Arashi Around Asia in Tokyo 2008
no need to say that yesterday (Sep 6th) was one of the best days of my life. a concert that lasted more than three hours. i'm so lucky! such a wonderful world!
i still didn't have a ticket yesterday morning, but i didn't give up. i went to Harajuku to get some more cash and then i checked out the little shop in Takeshita Dori that sells the concert tickets. fortunately, there were some cheaper tickets available too. but i thought that i should try buying the ticket outside the concert hall. i arrived at Sendagaya. there were tens of girls with a sign that said 'sell me a ticket please' or something like that.. then i knew, i'd never get the ticket here. so i rushed back to Harajuku and bought a ticket in the shop. my ticket to happiness!
before the concert started, i bought some goods! i didn't take a pic of the sandals but here's Aiba's official photo set (sorry i have no scanner available) , Aiba mini uchiwa aaand One Love single (finally i bought it..!)
so, let me tell you about the concert!! i was so excited and nervous.. i was really nervous! before the concert started, there were some commercials on the screen (Maou, Nino's new drama, Yatterman, the new single..)
so the actual concert. it started with Love so Sweet. i almost cried because it's such an important song for me. it was the first song i heard from Arashi. so it was the first song i saw live as well. i don't remember the right order of the songs but i just listed the songs i remember they sang. there were two songs i didn'r regocnize though..
Love so Sweet, Oh yeah!, Kitto Daijoubu, Subarashiki Sekai, Hello Goodbye, Take me faraway, Hadashi no Mira, Pikanchi Double, Tomadoinagara, Lucky man, Niji, WAVE, Still.., WAVE, Aozora Pedaru, Kaze, Hip Pop Boogie, Tell me what you wanna be (!!!!!! omg !!!!), Theme of Dream'a'live, Sirius, One Love, Kaze no Mukou e, truth, CARNIVAL NIGHT part 2, Re(mark)able, a Day in our life, La Tormenta (the version where Nino introduces Aiba), Happiness, Step and go, the other song i didn;t regocnize but i GUESS it was Te Agero, A.Ra.Shi (this is the weirdest thing ever.. the song started and i was like what is this song. it sounds so familia.. :DDDD ahahahah lol sorry. i am a bit stupid.), Smile, WISH, Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi, Sakura Sake, Kotoba Yori Taisetsuna Mono, Fight song, Gori Muchuu.. sorry if i forgot some of the songs.
haha it was funny when the guys were introduced.. i don't remember much of Jun's introduction but in Nino made a small card trick in his, Ohno rolled his eyes and looked really funny in his and Aiba blowed his arm and moved it and then sucked it as if it was a magic trick :DD it's hard to explain but i screamed 'WOOOOOW WOOOOOOW' so loud! haha :D during Fight song, they did jankenpo and i think last night Aiba lost in it. this night it was Ohno and he had to dive into a water box. then he was half naked when they performed the next song.. :D Jun and Sho were topless too! its just something i had to mention. there were some technical problems, i couldnt hear Aiba in La Tormenta and Ohno's mic didn't work in Kotoba yori taisetsuna mono. Jun passed his mic to Ohno then :D and they sang together, really close to each other and Jun seemed to be enjoying the closeness quite a lot! i was raelly content with the solo songs. Hello Goodbye was just so cute and Aiba played the harmonica! Take me faraway was just amazing.. i can't really say anything about it, Ohno is just. awesome. Nino played the piano in Nijin and he was wearing the same clothes as in the dvd of last year's summer tour. Jun had the fire fun with him in Tell me what you wanna be! that performance was so hot! Jun was so rock! and Hip Pop boogie was cool, there was a small clip of the other members on the screen jamming with the song :D it was REAALLY CUTE or actually, i didn't really look at Nino, Ohno and Jun.. but it was still cute :DD i think it was encore when Ohno's hair was all sweaty and funny so Nino went to fix it. then everyone started to scream and Nino and Ohno looked at the screen and realized they were on it. so they continued fixing each others hair. ahh so cute! at the end of the concert it started to rain.. the guys were running and sliding at the stage, having fun! after the concert it started to rain quite a lot and a storm came. so this was the most stormy night of my life.
i'll post other pics of Japan later..
