Tomohisa Sako’s one-man live, at Tsutaya O-East!

He had three different outfit changes! I don’t know if they were from any of his music videos or anything, but they matched the promo art for the concert~ One was all white, and one was all black
The audience’s reaction to him stepping out in the first outfit was great LMAO
He told us there’d be bitter and sweet songs just like the title of the concert!!
There were some rock songs, like his recent single, but mostly they were sugar sweet songs that really suited him~
He talked SO MUCH he said he had lots to tellus and not enough time for it all, but he still really did tell us a lot
He said he didn’t get any chocolate yesterday (valentines day) because he stayed at home all day
He talked about how he had problems with his voice last year? And had to stop singing for a while, and it was really hard on him. He did some consulting and changed the way he sings now, to be easier on his voice
He thanked us like 6 times in a row for making the time to go see him ;0;
“You guys really wanna go home and game, right!!!”
He yelled about wanting to get married
He told us he wrote a new song recently, then sang it for us!!
The last song was ai kotoba ;v;
He spent the song trying to make eye contact with as many people as possible!! It was so sweet ahhhhh

This was NORISTRY’s mini one-man, with guest Nayugorou! This was an acoustic performance, with wing playing the piano. I went to both performances.

It was at a very small venue, with about 30 people? They would walk past us to get to the stage and nayugorou said it was awkward LOL
They swapped in and out quite a few times!! They both did some solos and duets
Songs i remember: shoujo rei, mata ne ga areba, aiko’s kirakira, uchiage hanabi
I think betsu no hito no kanojo ni natta yo was also sung
The setlists were slightly different between the afternoon and night performances
Nori came down for the second performance covering his mouth because he was chewing something, and later revealed that it was tapioca pearls hahahaha
He said he always gets his guests to sing one CHEMISTRY song, and he tries to match each guest to a song that suits them most
Despite having such a gentle voice, nayugorou’s live singing is really steady and powerful! She’s really good
She tends to look up while singing, whereas nori looks down
She said she tends to like more straightforward songs about feelings, rather than complicated ones with hidden meaning
Nori told us about the CHEMISTRY secret fanclub meeting that he applied for, and that the results were out today but he was too scared to check
We told him to check, so he did, but he didn’t win the tickets ;-;
Hilariously enough though the next song was mata ne ga areba
He also showed us the Sing MV!! on the screen behind him. We kept making sounds when he was being cute in the video, which was often

After the performance was time for merch sales and polaroids!
I went to nayugorou first, and ended up getting a polaroid with her~She looked at me and was like, “This is our first time meeting, isn’t it?” I guess he recognises most of her regular listeners……. I ended up explaining that I’m not from Japan, so my language skills weren’t the best LOL
She asked me what pose we should make for the picture, and told me that she usually does the bear pose! So I went with that. She asked for my name and signed it~ She was so cute
I got a picture with nori as well! We did a peace sign
The polaroids always fascinate me because some people come up with the wildest poses….. One girl had nori step on her it was great

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!

NORISTRY’s one-man live!! He had a ska band supporting him, which I thought was really cool. Guests were ayaponzu and ichouyaku! I went only to the nighttime performance.

The performance opened a bit later than scheduled because he had gone over time in the earlier performance
He seemed so hyper!! He fumbled over his words a lot at the start
The audience was more mixed than I was expecting!? There were quite a few tall guys, which I’m not used to seeing LMAO
The gift box was overflowing it was amazing
There was also a LOT of the super-bright orange glowsticks for wotagei! People would break them out and swing them about for the more pump-up songs and it was super fun to see
He sang shoujo rei!!!! I love that song so much and he totally does it justice…. The break in the music was super dramatic and the entire thing was breathtaking
Other songs: hitorinbo envy, from y to y, an eve medley which was super lit, roki, inochi bakkari
I liked one of the originals he sang so much (みゅーじっく♪) that I went to buy his CD immediately after the performance ended
I was pretty far in the back, so when he’d double over while singing sometimes he’d completely disappear
During one of his MCs, he talked about how there was a time in the past where he came to hate singing, and kept refusing all invitations to events…… one of his friends said it really would be a waste if he stopped, and persistently asked him to go perform. This got him to sing again, and he’s really grateful to him for it. He kept looking towards the top of the venue, where staff and special guests watched
Ichouyaku came out trying not to cry, but cried so much that his contacts fell out (he was the friend)
After ichouyaku’s performance, ayaponzu popped out with insane energy LOL she was so cute!!
Just as we were going to take a picture, they brought out two cakes! one was from his fans, and another was from [???? i didn’t catch it]
They got nori to eat the chocolate heart (nameplate?) first and he was so cute that they started yelling for someone to quickly take a picture
They sang a group kami ni manimani at the end!! Ichouyaku wore glasses for it LOL and ayaponzu was so bouncy!!
At the very last second, he looked like he fucked something up?! Apparently he forgot to announce something but it was just a normal announcement LOL (i no longer remember what it was, maybe the tour?)

He was so cute and energetic..... His singing really is so powerful!! He's definitely worth seeing live, and I'm really glad i went.

I went to Jukevox:08’s night performance! The singers were Kanon69, utau oniisan, iincho, kagenui hana, nero, dazbee, yukimi, alfakyun, shoose, and piko

Some of the setlist I really liked: nero’s just a game & fixer, dazbee’s tobacco and fly me to the moon, dazbee and kanon’s a whole new world, piko’s doppleganger?, shoose’s S.K.Y., and someone also sang proto disco~
They sang a group queen of hearts at the end!!
Yukimi sang marionette lovers and during the whisper part these girls nearby me screamed so abruptly that i laughed…. i’m glad for them
Shoose’s second kiss was so good…… the way he moved during the 涙が出るほど part was too much
Kagenui hana is so tall! And seemed a bit shy, she was cute.
Alfakyun had an amazing outfit and hairstyle, A+
Dazbee’s english was AMAZING i was so surprised
Kanon said she flew in from Korea just for jukevox!!
They had an MC part together! Kanon said it was ok if we looked at dazbee instead even though he was the one talking, so half of us actually turned over to her and he was like, “YOU GUYS”
They both had kuji badges, which they threw into the audience! Dazbees throw landed the badge in the space between the audience and the stage, so a cameraman had to go retrieve it so she could try again LOL
I feel like someone else threw badges into the audience as well, at a different time?
At the end, kanon looked down the line to decide where to start everyone’s last comments, made eye contact with piko at one end, and said “ that side looks like they’ll have something amusing so let’s start with the other end” and turned around
Piko had the guys in the audience raise their hands and there were so few LOL but most of them were clustered around the entrance for some reason. There were like two at the far opposite end
The curtains closed from encore and people started to leave but then the curtains drew again and utaut niisan and kanon were there!
Kanon messed around on the piano, playing some bgm, while utaut niisan talked to us about the next venue for jukevox!
At the end, there was an announcement about hi-touch, and I was so confused?! I thought it would be for special ticket holders or winners or something but I decided to wait and see anyways….. After a few minutes, the performers all filed out in front of us, walking towards the exit!
As you left, you went down the line to high five everyone! I think I remember nero being the first down the line….. He and some others like yukimi gave such gentle high fives omg ;v;
Shoose was so cute…! There were some really energetic girls in front of me who freaked out slightly when they got to him and he just nodded and giggled along with them
He also felt so tall….. I knew he was tall but it’s another thing with him being right in front of you
Piko kept calling everyone uglies and fakkyun followed suit LOL she said a normal otsukaresama deshita to me though

I went to see HanaPoko at Yokohama! The guest was ASK. It was a sit-down event, which kind of surprised me! Hanatan was the one that arranged the setlist this time around. They talked a looooot and it was so hilarious i nearly cried from laughing so hard...... It was a wild time.

Hanatan came out singing tengaku! Then halfway through the song, the instrumental restarted from the beginning and….. Pokota came out and started singing?! Hanatan made an X sign with her arms and he stopped, then the instrumental restarted AGAIN and this time ASK finally came out!! They left the stage as everyone screamed and he finished the rest of the song
They all returned to the stage and talked about last year’s Nagoya performance which ASK guested on, and how even though he was a surprise guest he was the opening act?! He asked if that would really be okay and said their fans were going to be like “who is this?!” but pokota assured him they’d be happy LOL
They re-enacted hanatan breaking her shoe right before the performance and the chaos that ensued, and how ASK came out of it completely composed and sparkly to sing tengaku
Hanatan guested for the rootfive performance the day before, so they talked a little about that!
She said she was also nervous, being a secret guest :’)
They discussed whose performance it’d be the scariest to guest at and pokota said valshe LOL
Pokota said he’s normally a tsukkomi, but since rootfive has too many tsukkomis, he has to play boke to balance it out
Koma’n is the sole boke
Hanatan brought up gero and yugepo and their kansai comedy style but pokota was like “they’re both bokes, you know?! I don’t know how ask handles them”
ask was like “I don’t”
Yesterday, hanatan was practising a difficult song backstage and mi-chan started singing along, then pokota yelled at him saying she wouldn’t be able to practise properly like that
Hanatan wanted him to show ASK how he came out for Charles yesterday, so he showed us…. . he had a towel between his legs and jumped forward bit by bit while pulling the towel back and forth and it was super innappropriate…. lord
Hanatan was in the cutest fluffiest dress and her hair was half up in curled pigtails!! She and Pokota had matching patterns on their clothes
At one point hanatan lifted up pokota’s bangs (I think they were discussing him balding again) and the second time she did it someone Kya’d??? and pokota was like WHAT’S WITH THAT KYA, I DON’T WANT THAT
ASK and hanatan sang suki kirai, but during the “baldy” part they turned around to look backstage with emphasis (at pokota
they changed some of the lyrics but the only part I caught was hanatan saying she’s in her 30s (instead of 14)
They kept insisting ask wasn’t a guest, but instead this is actually a two-man!!
Hanatan disappeared for a while and returned with Halloween things to wear! There were pumpkin wands, a pumpkin headband, and a witch hat headband. She held the headbands up to ASK and asked him which one looked stupider (pumpkin) and then handed it to Pokota, who was like “I knew this was coming”
She laughed when he put it on and said an idiot’s wearing an idiot
Somehow this turned into “a baldy’s wearing an idiot”
She then put on the witch hat (SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!!!!) and ASK was like “?!?! wh-wheres mine?!?!?”
She told him that since this was a two-man, he should have brought his own costume
They got him to leave the stage, and started singing some Halloween songs!!
During trick or treat, ASK came back out to join them, wearing a big vampire cape and a gigantic plush cat pumpkin hat???? He posed in the middle like the birth of venus and hanatan and pokota poked him with their wands. Pokota kept going for his crotch
Hanatan talked like right in the middle of so many songs and it’d confuse the fuck out of the other two but she’d just slip right back into singing with no problem while the two of them were left going ???? ??? ?!?!? ?!?!?
There was also an acoustic part where Pokota sang one of Hanatan’s ballads~ it was really nice
When the keyboardist came out to join hanapoko, even he was joining in on the craziness so pokota had to tsukkomi him as well
Hanatan talked into the intro for one of their ballads and the keyboardist stopped playing, but pokota told him to go again and this time as she kept talking over the piano he started playing with EMPHASIS
Hanatan also tilted the lyrics stand so Pokota couldn’t see it, then asked him if he would be okay to sing, to which he insisted he would be fine. Then during the song he kept pointedly looking over at the stand until she lifted it up and walked away to one corner of the stage
Pokot also sang some of Gackt’s songs! Hanatan said that there was a karaoke session they streamed a long time ago where she thought he sounded really good singing a specific Gackt song, so she put it in the setlist. He changed into the traditional looking outfit he’s been wearing for his tour’s promo
He was so energetic and good…. He’s really got that rocker vibe
Pokota said one of Gackt’s stylists was actually here today as their stylist!! Everyone was so surprised, and Hanatan and ASK were like wow…. Such an amazing person helped style us today…
Pokota’s hair extension was put in by them, so hanatan went to touch it and was like wow…… it feels like the real gackt………. (??????!!!)
She also started looking into the sky and said “thank you stylist………..” and ASK was like “instead of doing that you can tell them directly, after the show??? Please????”
After pokota’s solos was Cantarella!! He was singing alone on stage at first so I thought Hanatan would join him, but to my surprise, ASK did instead!!
Pokota had kind of been looking towards backstage as he was singing, and ASK joined justin time for his part
It turns out ask and hanatan were casually sitting backstage discussing ff7 when he suddenly heard the instrumental for cantarella play and he got up and rushed onto the stage, bursting out looking totally confident LOL
At the very end, ASK went behind pokota and put his arm around him, but pokota totally did not take it seriously and just looked back and forth between us and ASK, wide-eyed,while their faces were extremely close together
Pokota asked how hanatan and ask’s conversations usually go when they’re alone and ask was like “we’ve known each other for 10 years but when i used to pick her up she would get into the seat directly behind me so i can’t see her and stay silent the entire time
Sometimes she’d make a small comment on the weather
Multiple times, hanatan would go get a drink in the back of the stage and leave pokota to talk, and he stalls for quite a while but then suddenly turns back at her like, “HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA DRINK FOR?!”
She’d just blink at him, unmoving, with the straw still in her mouth
During one of the group songs, pokota stopped and just looked at ASK, then said “this guy is probably twice koman’s height”
“Those legs are probably 2 metres long”
Hanapoko sang ah, subarashiki nyansei and hanatan was ADORABLE OMFG during the chorus she’d dance along with nya poses and it was like she was an idol i loved it so much
They sang a group Madness of Duke Venomania aaaahhhhhh I love how well pokota fits it!!
Pokota complained that it was such a hard song and hanatan was like, yeah, I agree (She sang every girl part, so)
Hanatan was seriously so good in every single song OMFG the pure power in her VOICE I LOVE HER
hanatan tried to imitate something cool kettan said the day before but it just ended up sounding like she was making fun of him
During a lot of the MC, hanatan would inch closer and closer to the others until ask shouted "you're too close!!!"
pokota pointed out that as she got closer ask would inch further away from her towards him
at the end they were all clustered at pokotas side of the stage, still talking
pokota: im 36
ask&hanatan: mm at that age the balding makes sense
There was an ask fan near the very front and they were carrying one of those idol fans…… they asked if they could take a look at it and one side said to do finger guns so ASK did it at a bunch of people and hanatan was like “ah all those people died”
Pokota told him he didn’t even direct it at the fan owner LOL
pokota was trying to promote asks's CDs and said that even the people that "don't like ask" should check them out and hanatan was like THATS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD SAY IT???
ASK was like “thats okay, [ikemen voice] ✨you can come to like me✨”
They announced that Hanapoko finale would have ASK and kakichoco as guests!!! And pokota suggested hanatan make the setlist again!!
They really talked SO MUCH pokota told hanatan that at the next one with ASK and kakichoco there’d be four of them so there’d be much less time to talk and hanatan was like :c
They praised hanatan’s song choices a lot~ the entire setlist really was good…. There were a lot of satisfying choices
"maybe hanatan could sing some of ask's originals next time"
"like tengaku"
"tengaku is NOT MY SONG you're going to get me into trouble???"
At the end when they were saying their last words, it was hanatan’s turn and she said she wasn’t good at talking
The other two were like HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!
When they took pictures, pokota yelled that he’s the only one that shows his face!!!!!
Aomofu was watching, standing in the back! People talked to her a little before and after the show, and during the commemorative photo she crouched down and threw up a peace sign, and some people in the back laughed like “i thought you’d do that lol”

At the very end, they had a hi-touch session with the audience!! They said they wanted ASK to go into the audience from the stage and hand out candy to everyone, but the seats were very close together so that would have been impossible LOL. Instead, they gave out candy as we left
I was pretty far in the back, so I was one of the first to do hi-touch! Hanatan was first down the line, and it kept slowing down because of her LOL she kept talking and was soo cute…..
ASK was next! I wore his earcuff and I think he was looking for people wearing his stuff and noticed me while I was in the line but I looked away immediately because I cant… handle that…….. When I got to him I remembered just how TALL he is WOW I was like craning my neck up LOL and he was so pretty……………………………. My brain stopped working
Pokota was handing out candy at the end of the lineup!! He was holding SO MUCH candy at a time and gave everyone a bunch! He was so cheerful and cute hahaha it was a really nice way to leave the venue

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~

Gero's Nagoya performance, utattemita day!! The guest was ASK!

I got there very late because I had to shinkansen there right after…… work…… But i made it just in time!! It was a very crowded livehouse and I couldn't see all that well, but there was a small TV near the entrance where I was and the quality wasn't the best but it did help a bit
ASK did the pre-concert announcements!!
Right at the start, gero kept calling it originals day (it was utattemita day) and then was like, i've sang these songs so many times they feel like theyre mine!!!!!
Gero talked a little about next year's chang gero sonic plans and said he might be doing fuyucomi if he's got the time, but he's really busy!
he asked us if we had any requests for guests for cgs, and someone loudly shouted kouhey and gero wouldn't let it go at all….. he kept going "KOUHEY?? KOUHEY??????" for the rest of the show
later on, someone asked for glutamine, but before they could even finish saying his name gero cut them off with another "Kouhey???"
one girl said she was here for ASK and gero made a Face
somehow he ended up targeting a guy in the audience who apparently just turned 20? he asked if he had a lover and the guy was like "concerts are my lover!!!!
gero talked about how he's 32 but not married, then told us he wouldn't tell us if he got married anyways lol
his Rinne was sssoooo good there was a lot of headbanging and he looked appropriately crazy at the right moments IT WAS SO FUN!! apparently we made the building shake
to introduce ask, gero said "I keep telling this guy to upload but he doesn't"
ASK said he might upload at some point?
his solo was tengaku!! He threw his hat off his head to the side of the stage and made everyone scream
They sang two songs together! marionette lovers, and alien alien
for marionette lovers, ASK did the breathing noises at the start, and also the whispered "sayonara" so we all yelled over that
during alien alien, gero messed around during the rap just like in their recording, and ASK laughed so much he couldn't sing his own part properly
during MC, gero talked about how he and made a circle with koge, and while laughing the entire time, mentioned that there was also some new guy from kumamoto with them
ASK wore some nicorai merch? a wristband or something I think? So they talked about the nicorai tour and how it was nonstop concerts and handshake events, so as a result they totally lost their voices and were super raspy at the handshake events
they also retold the legend of ASK breaking his leg at [Shinjuk*******]
ASK mentioned that he'll be at fuyucomi with yumamiya and gero turned to us and said, "imagine my reaction when i found out from twitter :///"
from alien alien where they messed around so much, gero went into a solo Just Be Friends and made everyone cry…. Of course it was the piano version, and he always puts so much emotion into it…..
Then suddenly right after that was Unknown Mother Good which was also SUPER GOOD but some huge mood whiplash…. he was so cool though
I knew so much of the setlist!! He did a lot of my favourite songs and was so energetic and has such amazing staging….. Everyone was super pumped!! I love him

Encore

ASK came out in the tour's big tee and parka and the parka was even big on him?! He had moe sleeves……. He made a sort of nyan pose with his hands in front of him and everyone squealed that he was cute….
He stood up on the platform thing and then was like, "...... i don't really need this, do i….."
He did end up getting on it when they all did the last bow!! and gero put his head on his shoulder LOL

I went to XYZ's Yokohama Arena performance!! It was the finale to this year's summer tour. The performers for this night were luz, araki, kradness, mafumafu, meychan, nqrse, senra, shoose, soraru, and un:c. There were two new muffler towels specific to this performance being sold!

✦ The entire performance was non-stop, with no time for any MCing!! It really impressed me how easily one song flowed into the other, and how smoothly everyone rotated through the stage. sasuga organiser luz
✦ They started with the usual crew for Alice in NY!!
✦ meychan and senra sang Recollection Endroll, and suddenly araki and nqrse joined them?! They all did the dance part and we all screamed
✦ for soraru's I Fake Me, mafu was present to play the guitar!
✦ They then went into their duet, Black Christmas! the serifu lines were excellent as usual, thanks
✦ the lighting effects for ghost were so, so cool!! it looked kind of like spiderwebs covered the entire stage.
✦ nqrse and mafu's lung power during that song were amazing
✦ luz lifted shoose's shirt in Mixed Juice AGAIN, killing me instantly
✦ FIXER WAS GOOD (soraru and nqrse)
✦ nqrse called soraru out as either "oji" (uncle) or "ouji" (prince) and I couldn't tell which it was…. it sounded like prince to me…… later on he mentioned in his MC which one it was but i still couldn't tell LMAO
✦ There was a short DJ part, then they went into a nonstop medley of previous XYZ songs!! It was so much fun…..
✦ The first song in the set was USA!! kradness, meychan, araki, and shoose. I'm so glad they brought it back LOL i love seeing them dance to it
✦ shoose and senra did cat eye make, and shoose did pink cat and danced to it like usual and gave me a heart attack
✦ LUZ AND UN:C DID QUEEN OF HEARTS AAAHHHHHH luz knelt down to un:c and took his hand…. I'm pretty sure he also kissed it
✦ I also really loved gokuraku jodo to much!!! It was un:c, shoose, and senra!! There was one part where the camera was on un:c and it looked like he was singing directly at the camera…. he was motioning with his hands and looked SOO GOOD…..
✦ Araki's ECHO was awesome
✦ meychan and kradness' otome kaibou was in this medley so it wasn't the full song 0:
✦ Gigantic O.T.N. was shoose, meychan, senra, un:c, kradness, luz! senra was dancing wildly and shoose joined him??? I have no idea what the hell they were doing but they looked like crazy people
✦ I think this is where Shoose fell very impressively as they all headed back from the middle stage to the main stage…. right in front of the platform that everyone was standing on
✦ They helped him get up, and then while they all sang luz kept bending over to check his legs worriedly, it was cute
✦ WORLD'S END DANCEHALL!!! un:c came out without his jacket and was so energetic AHHHH he and araki really suited this song a lot!! At one point, unc sat down on the platform with one leg up on it and was like poiting at the audience…. he looked so cool…
✦ un:c's fansa was a blast as usual!!! He went to the middle stage to sing and i almost cried LNFKDJHD it's just such a perfect setting for that song... the middle of an arena surrounded by lightsticks
✦ kradness sparkled so much during his solo Inocho no Justitia….. he was especially good today, imo!!!
✦ Roki was araki, nqrse, mafu, and soraru!! Soraru sang the first part with a rather high voice and sounded so cute…….
✦ FANATIC was great, I was at the front of my row so I could headbang as hard as i wanted
✦ Mrs. Pumpkin's Comical Dream was the upload crew: nqrse, luz, mafu, soraru! So was Panda Hero. There were four narrow screens lined up at the back of the stage, so each performer was zoomed in on and featured on one screen. the effect was really really nice!
✦ Soraru sounded sooooo good in Mrs. Pumpkin…… That lovely low voice
✦ Every time they were on the middle stage together, luz would go drape himself over soraru
✦ un:c really waved so much at the audience…. He especially went to the sides a lot
✦ during one of the group songs where they were all lined up, un:c and shoose sang directly at each other even though they were on opposite sides of the stage??
✦ some songs had fire jets on stage, and one time there were even fireworks! Those surprised the hell out of me
✦ Last song was Finale!! It was the actual upload crew, which was pretty neat

Encore

✦ The encore started with secret answer! Everyone was on stage for it. Mafu was actually playing the guitar for it, which I thought was a neat touch. un:c did the death metal scream B^)
✦ During deriheru, as they were walking back to the main stage, luz kept clinging to soraru's back and holding on the back of his jacket then soraru pulled away from him and said something like "yada kono hito…." he said it twice LOL
✦ during the band introductions (deriheru) they all sat down, but the notable ones were senra and mafu, sitting next to each other very properly seiza with their backs ramrod straight and hands on their laps….. then right next to them was soraru, crosslegged and casually hunched over HAHAHA i thought it was such a funny contrast
✦ there was a different bassist today!! nqrse said he and this guy looked alike
✦ when they resumed singing deriheru, they brought the dj in to sing as well!! During un:c and luz's usual part, he was sitting with luz, then un:c ran in and took him, sitting next to him on the platform that everyone else had jumped onto and sharing a mic until the end!!
✦ balloons in everyone's colours were released onto the audience in the middle of one of the group songs!! I was in the stands very far up, so no balloons came my way, but I got to see the amazing view of thousands of colourful ballons floating down…… It looked like a fantasy festival!!! I really liked it….
✦ luz told us to sit down for the MC portion~ mafu sat down and then they yelled at him so he got up, but then when our attention was off him we noticed soraru had also decided to sit down LOL they yelled at him too
✦ people wanted to stand for the picture and he was like WOW you guys sure have energy!!
✦ shoose MC: He said he's not good at talking, and that this is the first time he's talked in front of this many people. Again, he acted like most of the audience wouldn't know who he was and introduced himself very politely…. He said he had an announcement: He fell
✦ Apparently there's something wrong with his knee…? I hope he's okay but he seemed to be alright.
✦ I don't remember a lot of the MCs…….. most of them were pretty short and general about XYZ's history and how far it's come from then. A lot of them said they thought really hard about what to say today. They also made sure to mention that XYZ is more than just the people present on stage today!!
✦ araki MC: When he stepped up to talk, he made a sort of yelp that wasn't into the mic at all but we all could still hear him loud and clear? incredible.
✦ a few of them (mostly nqrse) told him not to use the mic but luckily he kept it this time LOL
✦ ever the mature one, he talked pretty seriously about XYZ and how far it's come, and that it's thanks to all of us. As he walked back, nqrse jumped in suddenly and said that araki was way more like a rapper than he was?! and started rapping the last few words he said LOL
✦ soraru MC: He said he was honoured? to be standing on stage with these 10 people, then corrected it to 9 (minus himself) and people giggled at that... Someone in the audienfe shouted something at him and he went his usual "eh…?" and lost his thread a little, it was cute
✦ He said that people told him he wasn't allowed to have a 10 minute mc, so he thought long and hard about what to do and came up with sonething. He told all of us to stand up and held a rock paper scissors championship! If you lost or tied with him you must sit down (i lost immediately….) He kept going for a while, until there were about 5 left? one girl in the middle kept winning and they even spotlighted her LOL she got so many cheers every time she won…… Eventually she lost and everyone was sitting down? then soraru asked, how many rounds was that…? And there was silence because he didn't even count himself…… then he was like yeah okay thanks everyone and everyone was like WHAT, THAT'S IT??? so he went, "fine, the last few winners get a present from luz after this" and someone else yelled "THATS DEFINITELY A LIE OKAY GUYS"
✦ meychan MC: he went to the middle and greeted us, then soraru interrupted him and said that he's? new? so he'd tell him what to do. He motioned for meychan to go to him and then whispered something. meychan returned to the front of the stage and looked like he really didn't want to do whatever it was….. I didn't understand what he said at all but some people started making hissing sounds IT WAS SUPER WEIRD and meychan was like I DONT LIKE THIS
✦ un:c MC: He said that he couldn't think of what to say today and ended up not sleeping much last night. He talked seriously a bit about how XYZ started and everything, and how it's amazing that they're at an arena now. There was one part where he suddenly stopped talking and waved the mic away from his face? i wasn't sure if he messed up or if he was close to crying or something but the audience all cheered him on and he laughed. He then said he had something he wanted to do and everyone was like OHHH?? mafu interrupted and yelled something at him but i don't remember what it was exactly…… They all went to the back to sit down and watch, and un:c took to the middle stage!! He said asked if we were all feeling good, then said he felt good to and that live was SEX!!!! (the audience joined in as well) He then stood there looking very pleased with himself, and ran back to join the others
✦ luz MC: He was talking very softly and seemed to have trouble getting some of the words out…... I couldn't tell if he was crying, but he was at the very least very close to it….. he kept fiddling with his earpiece/face with his left hand as he talked….. He said he's not that good with words and thought a lot about what to say last night
✦ He talked about how XYZ started, and that as the organiser he was supported a lot by nqrse in particular. He mentioned that XYZ is not just the performers that were on stage today, but many many more as well. It's thanks to them and the people that go watch them that they were here today! He said that he'd never forget the view today, and we all quietly waved our white penlights for him
✦ last song was cocktail, luz announced it very softly
✦ i could hear people were wailing softly at his solo….
✦ He went to put his arm around nqrse as they sang and in a rare turn of events nqrse missed his line? it seemed like he was a little choked up too…….
✦ shoose's voice and style really is suited to this song
✦ I ttthink this is where they lit up the stage with disco balls…. it looked super impressive
✦ They waved goodbye with rhe band members, and i saw about half of them greet the band members and give them hugs before they left… cute
✦ when waving goodbye, they started at the front, then went to greet the people to the sides. they all lined up and then the bgm was lowered as if they were gonna say something, but I guess they weren't because mafu was like "ummm it's ok to turn on the music…..! [slightly panicked and in English] SOUND UP"
✦ as they walked from the left side of the stage to the middle, meychan and unc brought up the rear. meychan was so clearly crying the entire time lol………. he kept looking up and laughing (at himself?) and unc patted him on the back as they walked, then ruffled his hair
✦ when they walked to the middle stage, they couldn't figure out how to line up and ended up in a circle, but soraru got left out somehow and wandered the middle looking for a spot…. then luz grabbed him and dragged him next to mafu and they all rearranged themselves into a kind of line
✦ when they returned to the main stage they all bowed at the front again, but they put their hands together and said sayonara to us LMAO luz said something about it being the XYZ way
✦ while some people were milling about waving just a little bit more before leaving, luz bowed at us alone one last time, for a very long time

I had such a blast!! It was such an emotional end. I'm very proud of them.

Gero's tour day in Kumamoto! Since it's only a one day thing (yesterday was Fukuoka) It's a special setlist with a mix of both originals and utattemita songs! There was a very special guest (A Kumamoto local!!) that was hanging around downtown all day, talking to anyone who could find him~ I myself passed by him at Starbucks and near the venue as opening crept closer but I was too shy to say anything...... He was always surrounded by fans and laughed a lot though!! So sweet~

I loved shayou and baby music rider Most
he was seriously so cool during baby music rider lmaoooo ikemen
during udon he started singing the donki jingle and had us sing too
for kimi jyanakya dame mitai, he said it's a difficult song while walking over to puyo, tuen when he started he did the asian man squat and just stared at him so he messed up and they had to restart…. except it took them forever cuz they kept laughing and talking
Then when they finally got to start, whoever was working lighting spotlighted only puyo and gero started laughing saying that was unfair LOL but they safely continued the song
for beloved survival, he said he'd sing it as a Native and then just spoke all the english words…….… it was hilarious tho, especially mixed in with the japanese parts that he sang normally
he talked about how he's still here because of all of us, and that there's many people before him who have left and moved on (except for dasoku
he said "faneru-sensei" came to watch and that he was free to come out at any time but he never did……..
there was a festival going on downtown today and people tried to tell him the name hut he purposefully kept pronouncing it wrongly loool
apparently because of the festival they couldn't find accommodation for the night so they needed to head back to fukuoka to stay
apparently the drums started super early in the morning and woke them up… gero showed us his face as he opened the window to check what the Hell was going on
he sweated so much he said it looked like someone peed……. staff went in to wipe it up
he asked if there were people from? saga? and there were about 10 so he said he'd try to find a venue that fit 10 people
Some people even came from hokkaido!! He was like, "Hey, can I ask you something? …..Why??" and someone replied that it's because he wouldn't go to hokkaido LOL
He said he'd find a hokkaido venue for 6 people

Encore

he told us to take care of ourselves if we don't feel good and mentioned piko;;
pasta had bandages on his elbow cuz he fell off his bike recently…. he said he thought he was gonna die
he said he became a youtuber recently and asked the band what they watched on youtube….. the drummer said he's an otaku sk he watches vtubers
gero told us he actually got approached to become a youtuber and he had 0.000001% interest but he still wanted to know what they wanted him to do (i didn't catch the answer)
pasta said he watches quite a bit of nikuchomo and everyone cheered
he said he got recognised at the local convenience store as gero from nikuchomo
he also mentioned that kony gets recognised a lot
He talked about how meychan went to buy CDs from him at comiket when he was in middle school, and how they got closer and ended up wanted to do something together, which is how nikuchomo came about! but they didn't want to just be "two nii-sans" so kony was brought in too
during fire flower he got us to sing weird things as usual
He also tried to do the Native Pronunciation here and it took forever for them to start the song LOL we all laughed so much and he was in tears
he singled out one guy and told him he must harmonise with everyone else and asked him to sing a super high note and the guy actually had such a good voice LOL he surprised everyone
he talked about how all the xyz members do such cool MCs and how he wants to do it too, but since his name's gero everyone would just look at him weird
gero said he gave the okay to go out and so he brought faneru out and everyone cheered SO LOUDLY many people cried
he took one look at him and laughed and said he tanned too much and then faneru covered his face and slowly knelt to the ground, embarrassed
gero mostly talked for faneru (he had no mic) but at one point he said something that made faneru take the mic from him cuz he Needed to dryly reply to whatever he just said
apparently when faneru saw the setlist he talked about how nostalgic it was
everyone wanted him to sing fire flower but gero told us "this guy doesn't remember the words at all"
then, he looked thoughtful and said, "maybe you still know scissorhands….?" and the look of panic on faneru's face was incredible LMAO when gero turned to him and saw how he was reacting he said "okay let's stop i feel bad for him"
they talked about how he appeared in nicorai (Kagoshima?) and sang spice, but since no one knew what he looked like the audience was super confused at first, but then they announced it was faneru and the surprised cheer slowly built up into a wild roar as it began registering in everyone's heads
There were a handful of people who were present at that nicorai event!! gero laughed and called them old
he kept calling him "fakkun"
They mentioned how he's using a new name and laughed about it.... :') he said that for social media he's using that name (because SNS is scary?)
He said they wanted to drink all night but since he has to head back to fukuoka he can't :(
when he let him go to talk to us again, faneru shuffled slowly off to the side but never really left, so when gero noticed he was still there he called him to take a bow with them….. they both stepped onto the platform and the sound from the audience was incredible
before he left the stage he reached down and high-fived as many people as he could!!

It was so worth flying all the way there and I'm sure everyone felt the same....! People either left the venue completely energized and amazed at gero's power, or... bawling... LOL but they were happy tears~ It was a really good time, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to visit Kumamoto again!!

The first day of XYZ Tour in at Zepp Tokyo!! Performers were luz, Araki, un:c, Shoose, nqrse, Meychan, KOOL, and Gero. The setlist is the same as Nagoya's first day.

- During Mixed Juice, luz and shoose did their usual flirting, but this time luz FULLY pulled shooses' shirt up and like exposed his entire tummy and i died
- During shoose and nqrse's duet, nqrse kept screaming about shooses' thin legs
- I think nqrse also mentions during a group song that he's lost weight recently and he says this like 3 times
- He's always interjecting funny shit regardless of the atmosphere of the song
- During Team Paripi, Meychan asked everyone what they did this summer: un:c moved, meychan streamed A Lot, and araki stayed at home..... To this, meychan was like "SEE WE'RE NOT PARTY PEOPLE AT ALL?!" and araki was like "we'll start from now!!"
- un:c took off his jacket halfway through Cycle~
- Again, lightsticks were turned off for un:c/KOOL's Cycle, but this time they stayed off through KOOL's solo and araki's solo, then were brought back on for meychan and luz's duet, only to be turned off again for luz's FANATIC, which was super fun as always
- During Million Dollar Baby, shoose and un:c sat down on the platform and sang at each other really cutely.....

- When they're finished, they call everyone out for gigantic OTN, and then they go into deriheru!
This time, un:c is the one to sit in luz's lap
- during Deriheru, meychan introduces the keyboardist but then he suddenly starts playing..... Happy Birthday! and un:c exclaims "we're doing it now?! Here?!" while luz replied "There's no other time to do it but here~"
- They bring out a cake for him, and tell the audience they have a special present for him!! He's guided off the stage by Araki and nqrse
- While waiting, they discuss his special present: gero says that he'll be so shocked he might not want to show up ever again, and they all agree that they want to be watching from the audience instead, and start pointing at guest viewing area, saying they should just leave and go there right now. They predict what he'll say when he sees what they have prepared (MAJI KA) and it is revealed that nqrse is the mastermind behind it all.... Gero tells us a wig is involved and we can mostly guess what's happening at this point
- un:c finally comes out and he's...! in a girls' sailor uniform!!!! He's got a fluffy light-coloured wig and everything. the skirt is actually fairly short, as we could see when he stepped up ont he the platform to show off the outfit.... He keeps pulling at the skirt and is in some kind of shy girl pose HE WAS REALLY CUTE.... I'M SORRY
- He also kept having to push hair out of his face cuz the wig was so fluffy.....
- gero's is lounging on the floor and says something that makes unc walk on over to him, straddle him and flash him, then squat down on him like he's in some sort of strip club...................
- luz? says that since we've had this outfit specially prepared, they want him to sing in it one more time, and they send him off to sing the first part of Fansa one more time.... The spotlight is on him and it's clear he was definitely not expecting to sing again, because he made like he was about to keep going after the first chorus but wasn't sure
- They then finish off deriheru with him like that, but instead of the normal performance where luz is lying on the platform and un:c runs to him, un:c is standing on the platform and luz walks onto it, grabs his chin and pulls his face to his....... it was quite the scene
- He still grabs luz's leg after that like normal though LOL
- They also go into Cocktail and he clearly wants to change out of it already, but they won't let him..... He ends up laughing his way through his first few lines of the song and it's really cute...... everyone cheered him on
- They ALL do the mixing motion in the song this time, which was super amusing to watch
- Again gero, meychan, and un:c kept doing the nikuchomo motions, and others would also join in

ENCORE

-Gero and KOOL's death metal scream during secret answer is so good I know I mentioned it last time as well but they are SO GOOD

- We take a picture with the cake, and as it's brought it again, gero comments that it's properly got orange on it!! Meychan takes a look and says, "no there's not" (there definitely is, if you look at their pictures?) and gero looks at him like he's crazy.... He tries to reason it out for a while before gero articulates this thought
- Someone mentions that un:c's art is on the cake!! And he says "yeah, I made it!" to which gero is like "YOU MADE THE CAKE???" (no)
- We take the picture by saying un:c-san, omedetiiiii
- They say nqrse should feed un:c the cake, so unc steps up to him at first, but takes steps back as we watch nqrse pick up the Entire Cake
- He ends up taking a bit out of it while nqrse tries to push as much of the corner into his face as possible, covering about half of him.... then un:c turns around to look at us while he's chewing, as everyone calls him cute~
- He spends a long time wiping his face, and nqrse takes the towel from him because it actually got on his clothes as well LOL

- While waiting for his name to be called (first), KOOL was doing a cute little dance from side to side
- He said that his hair always gets super messed up at concerts and his stylist gets maed at him... He talks about how he wants the blue to represent the sky, but since it's quite a dark shade he's fine with it representing the ocean

- They decided to let the audience decide whether to call gero Gero, or Kinjou. They counted down and let us shout as loud as possible, and when gero stepped up to talk he said he had no idea which was louder LOL
- Gero says he wants a Team Zucchini since there's a team nqrse and team paripi, and turns to un:c to invite him since meychan doesn't want to do it. un:c speaks agreeably but gero goes "YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE ANY INTENTION OF DOING IT DO YOU" and un:c's like "nonono by all means" (doubt)
- gero said he saw un:c's balls
- Kony's name was brought up in regards to nikucho but I don't remember the context anymore. Something about him being the Most Powerful

- Shoose greets us politely and then says, "i must be too tall, huh?" and crouches down like a yankee to many people screaming... You can hear gero going "an aura's coming out?!"
- He stands back up and nqrse appears from behind and looks through from between his legs.....
- Shoose says that the two before him are always so powerful, so gero and KOOL go to proudly stand arm-in-arm while gero points at luz and says he always tsukkomis them
- Shoose mentions his one-man, and says that there's probably many people that don't know him, but it's fine if you ~do it now~
-I think most people missed it because he didn't get much of a reaction, so they made him say it again to prompt us LOL
- He also says that we should go to subsequent XYZ shows but gero tells him they're already sold out, so he tells us that we should just go stand outside instead

- There's some confusion on the next person to talk: People were expecting nqrse, but I think luz wanted people to call him?
- Eventually nqrse takes the center and luz ends up on his side, and gero physically drags shoose over to his other side, sets him in place, and tells them to Do It
- nqrse does the buruzon chiemi bit properly this time, still with gero providing BGM, and luz takes off his jacket again......
- nqrse also imitates kradness, and luz laughs and tells us he really loves imitating him

- luz calls meychan nikuchomo but he ignores that and steps out normally, telling us that he's got an announcement!! He tells us that on October 26th, he....... IS GOING TO WATCH SHOOSE'S ONEMAN!!! and we're all like jeeeez DUDE
- He turns to shoose and they start bowing rapidly at each other as he asks for permission to go LOL and shoose is like "of course by all means!!"

- Araki talks pretty seriously about making the most of the time they have right now, because time passes fast!!
- He also mentions un:c's birthday, but he says that it "often" happens during the summer and everyone's just like ??????????? often??????

- un:c starts in a similar vein but also keeps saying that his mind's gone blank and he can't think of anything to say
- He said that when he was brought into and saw the sailor uniform laid out for him, his vision went dark. He told nqrse that he "will remember this"
He talked about how there was a sudden earthquake and storm after it became his birthday, and he said it seemed like a bad omen.... and he was RIGHT (re: uniform)
- He did his Sex Talk and said it'll be short so people went "EHHHHH" but he replied that he "likes it short" (?)

- luz goes last, and reminds us again to please take care of ourselves and if you feel like you might faint, not to hesitate to call for help. It looks like someone actually did need help, so he points them out and gero steps in to reassure them that there's nothing wrong with getting help, and that everyone is worried for them. He gets us all the clap when they're able to get up again.... a sweetheart ;v;
- luz messed up some of his words again, it was pretty cute
- He also did the nikuchomo motion but kept moving back and forth and gero pointed out that that's incorrect? and he was just like "but we've been doing it like this the entire time....." and trails off quietly
- he calls everyone his beloved XYZ members~

- gero says it's sayonara and luz tells us that it actually is sayonara for him and KOOL! They all bow and say sayonara.
- Again, nqrse doesn't hold meychan's hand, poor boy..... Then araki doesn't, so gero directs him to grab un:c's hand instead, who immediately takes his hand away... He then reaches tot he other side and grabs luz's wrist, who doesn't pull away but just kind of freezes there and they look at each other for a moment..... meychan finally lets go and araki and nqrse take his hands at last LOL
- luz gives un:c such a gentle and pure hug
- luz and shoose also do something to the side as theyre waving but I couldn't see... I heard people scream though

I'm so glad I was able to go to this performance.......... I screamed so much and un:c birthday celebration was so worth it

After 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!

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

Day1-specific

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]

Day2-specific

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?!!?"

Encore

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

At the very end, when they had left the stage, there were lots of fireworks!! It was super pretty and a great way to end the night.

The second day of XYZ Tour in at Zepp Nagoya!! Performers were luz, Araki, un:c, Senra, nqrse, Meychan, Kradness, and SILVANA

Kradness and Meychan dueted Otome Kaibou! I thought Kradness might be singing it when he sang it at Underbar Fes hahaha
Team nqrse debuted their original song today!! It was really good and even though they were all just standing there for the most part luz somehow made himself look very hot
Senra's growls during the chorus are SO GOOD!! It's totally missing from the recorded version, because in place of it is an autotune effect which is also really nice but not quite the same....
I also really like nqrse's solo, This night. I assume amatsuki's going to join min on it later? The lighiting for it is all pink and nice and it flashes to the beat in a really nice way. And of course he's super cool singing it!
Kradness' jacket was SO SPARKLY they ended up referring to him by his jacket for most of the show
During Team Paripi's talk, meychan said he wanted to say something he probably shouldn't say and the other two were like, what is it? 'we're not like party people at all, are we...?" He kept talking but the other two were stood ned to each other regarding him like, :/
During the group songs, un:c went over to Kradness A Lot and shared mics with him at least twice for no reason?? they both had mics... their heads would get so close together it was cute....
un:c also stood up on the drummer's platform a LOT he looked so cool up there LOL

During today's gigantic OTN, araki? and nqrse sat seiza across from each other and started bowing, then everyone else started copying them until luz was the only one left standing, and he was pointing at everyone's heads and almost patting them
During the band introductions, nqrse kept screaming about the bassist's leg sand felt them up, then started picking at his bass again
meychan introduced the keyboardist and said it was his birthday!! ... to which everyone else started yelling that he was a liar LMAO
luz then did the same thing with the guitarist, then said himself that he was lying~
un:c and meychan seemed to have a lot of fun doing the nikuchomo motions during deriheru, they were so cute
un:c waved directly at a lot of people again.... I was a little closer this time so I could see it for myself... he'd nod when he made eye concact and smile so brightly

Encore

SILVANA asked us if we did anything summer-like and said that he went to the beach in boots even though he knew he was going to the beach
Senra talked about his extremely tight shiny pants and how he could barely move in them
luz waited for Kradness to introduce him while looking at him very intently.... When Kradness realised what he was supposed to do, he did a very grand twirl (sparkling a lot in the process) and gestured to luz, saying his name loudly
Apparently luz has the intonation for "two days" wrong (I can't tell...) so the audience kept laughing and trying to help him correct it.... nqrse suggested that it's the same intonation as "mayonnaise" but he was able to say that just fine... He seemed so confused.... then he messed up the pronunciation of something else and told us, "I'm really not doing this on purpose..."
nqrse said it was the drummers birthday and we all sang hbd for him, luz gave him the mic and he was like "what should I do" and said hes been with xyz for a while but this is his first time talking
he stood up and went to the front and was trying to do something, but messed up and had to repeat it?
They made fun of meychan's jacket and he brought up that he's actually wearing.... two ties.....
araki started his talk like HEY HEY HEY YEAH YEAH so they called him gero
un:c drank so much water while everyone was talking LOL I wonder if it was something he ate
He started his talk by saying that something about the start of this tour feels so nostalgic... He talked about how nothing lasts forever (so he wants to do what he can now?) and that he's getting old LOL
un:c told us that he was doing something new and is gonna be an idol, then went into the sex thing and you could hear someone saying "that's not good"
meanwhile, luz was giggling like mad and at the end he said "boku sore suki"

For today's group picture, luz made sure to note that he was sitting properly like everyone else, unlike yesterday
During the bow, again nqrse wouldn't let meychan hold his hand.... and this time araki, on his other side, even joined in , so meychan ended up making a sad face and covered his face... Everyone tried to cheer him up but nqrse still refused to touch him LOL
While they all waved goodbye for the night, unc waved ssooo much and made finger hearts and big hearts and took time at each section of the stage like twice... it felt like they had a lot of time to wave today
At the very, very end, they all got on to the middle platform to bow one last time and meychan ended up next to nqrse again.... nqrse made a disgusted face but SILVANA pushed them together anyways HAHAHA

The first day of XYZ Tour in at Zepp Nagoya!! Performers were luz, Araki, un:c, Shoose, nqrse, Meychan, KOOL, and Gero

opened with Alice in NY, with Shoose doing Senra's part
Shoose and luz's Mixed Juice was super spicy... they danced in sync at parts and were all over each other as usual
I love un:c and shoose's Million Dollar Baby so much....! Their little dance in the middle is so cute... Also I guess here un:c flat laid down and lifted his leg all the way up for like no reason?? it was great
Team Party People (Araki, Meychan, un:c) came out for the only MC (it was pretty much non-stop for the rest of the show) and taught us what to say during their song!! One of them said that if if anyone of XYZ were to be in team paripi it'd be them (???)
Gero and KOOL did a duet and they both yelled "ARE YOU FUCKING READY???" at us it was great
un:c's fansa was sooo cute he blew kisses and made hearts
When he said the "I'll make them my treasure" line you could hear the sparkles in his voice
shoose and nqrse singing Higai Mousou Keitai Joshi (wara) also brought out tonnes of screams
un:c and KOOL sang cycle!! They got us to turn off all our penlights and bring out our towels, it was very fun!!
The lights mostly remained off for KOOL's solo; his original song!!
luz and meychan's duet was such a turn from luz's usual in that he didn't try to do anything racy at all, which was suprising
luz also sang his original, FANATIC, and this time I was familiar enough with the hand actions to do it~
at the very end of FANATIC, luz would whisper a very soft 「最高」that made everyone yell.....
He then called everyone out for Gigantic OTN!
It was absolute chaos on stage for that song?! people were running around singing with each other and throwing their arms over each others' shoulders...... Gero/shoose/KOOl in particular seemed to be having their own little dance party for the most part
un:c ran off stage to the right and we were all like ?!?!? until he returned like nothing happened? Then he ran off again and more people followed, with gero yelling at them from the other end
eventually everyone ran off with him expect for luz, who kind of just stood there looking confused until they all finally returned.
They went into deriheru, which was marignally less chaotic, and un:c and luz did their usual thing where they faced each other and un:c crouched down and grabbed luz's leg, staying like that til the end of the song while everyone was all standing next to him
I'm not sure which song it was, but at one point KOOl ended up on luz's lap and they (sort of) both did sit-ups together?
They did band member introductions during deriheru, and nqrse introduced the bass!! He yelled a lot aboutn how thin his legs were, and then went up to him and started picking at the bass as he was playing
The last song was CocktaiL!! At the 混ぜ合わせて　いけますように line, gero, shoose, and KOOL all did wild mixing motions and looked like they were having the time of their lives...... They really seemed like they were having fun together today
The three of them also kept doing the nikuchomo motions during one of the group songs
At some point kool or shoose had grabbed the other and pulled them really really close??? I don't really remmeber exactly what happened but it definitely Happened

Encore

For Secret Answer, Gero and KOOL did Sekihan's death metal scream~
Roki
KOOL and Gero both talked super fast for their encore, because they were told they only got 3 minutes each? Luz called both of them weird but when he introduced shoose he called him the Kirameki Ouji
Gero was introduced as Kinjou, and walked in saying that he's a youtuber LOL.... He mentioned that he wanted to do Summer Zucchini Party with meychan again this year, but blamed meychan, saying he didn't want to do it
meychan defended himself by asking how many days gero was able to participate in for this tour ("two.....") and said that that's way too much effort to come up with a bit for just two days..... gero still wanted to do it, and then targeted un:c and said he wanted to invite him to join in as well
Shoose walked to the centre stage and said that he's going to be a completely different mood from the first two. He tried talking really fast at first to match them, but immediately gave up and gave us his usual very polite "Nice to meet you, my name is Shoose"
He said that many people might not know him, but he'd like for us to at least remember his name... Then he mentioned that he's having a One-Man Live in October, with luz and senra as guests. He said that *the three of them* will work hard and then cut himself off, going "What am I even saying, this is my one-man"
He called luz to the front for this, and then somehow nqrse interrupted and stood between them, saying it looks like he's Buruzon Chiemi with B
They all made him do the skit, but he didn't actually know it that well? Gero provided the BGM but nqrse couldn't get the tempo quite right, so the audience said it along with him and he ended up yelling at us and telling us that we should be the ones rapping instead LOL
He attempts one final time and luz actually takes off his jacket at the right timing, which shoose kind of slides one shoulder of his jacket down... many screams
For meychan's talk, he was trying to follow up on something nqrse was doing and messed up, so gero told him to redo it from the beginning. He then stood there waiting for luz to re-introduce him but luz was kind of silently spaced out... When he finally realised he was supposed to call meychan again he laughed so cutely?!
Araki was so loud that he exclaimed that he didn't even need the mic, and handed it off to nqrse. His voice really did carry?! It was pretty amazing. But, as he kept talking, he did get a bit softer, and the audience souted out sometimes which meant we couldn't hear him during those times. He tried to get the mmic back from nqrse but nqrse wouldn't hand it back over for the longest time..... He finally shoved it at araki near the end liek TSK TSK
un:c talked about Boys & Girls and how Araki wrote the lyrics, DYES IWASAKI composed it, and he drew and made the video!! Luz started asking about meychan and what he did, and un:c got a bit flustered, saying that of course he helped out too!! he took lots of pictures for the video, but he ended up not using any of them....... BUT they gave him inspiration for what he actualyl wanted to put in the video...! At this, you could hear gero cackling softly like, not even one picture was used, how sad
Someone mentions his sex spiel so he goes into that and everyone else moves to the back of the stage to sit down.... He says his theme this time around is Idol, and every time he mentions the word "sex" the stage lighting turnes a purple-pink
it was a really long talk
They finish with Finale, and shoose and gero do the rap part together!! They sound so good
For the bow, meychan and nqrse end up next to each other, but nqrse absolutely refuses to let meychan hold his hand?? He kept swatting him away, it was super amusing.
As they all wandered the stage saying goodbye to the audience, gero and meychan did nikuchomo and the entire audience did it with them!! Then, un:c seemed to want to do it as well, so they both gestured to him and the centre stage like "go ahead" and we did it once again!! He seemed so happy LOL IT WAS REALLY CUTE....
They were SO energetic as they said goodbye and would be arm in arm waving at people..... un:c in particular seemed to wave really directly at people ... he made lots of finger hearts as well aaaaaaaa
They get together to say goodbye one more time, and all say "sayonara" to us as gero's been loudly doing this entire time LOL

They were all really so wild today.... The energy was sky high and it looked like they had a lot of fun! I had a lot of fun too. It was a great start to the tour!!

At. Malletto's first talk and singing event!! Asamaru was the main performer, with Tourai present as guest and Jack and Yumamiya on a call from their respective locations via discord. Lots of other staff were there to help out! I definitely recognised rfdn. Jack's perspective was streamed on twitcast here.

- We were given a postcard with a date printed in big letters on one side, and an illustration by keito of all four singing members of the circle on the other side!! I was so preoccupied by the illustration I didn't even realise that the date said 2019/12/31 until Jack pointed it out later on (and judging he audience reaction, most others didn't realise either HAHA)

- Asamaru came out and told us that he couldn't get the audio from Jack to work for the longest time, and thought he might die......
- His hair's so curly and long!! It looks super cute
- He sang I love you, I need you and Hitchcock
- He then brought Jack in, and they talked for a bit. Then, tourai was called in, and he kept looking towards the back of the audience where staff was?? But tourai then came out of the side of the stage, peeking out of the curtains looking a little confused while holding his phone and tablet. He had been watching the stream and commenting while it was going on LOL
- He took a seat next to asamaru, and put all his devices on the stand, so he could continue watching.
- he kept saying he was really nervous......
- When they were hyping up his solo and he wailed "don't raise the hurdles so much!!" he took a suuuuper long drink of water
- Tourai sang Amaryllis no Yuuutsu with Asamaru on guitar! At the start, asamaru cut off the call, but just as Tourai was about to sing, we heard.... yumamiya's voice?! We all laughed and tourai said not to have that happen at such an important time LMAO....
- He stood up to sing and was sooo good.....
Every time they'd mention the next CD, tourai would hunch over and look like he's dying.... he would be smiling at the same time though
- Tourai also sang totoro solo!! He stood up for that as well, and we all clapped and sang along
- They sang something together but I forgot what;;;
- Asamaru sang [a song i should know....] and so many people were sniffling by the end......

- We all left the room so they could set up merch, and returned a little bit later! Asamaru stood away from the goods table and passed people postcards as they left
- eventually tourai joined him and asamaru announced very loudly, "tourai will shake your hand if you buy merch!!" to which tourai started freaking out and and he was just bending over covering his face.... cute.....
- the two support band members stood along the line as well and talked to us!! I already wasn't sure I had much to say to asamaru and tourai so i panicked a little when I came up to them but they were very nice and commented on my banana plush keychain.....
- When I talked to asamaru, I thanked him and told him I had a lot of fun today! then.... I ran out of things to say.... but tourai was still talking to the person in front of me, so I couldn't move on and it was a little awkward for a moment :') but then I mentioned I was from Canada and he said, "oh!! Did you bring maple syrup last time?" I didn't but he mentioned that they seemed to get quite a few Canadian attendees! I also asked if there were Americans but apparently they're not as common, which surprised me
- As I was being passed off to tourai, asamaru quickly mentioned to him that i was from canadalol.... tourai thanked me for attending and asked if I would go again, and I said of course!! He had a big smile on his face and was very warm :)

This was such a cute and warm event.... It was nice to see asamaru after such a long time, and tourai for the first time!! It was also great to hear from jack and yumamiya again~ It's such a fun setup to have them on call!

Gero's Live Tour Utattemita day at F.A.D. Yokohama! Guest was un:c.

- The rules announcements were done by un:c, who read them as expected :') He read it carefully but stumbled a little over some of it and the first time everyone replied to him with an "Okay~" he stopped and was like "Ah-- yes"
- The performance started with his usual intro music and he came in with Ai no Scenario!
- After two songs he he told us he was already exhausted (he was sweating like crazy because he moved SO MUCH on stage LOL) and said that there'd be a lot of older songs this time around (sorry to fans of newer songs) A few I can remember off the top of my head were dappou rock, scissorhands, dramaturgy, and ama no jaku! Despite saying he was tired he was SO powerful through all of it and he got us to move a LOT
- He asked if there were people going to his concert for the first time, and someone in the front raised their hand! When he asked them what their reason for going was, they said their friend brought them, and he looked so pleased!! He reached out for a high five with them
- un:c was called in pretty early? Gero mentioned that he's got to go to Hokkaido the next day for XYZ and everyone was like EHHHHHH
- They talked about the typhoon and gero said that for the people going to his tour day tomorrow as well, they should just sleep at the venue
- They dueted PLATONIC GIRL, then un:c sang deriheru yondara kimi ga kita! He taught us to do the motions and we jumped lots
- gero returned to the stage and said he wanted to sing deriheru as well, so they sang up to the first chorus, with gero making weird voices at the "change change change" parts
- un:c said that gero just got to rest during his solo but now he's already all worked up again
- second duet was Setsuna Trip!
- When un:c left the stage, gero talked about how good his performance and staging always is~
- for from y to y, gero spent so much time messing around before it that no one could go into the song seriously and he had to restart like 3 times........ You could hear very clear audience laughter and hed turn to the band members like THIS IS SERIOUS BUT I CAN HEAR PEOPLE CACKLING (its your own fault, friend)
- He wanted to turn off the airconditioning because he says the audience gets really pumped up like that, so staff cut it off around this time
- He also mentioned that during reherasals, he doesn't sing nearly as well or get as pumped up, and that it's thanks to us that support him that he's able to perform well for the real thing all the time ;v;
- Kimi Jyanakya Dame Mitai was super fun.... When it was finished he faced puyo while laughing and puyo complained that it's such a freaking difficult song.... gero was like "well you're gonna do it lots this year!!!!"
- I love gero's Rinne so much so I'm really glad he included it in the setlist again...... His movements and expressions during it are the absolute best
- He ended with Two Breaths Walking!!
-His hair always gets so messed up that this time he pushed his bangs up and they just stayed there like that LOL

encore
- The band came out to talk for a bit first, and Hiroki talked about how he recently hasn't caught a cold even though he used to get sick really easily, and how it's probably because he's been eating properly...... He complained that veggies had gotten expensive recently and puyo suddenly commented, saying "at what kind of band concert do they talk about how veggies are expensive...."
- When gero returned to the stage, he told everyone he realised that when he asked for the aircon to be cut off, it was only off on the stage end, so he got needlessly hot LOL
- he asked the audience if we were hot and we all replied that it was cool~ (i thought it was still quite hot tho so i'm glad the aircon wasn't cut.........)
- He did a song that I didn't really know? It was super high energy and we headbanged a lot but it was super short, so he wanted to do it again
- puyo had to keep swapping guitars LMAO
- Last song was fire flower!! He took forever to start the song because he started singing Ben. E. King's Stand By Me for some reason... except he doesn't actually know the lyrics for it, so as the band played the instrumental, he'd just repeat "IN THE NIGHT" over and over again...... I could hear some of the audience singing along (properly) as wel
- He had us chant a variety of strange things near the end in place of the usual part of fire flower
- He told un:c to go home early so he could be rested for his trip to Hokkaido, so he wasn't present for the end!
- He was stuck on a particular phrase that I didn't really understand, but he wanted us to say it to take the picture too and said if we didnt raise our fists for it he'd find us and put a gigantic stamp over our faces
- Then instead of doing it himself he made a weird face and thumbs up......
- Before he left the stage, he high fived like as many people he could in all the rows he could reach from the front!! It was a sea of hands....
- When the show was over and we were getting drinks, they played Stand By Me as BGM and we all sang along LOL we definitely knew much more of the song that gero did..... :'D

This performance was super fun and super HOT!!! I'm glad to see gero and the band again after so long~ Looking forward to the other tour days B^)

I went to Underbar Fes at Club Citta!! Performers were Underbar, Shijin, Nero, NORISTRY, Ikasan, Morudeo, Yutori, Zuzu, Kradness, Tarachio, Kony, and Alfakyun!

They gave us a little badge at the start~

Before the performance began, they played underbar's originals while we waited and so many people sang and danced along!! It seemed like they were having a lot of fun..... Underbar's fans always come off to me as so pure and enthusiastic lol

The performance started with an original song from underbar!! It's the first time I've gotten to see him with his backup dancers. He was super cute! Shijin came out to join him, acting like? a knight? servant…? They both left, and a small video (close to his usual hand-drawn style) came up, explaining the situation. Underbar wanted to bring a bunch of people to his planet, so he chose people he often ate out with. Now they're trapped on his planet and need to sing to get out!! The audience played the part of residents of his planet.

The first pair to come out were Ikasan and Alfakyun! They spent mc making big deal out of being trapped, and then ikasan went to sit at the front right corner of the stage to watch fakyun's solo performance, where she sang Rettou Joutou!!! Energetic right of the bat. She then changed places with Ikasan, who sang plus danshi!! Ikasan kept pulling fakyun onto the middle stage to participate and it was clear it wasn't planned LOL but they looked like they were having so much fun.... They then dueted Charles~

Next pair was NORISTRY and Nero! They renamed everyone with underbar world names (○○daba). Nero sang Renai Philosophia (incredible lung capacity wtf), and Nori sang a breathtaking tobacco..... You could feel the pure awe from the audience when he was done, it was really incredible. They dueted something together as well, with nori being excited about it as always :')

Kony and Kradness were after them. Their mc part was so ENERGETIC they were talking so fast and loudly?! Kradness said kony was a year older than him, so he should go first. He sang the jazz arrangement of Mr. Music!! It was super nice to see him singing again~ since he's always so busy with work..... Kradness did his duet, then they did U.S.A. together!! Kradness mostly danced along (i'm sure he's experienced by now) but kony looked at him and shook his head like NO WAY;; lolll i would have loved to see him do it too though

Tarachio and Zuzu screamed SO MUCH OMFG they were so funny!! I barely had any idea what was going on but it was a total blast. Zuzu kept wondering why on earth he was invited when he's a let's player, but he was so good!! he sang? one of his own songs? I'm not actually sure but it was definitely a gag thing… He had the lyrics appear up in a video, and it was funny stories from his school days or something. It was so fun to watch…. Tarachio sang a normal rock song but with such incredible POWER he was very cool!!

Morudeo and Yutori were also really good, but I don't remember what exactly they sang anymore ;-; They also had an incredible amount of energy, though.

Last performer to come out was shijin, alone!! He was acting super weird, still talking strangely and acting like he was part of planet underbar, but then he stopped halfway and faced us, saying "What on earth am I doing….." He sang two solos, one being an original (!!) , then underbar joined him for their freedom version of shinde shimau to wa nasakenai~

At some point, the rest of the cast came out from the left side of the stage! Shijin tells them there's a quiz they have to do to get off the planet, and then underbar pushes him in with the group and tells him he's part of it too LOL. The first 7 questions are personal questions about underbar, like what juice he likes, how many people are in his family etc. The audience immediately started making signals for the performers LOL but the questions got harder and harder as they went on….. It was so chaotic on stage because the entire group was loud as hell, yelling and talking amongst each other. Alfakyun, NORISTRY, and ikasan were in the front so I got most of their banter. At one point, fakyun was trying to hint at what was being censored in one of the questions (a store name) and nori completely couldn't get it, so he turned slowly to ikasan, who loudly exclaimed "Don't look at me!! I have no idea!!!". Another question that was super entertaining was about how much alcohol underbar could take: A. 1 drink (>_<) ← cute!! B. 3 drinks C. 5 drinks D. [something about not knowing his limit yet] They were surprisingly lower volume for this question, until alfakyun said that they Definitely know the answer to this question, because they Know him. And if the answer is different, that means he's a LIAR. He kind of had an 'oh shit' expression on his face at that, which was super cute. They all voted for D, but the answer that came up was…. A!!!!! They all went to mob him on the other end of the stage, yelling and pretending to kick and punch him. He shoo'd them away and made the excuse that the people "behind" chose the answer and they all started yelling again LOL The 8th and 9th questions didn't seem to have anything to do with him and I barely understood them haha;; one was a history question. The last question was worth an extraordinary amount of points: "How is underbar feeling right now?" The answer turned out to be the unlisted answer E, so everyone lost and couldn't go home!! They all ran off and there was a 20 minute break.

The first pair to return to the stage were…. NORISTRY and alfakyun!! they came out from opposite ends, and nori kept calling himself "noridaba". They pretended to fight, and then fakyun did her solo! it was immediately followed by nori's solo, and then they sang A Whole New World (in English!!) together. They were really good….. Nori adds a lot of singing to his songs, so she followed suit and the surprise on his face was so great!! Their expressions as they watched the other singer hit those notes were fantastic.

Next were nero and kony!! nero kept calling kony mama, so the audience followed suit, but then he turned to us suddenly and looked at us very intensely, saying "I'M KONY". They did their solos (I remember kony's being a jazz arragement of karakuri pierrot), and then dueted a ballad! Kony actually lifted nero off the ground and carried him over his shoulder off the stage?! Everyone screamed…..

Next, kradness and ikasan came out running and screaming from opposite sides of the stage. Kradness said he'd sing a song a little unusual for him: Otome Kaibou! I don't remember their duet u_u They're both so tall they matched, in a weird way. Lastly, the group of let's play guys came out together and everyone was losing it!

Morudeo, Yutori, Tarachio, and Zuzu. They were complete chaos on stage, and couldn't stop laughing, especially zuzu. They said they wanted to keep the mood of all the pretty ballads, so yutori was going to sing one as well! the three others left the stage, and he went to stand in the middle. As the song started, he laughed into the first lines, and the music stopped and the group stormed back onto the stage, screaming at him. He blamed zuzu for laughing so much beforehand, and when they were done harassing him they left again and he safely sang the ballad properly. Following up after him was morudeo, also with a ballad! His went normally, but the beginning was acapella and I was really impressed by how confidently he sang it….. When he was done, they made zuzu sing a solo, with tarachio standing behind on stage to monitor him. It…. was not a ballad at all LOL and tarachio had so many tsukkomi parts….. It was absolutely hilarious though, he's so good at making people laugh!! The other two returned, saying that he ruined the mood they created HAHA.

Shijin then joined them, waving his sheet of lines in front of his face as he read them off, and they all yelled at him to remember his lines properly HAHAHA. They sang deriheru together!! They were so high-energy and were jumping all over the place! morudeo ended up taking off his jacket at some point because of that. It was super fun…… They ran off to the left of stage, with shijin kind of doing some kind of crabwalk shuffle as the last to leave…… Then they appeared again and ran through the middle props because apparently they went the wrong way LOL

Lastly was underbar's part!! He sang two originals solo, and was adorable as always~ He sang roki with fakyun, and panda hero with kradness and ikasan!! They did his freedom version, which surprised even him!! He seemed really happy about it ;v; He finished with, of course, Kochira, Koufuku Anshin Iinkai desu! He said that since we're all from his planet, we should all know what to do, but juuust in case, he wanted to tell us how to do the actions! (basically everyone really did know though LOL) The rest of the cast came out behind him in a line as he sang, and all did the saikou desu!! They finished with Bokura no Festival, which was so fun live?! They danced a lot, especially nori and ikasan! Nori and nero would also step out of line and look straight at each other for their harmony parts….. It was fun singing along, too! When they finished, they said goodbye and filed off stage.

The encore chant is so cute!! The audience all says "underbar wa saikou desu!" They returned and sang yi er fanclub together~ For the HOO HAA punching motions, fakyun and kony would turn to punch nero, who was between the two of them. Fakyun also ran over to the other side of the stage to put her arm around ikasan's shoulder for some reason? Cute.

For their last words, a lot of them talked about how they were younger (many students!!) listening to ansan and looking up to him. Fakyun declared that she loved him with that completely straight face of hers, and then punched him for real. She missed the first time and like punched his ribcage LOL. Zuzu was last, and did some sort of gag which tarachio filmed on his phone….. Underbar was completely blank-faced at it, and asked him to do it again, so the audience started cheering for it as well. He did a completely different gag, and then was asked to do one more?! They were all great though LOL and then he turned around and blamed tarachio for having to do so many.

This fes was a gathering of such high energy people!!! I laughed so much, and they put on an amazing show. I hope underbar continues to hold this every year, it was so fun!!

I went to natsucomi with Hisame! This time i had a bit more experience and free time so I went to see a few more people.

With the Olympics on the horizon, lining up was slightly more confusing than usual, but everything went quite smoothly and we got in soon enough! We first headed to NORISTRY and morudeo's table. I already had basically everything he was selling, but I still wanted to see him so I picked up an acrylic and badge. He was very nice and laughed at something morudeo saying to Hisame. I was nervous and ran away pretty quickly even though he wasn't too busy, but that's ok. We also stopped by kanon69's table for hisame, and then headed to the far wall where a lot of people we wanted to see were!

I was relieved to see that un:c's line wasn't actually too crazy, so I decided to go by his a little later. I picked up cleanero's new cd first. Clear was the one handling sales, while Nero was at the side spacing out. It was very in-character of both of them. They also had two helpers with them! I recognise their faces but I'm not too familiar with their names... I think they were canaria staff.

I was trying to get some of hydamio's items for Linn, but I'm really not familiar with him so I ended up running around between a few tables in confusion.... I accidentally lined up for monopalette for a bit but noticed they didn't really have anything I was looking for on their table and left. We were in awe at how pretty every single boy was at that table though. I finally got to the right table and grabbed my things! I didn't know what he looked like but I'm pretty sure it was his voice. He was very gentle and even though he was wearing a mask I could still see him smile realy big as he thanked me :')

I went to un:c's table and bought like....... half his stuff....... I didn't total everything beforehand because i made impulse purchases, so when he told me the total, I was too busy thinking about his voice to actually pay attention to the number he said and froze?? He then thought he got the total wrong and apologised so sincerely and seemed a little frazzled and I felt so bad because I just didn't hear properly HAHAHA....... He was so cute though.... I told him I was excited to see him at XYZ and gero's tour and went on my way.... WEW. He was wearing a cap+mask and his anniversary tshirt, which he was also selling!

Last was glutamine's table! He had soo many CDs and I was confused about which ones linn wanted but he very cheerfully pointed out the names of each of them. He was so energetic!! He was wearing a pink? shirt that looked very nice on him. I ended up getting the gerotamine CD and his little plush keychain as well. He told me that since they all had different shapes, I could choose the one I liked. He might have noticed that I was speaking English to Hisame because he kept exclaiming short English words, like "choice! choice!" it was adorable.

I also stopped by natsushiro's table but the exchange there was really quick!! We then walked all the way outside up a ramp to the South Hall's second floor, where ASK was helping marasy with sales. It was SUPER busy around their table so we didn't get really close, but we just wanted to catch a glimpse of him anyways loool. He looked as efficient as always, and had a towel around his neck to periodically wipe sweat away. Super Salesman ASK!!

my goods~

I went to luz's one-man tour finale at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo!

The opening was really cool! Some music started playing normally to signify that the concert was starting, and the lighting switched to match, but then it stopped really abruptly and all the lights went out and so many people screamed?! (It was pitch black because he doesn't allow lightsticks) Then, much louder music started and the band came out, followed by luz, who was completely covered in a black robe with the hood over him. He was also wearing full (!!!!) red gloves with the hood. They went straight into Fanatic!! I don't remember how or when he ended up taking off the hood, but it was by the end of the song. I couldn't do the hand motions but like everyone around me did it! It was super cool to see.

He did a lot of more hardcore upbeat rock songs and there was so many opportunities to headbang! I'm not too familiar with all of his stuff but there was some I recognised and some that I was hearing for the first time. He sang Eh, Ah Sou here and specifically said the "fuck" serifu hahaha. They were all super wild though, I'm surprised with how quickly we went from song to song!! He has so much energy and his singing never wavered. Sometimes even his drink breaks were timed to be during instrumental parts of songs so there were very few gaps between songs...... He also gave looooots of fanservice -- blowing kisses, lying on the floor, running.... his hand... down his body..... embracing the band members. One of the earliest things I remember him doing was holding MiA from behindand pressing his head right next to him, then pulling his tanktop strap right down his shoulder.... wild

After all the songs to get us moving, he did a string of ballads!! He sang kokoronashi here...... It was really really good and emotional.

AFter that, it was back to headbanging!! I think he sang queen of hearts here. He also changed his outfit a bit at some point, and now the full red gloves were half red gloves, ah yes. While he was gone, the band got us to do cheers! It was fun.

For the encore, He finally had time to talk! He introduced the lipstick and perfume merch but wanted to do it in his home dialect, but he didn't know how to say it so he asked if anyone was from there... It turned out there were at least two people that were! He asked the guy's name and talked to him for a bit, then was told what words to say. At some point he also targeted another guy near the front who seemed really tall, but I think he's a regular :'D His interactions with the audience are really cute..... People shout a lot of things at him and he just stands there trying to understand what everyones saying and puts on this really troubled expression.

He did a bit for Cutie Honey where he gathered the band members to the front, where they were gonna tell us what to dance for the chorus, and he played the drums... except he can't play the drums. He was supposed to lead in with a beat but kept failing, so the drummer, LEVIN, went back to help him. We did it a few times, and then it was time for the real thing! luz gotoff the drums and told us that his first time playing the drums was very fun. During the actual song, he danced along with us and was soooo cute.....

Complete side note, bunt all the band members are so tall?! Theyre very close to his height.... except for levin, who was like shorter than everyones shoulders!! Seeing them lined up for the bow was really interesting.

He also talked about how this is the last day of his 4th tour, and how it's really become associated with his image of summer! He mentions how a tour happening every year is never a certain thing, and how things might be different when he's thirty, and maybe we won't be here anymore. He mentions his fellow utaite friends, and names soraru and mafumafu in particular. He talked about how someday people might just feel like stopping (but wants to do what he can with the time and opportunities he has now?) He said the last two songs he was going to sing were for the audience who supports him. I thought that was nice. He really seemed like he was gonna cry at the end of the last song.... He went to hug each of the band members, but MiA gave him a direct kiss instead (to thunderous screaming) and with levin, he picked him up and spun him around, which was super cute. He stayed on stage alone for a really long time, saying goodbye to everyone and it seemed like he tried to make eye contact with as many people as possible in the front.

Nayogorou's acoustic live at Ikebukuro! I went to the 2nd and 3rd performances~
It was a small venue that had seats and tables, but I stood near that back near the bar. It was very easy to see!

During the 2nd performance, she told us that there'd be more J-pop than vocaloid songs, but in the end she looked confused and realised it's probably the next performance with all the J-pop LOL. I don't know most of the titles of what she sang, but one of them was mata ne ga areba, which I love a lot~
After the singing portion, Nayugorou and some volunteers from the audience (almost everyone was too shy :') ) played a small game? I didn't understand the rules, but it was something like 3-syllable shiritori? And they had to say it to the beat of the BGM. The winners got a ticket to talk to her for 3 minutes!

In the 3rd performance, she changed clothes! It was a much more casual look than the outfit she had on earlier. She sat down on a stool to sing the first few songs. I think it was this performance where she sang a song that she said was unusual for her, which she also sang at NORISTRY's mini one man. I forgot the title but it's a good song........... She also talked about how for one song she always has to concentrate so hard on not saying "chinpo" instead of "tempo" and the pianist was like, ok yeah me too. We all had a good laugh at that....
For this part's game, we played bingo! I got riichi second and she actually noticed and pointed my card out;; I ended up getting a bingo first and won a 3-minute talk ticket!
As usual, I had no idea what I would say but she's really good at talking so I think it went pretty smoothly...! She kind of recognised me from nori's mini live! I told her that I was really happy to hear her sing Metronome, and she said that she thinks it's a song a lot of people like of hers, and thanked me. She also talked about nori and how she'd love to do more collabs with him! She asked if I was going to his performance tomorrow and I was like ?!?!?!? but luckily it's not a local one.... I think it's his one-man finale in Osaka? She also mentioned iStar but I can't go to that either ;v; I also mentioned that I really loved the group hikaru nara~

I think this acoustic style suits her and her song choices so much! Her voice was very strong the entire way through and sounded so very lovely~ It was wonderful being able to listen to her live again!
