YaraThey Crea notes 5/13 6pm and 5/14 2pm/6pm shows
For full show report, please read the 5/13 2pm show report. Here are just notes on what I can remember was markedly different in each show. Apologies for the Yara-centredness. In particular, I wish I'd been able to keep better tabs on what Eda-chan and Shota were doing D8
5/13 6pm show
note: I was not able to attend this one, so all reports are second-hand from friends who did go.
- telephone call was from Koichi
- Superstar singer was Shota
- guests were Maeda Bibari and Anna Santos, although only Bibari-san was announced. They did not come up onto the stage and afaik did not particularly talk during the MC? Everyone said Anna was super adorable though, they liked her. I think she didn't sit in a guest seat, but Bibari-san did.
- Ryota's furitsuke corner was Missing Piece, not Koakuma Juliet. One Love stayed the same, though.

For this show, guests were Yonehana Tsuyoshi, Kawashima Noeru and Ishikawa Naoki (the drummer from Endless SHOCK)
For the intro, Ryota introduced himself as "Hello! It's everyone's YamaRyo!" so after that everyone copied him, "Hello! It's everyone's Sho-chan!" "Hello! It's everyone's Tsu-kun!" "Hello! It's everyone's Hiromi!" "Hello! It's everyone's Yaracchi returned!" ← lmao very funny and Ryota looked sulky and put out, very cute XD They organised the drink batsu game better this time, (and everyone faked surprise in a totally unbelievable way as Yaracchi announced it, lol) although…
…the staff didn't put in enough citric acid, so RYOTA DIDN'T REALISE IT WAS HIS DRINK THAT HAD BEEN DOCTORED. Everyone was like… ? not me…? Not you…? Not you either…? and Ryota was like "…well… I didn't THINK it was me… but it did taste a little sweeter than usual…"
OTL
So then he super fakey fake fell down in despair, very delayed reaction, OH NO IT WAS ME HOW TERRIBLE WOE WOE I CRY ;;;;
As punishment today, he had to intro Lovesick in a cool AND cute way. He flailed about for a moment before hitting on what to do: he did a hands-free backflip and then cutesy said "Next is Lovesick! (n_n)v" damn you kawaii little s89rt7dfjg why are you so cute DX
~
During Charge, Yaracchi continued to sing the wrong tune. (snerk) Then the phone rang again. Yaracchi got so frustrated at the audience that he did really angry hand gestures, v. amusing. Like, ffs who the f is it?! And then, of course, it was him. This time again, it wasn't Yuma but Koichi!
The entire phone message was about Yaracchi and his muscles and how awesome Yaracchi is and how awesome his muscles are. Sugoi ne. Hontou ni sugoi ne, omae wa. Really sugoi. Yaracchi's muscles too. Sugoi. Yaracchi. Sugoi naaaaaaa. There was pretty much no other content to the message. Sugoi ne, your muscles. Jaa ne. Yaracchi was kind of embarrassed. What the hell was that message? asks Shota. Everyone is kind of amused and lol what Koichi ;; But then, well, maa… ← he flashed his abs at this point. *facepalm*
But then, despite this, it's no good that you had your phone on! Apologise +_+ He gets down on his knees and grovels to the audience.
Is it okay, this apology? Yeah, I guess it's okay.
So kind, this audience…;;
AND AGAIN HE SINGS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TUNE. AND DOESN'T REALISE THAT THE AUDIENCE SINGS THE CORRECT TUNE BACK TO HIM. Goto points out that there was something a little amiss: "You kinda sing that phrase a bit wrong, y'know?" but Yaracchi doesn't really take it on board. OTL. More on this for the final show.
~
This time when They are rearranging the positioning of the stairs for the Shock parody, Goto comes out dressed as a stage hand, complete with little flashlight and tape measure and everything. He has a mic and verbally bullies the boys as they push the stairs into place, WHY ARE YOU SO USELESS, OI SOMEONE GO DEAL WITH THAT OTHER STAIRCASE, HURRY UP, HURRY UP. XD;; Then he takes out a silver camera and tells them to pose on the stairs so he can take a picture. Ha? Goto starts counting down, 10… 9… "Too long!" says Shota. Okay, chee~zu~!
…And as they do, Yaracchi rushes out like "Ah, are we taking pi--- oh ._. Too late ._. Guess y'all didn't want me in the shot too .__. okay then ._____." and goes back all dejected and unloved and .____." (………… it's adorable, sobs)
This time, Edacchi gets into like the whole second line of the song before Ryota breaks!
~
Superstar, this time it's GOTO who makes the music start. Dressed as the cockroach. He struggles to get up on the box dressed in his cockroach costume and he doesn't even know the lyrics. He la-la-las most of them (but at least he gets the tune right XD). Ryota is pretty gutted. He doesn't get to be the superstar and instead has to dance around a cockroach. They honestly don't know who it's going to be, same as with the drink batsu game; they let the staff-san decide for whom the music is going to start. XD; Yaracchi says that since it's been Eda-chan and Shota and now Goto, maybe in the evening show it will be me~~~~? and Ryota does not like this idea. Do you even know how embarrassing it is to have been the one standing up there and the music doesn't work again and dsihkljbdfslbijkdfjkdfg??! T___T MOUUUUUU.
X)
Also during the MC Yaracchi talked with Yone-san (YONEHANA YONEHANA YONEHANA YONEHANA YONE-SAN CAME GUYS YONE) promoted BooBooLiv (Yone's sausage shop) and talked about how he'd been there. They teased Eda-chan about NEVER SPEAKING on the first day, like how some fans were all "EDA, SPEAK!" so for the lunchtime show Eda-chan talked a lot XD Later they joked that it was because because there was a kouhai present (Noeru) and he wanted to impress him by being a cool senpai u_u (Eda-chan insisted that this was not the case. uh huh.) There was also more bullying of Ryota and praising of Shota :3
Furitsuke corner! This time it's Crazy Moon and One Love. This time Ryota's mic stand shrinks XD It was too tall again at the start of the They Budou corner beforehand, but now… idr if he makes it too small by accident himself or what, but in the end he winds up having to perform on his knees because the mic stand is so short and he can't fix it XD; Yaracchi sort of manages to get most of Crazy Moon and neeeeearly does One Love without making any mistakes \XD/ nearly \XD/
Endless Summer, Yaracchi invites Yone down onto the stage to perform with him (and the boys apologise for singing/rapping Yone's parts) but Yone declines. We were sad but we understood - he's left entertainment now, after all, so even though we'd've loved to have seen then perform together again it's fair enough that he decided not to go onstage. I don't even know if he'd've been allowed to, actually, given that he's no longer in the agency and not insured under the company or anything like that… Hmm. Anyway, yes.
~
The rearrangement of the final few songs is much better, too. Where they stood for Now and Forever and then LP Girl were a little awkward before, like, with the flow of everything and the ball-throwing. Having LP Girl and Now and Forever next to each other in the set list makes a lot more sense. Rocketman as the encore was a great choice, too - there's a reason why KinKi use it in the way that they do XD - and throwing the balls during Rocketman worked really well. Final speech BGM was Rocketman instrumental instead of Endless Summer, which made sense since that was the song that had previously been playing, rather than reinserting the instrumental of a song that had been playing several tracks before. Good job on correcting those things, boys! I'm really proud of you ♥ \\APPROVED!//
This show was approximately 2h long, give or take.
5/14 6pm show
Guests: Machida Shingo, Tsukada Ryoichi, Akiyama Taiga, Fukushi Nobuki, Tomioka Kento, Ishigaki Daisuke, Ogawa Yu and a couple of younger kouhai I don't know. Johnny-san was also there, although obviously he was not announced.
This time for intro, Ryota did the same "Hello! It's everyone's YamaRyo!" so once more, 'Sho-chan' and 'Tsu-kun' and 'Hiromi' did the same intro-copy XD; Hiromi~ Yaracchi asked why everyone was doing that 'minna no ○○ da yo~!' thing and Ryota spluttered but couldn't really say anything.
~
For the drink batsu game, I guess to compensate for the earlier show, there was a CRAPTON of citric acid in the drink. They also had the drinks in different glasses this time, with orange on the bottom halves of the glasses so we couldn't clearly see the liquid. Shota got the doctored drink. XD; He was curled up and dying XD BITTER!! They all smelled the drink afterwards too and were like holy crap it's really strong-smelling, omg poor Shota XD;; BITTER! So of course, he had to intro Lovesick in a 'cool and cute way'. Yabai, but it was so bitter, I really want a drink of water, can I have some water? No, no, Yaracchi says. Not yet. Intro the song first. Yabai. Okay.
So, Shota's way of introducing the song? He tells us to please listen to Lovesick in this low, cool voice (which actually is really cool;;;) and then blows the audience a kiss. IT IS ADORABLE. Everybody kyaas. Both Ryota and Shota successfully managed to intro Lovesick in a way that combined both cool and cute, I'm oddly proud of them :")
~
Charge phonecall. The audience all scolds Yaracchi when it turns out it's his phone. IT'S YOU. AAAAAH. Busted. +___+ Bad boy, Yaracchi. It's another message from Koichi, this time promoting Song Writers which Yaracchi has thus far entirely failed to promote (...clever boy XD) except this time when he grovels and Ryota asks if they can continue again, someone in the audience is like NO and he's like, please ;__; I'm really sorry ;____; and they relent (XD)
So then we have We Will Rock you again, and then back to Charge. CHARGE. THE WRONG TUNE. AGAIN. After Goto had expressly told him that he sang the phrase wrong during the matinee show. The audience laughs at Yaracchi before we even get round to singing back to him.
Yaracchi: [while lalala-ing] Why are you all laughing, though?
Goto: Because you're singing the tune wrong. Again.
Yaracchi: ? [keeps singing]
Audience: [sings the correct tune back]
Yaracchi: [realises; collapses and dies]
It was HILARIOUS.
Goto: I TOLD YOU BEFORE. THE PHRASE WAS WRONG. The real phrase was this: [♪la~la~ lala~ lalalala~ ♪lala~ lalalala~ ♪lala~ lala~ la~la~la~la~♪]. You were singing this: [la~s the incorrect tune]. It's not that, it's this! [correct tune] ♪DO~ ♪RA~ ♪RE~ ♪MI~!
Yaracchi: [falls onto the floor, rolls around, refuses to get up] Really? Really? No. No, really? omg. Yesterday I did it right though?
Goto: Nope.
Yaracchi: omg. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; omg. Mou. omg. No way. I have no confidence any more. I'm done. omg. ;;;;;;;;;; REALLY?? Cry.
Goto: Don't worry, they still love you.
Yaracchi: But, but, it's my Playzone song. My Playzone song. Why do you know my Playzone song? ((← he sounds super pouty and sulky here, it's hilarious and adorable))
Goto: Because I LISTENED TO IT.
Audience: fuuuuuuuu~ XD
Yaracchi: Maa, I'm done. It's finished.
Audience: Ganbare!
Yaracchi: Ahhh why are you saying that! Really!! Nooooo. Mou, it's enough. It's a live, I've gotta keep going. Sobs. ;;
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I sob. It was the funniest thing. Oh lord.
Then it's time for They's corner, only... Ryota's mic stand is still shrunk from the matinee show;; Nobody fixed it for him, lol. It's a tough job, being a short idol. XD It's at this point they bully Eda-chan for having spoken so much at the matinee show but for BARELY SPEAKING AT ALL in the soiree show XD Edanyan e_e"
~
When staff!Goto comes out to fix the stairs with them, this time they all call Yaracchi out from backstage to take a photo with them ;; He was drinking water though, and comes out holding his water bottle. Clearly acting nonchalant after being rejected earlier u_u They go to take a photo with him and Goto takes the photo, but...
Goto: Ah, wait a minute, one more time? Yara's eyes were closed XD;
orz XD Then Yaracchi is like, right, okay, now Shota take one of Goto! and Goto's like, ? me? and they're like, of course! You're in the show too, right? Go on, stand there.
So he does go to stand at the foot of the stairs all on his own with his black backstage staff outfit and strikes a cool pose and has his photo taken too XD; ♥
~
Superstar, Ryota is VISIBLY DREADING getting onto the tinsel-decorated box to make the music start a second time XD; VISIBLY. Mou, but, ahh, I have to do this. Mouuuu;;;; Music... start? [silence] IYAAARGKHJFSKGFSKHJG WHYYYYY IT'S THE LAST SHOW WHY COULD I NOT MAKE THE MUSIC STAKJHFSBGOLSJDFGNSKJDHFG CRY
Move over, Yaracchi says. Okay, so... let's think about this. Yesterday matinee was Eda-chan. Then Shota. This morning was Goto. So... could it be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~? 8D? 8D 8D 8D?? Maybe? Maybe maybe? 8D?
So he gets on the box, spread his arms wide, and says "I am deeply sorry for having kept you waiting. Music, start!"
And it does! \XD/ Ryota crumples. Everyone dances around Yaracchi singing Superstar on top of his box. Everyone except Ryota has fun. \XD/
~
MC, and I'm getting really sleepy so this is going to be patchy at best. Tonight Tsuka and Maachin were able to talk, and they also introduced the other people that were there to watch. Three members of MADE (they did point out that there are normally more people but that tonight there were only three people watching) plus Ishigaki Daisuke and Ogawa Yu and some other kid and erg what did they even talk about... Introduced themselves and talked about how much fun it had been... About the last times they'd hung out... Goto being awesome and being able to do back handsprings in addition to everything else... Daisuke and Goto talked for a bit... Yaracchi talked to one of the other kids and was like, do we know you? so he answered, "Yes, from Enbujou!"
Yaracchi: But I wasn't in Enbujou?
Kid: But They Budou were...
Yaracchi: Ah, you worked with them! Okay, yes. XD;;
(sorry, I forgot who he was .__.)
What else... Yaracchi talked about Tsuka having been in Butoukan together with him and Ryota before; Tsuka promoted his stuff, and they were like, aren't you super busy right now? And he was like, it's fine! I'm only working on three or four things right now! 8D! ← or something to that effect.
~
Furitsuke corner! Ryota actually gave it a stupidly long name, but I have no idea what it was any more. He kept making mistakes when he spoke too, and they were like ? but he shrugged it off every time, saying "It's fine, my fans will understand me n_n"
This time, furitsuke dance was: Missing Piece (which was done perfectly). Not satisfied! says Ryota. Okay, next! Koakuma Juliet. Nope, not enough! NEXT! Crazy Moon! They dance almost all of it. NO, I'M STILL NOT SATISFIED. NEXT! MUSIC, START!
It is at this point that Goto RUSHES out onto the stage, pushing the tinsel-decorated box from before on top of which is dumped Ryota's 'Star Yamamoto' jacket, and Ryota quickly throws it on and jumps on top of the box because YEEEEES I'M A SUPER STA~AR~! and he is so happy, so dazzlingly unabashedly shiningly brilliantly OVERFLOWINGLY HAPPY I have never seen anybody so happy in my whole life, I have told like everyone I've spoken to about this so far GUYS HE. WAS. SO. HAPPY. HE. GLOWED. it was hysterical, Yaracchi lost it and so did half the audience, and they all danced around Ryota on his box because he finally, finally got to be the star at last and he was so giddy I actually thought he would float. XD;
When that song ended, Ryota got down from the box and AHHH THAT WAS AWESOME, THAT FELT SO GREAT, IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO BE UP THERE DOESN'T IT KSDJHDKFJGFSKGJFGK I GOT TO BE A STAR ^__________________^
Yaracchi: So, about my furitsuke corner...?
Ryota: IT FEELS SO GOOD ^_____^ UWAAAA
Yaracchi: ...
Shota: ...
Eda-chan: ...
Ryota: KIMOCHII ^_______^ Okay let's go get the stand mics now ^_____^
Yaracchi: Aren't they called mic stands?
Ryota: Whatever, my fans will understand me ^____^
So they get the mic stands and... Ryota's is still tiny XD ?? says Ryota. Mine even has my name written on it! Cry ;; even the staff-san bully me;;
One Love is nearly perfect, this time Goto messes up a little near the end and is like oop;; :x and hopes nobody catches him out, only Shota and Ryota both do XD;;
~
Endless Summer... They call Maachin down onto the stage to dance and sing it with them. Maachin can't remember the dance and is like kjfdgkjsfgkhsg um um but, but, um...
Yaracchi insists that it's fine, come on Maachin, come on :D so he trots down onto the stage and flails a bit because he can't remember the dance and SHOTA REMIND ME OF THE DANCE QUICKLY 8D;; so he and Shota head toward the back of the stage and quickly practice the dance (Shota you are wonderful, thank you ♥) so they practice and Yaracchi is like, okay are you ready now?
Maachin: sdkghdfkgjfdhkjg not yet, hang on;;
Yaracchi: Hurry up XD;; You'll be fine!
then,
Yaracchi: And you remember the lyrics, don't you?
Maachin: Yes, I remember those!
Yaracchi: Jaa, then let's begin \XD/
Then they perform Endless Summer together, and make Maachin do a good chunk of the dance break by himself (wherein he momentarily flounders but then rallies wonderfully and is fantastic. GO MAACHIN \8D/). Yaracchi drags Maachin with him to the central aisle too, and takes his baseball cap off him in the process. Endless Summer performed by YaraMachi with They Budou. It is perfect. One of the Yaracchi fans next to me cried a lot, and we happened to catch each others' eye and realise that we were both sobbing, so we hugged mid-song and YaraMachi were amused by this. orz
~
At the end, Yaracchi's first signball got stuck up in the ceiling (good try, Tomoyuki XD) and he was like lol, sorry, I only have two so... can't be helped \XD;;/
~
Final show there were two encores! For the last part, Tsuka-chan appeared on the stage and sang G to the Heaven with them, (and they were all wearing cockroach antennae which they then put on Tsuka -- all of them) only HE said "Gokiburi... to the Heaven" instead of Yaracchi (OTL) and Yaracchi was like sfkghjfkgjh that was MY line dammit ;; Then they decided to sing Endless Summer one more time (since they hadn't actually planned for a second encore XD) and they invited ALL the guests onto the stage, all of the MADE boys and the other Jrs and Maachin and Tsuka and Daisuke all together, gave them a chance to talk about the show and their impressions of it, and so on...
Yaracchi said, about the Superstar thing (and general bullying throughout): You know, Ryota, we only bully you because your reactions are so incredibly cute, right? We only do it because you're adorable and everybody loves it when you flail. You're really cute. ♥
Goto also mentioned that he was really grateful to have had this chance, he was really touched and owed Yaracchi a lot for inviting him, he was really glad and Yaracchi was a great senpai and he really looked up to him, etc etc etc ♥
Yaracchi: ;; really? No no, it's...
Goto: Everything I just said was a lie. :3
Yaracchi: E-!! :( ← lol, cute♥
Except it wasn't really a lie; Goto is such a sweetheart;; ♥ So they all sing and dance Endless Summer together one last time and then that's it, the show is finally over, fourth show in two days and no more YaraThey Crea.
Last show was nearly two and a half hours. It was basically wonderful. They quickly improved the things that needed improving, they created something that was funny and touching and entertaining and ENJOYABLE and made me so, so ridiculously proud of all of them. They were supported by their senpai and by their kouhai; they were able to sing and dance on-stage in a way that some of them never have before; they had the chance to be the stars (all of them, even Ryota) in a way that has definitely never happened for them before... They did really, really well. Good job, boys. ♥
And now it is 2:30am and I have work tomorrow ARGH. If you read anything that contradicts my reports please let me know and I'll doublecheck because I'm reeeeeally tired right now, haha.

This time when They are rearranging the positioning of the stairs for the Shock parody, Goto comes out dressed as a stage hand, complete with little flashlight and tape measure and everything. He has a mic and verbally bullies the boys as they push the stairs into place, WHY ARE YOU SO USELESS, OI SOMEONE GO DEAL WITH THAT OTHER STAIRCASE, HURRY UP, HURRY UP. XD;; Then he takes out a silver camera and tells them to pose on the stairs so he can take a picture. Ha? Goto starts counting down, 10… 9… "Too long!" says Shota. Okay, chee~zu~!

This time, Edacchi gets into like the whole second line of the song before Ryota breaks!

For the drink batsu game, I guess to compensate for the earlier show, there was a CRAPTON of citric acid in the drink.

So of course, he had to intro Lovesick in a 'cool and cute way'. Yabai, but it was so bitter, I really want a drink of water, can I have some water? No, no, Yaracchi says. Not yet. Intro the song first. Yabai. Okay.
So, Shota's way of introducing the song? He tells us to please listen to Lovesick in this low, cool voice (which actually is really cool;;;) and then blows the audience a kiss. IT IS ADORABLE. Everybody kyaas. Both Ryota and Shota successfully managed to intro Lovesick in a way that combined both cool and cute, I'm oddly proud of them :")

Charge phonecall. The audience all scolds Yaracchi when it turns out it's his phone. IT'S YOU. AAAAAH. Busted. +___+ Bad boy, Yaracchi. It's another message from Koichi, this time promoting Song Writers which Yaracchi has thus far entirely failed to promote (...clever boy XD) except this time when he grovels and Ryota asks if they can continue again, someone in the audience is like NO and he's like, please ;__; I'm really sorry ;____; and they relent (XD)
So then we have We Will Rock you again, and then back to Charge. CHARGE. THE WRONG TUNE. AGAIN. After Goto had expressly told him that he sang the phrase wrong during the matinee show. The audience laughs at Yaracchi before we even get round to singing back to him.
Yaracchi: [while lalala-ing] Why are you all laughing, though?
Goto: Because you're singing the tune wrong. Again.
Yaracchi: ? [keeps singing]
Audience: [sings the correct tune back]
Yaracchi: [realises; collapses and dies]
It was HILARIOUS.
Goto: I TOLD YOU BEFORE. THE PHRASE WAS WRONG. The real phrase was this: [♪la~la~ lala~ lalalala~ ♪lala~ lalalala~ ♪lala~ lala~ la~la~la~la~♪]. You were singing this: [la~s the incorrect tune]. It's not that, it's this! [correct tune] ♪DO~ ♪RA~ ♪RE~ ♪MI~!
Yaracchi: [falls onto the floor, rolls around, refuses to get up] Really? Really? No. No, really? omg. Yesterday I did it right though?
Goto: Nope.
Yaracchi: omg. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; omg. Mou. omg. No way. I have no confidence any more. I'm done. omg. ;;;;;;;;;; REALLY?? Cry.
Goto: Don't worry, they still love you.
Yaracchi: But, but, it's my Playzone song. My Playzone song. Why do you know my Playzone song? ((← he sounds super pouty and sulky here, it's hilarious and adorable))
Goto: Because I LISTENED TO IT.
Audience: fuuuuuuuu~ XD
Yaracchi: Maa, I'm done. It's finished.
Audience: Ganbare!
Yaracchi: Ahhh why are you saying that! Really!! Nooooo. Mou, it's enough. It's a live, I've gotta keep going. Sobs. ;;
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I sob. It was the funniest thing. Oh lord.
Then it's time for They's corner, only... Ryota's mic stand is still shrunk from the matinee show;; Nobody fixed it for him, lol. It's a tough job, being a short idol. XD It's at this point they bully Eda-chan for having spoken so much at the matinee show but for BARELY SPEAKING AT ALL in the soiree show XD Edanyan e_e"
~
When staff!Goto comes out to fix the stairs with them, this time they all call Yaracchi out from backstage to take a photo with them ;; He was drinking water though, and comes out holding his water bottle. Clearly acting nonchalant after being rejected earlier u_u They go to take a photo with him and Goto takes the photo, but...
Goto: Ah, wait a minute, one more time? Yara's eyes were closed XD;
orz XD Then Yaracchi is like, right, okay, now Shota take one of Goto! and Goto's like, ? me? and they're like, of course! You're in the show too, right? Go on, stand there.
So he does go to stand at the foot of the stairs all on his own with his black backstage staff outfit and strikes a cool pose and has his photo taken too XD; ♥

Superstar, Ryota is VISIBLY DREADING getting onto the tinsel-decorated box to make the music start a second time XD; VISIBLY. Mou, but, ahh, I have to do this. Mouuuu;;;; Music... start? [silence] IYAAARGKHJFSKGFSKHJG WHYYYYY IT'S THE LAST SHOW WHY COULD I NOT MAKE THE MUSIC STAKJHFSBGOLSJDFGNSKJDHFG CRY
Move over, Yaracchi says. Okay, so... let's think about this. Yesterday matinee was Eda-chan. Then Shota. This morning was Goto. So... could it be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~? 8D? 8D 8D 8D?? Maybe? Maybe maybe? 8D?
So he gets on the box, spread his arms wide, and says "I am deeply sorry for having kept you waiting. Music, start!"
And it does! \XD/ Ryota crumples. Everyone dances around Yaracchi singing Superstar on top of his box. Everyone except Ryota has fun. \XD/

MC, and I'm getting really sleepy so this is going to be patchy at best. Tonight Tsuka and Maachin were able to talk, and they also introduced the other people that were there to watch. Three members of MADE (they did point out that there are normally more people but that tonight there were only three people watching) plus Ishigaki Daisuke and Ogawa Yu and some other kid and erg what did they even talk about... Introduced themselves and talked about how much fun it had been... About the last times they'd hung out... Goto being awesome and being able to do back handsprings in addition to everything else... Daisuke and Goto talked for a bit... Yaracchi talked to one of the other kids and was like, do we know you? so he answered, "Yes, from Enbujou!"
Yaracchi: But I wasn't in Enbujou?
Kid: But They Budou were...
Yaracchi: Ah, you worked with them! Okay, yes. XD;;
(sorry, I forgot who he was .__.)
What else... Yaracchi talked about Tsuka having been in Butoukan together with him and Ryota before; Tsuka promoted his stuff, and they were like, aren't you super busy right now? And he was like, it's fine! I'm only working on three or four things right now! 8D! ← or something to that effect.

Furitsuke corner! Ryota actually gave it a stupidly long name, but I have no idea what it was any more. He kept making mistakes when he spoke too, and they were like ? but he shrugged it off every time, saying "It's fine, my fans will understand me n_n"
This time, furitsuke dance was: Missing Piece (which was done perfectly). Not satisfied! says Ryota. Okay, next! Koakuma Juliet. Nope, not enough! NEXT! Crazy Moon! They dance almost all of it. NO, I'M STILL NOT SATISFIED. NEXT! MUSIC, START!
It is at this point that Goto RUSHES out onto the stage, pushing the tinsel-decorated box from before on top of which is dumped Ryota's 'Star Yamamoto' jacket, and Ryota quickly throws it on and jumps on top of the box because YEEEEES I'M A SUPER STA~AR~! and he is so happy, so dazzlingly unabashedly shiningly brilliantly OVERFLOWINGLY HAPPY I have never seen anybody so happy in my whole life, I have told like everyone I've spoken to about this so far GUYS HE. WAS. SO. HAPPY. HE. GLOWED. it was hysterical, Yaracchi lost it and so did half the audience, and they all danced around Ryota on his box because he finally, finally got to be the star at last and he was so giddy I actually thought he would float. XD;
When that song ended, Ryota got down from the box and AHHH THAT WAS AWESOME, THAT FELT SO GREAT, IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO BE UP THERE DOESN'T IT KSDJHDKFJGFSKGJFGK I GOT TO BE A STAR ^__________________^
Yaracchi: So, about my furitsuke corner...?
Ryota: IT FEELS SO GOOD ^_____^ UWAAAA
Yaracchi: ...
Shota: ...
Eda-chan: ...
Ryota: KIMOCHII ^_______^ Okay let's go get the stand mics now ^_____^
Yaracchi: Aren't they called mic stands?
Ryota: Whatever, my fans will understand me ^____^
So they get the mic stands and... Ryota's is still tiny XD ?? says Ryota. Mine even has my name written on it! Cry ;; even the staff-san bully me;;
One Love is nearly perfect, this time Goto messes up a little near the end and is like oop;; :x and hopes nobody catches him out, only Shota and Ryota both do XD;;
~
Endless Summer... They call Maachin down onto the stage to dance and sing it with them. Maachin can't remember the dance and is like kjfdgkjsfgkhsg um um but, but, um...
Yaracchi insists that it's fine, come on Maachin, come on :D so he trots down onto the stage and flails a bit because he can't remember the dance and SHOTA REMIND ME OF THE DANCE QUICKLY 8D;; so he and Shota head toward the back of the stage and quickly practice the dance (Shota you are wonderful, thank you ♥) so they practice and Yaracchi is like, okay are you ready now?
Maachin: sdkghdfkgjfdhkjg not yet, hang on;;
Yaracchi: Hurry up XD;; You'll be fine!
then,
Yaracchi: And you remember the lyrics, don't you?
Maachin: Yes, I remember those!
Yaracchi: Jaa, then let's begin \XD/
Then they perform Endless Summer together, and make Maachin do a good chunk of the dance break by himself (wherein he momentarily flounders but then rallies wonderfully and is fantastic. GO MAACHIN \8D/). Yaracchi drags Maachin with him to the central aisle too, and takes his baseball cap off him in the process. Endless Summer performed by YaraMachi with They Budou. It is perfect. One of the Yaracchi fans next to me cried a lot, and we happened to catch each others' eye and realise that we were both sobbing, so we hugged mid-song and YaraMachi were amused by this. orz
~
At the end, Yaracchi's first signball got stuck up in the ceiling (good try, Tomoyuki XD) and he was like lol, sorry, I only have two so... can't be helped \XD;;/
~
Final show there were two encores! For the last part, Tsuka-chan appeared on the stage and sang G to the Heaven with them, (and they were all wearing cockroach antennae which they then put on Tsuka -- all of them) only HE said "Gokiburi... to the Heaven" instead of Yaracchi (OTL) and Yaracchi was like sfkghjfkgjh that was MY line dammit ;; Then they decided to sing Endless Summer one more time (since they hadn't actually planned for a second encore XD) and they invited ALL the guests onto the stage, all of the MADE boys and the other Jrs and Maachin and Tsuka and Daisuke all together, gave them a chance to talk about the show and their impressions of it, and so on...
Yaracchi said, about the Superstar thing (and general bullying throughout): You know, Ryota, we only bully you because your reactions are so incredibly cute, right? We only do it because you're adorable and everybody loves it when you flail. You're really cute. ♥
Goto also mentioned that he was really grateful to have had this chance, he was really touched and owed Yaracchi a lot for inviting him, he was really glad and Yaracchi was a great senpai and he really looked up to him, etc etc etc ♥
Yaracchi: ;; really? No no, it's...
Goto: Everything I just said was a lie. :3
Yaracchi: E-!! :( ← lol, cute♥
Except it wasn't really a lie; Goto is such a sweetheart;; ♥ So they all sing and dance Endless Summer together one last time and then that's it, the show is finally over, fourth show in two days and no more YaraThey Crea.
Last show was nearly two and a half hours. It was basically wonderful. They quickly improved the things that needed improving, they created something that was funny and touching and entertaining and ENJOYABLE and made me so, so ridiculously proud of all of them. They were supported by their senpai and by their kouhai; they were able to sing and dance on-stage in a way that some of them never have before; they had the chance to be the stars (all of them, even Ryota) in a way that has definitely never happened for them before... They did really, really well. Good job, boys. ♥
And now it is 2:30am and I have work tomorrow ARGH. If you read anything that contradicts my reports please let me know and I'll doublecheck because I'm reeeeeally tired right now, haha.
