Popcorn, Kyocera Dome

[weifrannie]

Finally got the time to write down my first Arashi concert experience. Thanks to  this, I have a reference for the set list since I didn't make any note during the show at all and will try to fill in the blanks from what I remember.

she746  flew all the way from Jakarta to join me in watching the show on Novemebr 17th. We arrived at the dome before 5pm

Thanks for the detailed report! :)

I'd love to hear "Popcorn Man" live. LOL. I cracked up when I read about it here. So cute!

Sounds like you had a really fun time. Hope you can hit tickets again for future concerts!

[weifrannie]

You're welcome! And thanks for reading. (⌒▽⌒)
It was really fun watching them. So sad though that Sho did not look at our direction.

I hope next time I can hit more tickets so you can go with us. :)

Thanks for sharing your concert experience. Glad you enjoyed the concert, and hopefully it won't be your last.

You have a pretty good memory for not taking notes. I take notes, yet I can't remember as much as I want to. There's just too much going on during a concert.

I'll probably die laughing if I see Jun's solo live. Although I don't like his singing voice, there's always something brilliant about his solos, and he manages to outdo himself every year.

Glad they performed all the songs in Popcorn (it's a pretty good album), but too bad they dropped a lot of classics like A.Ra.Shi, Hadashi, Kotoba Yori and Kansha. At least they kept A Day in our Life and Lucky Man - those songs sound so much better live and they really get the crowd going.

I've always found Nino to be a brat and a bit snarky, but occasionally he'll say something that'll really move me. One time I nearly cried when watching a clip of his thank you speech during one of their past concerts.

Hehehe. I tend to remember good memories very well.

Yes, it would have been great if they sing Hadashi and we'll dance along. I like all rhe songs in the album, too.

Jun really knows how to entertain the fans. And he seemed to enjoy the show the most. Nino on the other hand can be really sweet. There's more to his bratty side. :)

It would be fun if we can go together on their next con.

This sounded fantastic. Glad to hear that you had such a fantastic experience. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.

I really hope I get to see most of this on a concert DVD somewhere down the line.
