Blast From The Past. Part 2.
September 28,2010. Tokyo Dome.
Final day of the concert.
I was riding all alone in the train going to Suidobashi station where Tokyo Dome is.And again,I arrived at Tokyo Dome City,1 hour before the concert starts.So I still have an hour of free time.I decided to take some pictures to put it on my blog and scrapbook.I took some shots of the train station,the bridge that connects the station and Tokyo Dome City,the entrance arch,the restaurants inside the Tokyo Dome City,the concert goods stalls,the NEWS!Live Logo and the Tokyo Dome itself.Good thing it wasn't raining. I stopped at Yamashita bookstore.I saw an obasan there browsing a magazine full of Arahi's pictures.There were lots of magazines also with Nishikido Ryo as a cover,and I was really having a hard time choosing from those mags because of budget constraints.So I murmured "Doshio ka na?" and that obasan looked at me with a smile on her face.Felling a little embarrassed,I told her I was having a part time picking from those wonderful magazines.She said she can understand my feelings since she's also a fan of Johnny's talents,especially Arashi.We got into a godd converstaion,and I complained to her that it's hard being a Nishikido Ryo fan since he's in 2 groups (NEWS and Kanjani 8.) I always have to buy 2 cd's,DVD''s posters etc...Then after like 20 minutes of conversation the obasan said goodluck (for me) on choosing magazines and she went home... I stayed at Yamashita bookstore for a couple of minutes,and then I went ahead and lined up for the concert goods.I thought you can buy all the concert goods in one stall but I was wrong again.In each stall,like for example,in stall #1,you could only buy pamphlet there.On the 2nd stall,the Shirts,while on the 3rd stall,uchiwas are available,and so on.They're selling the goods separately in each stall! And at the end of the stall,they were selling NEWS' previous concert DVD's,album and singles.Too bad,the NEWS!Live! Album is already out of stock. Armed with the concert goods on my bag(finally managed to get a penlight!yatta!)I went inside the dome.The staff checked again my bag and they said I should surrender my camera.So the other group asked me for my camera and asked me to write my name and my contact details on a piece of paper.They said I could retrieved my camera adter the concert(which is fair enough for me.) No bottled liquids are allowed inside the dome.So,they have this another group of people who are in charge.They will ask you for your bottled water,and they will transfer it in a cool-looking big styro cup.. Okay,I went inside to find my seat.When I finally settled in to my seat,I grabbed my Nishikido Ryo uchiwa and my penlight.Few minutes have passed,the concert started on time again.By the way,I didn't bring my notebook and pen with me,since I wanted to enjoy the final show to the fullest. Okay,the song sequence is pretty much the same,so I'll get down with the 2nd MC,okay?
*2nd MC Member Shokai.
I only remembered Ryo on this part.(I know I'm being unfair,but he's my ichiban!)
Ryo were doing a rollcall like "Yeah!" and the audience will "Yeah!" in return. After that,Ryo-chan said "Okay,in an ECCHI way! Yeah!" I was laughing so hard!Just like what you expect from the pervert Sekushii Osaka Man!Hahaha!
*Iitaidake-Koyama Keiichiro and Kato Shigeaki.
They had the same question and answer portion,and at the end,Kei-chan asked "What do the other members wanted to say to the audience?" but before that,the camera showed Yamapi,Ryo-chan,Massu and Tegoshi at the backstage,and they all said "ARIGATO!"
*3rd MC
Again,they were talking about their latest and upcoming work,and Ryo thanked everyone for watching "Joker" and the rating were quite high that they added an SP on it.And then Ryo said,"Minna,gambatte ne?" hahaha! As a result to that,the other members started plugging their own activities...Yamapi talked about his latest movie Ashita no Joe,while Massu talked about being a guest in Oguri Shun's autumn drama,and Kei-chan's butai...etc...Then,it was Shige's turn and he said "Hmmm...I'm going to cut my hair next month!" and it brought laughter from the audience! (Aww,Shige!)
*One In a Million
Yamapi had the same costume,and at the end of his solo,he said "Be careful moving your penlight around,so you won't disturb/hurt your seatmate..." and then the lights on his costume started blinking and he jokingly said "Ah~I should be careful too!" hihihi!
*Teppen
As the air balloons carrying each of the members flew up high and stopped in mid-air,Kei-chan said to the people at the 3rd and 4th floor; "Can you see us now?" (Kei-chan really loves the fans!)
*Encore
They did 3 encores this time!D.T.F. , Koi no ABO and Hadashi no Cinderella Boy!
Ryo-chan,Kei-chan,Shige and Massu was the first ones who went on the stage again.Kei-chan was asking for the other members and Ryo-chan talked about being attacked by something backstage,and then he yelled "TUXEDO MAASSKK!!!" and then Yamapi dramatically came out as Tuxedo Mask!With complete mask,Tuxedo,hat and cape! It was so amazing! I was already expecting Tegoshi to come out as sailormoon with blond wig and short skirt doing a Sailormoon pose.but he came out in a blue maid costume with frills!hahahaha!His white socks were raised above his knee,and he was all smiles when he came out from backstage! I was gritting my teeth because of jealousy when Ryo-chan started raping(or taking full advantage) of Tegoshi by touching his boobs!hahaha!And then Shige or was it Kei-chan? joined Ryo-chan(if I remember it right.) I was literally shouting "Let's switch places,Tego!" It was a good skit to end the show! That's basically what happened at the last day of NEWS!Live!Live!Live! Dome Party 2010...
