Taking note of some people seen at K8's Tokyo Dome show today - Jin (tog with Josh, Fuku-kun etc), Inocchi (of V6), Mizukawa Asami (tog with the two kid actors in Inu wo Kau), Koike Teppei, Sugiura Taiyou, cast members from Yasu's stageplay Trust Ikanee, Masuko of Dohatsuten (composer of Monjai Beat), Nakamura Teppei (director of 8UPPERS, 365nichi Kazoku PV and the concert opening video), Recomen's K-taro etc
Seen previous two days - Kitagawa Yujin of Yuzu and the boss of his record company, Taguchi, Akan Keisatsu staff, Zenkai Girl staff, Sexy Zone members, Yara, Akkun, Ryo's elder bro, Maru's younger sis, lotsa random Johnny Jrs etc

When the album was first announced I wondered why the name 'FIGHT', and then the track 'Fight for the Eight' surfaced and convinced me that it's about the place they're at right now, fighting for things important to them, including the group. Looking at the official logo of the tour, i also like how 'Fight' is just one stroke short of 'Eight'. Like, it's a Fight right now, one year before their big 8th anniversary next year. Their setup outside the dome venues (and also at several 311 disaster-hit areas) also made me see the title from a different dimension. I'm reminded of what they'd said at some press conferences this year and also some of the shows so far. They truly believe that they can do a part to help Japan recover from 311, and one of the ways is to try to bring laughter to the people in a way only K8 can.


"These are flowers that bloomed in the disaster-hit areas. Let's smile along with our friends and counterparts (from those areas).
Believe in the future and FIGHT together with us!! - Kanjani8"
