Arashi Blast Concert Report 9/19 & 9/20

[tobefree0714]

I remember first hearing about the tickets being sold through Ticketmaster and really had no intention of going. I mean how could I possibly afford it. I'm a single mom for crying out loud I have responsibilities and all that adult shit going on. I remember clearly the day they went on sale. I logged on with no intention of buying a ticket, and

I have to tell you - your writing style is beautiful. After reading this and a bunch of your other posts/thoughts, I felt like I should say something. Idk if you've ever written in school or for a hobby but it's so great.

You totally captured the emotion of this concert. I am so blessed to have been adopted into your flock! People gather around you - you make them feel so welcome! Im still realizing the effects this concert had on us, but I know that it wasn't all Arashi. It was all of you guys, and your amazing personalities. Thank you so much for sharing - I really enjoyed reading what you had to say. :)

Ok you just me cry!! Seriously, I don't think I have really stopped crying since the con!! I adore you, and I know you know I don't mean that in a creepy way!!! I honestly cannot wait until you and me and Kiri can all be in the same place again!!

Sorry to be so confusing! Lol We were all together during the concerts. And you're Jamie, the person I met on the shuttle that lives in Tottori, right? :D

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to read this on the train because I was trying very hard not to cry in front of other people ;_;

Thank you so much for writing this, it was so nice to see the concert again from your perspective <3 Thank you for taking me along with you on this weekend, thanks to you it was the best weekend of my life. I wouldn't change a single thing <33 and I am so very sure that we will see each other again and more concerts will happen for us. I am so glad I met you too, without you it wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. You and the girls and Arashi were all a blessing. You'll be my Arashi family forever <3

Isn't it perfect how Aiba-chan gave you a smile while Jun gave me a smirk? xD; seems only accurate for them lol

I love you! I can't wait to see you again!! *hugs*

[tobefree0714]

More tears!!!

And you are so right. A smirk and a smile is JUST like them and what makes them....well so them.

I'm seriously counting down days until I can figure out when and where we will all see each other again. I don't doubt it will happen, and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it.

I love you girl!!!

Your report is so touching. I'm glad you shared it. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and your emotions.

OMG! i'm so excited just reading your account!
it felt like we were there with you!

I read about the saturday chaos from a local staff point of view and they said that the organizers told them nothing at all and just put them through the gates without any directions so i can of understand why it went haywire.

but i'm glad you and your friends enjoyed yourselves anyway and the concert went absolutely great!

i'm glad that it rained because it gives so much validation the being that is arashi, it gives depth and drama and all the ingredients for a superb anniversary

I also find the exit while everyone singing arashi so romantic! i feel like crying right now like i was there

OMG, your report is so lively! and I could feel all your emotions like it was mine!
Thank you so much for it!!!

I'm glad could see the boys upclose and above all your Aiba-chan!
I would have loved to be in your friend place lol
i would have loved to read her report too and feel her emotions about Jun ^^

[tobefree0714]

I honestly don't blame the staff, at least the locally hired staff, for the chaos Saturday. I just feel like they had no idea what they were in for and just weren't prepared. The resort itself had never seen a crowd that big and I just think it went haywire, because no one really had a clue. If/when they come back I see it being handled very differently. Live and learn right!?!?!

[maricha74]

yes i think so too
i really hope that JE will allow them to do more outside of japan concert in the future because it's really worth it and it seems the international fans gave a good response
i'm sure they won't have no problem filling up arenas in Asia but I think they can do special concert in america and europe and fill the venue too if it's handled well
they could do like india stars who managed to do well outside of their country even if they're not well known

[yuui1010]

Ah.....yes, jesudesu is absolutely correct.
Your writing makes me teary........I could feel all the anxiety n excitement you felt there.

And I was just reading http://iamsoluckyman.tumblr.com/ report, and BAM!
No wonder, I can't keep my feeling now!
I had to wipe my eyes (when I read her), and now I have to do it again after reading yours!

If I can save and have the time, I wanna go to their concert too. For me, it's going to be ........ a dream.

And Rebekah-san, I really admire your courage. You have responsibility, tie with job/duty and time, but you dared to make the choice. something that (some of us) I lack of and havent dared to take it.
Thank you^^ Your courage also make my day.

[tobefree0714]

I don't know that I would call it courage. It kind of more felt like a sense of dread. Like IF I didn't do this. IF I didn't go to this concert something just wouldn't be the same. It's weird and hard to explain, but it felt like something I HAD to do.

And to think, IF I had gone I wouldn't have met Jess or Kiri. I'd still only know them online instead of personally and that thought make me incredibly sad. I've come to realize in my life, especially lately, that fear will keep you grounded and sometimes just taking a single step really does have the potential to change your life.

Save up and go!! I'm currently saving up to make a trip to Japan.
