Just came back from ... *drummroll*
全国４７都道府県 完全制覇！！ 関ジャニ∞ えっ!ホンマ!?ビックリ!! TOUR2007
My first Kanjani∞ concert!!!
It was like hell getting some tickets because I'm no family club member, but after browsing some forums at mixi I found Maki who sold me her spare ticket (ありがとうマキさん！ありがとう×1000！！ありがとう×∞！！！)
The first thing I realised when I got to Tokyo Dome: Colors! Bright colors. Japanese usually avoid wearing bright colors, but there everything was colorful and bright. Why? Because lots of people dressed in the color of their favorite ranger XD Of course, there were quite a few cosplayers too.
Sooo, first thing I did: Buy concert goods. We reached Tokyo Dome pretty early so it wasn't that crowded.
After we had some Maccha au lait (yummy) and talked about idols, soccer and different languages, Maki and I entered Tokyo Dome *dundundun*
Gasp at the line in front of the toilets - it would've propably taken an hour to get to the restrooms ∑(°Д°||)
On to our seats. Closer than I thought. やったー♪
I was really lucky to have found Maki. The ticket she sold was a FC seat - and a real good one (＾v＾)V
As soon as the lights went out the atmosphere changed completely - purple lights (the official pen lights were purple) everywhere, the ground was shaking and everyone started screaming.
Kanjani appeared on stage.
Everyone looked really good and was in high spirits (especially Maru - like always ♥)
Eito Ranger Skit
Story this time:
Blue has fallen in love and already confessed to that person (what nearly caused a heart attack for Red).
BUT he was told by her to wait for her answer.
On that occasion Purple asked the others whether they ever confessed their love to someone, and how their love confession would be like.
First to go was Orange, who started to show off and talked in a weird American accent, but when the (imaginary) girl arrived he got really shy and started stummering about how his feelings grew in the 2 weeks (!!) ever since he met the girl and stuff.
Of course his confession ended with 「好きや！」 (I like you in Kansai dialect)
Next was Red. Due to some misunderstanding he started singing 千の風になって(all of you who watched last years Kouhaku know that cheesey song about not forgetting dear people who died...) LOL
Well, his singing performance was quite impressive, but it had nothing to do with a love confession. When the other rangers asked him to talk about his way to confess his love in short (because he took quite some time singing XD), he started singing the song again XDDD
Well, in the end, everyone whished Blue good luck for the next day when he went to get his answer.
His "girl" was personated by a mannequin much taller than him ("dubbed" by some Junior).
First it looked like she would dump him, but then she said that she likes him too ♥
Hearing that Blue started singing, dancing, hugging and kissing the mannequin (´-`).｡oO(･････････)
BUT later that day Black found out that the girl is also dating another guy (a Junior) and only thinks of Blue as someone to play with. SHOCK
How sould Black tell Blue that cruel truth without hurting him?
First thing he tried: He confessed his love to Blue (° °;))｡｡ｵﾛｵﾛｯ｡｡''((；°°)
Just like: "I love you, so will you split up with that girl?"
That caused some screaming from the audience but didn't really change Blue's mind (though his face at Black's confession and hug was priceless).
So next thing Black tried:"You know, relationships are not allowed for Eito Rangers. It distracts you from saving the world."
Blue got really mad when Black tried to persuade him to split up, he started shouting:"What's wrong with you?? You rooted for me just yesterday and what are you doing now?? I don't get it! I HATE YOU!!"
And left the scene crying.
Le shock.
What's more, Yellow got really angry at the sight of Blue crying and slapped Black Σ(☉ω☉ノ)ﾉ
Yes. Crybaby Yellow slapped Black. *insert screams from the audience*
Later that day, Black met up with the boyfriend of the mannequin girl to ask him to split up and leave the girl to Blue ... And he got beaten up (again... LOL) But: Orange to the rescue!
It turns out that it was Yellow -who assumed the reason for Black's sudden change of mind might be something like that- told Orange to follow Black. Awwwww ♡(。￫ˇ艸￩)
Eventually, Blue also found out about the girl's boyfriend ... Heartbroken he returned to the other Rangers. But at least now he knows that Black just wanted to save him from that experience.
The Rangers tried to cheer him up and then ... they told him to go to her and slap her Σ(ﾟωﾟ｀)ﾋﾞｯｸﾘ
Blue went to meet her but hesitated when he was about slap her.
"I just can't slap women!"
"That's good. Violence isn't the answer" (forget who said that).
Nevertheless, in the end Purple slapped her ("I couldn't help it!") XD
Blue wondered if he would ever be able to trust a women again.
"Just look around, ther're 55.000 trustful girls, aren't they?" replied Green, pointing at the audience (*insert massive cheering*)
~END~
Yasu/Blue was sooooo cute ♥
Ryo/Yellow was surprisingly cool (well, this time Blue had the crybaby part) ♥ ♥
Tacchon/Green knows what a girl wants to hear ♥
Maru/Orange and Subaru/Red were ridiculously funny ♥
Yu/Black was once again suspected to be the bad guy XD
Hina/Purple was hillarious when he tried to justify the fact that he slapped a woman with some sickness XDDD
MC:
They talked about the difference of 恋 (Koi )and 愛 (Ai) - both are usually translated as "love" in English but they differ slightly in their meaning.
Maru tried to explain:
In the character 恋, the radical for "heart" (心) is below the rest of the Kanji (he's aiming at the fact that "Koi" usually refers to (yet) unrequited love or passion), whereas in 愛, it is "embraced" in the middle (meaning "Ai" expresses the love of two people for each other). Well put Maru!
Yu talked about how he was touched when Yasu suddenly said "Thank you" during a phone call the other day.
"What do you say thanks for?"
"Well, you treated me lunch today and I didn't thank you properly, so..."
Later during that phone call, Yasu told Yu:"Let's try our best tomorrow (at the con that is) as well. I like you when you're doing your best."
安君ギザカワユス!!! (๑＾艸＾)ｷｬﾊ♥
After I developed at great liking for Murakami lately, now I'm beginning to fall for Yasu! I can't resist that cuteness.
The MC was quite short because Hey!Say!7 showed up as special guests and performed their single. ... I would've preferred a longer MC instead... (-公- ;) チッ
I don't need some Chibis to tell me how wounderful it is to be born in Heisei era. What's wrong with being born before '89?? ヽ(o`Д´o)ノ
Random stuff:
AND THEN ...
During the last encore, Ryo ran to the stands and pulled someone up on the stage.
First, everyone thought it was some Junior, but then the camera caught his face and on the big screen you could see
UCHI HIROKI ＼＿(・ω・｀)ｺｺ重要
With long dark brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt, looking awesome.
Eito hugged and petted him several times, then Ryo took off his shirt (the official concert one) and gave it to Uchi who put it on.´
When Uchi was asked what he thought about the concert, he replied:"Everyone looked pretty cool!"
After the 8 of them dissapeared from the stage, the audience started shouting "UCHI" or "HIROKI" instead of "ENCORE" or "EITO".
And they reappeared. They held hands on the main stage. All eight.
Everyone in the audience did the same.
People started crying (and were still sobbing when we were back at the station) . As for me I couldn't cry because it's just now that I realised what I saw.
Kanjani back as 8? I hope so. Please, Johnny-san!
Pictures:
First of all: I didn't take any pictures inside the hall. Taking pictures and shooting movies is forbidden for good reason. ε=(｡・ˇд ˇ・｡)
My ticket ♥
My self-made uchiwa. It took me ages to get it finished, it wasn't as easy as I thought...
The front reads "Ryo", the back reads "point at me ♥" (at JE concerts sometimes they do what you write on your uchiwa as some kind of fanservice)
Tokyo Dome ... Well, at least the part of it that fitted into the picture...
Display in front of the hall.
The stalls where they sold the concert goods. More stalls (accessible only for those with a ticket) were inside the hall.
My booty XD
Ryo uchiwa, shopping bag, 3 Ryo photo sets, 1 Murakami photo set, 1 group photo set, T-Shirt, pamphlet, message leaflet, pen light ... They had new posters! I wanted one but Ryo was blond , but I had no idea where to put it on my wall, so I didn't buy it in the end (´；ω；`)
I won't sleep tonight.
