5x10 concert @ Kokuritsu Kasumigaoka - saikou da!!! (spoilers)
By that, I mean the con was big in every way!!!
We went there after visiting Johnny's shop at 10.30 as it was too crowded and we only managed the get the number for 10.30 entry...
The crowd was so damn bad that it was like a weekend and not Friday morning at all...when we spotted someone with con goods queueing in front of us, our hearts went doki doki!!! There was the Eco bag, posters and T-shirt...
Went lunch at Douter deli which was beside the Playhouse. Simple fare of shrimp sandwich and iced tea as my tummy was too full of butterflies to stomach more than that!!!
Long story short. Queued almost 4 hours for goods without getting any because the show was about to start!!! Ran into con venue after the security checks but no ID checks at all yahoooooooooooo!!!! The staff quickly let us take our seat as it was going to commence very soon...
Kokuritsu stadium in our sights with 5x10 flags billowing in the breeze
After a short while at 5.45pm, the gang came out with Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi!!! Gawd, all of them were so kakkoiii!!! *dies*
Sorry too tired to do an exact recount because I queued another 45 mins for con goods post con and stood throughout the con so you can imagine how many hours I had been on my feet today!!! =( Full of blisters and corns now....
We had lots of fanservice!! Jun and Nino massaging Riida's face between the brows lovingly after he performed as Yano Kenta in Kumori Nochi Kaisei!!! (they complained he frowned too much during the song) All of us were pleasantly surprised when he performed in his UtaOni neon yellow and blue costume!!! I couldnt help but sing along. ^_^
The highlights:
edit: The best highlight was minna performing A.Ra.Shi in the see-through costume of yesteryear in Kokuritsu!!! <3333333333333 *hentai* (with inserts from that PV) ^_^
1) lots of fireworks, and even once when Nino was talking during the second MC,
2) lots of waterfountain, but no batsu game
3) the guys were on high wire for performance of Truth and one other I couldnt recall...but the sad thing was, Sho-kun was seized by inertia due to his acrophobia...and he was made to :
4) perch on the 7 meter high stand again for a good 10 mins for solo Hadashi no Mirai after the rest accused him of being cho afraid earlier on!!!
5) Aibachan, Junkun and esp Shokun who came close to our Arena row C6 and kept waving and maintaining eye contact with us!!!
Pic from my seat before con started. Its on stage right about 20 rows from front of stage.
Note: fan was pointing at moving stage placed in front of section
6) Junkun even kissed the camera during one of the encores!! *cue, fangirl scream!!!*
7) Junkun performed Wish solo in Jazz Style!!! Sugoi!!! Didnt think it could work but it did - beautifully!!! Junkun did a very Michael Jackonesque dance to accompany the song!! (Jun-wifeys - think the DVD con cant come early enough!!!)
8) Seeing Ashita no Kiota live with minna's chibi photos since birth was too too memorable!!!
9) 5x10 performance! Lots of 10 years VTR collages of minna!!! How could I describe this? All the members put their heart and soul into it. I almost cried at the end coz it was just too emotional...
The balloons after 5x10...
10) Ohchan crying in MC when he mentioned how fortunate and lucky he was to be in Arashi...Aibachan before him would be the one to break down usually but he didnt...Riida was then cheered by us all as he was really *loved* by all the fans for showing his feelings in front of 70000 fans!!!
11) I couldnt come up with the set list if I tried but suffice to say, they sang all the popular tunes like One Love, Toma Doi Nagara, Aozora Pedal, Wish, Fight Song, Taisetsu na Mono, Truth, Carnival Night, Lucky Man, We Can Make It , Step and Go plus lots more etc. I know, I fail...only had 2 hours sleep today...but managed to survive on nerves.
12) Moving stage is my best friend now! Aibachan!!! He was in our corner cho long! *quickly fighting with Junkun for niban position*
13) Almost lost my voice due to nonstop screaming!!!
14) Everyone singing A.Ra.Shi in unison to end the 3rd encore, and fittingly, the con.
15) We had some Ohmiya and Juntoshi moments but no Sakumoto moment that one of my flist was yearning for...
The scene of the crazy con goods queue...20 deep rows...and still no goods on the first try! >.>'
Finally got my hands on some goods after con on second try. *secret uchiwa photo*
Will show the goods later.
Pls do not repost pics. Thanks
