Linda ~candydive pinky heaven~
- at the beginning of UNTIL IT BURNS OUT all of them came up to the edge of the stage at the same time
- the audience was going wild when Aoi got doused in pink headlights; it being the main indicator that they would play Sugar Pain after all. Aoi is still being the sexiest during that song. He also swept his hand through his hair and fixed the audience with a hot stare
- Aoi kept gyrating his hips several times and no, not during Filth in the Beauty :)
- at the beginning of Sludgy Cult Aoi looked at Reita and pointed at him, waiting until Reita looked up and did the same in return, nodded his head and turned away; at another point during the song Ruki joined Uruha on the right side of the stage and pressed himself against him
- during Hyena Ruki grabbed Uruha around the neck again and mock-kissed his neck; at the same time Aoi and Reita had their feet propped up on Kai’s drum set and played their instruments
- during Ride with the Rockers Reita and Uruha played together at the center pedestal. Uruha kept looking at Aoi, obviously wanting him to join them but Aoi kept his distance, so Uruha simply decided not to wait any longer but to approach Aoi himself instead. Uruha crouched down a little, kept looking at Aoi and played his guitar a little more enthusiastically, but Aoi did not move an inch and only looked down on him with a small smirk.
Aoi seemingly encountered some technical problems, as he suddenly went missing from the stage and then he hurriedly reappeared. You could not really hear what has been wrong, but he kept discussing with the staff about something right after the song ended. He did not seem particularly concerned, only somewhat confused, so it probably hadn’t been a big deal
- for the last encore Aoi entered the stage with a beer can and shortly bowed to the audience. He then plucked some pics from his mic stand and threw them into the first couple of rows
- Reita ran from one point of the stage to the other side and faced the crowd raising his arms in a ‘c’mon!’ pose XD
- Reita and Aoi were whispering to teach other again several times during the shows and also played at each other
- during the encore Reita faced the audience on Uruha’s side when Aoi came up to him and kept tugging at his jacket’s arm, trying to lift his arm while Reita was actually still playing. Reita did a confused double take at Aoi in surprise and once he fully realized what Aoi was trying to do he quickly punched him in annoyance, telling him to get lost XD
MCs:
Ruki was not able to hear what the audience was screaming at him (‘please come more often!’), so he took out one ear monitor and asked them to repeat, but then everybody was screaming at once, so he laughed and asked for only person to tell him again. There was confusion therefore several people were screaming at the same time. Ruki was adorably confused, turned to Reita and asked him what they were telling him. Reita only shrugged and Ruki turned back to the audience for another try. After a few seconds he suddenly went ‘ah, now I got it!’
Rinlin and I are not sure, but if we understood it correctly the band had not played in Morioka for 7 years and Ruki commented on remembering a much smaller live house in Morioka where they played last time.
Ruki also mentioned something about Morioka and Ride with the Rockers being connected to each other (like being played at that place for the first time), but the other band members kept shaking their heads vehemently
Another time Ruki said something else and Reita slapped his arm and shook his head like telling him ‘no, you idiot!’, Ruki laughed, apparently repeated what he said, because he got slapped again XDD
Ruki said twice that there are 3 more stops ahead of them; both the audience and the other band members sported confused faces, because there are only like 2 at most (Sendai and the final in Yokohama) but whatever
My personal highlight: Mr. Kusaka recognized me again! I was just returning to the main hall at the in-between break when he was passing me by. I said hi and he replied in surprise “oh! you!!”. lol
