Hikikimori demo FES ga Shitai at MetLife Dome! Performers were mafumafu, soraru, luz, araki, un:c, nqrse, senra, urata, shima, sakata, eve, sou, amatsuki, and shounenT! the secret guest was meychan
  • The lineup for goods was CRAZY long. I got there around 10/11am, but they were telling us even then that we wouldn’t make it for the start of the show if we lined up at that point? The show started at 3pm……….
  • I decided to try my luck anyways!! The line started from near the dome, but the actual food and merch was far away in a baseball field……. The line split when you got there, but the goods line still wound around and around
  • There were flower stands lining the walkway to the dome, but there were also a bunch at the baseball field!
  • Someone in the line faaar away from me had stuck on of amatsukis puppets on a stick and was waving it around above the crowd…. I thought it was funny
  • I waited for hours but it became clear that I really wouldn’t make it in time…. I left the line about 45 minutes from start and grabbed un:c’s collab drink instead, since the line for food was really short! It had an…… interesting consistency……… it sure matched the name
  • There was a big banner with the promo illustrations at the entrance to the dome! Inside, there was normal arena food.
  • My seat was on the arena floor, but almost all the way in the back! The cart passed by pretty close to me, at least
  • There was a countdown to the start of the concert, on the big screens at the front!
  • For each portion of the performance, the screen would show what group was coming up next. Between each portion was a small break where we’d all sit back in our seats for a few minutes


Amatsuki/ShounenT
  • Amatsuki was the very first up,with his backup dancers! He was so energetic and cute…. He really brought in the high energy from the get-go, and I was super impressed
  • He seems like the type of act that’d be a hit with younger kids
  • T-kun joined amatsuki for some duets, then did some solos!
  • He brought his guitar to play
  • He was very soft :)


USSS
  • Oh boy there was lots of shrieking behind me for these guys
  • They had one original where they had a bunch of swordfighting going on?! It was super cool and they had stuntmen doing backflips and shit all over the place i was blown away by the showmanship
  • There was this moving platform that they got on for a song and it moved OVER the audience to the middle of the arena?! It was so cool omfg
  • They sang senbonzakura and the energy of the audience was pumped to max!!!


EveSou
  • Eve sang nonsense bungaku ahhhhhh!!!!! I was really happy to hear it from him!
  • Sou was very small and cute!! You could feel his refreshing youth
  • The two of them dueted quite a bit of nayutalien!


XYZ
  • XYZ started with Alice in NY and???? MEYCHAN WAS REVEALED!! I was in such shock i just kept going WHAT??? WHAT??? As I strained trying to get a good look at them LOL
  • I’m really happy though!! I didn’t think they’d sing it because they were missing him, but I guess this was the plan all along
  • Performers for XYZ were luz, araki, un:c, nqrse, senra, and meychan!
  • Luz’s outfit was so good…. Apparently he chose it to match the Alice in NY illustration! A white suit with red half gloves, excellent
  • Nqrse was also in white, which I found kind of unusual! He looked really good though
  • I also liked un:c’s outfit!!! It was very casual but showy! red shoes!!
  • They did a non-stop medley of songs from their usual setlist and it was LIT AF I JUMPED AROUND SO MUCH
  • Meychan, araki, un:c, and senra did USA
  • They performed deriheru and gigantic OTN on the moving platform!!
  • There was a lot of chaos amongst them while they were on there LMAO lots of waving to the audience and messing around with each other!! I’m pretty sure I saw someone kneeling for someone else at some point… it was probably luz and unc during deriheru but I don’t actually remember……
  • There was something wild going on with luz and senra too
  • un:c was like half whipping off his jacket off his shoulder…………..
  • When they returned to the main stage, they sang CocktaiL to end their portion!


After the Rain
  • Soraru came out alone and sang some solos!
  • He sang Eureka, but it seems like the speakers werent working? We couldn’t hear him and i could only hear the band very very faintly….. He didn’t notice because he had the earpieces in, so he continued singing until like the first chorus
  • He had to stall for some time while they got things fixed! He mentioned that something similar happened during his tour earlier this year, so this feels kind of nostalgic
  • He sat down on the stool kind of old-man; straddled it and then squatted down
  • He almost pulled his legs into a crisscross but the audience made an endeared fuss at that so he noticed and stopped LMAO
  • I really do like eureka
  • Mafu joined him on guitar for ai fake me!
  • They were wearing inverse colours, which I thought was really neat! Soraru in all white, mafu in all black
  • They did some duets after that, then soraru left he stage and mafu did some solos!
  • Mafu told us to call out “the red guy” for a duet with him, and then amatsuki walked out telling him he really needed to be more specific because there was definitely more than one “red guy” guest that day?! (he specifically brought up araki but there’s also sakata….)
  • They sang kamatte choudai on the moving platform!! They even danced and were so cute omfg i think they did nya poses?
  • When i first saw that platform, I was wondering if they were gonna make soraru ride it as well, but i guess they spared him LOL


Encore
  • This was the group portion of the performance!
  • Secret answer was sung with XYZ and AtR!
  • I think un:c did sekihan’s death metal scream?! Which surprised the heck out of me
  • The entire cast joined in for super nuko ni naritai, on a moving cart that went around the arena!!
  • They were all made to put on the cat hoods
  • un:c knelt down for someone to put it on him
  • I think mafu was at the front, and luz was at the very back! It was a really huge cart so it was hard to see everyone…. Besides those two, I remember being able to see meychan in particular
  • Mafu wouldn’t let anyone take off the hoods until after the commemorative photo hahaha
  • After the photo, everyone started taking theirs off but luz just kind of stood there with it on, staring at us?
  • Last words from everyone!
  • Soraru: when he goes to see other peoples’ performances, he always ends up wanting to see that same view from the stage, so going to mafumafu’s one-man yesterday and then immediately being able to perform on the same stage today was like an instantly granted wish
  • ShounenT: he called the dome melonpan and then everyone after him down the line adopted the name as well
  • Luz: he called the hikifes participants the Avengers LOL
  • Araki: he used to play baseball as a kid, and mentioned something about dreaming of playing at the dome? But now he’s singing here instead
  • They finished with world domination!!
  • un:c and araki looked like they were having an absolute blast singing together to the side of the stage, they were like arm in arm
  • Urata was getting piggybacked as everyone waved goodbye, then he got off for a bit
  • Luz then picked him up for a piggyback and carried him offstage at the very end LOL

i went back for merch after he performance and the line was much more reasonable!! I was able to get everything I wanted so I'm pleased... I just wish i had some of it for the actual performance LOL
It was a really fun night!! They're all such impressive performers and it was cool to see so many of them together in one place

This was an concert held by Wolpis Kater (Carter???), Sou, and Isubokuro, at Tokyo Dome City Hall!

I was a bit late because I’d had a hell of a week, so I missed out on all the kuji and the LED bracelet ;-; but I still got the tshirt, which I love a lot, and the towel!! The arena area was actually quite spacious, enough to put all your belongings on the floor, actually!





The three of them came out in full kimono outfits and everyone screamed a lot! They started with dappou rock and streamers came flying out! I was close enough to catch some and tied them to my pants hahaha. They did a few songs that I knew, but actually a lot of (I assume) newer vocaloid songs that I wasn’t too familiar with! I’d like to go through the tracklist at one point because I really did like their song choices…..

The three of them were all very cute!! I’m not too familiar with sou or isubokuro but isu seemed to be the tsukkomi of the group? And wolpis is wolpis HAHAHA he kept called him ojichan and I was like weeping because I’m older than him….. He talked about how young the other two were and how he gets tired much easier than them. He even asked how many people in the audience were over 18 and about… a quarter of the room maybe raised their hands?! I was really surprised! But I did see some very young children later on so I guess that’s the type of audience they’re used to! He went on to say that after you pass 18 you really start to feel your age…. I mean…. I GUESS…………. They discussed how old isu and sou were and sou wouldn’t say his age, but he did say his first upload was when he was in his second year of middle school! Wolpis also talked about how he had fallen kind of sick right before the live and was so worried, lying in bed going “what should I doooo” but it seems he made it anyways!! He sang roki with someone and at the lyrics about getting sick everyone laughed…. At one point during the concert her flipped the audience off but I don’t remember what it was specifically over. They changed outfits into street clothes halfway through with a band intermission, and the band really got to shine! There was a guitarist who was soooo into headbanging and getting the audience to clap so it was very fun watching him…. Some of the others followed suit as well! Of the songs I remember, I know they did kokoronashi, uchiage hanabi, and kami no manimani!

For the encore, they talked about the live t-shirts (they’re super cute!!!!) and how much isu liked it. When the t-shirts arrived in preparation for the live he wanted to wear them out but was told that would be impossible hahaha. Isu was on the right side of the stage, but somehow walked over to sou in the middle and was hanging around with him there during mc while wolpis was still way far to the left…. Halfway through, he realised how close they were and was like WHY ARE YOU SO CLOSE THAT’S NOT FAIR I’M GOING THERE TOO and they told him to go back lmfaoooooo. They played a giant popup pirate but as the pirates head was being raised it turned out to be ke-pon, complete with pirate face makeup. He wouldn’t smile or react or anything?! Wolpis insisted he wasn’t a real human but when isu went up to put his sword in a slot, the pirate slowly turned to look at him and isu couldn’t stop laughing. They survived one round without any issue but I think isu was the one that lost in the second round?! The pirate popped up and he was shirtless with あけおめ written down his torso….. and they went into their last song, ai no katamari!! At the chorus, at the very moment they said 愛, ke-pon would turn around and 愛 was written on his back LMAOOOOO. The second time this happened, wolpis turned around and noticed what was going on, and I guess he had no idea that was going to happen because he broke down laughing and couldn’t sing?! He spent a lot of the rest of the song turning around to watch him do it again and point him out to the band members lmfao. And with that song, they ended the concert!! They took pictures, and ke-pon climbed out of the popup pirate setup, still with an unchanging expression, and marched off the stage…. For the very last goodbye, someone went into the backstage and dragged him back out, and that’s when you could see him laughing and trying to escape lol it was very cute. I can’t remember if it was here at the very end, but wolpis was the last to leave the stage and he flipped us off as he was exiting LMAO.

After the event, I went back and got the tote bag and an omikuji! I ended up with one from sou~
It was a really refreshing way to start the new year! I had a lot of fun and would definitely like to see them again sometime.
