mistaken. Oo
- during the MC after Last Heaven, Aoi and Reita had their inside joke going on again. I wish I knew what the heck they are laughing about every time!
- during Required Malfunction Aoi went to Uruha and they played in front of each other while shortly talking about something (let's not count the suggestive winks going back and forth between those two - I have no clue what triggered that exchange Oo)
- at Ride with the Rockers you could see in all their faces how much they loved this energetic crowd
- Uruha was rather cuddly today, he kept searching contact with the other band members. it started with Aoi and him playing beside each other. he bent down to look into Aoi's face, who kept concentrating on his guitar. so Uruha went even closer. if Aoi ever wanted to participate in fan service, he would have had several chances today. Uruha raised an eyebrow at Aoi and gave him a lopsided grin as it became obvious that he didn't want to do more. Aoi then went in circles around Uruha, who laughed at his antics.
- Aoi and Reita played in front of each other for a while, they always have so much fun rocking together :)
- Aoi bowed a lot in appreciation/gratitude today, still the charming gentlemen at heart
- during the last MC we all had a lot to laugh: for one there were again lots of communicative guys within the audience XDD and Mr dorky Aoi spontaneously decided (after giving a snort to some guy's reply to one of Ruki's questions) to provide background music for Ruki's monologues => he produced plopp plopp plopp sounds with his guitar (like those notification sounds of some smartphones) and also at the exact right moments, it amused me greatly XD
- Aoi mock-kicked Ruki in the butt without him noticing XD
- Uruha tried to get cuddly with Reita on the center pedestal, who turned towards the audience with a 'wth!' expression on his face lol
- Uruha succeeded with Ruki! XD
during Sludgy Cult Ruki grabbed him and fondled around at his neck and chest etc
Aoi's answer to that display was to grab Reita in much the same fashion, but while he held onto Reita from behind with one arm he raised his other and made an obvious 'thumb down' sign. Ruki and Uruha never noticed... lol
- for the last encore they entered the stage from Uruha's side. Aoi came first, of course with a beer in his hand. He went to the center edge, scrabbled about in the pockets of his cardigan and threw candies into the audience with a big grin on his face
- after Linda Aoi threw his pick into the direction of the audience, but it came back down right behind his mic (I think the fan was to blame). He eyed the pick with a small frown, gave a short smirk and went to pick it up again while putting a finger up to his lips in a 'psst' sign for the people who noticed this incident and then threw the pick again
- Reita's picks never make it farther then the 7th row XD
- Aoi has this annoying habit of throwing away his picks in one go after the last song and only right in front of his side of the stage, means people in the middle and on the left never have a chance to catch one of his picks
This live was fun to participate in!
Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for Fukuoka!! :D
