It was near 2am...
...and I was spilling guarana soda all over the floor because of another fit of laughter. That's what I call a weekend at Julius' place.
In my post on Friday, I didn't mention I was going to go to his house, did I? I think I forgot; I was so sleepy and groggy, and also anxious for the very hour to leave work and go to the bus station~ My bad huhu. Well, this time not even my mom knew I was going to there. I didn't tell her because she was for sure going to complain that I always go to his house instead of visiting her. She lives three or four cities before the city where Julius lives, if you follow the route of the bus, of course, because the state's country is immense. And if I told her the reason why I went, apart from the obvious - I can never have enough of staying with him and I'm always missing him so much -, she wouldn't give it the importance it actually has, to us. He was waiting for me to go so that we could watch AAA's 2008 Tour together. And not only I was awfully anxious and excited, I couldn't leave him waiting too long; the first thing one has to know about Julius is that AAA is 90% of his life. And AAA, to him, is 70% Nishi and 30% the rest. And within those 70%, at least 30% is compound of Mitsu x Nishi. Haha, it's not really difficult to understand if you read it twice and carefully. lol That quite shows how eager he was to watch this dvd. Also, I took with me DBSK's Camping PB to show him and the "T" Tour, 'cause in this case I wanted to watch it with him even though I had watched it twice before.
Still on Friday, when I arrived there, we stayed watching some SHINee vids he'd ripped from YT, seeing SuJu pics and then Camping's off shot dvd *which also includes It's Stylish's off shot scenes*. Lots of laughs with those. Already on Saturday, we had to wait until his younger brother left the Playstation free for us to watch AAA's dvd. It was around 2pm when he finally did it.

Really. IDEK. I have tears in my eyes right now, oh gosh, I have to say this. I might still love them just as much as I did back in early 2006, or just as much as Julius still does. It's simply undescribable what I feel when I watch their concerts - never mind if it's the 1st Attack, the 2nd, the 3rd and so forth, or how much I miss Yukari until nowadays. When I see them perfoming, it's like plunging in another state of mind. Touches me incredibly. The happiness they make me feel is unmeasurable. There's also the OTP matter, but I'll get there.
Back to the concert, I can't recall if I had ever watched any performance of MIRAGE before, so it was like watching it for the first time, and I reeeeaaally enjoyed it. Great opening. And the next songs were just as great, until KKR. It had everything to displease me. But as if something were telling me to take it easy, it ended up being fun. And wow, for the first time in my life I enjoyed a hot dance between a guy and a girl hehe. That last bit of the song with Mitsu and Chiaki almost hid in the shadows was, indeed, HOT. I even said "Maaaannnn I wish I were Chiaki *____*". The Nishi x Misako parts were okay, you know, it's part of the dance and-- well, Julius had warned me beforehand that I might not like it. Tsk, tsk, I'm not as susceptible as I was before. Some things I've seen lately back me up and reiterate my beliefs. Oh why so cereals. Anyways, DAMN WHERE IS YUKARI WHEN WE NEED HER???? DD8 What is KKR wihtout her, I ask you. =\
Proceeding, I LOVED to watch a normal performance of Kirei na Sora, even though the previous accoustic versions were great *that is, if it had more than one, and I honestly can't remember*, AND the fact they changed back Friday Party's choreography *it had been different from the original since 3rd Attack, and Nishi messed it back then XDD just a little bit though lol*. As for Get Chu!, oh the sweet memories from 5th Attack~ I can fully enjoy this song since then, which is awesome.
Then there's the ACT corner, the trademark of all of AAA's concerts. I don't know what this one was about, except it is obvious that it's about Shin x Chiaki. Just ain't sure if in a romantic or friendly way, but we all can imagine *rolls eyes*. Still, I couldn't have possibly liked it more than I did. Too bad "Q" was split in two, but oh mai gawd, no one told me Shinjiro sang the first lines of SEB alone. It sent me squealing for several minutes, and I don't have to mention the tears of awe. Then, a great yet short performance of Hanabi, which's a song that I really like despite it evidencing the lack of Yukari in the group. IMO, that is. And Chewing Gum.
Sigh.
I'll make it short and comprehensible much: OMG >_____>; I JUST FUCKIN' DIED. NISHI PLAYING THE GUITAR. MITSUHIRO. SHUTA, OMG SHUTA. WAI T___________T WAAAAAIIIIII. AAAARGH.
Shalala was as cute as always, and kyyaaahh I missed seeing it performed in its original too ^__^ The second part of "Q" and the end of the ACT corner. It was worthy very much.
The 2nd part came and it was just splendid. Started very well with Red Soul, another song that I couldn't remember watching it live before, but I did, and it showed AAA's powerful presence of stage. Nothing compared to HRBM, though. Geez, this song is EPIC. It will NEVER get old, and I will NEVER tire of watching its live performances, the concerts' ones specially. It sends wave after wave of electricity to everyone including us watching the dvd. And the add they did in this one was perfect. P.e.r.f.e.c.t. The audience was surely fully captivated by this performance, and they showed it by singing with them when they played with the two sides. So so endearing. I would have dried my insides crying if I were there. Maybe just not as much as with what happened in the next song.
It's now that I turn to repeat: we should have seen it coming.
Winter Lander! is not really a special song to me or anything. I always liked it, more so when Yukari was there to make it blinding hot, but that was about it. After this performance, however, I'll surely never forget it, if not start liking it more. Sigh. How can I say this? Okay. I'll ask a question:
What is a mere dance routine compared to something done by... instinct? Is it only me who thinks there's no comparison at all? By now you may be guessing there was a Mitsu x Nishi moment in this, and of course you're guessing right. There had been one or two others previously, because of course I see it. But wow. Sorry, but my mind refuses to process it in a way I can put in words. It's so simple, but I can't. They have this much power over me, more than anyone else. Then again, I've already said this. Ugh. I don't know. I hope Julius will upload this performance so I can make a gif out of it and post here. Ugh. Argh >____<
On with the concert. Samurai Heart left me with the impression it was too short... was it? Did they cut the song? I think I was still basking in the effects of the previous perf and... sigh. I can't really remember if they did cut the song or not, sorry. The same applies to That's Right, although in this one I'm sure there was nothing left out, but the reminiscence of Yukari right before she left the group... T___T I think I had calmed down to a normal state when BLOOD ON FIRE began, and wow it was so great!! The cameraman wasn't seizuring and finally we could watch a BOF perf properly XPP
What's funny about AAA's concerts encores is that they barely leave the stage, and the audience is already asking for it. LOL It's so unnatural XDD I love their encores nonetheless. Climax Jump is once again part of it, and GAH I JUST LOVE THIS SONG TOO MUCH. The vibe is so good, so energetic, and well the song is really so great. After that they performed Beyond, which I feakin' love to death. No disappointments at all. Love love love. Bokura no Te.... should have been very touching, perhaps if they had performed it last. IMO, it ended being out of place. Like, they didn't want to end with it but didn't want to leave it out either, so they put it there and done. Well, not that I am complaining, BnT is one of my fav songs, and how could it not be. But =\ Well, we have SUNSHINE closing the spectacle, and waahh~~ It was also a very great ending ^___^ They were so cheerful, just like the song needs them to be. Even nowadays I'm still amazed at their disposition. Urata is still in shape! HAHAHA I love you Uratan~<3333
So, my final considerations about this concert: what a glorious experience. AAA features all their concerts high, very high in my 'most impressive concerts' ranking, and each new one seems to get better. The 3rd Attack is still the most remarkable though, but 2008's is definitely a close second IMO. That's basically about improving. Everyone of them have improved. But no one like Shuta. Geez, remembering it brings tears to my eyes again. Not to mention how handsome he was *___* I barely can wait for the 3rd Anniversary's dvd to be released! Julius has a guess it'll be sometime around December, but I dunno. Nevertheless, I hope it'll be, and if he doesn't have money to buy it, I will, and I'll give it to him, and we'll watch it together and aaargh the wait >____>;
Not only of AAA our weekend was made though XDDD On Sunday, we watched the "T" Concert and its off shots~~ I think I'll never have enough of watching it too. Junsu, oh why do you sing this much?? T___T The more I see him singing, more sure I am about him being the best male singer alive, excuse me those who doesn't agree. You don't have to agree. That's my humble opinion, however much sure of it I am. Well, when we finished watching both discs, it was already late at night. We didn't sleep until the time we had to leave to the bus station, at 2:30am, and minutes before that was when I spilled guarana soda, in an attempt to hold back a guffaw and having the liquid in my mouth. lol That's how we are.
On other not-so-unrelated news, my MIROTIC copies have been shipped Saturday night/Sunday morning, according to the confirmation e-mail YA sent me. Great, now I only have to wait... TWO WEEKS >__________< SHIPPING OF DOOM!! I swear if they hadn't done that special sale for both versions of the album, I'd have purchased them on HMV. Sigh. I'm seriously having a hard time being loyal to my copies.
Oh, and also, thanks to Julius, I have one more item on my DBSK collection!! ^_____^ It's their "SHINE" japanese photobook! SO GORGEOUS!!! MISS CHUNNIE'S HAIR!!! JUNSU'S HAIR!!! JAE'S HAIR!!! YUNHO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Min's, well, I always liked it short more than long ^^ But he was so gorgeous anyways. Waahhh so happy! Soon I will have all os their pbs, except the Bonjour Paris ones, simply because it's out of print =\ Who knows, someday it might be re-released ^^; I will take pics of it and post later, kk?
I guess that's it for now~~ see ya!
