Amuro Namie in Concert!!!
Ok, so I know I haven't been updating or whatever for the past several months...I dunno, kinda a mix of not having time and having bad uploading speeds that I don't have anything to post. :/
but ANYWAYS, I saw my idol/obsession tonight: AMURO NAMIE. holy crap I can die happy now ^__^
so like omg I finally get to see Amuro-chan live. I don't care if I dropped hundreds on the tickets and concert goods, it was amazing enough that I'm seriously considering going again in a different city XD
so before the concert, my friends and I made sure we got there early, like two hours early and there were already a lot of people there waiting to get in! they had a tent up that was selling the goods, like a circus tent to go along with the 'Best Fiction' theme. my friends were lame and didn't buy any concert goods, but I already looked online at what they were selling and already had a good idea of what I was gonna get and how much I was gonna spend. ^^; actually turned out to be more than expected cause I needed to buy the eco-bag cause there was no way I could carry all the Amuro goods ^^; whoops. oh well, money well spent I guess. I just dunno if I have it in me to open up the t-shirts and wear them... come to think of it, all the other shirts I got at other concerts are still unopened o_o
so anyways, with my bagful of goodies, we waited around until we could get in. right around the tent they had cutouts of Amuro-chan and you know the ones where you can put your own face in there? yea, they had three of those XD very embarrassing cause I felt that it was almost a crime to pretend I was Amuro lol. one was from her older VS Sassoon campaign, one from the Rock Steady PV, and one from the New Look PV. very funny when guys try to put their face in place of hers lol.
k, now getting in they had a booth where you could pre-order her upcoming hawt single "WILD/Dr", and if you did you got a poster. so of course I did XD I'm hoping that the poster will be of the same photo shoot as the covers to that single cause that'll be sweeeeeet. just gotta wait and see until I pick it up on 3/18. can't wait to see the PVs to that single ^__^
ok, finally we go in to our seats. fan club seats are all in the arena, but randomly given. unfortunately the tickets I got from the fan club seller was kinda more towards the back... :( still better I guess than being on the second floor in the waaaaay back, but it didn't help that tall people were in front of us. :/ people around us had binoculars, they were the smart ones!! concert started a little late, but omg omg omg I couldn't believe that I was gonna see her live!!
she started off with "Do Me More" with an intro video to go along with that PV, starring the little girl and fairy tale theme. so like, through the entire concert I was in a state of bliss and disbelief, so my emotions don't really change ^^; there was a time where it looked like she was sick or something on stage, cause she stopped singing for a big and turned away, but didn't show anything else after that. hope it went alright.
in total, she sang 26 songs by my recollection XD kinda sorta remember the order, but the of course sang all the songs off of "BEST FICTION", as well as older songs like "Say the Word" and her collaboration songs "Black Diamond" with DOUBLE and "Luvotomy" with m-flo. ^_^ outside of that, she sang "Top Secret", "It's all about you", "Violet Sauce", "No", "White Light", "Hide and Seek" and "Hello".
when the song "New Look" came on, she changed into a cute outfit and appeared on a huge high heel shoe with 3 of her girl dancers. thought that was cute hehe. liked the bar dance with "Sexy Girl" and how she kept the cool formation changes to "No". and omg she was so cute when she sang "White Light"! my friend said that she looked like a doll XD haha. and she looked really cool with her hood up during one song...can't remember what it was :( she can just effortlessly go from cute to cool.
the final three songs for the encore were "WoWa", "CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK", and "Baby Don't Cry". during "WoWa" she introduced the dancers and to end off everything with "Baby Don't Cry" was great. I think when she smiles when she sings she comes off as way too cute, makes me jealous lolol. I think everybody was singing along to that one XD it was amazing though, she didn't do an MC break at all during the show! only her clothing changes were her breaks. sheesh, continually singing and dancing...wow, just one reason I admire her so much. anyways, she only said a few things at the end of the show.
can't believe that its over!! nooooo, time passed by waaay too fast :( my throat was dry after singing along and yelling for so long, not to mention my legs after standing and straining to be on my toes to get a view of the stage! ho boy. Amuro-chan is just too hot, being 31 and singing well while dancing in stilettos... ::sigh::
so I have a quiz tomorrow and another concert to go to (this time its Aoyama Thelma) so I really should get to bed or studying. oh well, I'm still on a high from Amuro's concert so whatever :D
here's hoping that I'll update this more...only three months left in Japan...NOOOOooooooo.... but still have like 10 concerts left.
