We are SMAP! Concert part 2
Hello ^^
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!! I hope you enjoyed your day (in whatever way you like ^^).
Here comes the second part of my review (along with some screencaps) of this year lovely concert:
MEMORY ~ JUNE ~
Nakai's solo. As per usual, Nakai's solos are amazing. They're absolutely entertaining, like those two little boys and that little girl from the picture (Nakai, only you would have something like this... xD) and it makes you stuck to the TV, PC (whatever) for the entire time.
But before the performance we get to see what fans usually do before the concert starts. As we can see, fans come with their partners, some walking, some by train, maybe some by airplane... xD
They may play some exciting games... xD
Nakai shouting "Inagaki sannnnn" and Goro's scared faced are priceless... xD
Or they may have some snack to regain energies. Did I already say that Nakai looks absolutely cute??
Now the real performance. This is one of my Nakai's solo, both in terms of music and choreography. I don't understand the lyrics but the melody gives me a encouraging feeling. Like "even tough you're not here I'll be strong". The only problem was that pink star pajama... xD. It's kawaii, but doesn't fits the song much... xD
Well, that was just the start. Because when Nakai changes into the dance mode, he can't be stopped. And no one wants to stop him. His 7 minutes dancing can't be described by words. It's such a great homage/tribute to Michael Jackson. If the King of Pop was still alive, he would be so proud and happy to have such a dedicated fan ^^
And the song continues with kids as backdancers ^^
No comments... xD
AI YA KOI YA: Goro's solo. Typically Inagaki Goro. It reminded me of his 2006 Pop Up! solo (the setting, the colours, the clothes). I don't fancy it. I'm still not used to Goro's high pitch voice... xD. But the idea of having him kissing someone randomly in the audience was great!
Junction: because our boys need to change outfits so we get a little clip showing how SMAP would save us from possible, hum, aliens?? xD
GLAMOROUS: a techno pop song. Somehow I only like the chorus but find myself mumbling it... xD. And they changed into a nice red outfit. Those jackets worth it ^^
SOTTO KYUTTO: (Kimura singing "kasa no naka futari shite mimi wo sumashiteru - Together under an umberella, listening carefully"). One of my favourite ballads. It's like a mature love song with really deep lyrics. Right from the start, the melody just catches my heart and mind. The dance steps in the interlude part is one of my favourite too ^^
TRUST: one of my favourites songs from the album.
"Trust me
Believe in me
Catch on me
Call me
Mobile me
Tweet me
Support me
Follow on me"
It's easy to follow the lyrics. Another techno pop song just like Glamorous (well, they are both by Komuro Tetsuya).
DYNAMITE: another song in the same category as shake. It really gets the tension high and gives us fantastic moments for writing fics, like this NakaixGoro moment or KimuraxTsu ^^
GAIA NI ONEGAI: a trio song. 2TOPS don't get prime time here... xD. I love this song too. Their voices match up really well ^^
FIVE RESPECT: an introducing song... xD. The lyrics are interesting and quite true... xD. We also get a close up of each one of them. Of course the whole choreography is awesome. In Kimura's solo we get to see doing the moonwalk and dancing some robotic steps ^^
In Tsuyoshi's solo we get the chance to see his almost perfect backflip ^^
In Goro's solo, well, he does some dancing (good try Goro! xD)
Shingo does (what do I call it?) some hips dance... xD
Nakai tired from dancing too much in his solo decides to do something dorky (that's why we love you so much... xD)
FEEL IT: "Can you feel it? Feel the groove."
A totally english lyrics song. Although I didn't catch much of the lyrics, it's quite a catchy song ^^
WE ARE SMAP! BOUNCE LUDE: Since they didn't have a theme music this year, this short song has the same purpose. And mainly it's for Shingo to get prepared for his solo.
NO WAY OUT: Shingo, you looked really kakkoi in that outfit with those sunglasses (minus the hat) but this was the solo I really didn't enjoy. The music is strange to me. I just can't love it... xD
(I'm too addicted to his Gabare Ouji solo... xD)
See you next time ^^
Matta ne!!
P.S - I'm much better now from my gastroenteritis!! Thanks for all your positive waves ^^
