エロP IS LITERALLY THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVEN BEEN TO. IT HAS JUST BROUGHT ME SO MUCH HAPPINESS.
So two days after my first amazing EroP experience, I returned to Yokohama Arena for Yamapi’s final performance there. My friend and I were just leaving the Seven Eleven next to the arena when I noticed that a lot of people were sitting down behind the railings blocking the doors to the arena. We asked one of the staff what was going on and he was so nice to us and said “I’m really not supposed to tell you this, but Yamapi is going to come outside so you should probably go sit over there”. We thanked him a million times and then ran to the gates and miraculously we were able to sit right up front. I took out my “I came here from America” uchiwa and we waited in the blistering heat for him to come out. When he finally did, everyone screamed as he walked by and said hi to everyone. He read my uchiwa again and I’m pretty sure he recognized it because of something that happened later during the MC. He took a megaphone and thanked everyone for coming and then a lot of cameras for magazines and whatnot came out and took pictures of him in front of his fans with an EroP towel. He was so close to me. He has been within 1 meter of me TWICE in three days. It was really exciting. So then we went inside and the concert started and everything was as amazing as 2 days ago, except a lot closer because I was in the Arena “A” area this time! Then the MC came around and he did a lot of impressions again at the request of us screaming fans. He did Lola, Donald, and Sugi-chan! :D Then all of a sudden he said someone special had come today and TACKEY CAME OUT ONTO THE STAGE. TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. It was so amazing. He helped Yamapi in picking people to ask questions. But while Yamapi stayed in the center area, TACKEY CAME INTO THE ARENA! He was so close to me. I was close to crying. After a little while, Yamapi announced that someone else had come to see him. IKUTA TOMA!!!! He didn’t come to the stage, but he was sitting in his seat in the stands (for press and famous people and whatnot) AND HIS SEAT WAS SO CLOSE TO MY SECTION OF THE ARENA SO I COULD SEE HIS FACE AND EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. After seeing how close Toma was and how shy he looked when Yamapi pointed him out, I lost it and started crying my eyes out. I couldn’t stop for a full 10 minutes. My emotions were just everywhere and I couldn’t hold it all in! Yamapi also told us that one of the juniors from Bakaleya was there, but as I was crying, I couldn’t really hear the name and I could only see the top of his head from my seat. So then Tackey returned to his seat next to Toma (and put on glasses which made him look so damn adorable) and Yamapi did some more of the MC by himself. Then he said that he noticed that a couple people from overseas had come to his concert. My friend and I flipped out and screamed “I CAME HERE FROM AMERICA” waving my uchiwa like crazy. He then said “Thank you very much” in his adorable English and I died. In two nights, I was able to shake Yamapi’s hand and look into his eyes twice, then see him up close again, see Tackey fairly close, see Toma fairly close, see five juniors from Bakaleya, and be (kind of) mentioned and acknowledged by Yamapi! I AM SUCH A HAPPY PERSON RIGHT NOW. I cannot wait to go to Tackey, Matchy-san, and Sexy Zone’s concert/Hanabi event on the tenth! (Maybe Yamapi will show up…)
