2019/01/20 Gero Birthday Live

[tennokoe]

Gero was turning 33, so he sang 33 songs!!

• The stage was in the middle of the floor, with the band on the outside edges and a raised part where gero stood. There were mics for all of them so they could talk
• He could basically turn around and face any direction he wanted when singing, so that was really cool! Most people were concentrated facing where the “front” normally would be, so he faced that way quite often
• There was a giant light-up 33 on the back wall, and on the other side was a screen which showed each song title as they came up
• At the start of the show, the band walked out from a place pretty close to me!!
• I really like gero’s outfit! He had this long black jacket which looked super good on him, but he took it off pretty early on because he was sweating so much
• He called himself crazy for doing 33 songs :’)
• He did originals that he’s never performed!!
• There was an original medley, an original ballad medley, and a jpop medley!
• He also did a bunch of vocaloid songs~
• The ballad medley ended with a metal version of love letter where he screamed his head off LOL
• The jpop medley included USA and lemon!
• Puyo actually joined gero at the top of the stage for one song in the jpop medley
• He was talking about marriage at some point?
• This led into him singing Panic at the Disco’s Death of a Bachelor! I was SO surprised at his English pronunciation?! He was super good
• I really liked his scissorhands too
• Apparently gero had caught the flu after the countdown performance, but he seemed pretty energetic, which was good
• He made fun of dasoku for like no reason LMAO
• He said he was NOT going to do a countdown live again this year, because it was so rough on him….. We were all like EHHH but he relented and said maybe he’d do something but definitely not the same way he did it last year…. Maybe just a group performance
• For almost one entire song, he messed around on stage with the other band members, dancing in front on them with a stupid expression on his face
• Before the jpop medley, they brought out a birthday cake for him!!
• He also opened presents~ the band gave him a frieza plushie and some sort of figure?
• He also got wearable speakers, a fancy eye mask, and an adidas jacket which he put on for the jpop medley afterwards! It was a really stylish jacket…..
• The last 3 songs were roki, beloved survival, and the bandits!
• He told us there wouldn’t be an encore tonight and we made a bunch of noise over that but he yelled back at us and was like IM TIRED I SANG 33 SONGS NO WAY
• As they left, they ran around the stage giving people high fives!
