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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really random bits:

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

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

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