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~

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!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

my goods~

This was a sit-down event at Tsutaya O-East! Performers were Kony, clear, Nero, NORISTRY, Irie Ryou, Piko, Meychan, and Yuuto! A Jazz-themed event set at Bar MUSICARA.

Since it was a jazz-style event, they had two chorus members, a sax, a double base, and a variety of percussion in the band! The bassist was super cute…….. They all dressed a bit formally to match the atmosphere! There was a small bar set up with the sign MUSICARA above it, and a seating area beside the audience area with couches, stools, and alcohol, where the guests would go to hang out after singing! It was free seating but we got really amazing ticket numbers from the lottery, so we opted for the third row, smack in the middle, which I think was truly the best option for viewing…. Not too close so we had to strain our necks, but close enough to see everything clearly!

The concert started with Kony, the “owner” sitting at the bar! There was some narration, and kony did the first song of the day: garando!!! He was sooo good I love him so much!! He put so much power into parts of it and is so suited to jazz, I loved it. The next person to step on stage was NORISTRY! He bounced on over and was so adorable….. Kony talked to him for a bit and then returned to his seat at the bar. He did a solo as well, and Kony was in the background singing and dancing along on his chair lol. Then the narrator said nori’s beloved Nero, owner of Millfy, was arriving at the bar! They did a duet together and he was so excited….. It was ti amo! In the middle there’s a break and it’s supposed to be very dramatic as he whispers ~ti amo~ to nero but you could tell he could barely keep himself from laughing….. there were a few giggles from the audience as well because we could sense it from him hahaha. Nori then thanked nero profusely and stepped off into the seating area, and nero did a solo gossip! He was super cool…… The narration continued, and said the owner of Canaria was arriving! Clear stepped onto stage in more casual clothes and a scarf, complaining about the cold. He saw nero and asked him why he was dressed so nicely, and nero replied that on the contrary, why was clear dressed like this?! He explained that today was still a day off at Canaria looool. They looked towards kony, and kony demanded he “take it off”. Apparently there’s a dress code at musicara!! He gave his scarf to kony to hold onto, and then cleaner sang one of their originals together!! I think after that, clear did a solo as well! It was a version of fixer~ When nero joined nori in the seating area you could see nori excitedly greeting him and preparing a drink for him….. It was very cute.

I think after this followed Irie Ryou, meychan, and yuuto? They both did solos, I think. Irie came out already with a cup of alcohol in his hand, looking very pleased with himself….. He cheerfully got us to stand up for his song and was generally very cute! Yuuto did a duet with kony!!

Finally, mama piko made his appearance, as the owner of a snack bar next to bar musicara?! Kony made a show of leaving the bar with whoever last sang, and they changed the sign on Bar Musicara to Snackshop Newcomer….. Piko stepped onto stage from the right side in a very stylish-looking kimono-type outfit and so many people gasped and squealed…….. He really looked so good!! He did his little schtick back and forth with kony and then performed a beautiful yoshiwara lament for us!! He danced along and was soooo good……….. He messed up the timing in the middle and was like tehe I made a mistake~ Ahhh he was so cute!!

Afterwards, all of them were in the seating area and they talked a little! The big talkers were definitely kony and piko. They went back and forth a lot, it was really fun! Someone, I think Irie, popped open a can and put his pic right up to it, at it made such a satisfying crack and sizzle sound… everyone was like WHOAAA that could be used in a commercial!! They started sending out people to sing some more, and you could watched them dance along and do hand motions, it was really funny.

Nori did a ballad arrangement of shoujo rei which was super good, and clear and irie dueted SHAKE! Irie got us to stand again hahahaha. During his second solo, Irie told us he was pretty drunk, and yet still had a cup in his hands. Yuuto did mousou kanshou daishou renmei and got us to do the aiyaiya parts~ Nero and Piko walked onto the stage with his arm around piko’s hips telling him he’s so cute, so cute, and piko was like “I know :)” They go into this entire thing and both twirl around while talking….. piko asks nero if he remembers “That Night” and nero’s like “….no” and they go into a beauuuuutiful uchiage hanabi!! In the middle of the song, piko asks nero if he remembers NOW and nero’s still like “….no”, to piko’s dismay. At the end of the song, he still doesn’t remember, so piko stomps off like “ I don’t care about you anymore!!!!!!” and nero chases after him.

For the last song, they got everyone on stage, but half of them had to used wired mics and piko’s got caught on something and he almost tripped! Everything turnd out ok though, and then kony introduced the song by saying it was the group song for he very first Musicara, back in the day: Just Be Friends!! It was a lot of fun, and piko and nori danced together a lot~ nori also kept making heart and cheering motions to nero, which was very amusing.

They took some time to talk and take a picture with the audience! I saw them taking a bunch of selfies while sitting in the viewing area as well, which was cute. Kony talked about how he liked that it was a sit-down event because then there were no restrictions on hair/hats, and also that he could sit down as well hahaha. He said that if the audience was standing he’d feel like he had to stand as well. Then someone chimed in pointing at Irie saying that this guy made the audience stand up twice though. And he just laughed……
There was no encore for this event!! It ended cleanly and we left the venue to wait for the night performance.

For the night performance, we tried out sitting in the first row!! They started it out completely different this time, bringing everyone out onto the stage right off the bat. Irie had a drink in his hand, as usual. They also never removed the snackbar sign from the stage hahaha. Some of the setlist was the same this time around, but there were some changes as well!! Nori sang Second kiss, yuuto sand tobacco, and cleanero sang beauty and the beast!! Irie really had gotten pretty drunk looool he walked onto stage and told us he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to sing properly, and yet still took periodic sips from his cup. Apparently he cleared an entire bottle of whiskey. I guess he really loves the stuff. And, I thought he sang his solo just fine!!

There was much less narration for this part, and was mostly them swapping out from the viewing area where they’d drink and watch the other performances and chat a little. There was a break for talking as well, where they just chatted. Again, Kony and Piko talked a lot, but all of them were pretty involved!! There was a lot I couldn’t understand, but they discussed kony’s weight, musicara in general, and something about age. When nero sang, nori would do hand motions and hearts, and when piko sang, he blew a kiss to kony and kony blew one back? There was a lot of flailing around in general lol they’re so cute…….

For the finale, they all sang Just be Friends!! Irie started smiling and got us all to stand up. Again, Piko and Nori were dancing soooo much and generally looked like they were having the time of their lives. When it ended, they were the first to start egging kony and the audience on, getting us to cheer for another JBF?? They checked with he staff for time, and decided it should be alright, so they all started stripping off their jackets in preparation to sing again! They tried to get nero to take his off and he was resistant at first, saying if he didn’t have his jacket he’d just look like a grandpa, but he eventually did fling it off and nori fanboyed all over the place :’) meychan ripped his tie off and threw it to the ground to many screams. He also eventually took off his jacket but everyone laughed at him because hwas wearing all black underneath and suddenly looked so plain?? (his jacket was highly patterened) Everyone kept yelling at piko to take something off too but he told us there was nothing he could remove and that he only had a tanktop underneath!! He ended up taking off his shoes to show off his bright red socks, and then nori took off a shoe to reveal that he actually had matching socks! They also tried to get kony to remove something but he really didn’t have anything to take off…. He peeled the guest pass sticker which had migrated from his pants pocket to his shirt pocket and stuck it on someone’s shoulder (meychan??). They finally sang JBF one very last time and everyone on stage looked like they were having so much fun!! Nori and piko were doing the can-can at one point…. They pointed their mics to us and got us to sing the chorus! It was such a blast. For the jump, kony said he would do it, and I could see someone motioning to the others the delay their jump so it looked like they were being shaken by kony landing. There’s an amazing picture of kony mid-jump on twitter…….

It was a fun night of familiar songs arranged in a refreshing new way!! It was a very Kony event and I really liked all the cast members a lot!

This was a collaboration even between Canaria and Millfy bars, featuring clear, amu, and yuuku on the Canaria side, and Nero, Shack, and kec on the Millfy side! The two managers were acting as bartenders in the back. It was basically a Christmas party for the regular attendees of the bars, and many girls dressed up in santa girl or reindeer girl outfits.

I didn’t go to the first event, but for the second event, they did the singing first and then the rest of the time was meant for mingling and drinking! Yuuku and amu both sang solos, then did a duet with each other! Shack and kec did the same. Then, cleanero did 3 solos together!! They did startdust utopia which I looooove so much, so I was really pleased! Then, the party was in full swing! Quite a few bottles of champagne were popped and everyone was very busy visiting table to table to do cheers! Shack and Nero got drunk quite quickly and I was pretty obvious hahaha. They had raffles going with every drink that you purchased! There were signed boards by all of the performers, and then two four-hour free passes for millfy, and two 2-hour rental tickets of canaria!! Incredibly generous prizes! I didn’t win anything, but it looks like some of the attendees who had gotten a loooot of drinks had won. As we left, nero was drunkenly sticking his head out between the curtains in the hallways saying goodbye to all of us. It was clear he was drunk out of his mind, but he was so cute……

For the night event, there was no formal singing and it was mostly just mingling and drinking!! Even more bottles of champagne were popped, to a really impressive degree honestly. Some people took the stage when they felt like singing! Shack sang a bit. I think this was when I saw clear in the back, holding a lightstick, going hard with the cheering. Later on, he got on stage with it and said that he doesn’t know if it was given to him or lent to him, but he’ll give it back if they ask for it, and then stuck it onto a mic stand with the colour still set on blue. I think he also sang a bit? Nero was on the audience floor being himself, cheering cutely in a kind of daze. They were all really busy attending to most of the guests, so hisame and I were mostly keeping to ourself and possibly scaring off others by speaking rapidfire English hahaha….. Nearing the end of the event, I did pass by amu at one point and he noticed me so I said hi!! I’m touched that he still remembered me even though I go to Canaria so infrequently :’) At the end as we were leaving, clear caught us in the hallway and was asking us if we were from canaria or millfy! We were halfway through a conversation when lots of others started stremaingout of the hall, and he got caught up saying goodbye to everyone else so we didn’t know if we should just leave…?! We ended up quickly telling him goodbye and he kind of grabbed our hands cheerfully and shook them while saying bye, so cute!! He was clearly quite drunk too lol.

It was a really interesting event!! I wish I hadn’t been so sick so I could’ve drank a little bit more ( I wanted to try the special guests’ cocktails, but it was still fun regardless! It’s so cool how they can do these kinds of things with their fans….. What a good way to spend Christmas Eve~

An event for 20+ attendees to drink and listen to utaite sing through the night!! Hosted by Kony again, this time the lineup was alfakyun, irei ryou (rairu), clear, Nero, koma’n, Kettaro, NORISTRY, and Mary! Utamaro, eMu, shack, and Nayugorou started off the “session” part of the event, after the main performances. It got pretty wild as everyone got more and more drunk but we got to see a lot of collaboration and it was super fun!!

I really don’t remember the first hour much;; That was when all the legit performances were done. As the event began, all of the main cast got on stage right away. It seems some of them had already been drinking before the event started!

Alfakyun in particular kept talking about drinking
Cleanero did digitaliser
KETSUKOMA were in sunglasses and hawaiian shirts and said something about coming back from California? I didn’t really understand what they were talking about but they were pretending to have an american accent
KETSUKOMA did what i think was a rootfive song? They danced as they sang and were super good…

After all those performances, everyone filed onto the stage with drinks in hand! alfakyun was carrying two cups and everyone laughed at her. Kony talked a bit to lead up to the KANPAI but rairu had already nearly finished his drink during that time LOL so fakyun gave him one of hers! We all cheers’d and then there was a break for everyone to get drinks. This is where it gets pretty messy, so I think a lot of what I remember isn’t chronologically correct!!

About half the audience broke from the front of the stage to head for the bar, so i followed along! Outside in the bar area, some of the performers were already mingling. I remember Kony and rairu for sure…. there was kind of a buzz at one point and i turned around to see [redacted] right behind me!! they were being pushed along by fakyun and I think they had one other person in their party? I grabbed a drink and headed back to the stage floor, which had cleared out so much that I ended up getting pretty close!

The session starter crew came in with their drinks and sang a song together as a group, with fu-rin and wing left of the band members. Each of them were going to do solos! I don’t remember who was first, but apparently that group song was what he was intending to sing solo so he had to find something else on the fly hahaha. They ended up pulling out an ipad to help everyone look for songs/lyrics/scores as they sang. One of them sang shoujo rei, which I love a lot, so i was really pleased! I *think* it was eMu? Nayugorou was last (she lost at rock scissors paper and still walked onto stage at first until eMu complained lol). She sang a lovely Metronome and was kind of staggering around because she was already pretty drunk haha

After their performances, they asked if anyone in the audience wanted to come up and sing but only the really drunk people were yelling LMAO so wing said she might be able to get a special guest, if they’re still around!! I don’t know if they’re allowed to be named since another person that ends up singing later on very clearly asked us not to say anything about them performing…… so….. After a few moments [redacted] appeared on the stage, surprising me and the rest of the audience!! They sang 3 rock songs (senbonzakura!!) at full power and was like, “Isn’t this basically a one-man live?!”. There was kind of a commotion behind me and I turned around to nero almost right behind me!! He was cheering and waving his arms around for [redacted] like a fangirl, and then they walked off stage and he was like “huh….? It’s over already???” and looked soo heartbroken LOL….. Some others took the stage: clear, who sat in a chair, and I think nori and rairu? nero kept waving at those two and making hearts….. Then clear went “eh? where’d nero go?” and everyone around me immediately pointed to him hahahahaha I think? they sang? and many people started swapping in and out after that!!

One guy that said he was koma’ns drinking friend hopped on stage and nearly did a comedy routine?? he was very energetic! his singing voice was really amazing too!! he sang with two or three others, while koma’n was in the back of the audience area somewhere.
koma'n ended up coming onto the stage with a group of others, but i really needed to pee so i left for a bit! Outside, I saw that a bunch of the performers were just hanging around talking to attendees/friends. I remember seeing Nayugorou in particular, pretty close to the doors. When i got back, I was surprised to see [redacted] on stage with the group that had walked on when I left!!! They had already finished singing and were wrapping up, but I was there in time to see them give a gigantic smooch on the cheek to someone (rairu??) to thunderous cheering.
Mary, who had looked pretty nervous for most of the day, showed up at some point and nero got her to sing a very cute kataomoi solo!!
Kettaro was pulled into the stage at another point and I think he sang with someone else?
Kony sang marunouchi sadistic with a group!!
fakyun dueted Hit You 8759632145 Times With This Piano with someone! That person said he thought of a song to sing and told us, “it’s the song wing hates”
while someone else was singing, kony did a tequila shot to lots of cheers
With the exception of wing, most of the band members were swapping in and out, so a lot of the performers ended up taking over the intruments!! especially all the percussion LOL mary seemed to take a liking to them.
During one song, nero played the drums while kony, fakyun, and mary all hit the cymbals and other extra percussion
For another song, nero took the bass!!
Another well-known bassist (i should know his name but i forgot!!!) ended up climbing onto the stage to play for us a bit.
they sang memeshikute again with a big group! maybe this was before the cheers? The people in front of me were actually moving along with their dancing
Fakyun was made to sing even though she wanted to go back and drink LOL she kept talking about her umeshuu. Kony wanted her to do tequila shots, so she called out [redacted] to make them take one with her. They ended up singing sakuranbo and kony would chant during the chorus to get them to drink?? She ended up taking two of them and then kony gave one to wing! they caleld fakyun so manly~ and she said she was definitely not appearing again on the stage after this
[redacted] pointed out that there seemed to be quite a few males in the audience and did their usual thing with the crowd
kony also kept saying mey-chan for some reason, and someone else on stage was like “mary????” but we didn’t really get any clarification because he was so drunk…..
[redacted] also sang magnet with nori!!!!! he looked so surprised and excited and starstruck when he was called up LOL THEY WERE SO GOOD……. It was a piano-only accompaniment at that point because everyone else had disappeared…. After that was when [redacted] told us that we couldn’t say they sang tonight and everyone was like ok!!!!

Really random bits:

Nero’s hair was super cute for this event… It was like…. a very relaxed look? He didn’t have his usual middle part!! someone (nori?) kept pointing out how cute he was and he was like “that’s embarrassing~” (cute!!!)
A lot of them were getting real feelsy with each other as the night went on, probably partially because they needed to support each other so they didn’t trip and fall LOL.
mary had found herself a spot at the front of the audience instead of on stage LOL, it seemed like she had friends with her!! One of her friends sang a few lines on stage before passing it off to someone else!
nori and rairu talked about how they knew each other a while back and rairu was like half a head shorter than nori, but now he’s HUGE
some cleanero fangirls were behind me and got clear to sing fire flower!! it was super fun
Two people on stage were chanting the pokeball catching sound as someone made their way to the bass and wing played the “captured” jingle when they got to it
nori and rairu seemed to be on stage a lot?? nori seemed to have his wits about but rairu looked pretty dang drunk to me.
nori flirted with the audience and all the members a lot??? he kept making cutesy motions and winking and waving. He seemed really popular with the crowd

As it was nearing time to close, only wing, nori, and rairu were left on stage. They tried to find kony for a while and he finally showed up, drunk as hell, and sat down on the chair on stage and looked like he was about to pass out about 75% of the time. rairu finished the drink he was carrying and then mary gave him hers from the audience which he downed immediately. nero also appeared, responsible as ever, and helped with closing!! Kony said it was fine to go until the very last minute (It was supposed to close at 4:00 but the venue was booked til 4:30) because we’d all pick up and leave very quickly, right?? and we all agreed :’) Some people that were still present made some personal announcements, and then kony and nero talked about how they might do something like this again, maybe!! And so, it was the end, and we all picked up and left quickly as per instruction, to catch our morning trains home.

It was such a crazy and fun experience and I’m really glad I went!! I hope I they do this again sometime~

This was an event focused on popular J-pop songs! The participants even dressed up to suit the part of whatever they were singing and some were pretty outrageous. Hosted by Kony, the performers were Alfakyun, clear, Nero, Glutamine, koma’n, Kettaro, Gero, NORISTRY, and Mary.

Kony had released a partial setlist already so we knew Gero was going to sing Hot Limit and lo and behold, he was first up!! HE ACTUALLY WORE THE OUTFIT with skin-coloured clothes and duct tape HAHAHA it suited him REALLY WELL TBH….. He sang it perfect and did the poses and everything and the audience was going wild, it was super fun!! He really has an energy to him that’s just so infectious.

NORISTRY sang Pop Star and came out in an afro wig and even did some cute dancing!! Alfakyun sang a rockish song and was in this plaid red skirt and thigh highs…….. as she walked out and took centre stage there was an audible gasp and people were whispering “kawaii….” She really was very cool and cute!! She walked out into the platform that was sticking out and everyone cheered! She also sang God Knows…. later on and so, she wore a Haruhi cosplay!! She was like, “I *really* didn’t want to wear this………………” while glowering at kony.
KETSUKOMA came out looking super lame in white T-shirts tucked tightly into their high-waisted jeans…… Wing stepped away from the piano and Koma’n took over!!! …Except he was super dramatic and making gross noises as he played and we could not stop laughing…. They were singing a really slow ballad so they kept being dramatic and fake crying and it did not feel like a slow sad song at all…….

And now for someone else who didn’t want to wear what they ended up wearing…….. Nero……….. He sang Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On and ohhhh boy. He walked out in full crossdress and we all lost our shit. A super long curly blonde wig tied in a low side ponytail with a gigantic pink flower, a pink dress, and a frilly white top WE COULDN’T STOP LAUGHING but he sang the song SO WELL it was confusing on my soul??? He called for “Jack” and NORISTRY came out (in normal clothes this time) and did the Titanic pose with him on the middle platform, then was pushed away…. It was very dramatic and I can’t believe nero kept a straight face through all of that.

After all this was some nonstop normal singing!! Clear, mary, and glutamine all came out to do solos! The others came out (mostly) in normal clothes to sing some more songs as well. Nero and NORISTRY did a duet! Gero ended up MCing a lot with Kony after his second song. He talked about how that hot limit outfit took forever to put on because of the duct tape, and it was really tight and he had to sit like that for hours…. well I think it was worth it for the reaction he got LOL. They talked about how both alfakyun and nero really didn’t want to wear what they wore…. They were imitating nero just as he was about to go on stage saying he turned around suddenly saying “I don’t want to wear this after all”

Thennnn Kony said they were doing another foreign song: Beauty and the Beast!! So out comes clear in a really cool-looking suit outfit with a long jacket and…..? A FURRY LION HOOD……. And following him is Nero BACK IN THE DRESS AND WIG LOL. Again, they kept a completely straight face while singing and sounded amaazing as per their usual.

Glutamine sang his second song dressed as the singer (Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi) and kept it on for the rest of the event….. His hair was pulled back into a bandana and he had on sunglasses and a leather jacket….. He also was carrying around a guitar and harmonica (he didn’t touch the harmonica while performing, I think)
Kony finally sang at some point but I think it was a duet?? Then fakyun and mary came out in super cute outfits and sang sakuranbo!!!! A bunch of the guys came out to cheer on the sides and kettaro went HARD with the wotagei. THe other guys did some dancing too, it was great. Alfakyun kept saying, while glaring at nothing in particular, that she really did not want to wear this outfit either LOL she’s great…. It was a very light-coloured outfit and she had parts of her hair up in two glittery buns, very cute.

They then did a bunch of Johnny’s songs! Kony sang a solo here and NORISTRY came out in fakyun’s haruhi cosplay and started flirting extremely heavily with the bassist???? Kony had to drag him away to the other end of the stage, it was so wild. KETSUKOMA came out in what I’m pretty sure were the 2G uniforms?? They talked about how even though it’s the same shirt, it looks completely different on koma’n compared to Kettan hahaha. Kony asked them to guess what size his shirt was and it was 8L! They were really surprised.
Lastly, They all sang Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana together! A very appropriate song for MUSIC STAGE.
Then, the encore!! fakyun and mary walked out (still wearing their sakuranbo outfits) complaining about a gross guy and gero stumbled behind them sadly while yelling mary’s name. They walked all the way out onto the platform and both gave him an (extremely light) slap on the cheek while calling him gross LOL. Then everyone came out and sang Memeshikute together!! It was super fun. Most people had changed out of their outfits but glutan was still in his and everyone kept laughing about it… maybe he really liked it. gero kept making everyone laugh and clear who was right beside him was really losing his shit.

It was such a crazy performance!! I didn’t know a lot of the songs too well (culture…..) but it was so fun to watch them sing in their ridiculous getups. I had so much fun!!

I went to Cleanero’s Birthday Live at Kawasaki Serbian Night!

I was late for the first performance so i missed the first (two?) song(s) ;-; They were doing MC when I walked in, and Nero was telling the audience to say “omedetou!!!” every time there’s a pause and clear was like, please don’t….

Again I’m bad with songs so I can’t name many but they did sing Summer Memories which was my favourite!!!! They were SO in sync the entire time, and would turn and look at each other a lot for parts where they sang together, I think to time their breaths? BUT ANYWAYS their voices blended sooo well and they sang everything really perfectly I was blown away HAHA.

During the breaks while they drank water, everyone would properly shout “omedetou!!” and we even made clear spittake a little from laughing…. he’d turn to us and tell us we REALLY don’t have to say it and nero’s just like smiling smugly

They talked about a lot of things!! Clear mentions how his voice gives out sooner than it used to, and they discuss this and nero concludes that it’s due to age LOL and clear’s just like ah i see……. They then talk about TOH, where one girl? was asked to tell them how old everyone was, and she guessed 27 for clear!! the audience was like, “oooohhh…..” and clear was like “not ooohh!! i’m young!!!” Then, when she gets to nero, she starts with “thir-” and nero immediately cuts her off like “okay that’s enough thanks” HAHA we all had a big laugh at that… clear says it’s probably the condition of his skin… or possibly that he’s gotten too skinny? Nero stands there pretending to take notes, and then clear brings up that it’s probably because he’s got a ~mature and sexy~ vibe to him and everyone makes sounds of agreement

Another MC part had them talking about how they’d stay up til morning playing smash bros during high school, and how clear moved away from Kumamoto at one point, went back, and then moved to Tokyo, and it looked like fun where he was so nero followed later on!

clear said something about the audience that I didn’t really understand but I think it was something about how amazing the view from the stage always is…. He couldn’t say it properly without sounding weird so he asked nero for help and nero just… flirted with the entire audience LOL

During one of the songs nero gets right in the front of the stage, at the centre, and does some like, seductive dance?? I was too off to the side to see exactly what he was doing but he’s such a dork omg….
They also mentioned they’d like to upload as cleanero again!! I think for next year? I’m really looking forward to that~

For the encore they came back on in matching concert shirts and sang three? more songs! the last one was digitalizer, and they got us all to jump at the very end! And with that, the first performance ends.

In the second performance, the curtains pulled open to reveal nero, dressed in the outfit from the previous performance, and clear in a marilyn monroe t-shirt that was bedazzled with rhinestones…. everyone laughed LOL but it was pretty impressive… nero put the mic to her mouth for a line in the first song. Apparently that shirt costed 10k yen?! He wears it in twitcasts too…. No one was able to compliment it LOL but it was uhhhhh really something

Nero did his set of solos first! He sang Sunset, Suna no Wakusei, and Eien Hanabi! Then, clear returned to the stage and called up masaya, who came onto stage with a chocolate cake!!! clear overexaggerates his happy birthday song, and then after nero blows the candles out he feeds him a piece (it almost drops) but they make it. clear then takes the stage with Moon, Fixer, and Outsider!! He says he prefers it when Nero is on stage with him because then he can sing half the song hahaha. Nero then returns with a vanilla cake and they repeat the same thing with clear!! The candles blew out twice but they got them lit again and quickly took a picture. The birthday song goes on for even longer for some reason LOL they had a lot of fun with it…
They end up talking about conditional surrender somehow? clear says nero sings and dances and imitates some weird moves and nero tells him he doesn’t dance but he has backup dancers and clear says but he does dance some parts!!! and continues dancing weird LOL but he says he’d like to see nero actually dancing and singing again one day… they talk about collabs with orodite and stuff.

They announce(ish) that they want to do a live tour!! Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka?, and Fukuoka if possible! I think it should be around autumn/winterish. Then they talk again about wanting to do a collab upload!
To close, they sing Digitalizer again! There was no encore for this performance ;-; Everyone was like whyyyy but there really wasn’t any time…. they’d go on too long for every single MC portion and the band members started imitating the staff telling them to wrap it up LOL it was very cute….

clear and nero are seriously amazing….. They sing SO well together and you can tell they have such a strong bond :’) It was a really fun time!!

This is not very well written or anything and is 100% thought/word vomit as opposed to a real report but it sure describes some of the events of the day so if anyone’s interested!!

I saw gero say there was gonna be 5000 people so I wanted to get there early, but I missed my first bus so I barely made opening…. I went all the way to the back of the extremely long line before some girls asked me what number my ticket was and I realised I was 382 and where I was standing was in….. like the 2500s…… So I walked all the way back to the front.

Akiakane's illustrations of their avatars lined the walk into the venue

I’m really glad I got in early bc i had leeway to get shit before they were all sold out!! I ended up grabbing ASK’s earcuff even though i had decided earlier that I didn’t need it….. People were heading pretty frantically towards his merch line so I was like Okay same. It totally slipped my mind to actually get his CDs though and now i regret it :( I wanted to look at the tracklists…. I grabbed the character T-shirt and decided that was Enough for now. I intended to go back when koge and ASK were actually running their booths but i was too scared of losing my spots in the crowd so i never did……….

Super cute!!

There was all that collab food but I wanted to get a decent spot soon so I only grabbed a STRONG GERO and headed to the stage. I immediately regretted this because now I had this fucking cup with me and no bottled liquid supply, but I made it work

And here are the stages!

utsu-P was the DJ for the first hour and he played tonnes of good oldies from niconico, both vocaloid and not! It was a lot of fun and he got us pumped up!! It really set that nostalgic mood…. Lon’s ochame kinou was in there too ;o;

In the first stage, they immediately got everyone on stage and sang Mind Craft! I was scrambling to identify several people LMAO but Koge was pretty easy just from the way he generally dresses, and ASK was flashy as FUCK with tonnes of accessories….. He’s so TALL OMFG he and Gom seemed to be about the same height? They got dasoku to lift himself up on their shoulders HAHAHA. People that super stood out were underbar and araki…… underbar is obvious because of his outfit, but I’d never seen araki before so i thought he was a really really cool lookin girl LMAO his hair was so impressive!! All styled and curled and bright red!

After Mind Craft were some solos and collabs!! Glutan was first but i don’t remember the song…. Hanatan was absolutely amazing with Romeo to Cinderella!! I was so impressed by her voice control omg she’s a goddess……. cleanero sang Cantarella together and they were super good too!! I love them so much… They talked about how it was their first collab together and basically how nero got into utattemita. Touyu solo’d Unravel and hit those high notes so well?! And then Matryoshka with koge!! in a later stage gero joked that the two of them looked like a hip-hop duo and koge said that out of all utaite (present?) he probably looks the most like a he can rap LOL. Gom sang World is Mine and he struggled a bit with some parts, it was pretty funny! As expected of that song…… Underbar was SUPER cute and so energetic?? he did This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee and changed the chorus lyrics to “underbar is? THE BEST” and the crowd was sooo into it, it was super fun! He did a duet as well, I think, but I don’t remember with who or what;; I think it was during this stage that Yugepo also joined someone for a Panda Hero duet while wearing a panda mask and ended up throwing it into the crowd at some point. tbh there are a whole bunch of performances that i’m missing it was such a whirlwind.

I was a bit off to the side during the first stage which was unfortunate because that’s where tissuehime was!! But, he came up to the front of the stage a few times to do his thing and he was reaaally goood!! I always loved his World is Mine!!!

In the second stage, it got a bit cramped because everyone was moving over to the front of the blue stage so i just kid of got pushed along a little…. But the dust settled eventually and there was enough room to move a bit. During the breaks, more of those classic NND songs would play and you could hear people singing along softly, it was a great atmosphere! They started the second stage with another group song! For solos, alfakyun sang Guren no Yumiya which was super fun to yell along with! she also sang ECHO in a duet with araki and rocked out pretty hard. Piko also did a solo here! Gero did a duet with ??? someone;;; and he came out wearing the character shirt…. It turns out the other guy was also wearing it under his normal shirt hahaha

At this point i was getting worried about dying of thirst at a critical time, so I made my way out of the crowd to hopefully very quickly grab some refreshments. I got two drinks and then decided that since i was out already, i should get some food too so i dont have to leave again. As i was looking for a place to sit, i see….. KONY?!?!?? HE WAS JUST SITTING AT A TABLE OMFG and the seat next to him was empty so I asked if it was free and then after a bit was like….. You’re kony right. And he was like yeah *thumbs up* but I couldn’t think of anything else to say in jp anymore so I just kept quiet and ate as other people came and asked him the same thing LFKGFK. I wish I had the presence of mind to tell him I love his singing voice… ;-;

Nero eventually appears on stage to sing JUST A GAME so I’m freaking out internally trying to finish my food and kony eventually leaves…… I joined the crowd again but things are kind of a blur from there til the end….. I can tell you nero was fucking amazing though. god i love his voice and singing for that song

In the third stage, Team Nicorai are first up, with Kogeinu, Pokota, ASK, Yugepo, Gero, and Dasoku! Gero poked fun at dasoku’s low tension and how he got banned from youtube for a bit, saying it’s because he was streaming every day lol. Pokota’s solo was amazing!!! He was ridiculously energetic and it was so infectious!! He’s so charismatic and pretty…. .Koge did Lost One’s Weeping and I was going absolutely NUTS I was so freaking happy!!! Near the end, he had to go an octave lower because it was just so ridiculous LOL but he really was amazing!! and he returned back to the high notes for the very end, so strong. (in his namahousou afterwards he said he wanted to do tengaku but then no one else was able to do Lost One hahahaha) ASK did Tengaku (i think he swapped his shirt from white/black -> black/red here for some reason??) which was GREAT and then!!!!! SUKIKIRAI DUET WITH HANATAN AAAHHHHHHHH THEY WERE SUPER FUCKING CUTE!!!! She walked on stage still holding a canvas shopping bag and had to turn around and put it back LOL so cute ;-; She was so good at making the cute interjections and he was moving all over the stage with grand actions and was even making flirting actions with Tissuehime…. I cant believe he seemed so nervous on twitter because hes definitely got some amazing stage presence…. He walked off at one point to grab a signed green ball to throw into the crowd! After that, Hanatan did Cendrillion with Pokotan!! Apparently they had never sung live together before this?! Which is shocking?! (Maybe it was just that they never sang Cendrillion together….. I didn’t listen properly….) but yeah, they were really good, and Hanatan hit all those high notes amazingly ;o; Yugepo sang Butter-Fly and we all sang the chorus along with him, it was so fun…… Yamadan came to sing something, and he threw a bunch of coins into the audience!

4th stage!! It’s time for pointfive!! They sang two songs together! [something] and Select Me! They talked about how it’s so amazing to have the group gathered together again, and how Dasoku hasnt changed at all (he really hasn’t). They keep teasing him about becoming a youtuber lol… Anyways he’s like, on the contrary, hasn’t clear changed a lot?? Because he was talking so much. He, in turn, complained that the rest of the group never says anything so he has to be the one!! For example, when they do their last words, the only thing the four of them have to say is “it was fun” so it leaves it on him to close it properly! But they just told him he should also just say “it was fun” and everything would be okay lol. clear did Little Travellersolo and they continued with the slower songs; dsk sang shinpakusu0822 and Mi-chan sang ???. His live vocals are so good…….
then. T H E N
dasoclear step out
and my mind is screaming MAGNET
AND IT IS MAGNET AND IM SCREAMING AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. They do the beginning just like their upload and sound fucking amazing but then halfway through?! GEROINTERRUPTS…… AND IM SCREAMING EVEN MORE NOW….. He jokes around with them and then mentions how he ALSO did Magnet with a guy named faneru and then NERUTAN’S VOICE APPEARS AND THERES MORE SCREAMING???? He’s backstage with a mic and he and Gero have a back and forth and it is revealed that he came all the way from Kumamoto for the event….!!! He also mentions Jack and there’s screaming but he’s like no no no that one’s not here though;;; They called faneru the voice in the sky and asked him to introduce himself and he goes RIGHT INTO THE BEGINNING OF THEIR MAGNET SKIT, PERFECTLY, WITH ALMOST EXACT INTONATION??? Gero swaps mixi for twitter and is like, “because now it’s twitter right!!” at the audience. I don’t know how this ended because I was too busy freaking out but eventually they get back to the song and Gero sings with DasoClear and they get the audience to sing too……Telling us to sing loudly so it reaches that voice in the sky… It was amazing

While I’m recovering from this blow to my life, that comes on and does another slow song. Then Halyosy comes out in an all-white suit and people are cheering really loudly! He did the slow version of konbini!!!!!!!!! He and that then sing Sakura no Ame together as Absorb :’) I think it was here that they switch places on the stage and That points and tried to direct halyosy into proper position on the stage?? pointfive joins them for one last song: Fire Flower! Thus ends the 4th stage.
Asamaru was really cute!! He was dressed very simply but nicely and is slim and small…. His face is also quite slim! He seemed kind of shy, too. Lots of people called him cute hahaha even other performers.

5th stage is Gero’s stage!! His band is set up and he rocks out to Two Breaths Walking, and then does a super emotional Just be Friends…….. I saw some people actually wiping tears away while he was singing. I don’t blame them, he sounded so so so so good?? During the MC part he talks about how he almost got married once…. And right after that he jumps right back into he rock LMAO he does alien alien with ASK (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and during his rap part he just danced without singing at all, I laughed so hard. Then, kinyoubi no ohayou with Gom! To introduce the song, he did an entire dumb horror story thing about how if you don’t say “ohayou” you’ll die or…. something LMAO IDK BUT IT WAS PRETTY AMUSING….. he kept using an ossan voice…. and then when gom walked onstage he tried to do the same…. Next was Ghost Rule with Araki, which was sooo good!! I think he also does akane-chanwith? glutamine? Then he does some of his own songs, which gom made for him way back when… the udon song was a blast to be a part of the audience for hahahaha. He tried to throw his towel into the crowd at the end but it just kind of fluttered a foot away from him into the stage edge…… So he picked it up, told us to pretend not to see that, and tried another time but it didn’t get much farther!!

To close, everyone gets back on the stage and they sing Smiling!!! I feel like koge and ASK got to sing a lot so I’m very pleased…. And there’s a lot of members there that could sing their original part so that was really fun to hear!! The final song on the night was Black Rock Shooter! They really looked like they were having so much fun on stage….. They kept pushing the mics onto each other and many eventually ended up sharing! I remember ASK and Pokota singing together for quite a while, and koge and dasoku also shared a mic! ASK was all over the stage, sharing the mic and hanging his arms around others, it made me so happy to see!! He really seemed to be having a blast. Someone accidentally knocks underbar’s hat off at one point but they retieve it quite quickly lol.

Then, it’s time for everyone’s closing statements. They all had the concert shirts on but koge just kind of hung his on his neck LMAO it was cute though… He let his hands hang from it too while everyone was talking. Koge goes first, and they go down the line. I can’t remember what exactly everyone said but they made me so happy…. There’s a lot of thanks to Gero, obviously…. And lots of hugging!! We shouted everyone’s names as they took their turn, and for clear people were shouting “kaichou!!” which got some of the performers to go “how nostalgic!!” The pointfive members talked again about how nice it was to sing together again….. Piko’s mic died at first so we were all ?!?!?! but I guess it turned on after that and it was all good. Everyone was being called -chan but with piko, gero called him kopi?? During dasoku’s part, gero said he dreams of rootfive being all together again, and pokota jokes that their dances are really tough so he’d have to work really hard lol. but it seems like the possibility is there so…. eye emoji. Marutan actually got Jack on the phone and holds the mic to the speaker?!?! he says “otsukaresama desu” and theres lots of screaming… Gero asks him to say more so he says one more thing: “mi~nna daisuki!!” and everyone’s like losing it, it was fantastic. I saw some people crying…. (in a post-live namahousou they revealed marutan had jack on the line with his phone in his breast pocket the ENTIRE EVENT LIKE WOW). Yamadan tells us he thought the coins he was throwing were chocolate so he put them in the fridge because he was worried they’d melt and get all over the place, but it turns out they’re plastic! They skip over Gom, who gero wants at the end, and go through everyone else! Touyu talked about how he’d always look at Chang Gero like “must be nice….” so he was very happy to be invited this time! Hanatan talks about her outfit; I think and she completely forgot to either plan her outfit or get proper shoes? I think she got some flip flops from the convenience store or something and everyone laughed. Nomiya Ayumi said that when she got the offer to participate , she was like, “Why me?!” because she hadn’t uploaded in so long. Gom was crying a lot and coul barely make his statement……. he got everyone to say “aishiteru yo” and he says it back!! gero then introduces his bandmates and gets them to say their last words! One of the members was also crying lmao… Another one forgot when he actually met gero (it was during a smiley*2 event) and Gero got right in his face challengingly HAHAH then!! then!!!! Faneru gets a last word too!!! Gero kept called him like… fakkun or somethign and it really threw me off lmao. He talks a little and there’s some screaming from one side of the audience…. I assume some people could see him from one side of the stage haha. He tells us to look up because that’s where he is… then tells us very gently that he’s doing well and i start crying so much….. They take a group picture and they split up the guys who show their face and the ones who don’t for the censor and there’s surprisingly few on the side that doesn’t!! koge, ask, marutan, hanatan, touyu…? gom? In any case, it was just a small handful… How times have changed…. And with that, it’s basically over!

Ah Kyouichirou appears on stage at some point near the end for some reason LOL and they make a joke about meatfive…
As they walk off the stage. underbar is jumping all over the place waving and he’s SO endearing???? I could hear people behind me murmuring that he’s really cute….. also ASKwas one of the last people the leave the stage….
On twitter later, I saw that akiakane, kaito (running ASK’s merch table while he was performing), and wolpis kater were also there!! And kony… I really wonder if there were others!

I had SO much fun, and just getting to hear nerutan again was already worth everything…. I’m so grateful to Gero for putting together such an amazing event with all this nostalgia and everyone’s singing was absolutely wonderful. I’ll never forget this!!
