Cashing The Nino Fund: Arashi No Waku Waku Gakkou 15 July 2012 Morning Session Fan Report

Sep 16, 2012 02:09

Today is Arashi's anniversary :) (well, technically yesterday, but nevermind XD)

The time has finally come to post this report. Sorry for posting it so late, I typed it into a pendrive and left it some where, and got it back only yesterday. I wrote this report over one week, so please excuse the differences in tension and my failing memory towards the end.

I hope this makes some one smile :) Here we go!

I can’t believe that I’m writing a concert report… XD

I went! I went! I went to Waku Waku Gakkou In Osaka today!!!!!!!

Yatta!

So, here goes my very first and probably last Arashi Live report <3

So, I’ve arrived in Osaka, got my ticket, left my mother alone in the hotel, armed with a green uchiwa with a letter A on it, my jacket, a Kaibutsukun badge, and a 24 Hour TV badge.

Got onto the monorail to go to Kyocera Dome, it was about 8am or so. Arashi fangirls were everywhere! In the station, in the train, when we changed lines, and I heard some of the other passengers who didn’t look like fans talking about how it must be right before the ‘Arashi Live’. I felt so much of love at that time XD

The Japanese fans are so…. Interesting, to say the least :) Gotta respect them though, they put a lot of work into their appearance. There was this one parent and child pair talking to a pair of high school girl fans next to me, the little girl and her mother were admiring a Yama Taro Mimura Kun bear one of the high school girls was holding. They started talking, and found out that the little girl (about 5) likes Matsujun! XD Then the train arrived at the stop we were to get off at, and the Mimura kun girl told the little girl that she will soon meet with Matsujun <3

Then! Got out of the station, the whole bunch of us! XD There were creepy looking old men waiting in the middle of the path murmuring “Ticketo aru yo…” Scary…

When I got to the stadium, the place was filled with people! I didn’t have time to get the goods because the line was crazy long! It trailed onto the lower ground! And the time was 8.45, so I went to look for my gate number and waited in line (there were many lines per gate) with everyone else.

9am, entered! I was the only one in my section XD I was too afraid to leave to go buy goods, in case I missed anything. It was a big stadium. Maybe slightly bigger than Bukit Jalil’s Stadium Putra? The field is definitely bigger than the Stadium Putra’s centre XD And the ceiling was so very high too. I can’t tell if it was sunlight illuminating inside the stadium or just lights, because it was really bright, as in white light bright (compared to Stadium Putra which is illuminated by yellow lights).

The Waku Waku stage is the same as the one in other previous reports, with a school building (? or clock tower?) with a left hand holding a bell. A screen sheet was covering the stage (where the lessons are held), so the school building looked cylindrical.

The principals pictures on the front - left side of the stadium, above the upper level seats, with Ohno Principal being the only one with long hair, and Sho Principal being the only one smiling. They were individually framed pictures, and were HUGE! From my view, one picture frame was as big as one section of seats! Although this might have been a visual trick my own eyes played on me XD

On the front - right side of the stadium was the sign, “Hibi Kore Kizuki”.

There were 5 amazingly huge light beams on both left and right of the stadium, all being aimed at the stage, one person manning each. Don’t know why, but I got excited when I first saw the lights XD

For two hours I idled my time away by looking at the other fans costumes and admiring the professionalism of the staff for wearing suits XD The seats were filling up steadily. My seat was near one of the entrances, and gosh it was so much fun watching girls enter the stadium squealing XD

Then a Russian fan came and sat next to me, and we got talking abit. This is her second show, she went for 14th’s session and going to go for 15th’s evening session too. Truly amazing…

I expected Arashi songs to be played while the seats were filling up, but instead they were playing old English songs, I didn’t recognise most of them except two, which were “Now That The Love Has Gone” & “Don’t Talk To Strangers” Somehow Arashi seemed really stylish at that point XD

Starting from 10.00 am, announcements were being made every 15 minutes or so. Couldn’t really understand them ^^;

By 10.50 all the seats were full. Seriously. What a sight! I started tearing, luckily the girl next to me didn’t notice, I hope…. I can’t begin to imagine how Kokuritsu would look, and at concert time!

At exactly 11, the hand holding the bell moved and it rang. God, what an uproar! We were all screaming XD That was the first time I first felt Arashi’s popularity all the time I was in Japan.

Then the VTRs started, Jun first, while training, and he saw the Waku Waku Gakkou logo on a black guy’s shirt, and did the most cutest unbelievably shocked face. Then he transformed into purple sensei and teleported.

Next was Aiba kun, I think? Filming for Mikeneko, then the logo was in his bento. He then transformed into green sensei and teleported.

I think next is Sakurai Sho kun. He was doing a presentation at News Zero, I cant remember what the presentation was on, *fail* but then the logo came up on the huge Zero screen, and as each Arashi outdoes the other, he made a painfully cute face before transforming to red sensei and teleporting. I also seem to remember him doing a superhero pose, but I’m not very sure….

Ninomiya next! He was playing a game in a bus while in transit, then he looked out the window and saw the logo on a building, I don’t think he made a shocked face, but I love him tonnes anyways, and transformed into yellow sensei and teleported.

Ohno Captain was in a meeting in Kagiheya mode and was pouring sugar into his coffee, which did a backward spin into the Waku Waku Gakkou logo, it reminded me of the D No Arashi Gyakukaiten days <3 Then he transformed into Blue sensei and teleported.

During the whole length of the VTR, the hairs on my arms were standing on end, everybody was screaming and excited!

Then all the 5 teleportation lights came together and flew over a Japan like city view, and what do you know, they flew straight to the Osaka Dome! The Osaka Dome has a very distinguishable roof, and I thought that was really cool that they made the video specially for it XD

Then the screen showed the 5 backstage, they were standing in a white hallway. AND! Nino had cut his hair! That was my first biggest memory of the whole Waku Waku Gakkou that day XD Probably the whole stadium had noticed his new hairdo immediately, as the girls around me were screaming that he had cut his hair XD

Then they started running, and everyone panicked, where are they coming from?! And after a while, they came out below my right side, and they ran up to the stage. It was Arashi! And they were like… 50 meters away? I don’t know why, but all of a sudden I felt really vulnerable XD Even though its them in the spotlight.

I watch Arashi on video alot, and come the live, I thought they would sound and look different, but it appears that the DVDs we buy have excellent quality, because they sound and look the same as on DVD XD (Or maybe, because I was watching them on screen? Yosh! Next goal: To somehow get in a situation where I don’t have to see Arashi on a screen! ) XD

Then they did the customary Kiritsu, Rei & Chakseki led by Ohno sensei. All of the audience got up and followed too!

Then they were talking abit, and Ohno started with the “Did You Notice” of the day. The other members stated that it would be difficult for us to have found out, and they started a video.

It showed the stadium surrounding area, and moved onto a nearby bridge. There were girls in colourful Arashi fan costumes holding their uchiwas and walking on the bridge. This was at about 8am. Come a little lower, and there appeared to be a boat under the bridge, with a man fishing on it. He was wearing a cap. With cameras filming him.

Obviously, it was Captain Ohno XD we started screaming, lol. He was in such an accessible place! XD

Then Ohno san asked who had noticed his fishing boat, and a few hands went up here and there. Ohno then admitted that he did hear one faint voice when he was in the boat calling out “Ohno kun~!” XD

Then, they started with the days lessons! :D

First up was Nino’s Kachi Kachi. The moment he took up the Sensei pose, the other members started commenting on his hairstyle, Sho asked him if he was trying to look like Kikkawa Koji XD (because the back of his head closely resembles the musician’s).

So, Nino asked Aiba san to help him out with what he was going to do. At first, Nino looked like he was a little reluctant to accept Aiba’s help, and Aiba kept asking why, then after some hard deliberation, Nino said it was because Aiba was an idiot XD Gah, I love them! XD

So, Aiba was asked to read a sign that came up on screen, I think they were in katakana characters. He read it fast and smooth. Then Nino thanked him, and then we took a look at the screen again, and some of the characters had actually been jumbled up within the same word, and Aiba said he had not noticed. For example, the word was written as “Ko-chi-ni-wa”, but Aiba san read it as “Konnichiwa”. I’m sorry, it sounds really drab here, but was hilarious when it actually happened XD

That was our first Kachi Kachi lesson. Next involved water guns! Oooh, the expectations! XD

There were two small water guns and two big ones. Everyone wanted the bigger ones, of course. But Nino chan made everyone stand at a distance from the guns on the table before they made a grab for them. Then he did that “Starto” & “Yoi! Starto!” thing and annoyed Matsujun XD When it was finally the right time to go get them, Leader and Matsujun ended up with the smaller guns and Sho & Aiba had gotten the bigger ones.

Sho started shooting from his big gun, and what do you know? It spurted water towards the back! He didn’t notice and kept shooting, wondering why there wasn’t any water coming out. Aiba was standing behind him and was yelling “Samui! Samui!” XD Sho kun noticed it then, but kept on doing it anyways XD

Then the screen showed Juntoshi standing watching the two and they charged forward with their own two small guns (which was really very low pressure, and didn’t have much water in it to begin with!) XD Aiba and Sho then tried shooting with their guns turned backwards XD Ah… what fun XD

Once everyone had calmed down and returned the water guns, Nino brought out four red balls and said “Lets run!” XD Then the complaining started and Matsujun was asking Nino chan if he had planned anything weird XD Then the members were discussing what number would be the best to get. The numbers would ofcourse be decided on what numbered ball they received. I thought Nino was going to put the balls in a box and ask them to pull one out each, but instead he suddenly threw them up in the air! They bounced everywhere and Arashi panicked trying to catch them! XD

Then they moved to take their position at their respective numbers. I got Ohno kun!!!! <3 We were all waving madly at him and calling out, but he was looking down and at the stage the whole time XD Sho and Matsujun waved to the audience <3 Matsujun happened to be the 4th runner and had to reach the goal. There was a proper tape and a goal line on the tracks, but he asked anyway, where is the goal XD To which, Nino answered, wherever Matsujun thought it was XD <3 <3

With the Yoi, Starto! Ohno kun in front of me started running, (he is SO pretty…) and next was Aiba kun, who ran over to Sho kun, who ran to Matsujun, but didn’t slap his hand properly (as there was no baton to pass), and Matsujun didn’t run full out until Sho properly slapped his hand (Sho later mentioned this as part of Matsumoto kun’s diligence XD). So, Matsujun started running towards the goal line, and as he got closer, IT MOVED!! What a sight! And it was fast as well, lol, but Matsujun caught up with it at around Ohno kun’s place. The poor darling was out of breath and didn’t talk for a while, haha!

The other members started bombarding Nino though, and it was quite funny to watch the goal moving back and forth while they were talking XD Then Nino said, “But Matsujun had properly passed the goal.” Then we turned to Matsujun who had remained silent all this while, still on the tracks. He said, “Come to think of it, there was GOAL written somewhere on the ground..” And of course, there was <3, at the place the tape originally was before it moved XD Then Nino asked Matsujun what was written on the tape. “Gambatte Gambatte!” was written on it XD

All tired out, the members returned to the stage and their seats. A door had appeared on the stage while we were having fun with the running. Again, Aiba kun was asked to help, when he turned the knob, he couldn’t pull or push it open, and Nino said that Aiba had already learned how to open the door. I thought he was going to slide it to the side, (like in Tokyo Dome, I think?), but instead, this door had to be pushed up! Aiba san had to lift the door up with both hands and one shoulder XD it was heavy. Then Ninomiya kun summed up his lesson.

Next was Aiba! :D With Paku Paku!!

As Aiba kun wanted to change from his Sensei outfit to his Sushi shop owner outfit, he told the members that he could do it in 5 seconds, compared to the time he took before. He actually had on his sushi man outfit under the sensei coat and just had to put on his sushi man cap, it took him 3 seconds XD

Aiba’s laugh sounds the same…  and his smile! *dies inside*

The members then walked to the sushi shop stage, all the while saying they were hungry, and they sat in the order of Nino, Ohno, Matsujun & Sho. I know its pretty light, but I got Ohmiya fangirl high when Nino would sometimes put his foot on the rung on the bottom of Ohno’s chair XD

So! The first sushi that they were doing was something with Aji in it! I think the question was something about why aji is called aji, or something like that.  I can’t remember who got the right answer either.

Then it was time for the next sushi, Aiba asked what the members wanted to eat next, and everyone started shouting different things, all of which Aiba said was wrong XD (Aiba is the only shop owner who can deny his customers what they want to eat XD)

When nobody could guess it right, Aiba sensei announced the turn of Anago kun. Apparently it’s a difficult fish to find, and the Paku Paku video showed Aiba going and joining two fisherman who fished for anago. The fisherman had put the traps out earlier, and now they were going to haul them up with Aiba kun, and eat their catch.

There were SO MANY traps, and they had to haul out each one. It looked heavy as well. They kept hauling them up, but no luck, all the traps were empty. Then one of the fisherman apologised to Aiba and said he had to work so hard, and not be able to get any anago. Aiba kun said its okay, there are some days like this, and he kept on hauling them up <3

Then they came to last trap, which was also empty, much to the disappointment of the stadium audience (or maybe just me XD). Aiba kun and the fishermen were very disappointed as well, and then they caught something else and had a barbecue, I think they were clams or something else in a shell XD

The place where they had set out the traps were very near to the Haneda Airport (I landed there!) and the planes were taking off and landing very close to where they were having the barbecue. It was a real pretty sight too :)

All the while during this anago stretch, pictures of Aiba & Sakana kun would come up sparingly, with Aiba wearing an anago on his head to match Sakana kun XD

On to the next sushi~ for some reason, when Aiba sensei asked them what they wanted, they didn’t rush in this time altogether, only Ninomiya kun shouted excitedly “Ebi!” XD so high tension, this kid! <3

I think the question was which Ebis caught was the least tastiest, like if they were caught on a rainy night, or a cloudy night, or full moon, etc.

Arashi thought and thought and thought. Matsujun looked like he was thinking especially hard, and he asked for them to wait, the other members said that he was trying to become an ebi to understand their feelings and find out the answer XD They called him Ebi Jun! XD

Then Jun chose that the least tastiest prawns are those caught on a stormy night, because they’d be scared, and therefore not tasty XD

I think none of them had the right answer to this one, so Sensei ate it.

Then Aiba summed up the Paku Paku.

Next was Sho sensei! Sho started talking, and no sound came out, because he left his mike around his neck and forgot to fix it on XD (trust me when I say it was hilarious. Serious, it was) XD Again, Aiba’s smile here~~~ *dies*

They started first with all members opening regular plastic drinking bottles. *Fangirl insert: Arashi is holding a plastic bottle just like mine!!!!!* XD Aiba opened his bottle and drank straight away, but the other four held back, and then the four did the “Ru-nei-sans~! thing with Sho kun leading, and then they drank it XD Matsujun said it looked like Sho wanted to do it, because he couldn’t do it the previous day, haha. Then Aiba apologised for drinking so fast and not noticing that Sakurai sensei wanted to do the impersonation <3

Goku Goku had the familiar shower machine brought up (it was really big, by the way), and it was Matsujun’s turn to take a shower (Woohoo, I get to see Matsujun give himself a shower XD) The doll (I think it was inflated?) had Matsujun’s face on a mask, and it was wearing purple underwear XD

The remaining three members were put to bucket duty, and I got Aiba!!!! *waves like crazy without taking notes* Aiba and the fountain were in front of us, while Captain went to the pool on the left side, and Nino chan to the pool on the right.

So then the three started running up and down, carrying buckets, which is actually a lot more fun to watch than it sounds. XD

It might be just my imagination, but it looked like Aiba kun, Ohno san & Nino san were doing the minimum they had to XD and the shower machine reached the emergency stage about three or four times, all of which only one member would go save Matsujun XD Even Matsujun looked like he was purposely taking it slow XD

But! When the shower was done, and Sakurai sensei was counting the buckets, what do you know, he only used 11 Arashi!! Nobody knew how that happened XD

After they finished counting the Arashis used, Matsujun took off his raincoat only to find that his shirt was completely wet, nobody knew how that happened either XD

Sakurai sensei then asked a question, I didn’t understand what it was, and some hands in the audience went up. Then second, he asked how many people had showered this morning. Surprisingly, very few audience members raised their hands, and what shocked me even more was that only Aiba and Jun kun raised theirs on the stage! I admire the three Arashi for not showering before coming in to work…. XD

Then Sensei asked how many people brushed their teeth, I think everyone’s hand went up here XD And then Aiba started sharing his teeth brushing ritual, he said he uses only one cup, and keeps on brushing the entire time he’s in the shower! The audience all went “EEEh~?!” here, and shocked Aiba san XD All of a sudden he looked so insecure and cute!

Then Sakurai sensei summed up by sharing with us all how much water is used to make curry rice (including growing the rice & vegetables, etc) , to make a tshirt, and a few other stuff.

When Sensei was talking about how many Arashis it took to make a tshirt, the screen showed a bored looking boy of about 10 in the audience, a boy who was wearing a tshirt. Then Sakurai Sensei turned to the boy in the audience and said “Yes, that tshirt that you’re wearing… Do you know that you’re being filmed?” XD The boy showed no response. I’m amazed that Sensei knew which part of the stadium the boy was seated!

Then was Jun sama’s turn! Yay~ with Somo Somo!

Jun Sensei started with the somo somo of the pencil!

Then he said that he wanted to ask help of a parent child pair, and so many hands went up, calling out to him, there was one mother daughter pair next to me, and the little girl was so excited XD Sadly for her, Jun Sensei was looking into the parent child seats on his left side. He stared hard and long, his face so pretty on the screen, I could cry.

Then he pointed and narrowed to a mother. She was wearing a horizontally striped shirt, and Jun Sensei called her Border No Okaasan XD He originally picked her with her daughter (who was hidden by a boy in the seat in front of her, she was so small XD - maybe about 6?) but it turned out that there was also a son present on the other side of Border No Okaasan.

Jun first thought that the little girl was a boy (she had short hair and didn’t look frilly - btw, 90% of all little girls I saw in Japan this time were FRILLY), then the mother corrected him and said that she was a girl. At that moment, Jun san smiled so big, as if to cover the embarrassing situation, like he didn’t know what to say for calling a girl a boy XD But he continued after a few seconds, sparing the little girl any embarrassment.

Then Jun Sensei asked what their names were and if they knew why they were named as such. He asked the girl, and she just looked at the mother once and turned back to Sensei and blinked XD Sho kun then asked if she was sleepy, and said that it was okay if she was, because he understood. XD (poor Sho san, thinking that the Gakkou is boring for the kids)

Okaasan then gave her children’s names. Jun Sensei then asked the boy if he knew his name’s origins (he was a few years older than his sister). This kid took the mike, and thought, and looked at his mother, and thought again, then whispered something at her. This took some time, and Sensei started getting excited, saying “Tell me too!” XD Then finally, he said he didn’t remember, haha.

So the mother proceeded to explain, I didn’t get much of what she was saying, but it looks like the sister’s name was inspired by the brother’s. At some point during this exchange, the little girl started waking up and was getting more excited as her mother spoke XD So would I if my mom was speaking about me to Matsujun!

They spoke for quite a while. Then Jun Sensei introduced a video of a family - with a father, a pregnant mother and a little daughter about 3. Then there was an interview between Sensei and the family. Don’t remember much of it, but they seemed to have opted for a natural birthing at a midwife’s clinic and the father and mother had completely different ideas on the names XD

Then came the day for the baby to be born. It seemed to be at night, and the mother was alone at home with the daughter. I think the video was showing the time when they had just arrived at the midwife’s clinic. The mother looked to be in incredible pain, and was carrying the little girl too. Luckily someone came to help her then.

Then more footage of the mother having contractions, and the little girl was with her too, she seemed ok, I guess she didn’t realize what was happening. Then the father came, and both the father and daughter supported her during the birth.

When the second daughter was finally born, everybody was happy and in tears. Then a staff asked the crying father what are you going to name her? And he immediately answered his chosen name from before XD

I think Sensei came to the midwifes clinic at 6 in the morning, the baby was born and everyone was happy :) They pretty much focused on the pain the mother went through during labour.  Then there was a letter from a member’s mother, I was SO waiting for this! XD It was Aiba’s mom! Aiba kun looked really shocked XD By this time, the lights had come on and what do you know, the stage had reversed! (The podium was on the left side in the beginning, and now it’s on the right) I guess it revolved during the video XD

So! Jun Sensei started reading the letter, or rather, it seemed to be a question and answer with Aiba kun’s mother. Aiba san’s face was in perpetual shock the whole time XD I didn’t understand much of what was said, and remember even less :( I think there was one question where his mother was asked about her labour difficulties. She said it was strange, but she didn’t remember the difficulty of it at all. While Jun Sensei was reading Aiba’s mother’s letter, the stage revolved back slowly to the original position XD

Then Jun san stepped off and Ohno san stepped up! GERA GERA! Another thing I’ve been looking forward to :D

All this while, Ohno san NEVER opened his mouth or did anything until he was asked to, but now, it was like a totally different person! XD Ohno Sensei then started talking, (can’t remember what he said! *cries*) Then he said he had a song to sing. Arashi looked to be cracking up before he even started XD It was the laughing song. A strange song, didn’t understand it, his voice was off pitch, but I loved it! XD

Then there was a video of Ohno Sensei going to see a doctor, and they were talking about real laughs and faked laughs, and the effect it would have on our brain. So, Ohno Sensei got strapped in with wires attached to his head (I can’t begin to tell you how funny that looked XD) and he started “Hah - Hah - Hahing” XD the monitor showed some brain activity, some parts lit up in red. Then, the strapped in Ohno was put in front of a TV, which seemed to be showing a monkey documentary (why they chose this for the experiment I have no idea XD). Anyways, Ohno kind of snorted at regular intervals instead of laughing out loud, which was insanely cute. The monitor showed that the same brain activity happened whether he was laughing for real or not.

Then, Ohno Sensei said he was going to Gera Gera Beam all of us (Yay! XD) Then started lah the Gera Gera dance, haha. All of Arashi did it with him, going around the perimeter of the stage. Oh! And he didn’t use his armpits (or elbows) this time XD The stadium was big, and the gera gera dance was long XD *I got hit by the gera gera beam!* The dance was different from last year, it looked like something you’d see in a dikir barat, (well, not exactly dikir barat, but close XD)

Then Matsujun (?) said that all the audience can probably go home and do this to our friends in school. Then Sensei said that if we could all Gera Gera him, then we were ready to go out and do it. So the audience all started to do the same dikir barat move, all focussed onto Ohno Sensei! XD It looked crazy XD So then, Sensei was supposed to raise his arms, and laugh right? But Sensei just stood there, his face super grouchy, staring straight into the camera. Plus he was highlighted by the yellow spotlight on top of that XD We continued doing it till it got awkward and then Matsujun came and hit Sensei on the head with a clipboard XD Only then he laughed XD

So once the yellow Gera Gera Beam was done, the members seemed to be commenting on how everyone participated in it. Then they got ready to do find the member with the best smile. The order was first Sho & Aiba, then Nino & Jun. Aiba smiled that amazing smile *drowns in my own tears* and Sho kun did this totally weird thing where he pulled back his upper lip against his teeth, and that passed for his smile XD The girls around me were screaming “Kawaii!” LOL The winner was Aiba kun.

Then came Nino & Jun’s turn. While Nino and Jun were taking their place in front of the camera, they were hesitating about something, and it turned out that Sho kun was in their shot (I didn’t notice him at all! XD) It might have been purely coincidental though, because he didn’t seem to be doing anything funny.  Then Ohno Sensei tried to subtly tell him to get out of the way XD Which he did, just to come back in again <3 this time he stood behind them and crossed his arms, staring straight into the camera! He looked so hot and buffed up at that moment…. *wipes drool off face* So then they gave up trying to chase him away and took the picture of the three. Matsujun won! Yay!

So now it was a battle between Aiba kun & Jun kun. Beautiful smiles, very beautiful. Only in the background, Nino & Sho were sitting at the seats, totally coming into the shot XD Aiba and Jun discussed this for abit, and gave up after a while. Then they ended up with Nino standing stick straight in between Jun and Aiba’s heads, and Sho kun was doing something…. Just can’t remember what…. The winner was Aiba!

Then Ohno Sensei was saying that Aiba would now battle against the Smile Master (or something like that) who was very popular and known in Osaka. The members started getting interested and asked who is this Osaka Smile Master. Unsurprisingly, it was Ohno <3 He spoke a little weird when he had assumed the master role, couldn’t understand what he was saying.

When the two got in front of the camera, Aiba kun smiled pretty, and Ohno did a weird Maou smile, which had the audience going kyaa~! XD And of course, in the background the other three were messing around <3 Sho and Jun were dancing XD and I couldn’t remember what Ninomiya kun was doing. All the audience were going crazy X3 Aiba turned out as the winner! Yay!

So we’ve now come to the end. They spoke for a few minutes, and then introduced the Gakkou Furusato song. I had prepared for this :3

So the five stood on the stage, singing. They were LOUD. It didn’t sound like any recording, so I’m pretty sure it was their original voices. Just… they were LOUD XD I had to scream out the words to hear myself. After one half of the song, the members all came down, another scream inducing occurrence! Five members went five different ways, and I got Nino! <3 He looked so shiny…. New hairstyle and all…. XD

I don’t know what it was, but at that moment, it was so touching. Nino singing and waving up at us, we screaming down at him…. *sigh*I was so sure that Nino could see me and every one of us. He didn’t look cool, or pull any cute moves or anything. He just waved and waved and waved. Small movements, normal ones. I liked him so much at that time :)

Anyways, the trains came then, and Sho Nino Aiba got onto one, and Ohno Jun got onto the other. They crossed in front of my seat section <3 Everyone was waving madly. Hands, penlights, uchiwas, all. Oh, and the lights were on the whole time the song was sung. After they got off the trains, they started heading toward a door in the field’s upper right corner.

Bye Bye Arashi :)

After Arashi left, the screen showed a video of Arashi drawing the Hibi Kore Kizuki sign. Then the audience started to leave. Mind you, some left just before Furusato started….. Why???! XD

After I got out of the stadium, it was around two something. Which was quite shocking, the event went by in a flash, when it was nearly three hours long! So, the afternoon session crowd were in the stadium grounds, as well as the morning session. There were a lot of people. Also, in the crowd I saw a girl wearing a tudung, and I got excited thinking that another Malaysian had taken up my Nino Fund plan too XD

Then I went to the goods line (it wasn’t very long now), and bought a Ninomiya Clear File.

And that was that. :)

After I came back from Japan, Arafes was announced. How I wished Arafes was announced before I went to Waku Waku Osaka, because I'm totally broke now XD Anyways, I hope some of you get to go for Arafes. There's been some people asking me about getting tickets, so that's a good sign! :D Good Luck all of you!
