I met Alicia and Krystel at Outram Park MRT at 6.30am (Early much!! But I was going with them and the ASSG people, so I just went early too... I think two of their fanclub members actually went to queue since last night! But the first in the queue were LM.C fangirls I think...) Throughout the entire time, we basically just did stuff like guess the song that a guy was playing from his iPod and speakers, ate and ate and ate, and the few TJ people there studied. |D I can't believe I managed to do my Physics ten years series there!
Anyway, when it was around 7+pm, the security checks began, everyone basically rushed to the counters and then RAN into universal studios (we were not allowed to go in until the park's attractions closed, since we are not paying to play the rides). IT WAS INSANE LOL. Random tourists in the park were like staring at all the people running. I didn't even know where I was supposed to go! I just ran wherever I saw people running, then I saw the ASSG people already standing at the front row in front of the stage with their After school banner already set up in front of the barricade. Fanboys are fast. So I was standing with a TJ AS fan (I knew her just hours ago), and I was like omg I think I'm so excited I'm about to burst ;w;
Before the performances, they were playing random Jpop/Jrock/Kpop songs like Ikenai Taiyou and Binguel Binguel. They played Gackt's Vanilla too! But the Jrock fans around me didn't seem to know that song. I thought that it was a classic???
It started with a Tenko performance which was really long. It was interesting~ There were cute little boys hitting on the drums~
Then of course, there was SuG~
Chiyu coming on stage~! (Bad picture... because I'm bad at taking photographs of anything moving |D)
And that's the back of the head of a photographer... >_<;;;
And that fuzzy looking thing at the bottom is the top of the speaker under flash |D I was standing right in front of a speaker. I think my eardrums almost died.
Otherwise, OMG I LOVEEEEE THE FRONT ROW. Thanks to the ASSG guy, I got to stand in front for SuG and LM.C lives ;w;
Some live pictures!
Setlist:
((intro)) million $ orchestra (but I'm not too sure about this, can't really remember)
1. gr8 story
2. Koakuma sparkling
3. 39GalaxyZ
Chiyu was very action hahaha! For quite a large portion of time, he was standing at the back, so I saw more or Chiyu and Takeru, but there were times when he came to the front and teased the crowd.
Chiyu: *makes eye contact with me then blows a kiss*
Zhennie: *stones* Did... did Chiyu just do something?
Zhennie: *looks around and realises that the first row ASSG people were all staring at her* OMG IT REALLY HAPPENED?!
Takeru while he was doing his MC. He spoke in Chinese!! Like, "大家好,我们是SuG." Then went on to ask the audience in English if they know visual kei, and said that visual kei is a Japanese tradition. Then he said that last night, he was watching Pocket Monsters "like you know, Pokemon?" and he said that it's a Japanese tradition, so visual kei is just like that AHAHAHAHA And he made us say "We are SuG" or something... But the sad thing was that I think the SuG fans were not loud enough to get them to come back for an encore after those three songs. ;A; Even though their version of encore in Sundown festival = just one extra song, I wish they came back on stage. Sigh. They only did three songs and left, as compared to F.Cuz and After school who performed more songs and even had interviews! I guess they are more Kpop biased 8|
After them, F.Cuz performed. To be honest, I've always skipped their performances when I'm checking the weekly Music Bank/Music Core/Inkigayo/M countdown. But I guess they aren't bad live... They sang the Chinese version and Korean version of Jiggy out of the four songs they did. AND THAT BLONDE GUY LOOKS HOT. Kan, I think. He don't have much singing parts, but he seems to can't stop smiling |D
After school was the third to perform when I actually expected them to be the last (since I thought they really really have the most fans). DUDE GAHEE'S STOMACH IS SO TONED LA I'M AMAZED I WILL WORK TOWARDS THAT SOMEDAY. And of course the ASSG people just went insane. My first time experiencing fanboys in such close proximity. :o
Last but not least, LM.C~! While the staff were setting up their instruments, I was talking to a random LM.C fan standing next to me. They took suuuper long >: (or maybe we were just impatient) I was already half dying then. My back was aching (I'm so old now ;A;), my legs were aching... But LM.C were fun live~ I LIKED THE MASKED MEN AND THE FLAGS 8D And Rock the LM.C was fun! For encore, they just did whatever song that the fans wanted (Boys & Girls).
Then there was the finale part where everyone just got on the stage. They played music in the background, so F.Cuz guys were like clapping to the beat right. Masato was also clapping. So Yuji saw it and he pointed at him to the other members and they sort of teased him or something |D. And they were all interacting with the fans and posing for photographs. They were actually standing next to some angmoh models (who modelled for like Triumph which was one of the sponsors? It was really out of place, like, why are you trying to promote lingerie at a music festival ahahaha). It was a summer collection so one of the models was actually holding onto a water gun right, so Shinpei borrowed it from her and tried to squirt at the fans |D But it was pretty much out of water anyway~ And towards the end, streams of glittery paper came out from the edge of the stage with a loud sound and pretty much all of SuG were surprised. XD Especially Chiyu ahaha! He was like trying to talk to a random model about being surprised by the loud sound or something |D
Well well, it was fun~ Now I really need to sleep (I have Math tuition tomorrow morning *cri*)
