KAT-TUN CONCERT.

Arrived at Tokyo Dome at like 12:30pm, had sushi for lunch, wandered around, queued up for con goods. I started queuing at around 2:20pm, I think, and it was real quick, like 15 minutes only, but GOD IT WAS SO HOT. The girls behind me in the queue kept going "ATSUI! SHINU! SHINU!" Aksjg;sjdkf it was boiling. Anyway, got myself a Kame uchiwa, the penlight, and the con pamphlet (I'M LOVING THE PAMPHLET, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL). Afterwards wandered around some more. Took pictures:

Me holding my Kame uchiwa akjsg;jaksd.

Most people I saw had Jin uchiwas. The rest mostly had Kame ones. Then Koki. Nakamaru, Ueda, and Junno ones were RARE. I saw two people, friends, one with a chibi!Kame uchiwa and one with a chibi!Jin uchiwa (I think they're the ones from their first concert, was that 2002?). Probably Akame fangirls? :D

Got in like 15 minutes before it started. My seat was on the fourth floor. Gate 40. IT'S PRETTY CRAP. Couldn't really see much. THEY WERE ALL SO TINY. I COULDN'T TELL THEM APART. So I was just looking at the big screens most of the time, really. (And I didn't think to bring binoculars, god I'm so stupid.) But anyway, the set was great, like. All jungle-y and like, an ancient ruined city. Like. The stuff you get in Peru. I think.

So I was holding the Kame uchiwa in one hand and the penlight in the other. And then it started. So we all like stood up and SCREAMED (you know what, throughout the whole of the concert, I was probably the one who screamed the most and the loudest in my stand, most of the people in my stand were all like meh whatever about it and I was just like screaming my head off every five seconds, I think some of them thought I was pretty insane, someone in the row in front of me kept turning back to stare at me, haha). TABOO was great, perfect opening song really. They came down in those platform lift thingies. You know. In last year's con, I think they used them during YOU. Those ones. I swear Jin was like smoking something at first. I saw smoke. I don't really remember though, I might have been imagining things. But it was hot. JIN WAS SO FUCKING HOT. And we were all screaming like HELL, seriously.

I LOVE THE PENLIGHT, BTW, IT'S AWESOME. IT'S A GODDAMN PIRATE SWORD, OKAY. IT OWNS MY SOUL. Okay so after Taboo, Keep the Faith, that was pretty awesome too (EVERYTHING IS AWESOME OKAY I HAVE NO WORDS), screamed a lot as well. I think after this Koki does his usual screaming at us to be louder and stuff. 8D Then it was GOLD, I had no idea that there was going to be GOLD (I haven't really read any con repos), and GOLD is one of my favourite KT songs ever and it's just so fucking epic, IT'S THE MOST AMAZING THING LIVE, oh god so beautiful. DON'T YOU WANNA SEE IT WHEN WE MAKE IT WORLD WIDE. KIMI WO DAKISHIMETE BABY ALL NIGHT. I LOVE IT. Jin's voice is beautiful. Then it was Jumpin' Up, I love this song it's so bouncy. It's much better live than anything. Seriously, great concert song. Then No Matter Matter, another EPIC SONG, love it. Errrr then Don't U Ever Stop (I'm getting this tracklist from someone else, I'VE FORGOTTEN THE ORDER COMPLETELY ALREADY), so so so amazing. 12 o'clock was pretty perfect, they had all these watches on the big screen and stuff and Jin's voice is fucking sexy in that beginning bit of this song.

Parasite. FIRST TIME LISTENING TO THIS SONG. I know I fail. I'm not that much of a Koki fan. Anyway, the song wasn't that great, but Koki was epic. On his motorbike. GOD. He was just so cool. And revving the engine, fuck, er, I keep thinking of Sirius in shoebox_project (TILLY MY SOUL). Then w/o notice OH GOD I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE KAME. Most adorable thing ever. So he was on a spinning chair (HEY GUYS, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT: I THINK I HAVE A SPINNING CHAIR FETISH :/ well okay NOT REALLY, but DR STEIN AND HIS SPINNING CHAIR, REMEMBER? akjsdg;jskdfj;ajsdk I LOVE SPINNING CHAIRS). And he was like pretending to pick his nose and stuff, and it was just so cute, and then he was drawing/writing stuff on the board in like crayons (? idk) and I think he wrote like one line of lyrics from w/o notice, and then he wrote something about Tokyo (I love Tokyo? Something like that, everyone was screaming), and um there were photos of the other members up on the big screen (including one of Koki and Junno together IN THE SHOWER, fuck, I DON'T EVEN SHIP KOKI/JUNNO, AND KOKI IS SO TOTALLY STRAIGHT TO ME, BUT I DON'T CARE, IT'S HOT OKAY god everyone screamed so hard), and then there were photos of this girl (basically Kame is the biggest stalker ever). I just really love this song. IT'S SO CUTE. KAME IS SO CUTE. My heart. <3 Kame's present went to this random Japanese girl, idk.

Then Junno. Junno went to talk to this seven-year-old kid (?), gave him a Junno uchiwa, asked the kid who he was a fan of. The kid was like "....... Ka--" (he was probably about to say Kame, omg ♥) and then he finally said, "Nakamaru." And I was in hysterics. OH JUNNO. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. ♥ So there were all these Junno uchiwas EVERYWHERE AND IT WAS FUCKING CREEPY EXCEPT NOT, it was kind of funny, I love Junno, and I think they were asking people to do the uchiwa dance with him and the juniors and stuff, so I tried to do it but it wasn't that easy, the people in front of me weren't really getting it either. XD Then they showed videos/pictures of KAT-TUN members on the big screen, and they were at the beach or something and then at the end of the solo, there's a video of the others throwing Junno into the sea. Askdjg;jdkf I LOVE KAT-TUN SO MUCH.

The tengu thing was ADORABLE. Kame has the best tengu voice EVER. Jin was pretty cute too. It was seriously, seriously adorable. They were all so amazing. Then it came to Jin's bit and he might have been pretending to run away from something, I didn't really understand, I think he pretended to fall off the stage? Ueda was cute too. UEDA IS ALWAYS CUTE. Fuck there wasn't ANYTIME DURING THE CONCERT when I saw Ueda and I didn't think he was cute. HE IS JUST SO AMAZING, OKAY. Then Koki and Nakamaru did their jokes thing, it might have been funny but I didn't understand what they were saying. Nakamaru's expressions were funny though, he kept acting like he was going to cry or something, I think he was getting bullied probably, AS ALWAYS.

Ai no Command is actually my favourite song on the album. I know I said Taboo before, but these few weeks I've been listening to Ai no Command A LOT and I freaking love it. SWITCH ON, SWITCH ON. GOD. SO AMAZING. This song was pretty awesome live. LIPS LIPS LIPS was awesome! They used those hose things like in the PV and it was freaking awesome, um when Kame did his bit at the beginning, like LIPS *kissing noise* I was like SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMING. Oh god. >> So incoherent. Then Wilds of my Heart, er nothing special here, I don't think, I really love this song though.

The MC. Didn't get most of it, but everyone was laughing quite a lot. Oh, they were pointing at us up in the stands, saying something about whether we could see what was going on. So everyone up in the stands were like waving their penlights around in response. Er, I think someone at ktlove posted some bits from the MC, about their hoji hoji hair? Um Nakamaru and Junno was getting bullied, as usual. Advertisements for Ueda and Nakamaru's things, something about ABC having their first concert or something soon.

Mother/Father was beautiful, Ueda's gorgeous but there will be even more on Ueda's gorgeousness later, so. Not sure what exactly happened after this song. Er. Probably Kis-My-FtII and ABC and FIVE and stuff like that. Um. I'm not that familiar with them, but when ABC came out to do their perf, they sang the line IT'S JARK IN MY SOUL and I knew that.

Er then Nakamaru probably did his beatboxing, which was. So stunning. His beatboxing is just so fucking amazing live, you have no idea, I was so shocked because I'd never appreciated his beatboxing that much, but god. MY LOVE FOR NAKAMARU GROWS EVERY DAY. Oh god. Seriously, that was brilliant. Probably one of my favourite parts of the concert.

Okay I have no idea when this happened but I've written it in my notes, so. During some part of the concert, Ueda was holding up a gun (I think) and he pretended to shoot Junno, but it wasn't very successful, so then he put down the gun, and picked up this huge cannon and shot Junno with that instead. XD It was hilarious.

HELL NO, I love love love Koki's rap in the beginning. Uhhhh then Six Senses, maybe? I DON'T REMEMBER. ): But whatever, I have to talk about Six Senses, which was SO AWESOME. This song is seriously crazy live. Jin shouted 'PUT YOUR MOTHERFUCKING HANDS UP!' and I screamed. It was awesome. Think Koki said fuck too, it was like 'what the fuck are you doing?' or something else, I couldn't really hear him properly apart from the word fuck, lol. We were all doing the clapping thing. It was so cool.

Then Smack, probably? I really don't remember. This was also my first time listening to Smack, I FAIL SO MUCH, this song is really nice, I love it. Nakamaru's solos are always... really Nakamaru. Like, they're all kind of similar. But they're all really nice. I swear if you just gave me the instrumentals for all of KAT-TUN's solos and asked me to choose which one was Nakamaru's, I would be able to tell. It would not be that hard.

Then Ai no Hana. Oh god. Yes. Another one of my favourite parts of the concert. It was just. So beautiful. I have no words. Before it started, the lyrics of the last chorus (I think?) showed up on the big screen, so we all sang it. It was amazing. (You know, like last year, when the audience sang like the last few lines of Love in Snow before Lost?) It was seriously just great. Then it started and there were pink laser lights, made to look like sakura blossoms, and then it started raining sakura blossoms on the stage. Ueda sang so, so, so beautifully. And I think during the last chorus, the sakura blossom lights came together so that it looked like there was a path on stage which was covered in sakura blossoms (you know, sakuramichi like in the lyrics?) and Ueda was walking down that path. It was really, really lovely.

Then Jin. Oh god. JIN. SO FUCKING HOT. Before his solo, there was like a video of him, with some stuff from DUES and he does a shot. It was hot. His dancing was hot hot hot hot hot, and I loved his singing. Lovejuice = most addicting song ever, I can never stop listening to it on repeat, fuck. Um. So it was really hot. I sang along. And screamed a lot when I wasn't singing along. Kame fangirls next to me was really freaked out by how much I was screaming for Jin, especially since I was holding a Kame uchiwa. XD Then Bokura no Machi de acapella with no mike, bloody AMAZING, HOW DOES HE DO THAT. HOW. He was struggling, but he projected REALLY WELL, I could hear him from all the way up there, I MEAN, ALL THE WAY UP THERE, IT'S LIKE IMPOSSIBLE, I heard him perfectly clearly, and his voice was just beautiful, my heart ached. Oh Jin, I love you so much. Then the rest of KAT-TUN sang BokuMachi. Should probably mention here that Jin did some Eminem rap, no idea when exactly he did it, but he did it and it was really, really cool.

Er then it was probably Signal or something, I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. Not much to talk about though. Er. Somewhere around here they did KAT-TUN member intros. I think they did Koki first, probably, don't really remember, and at that time people weren't really getting into the shouting yet so I think less people shouted for Koki than for the rest. I shouted insanely loud for Kame (KAZUYA KAZUYA KAZUYA fuck I love you so much) and Ueda, and I did shout for Nakamaru and Junno too, and then it got to Jin and my voice started to fail me. :/ So when I tried screaming 'Jin' my voice went seriously WEIRD, it just did some sort of high squeak. >>

Um then SHE SAID, they came out on this huge pirate ship and it was AMAZING, ajsdg;jsadkf;jkdsf;ajskd I love SHE SAID, I seriously do. KAT-TUN was like, "IT'S THE FINAL PART OF THE CONCERT!!!!" Another favourite part of the concert. I was so fucking excited about this song that I screamed and screamed and screamed even though my throat was so sore already, so that I ended up having like a coughing fit during the middle of the song and I felt sick. Oh god. So pathetic. But seriously, that was awesome. SHE SAID NEVER LOOK BACK, SHE SAID NEVER LOOK BACK. This song is totally the best thing ever live. Didn't see Kame/Koki fanservice though (DON'T THEY ALWAYS HAVE KAME/KOKI FANSERVICE DURING SHE SAID? :/) Then after SHE SAID, Koki shouted 'TOMARANAI!!!!!' So I was like 8D!!!!! YOROKOBIIIIIIII. Because they said the concert was going to end soon, I basically just kept screaming and screaming and screaming like every 5 seconds, no matter what was happening. XD

Then Crazy Love. Askdjg;jsdkf;jaksd such a beautiful song. I remember listening to it for the first time at night, and I cried a little then. I didn't cry during the concert, but it was still really beautiful and sad (because it's the last song before encore). During the song, KAT-TUN let us sing one line: 'SORE DAKE DE~' It was so nice. I've only listened to Crazy Love probably a total of three times, and I haven't listened to it since January this year, so I was really surprised I remembered all the lyrics. I don't listen to this song much because it breaks my heart every time. ): (Now it's going to break my heart even more.)

So then Kame said his obligatory arigatou speech, and they all left. And we were all like encore~ encore~ So they came out again, sang Real Face. We all did the hand motions, of course. Instead of Koki, Junno did the rap in the middle, like the ore wa joker thing, except it was ore wa Junno. Then they sang un-, which is actually MUCH BETTER LIVE. I didn't like this song before, but I LOVED IT SO MUCH during the concert. Then the final song was Peacefuldays, and I was really glad, because well, you can't have a KT con without Peacefuldays, right? :D So I screaaaaaaaamed K-A, K-A, K-A-T-T-U-N, K-A, K-A, K-A-T-T-U-N, T-T-U-N~~~ It was awesome. During on of these songs Kame and Junno and Ueda were standing together and they looked seriously dorky, it was so adorable. ♥ Also, Kame managed to throw a signboard up to the fourth floor stands and it hit a girl in the face, and we were all like ohemgeeeeeee WHAT but fuck, I DID NOT EXPECT anyone to be able to throw signboards up to our stands. So Kame is amazing. Akjsg;jskd.

And then they were gone and there were announcements like this is the end of the concert, please will those sitting in blah blah blah leave first, etc. etc. And we were all like omg what is this it? ))))): No second encore? NO HARUKA? Damn! Harukana Yakusoku = my actual favourite KT song ever. I loved it from the moment I first heard it, almost two years ago when I watched the Kaizokuban DVD, and I was like, "If I ever manage to go to a KT con, they have to sing Haruka." But they didn't. ): It was disappointing, but whatever, guess I'll try again next year, hopefully? :D

So yes, that's it. I REALLY LOVED IT. I seriously enjoyed it so much. It's the most amazing thing ever. Coming out from the concert, I had the same feeling I had after finishing Deathly Hallows. You know. So happy and depressed at the same time. But it was brilliant. Honestly. So brilliant. But god, Tokyo Dome is friggin' huge. When I came out from the concert, there was a SEA OF PEOPLE, seriously you couldn't like move, there wasn't any empty space ANYWHERE that you could see, it was insane.

kaze is a pathetic fangirl, kame is adorable, kat-tun, sup jin, kame is my favourite je boy, japan ilu!!!, you won't find coherency here, uebo-hime, public, too much sparkly glee, everyone should love kame
