Bits and bobs from 2nd day concert of AAA 2008 in Taipei
- Aiba-chan saw me!!!!! I was sitting in 2A block next to stage, wearing blonde wig with uchiwa writing "Thai" in Japanese. He was waving and giving peace to everyone when Aiba-chan stopped and looked at me before waving. I think my blonde wig striked him *lol*
- During Yabai-Yabai-Yabai, I think the staff miscalculated the length between Jun and the stage as his hands touched the stage a bit when he was dropped from the top at the begining of the song (heart almost attacked - think more safety!)- MC: they all made jokes of Sho-chan's dancing in Yes? No? since Sho was the last in line and didn't do much (they said he danced like a primary school kid - LOL ) so everyone was doing the dance move (with hands) without Sho first, then Sho was asked to do his (which is NOTHING - LOL - poor Sakurai). And Aiba-chan kept talking without letting the translator say anything so Jun teased which stopped him. The translator which i think she did a great job although i couldnt understand a word, translated everything from begining that Aiba-chan said. I can see on screen that Aiba-chan said "Sugoii". Also, Aiba-chan cannot pronounced "Xiao Long Bao" properly so he asked translator to teach him to pronounce it.
Information overloaded at the moment so let me digest first :o)
P.s. I need to tell you all....seriously, these five guys are the most gorgeous people ever, esp. Sho-chan (LOL - okay, bias!)

my seat for 2nd day concert, overlooking the front stage
[Proper report from my little brain - sorry if this isn't good report at all]
The concert started off with clips showing how this AAA 2008 tour began from Stadium concert in Tokyo with some clips (and many screaming from us fans - LOL) and then "Love so sweet" began. I tried to find where they came from on the first day, turned out they have this hanging stage lowering them down from the screens in box shape. They were so lively and i was so happy to hear one of my fave song. Then they sang "Oh yeah!" and of course, Jun-kun told us to jump - I was happily to follow his intruction anyway *lol*
They moved on to the side for "Life Goes On" (Sho-chan and Oh-chan on the left side if facing the stage and the rest on the right) - the dance routine was easily to follow so if you are going to see them, you won't miss out! "Step and go" was just awesome!!!!!!!! So many ShoxAiba staring moments *lol* And then they did some greetings; Sho-chan first as his solo was next, then Nino, Aiba, Oh-chan and Jun-kun. "Hip Pop Boogie" started from the back stage and Sakurai was just damn gorgeous - seriously he has the "aura", i think he looks better in real life than in mag or TV (and those who think he is already good looking - just imagine he is topping that!). I was pretty much amazed with Sho-chan's dance. I mean, duh, he is definitely good dancer - i mean all in Johny's should. But I guess, because the newscaster image of Sho just stuck in my mind so I forgot that he is just awesome when it comes to dancing. Anyway, he danced his way from back stage to center stage and front stage. I think Arashi and their team are really smart in making playlist and how to move them around the arena that all fans get glimpse of their fave ones coz even people who sat behind the front stage and those on the top stands, they also got a fair share of fanservices and good performances like the whol arena.
"Carnival Night" was very fun (and that was when Aiba-chan saw me *hahaahh* seriously, i dun want to think of that myself but eyewitnesses from my friends also assured me that Aiba-chan saw Thai fan *sob* true happiness). I was so glad that I learned the dance step of Carnival Night coz that really made the whole experiences much more fun :o)
During "Sirius", they turned off all lights in arena and you can see the whole arena was filled with lights from penlights and it was the most beautiful thing ever. And Jun-kun's solo verse from Sirius was very beautiful. He didn't go off key AT ALL. It was sooooooooooo beautiful and i am soooooooooo glad they sing this song. I almost cry when I heard that.
Aiba-chan's solo "Hello, Goobye" wasn't on top of my wanted to see list - but it turned out to be one of many i enjoy watching most. Aiba-chan was sooooooooooooo cheerful and cute in his pink/purple outfit with white hoodie (I seriously lost my heart to his when he had hoodie on). Anyway, Aiba-chan and his harmonica was really awesome and it was so funny coz he missed the high note when he sang the song and he was just being the cutest Aiba-chan by screaming on top of his lungs *lol* - I s'pose you can't help but love him ;o)
The introduction was really awesome for 2nd day. Started off with Jun-kun who did somersaults and smiled fiercedly at the camera...he has one of the best smiles ever!!!!!! And then it was Nino and his easy card trick but as we are easily pleased crowds, we all cheered when Nino did that and I think he was happy :o) Aiba-chan did backflips for like 5 or 6 times before he ran out of energy *lol* his "Hello, goobye" pose was TOO cute. And Oh-chan and his crossed eyes - I just realised that not everyone on this planet can still look good when they have crossed eyes, Oh-chan did anyway *hahahah* and then SAKURAI-chan, he rapped his hip pop boogie and danced in duck-y move (hands on hips and just moved on his hips along his rap) - I nearly fainted and thank god i didn't coz after that all 5 of them was dancing along with Sho-chan ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so cute!!!!
Anyway, there were soooooooooooo many Ohmiya moments on the 2nd day concert. After the MC, they walked back to front stage (Oh-chan, Nino and Sho-chan one side and Aiba-chan and Jun-kun on the other). Ohmiya was like hand in hand and when walking i think it was Nino who wrapped his hand around Oh-chan's shoulder (okay everyone....this is ur cue to say "awwwwwwww" - lol). Jun saw this and decided to do that to Aiba-chan as well, leaving Sakurai-kun alone on his own so Sho-chan just wrapped his arm around his imganary friend *lol* He was sooooooooo cute. I wanted to be the one who he wraps his arm around :oP (and i know everyone wants that!) Another Ohmiya moment was at the last encore, Nino was fixing Oh-chan's pants with straps while everyone was singing "Hero" (Nino-chan, can't you wait until you guys go back to hotel or what? - hahahaha).
So to wrap the whole experiences in just one word, I think i would say it is "MAGICAL".
I enjoyed every single minutes of the concerts and these 5 guys were really caring with their fans esp. Nino-chan (without any bias). If you have a chance, please go to see them live because they really mean it and i think they put more than 100% to each shows. And to sum up and assure you guys, you pick the right band to be a fan of....you really love the right people, Arashi really deserves all our loves.
I was lucky enough to get the pamphlet before they stopped selling it due to the mistake in misprinting documents in Chinese Simplified instead of Chinese Traditional. Anyway, we took pix in front of the arena while waiting (hence, bad quality).
so in summary, the pamphlet is WORTH buying so much!
