2020/02/26 S!N Seven Deadly Sins

S!N’s 4th day of his week of free concerts in Tokyo!! He did a week in Osaka earlier this month, as well! The guests today were Megatera Zero and Ryo-kun~

✦ megatera came out first and he had really dark lipstick and eye makeup omfg people were losing it LMAO
✦ his hair was also styled pretty cool, kind of puffed up
✦ he was also carrying beer right from the get-go smh…. he kept drinking it between breaks
✦ He sang charles, an original, and deriheru!
✦ ryo-kun had like……. metal makeup with the dark eyes omg… and apparently they also emphasized his beard
✦ he still suits bright songs so much………. it was really nice to hear him live for the first time!! he sounded really lovely and exactly like he does in his covers!! his kansaiben is super strong though which surprised me
✦ he was in a hat with his hoodie pulled over his head and he complained it was hot but refused to take anything off
✦ I wasn’t really familiar with the songs he sang except for DOGS
✦ megatera kept riding onto the stage on a scooter, which he was also playing with backstage apparently
✦ S!N's makeup was SO good ahhhh…… half his face was a skull but he still looked perfectly beautiful
✦ he did what i assume are his regular songs and it looked like so much fun…. i was trapped at the door so it wasn’t very wild on my end but i watched everyone go absolutely nuts on the main floor and was jelly… it's okay though cuz i wouldn’t really have known what to do anyways i guess!!
✦ he screams so much and does that death metal screech so well…… i can't believe he chose to do this every night for a week, twice
✦ at his last song, he screamed over the music that he hoped that we all had a fun time and (that he’d be happy if we could all consider the concert a fun part of our lives?) I’m not really sure about his phrasing but it was about having fun hha
✦ When S!N was finished with his songs, the other two came back out to join him and they talked for a bit! Megatera came out holding MORE beer and kept shouting things as S!N yelled at him for not even bringing a mic with him
✦ he disappeared backstage and s!n was like, “he probably went to get more beer-- nope he went to get something even worse” as he wheeled out on the scooter again
✦ they told us it’s actually kettaro’s scooter and he forgot to bring it back with him LOL
✦ s!n smiled so much as they all talked together and was generally a lot softer than when he sings….. the gap is very cute
✦ they talked about their crazy makeup, and ryo-kun said that megatera never gets makeup done for events, and instead hovers around others getting makeup done and enthusiastically goes “いいっすね!いいっすね!”
✦ when people ask him if he wants to get makeup done as well, he declines going “no i’m too ugly for makeup”
✦ s!n said that when he came in and saw megatera doing his makeup, he was so surprised!! and then when he was done, ryo-kun sat down to get his done. He was curious, so he walked around to look at his face and was surprised to see horizontal lines being drawn down his eyes LMAO
✦ they said they should get together for another event and all dress up again!! they also want to bring tarachio along
✦ ryo-kun pointed at megatera’s hair and said he looks like his mascot at 2019’s Chang Gero Sonic LOL
✦ megatera then told us that they were actually mad at him for insisting on the round red mascot instead of a human version, but that gero was very kind and forgave him lmaooo
✦ they also pointed out that even with all that skull makeup s!n looked good af
✦ they kept getting us to cheer each other it was cute
✦ it was actually pretty short even though it felt like they sang tonnes of songs?! the entire thing was about an hour and fifteen minutes 0: They said goodbye to us and we were sent off to get merch and drinks~

I had a lot of fun despite not really knowing many of the songs!! The audience was great and all three of the had such good energy~ S!N really is amazing for doing all these free concerts

2020/02/15, 02/16 un:c Mini Album "cafe de nanairo" Release Event

un:c’s release event at Village Vanguard for his mini album, “cafe de nanairo”! It was a CD signing! He did previous weekends at Nagoya and Osaka, as well. I went to both Tokyo and Saitama events, which were back to back!

✦ To get a ticket, you were advised to phone in and reserve a copy, but I was too worried about my speaking skills on the phone and didn’t do it immediately….. They ended up filling all reservation capacity really quickly, but luckily there was a small amount of stock reserved for the day of the event!
✦ If you bought multiple copies, you could choose to loop back to the end of the line after every signing, but I wasn't sure if it was any better than just doing it all at once? i had kind of assumed if you did it all at once they'd give you a bit more time anyways. On the second day I did both at once

02/15 at Shinjuku Lumine Village Vanguard
✦ I got there at opening and there was already a line LOL a bunch of girls were carrying his tote and got like an entire stack of CDs
✦ I was in the F group, which started at 4:30pm! They led us past the gacha wall where he was sitting, and into the stairwell, where we lined up to wait
✦ You wrote who you wanted the signature to be addressed to on the back of the ticket, and he’d take it and write it down on the inner booklet of the cd!
✦ I didn’t know how it’d go at all or how much time we got so I was super nervous…… It was quiet for a moment as he started signing, and then he commented on my “follow me” t-shirt and i was like “y-yeah!!”
✦ he was wearing a cap, his nice glasses, and his white tour t-shirt from last year! And a mask, which we all had to wear for coronavirus precautions
✦ I brought up his glasses, which he took a picture of before the Nagoya sign event, asking if they were JINS like i thought and that i had spent a long time deciding between those frames and the ones I ended up buying…. i dont know if i said everything properly but i was definitely struggling LOL i should’ve picked a better topic but i was so surprised by his choice when i saw the picture
✦ I said that rounder frames were a little difficult to see through (due to the distortion) so I chose my more square ones and he was like “mm yeah these are hard to see through. (???!?!?!!??!) [pause] yours look easier to see through” and i think i was like “i-is that so” and then the guy called for time so i said “thank you” and ran away LOL afterwards I realised i probably should have told him that i thought they were really stylish though and liked them a lot KLJFDHJKL
✦ I was really happy to see him and talk to him though ahhhhh


02/16 at Plus AEON Laketown Village Vanguard
✦ This store was so big LMAO i’d never been to a Village Vanguard that wasn’t in the Big City so I was pretty surprised
✦ Again, I got there at opening and grabbed two CDs this time! I suddenly asked my friends the night before if they wanted copies because i…. wanted an excuse to see him again……. :^)
✦ The actual place he was sitting was behind a gacha wall again, but within the store where there was even a stage for special talk events or something
✦ He was in a cap/mask and his glasses again, but I didn’t get a look at what he was wearing this time slkfjaslkdf somehow I always miss remembering peoples’ clothes at meetings like this
✦ This time I told him where each of my friends was from, and then delivered a message from chacha! She wanted to tell him to do his best with hashiyan and the others from Balus, and when he heard that was was like “ah!! MZM, right?” I was really happy to hear him say it LOL
✦ He said thank you for the message very seriously
✦ I then told him that I went to XYZ Valentines and had a lot of fun~ I said I especially liked the dance and he DID THE VALENTINE KISS HAND MOTIONS HHHHGGHJDGKH i was so happy to see him do it up close LMSEIKJGH and i automatically tried to imitate him while laughing
✦ This time i don’t remember getting called for time but i had basically said all i could think of so i made to leave and as I did he said “Come see me again, okay?” (また会いに来てね!) while waving and smiling and it surprised me so much but I said “Yes!!” and fled
✦ He was so cute i was still reeling the entire like 15 min walk back to the station and i couldn’t stop thinking of him doing the hand motions SCREAMS
✦ I’m really glad i went twice 0(:3 )~ ('、3_ヽ)_

2020/02/14 XYZ TOUR 2020 -Valentine's Night Ladies Only-

The first performance of XYZ TOUR 2020 -DJ Style-, a ladies only Valentine’s day concert at Zepp Tokyo!! Performers were luz, Araki, Meychan, un:c, nqrse, and Senra!

♥ I had to book it from pretty far away so i got there pretty late, but my ticket was also in the 2000s so I made it just in time for my section to get in~ I opted to line up for the goods because I was really worried they would sell out if i didn’t (i was right) and grabbed un:c and araki’s valentine’s acrylics + the usual shirt and towel~ I really liked the towel this time around! everyone else's acrylics had already sold out but luckily i was only targeting the two i got hhha

un:c's keychain! adorable.......

♥ THEY CAME OUT FOR ALICE IN NY AND STARTED DANCING IN SYNC FOR THE CHORUS WE WERE ALL LOSIN IT
♥ it was very simple moves but they looked so good and it was such a huge surprise omfg
♥ they completely changed up the setlist!! there was a medley near the end with a bunch of older songs though~ some solos became duets and it was a lot of fun to see such a shake-up from the last tour!!
♥ they had music videos up for every song, as the stage background
♥ un:c cut his hairrrrrr it looked so good even from where i was!!!
♥ luz’s hair was (temporarily?) pink again~
♥ meychan sang junky night town orchestra and then left the stage, but there was a quiet moment in the dark that lasted longer than usual, and then we heard him stifling his laughter because he walked back onto stage with senra for a duet LOOOOL….. senra was like "where were you going you still have something to sing!!!"
♥ meychan and luz sang cantarella! i was so surprised when i heard the instrumental start up
♥ luz never flirts with meychan which i find so funny but it's definitely because meychan can't handle it lgmgkglgofl
♥ of course, they also sang boys & girls and yurufa~ i say this every time but senra during the chorus is always A+
♥ luz and un:c sang otome kaibou together!!!! i was so happy…… luz did the nyan nyan part
near the end luz went and like caressed un:c's face and brought their faces so close together……. it's always a great sight to see because he's much taller than un:c so he had to lean down and un:c looks up
♥ after otome kaibou, un:c was left on stage to sing shinu toki wa shineba ii solo! it was an unexpectedly serious song from him, but his cover of it is so good i understand……. he didn't get to move around energetically as much as usual for it, but place of that he sounded SUPER cool
♥ during narumey magnet, the did the same dumb thing they came up with at aranarumey where they walked off to opposites sides of the stage near the end and walked towards each other slowly during the ending instrumentals, while twirling their fingers at each other….. when they met, touched hands, and turned towards us awkwardly, nqrse immediately pushed meychan away and walked off stage LOOL
♥ then, nqrse sang rumour!! i really liked it
♥ he also did ghost with araki (the spotlights on the audience for this was really cool, a bunch of web shapes) and fixer with senra
♥ FANATIC was still the full version!!! another song that's fun as hell
♥ Of the medley, i remember: call boy (senra/araki), fansa (un:c/NQRSE OMFG HE WAS SO CUTE), angel (un:c/araki), venom (un:c/????), platonic girl (un:c/araki), and nounai shaker (senra)
♥ i liked that all the calls were on the screen!! i still couldn't do most of them but at least i could do the end of センラくんのちょっといいこと見てみたい LMAO that song is wildly fun
♥ This time was a popper that let out a bunch of streamers! when he shot it open he paused for a moment to look at it and was like "that wasn't as impressive as i thought it'd be"
♥ senra/meychan/nqrse/araki recollection endroll~
♥ for gigantic otn senra and un:c were dancing wildly as usual
♥ un:c and luz were also doing something really cute with each other to the side… jumping and dancing or something
♥ they all jumped onto the front platform but un:c didn’t make it and i think senra? helped pull him up to stand with them properly
♥ at the end with the click sound they all did finger guns back to back in pairs
♥ luz and un:c’s part during deriheru changed a little! luz went back to get the DJ and led him to the front with an arm thrown around him, then he crouched down to flirt with him as the song started up again and un:c popped up from behind the DJ set with his hand over his mouth in fake shock, running over to embrace luz
♥ i don't know which group song it was, but luz ended up going for meychan and he started screaming for help while holding one arm out to keep him back….. it was so funny cuz it was this giant clad in white towering over a panicked screaming guy
♥ Last was my favourite forever, secret answer~
♥ they kept making fun of luz being cool during the breaks…. in particular i remember nqrse stepping up to the middle platform and going “saikou” like he does at the end of fanatic….. i think someone also imitated his “yoku dekimashita” in secret answer

Encore
♥ they danced for finale as well……… screams………. they even had like formations where they stood really close together during nqrse's rap part it was really neat
♥ un:c and meychan did mafu and soraru's rap section with senra!!!!
♥ luz's Oh baby, I love you! was so cute we all died
♥ When we were going to take a picture, luz pronounced the "r" really hard, so everyone was like "omg he's like a native speaker"
♥ he then turned to the right, saying that there was only one person who could call out the cameraman properly, and meychan (directly beside him) was like "me?!" and luz went "no not meychan, the other guy" and walked past him to araki LOL
♥ Someone was really embarrassed over the dancing during mc and i want to say it was luz but im not sure? they said they thought it'd be something that made us happy so they practised really hard for the past three days~ they really liked the chorus part of valentine kiss……... they kept doing it, especially un:c and araki
♥ They said they didn't know when they'd get to perform it again since it's so specific to Valentines Day, but it's something that would be fun for the audience to follow along with as well, and tried to teach us how to twirl our hand and put a finger to our lips
♥ luz was definitely embarrassed about something at some point and they made fun of him….. cute
♥ meychan danced a bit during mc but really exaggeratedly
♥ senra imitated shoose's slightly lewd dances and luz told him he shouldn’t be doing that LOL
♥ meychan: he walked to the middle of the stage and immediately acted like a crazy person, yelling and throwing up his arms asking for cheers LOL and no one tsukkomi'd him so he turned around like :'(
♥ he said he counted how many songs there were and there were 42 and everyone was like WHOAAAAAAA until “no that was a lie i didn’t count at all”
♥ luz: nqrse stepped out to call for luz since he always calls everyone else, but then he jumped into the kradness imitation again LOL
♥ luz asked if we gave chocolates, then said we should give them lots so please do (i gave chocolates but i don’t even know if they were allowed because by the time i got there there, there were only letters…. granted i got there really late and some people were there since morning for goods so they probably cleared the boxes at least once…..)
♥ he asked if we were having fun and we all cheered wildly!! then he turned to nqrse and asked him and he gave a half-hearted “yeah wheeeee” while half raising his arm LMAO im sure he was having a blast though he’s just Like That and i love him
♥ luz told us that his earring got caught on his shoulder when he was starting FANATIC and he was a bit worried about that, but when the song started he somehow got free!! however….. there were 6 little balls on the earring….. so he asked the others to check how many there were and unc stepped up to peer at it: there were 3 left
♥ they joked that those were life points used up to sing FANATIC
♥ then, someone in the audience shouted that the broken part was still on his shoulder so senra went to check and they were still hanging there!! luz just stopped and turned to look at us as someone on stage laughed wildly
♥ senra: when he stepped up someone (unc?) said there was a streamer in his hair so he and someone else went to brush through his hair but there was nothing there
♥ he talked about his outfit and pointed out the gigantic button-up shirt he was wearing. i didn't really understand what he was getting at (maybe that it's really plain?) but he took off his jacket to make a point and the audience started screaming loool then meychan went "ecchi….!!!!" in the funniest fucking voice i started laughing like mad
♥ nqrse: he talked about his outfit as well: he said imagine cutting open and skinning a fish (?) and that’s what it looked like HAHAH he lifted up his usual black poncho-type thing to show the pink patterned shirt underneath
♥ un:c he said he was the last to speak so he thought a lot about what to say, and there was One Thing he could do and stepped up to the front as the lights faded to a spotlight on him and everyone else went to sit in the back while muttering that He Really Didn't Have To
♥ He talked about Valentine's Day for a bit, and was being really roundabout…. he giggled so much LMAO and luz was like GET ON WITH IT but he said he hadn't done it in so long that he needed some time…. then finally he said "Concerts are…" and got us to shout "VALENTINE'S SEX!!" as lighting had a field day with pink and purple lights + the spotlight
♥ he apologised to any parents in the audience lool
♥ when he returned to his spot, nqrse told him that he really needs to explain exactly why concerts are sex for those who don't know and he was like "oh yeah"
♥ he said something about giving and receiving and exchanging and someone cut him off like "YOU'RE MAKING IT SOUND EVEN WORSE"
♥ mc was the brought back to luz to close, and he talked seriously for a bit but then they got derailed somehow? when they got back to him, he said he'd forgotten what he wanted to say and blamed meychan, who in turned yelled very loudly while pointing at un:c "IT'S THAT SEX OJISAN'S FAULT"
♥ un:c started laughing and was like "pls no" but then said when the day was over he should change his twitter icon from the cute valentines' one to SEX OJISAN and everyone else was like "you'd really better not"
♥ i feel like i never really mention nqrse and araki's talks, but they're usually pretty adult-like….. they usually say things very properly and it makes them feel so mature LOL
♥ the last song, as always, was CocktaiL~ un:c and senra both did the mixing motions even though they weren't next to each other and were very cute
♥ They got together and held hands, bowed and said thank you, then went to the sides of the stage to wave at as many people as possible~ then they got together again and said sayonara as we all laughed
And that was it!! a lovely valentine's day full of surprises~

2020/01/26 Wolpis Carter One-Man "2019 Wolpis Corp. Annual Shareholder Meeting" Additional Performan

Wolpis Carter's one-man concert at Toyosu PIT! This is an additional performance to the one he had in October 2019. Guests were ke-pon, Harumaki Gohan, SILVANA, and Shoko Nakagawa!




✦ the stage was set up the same as last time, but the banner had the changes "written" over them (20[20] and [additional performance])
✦ the songs were mostly the same! the order was shuffled a little, and a few songs were changed or rearranged
✦ To start, The Story of Wolpis Corp. was shown on the screen. We later found out that ke-pon narrated it! It told us of wolpis' birth (something about him letting out a high voice), the company establishment in 2012 when he was 18 years old, his first one-man live, and the most recent one-man!
✦ The story continued on, saying that he had to lower the keys of all the songs for his concert last time, but this time….?
✦ and with the story ending just like that, he came out to sing the first song!! he was wearing a suit but i don't know if it was the same one as last time…. he did a few solos, and then called out his first guest~ he said he doesn't normally like announcing his guests beforehand because it's not really like a one-man that way, but [i forgot his reason for announcing it this time]
✦ the first guest was ke-pon?! we were expecting him to come out last again as the statue LOL he was painted all green but walked onto the stage normally
✦ they sang two songs: inochi no jutsitia and [I STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO READ THE KANJI FOR THIS] Mime
✦ wolpis doesn't ever really interact much with the audience mid-song to get them to cheer or anything, but ke-pon did lots!! yuri canon's song was very fun because of him (i also just really like that song)
✦ wolpis did get us to cheer Once during the concert and was like “this is rare for me (so appreciate it)”
✦ next was silvana! he also wore a suit~ they sang two songs as well
✦ the guest after that was harumaki gohan! they brought a mic out for him, because he was going to play the guitar for his section~ he was wearing normal clothes, so wolpis asked him why he did that even though he wrote notes to wear a suit, and he made an excuse about how you can't play the guitar while wearing a suit, as we all turned to the band members who were Definitely wearing suits LOL then he quietly went "that was a lie"
✦ they sang three songs! this time, it wasn't hachigatsu no rainy, but reunion! the other two songs, 1% and amako, were songs they also sang last time
✦ harumaki has a nice soft voice that suits his songs….. wolpis sang an entire octave higher than him LOL reunion was especially high
✦ wolpis took a lot of drink breaks, so this time he asked harumaki gohan to stall for a bit and he said like one thing and it was clear he really didn’t have much else to say so he turned back to see if wolpis was done yet LOL…..
✦ like every time there was time to talk wolpis would take a drink and then burp directly into the mic
✦ next was a little skit~ they wheeled out ke-pon statue, who was now in a golden bodysuit, and wolpis came out and ended up talking to us a little instead of starting the skit LOL
✦ he called out his employees, and this time around they were dressed a little more casually and he pointed it out LOL….. one guy had blue hair and one had near orange, the drummer wasn't wearing a suit jacket, and the keyboardist was in a patterned chiffon? shirt
✦ he got them to recite the company's code of conduct, which was slightly different this time, but it wasn't good enough to him so he called out the Teacher…… Shoko Nakagawa!!!! she came out in a white jacket/skirt combo and looked super good!! apparently she came from an event and needed to go to ANOTHER event after this concert
✦ she looked at the employee lineup and said it was NO GOOD!!! and made wolpis stand with them too LOL
✦ she trained them and made them imitate a bunch of cute actions with vigor
✦ she yelled at them a lot, then turned to us and asked us why we were just standing there watching?! do it too!!!!! LOL it was so much fun omg and it was great watching wolpis make cute poses
✦ she passed everyone but wolpis and one other guy and said they had to stay for detention…. in detention, they had to shout out the name of their first love LOOOOL they both did it without mics! wolpis was Kaede; i don't remember the other guy's, but they made him say her last name too i laughed SO HARD
✦ he sang a few more solos after the skit, and then called shoko nakagawa out to sing with him!! he burped into the mic but this time the reaction from the audience was slightly different LMAOOO we were like omfg and he was going NO NO NO IT WAS A MISTAKE
✦ they sang a song they wrote together!! her father was a singer, and left behind some lyrics, which she wanted to make a song out of, and it just so happened that wolpis was the one arranged to help make it, which i think is how they met? She says she loves the song so much! The PV for it was shown on the big screen and it was very colourful and nice…… Afterwards, she bowed dogeza to wolpis, saying she’s really grateful for the song, and he freaked out and was like NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING and also disappeared from sight into his own bow back
✦ They also sang sorairo days~
✦ he complained every chance he got that concerts are really rough on him but like he's always able to bring out his voice so clearly no matter how high the note so i don't understand….. he's definitely not lying though he went through so many bottles of honey water and really looked like he was dying LMAOO
✦ someone shouted about kaede during an MC so he started telling us about how they dated in their first year of junior high, broke up in their second year, and got back together in 3rd year…. then she ended up dating a handsome korean dude or something LOL
✦ apparently one of his childhood friends who knew he dated kaede sometimes goes to his concerts, so he was like “i wonder how this is gonna go, i’ll probably get (send?) some messages later”
✦ the last two songs were dramaturgy and the concert commercial song!
✦ there were lots of calls for ke-pon as he sat there as the statue HAHAHA everyone kept telling him he could take a drink if he wanted and no one was watching!! we turned our lightsticks yellow for him in support for a bit
✦ wolpis told us later that his favourite colour is actually a veerry light pink, so we all changed our lightsticks to that, and he was like YES YES THAT and then reached for one from the audience to show everyone as we were all like OMFG
✦ it was kind of tangled with his plushie that the person was holding, but he was able to pull it free~ then he started sniffing it because of our reactions, and ran it back and forth under his arm…… then he headed for ke-pon with it and ke-pon freaked out and was like NO NO NO THEY’LL GET MAD STOP
✦ when everyone but ke-pon left the stage, staff came out to fix something on the platform he was on? people kept calling him LOL he ended up taking a drink and then finally got us to chant for the encore because everyone just kept focusing on him LOL

Encore
✦ for the encore, wolpis came out without his suit jacket! he called out his guests (minus shoko, who i think had left at that point) and they talked for a bit! silvana had changed into casual clothes
✦ Somehow we got on the topic of Disneyland, so he took a vote of who liked sea and who liked land. wolpis and silvana like sea, and harumaki likes land… he said something about there being no alcohol at disneyland, so i guess thats what he prefers! most of the audience preferred disneysea hahaha wolpis was enthusiastically going YEAH WE’RE THE SAME
✦ they also told ke-pon he could get out of the thing he was sitting in and join them
✦ harumaki and silvana kind of went up to ke-pon to help and harumaki kept going amazing…. hes so bright…… but as they talked he was the farthest to the side of the stage and kept moving farther and farther back while holding his left arm, looking scared, which wolpis made sure to point out and laugh at
✦ wolpis got ke-pon to stand on the drum platform and kept trying to point out his crotch until he got yelled at
✦ they all talked a little bit! ke-pon said that last time he was the last secret guest, but he only sang one song, which he thought was kind of a waste so he thought it’d be nice if he could sing more than one this time and seized the first opportunity to do another LOL
✦ silvana mentioned that he does "a little" work for wolpis, and wolpis was like “it’s not ‘a little’ you do QUITE a bit”
✦ wolpis made an announcement here!! He’s going to have a new album in march!! they showed us the tracklist and it was all originals, with many songs written by the people he really likes
✦ we said goodbye to the guests, and then he sang two acoustic arrangements! the last song was blooming in the mud and it was really, really pretty……….
✦ At the end, the band waved goodbye, and then he remained for a bit, but then was like “okay well i’m going too bye” and just left casually LOL
✦ then suddenly!! there was another announcement on-screen!! Wolpis Carter one-man concerts in tokyo and osaka this year!! I was sad to see that the dates are for when i can’t be in Japan anymore, but it’s cool to see him spreading his wings even more and everyone was very excited to hear the news~
✦ they gave us a flyer to apply for the ticket lottery, which i only later realised was a SUPER advance lottery, with the deadline being at 9:30pm that night…… he also gave us calpis water as a goodbye present again LOL

2020/01/25 Transition Fest 03

Transition Fest 03 at Club Citta! Performers were Alfakyun, Ikasan, Glutamine, S!N, Zero, Tsukasashi, Nayugorou, NORISTRY, and Yuuku.

✦ we started a bit late!! apparently there was a bit of trouble with the songs so some songs weren't able to be sung? glutan was the one to mention it
✦ club citta is a pretty small venue, but there's a weird part which sticks down pretty low from the ceiling about halfway through, so there was still video of the stage shown on TVs for the back!
✦ they sang a lot of good rock songs, so we got to do a lot of headbanging!! hello dystopia, platonic girl, ghost rule
✦ s!n sang call boy YEAAHHHHHH he was super cool for all his songs!! and for him specifically, a lot of people turned off their penlights to kind of match his usual rock vibe, i think
✦ he looked so comfy LOL he was wearing a big fluffy snood and a sweater
✦ NORISTRY was so cute waahhh he sang a duet with someone (glutamine…?) and moved and danced so much and was absolutely adorable!!
✦ for just one of his solos, he came out wearing some super cute dangly earrings!! it was totally unexpected but he looked very good
✦ nayugorou sang kokoronashi ;0; she also sang beauty and the beast with zero!
✦ her hair was so cute ahhhh it was braided down and back on one side and looked so fancy omfg i loved it a lot
✦ ikasan got us to sing along to her song~
✦ she dueted mousou kanshou daishou renmei with fakkyun and they got us to sing along to that too~
✦ fakkyun started crying near the end of her first solo song ;0; she turned around so we couldn't see, for the entire end instrumental
✦ it seems she lost a lot of her voice…?
✦ as always she was so funny lol she's such a great talker
✦ she told us they can see the audience on the screen backstage, and said that our oshis can see the ugly faces we make LOL
✦ yuuku was good at getting us to cheer~ he sang a lot of really good songs for it
✦ at the end talk, tsukasashi kept playing with nori's gold chain tiered necklace and they said he looks like he could rap
✦ during zero's talk, sin kept looking at the floor and leaping up at random intervals fsr idk why but it was cute and distracting because he's so tiny
✦ nayugorou kept going arigorouuuu because she had nothing else to say
✦ they left tsukasashi til the end because they said it seemed like he's have something nice to say, then during his talk ikasan and fakkyun kept making hooting noises, then nori and glutamine kept motioning for him to go to the middle….. sin stepped up onto the middle platform instead, so tsukasashi stood behind him and pretended he was a puppet as he talked, grabbing a bit of s!n's sweater and moving it around as he talked
✦ tsukasashi asked who would say the last words (there was no encore?) but no one wanted to step up and do it so there was some awkward shuffling until s!n grabbed someone's mic and screamed ALRIGHT THANK YOU GOODBYE (or something along those lines) at us and i nearly jumped out of my skin
✦ we all had a good laugh over it though LOL…. and so the concert finished ended!!
✦ they sold merch (including polaroids) afterwards but i'm poor so i didn't stick around~

2020/01/19 Gero Birthday Live

Gero's 34th birthday concert at Club Citta! He sang 34 songs!!



✦ The stage was still in the middle, but the arrangement was a little different this year; there was a walkway from the main stage to the middle, which is around where he stood. The drums were in the middle and everyone else was around the outside
✦ he wore the shirt with his cat’s face printed on it, that he got custom-made! the band members all wore the birthday live long-sleeved tee
✦ he did a bunch of originals from the start, an original medley, otome kaibou and ponponpon, a ballad medley, a jpop medley, then beloved survival, udon, shayou, and wagahai wa osu neko dearu!!
✦ for otome kaibou and ponponpon, he said he specially remembered them so he wanted to sing them (?)
✦ he said he recorded ponponpon drunk
✦ when he went overseas to singapore, people were really excited to see him and kept shouting GERO!! GERO!!! and he was wondering what they were singing at him thinking it might be kinyoubi no ohayou but it was actually ponponpon LMAO he was like thats not even my song?!
✦ for the ballad medley, he did the same thing as last year where he ended it with the metal version of love letter loool
✦ for the jpop medley, he apologised to the Youth before starting, saying that the first song was from 20 years ago
✦ afterwards, he asked if there were people that didn't know the song, and someone shouted that they weren't born yet LOL he put on a shocked face and pointed to the gigantic 34 light deco above the main stage
✦ part of the jpop medley were marunouchi sadistic and CHE. R. RY~ two songs i really like…….. he looked so cool singing marunouchi sadistic in particular aaaaahhhhh
✦ the last four songs were so fun omg they're the ones that everyone knows with a lot of movement so you can really get into it
✦ there were so many times where someone in the audience would laugh super loudly into relative quiet (while everyone was calming down from a joke) and he'd turn around and call them out like "someone's laughing real hard for some reason"
✦ his drummer (atsuyuki?) was running WILD today gero introduced him and he started screaming that he wouldn’t make any dirty jokes today, but then gero told him it was okay because this isn’t honeyworks so he just kept going off about penises and looking at hiroki’s and hiroki got angry and called him gross... he said would whip around underwear like a towel at some concert he was performing at?
✦ he was facing away from gero, so he’d turn around and say his crazy things, give a thumbs up and serious face (gero called him handsome), then turn around and scream “OKAY” as though he was getting ready to start the next song
✦ hiroki was so strict on him LMAO he was like “why are you standing, sit down. don’t talk.” and puyo said that every time he turned away from gero around to sit down after talking he’d have a worried face like “did i go too far” LOOOL apparently he’s super quiet backstage but like screamed almost the entire time he talked
✦ there was this one guitar phrase in one of the songs which gero really liked, so he asked puyo to play it again and it became a running thing in some of the songs…. the drummer followed suit
✦ gero wouldn't start singing the intro to the cat song, so Pasta, who kept having to loop the instrumental, started singing it instead and gero's face was amazing
✦ they left the stage by walking back to the main stage, but gero stuck around to make faces (?) at the audience and when he turned around his band had gone off without him and had already almost completely disappeared behind the curtains

2020/01/13 AraNaruMey no Otoshidama♡ ~NaruMey Birthday~

Aranarumey at Zepp Tokyo, with guests luz, un:c, and senra!! This was a special additional performance of their new years’ tour to celebrate nqrse and meychan’s birthdays today!! I talk a tiiiiny bit more about the regular performance setlist etc in yesterday’s notes.

✦ After kami no mani mani, araki wished meychan and nqrse a happy birthday~ nqrse immediately mentioned their twitcast last night where the royal scandal commercial appeared, saying that they intended to sing happy birthday after it turned midnight but as they were searching for it, they heard luz's voice from the tv LOL
✦ they discussed their ages; meychan is turning 24! nqrse said he was turning 25 and i genuinely thought it was a joke but this seems to be true so like, TIL………….
✦ araki mentioned that there’s lots of themes to today’s concert - aranarumey new years’, narumey birthday, and XYZ
✦ meychan’s hair was different from yesterday! one side was tucked behind his ear this time, it looked great
✦ during narumey magnet, they actually did the thing they said they were going to do yesterday, and when they finished they were like “why did we do that”
✦ today when they went to ring the bell, araki said that since they have so many guests, it's possible that nothing will happen this time…. but luz appeared!! he said he was dressed as a god, in white loose clothes. nqrse called him mont blanc because of the design on his right side
✦ they asked luz to ring the bell the second time, and for some reason he got directly behind the torii to swing it from there?? he barely got any sound out of it and araki was like, “amazing, i’ve never seen someone swing so vigorously for so little sound to come out” then nqrse took it from him swished it a little, and the sound was fine LMAO
✦ luz finally got sound out of the bell, and………… un:c appeared on the second floor balcony?! he kept looking down at us and grinning as the others on the stage casually him what he was doing up there and played dumb when they said he should be down there with them… he was wearing his XYZ DJ style outfit from last year
✦ they waited for un:c to join them, then the third ring brought out a wooden box you throw coins in, wheeled out by staff, and senra crawled out of it!! he wore what he wore at Osaka; a neat red and black suit~
✦ when they all lined up, luz said “these members are basically XYZ, and you know what that means……. “ and Alice in NY started up!!! omg the screams
✦ at one part the pairs all lined up back to back but luz like turned his face to senra and took his chin in his hands
✦ they went into Boys & Girls -> Fansa (un:c) -> balleriko (luz) -> yurufa -> senra solo!!
✦ i was super happy to hear the team paripi and team naruse songs……… once team paripi were left on the stage after alice in NY, we all knew what was gonna happen and were so excited!! they talked for a little bit and kind of alluded to what them being on stage meant for the next song
✦ i love fansa so much un:c always looks so cool getting us to headbang and he waves at the audience all cute
✦ he took off his jacket about halfway though :^) also at the end he jumped off from the platform and he went SO HIGH when the others came out later they were telling him he jumped “up to here” while stretching their arms like all the way above their heads LMAO
✦ luz got us to wish narumey a happy birthday in the middle of his song~ he also twirled his mic out of nowhere and looked too cool to exist
✦ after luz’s solo, he said he wanted to ring the bell again to call someone out and we saw nqrse and senra rush behind the set LMAO nqrse was like "you need to tell us beforehand if you're gonna do something like that!!!"
✦ they made fun of him and asked if this was his one-man, then imitated him being all cool during his solo asking us to jump and bring the house down
✦ honestly luz’s face seemed to turn red like every time he had MC with the group today LOL they kept making fun of him and he was really cute……………………...
✦ they pointed out how luz and senra were in such nice clothes and asked nqrse what exactly the theme of his outfit was
✦ they said araki’s was dead flowers
✦ senra’s growls during yurufa were A+ as usual and luz kept swishing his cardigan around and the way he moves…… idk how he does it but he always comes off as so sultry KJGnfjdhgjak
✦ side note for the rest of the show but nqrse does some amazing growls as well thanks
✦ I didn’t know senra’s solo even though everyone else was able to do all the calls perfectly but i do faintly recall seeing the end once, where he goes off stage and grabs two of those long modelling balloons to let go of so they fly off the stage…. this time everyone went onto the stage with him with their balloons in their colours and they all let them off together at the same time for the end!! luz let one of his go super late and someone yelled at him LMAO
✦ for one song with just the aranarumey members they asked us to turn around….? and turn back around when the song started…. i didn't really get the gag but when we all turned around someone on stage exclaimed so loudly "BLACK!!!" because of everyone's hair LOL

Encore
✦ erakute erai really is such a fun song…… meychan and araki were waving their towels wildly as they sang but nqrse Did Not
✦ for today’s calligraphy prompt, they handed it over to luz and he said he and un;c came up with it: “a summary of this year in one kanji"
✦ everyone kind of reacted like ??? ? ? ? ?? ????? this year just started??? and un:c had to step in and be like, no,, what he means is, a kanji to summarize your goal for this year” and then turned to him like, you can’t say it like that it’s too confusing…..
✦araki said that since there’s so many people they have to split the calligraphy into groups!! i thought they were going to do 3 and 3, but for some reason they went by 2’s and I only understood at the end why
✦They got the birthday boys to go first, and meychan looked super unprepared LOL they talked about how it’s nerve wracking to be watched while writing, but that nqrse’s writing is super nice
✦ araki: meychan’s….. well, his has a flavour to it
✦ meychan just stood there panicking without having written anything while nqrse calmly finished his
✦ he ended up writing 食 and said he wants to eat lots of new things this year
✦ next were luz and senra! when luz picked up the ink , everyone was slightly alarmed, but he turned around and was holding the board like a paint pallette and they started laughing…… he also raised his brush from the ink a few times to let it drip back in
✦ he wrote his kanji so quickly violently omfg and his was huge….. he stared at it for a while and then called nqrse over, who took a look and started laughing without saying anything…… luz wanted to confirm the strokes or something because he kept making hand motions and looking confused
✦ when they revealed their writing, we could see that luz wrote 初 but it was like……. missing a stroke and super rough….. araki also pointed out that half of it wasn’t level with the other half……. his signature was also weird it looked like ろす to me but he probably just ran out of ink because no one else pointed it out
✦ senra’s kanji was very very neat and pretty, in contrast
✦ last pair was araki and un:c!! araki very loudly said he doesn’t want anyone to even get a small glimpse of what he was going to write, so he turned the entire board around. they asked un:c if he was going to do the same and after slight deliberation he turned his around as well, so we just watched the backs of two boards with the others making comments occasionally…… meychan tried to look at araki’s and got yelled at so loudly LMAO he didn’t even have the mic
✦ they said they’d reveal theirs at the same time and it turns out they had actually written “happy birthday”!! the keyboardist started playing and we all sang happy birthday to narumey as a gigantic cake was wheeled out!
✦ they gathered around and told us that the cake had their aranarumey illustrations on it, and that it looked super fancy and rich
✦ meychan took one look at it and said it’d be dangerous if someone chose to pick this particular cake up to shove into someone’s face
✦ the two of them futzed around with the cake for a bit but i didn’t really understand what was going on… they were kind of picking at it with spoons but didn’t eat any or anything
✦ araki told them he had something for them and went back to the torii, opening the coin box!! he said lots of things were in there~
✦ he brought out two large village vanguard bags, one for nqrse and one for meychan!! luz followed with his own gifts: it was a gigantic gucci bag, from which he pulled out a smaller gucci bag for nqrse, and a brown bag i couldn’t identify for meychan
✦ they seemed so surprised but happy~ they were told to open them right away on stage, so they started digging though araki’s bag first!! he said there was something pretty funny in meychan’s
✦ nqrse was like “this guy thinks im 8 yrs old” as he brought out like 6 pokemon figures LOL he said he was really happy though!! meychan got a giant plush snorlax face tissue holder, and the two of them also got matching snorlax cookie tins!
✦ luz said he got their shoe sizes previously for this, implying the gifts were shoes, and meychan’s definitely looked like a shoe box but nqse’s was a sleek and flat black box?? it turns out it was a really nice scarf!! luz told him to wear it and he made to put it on the calligraphy stand at first to luz acting kind of panicked HAHA he put it on properly and looked very nice though
✦ meychan’s gift from luz actually was shoes~ someone said all he’d been wearing were crocs recently and he said he really did need new shoes so he was pleased
✦ luz mentioned that he had intended to buy shoes for nqrse too, but as he walked around he ended up getting the scarf instead
✦ nqrse said that he’s starting to receive more and more gucci gifts from fans recently…… damn son
✦ They told meychan to put the shoes on right then so he does, while complaining that no one will get to see them properly from the stage anyways….. when he finally gets them on he steps onto the platform to show them off
✦ nqrse made sure to tell us that they received presents from senra and un:c backstage too!! I don’t remember what senra got nqrse, but they said he got meychan a fucking?? segway and they were playing around with it a little before the show…… you can see in the video they uploaded to twitter but it totally wasn’t what i was imagining what i heard “segway”..... still though it looks expensive omfg
✦ un:c got them…?? cotton candy?? they said something about making it backstage so idk
✦ nqrse then said he and meychan had something to tell everyone else, and i saw the keyboardist duck back over to the keyboard! the happy birthday instrumentals started up again, and the two of them sang “thank you everyone” to the tune of happy birthday, and another cake was wheeled out! it was tiny and apparently in the shape of a cat….. luz looked at it and asked if it was naruse’s image cat but it was just some random cat lmao
✦ apparently that morning the two of them had went to look at cakes because they figured there’d be cake for them and wanted to get one for everyone else as well!! so he said the big one would be for the two of them and everyone else can eat the tiny one
✦ luz picked up the smaller cake to hold for the picture but everyone in the audience made very concerned sounds at him LMAO they told us it’d be fine though
✦ when they finished, they were about to wheel the big cake away but someone in the audience shouted, asking if they weren’t gonna eat any? so nqrse swiftly fed meychan to lots of screams, scooped up some for himself, and then started wheeling it away
✦ meychan chased after him, scrambling to pick up a fork, so he slowed down a bit and let him feed him~ he looked so cute turning around and chomping on the cake!! everyone screamed a lot, then meychan turned around to look at us before disappearing and put that same spoon, that he just fed nqrse with, in his mouth smfh
✦ nqrse talked about how they didn’t have a birthday event last year, so araki said by all means they should do one again next time!!
✦ they mentioned how this was senra’s second performance and how it’s nearly become aranarumeysen
✦ they finished with shake it!! again, as a group! i was able to grab some streamers this time~
✦ everyone stayed to bow this time!! they did the peko peko pan pan pekori~na at each side of the stage
✦ luz did his usual of blowing kisses and waving flirtily at the audience :^)

2020/01/12 AraNaruMey no Otoshidama♡ Tokyo

Araki, nqrse, and meychan’s new year’s concert at Zepp Tokyo!! The guest was Amatsuki~ The new years’ theme was really cute!!

✦ if you buy 8000yen or more of merch you get to do a high five event with aranarumey after the concert!! so the merch lineup was kind of insane LMAO i got there at the 11am opening and waited uhhhh 3 hours….. and the charms i wanted were already sold out :') it's okay though because i still got some very cute items!!
✦ they handed us a gift going into the venue! a fortune and a badge~
✦ the set on stage was so cute!! food stalls, but the words on it were the band instruments. in the middle was a torii with a bell
✦ I was pretty far in the back, so it was a little difficult to see what was going on sometimes

✦ the three of them came out and sang some songs, both solos and in groups!
✦ first song was kami no mani mani!! a great way to start off a new years' concert~
✦ i distinctly remember meychan's limelight and aranaru roki, but there were a lot of songs i knew and actually a bunch i just heard performed yesterday at nori's one-man LMAO
✦ araki's hair is still SO PINK
✦ meychan said that his computer? phone? couldn't recognise his face after makeup LMAO
✦ araki’s venom was GREAT at the very end he said “MEH!!!” before running off stage
✦ narumey magnet!! after it ended, nqrse was like, "we need to do something for the ending instrumentals…." (because it's quite long) so someone told them to twirl their fingers at each other
✦ nqrse seriously considered it, so they got the band members to replay the end and did it while approaching each other from opposite sides of the stage…. at the end, their hands met and they awkwardly turned to look at us for the finish LOL nqrse was like deadpan "yes this is good let's do this the next time"
✦ they asked if we went to visit the shrines yet, and when so many people raised their hands for "no" they shouted that we were definitely lying LOL
✦ they got us to bow and pray? it was specifically a bow, bow, clap, clap, and lo~ng bow. they then rang the bell but either meychan or araki messed up the first time and they had to redo it
✦ when they finally did it properly, amatsuki appeared in the middle!! they said it was amazing because this is the first time the guest matched outfits with the rest of them…. they recalled how miko gero was terrible and called senra a bartender (he was in a really nice red suit in osaka)
✦ someone said amatsuki was still in the middle of his one-man tour so he must be really busy, and thanked him for coming
✦ amatsuki + araki marionette lovers!! amatsuki said it was an unexpected request but he's very happy he was asked to sing it!! they did the hand motions, which araki practised a lot, apparently. amatsuki did those breathing noises at the beginning
✦ THIS NIGHT AHHHHHHHH they were very cool!! nqrse also did the marionette lovers motions because he wanted to
✦ amatsuki's solo was chiisana koi no uta!! he was super cute and got us to sing a lot of it…. he also crouched all the way down and watched us with a smile as we were singing it was cute
✦ he's such a cute and cheerful performer, i enjoyed watching him~
✦ they did a few more songs after amatsuki left! aranaru did Will O Wisp and were super cool….
✦ araki's hibana was also so fun!!
✦ the last song was recollection endroll! all three of them jumped onto the platforms at the end~ just like the way they normally do it
✦ someone called meychan an okinawan fish because of his light blue and pink outfit
✦ someone said they skipped their coming of age ceremony (which was today) to do the concert LOL i think it was amatsuki

Encore
✦ They came back to the stage to sing erakute erai!they got us to wave our penlights/towels~ it's such a cute and cheerful song
✦ I don't know what it's called, but they wrote out calligraphy to a prompt! today's was "something you wish you could erase from the past year"
✦ nqrse took the longest and people kept pressuring him to finish LOL he messed up one of the hiragana
✦ amatsuki: "Airpods" (in english); during one of the XYZ performances, he went out onto the stage to start singing, but his ear monitors weren't working!! it turns out he never out them on and was actually wearing his airpods
✦ meychan: "koebu"; i didn't really understand his story that much but it's an app of some sort? and it closed down, but he still had money in it….?
✦ araki: "unagi (eel) pie"; this is like some sort of long biscuit made of pie pastry. i'm not sure what it has to do with regrets but until last year he assumed it was eel flavoured and thought that was really weird….. then nqrse was like "what?? it doesn't taste like eel?? to which the audience was like "eeeeh…???"
✦ nqrse: "ate too much rice"; he says he loves rice too much so he eats a lot and gains too much weight during winter. During the summer, he tends to eat noodles, and he only eats about a hamsters' worth, so he loses weight.
✦ they also get the band members to share their stories! araki lent them his mic. like half of them are drunken ones and you could still hear araki acting scandalised all the way from where i was
✦ one of them was a story about how one of them got really drunk, meychan handed him some grass, and he ate the grass, to which there was immediately a roar from someone of "ISN'T MEYCHAN THE BAD ONE HERE"
✦ we all take pictures to nqrse? saying "akeome~"
✦ to close, everyone sang shake it!! together!
✦ streamers were shot out in the middle of the song!! people were still scrambling to pick them up as they started MC so nqrse lectured us like "hey now, hey, i know you love streamers but which do you like more, the streamers or us???"
✦ amatsuki left the stage, and the rest of them took their time to say their goodbyes to us, visiting the sides and getting everyone to bow and pray again
✦ luz came up somehow, so araki stepped onto the middle platform and imitated him, then they made meychan do it but he clearly wasn't sure what he was meant to do and kept turning back to confirm with the other two LOL
✦ he did luz's call and answer part from secret answer「良く出来ました♡」and was his usual slightly awkward self about it but i think he did it quite well LMAO i still laughed though

Hi Fives
✦ lots of people stayed for high fives!! they kept us in the hall, and as we exited we passed by the table where aranarumey were planted
✦ nqrse was first~ he was so cute and gentle and he had some really flashy pink eye makeup going on omg he was so sparkly
✦ meychan seemed so tall……. he was very pretty i was kind of thrown off….. perhaps its the Youth
✦ araki was so loud and cheerful omfg i couldn't help but start laughing when i got to him… he was kind of bent down a little as well, to more or less match eye level with attendees
✦ i don't remember what any of them said LMAO probably "thank you" but it went by so fast


some flower stands i caught before leaving zepp!

2020/01/11 NORISTRY One-Man Live - SINGER -

NORISTRY’s one-man performance in Yokohama!

✦ this was a really new venue!! Bigger than the last place he used, and had a small raised viewing area. There was also a higher viewing area, where a lot of his guests were!! people kept looking up there before the performance started to try to identify attendees lol…. it looked like ikasan might have been there
✦ restaurant ambience noises was played while we waited
✦ as usual, he had the ska band with him!!! he did a lot of jazz arrangements of songs and it was all so good omfg
✦ There were spotlight projections onto the ceiling in like flower and star shapes it was really cute….. in the back was a massive screen, on which they put nice backgrounds to match each song! it was really pretty
✦ he was in a full suit outfit and looked super good and neat…. it got pretty hot at the venue though so he took the jacket off about halfway through
✦ he started with call boy AHHHHHH i've wanted to hear his sing it live since he uploaded it so i was super pleased
✦ he sang a lot of songs i knew!! hit you with this piano, calc, shoujo rei, rain stops goodbye, jazz arranges of nonsense bungaku and fixer
✦ he sang his originals too!! he was so cute during them!!! especially for sing, which was near the end! he sang very loosely for that song and seemed so cute and happy and relaxed
✦ he told us he likes napolimen a lot because they remind him of when he used to mess around with his friends as a student so he sang a jazz arrangement of one of their songs!! it was really good
✦ he talked about how he generally sings for himself, and that's what he's been doing for the past few years, but as he's been doing performances and seeing how people smile (or CRY) from his singing, he's started to sing a little for other people as well
✦ he said he really loves weddings, and some listeners have said they wanted him to sing at their weddings, but he said it was impossible LOL we were like ehhhhh……. (he said we don't know his address) he said the next song is for all of our future weddings
✦ he also sang pretender after that~

Encore
✦ when he left the stage, the announcement video for his next one-man started playing!! we were all so surprised! then, he came out again and was like….. uh…….. well that wasn't supposed to play yet LOL
✦ so we didn't even get to cheer for the encore LMAO he called out the band members to join him and we took the group photos!
✦ he said that his mom came to see him today, and she's basically the reason he started singing at all, because whenever he did he'd see her smile proudly and thought, "wow, so singing can make people smile"
✦ he sang a ballad for her and made everyone cry…………………..
✦ finally, he sang one more song for his aunt, who passed away….? there was a really pretty falling snow-like background behind him
✦ when i left the venue nero was standing at the corner next to the door?! i had to double take and whipped my head around at him LMAO it seemed he was waiting for someone else…. while i was getting my drink afterwards he made his way through the crowd to a few surprised faces while nodding at us and disappeared through the staff doors

HE WAS SO CUTE THE ENTIRE TIME and his vocals were amazing as usual….. he really reaches your soul I LOVE HIM ;-;

2020/01/05 Underbar 10th Anniversary "UNDER THE LIVE 2020 ~Dabalantis~"

Underbar’s 10th Anniversary Live! Guests were Alfakayun, Nano, nero, NORISTRY, and Takagi Tomoya! Most of the songs performed were released in his 10th anniversary album

✦ All his staff at the venue were wearing his masks~ Some were in ties as well
✦ Underbar did the first pre-performance announcements! He messed up here and there and was SO CUTE there’d be giggling every time
✦ The second time, right before the show started, was someone else who was very calm. I don’t know if it was Takagi or not?
✦ It was more like a musical play than a concert? We were in like, theatre chairs, and curtains covered the stage. it opened to reveal a kind of latin american? style pyramid set
✦ It was a bit difficult for me to understand, but the gist of it seemed to be that Underbar and his assistant, Takagi Tomoya, had found some new land and he decided to name it Dabalantis? NORISTRY seemed to be playing some kind of villain role as a leader or something. Nano was a queen? Alfakyun and nero were childhood friends/lovers who lived on the land (which was a really amusing concept to me). They decided to join underbar, and the land somehow got destroyed? They sang the songs from his new album
✦ As usual, underbar had many backup dancers/characters in his show, all wearing wigs and masks
✦ Underbar was in his usual purple outfit! Takagi was matching him, but in slightly less flashy clothes.
✦ At the end when underbar made his comeback, he was wearing this gold cape as well…. he leapt up from a platform at the higher stage and surprised the heck out of me
✦ fakkyun and nero were in loose ancient greek-looking clothes, and masks! fakkyun looked like the purest princess omg….. THey had a romantic duet together
✦ nori was in all black and his song was really cool?? he kept laughing evilly but i really didn’t understand what was going on i’m sorry
✦ nano and underbar sang a duet as well! takagi was separated from ansan because he had to go greet her alone. It seemed to be some kind of agreement between leaders. Nano left by calling underbar “an-kun” and he was like WH WH WHAT?!?!?
✦ there were so many screams for nano when she came out omg! everyone was happy to see her there
✦ underbar and takagi sang together a few times, it hink? Takagi was actually on stage so much!! He did the MC portions, and as Underbar’s assistant he was on stage almost as much as Underbar was. I was really surprised by how much of a role he had and how many lines he did, but I guess it makes sense!!
✦ it was really crazy to see him in general ;-;!! It felt like he grew up so much while i wasn’t looking….. He laughed a lot during the “off” parts :)
✦ Takagi was also the one to introduce merch during the single MC break in the show!
✦ The dancers would give him items like the towel and encourage him to use them, then take it away and one of them would pretend to auction it off at a high price
✦ They put the windbreaker over his shoulders because it wouldn’t fit over his outfit, then she took it and started sniffing it and he turned to one of the others like, “this person is so alarming??”
✦ They all individually came out at the end to take a bow, each doing their own little thing, but fakyun did something to make me scream extra loud LOL she was super cute!!
✦ When the curtains were closing, NORISTRY would crouch lower and lower to match the falling curtains, so he could wave at us until they fully closed HE’S SO CUTE

Encore
✦ Finally, undebar got to talk to us normally for the first time that day!! He was adorable….. We congratulated him on his 10th anniversary, and then he told us that he was doing to sing a song that he could only sing today!
✦ It was Unhappy Refrain with Nano, freedom version!! aaaaaaaaa She came out in that red hoodie and kitsune mask with the N on it, over his Anniversary T-shirt. Everyone’s penlights turned to pink and green! She looked just like her illustration in the video…. It was so unreal to hear them sing it live, and it looked like they were having so much fun!
✦ They talked a bit afterwards, and she said she had something to tell him: “Please marry m-- I mean, happy 10th anniversary!!” we all screamed so loudly LMAO
✦ When she was leaving the stage, underbar said a little bit of english and she turned around and finger guns’d him, going “yeah, that’s right!!” (in english)
✦ He sang his freedom Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee, which was as fun as always, and then did one more solo song which all the performers joined in on near the end!! everyone had changed out of their costumes,a nd it really looked like they were having fun on stage. fakkyun milled about quite a bit, and i saw Takagi laughing for some reason and holding onto nero for support
✦ Underbar’s audience is really so much fun to be in….. they all love him so much!!

2019/12/14 Hanapoko Tour 2019 Finale

I went to HanaPoko's final tour day at Chiba, featuring guests ASK and Kakochico!! Even though they were guests, they had a LOT of songs to sing! It was a wild night with lots of tsukkomi-ing

✦ ASK’s tengaku started playing as bgm right before the start of the performance, so i was kind of “hmmm??” at it, but it went into one more song before they came out. they talked about this later during MC and recalled last year’s performance in Nagoya where ASK was a secret guest but also the opening act…. they also reenacted hanatan breaking her shoe, for kakichoco’s fans who might not have known about that story
✦ hanatan and pokota came out singing a duet, then ask came out halfway and people screamed so much at him!! then kakichoco came out as well~
✦ pokota rushed into the next song after the intros, called for music, and said that if he lets hanatan talk it'll go on forever and they have a lot of songs to get through :’) she beams at him as the music starts
✦ they often missed title calls half the time and then blurt it out as the instrumental for the song starts
✦ hanatan and pokota were in really fancy matching white outfits!! it looks so close to wedding clothes, but they have clock patterns all over it. pokota was in a tuxedo and hanatan had a sparkly tiara and long white gloves. they were sooo cute
✦ ask and kakichoco were also matching, but i don't know if it was planned or not? ask was in his new t-shirt and usual jacket, with the neck tattoo. kakichoco was in red and black as well, and was wearing a super cute clip-on hat. she said she wore it because she was looking for something fancy enough to match hanatan
✦ hanatan talked about kaki’s outfit later! she said the red dress was really cute before she put on the belt, so kaki went “so it’s not cute like this?!” and made to take it off LOL
✦ hanatan might have been dressed super cute but apparently the entire time before the show she was wandering around backstage without her skirt on, because it’s hard to take off if she needed to go to the washroom
✦ ask gets onto the middle platform to demonstrate something, then gets off, but pokota pauses for a minute and asks him to get back on. he stands below right in front of him and his head is exactly at ask's crotch height
✦ ASK/pokota SPICE! pokota motioned for him to get on the platform and he was kind of surprised but did it, then pokota joined him and they pretended to flirt with pokota putting his face right in asks’s…. then he got in front of him and ask embraced him from behind and they kind of stood like that awkwardly, still singing, until ASK started rubbing his chest and then pokota reached over and fully grabbed ASK’s crotch i laughed so fucking hard
✦ spice was followed by hanatan and kakichoco’s Magnet!!!
✦ hanatan was so fucking good during cendrillion
✦ KAKICHOCO SANG KOSHITANTAN I SCREAMED
✦ ASK Fixer………………….. thank you……………..
✦ I don’t remember exactly what it was about, but hanatan kept doing the “ok” hand sign when talking to pokota (which has a similar meaning to crossing your hands behind your back?) and then they danced like that??
✦ they sang do re mi fa rondo as a group and made fun of pokota the entire time….. hanatan was enjoying it so much that she forgot to sing one of her parts
✦ “pokota-san no rondo, pokota-san no rondo, pokota-san no rondo”
✦ pokota also danced with the “ok” sign during the chorus, while the other three put their hands together in a “thank you” gesture and bowed at him along with the beat???
✦ ask mentioned the cd he's releasing and said it's his first solo in 8 years!! he told us about the other cds and who made them with him and was like "this new guy, he's only been around for about a year, and he’s an engineer, but somehow he sang half the songs on our fuyucomi cd"
✦ pokota and hanatan turned to kakichoco and started telling her about how this yumamiya got so popular so quickly, even though he’s only been around for a year or so… i’m not sure kakichoco is aware of him…..???
✦ pokota: does yumamiya show his face?
ask: no
pokota: wow thats weird because during this year's chang gero sonic even though that guy didn’t have an appearance he was getting makeup done backstage
✦ ASK asked hanatan what her plans for fuyucomi was and she was like uheehhhehe and we couldn’t get any further information
✦ they talked about hanatan’s performances in china, and how for those ones, they started very early in the day and then she’d do talking and handshakes? until late into the night……. pokota taught her “da jia kai xing ma?” and she said that whenever she encountered a listener that didn’t know any japanese, she’d say it to them and they’d brighten up so much!!!
✦ ASK was wearing a red eyeglasses pin, and he talked about it a little! apparently kaito had bought a set of them at miyazaki, and when ASK was like, “those are nice”, he just handed him one
✦ they talked a little bit about kaito! pokota wondered (kind of rhetorically?) what he was up to and ask immediately supplied that he was currently in Osaka for an event! to which pokota was like “you’re more well-informed on him than i was expecting?!”
✦ ASK sang one of pokota’s original solos while everyone was still on stage!! he kept holding the mic out to the audience to sing, but afterwards pokota yelled at him like YOUR FANS DON’T KNOW MY SONG WELL ENOUGH TO SING IT WHAT WERE YOU DOING
✦ he did say that ask was really amazing to remember all the lyrics, and that mmi-chan STILL can’t remember the lyrics LOL even though he’s always earliest to rehearsal
✦ hanatan and kakichoco told us about how they went out to have shabushabu with che:sakurai recently and kakichoco told her about how crazy it was that she was going to sing so many songs at today’s live…. hanatan offhandedly lied and said it’s pokota’s fault and continued munching on meat
✦ ask and hanatan when they used to hang out together
✦ hanapoko gemini!!! hanatan said it was KINDA Christmas-y so she put it in…. i really liked hearing pokota’s rap part
✦ pokota/kakichoco sukikirai~ an unexpected pair!!
✦ they kept suggesting that ASK make a setlist for them next time, and this turned into ASK making a setlist for hanapoko with guest kakichoco, but kakichoco gets 20 songs (kaki: ISN’T THAT A ONE-MAN???)
✦ ASK was telling us that sometimes when he messages hanatan, he uses her real name, so pokota was like “oh? what name is that?? :^)” and they all had to stop to Look at him for a moment
✦ meanwhile hanatan forgets ASK’s real name constantly
✦ pokota told us he still has 6 more concerts before the end of the year!! and two were free!! ASK was so shocked, but hanatan told everyone “it’s okay, it’s because this ojisan is rich (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)”

Encore
✦ they came out immediately after leaving the stage saying "thanks for the encore!!!!!!!"
✦ hanatan left again pretty soon though, because the next song was !!! ask/pokota/kaki imitation black!!! kakichoco’s low voice was GREAT for the pause she said “minnasan daisuki da yo~”
✦ madness of duke venomania was all four of them!! the two girls were supposed to be facing backwards at the start but i guess kaki forgot and pokota had to direct her lmao
✦ they also sang Senbonzakura and Black Rock Shooter! I was a really fun way to end the concert

2019/12/31 C97 Fuyucomi

I went to the last day of C97 Winter Comiket! I went to see AsEver (ASK, Aomofu, Yumamiya, Kyi), Atelier Malletto (Asamaru, Jack, Yumamiya, Tourai, Keito, Tama, and the rest of asamack family), un:c and Araki, and NORISTRY! I also went to pick up some things for a friend at Hydamio and Naryo’s tables.

✦ We got to West Hall 4 at around 10:30? and went straight to AsEver’s table, who were already pretty busy! yumami and aomofu were running the front of the table, while ASK was in the back handling the actual goods! He was still efficient as always….. He looked like a blur LMAO
✦ nobita from At. Malletto was managing their line, wearing both ask’s t-shirt and the at.mal hoodie~ AsEver and at.mal were right next to each other, sharing a table, so it was a really neat setup!
✦ asamaru was nearby managing at.mal’s line for some reason?! other staff were handling the table, and one was the really pretty lady i saw at their event from last time
✦ I ended up in aomofu’s line! i had a LOT of stuff to get omg and I almost forgot to hand them Linn’s letters…… I told them they were from my friend in Singapore and aomofu was like Oh!! and probably knew immediately who i was talking about LOL…. I feel like I also heard ASK exclaim in reaction in the background
✦ Aomofu had red streaks in her hair and was wearing a hat~ ASK was also wearing his blue hat, and both of them were in quite light-coloured clothes? I don’t remember what yumamiya was wearing at all…………….. I want to say it was the white and black (?) striped t-shirt he wore to CGS but I really don’t remember because my brain was rushing like hell

✦ Then, I picked up the full sets from At.Malletto!! asamaru was so far from the actual line for some reason (their line hadn’t picked up yet at this time) so i went to him to confirm and he was really cute LOL he was also in the at.mal hoodie~
✦ The coasters are absolute GORGEOUS they’re porcelain and the illustrations are so delicately pretty!!! It didn’t occur to me at the time but i really should have gotten more than one set of them for myself ;o;
✦ Tourai wasn’t there when I went, but apparently he was there for a bit in the afternoon!

✦ Next stop was un:c and araki! araki’s hair was SO dark PINK he was basically glowing??? their table was very easy to find because of him. he and unc were both wearing caps, and i think black t-shirts? Their line was also pretty short and i ended up on unc’s side of the line~
I had been so rushed I had totally forgotten to ask for a handshake from anyone i saw, but I got to blurt out a “have a happy new year!!” to un:c and he smiled big (even through his mask) and said it back to me!! floats away
✦ it totally didn’t register in my mind until way later when i got to sit down and reflect on my meetings but un:c was in glasses………… We ended up going back into the hall to walk by them again so I could confirm it and he really was so i had like a mini-breakdown as hisame egged me on even further o|-<

✦ I actually wanted to check out glutamine’s table because he was so cute last time but i totally forgot in the scramble…. he was right next to un:c’s table though apparently

✦ My trip to NORISTRY’s table was really really quick…. he was in a t-shirt as well! There was only one person in front of me and I only needed the CD
✦ his CD was a weird price so i had to fish for coins for a bit in a panic but they thanked me for giving exact change so it was probably alright LOL
✦ I think I totally could have talked to him but I hadn’t thought of anything beforehand and i was still in RUSH MODE

✦ At Hydamio’s table, the line was a little confusing but I ended up getting to him pretty quickly as well! he was actually standing to the side, so there was no table between him and the customers? He like immediately recognised that I was a foreigner somehow, so I told him, yes, i was, and he was so excited LOL he kept trying to speak English to me!!
✦ I handed him linn’s letter, and told him it was from my friend Linn from Singapore. He was like oh!!! and said something about English? I think it might have been about her being a translator lol
✦ I had a shopping list that I was referring to and he made to like take it from me to help but I still wasn’t really thinking so I just quickly listed out everything to him. When I said I wanted a postcard he seemed a little surprised and happy?? He said to say thank you to my friend. When he handed me everything he said thank you in english to me like 5 times it was very cute LOL

✦ I also went to naryo and victream’s table and got the wrong CD for linn LMAO……….. It was also a very quick visit so I don’t remember much here either
✦ We also went to check out Royal Scandal’s table at the J line but they weren’t selling what hisame was looking for so we ended up not lining up….
✦ We retreated outside so i could organise and pack the crazy amount of shit i bought, then went back in to take a look at everyone again from afar HAHAHA…….. the lines for everyone were really starting to build…. un:c and araki’s line had to be cut in half and put somewhere else
✦ When we returned outside to meet Yuu, we noticed just how many AsEver fans were gathered around the area LOL it seemed like a mini fanmeet
✦ We ended up having to make a loop back through the hall to exit Big Sight, so Yuu went back to get things from AsEver! Their line seemed to have calmed down a lot, and aomofu was probably on a washroom break because ASK was helping out at the front
✦ I considered lining up for un:c’s table again because shut up……... i even went to the back of the line but I really didn’t have anything else to get….. we also had karaoke reservations to get to, so I decided against it and we left~

2019/12/31 New Year's Countdown 2019 ~otoshidama dai koukankai~

I went to a New Year’s countdown concert! Performers were Kony, clear, Ikasan, NORISTRY, and Megatera Zero! Secret guests were Irie Ryo, Utamaro, Izu, Tsukasashi, and Shack! Iincho also joined in at the end~

✦ This was a free live, but with a drink fee! They gave us envelopes when we entered, which we put money in when the concert ended and returned as otoshidama to them!
✦ the stage opened with kony and megatera zero! megatera had his hair done really nicely, with one side pulled back. He was also wearing a red kimono! He looked really good and his fans were freaking out lmao. He said it didn’t suit him at all but i thought he looked great??
✦ kony’s hair is like a purple-brown!! i guess he got it cut? it looks really nice hes so pretty
✦ Kony said he’ll count down to his limit and they’ll need to bring a stool out for him to sit on
✦ they called out the “ikemen” and ikasan came out! I think her outfit really suited her… She was in like a silver cardigan
✦ the three of them talked for a bit, then all the main performers sang one solo!
✦ nori’s outfit was SO CUTE it was a loose black and white striped shirt but it was so big on him!!! he had moe sleeves it was so cute
✦ He sang proto disco!
✦ clear sang queen of heart~ i”m super happy to get to hear that in person
✦ megatera came back out in his normal clothes and hair HAHA
✦ after the solos, everyone came out together to talk!
✦ in the next part, everyone sang two songs each!
✦ ikasan came out first and was told she could talk about anything but she didn’t think about what to say at all LOL
✦ She did say she likes sweet drinks, and when someone asked “what about beer?” she was like, “Ah beer, that’s one flavour I don’t quite yet understand” [bittersweet smile]
✦ She sang a song i didn’t know, but nori’s fans in the front row were over the moon with delight when she announced the title, and even brought out the super-bright glowsticks for the chorus!
✦ next was NORISTRY! He said he had thought of what to say for MC, but ikasan already said it LOL
✦ he put a blue jacket on over his shirt~
✦ He ended up asking if anyone went for comiket (which he was also at, all day...) and a bunch of people raised their hands! he was surprised at the amount, and asked if anyone was selling (there were a handful)
✦ He also asked for who didn’t have new years holidays and was like “ah…… we’re nakama”
✦ someone called him cute and he chuckled and said “but i’m an ossan you know”
✦ then he said he’s turning 20 this year (again) and people congratulated him LMAO
✦ he sang Hit You With This Piano 8759632145 Times first and it was really fun as usual!! the glowsticks were brought out again, as expected
✦ He said the next song was one he loves a lot~ a ballad version of shoujo rei! He called it a version that suits winter
✦ THIS WAS SO AMAZING I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE HOW GOOD HE WAS??
✦ I’ve heard him sing it so many times but this time was really, really incredible. His voice and volume control matched the tension in the song perfectly and he had the audience absolutely captivated………. i was completely frozen in place??? by the end i saw so many people in front of me crying, and I myself was shaking LMAO i’ve never had that happen before and i really couldn’t believe what i just witnessed
✦ when he finished, we were expected to immediately recover from that amazing performance as kony stepped on stage and they sang A Whole New World together with kony acting as jasmine??????
✦ after that the audience kept calling him jasmine
✦ nori kneeled for kony and kony gave him his hand, but when he took it kony started laughing and forgot the lyrics LOL
✦ kony’s voice is so LOUD i could hear it over the speakers?? omg
✦ next was a collab with kony and clear!! clear brought out his phone and said nero was on it, so kony asked him if he was ok and we got a “nnope” (he was supposed to be a performer today but got the flu ;-;)
✦ He asked more questions and it became clear that it was actually just a bunch of recordings that clear was controlling LMAO
✦ they sang mr music~ it was kind of a jazzy version, which fit them really well~

 
✦ as we got closer to midnight, megatera and kony came out to talk, and kony said his friend that loves alcohol was here and was going to sing a song before it became the new year!
✦ it was irie ryo loool followed by utamaro, who was carrying a guitar! Irie was already acting drunk as hell
✦ then, they said that there was one guy who said he was quitting this year, and izu came out?! I was so surprised to see him! he said that he retired this year, but when he got the call from megatera, he had no choice but to come!!
✦ he was in an oversized hoodie and looked super cute
✦ they sang a song with utamaro on acoustic guitar!
✦ The rest of the group joined the stage to sing Butterfly! We all sang along, and megatera jumped off the stage and put his mic into the front of the audience for them to sing?! then, he even embraced one of the guys in front and pushed the mic deeper into the crowd!!! what a dude
✦ at some point, tsukasashi, shack, and iinchou appeared? iinchou appeared really late and without much announcement, and he didn’t have a song to sing, but he was there for the group songs!
✦ tsukasashi has such a big personality LMAO while he yelled at the audience some of the others were like “is this a one-man?!”
✦ kony brought out four bottles of champagne for the countdown~ nori and clear both had bottles, but nori seemed to have no idea how to open it! while there was chatting and cheering going on, clear taught him how to do it ;v;
✦ there was a small commotion amongst megatera, shack, and some others in the back corner of the stage over one of the bottles of champagne while clear talked, then ikasan walked over to them and took a huge swig?! people yelled
✦ from the countdown, we went straight into senbonzakura!! it was so much fun!!! There was a lot of mic sharing, and a lot of them were arm in arm~ megatera chugged so much champagne and clear sang the solo part!
✦ the other group songs were charles and deriheru yondara kimi ga kita! it was such a blast and everyone on stage looked like they were having so much fun!!!!
✦ megatera was really running the show….. he was passing the mic to people, throwing his arms around people to sing, getting the audience engaged and cheering, and just creating such a great atmosphere in general!
✦ izu sang a lot?! he had hold of a mic for most of the time i saw him!
✦ nori and kony were doing such a cute dance together
✦ when we took the group picture, megatera joked that he wanted to cover his face and kony yelled at him saying LIKE HELL his face is always out there LMAO
✦ and that was it!! we said goodbye to them, and I was wondering if there was going to be an encore, but we were already 15 minutes over time? we saw nori wave at us from the guests’ viewing area, so i figured it was over and i put my otoshidama in the box and made my way home~

 
It was an absolute blast of a concert and the guests were such a pleasant surprise! It was a fantastic way to end the new year~

2019/12/27 Royal Scandal Wonder Tour 2019 "Queen&Alice" Tokyo

I went to Royal Scandal’s Tokyo nighttime performance! luz on vocal, Kanon69 on keyboard, and a rahwia plushie accompanying them on stage~

I really love the goods, the theme is so cute!!

Earlier tickets come with the red ringlight. If you spend more than 3000yen on merch, you get the mask! Some of us used it when taking the picture at the end

♥ The set was really neat!! Red and white roses decorating the platforms, clocks on the back wall, and pillars
♥ rahwia's plushie was placed nearby kanon's keyboard
♥ the MVs were shown on the big screen
♥ they got a seiyuu to narrate! they said that it's a nice deep voice suited to alice in wonderland, and that if they were the ones to do it there'd be too much fangirling for anyone to pay attention to what they were saying anyways
♥ each character was introduced, one by one before their songs
♥ the voice said that the three magicians (luz/kanon/rahwia) have a princess who is very special to them, but need to find her name?
♥ (chelsea's name was covered in crackling sounds every time she was announced in relation to anyone else, until the song Chelsea)
♥ Kanon mostly played the keyboard, but sang some parts in some of the beginning songs as well! he also had one solo
♥ kanon's outfit was so cute LOL he kept flipping up the skirt/mesh thing in a puff when sitting down and looked so flashy doing it
♥ they change outfits once!! they were a little looser but still very fancy. i really liked luz's
♥ luz sang a song i never heard but it was pretty hot….. he kept feeling up the mic stand

Encore
♥ When they returned to the stage, they sang first lady!
♥ then, it was time to talk for the first time! and luz immediately started out by calling this XYZ instead of Royal Scandal LOL RIP
♥ kanon picked rahwia up and made motions to leave, going "ahh you don't need us right"
♥ luz walked in circles as kanon talked and then kanon stopped and was like "could you listen??"
♥ luz: “im thinking of what to say”
♥ luz said he had a question for us: he wanted to ask if anyone came to watch the performance from far away!! but he said it in a really confusing way?? so the reaction he got from the audience was pretty confused
♥ kanon rephrased into normal human japanese and then luz was the one going "eh??" and we were all like WHAT
♥ kanon turned to us and was like "MY PHRASING WASN’T WEIRD AT ALL, RIGHT?? RIGHT?????"
♥ anyways after it was all sorted it seems that a few people came from taiwan and china
♥ He told us he was gonna sing the “ecchi song we all love” and they did R-18!
♥ last song was cherry hunt~
♥ for cherry hunt luz full laid on the middle platform and held kanons hand
♥ then when he got up to say "ah don't stop loving me" their faces were really close but i couldnt see very well
♥ they were so cute saying goodbyeeee kanon tried to make eye contact with as many people as possible and luz threw so many flying kisses in his usual smooth way
♥ luz said it's the last concert of the year, isn't that nice~ but kanon was like, “I still have comiket though y’know
♥ rahwia was actually one of those plushies with a hole in it to keep your hands warm, so luz put it on his arm as they walked off stage

2019/05/11 Chang Gero Sonic

Chang Gero Sonic 2019! Performers were Gero, Asamaru, ASK, amu, Araki, Alfakyun, un:c, Underbar, Wolpis Carter, Dasoku, clear, Glutamine, Kettaro, Kouhey, Kogeinu, koma’n, that, Tightson, nero, VALSHE, Piko, Pokota, Mi-chan, Meychan, Megatera Zero, Yuge, Hanatan, Rapbit, and Ren!



✦ I was in the fanclub line, so I got in very early! It was super hot for May and the sun was shining so brightly. They sped quite quickly through the numbers so even though mine was quite high, I got in within 15 minutes
✦ I had a lot of things to get for myself and my friends who couldn’t attend so I rushed over the ASK’s table to grab yumamiya’s badge set and the new accessory made by aomofu! As I walked over, there were people making surprised sounds behind me, and I realised as I actually looked at the table that yumamiya himself was there!! And, beside him was aomofu! They were both wearing masks (aomofu was sick :( ) but it was very easy to tell it was them
✦ I quickly got my things from aomofu while kind of staring at yumamiya in shock before heading over to the official goods line, which was already starting to build up
✦ Halfway through that line, I found out the type c t-shirt was gone…….. I picked up kuji (my luck was terrible) and then a different shirt
✦ I headed over to asamaru’s table, where they had two lines which were also starting to get long….. I ran into a friend I made from koge’s birthday event and we ended up spending the rest of the day together
✦ I got a Bunch of things from At.Malleto and gave them linn’s letters
✦ Cloak was really expensive so we ended up leaving the venue during DJ time for me to put my things in another locker and grab more cash…. I really wanted to be there for DJ but there wasn’t much choice….. I went all the way to zepp tokyo because I knew there were lockers there and it turns out sakata was having a one-man there?!
✦ We then went back and I handed the letters I forgot to yumamiya and aomofu, who had just cleared their line. They looked at them, kind of processing the names written on them, before yumamiya handed aomofu hers like, こうかな? it was very cute……
✦ I put the actual performers’ letters in the gift box and basically made it just in time for the first stage to start!
✦ Each set of performers were divided by stages, and there was a small break between each stage. To the audience, the blue stage was on the left, and the red stage was on the right. The first stage started with the red stage!
✦ Gero came out and called everyone else on stage to sing Gyoukou dance~
✦ I immediately saw ask, who had??!?!?!? BLUE HAIR?!?!??! and I could see his did the nicorai tattoo on his neck again………….. god…………………….
✦ And of course gero’s hair was red!! It was so unusual to see the two of them like that

First Stage
✦ The first stage performers were glutamine, kouhey, tightson, rapbit, hanatan, underbar, megatera zero, and piko!
✦ Piko did a wonderful tengaku and I was so relieved to confirm ASK wasn’t going to be singing it this year LOL…….
✦ Tightson did his version of renai circulation, which I’ve always really liked!! He also did a collab with rapbit!
✦ Megatera sang charles and got us to sing along with him during the chorus. He was really really good……
✦ It was so hot that I got really worried about drinks, so we ended up leaving the stage to grab a bunch of bottles.
✦ During that time, Hanatan sang!! Even from the back, she was amazing. Her vocal power was incredible and you could tell that everyone was blown away by her voice………. Everyone like stopped what they were doing to turn to the stage and watch
✦ Underbar was very cute as usual!! Everyone really loves him… He also sang yi er fanclub with glutamine
✦ The ending song was rolling girl, which they sang as a group.

Second Stage
✦ Nicorai stage! pokota, ASK, kogeinu, that, gero, yuge, nero, and dasoku
✦ Gero explained that nero was here to stand in for dasoku because if dasoku sang with nicorai as well he’d have too many parts on stage LOL
✦ Gero said that with dasoku gone he looks tiny standing amongst everyone else
✦ He had everyone along the line introduce themselves, and ASK talked about his blue hair! He and gero stood next to each other and said they were a duo :’)
✦ As a group, they talked about how because they’re old they never stop talking, especially targeting yugepo
✦ gero kept trying to throw the conversation over to koge and make him talk because he kept pretty quiet :’)
✦ They STILL ended up talking a lot and pokota blamed yuge while pointing at him
✦ They all sang GOLD together! And nero did dasoku’s rap part!! It was so surprising but really refreshing, and he was really good!
✦ Gero was wearing sunglasses when he came out, but as they were singing this song someone walked over to him and pulled them off to wear for themselves
✦ gero and yuge were messing around pretending they were on a motorcycle or something
✦ ASK sang scissorhands and was way too cool…… He makes such grand gestures on stage……..He also changed his outfit a little from the MC at the start??
✦ Nero sang risky game and sounded lovely as usual…..
✦ Pokota also changed outfits, but his was??!?!?! super fancy omfg he was in like a white costume tuxedo and looked super good…. He sang a ballad with zimuinG on piano!
✦ yuge sang ten faced
✦ Kogeinu sang USA!! He had the XYZ crew (gero, piko, araki, un:c, and meychan) as his backup dancers. They were so energetic LMAO some of them were messing around with the dance a little!! it was cute. I was watching un:c for most of it so I couldn’t tell you much else about the others but he was really good at dancing it’s ridiculous……….
✦ koge kept turning around to look at them looking kind of bewhildered LOL….. At the end he watched them a little and tried to dance along as well!! He was properly dancing along to the all-famous chorus from the start though
✦ koge and ASK matryoshka!!!!
✦ The dagero crew (dasoku, gero, that, yuge) came out to sing DaRoWay! Zatton played the guitar for that part
✦ To end, the 2nd stage members (minus dasoku) sang fire flower
✦ ASK and that?? shared a mic and two others did too but I really don’t remember who…. I feel like one of the pair was koge

Third Stage
✦ Performers for this round were alfakyun, un:c, araki, meychan, wolpis carter, and piko!
✦ this stage was honestly so wild…. It was a whole bunch of high-energy people singing high-energy songs!! I could barely see the stage half the time because everyone in the audience was partying so hard along with them
✦ alfakyun sang seisou bakuretsu boy, araki sang dappou rock?, meychan sang mabel
✦ wolpis sang children record! during his MC part, he said he was 24 years old and an old uncle, and that at this age he gets tired after only one song. which was a very daring statement considering the performers he was amongst that day (there were probably only 2 or 3 people younger than him???)
✦ someone in the audience shouted something at him, and he purposefully misheard, going “hmm?? poop? poop???” I think they were saying “ganbare!” or something, but after a while he relented and sent them a flying kiss right through the mic and everyone lost it
✦ I really liked wolpis’ outfit a lot…………….. he wore the special orange akemashite omedetou tte ie T-shirt under a really nice blue/aqua windbreaker? and loose pants
✦ un:c sang churira chururira dadada!! he was energetic with it as always, and I really liked when he did the “shippo dasu obakasan” part….. he turned around, put his leg on the platform, and waved his hand around like a tail and was so cute
✦ alfakyun and araki sang rettou joutou and it was SUCH a blast! I was so glad to finally hear this song performed at a concert!! They were So Powerful and fakyun really hit the notes just right
✦ un:c, fakyun, and i think piko were on stage together from one song? and un:c told us they were going to call someone else to join them!! we all called for meychan and he appeared~ They talked for a bit as a group, then araki quietly walked out to stand in the middle of the stage, looking very sad. when they all saw him they totally lost their shit because un:c had forgotten to call him out too OMFG
✦ un:c kept apologising through his laughter, and the others were saying they were wondering why he wasn’t called but didn’t say anything about it
✦ They got araki to return backstage so they could call him out properly, but when we called his name no one came out right away…. then suddenly he blasted out from the opposite side of the stage?! un:c chased after him for a while while we all shrieked with laughter
✦ They sang a group gigantic OTN!
✦ the last group song was deriheru yondara kimi ga kita! Halfway through the song, kouhey joined them and like completely took over the performance?! apparently it wasn’t planned at all but it was SO FUNNY OMFG and he was really good
✦ during one of the group songs, i saw un:c go back to where wolpis had kind of retreated in the back of the stage and pull him by the arm back to the front where everyone else was, while still singing?? He seemed like such a nice big brother there ahhhhh………..
✦ un:c jumped up SO HIGH while he was behind everyone else WTF

Fourth Stage
✦ Performers for this stage were clear, dasoku, asamaru, amu, mi-chan, kettaro, koma’n, pokota, ren, and VALSHE!!
✦ I had actually left the audience area during the break to try and get some more merch, but when I met up with my friend and I saw that yumami wasn’t at ASK’s table anymore, i told her we really had to go and we rushed back over to the blue stage
✦ pointfive sang two or three songs? I could see asamaru had hung his phone on a strap around his neck, where surely jack was watching from
✦ He was also wearing the at. malletto hoodie and seemed very insistent on wearing it even though it was so hot that day LOL he kept kind of pulling it off and letting it hang on his arms but never fully took it off
✦ during MC, clear asked why everyone was looking at him?? they called him their leader and he was like THERE’S NO LEADER
✦ the pointfive members left the stage, leaving only mi-chan! then, the rootfive members came out, carrying some clothes. They danced around him in circles, throwing the clothes at him, until he was properly dressed to match their nice patterned outfits (earlier with pointfive he was in a simple white shirt and pants)
✦ rootfive sang merry go round and surprised so many people by breaking out into dance!
✦ a mix of rootfive and pointfive members came out to sing magnet together! then, the remaining members joined halfway through. When they reached That Part, gero interrupted right on cue and started talking to the voice in the sky!!! The voice greeted us and they talked for a bit. There was so much cheering and yelling…….. we were so delighted he decided to appear again :’) Then, everyone, including the voice, sang the last part of the song together!
✦ asamaru and pokota kept playing around with dasoku’s arms… they each grabbed him on one side and made him pump his arms up and down while he just stood there with an unchanging expression
✦ dasoku and ren came out on stage and dasoku was immediately like, so what on earth was wolpis carter talking about earlier
✦ ren: at our age, you get tired before you even sing at all!!!!
✦ Ren had specifically grown a beard and wore glasses for CGS (he’s now normally clean-shaven and wears contacts) because he said people definitely wouldn’t be able to recognise him otherwise
✦ they sang eh? ah, sou. together and were arm in arm for most of it, it was really nice to see ;v;
✦ clear sang a really lovely from y to y…… he sounded so gentle, and the wind started blowing a little, so the atmosphere became so soft to match him…..it was really lovely
✦ ketsukoma did a duet as well!
✦ ren, mi-chan, and pokota? sang a song together!! t seems it was the first time that particular group had sung together?
✦ VALSHE finally appeared to sing migikata no chou and was SO charismatic OMFG we all yelled so much for her!!! she was so cool and sounded absolutely perfect. she really got the audience pumped up!!
✦ Then, dasoku and clear joined her, and it was time for VASOCLEAR IMITATION BLACK!!!! it was so amazing to listen to after all these years….. Nearing the end, dasoku and clear started walking closer and closer to VALSHE, who was standing in the middle. We knew it was coming, but i still almost couldn’t breathe LOL…….
✦ 「二人とも大好きだよ」
✦ she delivered her line perfectly and the roar from the crowd was absolutely deafening, man
✦ during MC, clear was thinking back to how valshe was always in his namahousou…. they talked about how she and dasoku would fight all the time
✦ The three of them had such incongruent fashion styles LMAO valshe was wearing a lot of fancy frilly black clothes, clear was in a neat and low-key blue cardigan, and dasoku was in a normal black hoodie
✦ Everyone joined them on stage to sing a group senbonzakura!!
✦ pokota was totally fanboying over vasoclear, and he said that valshe didn’t really talk much backstage, but she talked so much while on stage???
✦ They looked like they were having so much fun singing together!! amu in particular seemed so active. I saw him and valshe singing directly at each other and it looked like they were having a blast~ But then suddenly, everyone fell back and knelt down in what seemed like slow-motion, leaving VALSHE standing in the middle as the focus, as she sang her solo!! it was magical and i really loved that moment a lot….. it’s still something that hangs on my mind even now
✦ amu really was so active this time around! I’m glad to see he had lots of parts in the group songs, even though he didn’t sing a solo. asamaru also didn’t have a solo :’)

Fifth Stage
✦ Gero’s stage! He did some solos and collaborations with a bunch of other participants!
✦ Gero sang Setsuna Trip with un:c, Black Rock Shooter with VALSHE, and duets with araki and alfakyun as well! really, some dream collabs for me
✦ Gero came out with a speakerphone and looked super cool….. He shouted into it, then sang a solo Kutabare PTA!
✦ gero’s mic died during mc while he was alone, so he kept going “PENIS” to test the mic. Wolpis walked out telling him “You shouldn’t say things like that!! even though i said poop earlier”
✦ Then they kept going back and forth, repeating both words and combining them until they had a mess on their hands
✦ gero called wolpis the guy who wants to sing in a high tone! he also said that neither of them had sung the song they were about to sing together before…?
✦ It was dramaturgy!!
✦ Just be Friends was with koma’n on piano + singing harmony!
✦ someone near the front of the audience collapsed in the intro to the song, so gero stopped the performance and waited for her, while talking with us. He told us to take care during concerts and that if you need to rest, please do so! He said it’s no trouble at all and he’ll always wait for those who collapse. He’s really so sweet about things like this….. When it seemed like she was okay again (or got treatment?) he had us all give her some applause and then returned back to the song
✦ I THINK this stage is where there was a group Tokyo Winter Session with Gero, alfakyun, ASK, and Hanatan? Meychan took halyosy’s part, and Piko took 96neko’s! meychan and piko were actually so funny singing together but piko’s voice really did fit the girl’s part perfectly
 

Farewell
✦ Everyone came onto the stage, and the atmosphere was so great?! They were all so chatty with each other and shaking hands and stuff
✦ faneru made an appearance as well!!! i was so, so happy to see him on stage with everyone. gero put an arm around him and had him trapped while he told us all, “here’s faneru!!!!!”
✦ faneru gave asamaru a HUGE hug!! he was also wearing the At. Malletto hoodie~
✦ I also saw dasoku hug someone but I don’t remember who…..
✦ faneru got passed around the stage so much…. I saw him with ASK and pokota and koge at separate points
✦ he was there for the picture as well!!
✦ he said he probably wouldn’t be making another appearance next time (doubt)
✦ To take the commemorative photo, gero got us all to yell KOUHEY SAIKOU and then someone was like CAN WE AT LEAST SAY CHAN GERO SONIC SAIKOU and gero was like OKAY KINJOU SAIKOU but then for the actual thing he said kouhey again anyways
✦ everyone’s last words went by really fast this time around!
✦ meychan: gero mentioned how he was a fan that lined up for him at comiket
✦ araki: he said he was kouhey’s fan and went to line up for HIM at comiket!! (??he'd never been to comiket) kouhey stepped out and gave him a firm handshake
✦ megatera had another concert to be at that night so he left early in the day
✦ asamaru had jack talk to us again, through his phone!!
✦ ASK was last in the lineup and someone before him said something really good? I think it was one of the rappers. and gero was like THIS GUY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE END WTF
✦ someone said kouhey stunk of alcohol loool a lot of them had been drinking backstage
✦ They all sang Mind Craft together!! it looked like so much fun…… they were all encouragingly pushing each other to the front to sing with gigantic smiles on their faces, it felt like a festival
✦ ASK said tightson was crying so gero turned around to look at him but he totally wasn’t LOL
✦ for the final bow, they were lined up in two tiers! faneru somehow got pushed into the front and ended up right next to koge~

extra bits I couldn’t place:
✦ someone almost fell off the blue stage but I don’t remember who……….. i think it might’ve been pokota?
✦ we got ASK’s…. bone sausage……..

✦ gero got us to yell “kouhey” so many times for like no reason…. he loves him
✦ cleanero sang stardust utopia!!!! I was so happy because I really do love their duet of it Most
✦ gero told us that some kid saw him while he was out buying something a few days ago? and said annyeonghaseyo to him (because of his red hair)
✦ clear, amu, and kettaro? were arm in arm jumping up and down for a group song and looked like they were having a lot of fun
✦ someone accused dasoku of not being excited and he was like “no this is me being excited”
✦ Gero said that during VALSHE’s migikata no chou, everyone backstage was yelling


Thank you Chang Gero Sonic for another awesome festival!!!!!!!!!

2019/08/29 ONE UNITY Finale

ONE UNITY’s final show! Performers were anri, shack, kenty, rim, s!n, izu, kanseru, ashikubi, and again!
  • I was a little late because I had to get there from work, but they seem to have been delayed so i made it before they actually started!!
  • there were like three huge flower stands for ashikubi omfg (it was his first concert appearance ever)
  • they handed us a ticket-like slip with the promo illustrations upon entering!
  • the illustration was also on the screen at the stage at the start and the very end]

  • anri opened with a solo!
  • I'm not too familiar with a lot of the performers, so i did a lot of scrambling getting my bearings every time someone came out
  • kanseru was very easy to identify though LOL i know him fairly well and I've seen what he looks like
  • he’s really huge wow

  • there were a lot of screaming songs omg they’re all so metal
  • there was a lot of rock in general, it was a fun setlist!
  • rim sang sakana tengoku! it seems to be one of his regular songs?
  • He talked before he started the song, saying that he'd recently gotten really into drawing!
  • he brought out a sketchbook, and it was full of instructions to the audience on how to sing along to his performance
  • one page just said 全員パリピ (everyone party) and i laughed real loud at that
  • he was really cute and cheerful!!
  • s!n came in informing us that he's good-looking and sings well and performs well and [something else]
  • He wasn't wrong though
  • I had never seen him before despite seeing his name around fairly often, but my idea of how he looked was so different from how he appeared today?! he had short blue hair and looked youthful enough to match all the other young guys in the guestlist, and was pretty small!! (i always thought of him as being a scary looking guy with long black hair LOL but upon later investigation i guess he had changed his style recently)
  • During his duet with someone, his shirt was lifted up either by his partner or himself, and he started yelling about his beautiful body
  • for his last solo, he parted the audience and ran all the way down the hall?! he's really got some style
  • something goes wrong with the lyrics screens that they look at on stage before s!n and kenty's duet, so they have to stall for time
  • kenty says he's not even good at MC
  • they discuss singing the song without the lyrics for help, but s!n keeps insisting he doesn't know the song well enough, and keeps asking if kenty could really do it without the lyrics
  • when it finally gets sorted out and the song starts, we find out that the song was….! koshitantan!!!! a favourite of mine~
  • I think this is where kenty tries to do some flirty fanservice with s!n, but s!n kind of dodges him?! and kenty's like, "ohhh??? could it be you're actually bad with this kind of thing???"
  • ashikubi appeared quite late into the show!! the lights were dimmed on stage with only a slight blue backlight, turning him into a silhouette so you couldn't really see him
  • He said "I'm Ashikubi" and then sang nonsense bungaku!!
  • he missed some lines in the beginning and got flustered and apologised ;o;
  • he was really good though!! he even screamed!!
  • he didn't have any duets but he did one other solo~

  • They mentioned how anri cut his hair between the afternoon and night performances!! he seemed to just decide on it suddenly and they were all surprised
  • anri asked if there's any 17 year olds in the audience, saw a bunch raise their hands, and whispered "yadaaa~~~"
  • He said he started One Unity when he was 17?! and now he's 21!! (THAT'S STILL VERY YOUNG HELLO??)
  • they had a camera filming the stage, so it was projected back onto the stage screen during MC
  • this just resulted in them playing around with the delay a lot
  • the drummer was the one mainly displayed LOL
  • I think one of the people playing with it was s!n?
Encore
  • Everyone came out to talk except for anri, who was changing! again lead most of the conversation
  • almost all of them were wearing again’s t-shirt!! mostly the black one but s!n and izu were wearing the white version
  • ashikubi was wearing a pitta mask!
  • again asked if it was anyone's first time at one unity and ashikubi very quietly said it's his first live (ever), surprising a lot of the cast!!
  • it seemed to have been quite a few peoples' first times at One Unity~
  • Anri finished changing and joined then, talking about how it's been four years since he started this concert
  • He told us that the last song is dappou rock and they get ready to start, but then the keyboardist started playing Happy Birthday!!
  • He's so surprised and immediately starts laughing and crying as the cake is brought out
  • They project the camera footage onto the screen again and his crying face is giant
  • he really did cry a lot ;v;
  • rim started messing around with the camera, making stupid faces, while anri cried
  • someone feeds him some cake and it gets on his nose, so they point and laugh at him
  • he turns to look at the screen (basically turning away from the camera) and they laugh even harder and call him stupid
  • s!n put his mid into his pocket to start dappou rock and they all point it out but he tells them it’ll be fine
  • then during the song he was way too busy messing around and missed his line, so they all shout “YOU!!!!!” at him and he just cackled
  • they all had so much energy at the end, seriously
  • ashikubi was very quiet for the most part
  • s!n waved goodbye really weirdly he was like wiggling his fingers
  • on one side of the stage, s!n, kenty, and rim laced hands, then again stormed up to them looking jealous so they let him into their circle
  • on the other end, shack piggybacked ashikubi and kanseru piggybacked izu and they ran around in circles while laughing
  • the two groups converged and they all started jumping around in a circle while cheering wildly while anri stood there watching like ?
  • They left the stage in such high spirits!!!
afterwards, i went to check out merch but all of ashikubi's was sold out ;-; I decided to try my luck at the badge kuji and actually got him and kanseru!

2019/12/15 Hanapoko VS cleanero

Hanapoko VS cleanero at Chiba!!!
  • Hanapoko came out first and sang a few songs
  • They were wearing matching brown outfits! I really liked pokota’s jacket, it was like… corduroy? They looked like they came from some old english setting
  • Hanatan’s hair was partially braided, it was super cute!
  • They dueted SukiKirai, but hanatan said “baldy” twice and with lots of emphasis
  • Pokota was really funny with the way he sang it as well
  • Hanapoko left the stage, and instrumental music started playing!
  • Then, cleanero came out!
  • They sang together for a bit, then hanapoko came back out in different outfits!

  • Pokota was very princely with a cape and everything
  • Hanatan’s dress was purple with flowers on it! It seems it was an outfit for a previous event
  • Pokota came out asking them why on earth they didn’t make use of the platforms at either side of the stage (so that the audience can see them better) and clear said that if they stand at either end like that, nero’s too far away
  • They commented on pokota’s outfit, and clear said it looks like there’d be a fan under there or something, but pokota took “fan” to mean like…. Listener?? So he cut clear off and turned to the audience, asking if anyone wanted to get in
  • He ended up taking the cape off at some point (there was no fan underneath)
  • Clear was late for makeup/rehearsal, and hanapoko alluded to it during their first MC, but said they’d let the real person explain when he came out
  • Apparently he had looked at the schedule wrong
  • When he got a call from his manager, he was kind of annoyed, until he realised he was the one that messed up
  • Pokota told him his makeup was done in only a few minutes and clear was like “so it was fine anyways~” and there was a pause until he was like “ah, i see, it’s my fault your makeup was done that fast, okay :’)”
  • The setlist was a really cool mix of their originals and some of their popular vocaloid cover songs! They mixed up the duet pairs for a lot of them, which was really fun
  • Nero and pokota Stardust Utopiaaaaaa
  • Cleanero sang ambivalence thanks for my life
  • Hanatan and clear Cendrillion!!!! Both their vocal power was nuts…… pokota and nero came back out and were like, that was crazy what are you two
  • Cleanero and hanatan did imitation black and somehow it made total sense
  • Hanatan sang romeo to cinderella with someone…. nero?
  • All four of them sang Madness of Duke Venomaniaaaaa!!!

  • Nero would do fistpumping motions to get us to cheer but he’d still have that same serene smile on his face
  • Pokota kept motioning for people to get on the platforms LOL the second time he left cleanero alone he came back saying his staff was really happy they made use of them this time
  • Hanatan said pokota was being really homohomo with ASK yesterday and cleanero were like what?? What?? What’d you do??
  • Pokota said ASK is really amazing because he’s completely confident and doesn’t have a shred of embarrassment doing cheesy of fanservicey things
  • Cleanero were like ahhhhh you’re right……
  • Clear in particular was like “I definitely can’t do those sorts of things, it’s impossible >_<”
  • They got nero to tell the audience he loves us but he did it with super weird exaggerated body motions and we all laughed
  • They talked about the setlist and how there’s so many songs!!
  • Despite there being lots of swapping around, there were no solos! Some original solos were sung in duets
  • Apparently clear was the one that didn’t want solos LOL he said he feels much more at ease when there’s someone beside him~
  • They asked pokota if rootfive danced to every song and he said yeah and they were so impressed
  • Hanatan said rootfive was 5 members and pokota was like nonononono dasoku can’t raise his arm past shoulder height so he cant dance with them!!!
  • They started having light conversation about dasoku and pokota mentioned that he started getting into fishing before cutting himself off like “WTF WHO CARES?!?!”
  • Pokota said he offered to have cleanero wear some of his outfits since they don’t really do any special outfits themselves, but clear said he didn’t think he’d be able to fit pokot’s clothes because he’s so skinny!!
  • Hanatan stepped in and offered her dresses to them too
  • As of this concert, pokota’s had 4 matching outfits made for hanapoko!
  • Pokota said that since long ago he’s been associated with chihuahuas, so sometimes he’d post his face with pictures of chihuahuas, but then one time he was told by dasokue “you’re not even that cute”
  • He also complained that the baldy schtick has been going on for like ten years even though his hairline is perfectly fine
  • Hanatan said that pokota and cleanero were very close and there was a kind of ? moment looooool
  • They don’t hang out much privately but clear and pokota used to do karaoke streams a lot! Nero got so excited at the mention of those and was like “i used to watch thoes!!!”
  • Clear talked about his name’s origins: before NND, he was in a band under the name “dear”! But, when he started uploading, he didn’t want to be found out, so he chose to use “clear” instead. But he was found out pretty soon anyways LOL
  • They talked a little about what nero was doing before utaite activities as well! He had a pretty cool job but i already forgot what it was
  • Clear told him that his younger sister was a big fan of pokota, and when she found out he was doing utaite activities she asked him excitedly, “you know pokota-san?!”
  • Somehow they also got to talking about anima? nero said that he got a phone call from him out of the blue recently! he was doing a birthday stream and his viewers had asked him to phone nero
  • hanatan said that a long time ago, a group of them all went to disneyland and someone there? a character actor? looked a lot like anima so she and the others kept looking at him and exclaiming “anima! anima!”
  • The way she listed the disneyland crew was amazing too…… It was like, ASK, aomofu, gero? test, and more, but as she kept going on there were so many familiar names that the audience started murmuring in awe

  • When they lined up to say thank you, pokota noted that hanatan properly held clear’s? Hand and was pouty about it
  • She was just like “of course i would ( ꈍᴗꈍ)”
  • They bowed, and then music started up?! It was rootfive’s recent song!! The audience got SUPER excited
  • They all rapped!!! It was so unexpected of them!! Hanatan was great!!
  • The audience was so pumped up LOL it was a lot of fun!!
  • Pokota told us that they practised so much just to prepare for this song
  • After that was senbonzakura, which was also hella wild
  • They lined up to bow again, and then….. The music started up again?! They sang the rootfive song one more time!! Pokota said it’d be a waste since they practised so much~
  • And that was the end!! It was a great way to end the show

2019/11/23 Gero "Reiwa Rampage" Tour Original Day Tokyo

Gero’s final performance for his 2019 tour, at Tsutaya O-East! This was his original songs day.
  • As always, the pre-performance announcements by staff were so cute
  • He sang shayou and it was fun as hell as always
  • Baby music rider was so cute!! The lighting was all pink, and bubbles got released into the crowd! He looked really lovely singing in it, i love this song
  • He talked about the bubbles in the MC afterwards and had them shoot off some more
  • The bubbles came back for beloved survival!
  • Streamers were released at the end!! Those always surprise me LMAO
  • He talked for a long time about? Chinese history? Or some story? Apparently it was his bedtime reading to go to sleep but he got super invested in this one guy and kept waiting for him to die, but he kept not dying
  • His first outfit was so nice!! It was this gigantic oversized shirt…. It really suited him.
  • He changed three times during the performance, because he was sweating so much
  • They were all white shirts though………
  • Puyo had a cute shirt too……. The shoulders were exposed and gero pointed it out and he looked a little embarrassed LOL i thought it looked nice on him though!
  • Apparently he hurt his knee yesterday from dancing to ebikanics
  • Yet during one MC part he did something where he was like jumping around throwing a tantrum and then recoiled in pain…. One of the band members was like ARE YOU CRAZY WHY’D YOU DO THAT
  • His shoe was untied while he was talking, so staff rushed on to tie it for him and the band members were like, AMAZING!!! What are you, a king?!!?!?
  • Staff left, and he immediately reached down to untie his shoe LOL so the guy had to run back on stage
  • The band yelled at him some more while we laughed, and he reached down to untie his other shoe as well…… then when that was being dealt with he undid the belt that was hanging off the side of his pants smh
  • Staff was struggling a LOT with the belt, so gero showed him how to do it, then undid it again and was like “now you can do it right”
  • He continued talking with the band as the belt was getting fixed, but the guy really couldn’t figure it out LMAOOO he was so cute and eventually gero let him go back and fixed it himself for real
  • Gero mentioned how his concerts go for a long time because they talk so much HAHA
  • He asked if anyone in the audience needed to catch any early last trains, and one person in the back raised their hand, saying they had to leave at 8:30
  • He asked her where she was from (Niigata) and it turns out he remembers singling her out at a previous concert
  • “Could it be…. You were the one from last time too…?!” “Yes….” “You….. Why don’t you just move here????”
  • He also asked her what she worked as, then for the rest of the night he’d call her Niigata and someone from the band (Puyo?) was like “That’s not her name, you know”
  • Gero asked puyo to yell something at some point? so puyo screamed PENIS and gero told him “the concert’s over now you can’t say that :/”
  • Puyo then mentioned that his older sister came to watch today, for the first time in a while…. And she had to watch him yell “penis” at hundreds of people
  • They said they were going to have an afterparty together for the first time in a while!
  • Gero said he doesn’t usually go to many afterparties, and mentioned the one that he went to with meychan after an XYZ performance, where they cheers’d and then suddenly he woke up in bed the next day LOL
  • While gero changed for the encore, the band discussed if they were able to sleep easily at night or not
  • Hiroki told us that when they stay in hotels and pasta’s in a room nearby, you can hear him through the walls when he wakes up in the morning because he like SCREAMS???
  • Gero talked to us pretty seriously for a bit,,,, he said he wants to continue doing what he likes
  • he mentioned how some famous utaite have said they won’t upload to twitter anymore, because the numbers are dropping
  • He’s failed many times in the past, but slowly those failures became less and less, and here he is now
  • At the end, gero went through and thoroughly praised every band member :’)
  • He even mentioned kuma-chan, who’s the usual drummer, even though he wasn’t there! He couldn’t participate in this year’s tour because he was busy
  • We were going to take a photo, so the photographer was called in, but instead….! Kuma came out!!!! Everyone was so surprised!! Even gero and the band didn’t know he came
  • The look on gero’s face was amazing
  • He was carrying his own camera with him, and insisted on taking a picture even though they kept motioning for him to join them for it
  • He took his picture, then joined them for the real picture, from the photographer that was standing behind waiting LOL
  • Gero announced that there’ll be a tour next year as well!!
  • At the end of the last song, two staff came out. One was carrying a party ball that was hung on a broomstick, and the other, a basket with confetti
  • He stood there as they sprinkled the confetti on him, and one piece even stuck to his face the entire time because he was so sweaty LOL we all laughed even harder
  • The party ball said “see you next year!!”
  • While he wandered the stage waving goodbye to everyone, he also picked up some of the confetti and started handing it to audience members in the front!!
  • Then he got bored with it, made a face, and tossed the rest of it to the ground like “tch!!!!”

2019/06/23 Hikikomori Demo FES ga Shitai!

Hikikimori demo FES ga Shitai at MetLife Dome! Performers were mafumafu, soraru, luz, araki, un:c, nqrse, senra, urata, shima, sakata, eve, sou, amatsuki, and shounenT! the secret guest was meychan
  • The lineup for goods was CRAZY long. I got there around 10/11am, but they were telling us even then that we wouldn’t make it for the start of the show if we lined up at that point? The show started at 3pm……….
  • I decided to try my luck anyways!! The line started from near the dome, but the actual food and merch was far away in a baseball field……. The line split when you got there, but the goods line still wound around and around
  • There were flower stands lining the walkway to the dome, but there were also a bunch at the baseball field!
  • Someone in the line faaar away from me had stuck on of amatsukis puppets on a stick and was waving it around above the crowd…. I thought it was funny
  • I waited for hours but it became clear that I really wouldn’t make it in time…. I left the line about 45 minutes from start and grabbed un:c’s collab drink instead, since the line for food was really short! It had an…… interesting consistency……… it sure matched the name
  • There was a big banner with the promo illustrations at the entrance to the dome! Inside, there was normal arena food.
  • My seat was on the arena floor, but almost all the way in the back! The cart passed by pretty close to me, at least
  • There was a countdown to the start of the concert, on the big screens at the front!
  • For each portion of the performance, the screen would show what group was coming up next. Between each portion was a small break where we’d all sit back in our seats for a few minutes


Amatsuki/ShounenT
  • Amatsuki was the very first up,with his backup dancers! He was so energetic and cute…. He really brought in the high energy from the get-go, and I was super impressed
  • He seems like the type of act that’d be a hit with younger kids
  • T-kun joined amatsuki for some duets, then did some solos!
  • He brought his guitar to play
  • He was very soft :)


USSS
  • Oh boy there was lots of shrieking behind me for these guys
  • They had one original where they had a bunch of swordfighting going on?! It was super cool and they had stuntmen doing backflips and shit all over the place i was blown away by the showmanship
  • There was this moving platform that they got on for a song and it moved OVER the audience to the middle of the arena?! It was so cool omfg
  • They sang senbonzakura and the energy of the audience was pumped to max!!!


EveSou
  • Eve sang nonsense bungaku ahhhhhh!!!!! I was really happy to hear it from him!
  • Sou was very small and cute!! You could feel his refreshing youth
  • The two of them dueted quite a bit of nayutalien!


XYZ
  • XYZ started with Alice in NY and???? MEYCHAN WAS REVEALED!! I was in such shock i just kept going WHAT??? WHAT??? As I strained trying to get a good look at them LOL
  • I’m really happy though!! I didn’t think they’d sing it because they were missing him, but I guess this was the plan all along
  • Performers for XYZ were luz, araki, un:c, nqrse, senra, and meychan!
  • Luz’s outfit was so good…. Apparently he chose it to match the Alice in NY illustration! A white suit with red half gloves, excellent
  • Nqrse was also in white, which I found kind of unusual! He looked really good though
  • I also liked un:c’s outfit!!! It was very casual but showy! red shoes!!
  • They did a non-stop medley of songs from their usual setlist and it was LIT AF I JUMPED AROUND SO MUCH
  • Meychan, araki, un:c, and senra did USA
  • They performed deriheru and gigantic OTN on the moving platform!!
  • There was a lot of chaos amongst them while they were on there LMAO lots of waving to the audience and messing around with each other!! I’m pretty sure I saw someone kneeling for someone else at some point… it was probably luz and unc during deriheru but I don’t actually remember……
  • There was something wild going on with luz and senra too
  • un:c was like half whipping off his jacket off his shoulder…………..
  • When they returned to the main stage, they sang CocktaiL to end their portion!


After the Rain
  • Soraru came out alone and sang some solos!
  • He sang Eureka, but it seems like the speakers werent working? We couldn’t hear him and i could only hear the band very very faintly….. He didn’t notice because he had the earpieces in, so he continued singing until like the first chorus
  • He had to stall for some time while they got things fixed! He mentioned that something similar happened during his tour earlier this year, so this feels kind of nostalgic
  • He sat down on the stool kind of old-man; straddled it and then squatted down
  • He almost pulled his legs into a crisscross but the audience made an endeared fuss at that so he noticed and stopped LMAO
  • I really do like eureka
  • Mafu joined him on guitar for ai fake me!
  • They were wearing inverse colours, which I thought was really neat! Soraru in all white, mafu in all black
  • They did some duets after that, then soraru left he stage and mafu did some solos!
  • Mafu told us to call out “the red guy” for a duet with him, and then amatsuki walked out telling him he really needed to be more specific because there was definitely more than one “red guy” guest that day?! (he specifically brought up araki but there’s also sakata….)
  • They sang kamatte choudai on the moving platform!! They even danced and were so cute omfg i think they did nya poses?
  • When i first saw that platform, I was wondering if they were gonna make soraru ride it as well, but i guess they spared him LOL


Encore
  • This was the group portion of the performance!
  • Secret answer was sung with XYZ and AtR!
  • I think un:c did sekihan’s death metal scream?! Which surprised the heck out of me
  • The entire cast joined in for super nuko ni naritai, on a moving cart that went around the arena!!
  • They were all made to put on the cat hoods
  • un:c knelt down for someone to put it on him
  • I think mafu was at the front, and luz was at the very back! It was a really huge cart so it was hard to see everyone…. Besides those two, I remember being able to see meychan in particular
  • Mafu wouldn’t let anyone take off the hoods until after the commemorative photo hahaha
  • After the photo, everyone started taking theirs off but luz just kind of stood there with it on, staring at us?
  • Last words from everyone!
  • Soraru: when he goes to see other peoples’ performances, he always ends up wanting to see that same view from the stage, so going to mafumafu’s one-man yesterday and then immediately being able to perform on the same stage today was like an instantly granted wish
  • ShounenT: he called the dome melonpan and then everyone after him down the line adopted the name as well
  • Luz: he called the hikifes participants the Avengers LOL
  • Araki: he used to play baseball as a kid, and mentioned something about dreaming of playing at the dome? But now he’s singing here instead
  • They finished with world domination!!
  • un:c and araki looked like they were having an absolute blast singing together to the side of the stage, they were like arm in arm
  • Urata was getting piggybacked as everyone waved goodbye, then he got off for a bit
  • Luz then picked him up for a piggyback and carried him offstage at the very end LOL

i went back for merch after he performance and the line was much more reasonable!! I was able to get everything I wanted so I'm pleased... I just wish i had some of it for the actual performance LOL
It was a really fun night!! They're all such impressive performers and it was cool to see so many of them together in one place

2019/04/13, 04/14 Soraru "10th Anniversary Parade" Tour Tokyo

Soraru’s one-man tour’s Tokyo performances at Makuhari Messe!


there were tonnes of flower stands but i really liked these two!


treasures obtained after a long line

  • This was a huuuuge venue, so there was a middle stage set up as well! If you were in the back seats looking at the front stage, he’d be super tiny u_u there were also some tv screens up, though!
  • There were so many cool effects!
  • Snow fell onto the stage all around him for one song, as he was spotlighted
  • Petals fell down for the last song, before the encore
  • He rode one of those carts around the audience to get to the middle stage, which surprised me! I thought for sure he’d be too scared to do it willingly LOL he kept going “please go slowly…. Slowly”
  • Bubbles were blown into the audience, and some lasted for quite some time!!
  • A song or two later, there was an MC part, and he found one of the bubbles nearby him, so he fanned it upwards while telling it to keep living!! Everyone called him cute (they did this often anyways)
  • He had an orchestra perform as well! They appeared starting from Fire Pit, and stayed for the rest of the performance
  • He got us to echo the “whoaaa” parts for Fire Pit, which was nice
  • For practise, he got the guys and girls to do it separately!!
  • “Ah, that’s pretty much a tie, right?” (it wasn’t) “......mmm everyone please go get boyfriends and bring them to my concerts”
  • He did Mada Mamagoto and I YELLED I love that song so much…. I’m really grateful I got to hear it even though it’s fairly old at this point, and a pretty difficult song to do for a live concert
  • He did it well and I was very satisfied
  • I also really liked his Liekki…. It was so so so good??? It feels very him
  • During Ai Kotoba III, the lighting at the stage was so, so pretty!! It looked like fairy lights were strung around above him, and they were such warm, cute colours….. Pink, orange, white
  • I didn’t actually realise what song it was at first when the song started, but then he started singing and I started crying……… he was just sparkling so brightly amongst those pretty lights, and I really associate the ai kotoba series with him and how far he’s come…….. I was a mess
  • He asked who in the audience had just started listening to him this year, and quite a few hands went up?! He then started counting back until “more than 5 years”, and it seemed like less than half the audience raised their hands. That’s really amazing
  • On a side note, I was hesitant to raise my hand because I wasn’t able to math fast enough, but afterwards i realised that i Definitely have known him for more than five years LMAOOO
  • He always tries to get the band members to talk too but theyre as reluctant to talk as he is LMAO
  • He had a serious talk about how he’s having fun right now, and while painful things have happened, fun things have happened too! He knows that if he ever wants to, he can just stop.
  • For the picture, he left a band member to decide what we should say for it! since he’s 30 years old and this is soraru-san’s 10th anniversary, we should say “soraru san jyussai”
  • On the second day, he totally scared us at the end before eureka?? He said he had something difficult he needed to tell us and there was this long pause where he looked so scared and reluctant……. It just turned out to be a normal-ass good announcement though??
  • Balloons fell down on us near the end!! I was able to grab one~
