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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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