Sapporo Makomanai Ice Arena 5/23
I decided to clean up my random babblings and spazzing for the concert on Saturday. ^^
Pre-concert
I got there at 5pm and there were a lot of fans going from Makomanai station to the Ice Arena, which kind of surprised me. I thought everyone would have gone there really early to queue for goods. There were more younger fans as compared to T concert last year, which is cool cause Tohoshinki is appealing to a wider range of age group.
I got there and spotted the dbsk trucks. :D:D I only managed to capture yunho, changmin and jaejoong ones though. The rest were blocked by bushes. >.<
Then my cousin and I went to queue a total of 8 times to buy the concert goods so that we could get all 5 different receipts. :p I only finally got Junsu for the 8th receipt! :D:D jaejung, yunho, changmin, yoochun and junsu.
I got the vanity pouch, shirt in black, towel in grey, phamplet, lightstick and keychain in silver. I kind of regret the towel and keychain now. I wished I got them in gold instead. Anyone wants mine instead? I'm thinking of getting the other colour at Fukuoka. Oh yes, and the boys looked really good in the phamplet though, as you might have seen from the scans. :D
Apart from the goods being sold, there was also the promotion of bigeast membership and toho mastercard there. and fans took the chance to take pictures with the board there heh. ^^
Oh yes, and it was drizzling the entire time but everyone was still very game about the concert, queuing in the rain with umbrella and caps. (:
Concert
I went in at about 6pm I think but I can't remember what time the concert started. I was shifted from my original seat(cause I was confused about where my ticket was to be) to somewhere a lot closer to stage and that just made me extremely nervous and giddly happy. :P
When the first video introducing the band started playing, the fans lit up the red light sticks and it was truly a beautiful sight! <33 I think fans have gotten a lot more enthusiastic as compared to the previous year. Perhaps it's due to them having younger fans too. ^^
So secret game started with the members appearing on stage one by one and then finally JUNSU APPEARED, ALL READY TO DANCE. :D I was so happy to see him up there I might have scared fans around me with my scream. <33 He was really made to perform, you can't even tell he hasn't been dancing for the past 2 weeks or so. Junsu and Yunho had a solo dance segment each and the crowd just went wild with that. ^^ The atmosphere was so hyped up from the beginning.
Stand up was super fun cause we pumped our hands into the air together with the boys as they they sang. XD Everyone would twirl the lightsticks and then when the chorus came we'd pump our hands up. XD Jae's smile was precious. XD XD
I really liked the stage effects for this concert as there was this rectangular stage which would slide forward while the boys were dancing on it. I think it happened for Force. They were dressed in navy suits/uniforms. The tops were kind of short and it kept showing their backs/stomach. :P I was too far to see if any calvin klein were revealed heh. I caught changmin pulling up his pants while dancing I think. Anyway, I thought they looked really cute in it, though it was supposed to be cool. And they had on these white shoes which looked rubbery? I notice the weirdest things. >.< Oh yes, and they were already prespiring like crazy in this second outfit heh. Our boys sure work hard. ^^
Purple line was also mind blowing and the dancing was so splendid and changmin's scream was just spot on! You can tell the fans really love this song cause everyone sort of cheered the moment the musical part started. :D They performed a remix of it that just left me giddy with oohs and ahhhs.
Mirotic was a truly brilliant performance!! I loved all the special effects. There was one screen for each of the boys dressed in white suits and then through the dance the boys managed to go behind the screens and when they appeared again they were in the white suit instead of the original blue one. :D The dance on the screen was really cool though and I just really enjoyed cheering with all the other fans.
I really liked how Heart Mind and Soul sounded. It really came from their hearts and when yuho first started out it was so quiet and nice just listening to him. then the members appeared one after another across the stage. I'm positive the performance would be even more polished by tokyo dome. ;)
The ment started wth talking about Junsu injury and how he was finally having his comeback, I gathered from my limited Japanese. And Junsu said some oyagi gags which has jaejoong kneeling on the floor in laughter/embarrassment/out of apology. And Junsu was talking about the songs the members wrote and he said asurenaide instead of wasurenaide which had everyone poking fun on him again. He really shone that night I think he's just overjoyed about finally being back on stage. <33 Chun and Jae got to talk about their feelings of writing the songs.I think Chun related the song to his members. Jae babbled on about nothing in particular and eventually stopped. :P There was some minsu during the ment as well, but I didn't understand any of it. haha. I think Min told Su to study more something??
Moving on, Begin was also one of my favourite ballads of the concerts and the piano was a definite plus. I liked how the members stood around and sang to each other and to their audience. <33 The kind of emotions they put into their singing is something that has to be felt live really. <33
Nobody knows was hot with the mike stands and all and I just loved starring at Jae throughout it. haha. He was so into it and swishing the handstand about! His short hair was flapping together and he just looked super cute. He should really take more care with the handstand though, it really looked like it was gonna hit someone. :P
Box in the ship was so so much fun! :D:D They had the audience to chant "oeoeoh, box in the ship." Then Jaejoong was MC-ing and silly-ly blurted out "dong bang shin gi" instead of tohoshinki at first and the audience were like ??. haha. He laughed it off though. <33 He's adorable really. Then i think ho/chun said "oeoeoh, genghis kan" and changmin suggested "oeoeoh, kani kani" (genghis kan is some food in sapporo and kani is just crab.) changmin and his never ending crab obsession is hillarious.) Anyway, in true junsu fashion, Junsu went "oeoeoh, takatukaruatakatu" or some sort of gibberish and then the audience repeated "oeoeoh, ???" Jae made him do it again but he just said more giberish! lol.
The colourful outfit was..weird either way. >.< Jae's one looked the best but well, I don't think they should have performed Choosey Lover in it. It lost the sexy appeal. :P Sky was a lot of fun though.
Somebody to love was brilliant for me. It's like the perfect song to work up the crowd! I sat on stage left and they took turns to come over and interact with the audience. Yunho was a darling, he sang lines looking straight at the fans and I think the auntie sitting a couple of seat away from me just died from joy. :P
Jae looked very much in his own world as he always does, bobbing and all. You can totally tell how much he just loves being on stage. XD He turned and smiled at the fans. I just wished he had looked straight me. XD He did make the effort to scan through the fans though.
Changmin was a bit awkward, I had the feeling he was half getting the fans to wave along and half listening for his turn to sing. :P OH YES, I also noticed he has put on a bit of muscles. :P:P
Yoochun on the other hand is as skinny as ever. He's got such a sweet smile really and he's so fair too. (: He was all smiley but when it was his turn to sing he jsut got really into the song and it was amzing to watch.
Junsu was very professional, he came by when it was time to get the fans jumping. So he signalled to the staff to throw him the towel and the next moment he was up jumping and I just felt so thankful and happy for him that he's recovered. He belongs on stage like that. And he looks like a little boy jumping there too. :P :P
Summer dream was cute. XD Junsu led the dancing part with some seducing and touching of the butts here and there. Yunho and Yoochun were most game in following the actions. :P Jae and min were...patronising lol.
Stand by you is going to be such a hit! They showed the MV during the singing and it's like a typical japanese MV of them I guess, close ups of them singing and all. The song was really well sung though! I think I just love their ballads in general. <33 Even though it was the first time I heard it, I really felt touched.
Kiss the baby sky was a pretty song. I've always thought it was kinda high but the boys did well! They had the fans sing along together and then there was one part where it was just the fans singing alone and being there just really made me felt like we are one or something. <33
The night ended with Bolero and I think that was the best Ballad for the night? They all hit their notes and sang with so much emotions. Jaejoong ended the song beautifully and everyone looked so into it, with sad expressions and all. The screen was split into 5 showing all of them and I just really wish I could watch it one more time.
Random
Doushite is one of my favourite songs ever but it sounded average compared to the entire night's performance. So did wasurenaide. The more notable ballads would be Taxi and Stand by you I think. Forever Love was really good too esp Jaesu but more Su than Jae. That boy really shone that night. ^^
There as something really wrong with the sound system and it just felt too loud at times and the boys even sounded piercing :(( There was also echoing while they sang, which annoyed me to no end.
Well, so it was close to 3hours of Tohoshinki but I still felt it was too short! lol. I'm still suffering from post concert blues heh.I hope they have a longer ment and to everyone who will be going for future concerts, have fun! :D:D
