[CONCERT REPORT] HSJ ASIA FIRST TOUR 05.04
I haven't remembered a lot but I'll try to write as much things as possible!
NOTE: A lot of spoilers. And a lot of munekyun moments? xD♥ And I am so sorry if there are grammar and/or spelling errors!
BEFORE THE CONCERT
YokoAri was covered with huge curtains-like things saying HEY! SAY! JUMP ASIA FIRST TOUR. There were also images of cherry blossoms here and there. We heard previews of a lot of the songs from the album!
Around 10 minutes until the concert, juniors start appearing (as in out of the blue and everyone was going kyaaa without even knowing what's happening). First comes the Michael Jackson jr, the boxing junior and Jinguuji Yuta wearing a karate uniform. They distributed origami-like papers to the fans in front.
Then Iwahashi Genki comes wearing a baseball outfit and does catch-ball in the center stage and other juniors appear like Kishi Yuta (he just wore a t-shirt and danced around), Haniuda Amu (walks around), Kuramoto Kaoru (he was on a skateboard if I remember...).
While the juniors arrive, Kouchi Yugo says "HEY YOKOHAMA~" and tells us to look at the side screens where JUMP (probably recorded) were making "origami tsuru" (papercranes) and in the main stage, there were instructions on how to make one and they asked the fans who brought a paper [fans were asked to bring this, actually] to make papercranes.
Then Bakaleya6 (minus Shintaro and Hokuto) go on stage and Yugo says "ARE YOU READY TO MEET JUMP?!" and then the lights go off and the concert begins!
~~
ULTRA MUSIC POWER
JUMP introduce themselves and say things like "ARE YOU READY?!?!"
And now hairstyle check!!
Yamada, Chinen, Yuto, Keito, Daiki, Yuya, Inoo, Yabu: As always | Hikaru: WHAT IS WITH THIS MAN'S HAIR IT IS ALL FRIZZY AND LOOKS LIKE BED HAIR I COULDN'T CONTAIN MY LAUGHTER TBH XDD
Jonetsu JUMP
In some parts of the song fire comes out from the main stage and makes the arena very hot.
SUPER DELICATE
They change their costumes into the kirakira blue one and they do SUPER DELICATE.
And as expected Yamada and Yuto do their thing and the fans scream.
There was one member (either Chinen or Yuto) who didn't make it in time for their line xD
TIME
It was a revised version. There were pauses after every few lines and in those pauses they split into 1 or 2 and dance. Some were in the center stage, some were in the back of the arena, everyone split up.
STAR TIME
Before the start of the song, Yamada says "We want you to cooperate with us. We will ask you to turn off your penlights in the middle of the song."
And before Yamada's solo part of the song, he says "Please turn off your penlights. When I blow into the mic, please open your penlights starting from the back of the arena."
And so starting from the back of the arena, the penlights open one by one and it was so pretty. The penlight color this time was pink and there was this sort of wind sound effect so everything seemed even more beautiful.
[7/BEST CORNER] Utauutau → Hana egao → Ganbaretsugo /Suriru → Get → Score → Snap
Utauutau and Hana egao are both 7's songs that will be in the next album.
In the middle of Ganbaretsugo 7 goes to the center stage and then disappears and then BEST comes out instead and Hikaru says "shigekitekidaze!" and they disappear then 7 comes out again but in the back of the arena and sing Get then they disappear AGAIN then BEST comes out AGAIN then they sing Score. Then it's Snap!
During Snap, the main screen showed a slideshow of BEST when they were young.
First, a group picture. Then Yabu's pictures, Hikaru's pictures, Inoo's pictures, Yuya's pictures then Daiki's pictures.
In the end of the song they say "let's reenact the group picture!" and they do and that picture gets displayed in the main screen.
Boku wa Vampire
Lights go dark and BEST says "where are we~?" and then Daiki gets taken away (actually, carried) by the Bakaleya guys and goes inside this vampire coffin.
But instead of Daiki, Yamada appears as a vampire and says "I'll suck the blood out of all of you♥" and the crowd goes seriously wild.
This isn't the kind of song you hear from JUMP. It's going more on the adult-side. But the chorus is fairly easy to remember though I forgot it lol orz and a lot of munekyun parts! Fire comes out again in the main stage as well.
Together forever
Ballad song!!!!!
Perfect life
Before the song starts, Keito plays the guitar then Yuto starts playing the drums then Hikaru's base then Yamada comes out with a saxophone and he is really good at it!
Perfect life is written by Hikaru and it's a very cheerful song.
FLY
Juniors and Bakaleya6 surround the walkway!
Magic Power
~MC~
･They make announcements like the tour they'll have during summer and JUMP's album.
･Someone says "BEST's song is going to start with an S again!" and everyone goes I KNOW RIGHT and then Yabu says that if BEST does a medley it'll be called an "S medley" automatically xD
･According to Yabu, he named the song Snap because the song is about seasons and memories, just like how the slideshow during the song was, so it basically means to "snap pictures/memories".
･Yamada's song is about the relationship we fans and the members have. And Hikaru jokes that it's a "triangle relationship" with Yamada's mom because he's a mazacon and all that.
･Hikaru speaks but he receives no reaction from the audience or members so he goes "eh?!" and then goes "KEITO~~" and blames it on Keito for no reason xD
･Keito says 「後ほど披露するヒーロ」("we'll be performing (hirou) our new song called Hero" no pun intended it seems) and the audience laughs. He tries to explain the message behind the song and he says "the hero thinks he is everyone's hero, but all this time, his hero was ~you~" and the audience and members go "fuuu~" and Keito gets humiliated.
Keito also says that the first verse of the song is pure English and the members complain "it was so hard to do!" xD
･Chinen confesses that his shoes went off and he couldn't place it back properly so he tip-toed
･Hikaru promotes his drama and Yuya promotes his but he messes up--
"(while looking up as if he's trying to recall the info) every Saturdays at 24:50, Nihon terebi, Shiritsu Bakaleya...Gakuin!!"
And the audience and members go "EHHH?!" and then he says "sorry, it's shiritsu bakaleya koukou!"
And he messes up once again--
"I'm in the drama with juniors (and from this point you can guess he will fail) Shintaro, Hokuto-kun, Taiga, Juri, Jesse and...Juri!" and everyone goes EHHH again and he realized it and said "Oh, Kouchi!" and he gets humiliated xD
･Yuto says something to Daiki but Daiki says "Yuto do what you just did to the camera! You don't have to show me that face, I see it everyday" and so Yuto does the same thing but over-reacts it and tries to act sexy xD
Tsunagu te to te
Sam to pinky
Both new songs. Sam to pinky is a dance number!
[YabuHika+juniors] Himawari no melody → Singin' for you→ Stompin'(?)
Videos and pictures of YabuHika when they were juniors were showing on the main stage while they sing with the juniors.
[Kyomoto Taiga+Lewis Jesse] Yoru wa hoshi wo nagameteokure
Surprising but not so surprising duet. Taiga's voice was amazing but I couldn't hear Jesse's voice much...
[Bakaleya6] HELL, NO
Juri raps in the song!!!!!
[NYC] Haina
Yuma appears and juniors surround the walkway again wearing "festival" costumes and Yamada says "please do the choreography together if you know it!" and everyone does the dance steps together. And NYC as usual fools around <3
~JAPAN CORNER~
Right after, Yuma is left alone and then a spotlight shows in a part of the arena where Yuma is looking at and it's Inoo flying!!
Other members (I don't think everyone flew) also flew.
Yuto then appears on the main stage and does the waitaiko (Japanese drums). The members arrive there and they do the wataiko together. The drums then sparkle in different colors xD
Hurry up!
They head to the center stage and there was a huge blanket held by the juniors.
It's a sort of kakkoii-type of song.
Shin.gi.tai
(I know a lot of you were flailing about this xD)
Still in the center stage.
In the middle of the song, juniors take JUMP's place and sing it. The main jr was Taiga.
Mayonaka no Shadow Boy
A translucent-ish blanket covers the main stage and then the song starts. The main stage had a video of the members (solo cuts each) with their member color (I think) in a black background singing to Shadow boy. Then the members appear and they wear the same thing from the video.
When Yamada says "shadow", the video has him soooo up-close and the fans scream. Same with Yuto when it was his turn.
Beat line
OVER
Hero
The first verse and practically the chorus was in English. There was no dance, just the members roaming around the arena.
Dash!
Yuto was in a moving stage while playing the drums and stops in where I was at! (I could hear his drumming without the mic *_*)
The audience and members were going "hai! hai! hai!" in the middle of the song (this is because of the members doing it once in a concert before xD). Bakaleya6+juniors surround the walk way.
~Ending~
Yamada talks and says that "the reason we asked you all to make paper cranes is because we wanted to let everyone remember this day and after a lot of thinking, we all decided on this idea."
Yabu also talks about something similar to that and says "I looked at the paper cranes from yesterday's concert and I was told that by the end of the YokoAri tour, we will get 15,000 paper cranes."
Thank you ~bokutachi kara kimi e~
The lyrics of the song appears in a slideshow along with photos of the members during dance rehearsals.
In the middle of the song, the slideshow says that the pictures were taken by Yuto!!
Arigato ~sekai no doko ni itemo~
~ENCORE~
Hitomi no screen + School Kakumei
In the encore, Daiki says "we want you to cooperate with us one more time! do you see the small windmills around the arena? please use for uchiwas to blow them!" and so we blow them and they work! Quite tiring haha.
Then JUMP gathers around and says "oretachi ga~ Hey! Say!--" (audience: JUMP!) and it's over.
~EPIC MOMENTS~
･There were a lot of flying acts this time and Keito and Daiki did one flying stunt together which was surprising.
･Daiki was with a lot of juniors in the walkway during one song and he was too close to one junior so the junior had to show him the way to his original position xD
･When Yabu's baby pictures were shown in Snap, the camera was on him so when everyone saw the pictures and kyaaaa'd, Yabu did his wide grin and was so humiliated ♥
･In the slideshow of Thank you, the pictures of the members were so hilarious. Inoo's up-close picture, Yabu doing some sexy pose, pictures that have strange angles, it was so fun to watch!
･Yamada appeared from the doors at the back of where I sat and went down the stairs so I was so close to him that I could almost touch him and here's my description of what he looks like seriously, as in seriously, close: I said this to my flist already but xD HE IS SMALL. REALLY SMALL. His eyes were huge and kirakira and he had that idol aura. Up-close, he really is so flawless-looking. He is "the idol."
This concert was way different from the first day so report from the 1st and on this day aren't the same so much. Nonetheless I had a great time and realized that JUMP really do their best to respond to each and every fan. They also do their best to make sure that the fans from the 3rd floor could also have a good time. You can also feel how close they are through the slideshows and MC. This is what is great about JUMP :D
Thanks for reading~
