tennokoeThis was a sit-down event at Tsutaya O-East! Performers were Kony, clear, Nero, NORISTRY, Irie Ryou, Piko, Meychan, and Yuuto! A Jazz-themed event set at Bar MUSICARA.
Since it was a jazz-style event, they had two chorus members, a sax, a double base, and a variety of percussion in the band! The bassist was super cute…….. They all dressed a bit formally to match the atmosphere! There was a small bar set up with the sign MUSICARA above it, and a seating area beside the audience area with couches, stools, and alcohol, where the guests would go to hang out after singing! It was free seating but we got really amazing ticket numbers from the lottery, so we opted for the third row, smack in the middle, which I think was truly the best option for viewing…. Not too close so we had to strain our necks, but close enough to see everything clearly!
The concert started with Kony, the “owner” sitting at the bar! There was some narration, and kony did the first song of the day: garando!!! He was sooo good I love him so much!! He put so much power into parts of it and is so suited to jazz, I loved it. The next person to step on stage was NORISTRY! He bounced on over and was so adorable….. Kony talked to him for a bit and then returned to his seat at the bar. He did a solo as well, and Kony was in the background singing and dancing along on his chair lol. Then the narrator said nori’s beloved Nero, owner of Millfy, was arriving at the bar! They did a duet together and he was so excited….. It was ti amo! In the middle there’s a break and it’s supposed to be very dramatic as he whispers ~ti amo~ to nero but you could tell he could barely keep himself from laughing….. there were a few giggles from the audience as well because we could sense it from him hahaha. Nori then thanked nero profusely and stepped off into the seating area, and nero did a solo gossip! He was super cool…… The narration continued, and said the owner of Canaria was arriving! Clear stepped onto stage in more casual clothes and a scarf, complaining about the cold. He saw nero and asked him why he was dressed so nicely, and nero replied that on the contrary, why was clear dressed like this?! He explained that today was still a day off at Canaria looool. They looked towards kony, and kony demanded he “take it off”. Apparently there’s a dress code at musicara!! He gave his scarf to kony to hold onto, and then cleaner sang one of their originals together!! I think after that, clear did a solo as well! It was a version of fixer~ When nero joined nori in the seating area you could see nori excitedly greeting him and preparing a drink for him….. It was very cute.
I think after this followed Irie Ryou, meychan, and yuuto? They both did solos, I think. Irie came out already with a cup of alcohol in his hand, looking very pleased with himself….. He cheerfully got us to stand up for his song and was generally very cute! Yuuto did a duet with kony!!
Finally, mama piko made his appearance, as the owner of a snack bar next to bar musicara?! Kony made a show of leaving the bar with whoever last sang, and they changed the sign on Bar Musicara to Snackshop Newcomer….. Piko stepped onto stage from the right side in a very stylish-looking kimono-type outfit and so many people gasped and squealed…….. He really looked so good!! He did his little schtick back and forth with kony and then performed a beautiful yoshiwara lament for us!! He danced along and was soooo good……….. He messed up the timing in the middle and was like tehe I made a mistake~ Ahhh he was so cute!!
Afterwards, all of them were in the seating area and they talked a little! The big talkers were definitely kony and piko. They went back and forth a lot, it was really fun! Someone, I think Irie, popped open a can and put his pic right up to it, at it made such a satisfying crack and sizzle sound… everyone was like WHOAAA that could be used in a commercial!! They started sending out people to sing some more, and you could watched them dance along and do hand motions, it was really funny.
Nori did a ballad arrangement of shoujo rei which was super good, and clear and irie dueted SHAKE! Irie got us to stand again hahahaha. During his second solo, Irie told us he was pretty drunk, and yet still had a cup in his hands. Yuuto did mousou kanshou daishou renmei and got us to do the aiyaiya parts~ Nero and Piko walked onto the stage with his arm around piko’s hips telling him he’s so cute, so cute, and piko was like “I know :)” They go into this entire thing and both twirl around while talking….. piko asks nero if he remembers “That Night” and nero’s like “….no” and they go into a beauuuuutiful uchiage hanabi!! In the middle of the song, piko asks nero if he remembers NOW and nero’s still like “….no”, to piko’s dismay. At the end of the song, he still doesn’t remember, so piko stomps off like “ I don’t care about you anymore!!!!!!” and nero chases after him.
For the last song, they got everyone on stage, but half of them had to used wired mics and piko’s got caught on something and he almost tripped! Everything turnd out ok though, and then kony introduced the song by saying it was the group song for he very first Musicara, back in the day: Just Be Friends!! It was a lot of fun, and piko and nori danced together a lot~ nori also kept making heart and cheering motions to nero, which was very amusing.
They took some time to talk and take a picture with the audience! I saw them taking a bunch of selfies while sitting in the viewing area as well, which was cute. Kony talked about how he liked that it was a sit-down event because then there were no restrictions on hair/hats, and also that he could sit down as well hahaha. He said that if the audience was standing he’d feel like he had to stand as well. Then someone chimed in pointing at Irie saying that this guy made the audience stand up twice though. And he just laughed……
There was no encore for this event!! It ended cleanly and we left the venue to wait for the night performance.
For the night performance, we tried out sitting in the first row!! They started it out completely different this time, bringing everyone out onto the stage right off the bat. Irie had a drink in his hand, as usual. They also never removed the snackbar sign from the stage hahaha. Some of the setlist was the same this time around, but there were some changes as well!! Nori sang Second kiss, yuuto sand tobacco, and cleanero sang beauty and the beast!! Irie really had gotten pretty drunk looool he walked onto stage and told us he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to sing properly, and yet still took periodic sips from his cup. Apparently he cleared an entire bottle of whiskey. I guess he really loves the stuff. And, I thought he sang his solo just fine!!
There was much less narration for this part, and was mostly them swapping out from the viewing area where they’d drink and watch the other performances and chat a little. There was a break for talking as well, where they just chatted. Again, Kony and Piko talked a lot, but all of them were pretty involved!! There was a lot I couldn’t understand, but they discussed kony’s weight, musicara in general, and something about age. When nero sang, nori would do hand motions and hearts, and when piko sang, he blew a kiss to kony and kony blew one back? There was a lot of flailing around in general lol they’re so cute…….
For the finale, they all sang Just be Friends!! Irie started smiling and got us all to stand up. Again, Piko and Nori were dancing soooo much and generally looked like they were having the time of their lives. When it ended, they were the first to start egging kony and the audience on, getting us to cheer for another JBF?? They checked with he staff for time, and decided it should be alright, so they all started stripping off their jackets in preparation to sing again! They tried to get nero to take his off and he was resistant at first, saying if he didn’t have his jacket he’d just look like a grandpa, but he eventually did fling it off and nori fanboyed all over the place :’) meychan ripped his tie off and threw it to the ground to many screams. He also eventually took off his jacket but everyone laughed at him because hwas wearing all black underneath and suddenly looked so plain?? (his jacket was highly patterened) Everyone kept yelling at piko to take something off too but he told us there was nothing he could remove and that he only had a tanktop underneath!! He ended up taking off his shoes to show off his bright red socks, and then nori took off a shoe to reveal that he actually had matching socks! They also tried to get kony to remove something but he really didn’t have anything to take off…. He peeled the guest pass sticker which had migrated from his pants pocket to his shirt pocket and stuck it on someone’s shoulder (meychan??). They finally sang JBF one very last time and everyone on stage looked like they were having so much fun!! Nori and piko were doing the can-can at one point…. They pointed their mics to us and got us to sing the chorus! It was such a blast. For the jump, kony said he would do it, and I could see someone motioning to the others the delay their jump so it looked like they were being shaken by kony landing. There’s an amazing picture of kony mid-jump on twitter…….
It was a fun night of familiar songs arranged in a refreshing new way!! It was a very Kony event and I really liked all the cast members a lot!
Since it was a jazz-style event, they had two chorus members, a sax, a double base, and a variety of percussion in the band! The bassist was super cute……..
