Yay for NEWS! A DOME CONCERT! Wish I could be there. :D
Full story
here (Sanspo article).
Flail with your peeps
here.
I just thought I'd add some of the members' comments. Sorry if it's not 100% accurate (never said my Japanese was perfect lol).
Yamapi - "It's all thanks to our fans. No matter what the venue is I'm as thrilled as always and I look forward to doing the live and can feel the excitement from the fans, even the ones sitting farthest away."
Koyama - "We've had our setbacks, but we want to show the results of all our hard work this year. For all the fans who believed in and followed us, I want to put on a concert that shows what we've become."
Ryo - "I want our concerts to be meaningful. Performing at the Tokyo Dome is a huge deal, but I want this to be a small checkpoint for us. I want there to be even bigger things. This could be like a platform for us to become an even bigger group."
Shige - "Now that our first Dome concert is decided, I'm really moved that another dream has come true. I'll do my best live up to the many sempai whom I look up to who have stood there."
Massu - It's is huge and I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to this stage at which each of us has arrived. I hope to come as close as I can to giving a good performance."
Tegoshi - "Having to achieve the task of making our songs and dances come across in such a big place is quite daunting, but when the time comes for us to perform I think we will be able to do it. I'm excited but also a bit scared."
I feel like I mangled some things but the sentiment is there. ♥
