Tsuyoshi8joy's Rock the world...

Kyocera Osaka Dome 31 Oct (Sun)

Gosh! It's sure is a wet and rainy day today!!! But I am glad the rain didn't dampen the concert mood at all!!!

- I now know why "Sakura Sake" was taken out of yesterday 2nd day con!!! So that it could be the last day 3rd encore song!!!  Yeah! For the 3rd encore! But boooo!! I really like this song and wish it could have a more permanent place in the song set list.

- Jun today was totally teasing us about the 3rd encore!!! He keep pretending to want to go inside already until the fans shouted the word "encore" louder and louder!!!

- There are sooooo many rabu-rabu ^_^ moments between the members!!!

- At one point, Jun and Aiba turned to each other and KISSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Then both looked back sheepishly at the camera!!! Haha

- During Troublemaker song, Sho after making a heart with Ohno, again slowed a beat and comically tried to get between Aiba and Jun as they were forming a dance line *for the shake their butt part*.  Luckily Jun looked smilingly at Sho and let him come in between Jun and Aiba. 

- And this time Ohno was also slower a beat too. He was supposed to get in between Jun and Nino. So Ohno comically tried to get in. But Nino looked at Ohno and Nino put his hand on Jun's shoulder and cheekily refuse to let Ohno come in!!! Hahaha...  Then after that Nino laughed at Ohno! *CUTEE!!!*

- MC topic was regarding Halloween. Sho started off the Halloween conversation by telling everyone yesterday was Halloween Day and asked what everyone of the members were doing.

Now rushing to go back Tokyo, so I should only tell Aiba's version since it was the funniest!!!

- Aiba was in his room when there was a knock on the door. Then came in 3-4 juniors to wish him Happy Halloween. It was customary to give something back but Aiba said that there was nothing in his room to give. Then he suddenly thought that he will give money instead. So he gave money to the juniors.

- On hearing this, Nino's reaction was the biggest!!! Nino: HOW CAN YOU!!! HOW CAN YOU!!! HOW CAN YOU!!! So it was you who had spoilt the market!!!

- Then Aiba said that after a moment later... there was another knock and this time about 10 more juniors appear at his door!!! LOL  Aiba said he guess everyone must have heard that he is giving out money!!! Hahaha

- Jun was playing Johnnys intro quiz with 3 juniors. Sho was like saying... Ah no wonder I hear the song "Wave" and was wondering what is it about. Jun say the first song was Kinki Kids "Mystery" since he really liked the song.  

Ok. Will edit in more stuff...

Back from concert...

*Will continue to edit*

Gosh!!! Going to an Arashi concert as usual is a fantastic feeling!!! Just came back from the concert and the tension of the concert still have not left my body yet!!!

Yappari they made many many changes to the song set list. I still cannot decide whether I like the flow of the new arrangement of songs that followed one another or not. But one song that got added onto the list that definitely got my approval is "Carnival Night Part 2"!!! Definitely you cannot have a concert without putting this song in! This is such a "pick me up" song!!! I was quite disappointed when they didn't sing during Koku! But now  yeah!!!  

But they took out "Hero" and "Gift"!!! Argh!!! Those are my faves too! Well all the new singles are sung. I think it was great to hear them sing "Dear Snow" live. 

Somehow after Kokuritsu, I feel that Osaka Dome is a very small venue!!! It seems I can see the boys much clearer on the stage than in Koku.

Anyway, here is a short summary of the concert. 

- There are many rabu rabu moments between Riida and Jun. At one point, Jun went up to Riida and start to touch his waist. And Riida returned the favour and started to rub Jun's shoulder in a sexy way!!! Kyaaaaaaa!!!

- As usual, Nino is full of his scarastic charm & wit especially during mc. And as usual he bullied Aiba during the member's closing speech.

- So during the rehearsal time which I had heard the boys rehearsaling "Sakura Sake" and "Oh Yeah" turns out to the be encore part.

- You can feel Aiba's hyper-tension already even during the beginning of the concert.

- During mc, Aiba was telling us about his Holland trip. Which is so funny from the way he tells the story. 

- When Nino was introducing his new movie "Gantz" that will be in the cinemas from next year 2011, January 29, Jun was in a cheeky mood and he made fun of Nino by pronouncing it as "Ga-tsu". Nino was like saying "No, its Gantz! And not Ga-tsu". But Jun continued to pronounce as "Ga-tsu" and Nino keep on correcting him that its"Gantz!!!" many times. Nino say that there is something wrong with Jun's intonation. Haha...  (I think Jun is waiting to see if Nino will become angry. But luckily Nino have a high EQ and had remained calm about it.)

- The boys are all so kind-hearted!!! The area in front where I sit is where the handicaps are seated too. Everytime the boys passeby them, they will give extra fan service to these people!

- After finishing singing "Love Rainbow", Sho was like saying that was Jun's Natsu Koi drama theme song. Sho cannot remember Jun's drama name at all!!! He keep guessing so many time!!! Natsu Koi?? Jun: No! Niji Koi?? Jun: No!!

- I still feel Nino & Riida have the most chemistry on the stage!!! There was one part where Nino was pretending to catch Riida and Riida was trying to run away from Nino! I just love to see the two of them goofing around the stage!

- Ohno was mimicking Jun's performance during Music Station.

- While singing Troublemarker, Sho and Ohno walked up to make a heart shape sign with each other. After that I think Sho was slow-a-beat and he was quite comical as he panick and tried to cut into the group when they formed a single line during the dance part. Sho was supposed to be standing between Aiba and Jun and I think one of the them teased him and dont want to give way for him to join in. Hahaha

rehearsal time...

Ok! Bought my Dome towel (which I think the towel is quite big and nice. Will definitely use it!) and Osaka pins which is the color RED!!! Sho's color!?!? Hahaha.... or again maybe there is no meaning to the colors at all. But nevermind! It's RED!!! So I should treat it as Sho's color. Yeah!!!!

It was early when I finished buying my goods and then was loitoring around the venue taking photos of the Arashi flags. It's the same flags as kokuritsu... But still, seeing those flags again makes one happy!!! Haha...
 
And then all of a sudden, you can faintly hear some music coming out of the Dome entrance. Everyone who is around there, quickly rush to stand nearby. It's rehearsal time! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! The boys are inside the Dome (that's my thought...)!!! But after listen to a few songs, which were only music. There was no singing at all. So to my disappointment, I guess it's the band rehearsal time and not the boys!  x_x 

So after awhile standing there and I was ready to go off when the music for [Sakura Sake] started playing. I always like this song. So I decide to stay around abit more to listen to the music before going off. AND THEN!!! Quite distinctively, you can hear there were people singing!!! Kyaaaaaaa!!! This time is the boys!!! Gosh!!! I can hear Sho's voice very clearly! Especially when he was rapping!!! Kyaaaaa!!! So HIGH!!!

And then the next song the boys were singing is [Oh Yeah]. This time I can hear Nino's voice very clearly!!! Kyaaaaa!!! Feeling very very high now!!! In the mood for tonight's concert! Can't wait!!! 

PS: Hmmm... Sakura Sake and the followed by Oh Year. This is not according to the set list from Koku. Now I am wondering what are the changes made to for the Dome con. Ok I guess I will find out in another few hours time.

Typhoon  is reported to be coming tomorrow! Gosh! I guess it will be a wet wet & rainy & windy day for tomorrow concert. So anyone going for tomorrow concert. Please be careful.

 

Start of Dome tour...

Today is the start of Arashi`s Dome tour!!!

Gosh! Can`t believed that after Kokuritsu, time flies so fast that now is the time for Dome tour again.

I just reached Osaka and have checked into my hotel. Ok, I am off to Kyocera Dome to buy my Osaka pins. Very curious to know what color it will be!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Can`t wait to see the boys tonight yo!!!!! :)

So whose going!?!

Ohoku Stage Greetings 大奥舞台挨拶 2 Oct 2010 (Sat) Part 1

I went for the Ohoku Stage Greetings 大奥舞台挨拶 on 2 Oct (Sat). My movie started at 10.25am (2nd time watching) and after the movie ended, the cast of Ohoku came out and greet us!

The theme for the cast's outfit is black and red. Just like the logo for the Ohoku. And kyaaaaaaa!!!! Nino looked so good in his greyish checked suit and red tie. The material is those wooly winter feel. He just looked soooooo GOOD! As the movie theater is very small, I really can see him quite clearly. Major drooling for me! ;)

And the amusing part is, even when the movie theater is quite small, you can see lotsa fans using binos (me included!). So with binos, the Nino's version is really even better! XDDD The distance is really so much nearer than compared to seeing him during concerts.

The stage greetings lasted about 40min during which there was some things that I learnt about Nino's character. Its from the way he handle the questions, giving his answers that it give you the insight to how he thinks. It seems that I got to know a little better of the Nino (without the other 4 members around that sometimes tend to overshadow him).

Anyway its about 3am here! And plus I still have to wake up early to go and queue for Akanishi Jin's concert goods. Really tired so I will continue with part 2 later about what happens during the stage greetings.

In the meantime, here are some photos.

Lotsa of the media were at the stage greetings

Goods that were selling in the cinema

フリーター、家を買う Promo Poster on JR Yamanote Line

Ok today is Nino's day!!!

And advertisers are going out in full force to promote Nino and Arashi (as seen in my previous post).

Also seen new today when I took the JR Yamanote Line.  Nino's Fujitv drama <フリーター、家を買う> promo poster!  Kyaaaaaaa!!!  It sure fun taking the train and seeing Nino all the time!

At first I thought that they had put up a torn poster as there are tapes all over! But on closer look, its really the design of the poster. Real scotch tape pasted all over! 

New Kirin promo poster 看板

There is new Kirin promo poster 看板 today when you take along the JR Yamanote Line. I didn't see this 看板 yesterday.

大奥 movie pamphlet

My ticket for today 大奥 movie is in the evening, so since I have some time, I thought I will share some of the 大奥 movie pamphlet which is available for sales from today onwards at all cinema showing the movie.

Too lazy to scan! (which I am sure some kind-hearted soul will do so later...). So bear with the bad quality.

Only pictures with Nino are shown!

大奥‏ message from Nino himself!

Woke up this morning and got a message from Nino at 930am regarding 
his movie <大奥> 1 Oct 2010 roadshow.   
<Nino always loved to pepper his message with emo-icons! And he 
always use alot of spacing. Makes me kind of miss his 日記 days...>
