✦ 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!!!!!!!!!

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

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

XYZ tour’s Valentine’s Day performance, ladies only! This was the first performance for this tour this year, held at Shinkiba Studio Coast. Singers were araki, un:c, shoose, senra, nrqse, piko, meychan, and luz. It was a very packed setlist with very little time for any mc!

They started off with U.S.A. sung by piko, meychan, senra, and araki! And what a way to start it off indeed, the energy of both the performers and the crowd was crazy! un:c and luz sang queen of hearts aaaaa and luz and shoose did R18!! luz’s hair was so cute with the black and white, I really like how it looks. All his duets were CRAZY fanservicey omggg every time he and un:c would switch places he’d do something…… and with shoose they were seriously all over each other the entire time omfg they had their faces so close together several times and luz literally pulled shoose’s off his shoulder at one point... they kept feeling each other up wow…… Shoose also sang proto disco!! which I wasn’t expecting at all?! Meychan and nqrse did yomosugara, then nqrse did a very very cool happy halloween~ he and senra also sang nectar together. Senra and shoose sang cat eye make together and as they walked towards each other it looked like shoose was going to do Something but it seemed like senra panicked and patted him on the shoulder instead HAHAHA cute. Shoose always sings along without the mic during his duet partners’ parts….. He always looks so cool wheeze. Then he sang and danced to pink cat again and it was very difficult to…. breathe……. やばいよこの人…. He had really cool??? light up shoes??? as well. All their outfits were so flashy in general, I loved it! Then!! shoose and un:c did million dollar dreamer!!!!! Yayyyy I really wanted to see them sing it together again! They did the dance in the middle and everything and were super cute….. un:c also sang dappou rock with piko and chururira chururira solo!! Both great songs to pump up the audience! He was sooo cute and would dance and shake his hips a lot, I loved it. It seemed to get pretty hot because he threw his jacket to the ground at some point. Luz and nqrse sang Higai Mousou Keitai Joshi!! and araki and nrqse sang hello dystopia. Araki and piko sang ghost rule together, and then piko sang haikei doppleganger solo! At some point, piko and luz sang issin furan together. As you’d expect, they flirted a lot with each other while singing and piko full on laid on the floor while luz was over him…… then when he got up he KISSED LUZ ON THE CHEEK to thunderous screaming. Piko also sang haikei doppleganer! Then, there was a group gigantic OTN and then everyone came in for roki and secret answer!

For the encore, they started with deriheru and then went into the last mc portion! Shoose was talking very politely and kept bowing. un:c did his usual sex thing and they even had proper seductive background music for it but he started snorting halfway through the delivery LOL. Once he started talking everyone was like "ahh....." and went to sit down in the back of the stage..... piko in particular was completely srawled out on the floor just lounging about. After he finished, un:c made luz to do the thing as well and he took forever to get to the point and it really seemed like he didn’t want to say it LMAOO he eventually finished with “concerts are like sex!!!” to much screaming. They also kept pretending to be kradness for some reason, it was pretty amusing. He’s such a bright personality…. The audience asked luz to dance to USA too since he didn’t sing it at the beginning but araki said he was doing it all wrong and that he needed to lean back more, demonstrating. Luz then leaned SUPER far back and fell over…. He got up and dusted himself off with a completely straight face while everyone laughed and said “it’s because I did it with all my strength, ok” un:c talked about how he’s been dieting and nqrse was immediately like, “shut up. Shut up I’m leaving” LOL but he continued on saying that since XYZ he’d lost x amount of weight and was very happy with himself! It seem that luz was also on a diet, so they told us about their sad meals before the show. nqrse then cut in saying he had chocolate today :^) Piko did his usual thing and got us to cheer a lot and ended by telling us we all stank :')

They ended the night with CocktaiL~

It was an amazing way to spend Valentines day!! I'm so grateful.......

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hellooooo I went to XYZ tour 8/21!! The cast was luz, Araki, KOOL, Kradness, SILVANA, Soraru, nqrse, and Piko!

They opened with Secret Night!! WHICH I LOVE. A quick look around me told me there would be lots of blue and sure enough, soraru got the most ridiculous screams LMAO. He was then left to do a solo, Merry Bad End! He flipped us all off while singing the “nakayubi tomare” part it and was the best experience ever, 5000/10 thank you very much

The setlist was a lot of fun!! Soraru sang Charles and dueted inochi bakkari with luz!! When he was called, luz walked out carrying something and said soraru definitely wouldn’t wear it. It was a pair of sunglasses, and as expected, he put them on and was like “this is dumb” and put them down LOL but everyone was screaming…… luz solo’d lemon! SILVANA sang an acoustic for something that sounded really nice~ Someone sang alien alien which I LOVE! Piko sang oborozuki and it suited him a lot…. Araki and nqrse did ECHO and it was SO GOOD nqrse’s rapping really makes the song even better!! And his hair was so cute too…. It was almost just like his avatar! Curly and around the same length, but brown with pink streaks! He was super cute hahaha. Kradness was SO energetic!! I don’t know the songs he sang but it was really fun watching him and he got us all pretty pumped!! Two other songs that I got super super into were hibana, performed by araki, and ghost rule with araki+piko!! They were really fun to sing along to. Oh and Piko did haikei doppleganger SOOOO well, I love watching him get all hardcore LOL. luz and SILVANA also do a super cool thing with their performance where SILVANA acted as luz’s puppet on a string?! I was really impressed by his movements! they also had super close contact during that song, it was really Something

My favourite song was definitely Gigantic OTN….. Soraru, kradness, KOOL, and nqrse sang it together!! It’s just such a fun song and they got all of us to scream CHIN… chin chin… tokyo chin….. it was a good time…. They seemed to have a lot of fun with it and with each other on stage too
At some point after one of his solos luz takes of his jacket in a super showy fashion while standing on the elevated platform lol…. he looked super cool. Also I’m pretty sure he flirted with every single performer and some of the audience as well LMAO sasuga

For the encore, there were 3 songs! I don’t remember the first one but luz and SILVANA sang it, and then there was roki by araki and nqrse!! When they finished with that song, nqrse started speaking really weirdly and with super low energy and we could barely hear him LMAO but apparently he was doing a soraru impression, and araki followed suit…. And then they called the members onstage one by one, referring to every single one as soraru LOL they all talked like that so it was so hard to understand them!! kradness came out pretty early on and he tried to get us to cheer or something but we couldn’t hear him so when he faced the mic to the crowd he got nothing and was like, THIS ISN’T WORKING and reverted back to his normal self HAHAHA. luz walked on stage wearing sunglasses…… he went to grab soraru’s water bottle and drank out of it and said, “indirect kiss with soraru….” so people were screaming. When they called piko out, I think they said ahhh this one isn’t gonna play along BUT HE ACTUALLY DID FOR A BIT but gave up pretty quickly, it was great. Lastly, the real Soraru was called up and he’s just like, what’s with this, you all don’t sound like me at all, you just sound like you all got super big…… and he turned to the audience like, right?????

They each take turns closing! Soraru takes a drink and everyone screams kjghjfdhkgfkfd and he just kind of looks at us without much of a change in expression… Everyone somehow ends up mentioning soraru in their talks???? LMAO IDK WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT THEY WERE REALLY SHOWERING HIM WITH ATTENTION TODAY….. Araki talks about how he and soraru are in their thirties (i think re: how soraru was sleeping earlier?) and soraru’s like, no I’m still in my 20s (araki is too…???) and they talk a little bit and look to the left of the stage…. and KOOL is like, don’t look this way!!!! luz says something I don’t fully understand but the gist of it is that he wants soraru to ask us about himself and for us to call him “tensai”? he calls soraru up who has chosen to sit down on the floor and not pay attention LOL so he was just like what’s going on, I didn’t hear about this at all, what am I doing? and luz pulls him up on the raised platform and gets him to ask us! we all shout TENSAI and he’s like, “…hentai? they just called me hentai??” and luz is like NO and we all laugh so much….. soraru your ears…. please…. During SILVANA’s turn, soraru for some reason is making small gestures at araki who is right beside him and the audience screams a bit, so SILVANA turns around like what??? and turns to us asking us to please listen to him LOL…. KOOL said some people might not know one of the songs he performed very well, but the fun of concerts is that you can still get into the music (with everyone?). Piko was last and said something like he doesn’t know what to say!!! He ended up taking a lot and interacting with the audience though, he was so cool…! He asked the guys in the audience to cheer and all of like 10 or so voices and arms came up LMAO….. He singled out one of the dudes in the very front and asked him where he was from (Tokyo LOL) and asked him to use an “onee” voice along with him and the dude’s voice cracked as he yelled :')…. Then he told all the girls to try speaking in guys’ voices LMAO IT WAS A FUN TIME…. he got us to cheer a lot in the end too!! They talk about how kradness would have been a much better person to imitate, so a few of them make loud whoops… Then they made soraru do it too and it was REALLY CUTE………

Finally, the last song of the night is, of course, CocktaiL!! I really enjoy this song too~

Yay!

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!!
