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

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!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!”

Gero was turning 33, so he sang 33 songs!!

The stage was in the middle of the floor, with the band on the outside edges and a raised part where gero stood. There were mics for all of them so they could talk
He could basically turn around and face any direction he wanted when singing, so that was really cool! Most people were concentrated facing where the “front” normally would be, so he faced that way quite often
There was a giant light-up 33 on the back wall, and on the other side was a screen which showed each song title as they came up
At the start of the show, the band walked out from a place pretty close to me!!
I really like gero’s outfit! He had this long black jacket which looked super good on him, but he took it off pretty early on because he was sweating so much
He called himself crazy for doing 33 songs :’)
He did originals that he’s never performed!!
There was an original medley, an original ballad medley, and a jpop medley!
He also did a bunch of vocaloid songs~
The ballad medley ended with a metal version of love letter where he screamed his head off LOL
The jpop medley included USA and lemon!
Puyo actually joined gero at the top of the stage for one song in the jpop medley
He was talking about marriage at some point?
This led into him singing Panic at the Disco’s Death of a Bachelor! I was SO surprised at his English pronunciation?! He was super good
I really liked his scissorhands too
Apparently gero had caught the flu after the countdown performance, but he seemed pretty energetic, which was good
He made fun of dasoku for like no reason LMAO
He said he was NOT going to do a countdown live again this year, because it was so rough on him….. We were all like EHHH but he relented and said maybe he’d do something but definitely not the same way he did it last year…. Maybe just a group performance
For almost one entire song, he messed around on stage with the other band members, dancing in front on them with a stupid expression on his face
Before the jpop medley, they brought out a birthday cake for him!!
He also opened presents~ the band gave him a frieza plushie and some sort of figure?
He also got wearable speakers, a fancy eye mask, and an adidas jacket which he put on for the jpop medley afterwards! It was a really stylish jacket…..
The last 3 songs were roki, beloved survival, and the bandits!
He told us there wouldn’t be an encore tonight and we made a bunch of noise over that but he yelled back at us and was like IM TIRED I SANG 33 SONGS NO WAY
As they left, they ran around the stage giving people high fives!

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

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

Encore

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

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

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

Encore

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

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

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

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

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

ENCORE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Encore

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

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

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

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

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

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

I went to i-STAR FES in Shibuya! This event is spread across many different venues and features many many different performers from niconico. Due to time and venue capacity, I had to make some difficult decisions on who I wanted to see… Here was my schedule for the day!

un:c had kradness as a guest. For the special collaboration stage, the performers were taruchio/morudeo, taruchio/ajikko, ankler/fenikuro, piko/kradness, and piko/alfakyun feat. SLH! Gero’s guests were glutamine and alfakyun.

NORISTRY Stage
I didn’t go early enough to get into the venue for nori…… Instead, I ended up in the TV viewing area outside in the bar. His audience was quite mixed, and you can tell they are all so endeared to him…. We were all amazed that he filled up so quickly, and our outside area was very full as well;; He sang fixer, otome kaibou, tobacco, shoujo rei, inochi ga kiwareteiru, and roki!! A godly setlist tbh. Everything was absolutely amazing but tobacco in particular really took our breath away….. It was so emotional and I almost even cried myself, he was so powerful!! After the song ended there was silence, and then the guy beside me murmured “this guy is really amazing” I’M SO PROUD OF HIM….. he really is amazing live, and so adorable!!! His actions on stage are so cute and everyone always reacts with joy to anything he does. Shoujo rei also made me very happy, because I really love that song. I head he did the ballad version at MUSICARA later that night, but I really do like the original the most….. For inochi ga kiwareteiru, he said it was his first time singing it and was very nervous. He did end up forgetting some parts but he pushed through and still sounded very good!! Ending with roki, he did those growls amazingly! He also tried to take selfies during that part, cutie. My goodness I wasn’t even in the venue and I was still blown away by his entire performance. He ended by laughing and telling us that he’d be at the audition stage, then skipped off stage.

After having to wait outside for nori, I was very nervous about all the others I wanted to see, so I tried to head to the others as early as possible. I quickly picked up gero’s treasure tour bracelet (which I had wanted but couldn’t afford during the actual tour (;-;)9) and an i-STAR FES T-shirt, then headed over to see un:c!

un:c stage
This was my first time seeing un:c outside of XYZ!! While waiting for the performance to start, we could hear him and the band practising a little behind the closed curtains. I don’t know the title of the first song he sang, but it was a nice rock tune. I was also happy to see pasta there, in the band! un:c talked to us a little bit, introduced himself, and said he wasn’t going to do his usual thing because there’s probably many people watching that don’t know him too well and it wouldn’t be a good first impression of him. Everyone went EHHHHH but he insisted he wouldn’t say it. He sang platonic girl and taught us the motions for the stop/sit down parts! His way of talking to the audience is very cute…. He also did two duets with kradness! One of the songs was Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita and they taught us the song actions as a team! They talked about how long they’ve known each other and stuff as well. They really seem to get along well…... Kradness was wearing a really cute sporty/baggy outfit that suits his frame a lot…. after that song, kradness left the stage, and un:c sang some more solos. It think one was shiwa? He also talked to the audience again and eventually was cheered into doing his sex schtick by the audience, but he said it so embarrassed it was very cute. Also, pasta laughed so incredibly loudly when he said “sex” omg. He then got all the band members to introduce themselves. He said he had another duet to do, and we all went OOOH??!! and kradness stepped out again!! he came out like, “wow it’s been a while everyone!! how are you!! your faces seem so familiar!!” They sang a honeyworks song which they uploaded last year? Then to end, un:c sang chururira chururira dadada! It was super fun. He took off his jacket at some point and looked very cool….. He also danced a lot and shook his butt it was so cute lol

Special Collab
I stayed in the venue for the special collab! It got really crowded, probably from all the various fans and the people camping for monopale who were next. Tarachio and morudeo sang a song I didn’t know at all, but it was super energetic and a lot of fun! Then morudeo swapped out of the stage with ajikko and they sang that fighting dreamers song, which was also super fun! Ankler and fenikuro sand rain stops, goodbye and it was very pretty. Piko and kradness sang platonic girl, then kradness left and alfakyun came onto stage wearing the same patterned cardigan as piko?! Apparently they just happened to buy the same thing. They talked a bit (their chemistry is sooo good) and then called out SLH!! they gave the mic to karasu to speak and everyone kept shouting that he was cute :’) they also called piko cute, but then fakyun pointed at him and was like “hai, busuuu” They sang roki with SLH dancing next to them!! I was really pleased to see SLH because I had to miss them to see nori at the start. I love their choreo for roki a lot…. Thus ends this stage.

Underbar stage
Underbar is another one of those guys who is just universally adored!! He started with gigantic OTN and then yi er fanclub! Of course, those were his usual freedom versions, but then he did a ballad very seriously and sounded really lovely! He talked to us for a bit and asked who was seeing him for the first time. A bunch of people in the front row raised their hand and he was like, “It’s your first time? Wh-why do you have all that merch--”. He then taught us the actions for the next two songs! First was for kochira koufuku anshin iikai desu, which everyone knew right away hahaha. He was surprised and said, “wow!! it’s become famous, good!” He sang a song I didn’t know with the actions he just taught us, and then ended his performance with kochira koufuku anshin iikai desu. He really was so cute and an amazing performer.

ROOTFIVE stage
They opened with proto disco!! Kettan’s rap really is good……. I don’t know the rootfive songs very well but they were all really nice! There was a cat one… and they did nyan nyan motions. I know they do a lot of dancing but it still surprises me every time I see them dance LOL they were really good!! mi-chan especially did some unexpectedly good body rolls. They had a lot of time for mc portions, and spent a lot of it talking about others lmaoo. They asked if we had seen kony around (I didn’t see him all day u_u) and kettan said he was probably sitting on a chair somewhere… they discussed how they’re so concerned he’ll just drop dead one day and continued on for a bit before moving onto their next target, dasoku. They talked about how they were “missing” a member and that kawamura-san sings roki and charles every day at home and we all laughed a lot at that. They also discussed how mi-chan is so into tennis. Someone asked him if he liked tennis or singing more, and he spent a long time thinking before he answered that it depends on the day and that they’re so different it’s hard to compare. He considers tennis more of a hobby that isn’t associated with work, and asked the others if they had anything else like that. I don’t remember koma’ns answer, but kettaro’s answered pretty quickly with mahjong. They then turned to pokota and called him ojisan, then said his hobby was definitely collecting rakuten points. Apparently he’s really amassed a lot of points?! The way the discussed how he’d constantly be collecting them and what he’d use the points for was really amusing. They closed with merry go round!

Megatera Zero Stage
I wanted to get a god spot to see gero and didn’t realise until rootfive ended that megatera zero would still be performing in the stage gero would be at. I didn’t know him well but decided to check it out anyways, and he turned out to be really amazing! He just ended a song and was talking a bit when I walked in. He asked if anyone had birthdays today or tomorrow, then told them to stay where they were and that he’d go see them later?! He then sang this birthday song that was really sweet, and jumped off the stage in the middle and ran to each person and gave them hugs!! There were about 5 people, and first guy was right next to me so I was really surprised when he came charging in to embrace the guy. I thought that was super cool of him….. He also sang Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita! His performance was very much rock style, so I had a lot of fun! He’s got a super powerful voice and seems very comfortable on stage.

Gero stage
Last stage for the night! Again, the band and singer were practising a little behind the curtains before the start. People started singing along, and when they were finished you could hear gero saying “mmm it’s a good song” and half talking to the audience, cute.
They opened with his usual starting music, which I wasn’t expecting! He sang roki, outsider, nonsense bungaku, beloved survival, udon, and the six little bandits! The duets were akane-chan with glutan and something I’m not familiar with, with fakyun. In the middle of one of his mc portions, a girl in the very front seemed to have collapsed and needed help. When staff went over to her, gero also noticed and stopped what he was doing to ask if she was ok! He looked very concerned but still joked around a little. He asked if she drank any water a few times, and told us all that we need to take care during such long events. He then turned back to her and said, “Are you REALLY okay? Do you have water? Did you eat? …What’s your favourite food? [pause] ….. Mine is fried rice.” and we all laughed. He continue talking and waited until she got up and said she was ok before moving onto the next song ;v; a sweetheart! For nonsense bungaku, he wanted us to “dance” in a weird way by pumping both arms up and down?? and then he turned to pasta and tried to get him to do it and pasta was like, “pls not everyone in this audience knows me you not give them a weird impression”. He asked if anyone’s introduced the band yet and pasta said that un:c did it earlier, but since that was so long ago gero decided to have them introduce themselves again! Then, he called glutamine on stage and he came out “dancing” and everyone cheered. He had to charge over from his own solo stage, which ended just 5 minutes before gero’s started! Gero said that he told glutan that if he can’t make it in time it’d be ok lol. They talked about singphonight and I guess they sang akanechan there too?? They were very energetic and it was a fun performance. Then he sang with alfakyun, who was also super energetic! I really enjoy her dry humour. They yelled a lot in their song too and it really pumped us up! All his solos were also really good, as usual!! I had soooo much fun, especially with bandits at the end!

And that’s all for i-STAR fes! I didn’t try any of the collab food but piko and nori’s had sold out fairly early in the day… There were times when other performers would pass by as I was on my way to another venue. I even saw akatin with some friends, even though he wasn’t a performer! There was a board where you could write a message on a cute hot air balloon sticker and stick it there, and it had a whole bunch of messages from so many different fans! It was a really cool event and it was nice to see so many people sing in one day.

Held at Zepp Tokyo, this concert featured luz, kradness, gero, shoose, SILVANA, senra, piko, and meychan!

My ticket number wasn’t the best so I was a little far in the back…. I still went and picked up the tote, which I missed at Valentines, and was surprised to find out that it was actually a grab bag!! It was filled with so many goodies from past years -- I ended up with a t-shirt and towel from 2016, a handful of badges, un:c’s acrylic stand, and a few other things! It was really worth it.

They started with U.S.A! This time the crew was gero, meychan, kradness, and shoose!! It was really great watching them dance to it. Luz sang bittersweet, and this time I was finally familiar enough with it to really enjoy it. It’s a good song….. SILVANA did kimi ga ikiteinakute yokatta, and it was really good! I don’t listen to that song enough….. He also dueted otome kaibou with meychan aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I loved it!! and Alien alien with kradness~ kradness and piko did platonic girl!

GERO!!!! came in and sang Unknown Mother Goose perfectly, as usual!!! It’s been a while since I saw him and I missed him a lot so I was super super happy. He also was responsible for the one mc portion in the entire show, and also killed it. He made us laugh so much! He talked to us about summer zucchini party, and thanked us for all the green lightsticks. He said that SZP is dead now so they won’t be making an appearance tonight, but maybe possibly in the future they will [laughter] as, uh, zombies. He then called out all the people who go to lives and go crazy with the lightsticks for their favourites but then only wave a little when their fave isn’t up or even put them away and start fixing their hair LMAO I WAS SCREAMING WITH LAUGHTER……….. his imitations of those people and the faces he made were great and also He’s Right. He also asked where everyone came from, and if there was anyone from overseas! Someone from around the front said korea, and he was very surprised! He asked them who they were there to see while pointing at himself and nodding and I thought I heard them reply… KOOL…..??? He wasn’t a performer that night though so maybe I was mistaken…. it definitely wasn’t gero though LMAO he made his usual face and then asked if there were any others! Someone said “Hawaii!!” and he was like wow really!! “Sorry it was a lie!!!” and we all laughed. Then someone else piped up with Canada?! omg I started yelling a bit too but I was too far back..... shoutout to you my Canadian bro. He kept going back to them and the hawaii person throughout the night he was so stuck on it LOL. Gero also sang Udon, which I also missed a lot, and dueted something with meychan

Senra sang first lady, and then dueted cat eye make with shoose. At some point, shoose put his leg up on the little elevated part of the front of the stage, so senra pulled his pants leg up a little and was like, nice legs!!! Shoose then did his pink cat + dance and we all lost it…… as…. usual god he’s too much I can’t HANDLE HIM………. He also did a very racy R18 with luz and they were even more into it than at Valentines omfg….. caressing each others’ faces, grabbing at each others’ clothes, pressing up against each other LMAO THEY’RE THE MASTERS OF FANSERVICE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NUTS. For his solo, luz laid out on the ground to lots and lots of screams. Luz also did his duet with piko, isshin furan, and that was even more of a scene. About 2/3rds of the way through the song, luz pushed piko down until he was lying on the floor and straddled him for the rest of the song………. they stayed like that the entire time, still singing, until the song finished, then luz got up and gave piko a hand up, who was going “I can’t be a bride anymore!!” They talked about it in the mc later, but before the performance started I think luz already gave piko some warning that he was gonna do Something :’D. Piko also did haikei doppleganger and ghost rule!!! I also haven’t seen him in a while so I had a lot of fun with those songs!

Then, a group did gigantic OTN, and everyone joined in for roki and secret answer!! Shoose did the “shhh” part (I think he always does) and everyone screamed so loud…….. kradness was also super good in it!! Shoose also actually yelled for his part of roki, which was really unexpected! He sounded super good though…… it was pretty refreshing.

For the encore, they came back and sang Deriheru Yondara Kimi ga Kita, which was super fun!

Then, it was time for mc! Shoose was the first up, and announced his tour! Luz went up to him and asked him what the tour name was, and in that pause senra, in a very deep and suave voice, went “Deeper”, to the delight of the audience. They went through this another like three times with senra interrupting every time, and by the time senra actually let shoose say it, he could only say it in a small voice and laughed through it, it was very very cute. He wrapped up his talk and actually yelled his last few words very energetically?! It surprised everyone, even those on stage LOL.

Senra interrupting everyone became the running joke as they went down the line. Luz also announced his tour and senra said the title was “Deeper”, but after that luz didn’t want to say the actual title for some reason and kept insisting it was “Deeper” In the end he never said it and only spelled it out?? He also got everyone to tell him “aishiteru” but skipped over senra and senra was like “that’s ok, I knew it”.

Meychan also had a tour announcement, and told us about the date for his tokyo performance. When asked about his tour’s name, some (senra, probably?) cut in with “meychan’s party” and someone else was immediately like, wow lame. When he told us the actual title (it was a weird one) he said that some of the audience was making faces like they expected him to say it was another joke, but it really is that, please believe him.

Gero was introduced by luz by his full name LOL people had been shouting his kinjou & hiroki all night…… he started his talk by immediately pointing out a shoose fan in the front who had “くつ” (EN:shoe) on their lightsticks and turned to shoose like, you’re being called a shoe, you know??? what?!?! are you okay with that?!?! a shoe!!!! and someone tried to pipe in with “th…that’s because in English…..” but he had already moved on and was talking about how they switched the lightsticks and it now said “つく”-- “YOU’RE BEING CALLED TSUKU!!! [WILD LAUGHTER]” Meanwhile shoose was just standing there probably not knowing what to say LMAO. Gero also announced chang gero sonic and said that some of the participants of XYZ will be there! So many people shouted that they’re going~

Piko also announced his tour! But, when he went to announce the name, he paused for a long time, expecting senra to cut in, but nothing happened LOL. He turned around to senra like, eh? And they all laughed….. so he tried again while looking directly at gero, but gero turned his face behind and up into the ceiling LOOOL. I think his tour doesn’t actually have a name yet…? And when they asked him for the dates he got embarrassed because it just so happened to be the same tokyo date as meychan hahahha. He then did his usual thing and asked for the girls and guys in the audience to cheer! He also interrogated a bunch of the guys but I don’t really remember what he asked them anymore… he did single out a tall guy around the middle of the audience and commented on his height lol. He ended his talk with lots of egging us on to cheer!!!

They ended the night with CocktaiL for a perfect finish~
They all took a bow together while standing on the platform and said thank you at the very end but they were super scattered and we all ended up laughing! Then, they split to wave at the audience and gero had somehow gotten his hands on one of the green streamers that shot out into the audience and tied it in a bow around meychan’s head. Luz got the all together again for a more proper goodbye, and then they finally left the stage!

A concert to end the year of 2018!! First performance was a band performance featuring Gero and his band! Second performance was with a DJ and featured Gero and Team Nicorai (Yugepo/ASK/Kogeinu/Kawamura(Dasoku) + special guest Yumamiya)! This was held at Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE.

We were pretty far in the back but got decent viewing in the middle! Both of his tour logo cloth displays were hanging in the back. They did the usual announcements, but no one said the usual “はーい” in response to the first rule, so the announcer (I still don’t know who it is?!) was like, “y-you guys should at least say something? What about a “はい”??” So everyone laughed and did as they were told.

Then, the music started playing and everyone came out!! They started with BELOVEDxSURVIVAL, just like in his tour’s original day! He ended up doing like, a best of the best mix of both his tour days’ setlists. I loved it so much!! Of what I could remember, he did rainbow girl, unknown mother goose, udon, rinne, bandits, and hello! For hello, he said that during his tour he got everyone to grab each others shoulders, but this time he wouldn’t tell us when to do it. We all ended up swaying around arm in arm by the first chorus, but the rows were going different ways so during the break he laughed at us and said we were all バラバラ……. He started directing us a little until we were all in unision and then started joking around and went way too fast.

As for talk parts! He introduced the drummer, who was the main drummer for HoneyWorks! He said he was used to a completely different crowd because honeyworks’ audiences are usually teenagers. Kaizoku ou talked about how he’s called ouji at honeyworks events, so he did his thing with the audience which ended with “I’m everyone’s prince”, to which everyone started yelling and hooting. Gero then said that in a normal audience there’d be “kyaaa”s but because this was his audience everyone is just cheering wildly instead looool. Gero also told us about how pasta was going to be the DJ for the night concert! He mentioned daso- no, kawamura-san, and said he was so excited to see him and sing with him again!! He really loves that guy LOOOL he didn’t even bring up any of the others. He also talked about how he’s been feeling sick, kind of? Dizziness, or something. He asked if there was any doctors in the audience and I don’t think there was, but some people offered up advice from experience anyways! Someone said it could be from stress or fatigue and he was like HMMM I don’t think I’ve had any stress???? (we laughed) Oh but I’ve been fatigued…… Hopefully he gets that sorted out lol…..

The countdown tote + appropriate chang gero sonic 2018 badges

Reppin' the AsEver merch

For the night event, we ended up placing ourselves in similar positions to the afternoon event, but the venue was even more crowded than the afternoon, which surprised me! The mochi and kuji were sold out by the time we got there, which was kind of a bummer, but I already got the felt tote right after the first concert ended so at least that meant I didn’t have to line up! They gave us a money envelope on the way in, which surprised me a little!

Money envelope!

There was a screen up this time! For the countdown. ASK was the one doing the announcements, and at the first はーい he responded in a deep sultry voice いい子だ and you could positively hear the sparkles in his voice……. People screamed. He kept doing it with every response too…. He ended up going “皆いい子だね” and we all laughed…… You could also hear gero laughing in the background at one point.

They all came on stage and sang fire flower right off the bat!! I could see something on ask’s neck and it looked like a tattoo??????? I turned to hisame touching my neck and we just exchanged bewhildered looks, and did the same with linn LMAO WE WERE SO CONFUSED BUT DELIGHTED……

They did a few solos and duets and then it was already time for the countdown!! They started the new year with a group GOLD, because he said that’s what he wanted this year to be like!! They were given cup noodle soba? To eat. Yuge took one bowl, and koge took the other! Yuge shared some with gero and dasoku, I think, and ask looked like he wanted some too but koge was totally snorting his down with amazing speed and gave no indication that he was going to give any to ask?! In the end ask showed us his bowl and he had completely cleared it, soup and all.

I don’t remember when songs were done, but ASK and kogeinu did matryoshka!!!!!! yuge/ASK/koge did bandits, yuge did an original song which was really nice, and ASK did tengaku ofc. Yugepo also did butterfly! And gero/koge did hello dystopia. did dasoku did shinpakusuu #0822 which I wasn’t expecting but it couldn’t have been anyone but him hahahha. ASK and dasoku did inokori sensei! Right before they started singing they talked about how they never sang together before in an upload, and maybe even in concerts too?? They were really good though, I love that song so much…… ASK and yugepo sand cantarella!! Yuge put on a fancy masquerade mask and afterwards said he couldn’t see a thing because he didn’t have his glasses on, and then put them on right over the mask. Koge sang USA and both gero and yugepo came out to dance the chorus with him!! Honestly he was really good at the dance?! eventually, ASK joined them as well, and for the very last chorus they dragged dasoku out and tried to teach him to do it too…. he barely gave an attempt at dancing and we all laughed, especially gero :’) Koge also sang kanjou no pixel!! Both his songs were….. wow lmao. I think it was dasoku who solo’d flamingo, and it actually took me a while before I realised what song it was?? It was really good though. Kogeinu and dasoku also did a duet but I… don’t remember what!! At the beginning though, he asked dasoku what he wanted to be called because hes been confused and he was like “…..kawamura” “ah, okay, let’s go with dasoku then” KOGE PLEASE….. ASK sang STELLA from PLANETALE and asked us to let him be an idol for a bit….. he even…. DANCED….. VERY IDOL. He also did Romeo with gero, and gero did his “kocchi koi ya” and ask was like WHY. They talked about it afterwards and apparently gero didn’t do it during rehearsal so it totally caught ask off-guard…. Gero said he was dedbating doing it up until the very last minute, and then it sort of just came out LMAOOO I love him. For another one of his solos, gero said he specifically didn’t have this song in the afternoon performance so he could sing it now…. daijoubu da yo!! We all immediately started doing the actions and he was like everyone knows it!! Nice!! Then, they ended with Mind Craft for a perfect finish~

Then it was time for the encore. They all came out and gero…. Was leading someone out with his arm around his shoulder?! AND IT WAS YUMAMIYA!!!!! Everyone yelled and screamed a lot and I was like wailing into my towel….. I had totally forgotten that he was watching because I was having so much fun so it really shocked me to suddenly see him. He said he was watching from the second floor and actually made the hand motions and stuff, and that it was his first time doing so because he usually just watches? They all sang black rock shooter together, and yumamiya kept getting pushed to the middle by everyone… they’d throw their arm around his shoulder and lead him to the middle while still singing. After the song was a talk part! They made yumamiya talk first and he was like…. Why….. he said he actually really wanted to sing gold, so they last-minute decided to sing it again?! But first, they got through the rest of the last words. Gero kept asking when he would upload, and they were on this for a while, until he suddenly broke off to directly address the crowd and was like “I’ve never uploaded before, you know. Okay?” also someone in the audience at some point asked him to do an elmo voice and he was like” I have no idea what that means” BOI……… When they finally sand GOLD again they all did the same thing, trying to lead yumamiya back to the middle as often as possible because he kept tryin to escape to the sides….. he jumped up and down sooo much though!!! It looked like he was having so much fun…… someone had pulled his hood up over his head at some point and I saw him pull it down in the middle of the song and he clearly mouthed “暑い！！“ it was very cute….. He also legit danced at one point!! I guess they asked him to moonwalk?? Everyone cheered so loudly lol. There were also deafening cheers the first time gero put his arms around yumamiya while they were singing!!! I think everyone was really really happy…… I sure was.

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 XYZ tour on 8/27!! The last Tokyo day~ The cast was luz, Araki, un:c, Gero, Shoose, Senra, and nqrse! I had work so I was late by about a half hour :( But I’m glad I went anyways!!

I entered in the middle of ECHO, which Araki and nqrse were doing like last time! Gero came pretty soon after with Outsider and Marionette Lovers (whispers MIND CLUSTER). He had time for some MC and was absolutely INCREDIBLE with the audience, were were laughing and cheering like crazy!! I love him….. He joked about how our (green) lightsticks looked like zucchinis. He also mentioned how today was his last day with the XYZ tour, because his tour starts next week!!

I completely didn’t recognise un:c omfg I hadn’t seen him for a long while!! he had such a flashy patterened outfit LMAO it was very cute…..

For Senra’s MC, he talked about his own outfit and how he’s a zucchini LOL he was in a green jacket suit and like??? green velvet pants…???

Shoose sang U and then Pink Cat!! HE’S SO DANGEROUS OMFG he’d even dance to parts of it???? HE WAS SMILING SEDUCTIVELY THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS SUPER BAD FOR MY SOUL AND I KEPT HAVING TO COVER MY FACE…………… He also sings Million Dollar Dreamer with un:c!!! He’d pose at the left corner of the stage and smirk while un:c sang and they both got up on the middle platform to do a little dance for part of it?! OMFG THEY WERE SO CUTE they looked like they were having a lot of fun!!

Today’s gigantic OTN crew was gero, meychan, un:c, and nqrse!

For one of the group songs, they all stand together in the middle and sing the last part together!! but someone is crouched down clung to luz’s leg LMAO it was either meychan on un:c? Also when they introduce the bassist and he steps up to the front, nqrse yells “so thin~~~” and goes up to rub his leg

First song for the encore was performed by gero and meychan, who ran onto the stage in cutesy pastel maid outfits!! They wear bob wigs and everything…. They tell us they are Summer Zucchini Party and gero keeps making stupid faces and bending over in what could have been a cute pose LOL. At the end gero apologises to meychan’s mom and it becomes a running joke through the rest of the show as others also apologise to meychan’s mom. At one point gero lifts his skirt all the way up to flash us (the petticoat is still down). During MC, someone asks SZP what guy is their type and gero chooses araki!! meychan, after some thinking, turns around like, “shoose~” and they both go hug their boys… Then luz looks left out so he goes to hug nqrse who is beside him LOL

SZP say they have a big announcement: it’s un:c’s birthday!!!!! They bring out a cake and un:c is so surprised. He says during rehearsal he knew they had an announcement and was wondering what it was, but didn’t expect this at all! He even chokes up a little while making his speech and they tell him he cries too easily :’) He makes some joke about how during performances he and the audience both feel good so that’s basically sex right!!!!! and then someone brings up that since he did a duet with shoose that means……….?! Shoose’s expression was so funny here…. I can’t describe it but it was super entertaining.

They take pictures and then i think that's when SZP go back to change, leaving the rest of them to kill time!
For the start of Shoose’s MC a bunch of people call out very encourangingly “shoose-san kawaii!! ikemen!!”
There’s one really loud guy in the audience that catches luz’s attention so he banters with him for a while and asks him where he’s from (Nagoya). He tells the audience that it’s cool when you can meet interesting people like this during concerts. Meanwhile the guy is doing like? claw gestures? and un:c/shoose/nqrse are behind luz imitating him LOL they were so cute…. Speaking of that group, un:c kept walking past shoose to whisper things to nqrse while others were talking…?? It was very cute

meychan announces that he’s doing a one-man live at Zepp Tokyo on Christmas day!!! Upon hearing that, araki and senra walk up to him arm in arm in their red and green outfits and everyone cheers lol. luz jokes that XYZ should have a christmas performance and meychan’s like, please don’t!!!!

They end the night with cocktail as usual!!

(I looked up the setlist afterwards and found out that besides missing secret answer I also missed shoose singing cat eye make with someone and R-18 with luz…… lies down)

I went to C94! It’s a long story but I basically only saw Rogero Cras (ASK/Kogeinu/Gero/Yumamiya) and High and Low (96neko/Touyu)!

I woke up at like 6pm the day before and hadn’t gotten my letters written yet so I did not sleep (: Caught one of the first trains to Tokyo Big Sight and at 6:30am lined up for the West Hall where all the music stuff is, and sat down to write the rest of my letters to rogero cras…… The girl next to me had a 96neko towel and merch

At 10:00, we were finally let into the hall!! I was pleasantly surprised to see that rogero cras’ table was almost RIGHT next to the entrance!! I headed straight there but there was already a line building so I was nervous about getting ASK’s necklaces….. From where the line initially was, I could only really see ASK! He was in that same skull shirt from CGS~ I caught a glimpse of koge too but he was in a hat and mask….
They ended up moving the line to a better place (i think they did not expect that amount of people right away) and gero managed the beginning of the line while a helper organised the rest of us! Koge and ASK manned the table, handling a line each. I ended up in ASK’s line! Gero joked around with us telling us that this was his part-time job and fanned us a little, he was really cute!! They were being SUPER efficient and I was so worried about stock and having the right amount of money because I was going to be getting so many items (for both me and a friend) that I was sooo frazzled and shaky when it was finally my turn LOL AND ASK IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND TALL AND WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME AND SPEAKING TO ME SO GENTLY………. MY BRAIN WAS COMPLETELY ZAPPED…… I shoved eight letters at him and tried to explain that my friend gave letters too and he went through them looking a little surprised? I don’t know if it was because we both included mami or because of the sheer number LOL but he took them quickly and then i bought almost the entire table of goods….. I felt like a crazy person but he spoke so gently the entire time it’s still in my mind??? HE’S REALLY SWEET…. As i was pointing at everything I wanted, I was also partially distracted by koge’s voice right next to me;;;; It was really weird to hear this voice that I was so familiar with so clearly….. Anyways I think ASK quickly realised I was a foreigner because he said a number in English (asking how many of something I wanted) and when I left shoving the goods into my backpack he said thank you in English as well and I gave a surprised thank you back!!

I then rushed off to find High and Low as fast as possible because I was done with the first table unexpectedly quickly but their table was a lot harder to find….. I ended up losing my passcase+house key in my own idiocy which delayed me even more….. I only realised once I finally located their table, so i looped around and I looked for it a bit and went to lost and found but it wasn’t there, so I gave up and returned to line up.

THEIR LINEUP WAS OUTSIDE, LOOPING BACK AND FORTH…. it took me a full hour?? But that’s expected of such a powerhouse circle LOL…. halfway through, i heard squealing and turned around to see two girls fangirling super hard and one was almost crying omg…. they were wearing 96′s merch so I assume they just saw her and I smiled…. i was luckily in 96′s line!!! It seemed they were taking it a lot slower than rogero cras and were taking the time to talk to everyone so I felt a lot calmer…. I asked for what I wanted and then fumbled with the money a bit and then stood there for a beat too long because I wanted to say something to her but had nothing because I didn’t prepare myself beforehand;; She was so cute though!! she was also wearing a mask and had dyed her hair a light purple! She was also sooo calm I didn’t get a good look at touyu because I was so focused on her LOL I was so sad to leave I wanted to talk to her…….

But I really did have to go because I was getting increasingly worried about my keys….. I combed the area I was wandering earlier over and over again and kept checking with lost and found as well to no success…. As a result I got to pass by rogero cras a whole bunch of times HAHA i hope they didnt notice…… When their table started to slow down, I went up to gero asking if I could get their signatures because koge said the day before on his stream that it might be possible, but he told me no ;-; and he said sorry to me in english?! then i returned to on-and-off searching for my keys and resting because I was Dead Tired

After they sold out, I missed them giving away the poster but quickly went up to koge who was free (ASK was talking to someone else but I didn’t even get a look at who) and told him 「 “お疲れ様でした！！」and then realised I had nothing else and ran away LOL…. i heard him laughing a little in confusion as i left.
I stayed all the way past the douijn halls closing (4pm) til 5 to wait for all the lost and found to be gathered, and in a last-ditch attempt enquired one last time…. AND RETRIEVED MY PASSCASE!!!! OVERALL A GOOD DAY!!

I then headed straight home, fell asleep on the train, and immediately opened Mind Cluster to listen to mind craft and nonsense bungaku!!! AND THEY ARE SO GOOD!! THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS SO GOOD PLEASE BUY IT IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!! FANERU’S SINGING HAS LEVELED UP SOOO MUCH AND THE SONG SUITS HIM PERFECTLY!!!! AND MIND CRAFT IS LOADS OF FUN!! THE LEGENDARY FOUR FINALLY SING TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! IT WAS WORTH EVERYTHING!!! EVERY OTHER TRACK IS ALSO AMAZING!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!!!

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!!
