2019/10/27 Wolpis Carter One-Man "2019 Wolpis Corp. Annual Shareholder Meeting"

I went to Wolpis Carter's oneman live!! It was at Toyosu Pit. All his staff, including everyone selling merch, were wearing business suits! I thought it was really cute.


Merch! I love the plushie so MUCH


A really pretty flower stand!

• Inside the venue, there were five screens (on in the stage) showing the company logo. There was a big banner at the top reading something like: "Wolpis Carter Company Meeting", and two flags with the logo on it on either side of the stage
• The short commercial he posted youtube played on the big screen!
• The band members all came out in a line first, also wearing suits, and we all started murmuring and laughing
• They took their places, and the banner lifted. Then, audio of a helicopter landing started playing?? It landed, and there were crisp footsteps as someone stepped out. Then, a cell phone rang, and Wolpis' voice answered it!!
• It was clearly some sort of business call?? He spoke entirely in English and there were Japanese and English subtitles being shown on the screen. He thanked the caller for gifting him a big expensive statue (a picture of ke-pon was shown on screen). He also mentioned the new years' live with Sou and Isubokuro and then said something about Sou being extremely busy??
• The call ends and he finally steps out onto the stage!!! He cut his hair sooo short and it's mostly black, but you can barely see that he put in a tiny sliver of blue extensions on one side! He was wearing a very nice suit
• The entire setlist was crazyyyyyy but it totally makes sense because he only sings crazy songs….. Most of them were originals, i think!!
• I really liked Kugutsu Mime, 1%, amako, and M in particular…….
• There was also a lot of MCing and…. ???? skits???? i totally didnt expect that
• He complained right away that he knows we all love concerts but he hates them and he's tired LOL
• Very early on (first or second song?) streamers popped out over us!! gold and silver
• The first special guest was harumaki gohan!! He stepped out while the lights were dimmed but no one made a sound in reaction?? I had no idea it was him until he was introduced! Wolpis asked us if we've seen his face before, and it seems no one? has, which explains the reaction. He was dressed very comfily in a nice big cardigan and looked really cute~ It was a sharp contrast to everyone else in suits LOL. He played the guitar for their collab songs and sang as well!!
• For amako, wolpis sang sssoooo high…… it was crazy, especially since he had already done a bunch of hard songs before that
• After harumaki gohan left, the lights dimmed and we could see a table and chairs being brought (cue more murmuring and giggling)
• SO MANY PEOPLE in suits, like 15? came out and took places beside the table. they played the press. Wolpis and his assistant sat at the table and answered questions
• Apparently this press conference needed to be held because he had to lower the keys of all the songs he sang, and he apologized to everyone with a very long bow.
• They asked questions one by one, asking how many steps he had it lowered, etc. The press all had funny names…. one was something like "ke-pon news"
• "what is a high voice to you?" "life"
• One person asked something about a body part so after a pause he coughed, out very quickly, "penis"
• "What do you think of how changing the key affects your band members?" "It Is Their Duty"
• Lastly, someone asked about how he said on stream that he wouldn't post on niconico douga anymore, which was then cut off by his assistant as she ended the press conference and rushed him off the stage
• the press rushed after him, still shouting questions
• During MC, he talked about his suit, and said that he bought it a few years ago and only wore it to fancy events like weddings? He showed us just how tight the pants were on him by taking a step and bending a little…. He did not get to take a very big step LOL. he apologised in advance in case they ripped
• Wolpis talked about his last one-man, and mentioned his mom? i don't know if he meant she was here today, or she went last time, but he said that since she's not familiar with vocaloid and such, he wanted to sing a song that they both liked. I thought that was really nice…..
• The second skit was a morning meeting with his staff members! With the lights off, his fancy desk was brought out, and the "statue" was placed near the middle of the stage
• When the lights turned back on, we could see ke-pon sitting there as the statue, completely painted green. Like last time, he didn't move an inch and kept a completely neutral face the entire time. crazy
• Wolpis and his employees (the band members) recited the company code of conduct (?) one by one, but the band members totally couldn't keep a straight face most of the time because wolpis kept telling them to turn around to look at ke-pon….. the keyboardist (the one acting as his assistant during the press conference) was especially good though
• They each introduced themselves and said one line!!
• the point I understood the easiest was "when creating songs, don't take concerts into consideration at all" and we all really lost it at that
• The lights dimmed halfway as Wolpis relaxed in his chair and a secret extra point was flashed on the screen in big scary red letters. It was a change to one of the previous points, but I didn't understand it enough to Get It, unfortunately
• then, ke-pon got up out of his stand and started marching back and forth across the stage as menacing audio played?!?? we were losing in it the audience, but kind of terrified
• For the next singing portion, he did a few solos, then SILVANA was brought out as the next secret guest!! They talked for a bit and wolpis referred to him as silvana-san at first, then went "silvana-kun? that's kind of hard to say isn't it"
• apparently he rarely gets called that (?)
• then wolpis started talking directly to him and called him shiru-chan LOL he apologised to us and said theyre actually quite close
• They sang 3 songs together!! one of them was one they wrote together~ It was everyone's first time hearing it!
• The last one was Lion, which was included in one of silvana's CDs
• Wolpis went up to ke-pon at one point, shouted that his nipple was hard, touched it, then wiped his hand on ke-pon's hand, then slapped his boob and walked away??? ke-pon suddenly shifted his eyes towards wolpis and people screamed LOL
• Lastly, wolpis sang the song that was in the concert CM! Behind him, the full version of the CM looped a few times.
• That was the last song and he left the stage!
• Near the end of the performance, many of the band members had taken of their jackets for a much more casual look LOL… it must have been hot
• The guitarist? in particular, i feel like i remember him from new years'....... He was active and had a lot of personality
• ke-pon had still been left on stage as wolpis finished the last song?? He had been sitting there for so long too…. the lights dimmed, but a slight spotlight turned back on onto him…… Two chairs were brought out onto the stage
• It was silent for a bit, then people started shouting his name and told him it's okay to move and stuff
• Suddenly, he moved and took a drink of water!! everyone made surprised sounds
• He returned to position very quickly and we were all so confused…. there was giggling and the audience started talking to him again
• We were really confused?? we thought something was coming, and he took another drink after a long pause
• after some more silence, a really loud dude in the back shouted for an encore!! it immediately got everyone else going, and eventually wolpis and silvana came out!! they changed from their suits into more comfortable clothes. wolpis was wearing his amako hoodie. everyone made approving noises

Encore

• to start the encore, they said we'd watch the full CM as they did some commentary! silvana and wolpis made cameos, and he nodded approvingly at the couple as they watched fireworks or something LOL we all laughed
• they kept commenting on how long both of their hair was…. silvana said he wore boots to the beach LOL
• they said they both were not beach people at all, and wolpis can't see what's good about it
• They also showed some behind-the-scenes footage!! It was cute seeing them mess around on the beach…. wolpis stepped into the water as the waves were retreating, then ran away hastily as the waves came in again
• the actress was really cute! she threw up a peace sign towards the camera
• wolpis stood between the two actors and held up a calpis water?
• when it ended, wolpis turned to silvana and was like, "do i always look that stupid??!!?"
• They talked some more, and wolpis said that they wanted harumaki gohan to come out and watch with them as well but he was shy…. He ended up calling for him anyways, and apparently he had to run out from backstage in a panic LOL
• He tried to reenact it when they asked ,but got interrupted by wolpis as he yelled at him that he wasn't speaking into the mic HAHAHA
• He asked each of his guests to say one last thing! harumaki said that this concert was So big, and quickly stepped back :')
• silvana did his speech very properly
• Lastly, wolpis told us he was going to sing one last song, but that it was STUPID HIGH
• The band members came out again, also changed out of their suits
• someone in the audience shouted asking about ke-pon, and he was wordlessly making gestures before making a really loud Tsk noise and dismissing them LMFAOO
• He went into inochi no justitia, and suddenly ke-pon kicked free of his stand (with the help of staff) and joined in!! it was a duet!! he got us to cheer a lot and looked like he was having so much fun!!
• They talked a little bit after the song and he said he wasn't able to crash through his encasing well enough LOL
• Apparently he had no idea what to do when no one started the encore call
• Before they left the stage they asked what we thought about ke-pon or something and someone yelled really loudly CUTE and he left the stage
• Wolpis mentioned the next concert, and said there'd be a Very Big guest next time, who he's gotten the opportunity to work with quite often recently?
• He said there'd be a gift for us as we left the venue!! everyone was like OHHH?? and he told us that it wasn't anything big, just something that we'd also think had been a long time coming (it was calpis water)
• wolpis sang one last song, and that finished the concert!!

The parting gift :')

The skits were so fun and he was so good at the insane songs he chose!! I had such a good time, and I look forward to seeing him again~
