2019/10/06 HanaPoko Tour Yokohama

[tennokoe]

I went to see HanaPoko at Yokohama! The guest was ASK. It was a sit-down event, which kind of surprised me! Hanatan was the one that arranged the setlist this time around. They talked a looooot and it was so hilarious i nearly cried from laughing so hard...... It was a wild time.

• Hanatan came out singing tengaku! Then halfway through the song, the instrumental restarted from the beginning and….. Pokota came out and started singing?! Hanatan made an X sign with her arms and he stopped, then the instrumental restarted AGAIN and this time ASK finally came out!! They left the stage as everyone screamed and he finished the rest of the song
• They all returned to the stage and talked about last year’s Nagoya performance which ASK guested on, and how even though he was a surprise guest he was the opening act?! He asked if that would really be okay and said their fans were going to be like “who is this?!” but pokota assured him they’d be happy LOL
• They re-enacted hanatan breaking her shoe right before the performance and the chaos that ensued, and how ASK came out of it completely composed and sparkly to sing tengaku
• Hanatan guested for the rootfive performance the day before, so they talked a little about that!
• She said she was also nervous, being a secret guest :’)
• They discussed whose performance it’d be the scariest to guest at and pokota said valshe LOL
• Pokota said he’s normally a tsukkomi, but since rootfive has too many tsukkomis, he has to play boke to balance it out
• Koma’n is the sole boke
• Hanatan brought up gero and yugepo and their kansai comedy style but pokota was like “they’re both bokes, you know?! I don’t know how ask handles them”
• ask was like “I don’t”
• Yesterday, hanatan was practising a difficult song backstage and mi-chan started singing along, then pokota yelled at him saying she wouldn’t be able to practise properly like that
• Hanatan wanted him to show ASK how he came out for Charles yesterday, so he showed us…. . he had a towel between his legs and jumped forward bit by bit while pulling the towel back and forth and it was super innappropriate…. lord
• Hanatan was in the cutest fluffiest dress and her hair was half up in curled pigtails!! She and Pokota had matching patterns on their clothes
• At one point hanatan lifted up pokota’s bangs (I think they were discussing him balding again) and the second time she did it someone Kya’d??? and pokota was like WHAT’S WITH THAT KYA, I DON’T WANT THAT
• ASK and hanatan sang suki kirai, but during the “baldy” part they turned around to look backstage with emphasis (at pokota
• they changed some of the lyrics but the only part I caught was hanatan saying she’s in her 30s (instead of 14)
• They kept insisting ask wasn’t a guest, but instead this is actually a two-man!!
• Hanatan disappeared for a while and returned with Halloween things to wear! There were pumpkin wands, a pumpkin headband, and a witch hat headband. She held the headbands up to ASK and asked him which one looked stupider (pumpkin) and then handed it to Pokota, who was like “I knew this was coming”
• She laughed when he put it on and said an idiot’s wearing an idiot
• Somehow this turned into “a baldy’s wearing an idiot”
• She then put on the witch hat (SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!!!!) and ASK was like “?!?! wh-wheres mine?!?!?”
• She told him that since this was a two-man, he should have brought his own costume
• They got him to leave the stage, and started singing some Halloween songs!!
• During trick or treat, ASK came back out to join them, wearing a big vampire cape and a gigantic plush cat pumpkin hat???? He posed in the middle like the birth of venus and hanatan and pokota poked him with their wands. Pokota kept going for his crotch
• Hanatan talked like right in the middle of so many songs and it’d confuse the fuck out of the other two but she’d just slip right back into singing with no problem while the two of them were left going ???? ??? ?!?!? ?!?!?
• There was also an acoustic part where Pokota sang one of Hanatan’s ballads~ it was really nice
• When the keyboardist came out to join hanapoko, even he was joining in on the craziness so pokota had to tsukkomi him as well
• Hanatan talked into the intro for one of their ballads and the keyboardist stopped playing, but pokota told him to go again and this time as she kept talking over the piano he started playing with EMPHASIS
• Hanatan also tilted the lyrics stand so Pokota couldn’t see it, then asked him if he would be okay to sing, to which he insisted he would be fine. Then during the song he kept pointedly looking over at the stand until she lifted it up and walked away to one corner of the stage
• Pokot also sang some of Gackt’s songs! Hanatan said that there was a karaoke session they streamed a long time ago where she thought he sounded really good singing a specific Gackt song, so she put it in the setlist. He changed into the traditional looking outfit he’s been wearing for his tour’s promo
• He was so energetic and good…. He’s really got that rocker vibe
• Pokota said one of Gackt’s stylists was actually here today as their stylist!! Everyone was so surprised, and Hanatan and ASK were like wow…. Such an amazing person helped style us today…
• Pokota’s hair extension was put in by them, so hanatan went to touch it and was like wow…… it feels like the real gackt………. (??????!!!)
• She also started looking into the sky and said “thank you stylist………..” and ASK was like “instead of doing that you can tell them directly, after the show??? Please????”
• After pokota’s solos was Cantarella!! He was singing alone on stage at first so I thought Hanatan would join him, but to my surprise, ASK did instead!!
• Pokota had kind of been looking towards backstage as he was singing, and ASK joined justin time for his part
• It turns out ask and hanatan were casually sitting backstage discussing ff7 when he suddenly heard the instrumental for cantarella play and he got up and rushed onto the stage, bursting out looking totally confident LOL
• At the very end, ASK went behind pokota and put his arm around him, but pokota totally did not take it seriously and just looked back and forth between us and ASK, wide-eyed,while their faces were extremely close together
• Pokota asked how hanatan and ask’s conversations usually go when they’re alone and ask was like “we’ve known each other for 10 years but when i used to pick her up she would get into the seat directly behind me so i can’t see her and stay silent the entire time
• Sometimes she’d make a small comment on the weather
• Multiple times, hanatan would go get a drink in the back of the stage and leave pokota to talk, and he stalls for quite a while but then suddenly turns back at her like, “HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA DRINK FOR?!”
• She’d just blink at him, unmoving, with the straw still in her mouth
• During one of the group songs, pokota stopped and just looked at ASK, then said “this guy is probably twice koman’s height”
• “Those legs are probably 2 metres long”
• Hanapoko sang ah, subarashiki nyansei and hanatan was ADORABLE OMFG during the chorus she’d dance along with nya poses and it was like she was an idol i loved it so much
• They sang a group Madness of Duke Venomania aaaahhhhhh I love how well pokota fits it!!
• Pokota complained that it was such a hard song and hanatan was like, yeah, I agree (She sang every girl part, so)
• Hanatan was seriously so good in every single song OMFG the pure power in her VOICE I LOVE HER
• hanatan tried to imitate something cool kettan said the day before but it just ended up sounding like she was making fun of him
• During a lot of the MC, hanatan would inch closer and closer to the others until ask shouted "you're too close!!!"
• pokota pointed out that as she got closer ask would inch further away from her towards him
• at the end they were all clustered at pokotas side of the stage, still talking
• pokota: im 36
• ask&hanatan: mm at that age the balding makes sense
• There was an ask fan near the very front and they were carrying one of those idol fans…… they asked if they could take a look at it and one side said to do finger guns so ASK did it at a bunch of people and hanatan was like “ah all those people died”
• Pokota told him he didn’t even direct it at the fan owner LOL
• pokota was trying to promote asks's CDs and said that even the people that "don't like ask" should check them out and hanatan was like THATS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD SAY IT???
• ASK was like “thats okay, [ikemen voice] ✨you can come to like me✨”
• They announced that Hanapoko finale would have ASK and kakichoco as guests!!! And pokota suggested hanatan make the setlist again!!
• They really talked SO MUCH pokota told hanatan that at the next one with ASK and kakichoco there’d be four of them so there’d be much less time to talk and hanatan was like :c
• They praised hanatan’s song choices a lot~ the entire setlist really was good…. There were a lot of satisfying choices
• "maybe hanatan could sing some of ask's originals next time"
• "like tengaku"
• "tengaku is NOT MY SONG you're going to get me into trouble???"
• At the end when they were saying their last words, it was hanatan’s turn and she said she wasn’t good at talking
• The other two were like HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!
• When they took pictures, pokota yelled that he’s the only one that shows his face!!!!!
• Aomofu was watching, standing in the back! People talked to her a little before and after the show, and during the commemorative photo she crouched down and threw up a peace sign, and some people in the back laughed like “i thought you’d do that lol”

• At the very end, they had a hi-touch session with the audience!! They said they wanted ASK to go into the audience from the stage and hand out candy to everyone, but the seats were very close together so that would have been impossible LOL. Instead, they gave out candy as we left
• I was pretty far in the back, so I was one of the first to do hi-touch! Hanatan was first down the line, and it kept slowing down because of her LOL she kept talking and was soo cute…..
• ASK was next! I wore his earcuff and I think he was looking for people wearing his stuff and noticed me while I was in the line but I looked away immediately because I cant… handle that…….. When I got to him I remembered just how TALL he is WOW I was like craning my neck up LOL and he was so pretty……………………………. My brain stopped working
• Pokota was handing out candy at the end of the lineup!! He was holding SO MUCH candy at a time and gave everyone a bunch! He was so cheerful and cute hahaha it was a really nice way to leave the venue
