ecstatic, aka, still on a high]
[music| Memories - Hey! Say! JUMP]
Watched one of the most popular Japanese boybands in Hong Kong with
neitaro and
sinisterteacher wooooh!
You know who the trigger for this craziness was? Chinen Yuri. That kid. In Yukan Club. I already loved Inoo Kei ever since I watched his audition in Shounen Club's documentary thing. That was more than five years ago, if I'm not mistaken- he was such an adorable sweet little kid then! <--as if she's a decade older LOL (only three years older than him, OK) Sadly, Chinen was the one that made me flip. Sorry, Inoo-baby! BUT YOU'RE STILL MY JUMP ICHIBAN! Niban is Chinen (le gasp, I'M SIX YEARS OLDER THAN THE KID), sanban is Yuya who's only three years younger! ( ̄ー ̄;)
After spazzing in Facebook, Kei gave me these posters HOMFG. THEY'RE STILL LITTLE BOYS HERE I FEEL LIKE SUCH A PEDO.
She also gave me some of the boys' PVs and making of videos around two weeks ahead of time (been sleeping for just four hours since then, couldn't get enough of the kids!!!), and dumped the entire JUMP discography on me just a week before the concert. Crammed/memorized as many songs as possible to be able to sing and parapara-dance with the boys during the show A=´、`=)ゞ That's the most effort I've ever made for fandom!!!!
Oh, I made an uchiwa too! For my destined one ichiban ichiban, Inoo Kei! ♥
Front: his name in kanji (which is incidentally one of the kanjis of my Chinese name, OH THIS IS FATE), back is "WE CAME FROM THE PHILIPPINES YO!" XDDDD Fluorescent stickers FTW.
Not wanting to be outdone by her fellow fangirl,
neitaro gave me these magazine clippings XD
Also, A.B.C.-Z or more importantly, one of my JE ichibans, TOTSUKA SHOTA AKA TOTCHAN SNOW WHITE!!! And now, you can heave a sigh of relief because the guy is older than me. The individual JUMP clippings are interviews about how they'd go about dating a girl. Chinen is a vainass, enough said. He's got the ore-sama vibe perfectly. He'd be a perfect Ciel Phantomhive IMO :P I want to smack Yuya upside the head because he likes it "when a girl gets angry, because they're so cute when they pout and puff out their cheeks so instead of apologizing, I'll just annoy her more" WHAT THE EFF. Inoo-baby gave the most sensible and sweetest answers. No wonder he's my ichiban ♥ Will post that part up in a separate entry so you won't drown in this one 8Dv
This is super toned down because I was too tired to write stuff up after the second show (around 23h00-ish). We just fetched our bags from the hostel and slept in the airport. The notebook didn't get written on until after I had a short nap on Monday when I got home, as such, some of the Q&A portions got lost in oblivion. SORRY~ (only a few were notable though)
I TRIED POSTING THIS IN AMEBA BUT APPARENTLY THAT SITE DOESN'T TAKE TO FLAILING FANGIRL REPORTS and I lost a lot of text because I forgot to save them somewhere first, but anyway.
I had anxiety attacks early Sunday morning while we still were pondering whether to watch the last show as well because we saw a JUMP fan on the street (with a lot of uchiwas in hand) on our way to the hostel and she gave us a flail report- Inoo, Daiki, and Yamada touched her hand and Yuuto blew a flying kiss at her and she got a flower from Yamada. Outcome? WE WATCHED THE LAST SHOW. NO REGRETS.
And in the three hours' shut-eye I got, two goddamn nightmares assaulted me, both of which are about us getting nil JUMP goods o(;△;)o
After lining up reeeeeaaally early to buy the goods because I'm a paranoid freak, we took photos of ourselves holding our trophies uchiwas against the LCD TV backdrop where JUMP's concert was being flashed :P
A pesky cameraman was filming us while we were camwhoring, hence the controlled, uncomfortable smiles (・_・ 三・_・) When he finally came really close I apologized because I thought camwhoring with the LCD TV in the background wasn't allowed and he was like "No no, it's ok, this is for the report" SO I WAS LIKE "O RLY? WE CAME FROM THE PHILIPPINES *shows self-made uchiwa*" /shameless
Hey! Say! JUMP Asia First Tour 2012 in Hong Kong~!

After this (more or less) were the JUMP boys showing off their acrobatic skills, and the Kabuki/Noh-style performance A.B.C.-Z did with masks that never ran out and black lights and everything. Just so you know (if you haven't noticed yet), I'm a sucker for things that glow in the dark and psychedelic neon colours against black backdrops, so these boys pretty much made me very very happy XD
Keito and Hikaru (was it?) spinning around while being suspended in mid-air.
Tsuka-chan and Goseki (was it?) with a giant orange ball in mid-air.
Yuya hanging onto a bamboo-styled suspension chord thing and swirling out a never-ending golden scroll that got wrapped around his legs at the first show. He pulled it off perfectly at the last show though ♥
Got really hyped up too when A.B.C.-Z did a short Namazu perf among others (Namazu and the Ansei earthquake, and March 2011 earthquake. Sorry if no one else got the connection ^^;)
---JUMP---
14. 真夜中のシャドーボーイ ♥ (big black screen, OHP close up of the boys wearing colour-coded clothes XDDD Yuuto's shadow = CLOSE UP OF HIS EYES hee hee)

19. Dash!! ♥ (Yuutoooo~~~)
20. Thank You ~僕たちから君へ~ (also sung in Cantonese)

26. Star Time (chorus only, a capella) ♥
Those with ♥ = 全力で彼らと一緒に歌ってた!SANG+FLAILED TILL MY LUNGS ALMOST GAVE OUT 8Dv
PROBLEM. I forgot when they sang Your Seed WTF. And after that, A.B.C.-Z sang Star Seeker. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEH Totsuka Shota, you're so hyper. Much more hyper than the main stars :P What were you on, huh?
The HK fans organized a little surprise for the boys. They gave out this blue banner to everyone with instructions attached to it saying "we'd appreciate it very much if you could help us with this. After the last song, please stay in your seats and sing the chorus of Star Time" and I forgot the rest- left the paper in the office wah. Long story short, we sang, and after a few minutes the boys went onstage again and sang with us a capella. They were so touched and even got the banners from some of the fans within their reach. Totsu kissed his banner ( ; ~ ; )
元気をもらった、ありがとう! And the concert goods: Uchiwas, clear files, and the HK-exclusive photobook XD
Other notes:
This was probably before or after 僕は Vampire, Yuuto showed off his drumming, Keito on his guitar, Hikaru with his slap bass skills (the kid's a show off haha) AND Yamada's saxophone. But he blew too much XD
Andalucia ni Akogarete was sung after the MC (they were considerate enough to tell us to sit down because "you guys must be tired from standing up" d'aaawww). All I can say is: CHINEN, YOU ALREADY. Flamenco and backflip from that elevated stage, YOU ALREADY!!!
There was also a wadaiko performance, with the boys in black tank tops while Yamada and Chinen wore suits with LED lights stuck on them and twirled around and around in mid-air while the seven other members banged away at their drummy drums (which also had LED lights stuck on) XDDD
And I might be imagining things but I think they also sang Wonderland Train? Did they?
I totally don't know any A.B.C.-Z songs because our cable got cut last um, 2005/2006, just when they were starting to show off their acrobat skillz in Shounen Club. So yeah, that's when I last flailed over Johnny's boys in real time XD
Q&A and MC PORTION in no particular order
1. どういう女性が好きですか? What kind of girls do you like?
Forgot about what the other members said, but Chinen answered: 僕みたいな女性が好きよ。I like a girl that's just like me. (VAINASS KID)
2. Chinen: いや、ここの皆は本当に可愛いけどやっぱり僕の方は一番可愛いと思う。Everyone here is really cute, but I'm still the cutest. (AGAIN, SUCH A VAINASS)
3. Fan asks something about YabuHika. Both go over to the fan's side of the stage and put their arms over each others' shoulders.
Hikaru: 香港でも俺達の事「YabuHika」って呼んでるの? We get called "YabuHika" even in Hong Kong?
Yabu: *grins*
4. Fan at the back of the frontmost stage asks Daiki to blow a flying kiss over to her side of the stage.
Daiki: Everyone, let's blow them a kiss!
JUMP: *FLYING KISS TO EVERYONE*
Other fans: こっち!こっち!こっち!こっち! Here too!
Daiki: しょうがないな。OK!
JUMP: *spreads out all over the stages and blows flying kisses to everyone*
Oh BTW here's how the layout looked like
5. Filipina fan asks how does it feel that they've already graduated from high school, plus any advice you can give to those who are going into university (asked in English)
Chinen: It feels great, I don't have to wake up at 06h00 anymore!
Keito: Just do your best, because no matter what happens, I'll always be with you (PFFFFFFFFFTT spot translator XD)
JUMP: Eh, what did you just say?
Keito: It's a bit embarassing (LOL) but I just said 僕が付いてるから頑張ってね。
6. A.B.C.-Z's monomane of Matsujun singing. For the last show, a monomane of Matsujun (or how he'd look like) singing Ultra Music Power.
7. They all introduced themselves, one by one, in Cantonese. For the second show, Totsu forgot his lines and went "and, uh... *scratches head* はい次!(OK, next!)" Hahahahaha
8. JUMP talking about HK cuisine, and Yuya goes "I love xiao long bao" and the JUMP members also agreed wholeheartedly XD OMG. NOW I WANT XIAO LONG BAO TOO. Ffffffffffff /craving
The stage after the last show's encore
OH THE GLEE. THE SPAZZ. PWNED.
So tired. I tried following Inoo-baby, Yuya, and Chinen but gave up halfway through the first show because they're too far apart most of the time >___< Yuya's not fat, contrary to popular belief. He's got just the right build for his height. And his butt, weeeeeew. Perfect. *bricked* Inoo-baby's always squinting at our side because the lights are too bright, but plus points for you baby because you still made the effort to smile and wave at us ♥ CHINEN, PLEASE GROW TALLER SO I CAN SEE YOU MORE KTHXBAI
Still reeling from the awesome. My brother's getting creeped out because I sway a lot at the dining table with this silly look on my face. Got pwned early this year, wah.
These have been on display in my office and they got a lot of attenshun XD I brought them home again but might bring it back to the office because they might miss the attenshun. LOL (Colleague1: OMG. Colleague2: I can't say anything more. Colleague3: So that's what you call fan boys, huh)
OH RIGHT. After the concert, while we were trying to flag down taxis and while the other fans were lining up for the shuttle, the boys' bus came out and got mobbed by rabid fangirls XD I admit, I ran over to them as well but didn't flailspazztouch the bus XD Got to see Yabu grinning at nothing outside the bus, and Yuuto (or one of the tall members) peeking at the other side of the bus behind the curtains ♥ THESE KIDS. JAILBAIT MUCH.
SOME BITS FROM THE CONCERT FOR YOU TO SEE HOW MUCH OF A CIRCUS IT'S BEEN XD
