Hey! Say! JUMP Asia First Concert 2012
I have attended JUMP's Concert last May 8 and May 9! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
~I would just like to share some pictures and some of my moments during the concert <3~ *since I posted this so late XD~
*I won tickets for May 8 via my FC membership but I was not able to get tickets for May 9 that's why I got these from someone else<3.
Seats:
May8: I was very lucky because I got an Areana seat and it was indicated in the ticket that we will be in third row but when we came to the venue, they didn't use the first row of the seats and our seat became like 2nd row! and it was very close!
May9: I was in the stand seat this time but I was also seated on the 2nd row~ I was close to the stage and it was a good seat because Yokohama Areana is a small venue, it was still very close XD~ It was my first time to attend concert more that once so for this time, it was a good experience because from my place, I could see how the JUMP members were so fast in changing clothes! <3
Concert Goods:
I went on an earlier date because I have school on Tuesdays and Wednesday. I went during the last day of the golden week, May 6 (Sunday). Sasuga in every Johnny's concert, the line was very long. My friend and I waited around 1.5 hours for the goods
My bias is Yamada so all the goods I bought was him XD~ but I bought a Daiki clearfile for my friend back in the Philippines. I was trying to save money but I ended up buying all the kinds of concert goods there was =)).. I bought 2 group clearfiles so that I can use one and keep the other one but I still don't want to use it haha..
Concert Bag, Muffler Towel, Penlight and Clearfiles
Yamada's Jumbo Uchiwa and JUMP's concert Pamphlet
Yamada's Photoset and inside preview of the Photobook <3
Concert:
We were very tired when we got in the venue. By the time we left school it was already rush hour so a lot of people were there (together with the fangirls). I was very excited because I will see my beloved JUMP again. I was not able to win concert tickets for their new year's concert that's why I'm very happy that I can attend another concert before I go home <3.
While waiting, the Jrs. distributed origami papers to make a tsuri (paper crane). I got a green one! and I was so happy to know when they playes the video where keito was teaching how to make tsuri to the members Yamada was also holding a green paper!! <3~. Then Kouchi and Hokuto appeared on the stage and the other member of Bakaleya casts were on the stand sides distributing origami papers!~ when I was in the stand on May 9~ Jesse was the one who gave the papers on our side.
The theme of the concert was like a traditional Japanese kind of feeling (和風). I really like it. JUMP were riding on a tsuri float while singing the opening song, UMP!!.
I love their stunts and acrobatics, there was one performance where Daiki and Keito did an stunt together where they were hanged together in mid air.
I was able to hear the new songs for the album. I really like them all especially Boku wa Vampire. I find it very cute after the BEST's performance, Daiki was carried by the Jrs into a coffin and then when the Jr's carried it, the next person who came of was Yamada. It was really shocking and a lot of the audience screamed XD~. Also NYC's Haina! Yuma was there as a special guest for the concert
Keito's Hero (he composed it) was very cute. Full of English lyrics and the JUMP members were able to sing it well!!
Yuto is really shining so brightly whenever he plays the drums. It can be seen how he is passionate with it. Also with Inoo!! He's really good in playing the piano and to be able to hear them play it live was already a blessing to me! Speaking of instruments, I was really shocked when Yamada came out with his saxophone!!!. I evaded to read and see reports about the concerts because I don't want to spoil myself. I was really so happy that he played his saxophone live in the concert!!! He was so good and I love it!! I'm glad it didn't read any reports before I went to the concert because that moment was really so awesome for me.
Also during Star Time when Yamada asked us to turn off the penlights and turn it on with the JUMP's direction!!.. After Yamada sang his solo part in star time, we turned our penlights on like a wave~ <3
Bakaleya also had a corner in the concert!
On May 8. Takaki was hiding in the box and when they opened it, and he accidentally fell. But on May 9 it was okay! XD~ *at first I thought it was intentionally that he fell but after watching it again on the 9th, it was really an accident.
They played the promotional video and they performed their senpai's songs. Noon boys also sang tegomass' yoru no hoshi wo nagamete okure.
Concentrating on the performance during May 9...
~ During the MC talk, JUMP prepared a dokkiri for Yamada where Takaki will be angry in front of everyone. He walked out on the stage and Yabu followed after him (but it turns out they just went to get the cake!)
~ Yamada was so surprised to when Takaki, Yabu and Yuma went appeared with the cake! All of us sang Happy Birthday and greeted him! *(It was one of the most amazing moments where you'll spend your ichiban's birthday with him!!).
~ After Yamada blew the candle, he complimented the design of the cake and Hikaru said he designed it himself. Yamada said ichigo ga suki and just start stuffin his face with ichigos haha.. buta prince<3. The design of the cake was a Koala holding a saxophone and with ichigos
~Another different part was when they were singing Thank You ~Bokutachi Kara Kimi e~ they played a video where jump members formed a "Happy Birthday" using the tsuri that was made and Yamada was so surprised because he didn't knew about it XD~ the place where they made is on the picture below! During the concert, they also showed that JUMP members came themselves in this area where they made tsuri.
The them of the concert is very beautiful. I like it how they combine traditional Japanese style and the modern style. The stage works is so amazing too! I really like how they used the white cloth covering the stage. While the members where on the other side dancing, they created an effect where they also played the video. really love it during Mayonaka no Shadow Boy XD~
The streamers I got for the concert. I was really lucky to have good seats for both days of the concert
I was really worth it to come twice for this concert because it only one in a while where a members birthday was exactly their concert date. I was just wondering why they cancelled their concert to other countries. Is it because there will be a lot of tickets left? T___T. The name was supposed to be a tour but it turns out it will be only for HK. Well for now, I'm really happy for them because they already announce that they will have a Summer Nation wide tour and Johnny's World on Nov to Dec.!
Sad to say, this will be my last HSJ concert and I will go home back to my country this August T____T. Too bad there is not performances in the Kantou region >__<~ and I can't afford to travel around Japan anymore. I wished I didn't go to Hokkaido during Feb so I can go to that performance since my friend is there but then, I already went there and my parents will be angry with me T___T but at least already got to see them a lot of times.. and after this concert, two days later there i got in for Yanyan jump's tapping again and I saw Yabu and Hikaru ^^~. I will just fully utilize my JFC membership until I get home~
Even though I will be far away again from JUMP, I will continue supporting them....
