Went to Kiryuuin Shou Christmas Oneman live yesterday.
Met with Mai-san 30 minutes before went inside the hall. She was so cute, as always.(((^-^)))
First time Golden Bomber related with seat. I didn't wear tamiya t-shirt. XD And it was easier to get in. More relaxed compared to standing tickets. Kirisho also noticed this. He said usually people would be running into the hall but today was very calm. Hahah.
When we got inside the hall, we can see the stage. The stage was about 1.5 meters higher that the usual stage, big screen behind the stage(super close) and there was one stylish red sofa. So, Kirisho will be singing in front of the screen. He said the stage was only 90cm thick. He can't move to much or else he'll fall. (((^-^)))
The hall went dark, the title of the oneman appeared on the screen and Kirisho came in without saying anything and just sit on the sofa. He crossed his leg. Trying to look cool, I guess. But most of the fans laughed. Me too. XD Then he sang one line of "Otoko Kokoro to Aki no Sora" without music. Then the music starts.... He started singing and there was the lyrics on the screen behind him. I like this style. (^-^)
First song end and nobody clap or said anything. During the whole song too, everyone just sit and listen. Kinda boring but, I think it's easier to focus on the song and Kirisho. Kirisho didn't say anything and move on to the next song. Next song was "Yogisha". I've never heard this song but I like it! The melody was fun. (checked Kirisho's blog) Oooh! It's in the new album!!! Can't wait!
The second song ended and this time, Kirisho clapped. Just to let the audience know that it's okay to clap. XDD So everyone clapped. But nobody shouted anything. (((^-^))) Still no MC and on to the next song. Yes, Kirisho was still sitting on the sofa. Next was, "Man no Yoru wo Koete"!!!!!!! Never heard this song live before so I was very happy! (^-^)
When the third song ended, Kirisho suddenly shouted, "Doumooo, Kiryuuin Shou desu!". Then he started saying that he can't take this tension anymore. XD He stand up and said to the staff that he don't need the sofa anymore. Haha... He said if it's like this, there won't be a second solo live. Ehhhh~~~! :( I think he was joking. Then he started drinking his water and there was silence. "..." Everyone laughed. Kirisho: "Ah... no one to follow up. Usually at this time, Jun-kun would take over and talk to the audience...". "Hitori dana~" "Bando tte iina~" ← he kept saying this throughout the live. So cute!XD Next songs are winter songs...
Next song was "Sayonara Fuyumi". Waaaahhhh!!! My favorite song from Mohito single. Then, "Mou Bandoman ni Koi Nante Shinai". Then another MC but Kirisho was like shy and don't know what to say most of the time. There was a few silence moments that end up with fans laughing at Kirisho. XD Then he'd said, "I've nothing to say...(((^-^)))". Haaa, Shou-san. XD
Next song was "Kimi ga Inai Ma ni". I had goosebumps throughout the songs. Almost made me cry. Especially the beginning of the song. And next are old songs, "「a」" and "Hisou". Thanks to
l_b_r_h, I've heard both of the old songs. The way Kirisho sang, it's still the same.
When the two old songs ended, he said he wrote the song when he was 20 years old. 7 years ago. Reminded him of so many things... "Natsukashii na...", Kirisho said. He said there will also be videos of images that made him wrote the songs. He didn't said what song, so far no video yet. Just lyrics. We have to wait and see. He made that video himself... He said please forgive him because of his bad video editing skill. He also said this live, he'll do songs that GB usually don't play live. In my head, I was waiting for "Neeeeee!!" and "Reue". (^-^) I've always wanted to here "Neeeeee!" live. And next song was... "Neeeeeee!". Haaa... (*´∇`*) After that was "Fudanshi". The song makes you wanna dance but unbelievably, Japanese girls, they just sit and watch. I did move my head a bit. And my feet, I think almost all of the songs, my feet just automatically move with the beats. It can't be stop. XD So yeah... Next was "Date Plan". During this song, there was video on the screen. Video of Google page, searching for Disneyland and next the Disneyland web page. Then it move to video of the famous train to Disneyland, the Keiyo line. Maihama station. Ahhh. I've never been to Disneyland but I recognized Keiyo line and Maihama station.(^-^) During the chorus or something like that, the video change to rollercoster ride. I think Kirisho did a great job on the video. It was unique, like pro! (((^-^))) It just fits the song.
Next is another MC. He asked the audience to send him comments about this solo live through fan letter. I forgot what else he said... (>_<)
On to the next song, "Rafiora". They played the niconico douga video with comments!!! I think they used that music too. Ahhh, this song really made me shed in tears.(:_;) Reading the comments behind, what had happened to Japan during March... The song doesn't help. I cried(;_;) Next was, "HEN". I love this song but I think GB has played this song live before so... During this song, Kirisho suddenly walked towards the right of the stage(my side!!!) He walked down while singing and started to walk around the audience!! Ahhhh! Thank you Shou-san! You're really nice. I was at the center of the right block. Still far from him when he walk around the audience but, it was closer and I can see his face clearly. So cute!!(*´∇`*) He was wearing suits during the live. Kakkoii!! In the middle of the song suddenly a picture of bottomless Kirisho in Lawson uniform appeared on the screen. There was a note on the screen saying "※今日はこれで勘弁してください". XD He walked and waved to the audience until "HEN" ended.(^-^) Then he went up the stage again. And said, the next song will be the last song. Ehhh~!?(>_<) "Haru ga Kuru Mae ni" starts. Sad song but I didn't cried during this.
When the song finished, he waved and went off the stage. The hall went black. Silence. I was waiting for somebody to shout encore but 2/3 seconds nobody said anything. Then we heard Kirisho's voice(off stage) shouting, "Encore~! Encore~!" Everyone started laughing and started shouting encore. XDDDD Kirisho so cute!! XD
Then he came out and apologised for the encore. He thought we don't want to hear more....(?) Kirisho....('-') He changed to tamiya t-shirt this time.(^-^) He talked about the goods. It's amazing that he didn't use the towel this time. He didn't sweat that much. XD He recomended the music box. Mouban!! I bought it!!(^-^)v

Oh yeah, I'm not sure when but one time, Kirisho said he kinda heard drums noise. Then he look at the back and said, "Kenji...?" "Inai ka..." Then he repeat, "Bando tte iinaa..." XD Then for encore, he said there's a special guest musician!! Everyone was like wow, who!? Then Kirisho said, "Jin-Machine ka...!?" XDD It would be chaos if Jin-Machine appeared. Then he said no one knows this guest. He knew them from his trip to Austria early this year. Johann-san!! Then appeared ON THE SCREEN, Johann-san. Guest keyboard. It was actually Kirisho in sun-glass and hat, playing the keyboard. He didn't speak Japanese. There was subtitle but it was too fast for me to read because it was in katakana(>_<) Then Yohann-san started playing for "Isogashikute Yokatta", the first encore song. Throughout the song, other parts, bass, guitar and drum appeared. All Kirisho. But the setting was all Johann-san. (((^-^))) When the song end, Kirisho thanked Johann-san and one by one everyone started disappearing. "... hitori da na..."
Next encore song was "Reue"!!!!!!!!!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaa(*´∇`*) He saved the best for last.(*´∇`*)
And last encore song was "Ashita no Shou". The lyrics went upwards like those ending credits. There was pictures of Kirisho from the early days until the new one on top right of the screen. Most of the pictures are pics from their blog. Natsukashii na...(*´∇`*)
The song ended and Kirisho waved to the audience and went of the stage. The hall became bright and I was waiting for someone to shout encore for double encore... but no one did. The announce started and I lost my hope. (´・ω・`) Maybe the staff too didn't want the live to go on anymore(?) It was sad. I was pretty sure we'll have double encore because the first encore was planned. Kirisho shouted first. The next, the audience should start shouting for a REAL encore but no....(´・ω・`)
But it was a good event. I'm so thankful that I can go!!! (>_<) My love for Kirisho... hmm... I still like him but he got a lot of fans now it's frustrating. Like yesterday's gacha went sold out really fast.(´・ω・`) More fans, more crazy people that willing to line-up from early in the morning just to get the goods. I remember the first time I went for GB live at Kooriyama. Mai-san said usually the goods won't go sold out that easy. Not anymore... Or maybe they prepared a few of the gacha. But... but...(´・ω・`)
Anyway, the flowers...
Went to dinner with Mai-san, her boyfriend, Yutaka-san←(XD), Lune-san with pink hair like Hide-san(X-Japan fan of course) and Lune-san's friend. I forgot her name. All of us are Kirisho fan. (((^-^))) Ah, except Yutaka-san of course. XD It was so much fun...(*´∇`*)
The goods...
Looking forward to Budoukan live. All of us are going, of course! (^-^) I got sucky seat but it's always been this way with me... I have no complaints. (^-^)
Sorry for long blab. There are a few moments that I can't remember, please forgive me. I'm old. (((^x^)))
Bye!(^-^)
