tennokoeAfter the Rain One-Man live 2018
I went to both days of AtR’s One-man live at Saitama Super Arena!!
On the first day I got there early to buy goods because I was worried about stock and ended up waiting three…… hours….. in line THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE OMFG…………… But it was worth it i got everything I wanted!!
My shirt and towel were in the wash so they’re not included~ I really like them though
After that, I passed on getting any collab food because I was tired of lines LMAO and I didn’t get any on the second day either…. the names mafu came up were super funny though so it was tempting.
Outside sign and flowers~
The venue was sooo big omfg but I guess that’s expected of a literal arena hahaha….. I got really good spots for both days!! In the stands far enough that I wasn’t at too much of an angle to the main stage but close enough that I could see them really clearly! The set was sooo lovely it was like Japanese shrine themed and there were lanterns strung around that would change colours with some of the songs! There were also lanterns along the stands, it was a really nice atmosphere!! On each seat was a wristlight that would flash in sync for certain songs! Everyone made whoaaa noises as they did the test right before start LMAO
mafuteru ready to party
They started with a cute beach-themed video with their chibi illustrations and people were screaming at each one lol….. And of course more screams when they actually appeared!! Mafu chose to wear a dark brown/black wig and on the first day Soraru was like…. this is so weird…. does that mean I should bleach my hair….. i think everyone was like EHHHH
I can’t go through the full setlist since I don’t know all the songs LMAO but for kaidoku funou they got us to completely turn off the penlights and let the wristlights do the work and it was super fun…… Soraru kept calling people out for not turning the lights off because they were very obvious when everyone else had theirs off lol. There was also fire on set for that song, very cool! On the second day, they also had us keep the lights off for the second song.
Soraru’s first solo was Merry Bad End AND HE WAS VERY COOL he got us to sing the gossping part, and Mafumafu’s was ECHO! his English pronounciation was super good and I think that song suits him a lot!
Their second set of outfits were those traditional clothes they wore for filming the PV for shiki oriori ni taiyutaite!! They were super pretty ahhhhhhh……… Moving platforms were brought out at once point and they got carted over to the other end of the arena, where there was a small stage waiting for them!! Soraru was SO CUTE he’s afraid of heights (?) so he kept breaking off singing to tell the people moving him not to let the platform wiggle too much fdsjgfjkjh
They sang a few songs on the platform, and it even raised super high in the middle of one song (natsumatsuri maybe?) Soraru couldn’t handle it he kept sitting down and even sang like that IT WAS REALLY CUTE…………
They had one more outfit change and sang some songs including Ouka ni Tsukiyo to Sode Shigure (everyone turned their lightsticks pink!) and Shiki Oriori Ni Tayutaite! On the first day, Soraru was the one to close before the last song and he was so emotional…. he was like struggling to get some of the words out?? I almost teared up myself omg but they safely went into the last song which started with just piano…. On the second day there was no piano and they just sang it acapella which I think they noted afterwards was a mistake?? lol but it sounded really good I didn’t even notice
For the encore they sang Dappou Rock and Roki and I screamed a lot…. They switched parts for Roki so I got to hear soraru scream, thanks….. Ah and mafu took off his wig and was properly white-haired; soraru said he feels more comfortable like this
They stopped to talk and take a picture of the audience! They talked about how the setlist would be slightly different on the second day, and that the entire setlist was so rough LMAO and it really was but they sang all the songs so with so much strength!! Soraru talked about how AtR’s songs tend to be rough on him in general with his voice range, and mafu said sometimes when making songs they’d record soraru’s harmony part FIRST and then do the melody to make things easier LOL
After talking, they put on the cat ears and did that cat song that I assume is a tradition for their lives? Soraru struggled lots with putting them on mafu and kept complaining loooool and it ended up falling off during the song…. On the first day, Soraru was slower than Mafu getting on the platforms this time so they sped his movement up and he ended up breaking off singing and yelling “IT’S TOO FAST” and straight up crouched down on the platform HAHAHA
On the second day, soraru just plopped down on the floor after the bows with the band members?? he must have been so tired LOL but it was cute… They ended by walking up the stairs hand in hand to the double doors and everyone screamed
THE END
Extra things I can’t place:

THE END
Extra things I can’t place:
- Mafu mentioned how Saitama Super Arena is like the goal of many utaite because they all sing there as a group, so he’s very happy to be able to perform there now!
- On the second day, mafu put the cat ears on soraru before the picture and pretended to run away as soraru grabbed his lol
- there were fireworks for anticlockwise that really surprised me with the noise
- The set stretched out really close to the audience with these like bridge things, and they would walk over to them while singing and wave to the audience! It’s also where they got on the moving platforms
- Soraru is really afraid of those things omfg poor guy
- On the first day there were screams as people were leaving cuz i assume they saw someone in the special stands but I have no idea who it was
- On the second day during one talk portion they got the girls and guys to yell separately and soraru turned to mafu like, “they’re about the same (volume) right?” (it was very not the same volume)
- after one song during mc soraru said he heard someone clearly screaming mafumafu!!! so a male in the audience yelled, very loudly in a low voice, SORARU
