tennokoeAfter the Rain's outdoor concert at Fuji-Q Highlands' Conifer Forest! This was such a cute venue!
Conifer Forest is actually quite a walk away from the actual theme park, but along the way was dotted with standees of their little cartoon mascots! Entrance into the park was free for concert attendees, but if you wanted to ride anything you'd have to pay extra~ I didn't end up riding anything. it was also a bit cloudy, so you couldn't really see Mt. Fuji that well, but it's supposed to be a great view.....
The venue itself was quite big! They had drones during the performance to show the crowd from above. The entire place was surrounded by, surprise, conifer trees. The set itself was very cartoony and ranbow and was suuuuper wide. There was a middle part of the stage that they sometimes made use of! Here's a little setup outside the venue
Merch was being sold quite far away, near the little themed village outside of the theme park
concert food was closer to the venue itself!

concert food was closer to the venue itself!
- At the start, it was still quite bright out, so lightsticks didn't show up much. They talked about how it was nice to be able to see our faces for once~
- There was a countdown, and a giant balloon started inflating at the stage in the middle of the audience! It ripped in half to reveal Soraru and Mafumafu!! Their outfits were super cute... Really neat uniforms matching their usual colours, and these cute clip-on hats
- There were fireworks right at the start!! The benefits of an outdoor venue~
- There were also fire effects!! Even I could feel the heat from all the way in the back. They were on for Kaidou funou and (day1) anticlockwise
- Mafu played the guitar for soraru's solo, Fake Me
- Both of them were on guitar for one song
- They seemed to do a lot more nostalgic songs!! They talked about how there were some songs on albums that they've never gotten to perform at their concerts
- For day1, they sang jigsaw puzzle, but in day2 they replaced it with hello dystopia! For both songs, mafu was singing at a notably higher octave than soraru LOL.... Mafu's vocaloid songs must be rough on him
- Their second outfits were much more casual outfits! normal pants and cardigans and stuff
- The cart this time was themed as a pink bus, with their cartoon selves showing from the windows. Soraru seemed quite comfortable on it this time? He didn't have to sit down or anything and didn't complain. they sprayed each other a lot LOL
- Giant balloons were brought out for the audience to play with during one song, and they had stepped back onto the middle platform, so everyone kept pushing the balloons towards them... soraru kept kicking them pretty hard, and mafu grabbed one and put it to his face, then spun it round and round... it looked like they were having lots of fun with it.
- The stage really is really wide, and they made sure to go to the ends a bunch of times!! sometimes they'd go individually and sometimes theyd be together. When they went together, mafu would be wayyy faster than soraru moving from one end tot he other, and soraru'd complain that mafu was too fast
- I really liked soraru's one line in Black Christmas.... it was Good
- Soraru told mafu that he was going to talk lots during MC this time, as mafu told us by imitating him as he usually does.
- soraru called everyone cute and then retracted the statement?
- Soraru got on the cart and put his arms on the edge and kind of leaned his head on it for a bit as they started moving, it was very cute
- Soraru asked mafu if he did anything summer-like this year, and he didn't really have much..... He then remembered he played DBD, which is scary so that's summer-like, right!! while soraru quietly went "that's more like winter...." "well what summer-like thing did YOU do, soraru-san?" [silence]
- Soraru asked us if we rode any of the rides at the theme park, and said something about... loving thrill rides...???? everyone was like "ehhhh.........???" and he turned to mafu and said they should ride some of the attractions later on [unsure]
- After the first song, soraru got his earring? hat? caught on his jacket shoulder, so he went over to mafu and asked him to help but mafu was kind of pnicked and kept going what what what???
- They finally got him free after a bit
- THey passed RIGHT by me on the carts this time, so i got to see them very clearly... I also got sprayed a lot tho
- Mafu was told to be quiet during mc, so he sat down seiza style and let soraru talk for the most part
- Soraru called everyone cute and handsome again and then turned to mafu, like, hey, could you please say something? i'm not cut out for saying things like this... and Mafu laughed and said he should stop trying to be urata
- During one MC after their outfit change mafu called soraru over and he was like what, what?
- He said something off mic, but soraru said very clearly into the mic, "what? my fly's open?"
- turns out it wasn't actually open, but looked open. He said that his fly is ALWAYS open, so he made sure to check this time
- Mafu's cardigan kind of fell off his shoulder as he was singing at one point, and everyone screamed a lot
- They asked if it was anyone's first time seeing them, and there wasn't as many as normal? They reasoned it was probably because it's so far out of the way LOL
- Soraru talked about the two performance days but said "yesterday, today, and tomorrow" and people started giggling so he stoped and was so confused... mafu didn't catch it either so they were just both confused until the drummer informed them what went wrong hahaha. Soraru kept going "is my fly open....?????"
- While mafu was talking, a dying cicada landed at his feet and he tried to shoo it away with his hand but it wasn't moving... He requested a tissue or something from staff but ended up just picking it up and moing it off stage (he didn't want to kill it) Soraru was very impressed and went "wow, amazing.... you're fine with handling cicadas?" "yeah totally" ".....This is the guy that called someone to his house to deal with a cockroach....." "cockroaches are different?!!?"
- They came out in the sailor suits~ On the first day they were in their respective colours, but on the second day, they were switched!! They talked about how embarrassing it looks, expecially when they turned their backs to the cameras to take the picture
- I could hear people laughing at soraru in pink saying it didn't suit him LOL
- Mafu said that he actually really likes blue, but as a unit with soraru he decided to give it up for him!! and soraru went "so you chose pink.........." "i'm white"
- The T-shirts still looked like a more normal cut than the ones they were selling.... I think if they wore the actual ones it'd look even stranger LOL
- Soraru said mafu had lost too much weight so he was super skinny, and he's so tall, and kind of sulked a little while mafu put his hands on his hips looking very proud of himself
- Soraru looked at the mascot standees and commented that they looked so cute in the outfits, but they just looked like strange guys..... mafu went and sat next tot he standees, throwing up a peace sign, and soraru was just like, "oi.... oi stop"
- During the picture for the second day, mafu made himself so small, but soraru commented on it so he said FINE 'll sit normally and instead soraru made himself small.... then he threw his arm around soraru, resulting in the picture they tweeted
- I think mafu hugged soraru at the end before they left the stage but I missed it... I heard lots of yelling from the audience suddenly though
