There were few events today. I was on the first or second one. It was really hot and crowded. On first floor (where I was) everyone was standing, while on second floor there were seats.
Also, when they asked the fans who's from Kobe, most raised their hands. However, there were also many fans from Aichi (Nagoya...) ^_^
About 20 minutes before the event started, they played the Chankapana PV (again... I really start to get sick of it...). The event started at 12:00. The members came and did a short MC. Massu had a small ventilator on his neck, and Tegoshi and Koyama were drinking all the time. They were making fan of Shige's vampire song. They started doing acapela and danced around Shige... Koyama was singing Shige's rap at the beginning of the song. Tegoshi said that it was the first song in yesturday's concert (it's BGM). There were also teasing about Tegoshi's solo - they made him sing and dance the last part of it, and teasing about Massu's solo's name (Peakaboo...), and Koyama sang little part of his solo. But through the whole event, the teasing went on Shige's solo :-)
Later there was a quiz game built from 5 questions. First question was to give 4 NEWS songs that has "no" in the title. Massu and Koyama managed to give only one, and Tego didn't even try. Shige managed to answer it. The second question was NEWS songs pazzle. They were given a sentence and needed to find which song is it. Shige managed to guess that one also. The third question was Intro question. There were two songs. The first one NO ONE of the members managed to guess (unlike the audience...the members all tried and guessed uncorrectly and the audience were like "EEEE?!"). They needed a long intro for that and Shige guessed correctly (no one of the members ran to answer). The song was "Push On". Shige tried to sing it but he couldn't remember the lyrics. Tegoshi said they never performed it live, because it's a coupling song (all audience knew it was the coupling of Happy Birthday), so he asked the audience if they want them to perform it. Everyone was screaming "yes", but then Shige asked "how can we perform it if no one remember the lyrics?" hmmm... Anyway, the second intro both Massu and Koyama ran to the buzzer, but Massu was faster and guessed NEWS Nippon. Than he started singing and the audience joind him and NEWS with the singing. The fourth question was the "junken champiion". Started with Tegoshi vs Shige (Tegoshi won) and then Massu vs Koyama (Massu won) and then Massu vs Tego (Tego won). OMG for Tegomass!!! Their movements were really big, and Tegoshi put his head on Massu's neck to get some cold air from the ventilator. He said that his neck hurt after this game.
After the quiz were the prizes: 5 stikers, 5 posters, 1 signed picture (Shige wrote the name of the winner) and one signed poster (Tego wrote the name of the winner. Massu drew pircing to Koyama...). When Koyama chose the numbers for the stikers, all members went behind him and weggied* him. OMG for his face!!!!! when he finished he went behind and fixed his pants. Than he came to angree at the members, but Massu huged him from behind and lifted him (KYA~~~~!!!). When it was Shige's turn, he was writing the name of the winner and it was shown on the big screen, and suddenly Tegoshi started playing with his fingers in front of the camera (walking fingers) and playing with Shige's hair, but Shige didn't respond, so Massu went behind him and weggied him. Shige finished and laughing really embarrasly...
Third part was questions from the audience. The questions were really smart (comparing to other events i've been to or heard about...). Each member chose person that would ask the question. First question was how do they cope with pressure conditions. Second question was what are their types of clothes while picturing to magazines. Third question was if their room is clean and get advices of how to fix the room. Fourth question was from a little girl that asked if they have fight among the members.
Fourth part was when they said their thanks and thoughts to the audience (like at the end of a concert). However, there was one condition: you can't repeat a word that other member said. If you do, you get a shippe from all the members. Koyama got twice and Shige got once. Poor Koyama - he tried to run away from Massu XDD And Tegoshi was the first to give shippe to Shige, so he came with to fingers and started wandering around him, and soon the members joined him, untill they did him the shippe.
Fifth part was the mini live. They sang Full-Swing (I think that's the name...).
At the end they said they'll do handshaking, but the responsible person came and said that it might be impossible since they are allready 40 minutes behind the schedule and the other event already waiting. But since everyone wanted, the handshaking was really fast. Can't believe I handshaked with all NEWS members!!! OMG for their smiles (except that Shige was too serious...). And Koyama's hands are so big!!! And I managed to say "arigatou" to everyone and they all replied! Though I don't understand why Koyama and Shige were surprised... Anyway, we've been told to keep it quite because the other group deffinaly won't get handshaking because of the time (yeah, right... They handshaked all three events in Tokyo and told everyone to keep quite...).
They stopped the event 3 times pecause 3 people collapsed (it was really crowded and hot in the first floor), and the members allways told stuff like "it's gonna be O.K" or "please drink now" or "is it too hot? is it possible to turn on the aircon more?" or "NEWS fans are great and care for each other". Tegoshi and Koyama kept drinking through all the event. At the middle of the handshaking they stopped again because one person collapsed, and Tegoshi and Koyama told everyone to keep their body and drink a lot. I think that when 4 people collapse in an 1.30hrs event, they should make conclusion for the next events...
* Wegy (not sure about the writting), for people who wondered, is when you take other person's pants, while he wears them, and pull them up. Looks really painful (not to speak embarassing...).
