KaT-TUN
Tokyo Dome, July 17th
So, to fill in things I missed yesterday.
Senga is the 4th person for Koki's solo. He and Nika disappear toward the end and leave Kitayama and Taipi to finish the dance.
Junno's solo is directly after, and he's backed by Nika, Yokoo, Tama, and Miyata. The other three appear on the other side of the stage and skate across.
Kisumai changed their costumes for almost every song from yesterday. Only the green and the army park were the same, I think. Most of the other costumes were the same, just worn for different songs. They didn't wear the purple/red/gold at all today, and Tension pink made an appearance (but not as a replacement, since they were switching around songs). They sang their corner yesterday in the gold costumes, but today in the red suits WITH scarves.
The opening song also had all the juniors, Kisumai included, adding red and white scarves to the black cape things. I guess it was hard to see them in the dark in all black? I have no idea. But they seemed to have some trouble, because when they danced some of them got tangled in the material (especially Tama).
Kame's bit with Taipi and Tama was similar again today. Taipi leans forward a bit so that Kame can lean back against him, and Tama follows. Today Kame was mostly stroking Tama's face and then his side a bit.
Massu (NEWS) showed up as a guest and chilled with KaT-TUN for the MC a while. Kame started singing Miso Soup, so Massu joined and Nakamaru threw in a beatbox and they did the whole chorus. Kame said next year they should have a KameMasu tour. Also some juniors who came to watch came out on stage, too, although just during the pre-MC song. There were five of them, but I could only identify Masuda Ryo and Kikuchi Fuma. The other three look familiar, so they're probably on Shokura, but I don't know their names. They seemed a bit lost. Kame leaned over and whispered something to them and they didn't seem to get it, but then Kitayama came running over and was like hey, follow me. He led them around the stage to the area where they could get down and then kind of ushered them off and back to their seats.
There was also a point when Kisumai was leaving the stage and the spotlights were on KaT-TUN, but for some reason, there was a random spotlight on Mitsu, too. Whoops. ;)
Kisumai talked about the Shibuya ads, and mentioned the fact that they all have their hand covering their face in the shots except for one poster each. I don't know if they know this from experience (Yokoo was the one who said it) or if they just heard about it.
Little moments today include Tama and Yokoo dancing together, face to face on the walkway, just grooving together. Funny. Oh, yesterday there was a junior posed frozen with his hand out to his side and Yokoo went up and placed his palm against the junior's and froze with him. Back to today. During ONE ON ONE and Hello, there were two groups of Kisumai going in opposite directions around the stage (well this was a common thing, so they'd stay spaced out sort of evenly on the stage, but pass each other once in a while), and the group going one way, Kitayama, Senga, and Miyata, kept each stopping randomly to dance at points. The group going the other way all just kept walking and waving and stuff.
When Nika passed Taipi at one point, he switched from waving to the audience to waving in Taipi's face, and Taipi laughed. Senga passed Casey and they were making random gestures at each other like they were having a girly slap fight. Senga swung his palm towards Nika's face at one point as they passed and Nika leaned back and dodged it sort of Matrix-style, so that Senga's hand passed above his face.
During Peacefuldays, Nika started jumping (like last year, awwww), and gestured to both Tama and Miyata to do it with him, which they did. When they all finally stopped at the end of the song, Tama turned to him and waved his hand all nooooo again and looked at Nika like he was crazy.
Tama also made little moves while he was walking sometimes, like his hands out in front of him, mimicking his steps. Or doing the airplane half-heartedly so he looked more like a wobbly penguin. At one point Nika jerked his thumb in the direction of the stage (when they were on the floor outside the walkway) and Tama just looked at him and gave a big dramatic shrug.
In the beginning when Kisumai was on the platform that passes over the audience, halfway from back stage to the front, Kitayama just sat himself down in a corner. Yokoo was super smiley and laughing and having fun right from the beginning.
Oh, and after Taipi speaks, Senga says "Are you ready?" in English, and then Kitayama flies. Nika and Miyata have flags and lead the army of juniors to the main stage while Yokoo and Tama help Kitayama down from his wires. Nika and Miyata pass their flags off to chibis and then go and rotate the posts on the main stage so that the tour logo can be seen.
Nika seemed to look around more to keep track of where the other members were today. Possibly so he didn't have to RUN like yesterday. *lol*
At one point Tama didn't seem to know where he was going and Kitayama grabbed his arm and yanked him around and then pointed in the other direction.
That's all the random stuff I remember for now. :)
Have some pictures. A girl on my train had these on her bag, and I asked if I could take a picture because they were really cute. One of her friends took one look at my green earrings and was like, wow, Nika's "global." HAH.
Also some other bitch stepped on my foot with her huge heels and now I have large bruises. D: But whatever. These bears are ADORABLE. ♥ I WANT THEM.
ETA: They rearranged a bit of the choreo for one song, and so Koki was singing with his brother backing him and then wrapped his arm around him and sang like that. It was cute.
Also they made everyone all hold hands at the end when we yell out their name. That's a first for KaT-TUN, anyway. I'm okay with that happening at any Johnnys show, ever. Unite your fans, yo! ;D
