Ok... just came back from today's concert + arashi-kai dinner.

WARNING

This post is full of spoilers..

I don't know what to say about this tour. Perhaps TIME was too good, but things are in a total mess for this concert. The opening is very good and kakkoii - all dressed in black. Each member does their own dance in their section, and I thought it was very *cool*

The *PARADE* is a disaster. WHAT HAPPENED?? It this a colaboration of Johnnys and Universal Stadio (USJ)??? Their costumes are super duper clown-ish. I think Ohchan's is the most acceptable, and Sho-kun's being the worst. Sho-kun's collars are segmented and up in the air. Nino looks like he is wearing grass with flowers popping out everywhere. Aiba-chan looks like he is drowning in his costume, especially the blue cloth around his neck @_@ Jun.... let's just say he looks good in anything. They appeared after a circus performance by female dancers, M.A.D, and Juniors, in the order of Jun, Nino, Aiba-chan, Ohchan and Sho-kun. They even sang Everybody zenshin in those costumes... (without dancing), which I felt spoilt the really good song : ( 

After the parade and a few songs was the MC. Omiya disappeared and re-appeared as Omiya SK. I thought Jun-kun and Sho-kun were just about to do a Hanadan Conto.... Omiya suddenly appeared and did their usual taka being centrifuged conto and danced to the wasshoi wasshoi omikoshi/omiya sukoshi theme. It was great seeing Omiya LIVE (as I didn't go to Osaka for April dome last year which was the last time they appeared/VTR) The audience also stood up for Omiya, which Jun-kun commented about later (He was watching the audience's reactions backstage) It was sort of like testing out how the audience would react to Omiya SK. Nino talked about how they've been told so many times to STOP doing Omiya SK. He also uttered... most new Arashi fans who got Hana yori dango -baited into liking Arashi don't know about Omiya SK. Anyway, when they disappeared, there was a big 'EHHHHH' from the audience. Ohchan told Nino that they could possibly return on stage to do another conto, but switched his mind the next moment.

Apparently Sho-kun has finished filming Yatta-man. It's ready to be edited/CG-ed. I have to say.. Sho-kun really gained a lot of weight. I don't know at which stage he filmed Yatta-man, but he could be already quite chubby in there XD He talked about how the opening for VB Yosen is tomorrow, and members teased him asking whether he's practiced enough (vb) for tomorrow.. lols He did an air spike and fell.

Okay.. getting quite late, so I will skim through the rest.

Ohchan solo - he's not dancing much this time. He has already taped the dancing scenes and have them on the monitor... : ( That was quite unfortunate.

Nino solo - it's pretty nice. I think I like the performance the most out of all the solos. He was wearing a black suit with some red and white patterned shirt inside. I don't quite understand what that licking his finger and pushing it on his neck is all about XD

Aiba-chan solo - extremely cute! It's Aiba-chan style, and very himitsu-like. His costume was cute too - Pink x Black checked, hoddie, shorts.

Sho-chan solo - Uh.. costume =_=;;; not too appealing (to me) The dance was quite nice though. He didn't seem to have a problem with his injured foot.

Jun solo - we all knew he was going to strip. But I wish he had only taken off his outjacket and not everything.... He's slightly more chubbier than kakushitoride era. The dance was modern dance.

The confusing theme ECO - Ohchan starts talking about how the tote bag is ECO. We are all confused. I would understand if the profit for the bag or goods were going to contribute in saving the environment or something, but it was lead to the song Green, made by Arashi. It wasn't a very catchy song. It was just the most awkward thing for the theme ECO to suddenly appear.

The concert ended very early (2.5 hrs), and it was most probably because they had planned a long encore. But the first thing that is shown to us during the first encore is a caterpillar/bug (character for this tour) VTR. Yes.. it's cute, and it's Aiba-chan's idea, but ... it doesn't really fit into the tour.

For the next encore (after a few songs) Arashi appeared hung down from an air balloon... Sho-kun stayed still for the entire time while the others rotated around and around. Jun was talking about there is something that will exceed MJ walk in this tour - I wonder if he's talking about this air balloon... They did fight song while hung from the air balloon too.

So all in all, my buddies and I are all a little unsatisfied about this tour : ( Maybe beacuse it's the first concert for the tour, things haven't been made concrete yet... but how much more can a tour change when it's so short and all in domes. I'm quite sure the parade will happen in all venues... X 0  Omiya SK may not appear anymore as that was what they were saying today. What a pitty! Members, especially Sho-kun and Jun-kun must have been very very busy prior to this tour, so perhaps their opinions were not included? Anyway, we shall see :) I hope to see improvements!!

Good night!

Before we all get into a huff why certain songs are not in the concert list (especially the lack of A.RA.SHI), remember this:

CONCERT MEETINGS

N: I think Jun looks very good when he is in the middle of meetings for concerts. He has all these ideas coming out of him.

A: There was a time when Jun got sick and went home. So the four of us were left in the middle of the night- And it was the day where we had to absolutely decide on which songs to put on our song list.

N: And if the four of us couldn't decide on what songs, he would get angry at us...

M: No, I wouldn't get angry yo (laughs).

A: We were in a fix that night. We could decide on the songs but we wanted Jun to confirm it too. But he wasn't around.

S: Without Matsujun, the meetings would start to fall apart...

N: Yes, it was becoming all fluffy. Then, when we realised that we were in a fix, the first thing we did was to open the windows- Because the smell of curry stank up the place!

S: It was all my fault (laughs).

So we know WHO are to blame for the song choices. Credit to mochi for the translation.

PS: Oh fangirls, being spiteful just because you cannot in a million years be onstage with Arashi to backdance for them... Tsk tsk green really does not suit you. It would just make you look like a frog.

got me rolling on the floor with laughter :DDDDDD
one of the funniest commercial i've ever seen, by Ryo Kase who acted with Nino(Letters from Iwo Jima) n Sho (Honey n Clover)

Eh what's an Arashi concert without singing A.RA.SHI? :(

where will all the Ohchan molestation go to?

the happy part is that Ohmiya SK is back. :) i really really hope someone fancams it down. unless JE decides to be really really lenient this year and stuff it into the DVD. well, one can always hope.

Finger licking? Nino must be watching Jin in Kattun's new PV. ROFL.

I'm okay.

Burst into tears at the sight of SS, but after calming down, I do really kinda deserve it. And so it is. Sigh...Things happen. And life goes on. Somehow.

Slept at 2.30am last night, with many funny things happening between me and dad. He kept waking up when I was typing things (mostly testimonials) furiously. Cause the keyboard's real noisy, like taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka. We really should go buy a quieter keyboard, how's a child going to hide the fact that he's doing other things other than work? Hahaha.

Results... are crap. I mean, I shouldn't be rubbing it in for some others (sorry..), but I know that I could have done better. Sigh. It's back to the grind of doing after chinese Os.

Speaking of, if I don't blog finish faster, I will be sleeping at 3.30 am tonight :OOO. Work work work piling up, got to clear it out!!

OHNO'S GOT A NEW DRAMA CALLED MAOU WITH MY FAVOURITEST OTHER NON-ARASHI JOHNNY'S TOMA!! Yay!! I mean, that's something I can hold onto. Maoumaoumaou! -information provided by the great jesline (:

I'm so tired, and I've got lessons non-stop from 7 this morning till 9 when tuition ended. But I have to keep walking.

Keep going.

Thanks, everyone! You've really helped me alot

笑菇，谢谢！下个星期你去马来西亚要享受哦！
