[fan report translation] You&Jin solo live Feb 14th&15th&16th
14th
MC part in the afternoon show
Jin: Valentine day ne. Who will you give the chocolate to?
Fans: Jin
Jin: That’s not right (smile bitterly). You should give it to your lover or husband. Today is Valentine day, and I see husbands who are forced to come with their wives…I got 4 chocolates, although all of them are obligation ones. A sister like girl just came and gave me the chocolate. She called me and said that she made it with her friend yesterday, but her friend forgot it at home. See? But I’m still very happy.
Jin: There’s another co-operated song. You guys know Nishikido Ryo? With a monkey face…a monkey like Otoko (laugh)
Before the song Paparats, he talked about how tabloids made the rumour about him being arrested, and his manager called him when he’s eating hotpot with Ryo. “Are you arrested?”, and Jin answered “if I’m arrested, who’s answering your phone”.
Fans: We believe in you.
Jin: Replaced? (LOL…no idea if he‘s joking or simply didn‘t hear clearly)
According to a dancer’s blog, Jin brought them a big tray of valentine donuts on that day.
Evening
# Matsujun from Arashi went. He's wearing a fedora and sitting beside the aisle. There were interesting guests around, long-haired Kaneko like guy, a mix blooded beauty and Akun from Question. Hikaru and Takaki from HSJ were also there, but they sit at the other side.
# In Hey Girl, Jin went to the backof the stage and grabbed Ryo out with him. All went very high. They were pointing to the audience when they sang “you you you”. They also played air guitar fact to face, very cute. Ryo said hallo without mic. After they finished the song, Jin said “Nishikido de shi ta”. Ryo went off the stage and sit next to Matsujun. As Jun was sitting beside the aisle, so Ryo was actually sitting on an extra fold-able seat brought there. Seems like he wasn’t comfortable with the seat, so he’s moving constantly, very cute (XD).
# In the ending part, Jin was lowering his back onto the floor again, and a dancer put his hand under in case that Jin would fall, but Jin still ended up flatting on the floor~XD
# Jun&Ryo left a bit earlier than the audience. A staff came and called them to follow him. Jun’s clapping hands while he stood up.
# After the live, the reporter met gogo brother at the station. She and her friend said hallo to them. They took the same bus. So they got to know that these two dancers are American Japanese. They got to know Jin because of Rescue PV, and this time Jin invited them. They said that Jin’s English is pretty good, as well as the pronunciation. They also said that Jin’s very nice and easy-going.
*Seems like koki also went, but he sit with the audience. Quite a few audience spotted him, so it should be correct information.
MC
# Jin said he got four chocolates. Jin thought two of them were real valentine chocolates not just the obligation ones. One was from a 10 year old little sister like girl (we all know who he’s talking about). The audience went “ehhhhhh?” Jin went “ehhhhhh?” too and said “I’m not loli kon”(XD). He then said that the chocolate was made by the girl herself and she gave it to him, so he asked “is that real valentine one?”. She said “no, that one is for Kenta-kun…” So Jin was shocked…and felt very sad… he was like I’ve been watching you gowning up for 10 years, now you told me your real one is kenta-kun. WHO'S that kenta-kun?! This kind of feeling is like one day your daughter grows up and refuses to bath with her daddy…sabishii kind of feeling. Jin said he ate all the chocolates he got and he repeated shock for quite a few times. (XD)
# The younger guy from gogo brother passed a glass of water to Jin, so Jin drank it happily. People kept shouting out where they were from. Hokkaido, Kyodo, Australia…Hongkong, (the reporter said) Shanghai, also France. The French girl said she just arrived and might stay for a week. Jin translated what she said in Japanese to other audience, very cute~
Notes of 15th
# Jin pretended he’s sleeping when fans shouted out where they were from.
# When he’s singing Care, he took the hoodie off, and combed his hair back with hand and flipped some strings under his ear, so you can see his beautiful profile, and the reporter just went kyaaaaaa~~~~
# Jin put his arm around a girl's neck and sang Change after he walked off to the assisting seats, which made other audience very jealous~(XD)
# In the ending part, Jin walked down to the E row, where there’re boxes, and he danced on a box. Fans in the front rows all moved there and tried to touch him.
MC
Jin: About Wonder in the beginning. As it’s not released, I think you guys probably don’t know.
The audience; We know!
Jin: How did you know that?
The audience: Concerts!
Jin: Ah ah, the concerts. Thank you for going.
The audience: The concert DVD!
Jin: en? Ah~ concert DVD ka!
The audience: Hai!
Jin: Kirai…my head is aching now!
The audience: Please release Wonder!
Jin: Then you guys go ask Johnny-san for that (laugh)
A fan said something really touching in her report, so I translated some of her words there.
She talked about how much she enjoyed the show and how much she loved it, although she couldn’t understand English. She felt happier than watching KT concerts because there’s no distance. She never felt so close to Jin.
She then talked about the pamphlet interview.
“The pamphlet, ah… it’s so Jin. He knows everything. He knows how he’s looked at, criticized and expected. He knows all but he can’t and he won’t follow what he’s asked. Somehow, I think he’s really strong, stronger than what I’ve ever imagined
I like Akanishi Jin even more than before.
He says ‘it’s already enough if those who understand me do understand.’ ‘Even if I would be badly misunderstood, I’ll go my way. Things will be just like that”.
However, being someone who likes Jin, I still hope others can understand him.
Akanishi Jin is indeed like this. All those are just misunderstandings.
However since he said that, so maybe just let it be.
Not even a bit of lie in the pamphlet. Although he looks very strong but indeed he's very sensitive. Although he’s talented enough to bring us such a great stage, he’s indeed very clumsy.
So I can’t stop crying. Is it really ok for you? Is it really enough for you only those who understand you do understand you? Won’t you get hurt by those things? I was crying and at the same time smiling when I read the pamphlet. It’s so Jin…which made me cry with bitter smiles.
16th
Two shows mixed together
# Kasahara-kun, and KT member Yuichi and Junno went. When Yuichi and Junno appeared, the audience went quite hyper ne. Before the live started, Junno waved hands to the audience on the first floor, and the audience went kya~~~Yuichi did it too. It said that Maru and Taguchi went too high during the show and they danced with their hands in the air (wait? Or they did their dance move sitting on their chairs? Is confused), so the staff had to come and stop them. They also shook hands with fans but were stopped by the staff~:’) When the show’s over, they left before the audience and they did V hand gesture to Jin on the stage and Jin waved back.
# Jin did ero dance in Keep it up, which was pretty much the same as he did in the ero dance before Care in 2005 concerts (WOW~god knows how much I miss Jin’s hip rolls there~). He also did some ero movies with the female dancers.
# Feel like each time the show is maturing itself. In Care, Jin’s totally the incarnation of Beautifulness.
# Jin constantly played with Joey’s waist.
# In the afternoon one, the assisting seats had a male audience (probably older than 30). Jin said hallo and thank you to him. The dancer threw the handkerchief (with jin’s sweat) to that guy this time (WHY? O.o), but an oba-san fan pulled it away from that guy and took it home (o.O”) In the evening one, there’s a 44 years old oji-san fan…(I’ll translate his blog later.)
# Jin kept stumbling on words in MC, and he smiled bitterly and said he’s really not good at MC~
# Josh joked something like the next one was Yamapi. Jin said no, and Josh then said “next one is Jin”.
# Seems like his hair was a bit shorter compared with the earlier shows. The color also looked a bit brighter.
# When the evening show finished, many audience on the second floor stood up and clapped for long time then the whole venue joined and clapped for long long time. It’s apparently not for encore but merely showed their feelings towards the show.
# The reporter took the same bus with the boy sitting on an assisting seat, so she chatted with him for a bit. The boy’s only at grade 6. She asked him why he likes Jin, and the boy said Jin’s very kakkoii!! The reporter said the one who got the handkerchief in the evening show must be this boy. (o.O I don’t really get this handkerchief manic…)
The oji-san fan’s report
“…
From the very beginning, I knew Jin noticed me, so I tried my best to sing with him.
The box was placed right beside me today, which was for dancers in the previous shows.
Then Jin walked towards here.
I really wanted to touch him, but I know Jin hates it, so I tried my best not to…(I’m glad you didn’t~==)
Jin climbed onto the box and he’s only 10cm away from me.
I shouted Yeah!
Jin then made a face (which is so rare for him) and said Yeah to me! Even the hand move was the same as mine.
He also bended over and looked at me.
Kira kira…no words can describe him.
….” (some fan-oji-sanlism I don't wanna translate~;P)
