5x10 concert @ Kokuritsu Kasumigaoka - saikou da!!! (spoilers)

[shokim]

By that, I mean the con was big in every way!!!

We went there after visiting Johnny's shop at 10.30 as it was too crowded and we only managed the get the number for 10.30 entry...

The crowd was so damn bad that it was like a weekend and not Friday morning at all...when we spotted someone with con goods queueing in front of us, our hearts went doki

geez.. those hanger thingy.. they must have flown in super high..

and you too.. must have been painful, the legs..

Thanks! I tried my best even though cameras are banned! They confiscated cameras for those who went in early but as the con was about to start, they only did a cursory check. Which means I smuggled my cam into the venue. O.o

Had eye contact with Sho, Jun and Aiba because I couldnt stop screaming everytime they came near! (my friend said I did it even louder than the Japanese) XP

I hope this doesn't sound rude, I don't mean to pry...I'm just worried about buying auction tickets since I didn't hit when I tried to go through the fanclub this year x_x

You said there were no ID checks - I'm just wondering, do you happen to be Asian? I'm wondering if maybe they'd do ID checks on people who obviously looked non-Japanese (such as white, black, hispanic, filipino, etc. fans).

[shokim]

Dont worry, you arent rude at all. Its okay to ask.

I bought my ticket not thruough any auction site but a very aboveboard registered ticketing agent. My tickets were not published on any web sites except scanned for my info to let me know where I was going to sit. (I've used him several times in the past for other acts.)

I believe the ticket seller couldnt attend and she also registered us as "others attending" the con and not herself.

I dont know if being Asian has anything to do with it or because they just wanted us ticket holders to be seated quickly before con proper commenced. I heard from reliable sources that the boys came out to spy on the crowd during rehearsal! I heard the earpiercing screams but couldnt see a thing as I was blocked by the huge trees... >///Btw, there was a Caucasian fan in the con goods queue holding a cardboard begging for a ticket to today's con. Her eyes were very red and we could see that she had been crying her eyes out and was still sniffling all the way while waiting. It was very heartbreaking

Waaaaah that sounds amazing~ *____* So lucky dear Mandy!!!
So many people.. O_o But figures, it's Arashi after all.
Thank you thank you thank you for telling all this! With pictures! <3

Ano, did they sing the Best of -album's hidden track at all? Attack it! I would love to see it on DVD which I'm sure will come out sooner or later.

Hooray! Another con report! Thank you for posting your view on it. I'm sure you're still riding on cloud nin after watching that show.

Haha... poor Sho. I read all the accounts about the boys being merciless. He should really seek therapy to rid him of that fear, ne? And Oh-chan... I am SOOOO looking forward to his Kumori Nochi Kasei solo *.* I love the fact he did it in his UnO outfit. :D

But wow... your poor feet. :( I hope you're gonna soak them in a nice hot bath and get some nice aloe on 'em to heal 'em up! :D Thank you again for writing this! Always a pleasure to live vicariously through others. :D

Juntoshi moments?! They have to put it in the DVD no matter what! xD I think I'd cry if I were there when they san 5x10. Listening to the song can already break me into tears, I can't imagine if I watch it live.

OMG I WANT THE DVD FASTTTT! T___T

Glad you had fun, Nee-san! :D Have a safe flight home!
