あああああああああああダイスキ！！！！！キスマイがダイスキ！！！
やっぱりペンライトを持ってコンサートを見るのはよっぽど楽しい！！！
ちょ～テンション上がった！！！玉ちゃんはいつまでもかわいい！みつも可愛い！ニカもカッコいい！宮っちはおもしろい！あとの三人は...別に、何でもない。www, 失礼だわ、私♪ヽ(´▽｀)/
But, didn't you notice? Now I watch more than Tama himself alone! In this concert I can say I enjoy Kisumai as a group than a mere Tamamori alone. Is it good or bad, I don't know though... Hahahaha
So, the songs. If I remembered correctly, I don't really remember all, but oh well I can always fix it tomorrow watching for second time lol. It started 5PM sharp, some audience were still rushing to get in the gates, when a masked person in the voice of Nakai-san appeared in stage and did some talking. I didn't really pay attention to what he's saying, but the point was we are about to enter the world of mirror, the Kisumai world. But it is now still locked, and we needed to open it. Now that explains why the penlight was in the shape of a key. So first we were asked to raise our penlights up as he inserted his big key into the door keyhole in the stage. Still not working, we were asked to roll our penlights, harder and harder and harder, then the door finally opened. What was meant as the door was actually a huge props in stage, literally like a door that covered the LED screen behind. So as the door was gradually opening, there was English narration we can hear in the 4th Overture. After the door was fully opened, the melody.of 4th Overture was played, this time without the English narration (I personally think the melody was better off without voice. It's kinda forced to have an English narration there, anyway). Then it's the opening clip. This opening clip was shot in a forest, with the boys wearing like black robes, kinda like Robin Hood feel. At first it was Fujigaya, then 2 Busaikus I don't remember, then Mitsu in the middle, then another 2 Busaikus, and Tama was the last one. As expected, I screamed hard at the sight of Tama, lol. I think the clip was so cool!!! (and in the ending credit later, they show the off-scene shots of the clip, I hope it made into the DVD!!!) And the 4th overture melody really fit into it.
The last scene of the clip was all Kisumais put on hoods (it was a hooded robe), and suddenly from the Main stage was 7 figures in hooded black robes. Kyaaaaaa Kisumai da!!! Well don't be fooled!!! They are not! The real Kisumais then showed up from below the Second stage and flew up high to the ceiling with their kirakira all-color costumes (each on their own colors), singing Brand New World. IT WAS GRAND!!!! Please imagine BNW intro, the hugeness of Tokyo Dome, the boys' flying in the air, and the kirakira costume. I hope that explained.
After BNW it continued directly to Kiss魂, as they have reached the Main stage, aaaaaa I like this song a lot, and the performance was so cool!! Well actually it's the same with all the other Kiss魂 performances on TVs though, I think it's the effect of the kirakira costumes, lol, and that it's a live performance.
Then they sang several songs back to back, which I don't really remember the order. It was something like Everybody Go, then We Never Give Up, then Unmei Girl, then SHE! HER! HER!, I forgot. Blur blur blur blur then I remembered it was 君にあえるから, the dance moves were sweet and cute!!! Still with their kirakira colorful costumes, such a sweet melody like that one, and they were doing sweet hand moves like it was on ダイスキデス💓💓. I was like Kyaaaaaaa so hard my throat almost fell off, lol. Then I noticed Tama went backstage, curious, I looked for Miyata, but he's nowhere as well. Then I counted, only 5 people in the stage. Certainly these two are gone preparing, BE LOVE would be after. I changed my penlight to RED (it was YELLOW from the beginning) and started focusing on Mitsu. One thing I hated was, you know Tama had a verse at the end of 君にあえるから, it was like the closing verse, the very sweet lyrics, but because Tama was not around, Gaya sang his part instead. Zzzzzzzz why Gaya whyyyyyyyyyyyyy~ (＃｀皿´)ノ！！！
Don't ruin Tama's verse with your voice!!!! *sobs. Oh well I know I'm biased, Gaya was not at fault at all, lol.
Then as expected, BE LOVE was after. It started with the clip of a manga. The title was BL, and the main characters were 2 ikemens, the story I was not clear, it was disgusting for me, but they were reciting the Ikemen Voice dialog Miyata was very proud about, in between the verses in BE LOVE recording. You know the dialog: T: 君と。M: ずっと。T: 肩を並べて。M: 手と手繋いで。T: 歩いて行こう。Both: 大好きだよ。I literally almost threw up, it was so eewwwww~ (´д｀|||)
Then TamaMiya showed up in Main stage, both in tuxedos, Tama in white and Miya in black, and as much as I hate it, Tama looked so good in that white tuxedo *drool ❤*. They were holding hands, intertwining their fingers while singing, and walked down the stairs. *throw up* it was so disgusting, but Tama was so kakoii, so I was really agonizing there *sigh*. My agony didn't stop there, because the screen was showing some prewedding-like photoshoot of them both, ewwwwwwwwwwwww~ it would be romantic if it was normally guy and girl, since the quality of the photos were very good, the poses were sweet, Tama was very good-looking and prince-like, but whyyyyyyyyy~ why it was Miya beside him in the photos (-""-;). Well in the ending credit later there's also some off-scene shots, and I do hope that made into the DVD as well. Afterwards was -the climax of the disgusting scenes- TamaMiya was sitting on a couch. Tama was laying on Miya's lap and Miya was brushing his hand on Tama's hair *vomit* then Miya suddenly went down on his knees and proposed to Tama with a ring box in his hands. Tama was like "Hai" in such a confused face, then the screen immediately changed to a church, the Jr boys ran to the center speading red carpet, and suddenly MiyaTama were walking down the red carpet until Center stage. Tama's left hand on Miya's right arm, they really imitated bride walking down the aisles. At the Center stage, a Jr boy was holding a veil, which Miya put on Tama, then Tama bent down, Miya opened the veil, was about to kiss him then suddenly the lights went off. The end of the performance. It was EEEEEWWWWWWW TO THE MAX~~~ Why does Tama have to go through such performanceeeee whyyyyyyyy~ and why is Tama the girrlllll, I so don't understand at all!!!! *rage*
Then it continued with WataTai's わんダフォー. I changed my penlight to ORANGE (should've change it to WHITE instead, I chose Orange since I just didn't want to put PINK lol). They were wearing dog suits, the song was cute, the dance moves were cute, and so on and so on. In the middle of the song they both went crawling inside dog houses named Wata and Tai respectively, then the houses broke down and they were lifted up by strings chasing after a giant white bone. It was cute, but that's it. Lol I'm probably very rude to WataTai's fans hahaha.
Then I forgot, there was probably FOLLOW in between, it was a cool song but that was just it. Then there was IF as well, the opening remark by Tama in IF was of course made the whole dome go KYAAAAA. You know the line: どんな君を僕は受け入れる。僕は君を選んだから。 Another Future, Kiss Your Mind, didn't really mark anything in my mind, then it was the front trio solo dance. The theme was glass crack, it seemed. The screen was showing glass cracking in sequence with their moves. First it was Mitsu, I noticed it through almost pitch black setting because he wore red shoes. After Mitsu was Tama in yellow shoes, then last one was Gaya in pink shoes. It was cool but it was just it as well. Didn't stay in my mind.
Then it came to the end of first half and the MC part happened. Miyata (if I'm not mistaken it was Miyata) was talking that Tokyo Dome was very memorable for them, since their first ever Dome tour was in Tokyo Dome, only one day performance. Then the next year it was 2 days, the year after it was 3 days, and now they have 4 days performance. Then someone replied several years from now it would be 10 days performance, sugokunai? Then Mitsu was like, no I can't do 10 days, by then my body will fall apart already. Then Mitsu asked Tama how it was, Tama was stuttering before finally saying "Saikou!" and of course the whole Dome screamed like crazy, lol. Then came the usual "Why Tama just said one word and the audience went Kyaaa" talk, when Nikaido suddenly screamed and threw his drink up (he was drinking, apparently). Nikaido said something was wrong with his drink, it tasted awful, then Mitsu came to him with a board saying「逆ドッキリ成功しました！(Reverse Dokkiri was successful!)」Apparently, they were revenging Nika, who liked to do dokkiris to people during the preparation of the concert. Everyone had fallen victim to Nika's dokkiri, in the practice, in the dressing room, during shower, etc. So they were very happy the Reverse Dokkiri succeeded, when Nika was about to say something he yelled his mike was smelly. Mitsu went and smelled it, then yelled "SMELLY!!" afterwards. So did Gaya. I don't understand why they kept smelling what was declared smelly, though. They were saying Nika as an idol had a smelly mike, an idol should not have smelly breath, and so on, when I think it was the cause of the dokkiri drink. Then Mitsu went back to Tama, he was saying Saikou, but I didn't remember/understand the rest. Then Mitsu was asking, it seemd Tama and the other 2 were busy these times, Tama continued with Dream Boys promotion which he's currently doing with Miyata and Senga. Mitsu asked what characters they were playing, Miyata answered Senga was playing champ, Tama was playing boxer, while himself was playing someone who happened to be there, lol.
----interruption. Now it's 9:15PM and I think I better be back to the hotel. Haven't picked up room key since check-in was on 3PM. Besides, there's Arashi ni Shiyagare at 10PM on Nippon Terebi.
10:55PM.
Finished watching Arashi ni Shiyagare, lol that episode was hilarious. This is one thing I love being in Japan. You can watch any shows you like, on its time slot. No need to wait for uploads or anything, besides, everything is in Full HD. I can even see Matsujun's uneven face texture lol. The guests were Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke, while for Sho's Shinobi Ryouko corner, Ishihara Satomi is joining him in a trip to Kanazawa. But I'm not going to review the Arashiya episode, lol.
Continue to Kisumai World, where was I... Oh the MC thing. After promoting Dream Boys, somehow the 4 Busaikus went backstage, only the front trio were left. Then Tama was promoting his drama, Seishun Tantei Haruya which will air on next season. He was cute while promoting it, it seemed he forgot the title of the drama at first, that he paused for some time, and give out that awkward grin that's so Tama ❤ then he said he was happy that the Kisumai was entrusted with the theme song, and Naoto Inti Raymi-san had written them such a good song, AAO. Then next it was Raintree no Kuni PR time. I wonder why Tama was always embarrassed PR-ing his own work, but that's what makes Tama loveable, no? Lol I'm biased don't listen to me.
Then Tama continued with Raintree no Kuni PR, and the theme song 最後問題やっぱり君. Mitsu jokingly said that they have done the dance moves just this morning, and hinted if they would do it on stage (If I'm not mistaken the hint), I was immediately like, Mitai mitai mitaaiiiii~ but of course, it was not in ths song list *sigh. While talking about Raintree no Kuni, Mitsu slipped his tongue and said "Rainkuri no Kuni" instead, lol, and afterwards Gaya was teasing him, that Mitsu ended up making fun of himself by saying "Rain kurikuri no Kuni", lol. Kurikuri means big and round. That was so cute of Mitsu ❤
In the venue, they're apparently selling the ticket to Raintree no Kuni special screening on 21-Nov for only ¥1,200, which was sold together in the goods sales area. So Tama was promoting that as well, he showed that the ticket purchase came with a postcard, in which Tama was seen leaning to an open window looking outside while wearing checkered shirt (remind me of the type Clark Kent would wear, lol). The whole postcard ambience was dreamy with white background. Then Mitsu peeked to Tama's side and said,"Where in the world can you find a person who looks so good wearing checkered shirt?". Tama replied, with his usual awkward laugh,"He's here you know." Kyaaaaaaaaa that was so cuteeee!!!!! ❤ Then Mitsu said,"If it was me, I would look like an elementary school student...". Then from somewhere, there were voices yelling "Chibi chibi chibi chibi..." (I'm not sure if it was the audience...) then Mitsu's face changed. You know the kind of face he makes when someone teases him of his body size. Gaya and Tama laughed, they said a bunch of chibis just passed the dome, lol. Then Mitsu said, oh he also is starring in next season drama Siren, playing as a chibi deka (petit detective). Then I forgot how, but the conversation turned into "Chibi Dekai" (Petit and Big), which Mitsu complained a lot that he can't be chibi and dekai at the same time. Then it changed again being Tama was about to bring back the water bottle tray backstage, then Gaya offered to help. They were quarrelling for a bit on who's going to bring the tray backstage, Gaya complained that no wonder Tama is the ace and most popular in Kisumai, he should stop doing things that can make him be more popular. But Tama debated that the most popular in Kisumai is not him, but Gaya. While debating they carried the tray together, one hand each person, walking away approaching backstage. Then Mitsu who was left alone in the center of the stage shouted that they should not leave him behind. But I forgot what happened after, lol.
After that came Busaiku. I immediately changed my penlight to GREEN. It was Tana Kara Botamochi and Tititi Terete. There was Agetekuze after that and I did think about something about this song, kinda wondered why this made into the songlist even though it's not a single nor any memorable song, but I guess it was a song that enables interaction with audience. You know how we can shout things like 見ちゃって、しちゃって、だってetc that came with the song. That's probably the most logical information.
After that came the Kisumai Fairy segment. In this segment, as expected Miyata was the host. He came on stage with a kind of dwarf-like purple robe with white wings in his back, and the white trousers with purple stripe on the side. The others wear the same things as well, of course in different colors. I notice the trousers were most likely the trousers they wore during last year's Journey concert, the same kind of segment where they wore a happi for the top, if you remember. Miyata introduced that there lived many fairies in the fairy world first is him, he introduced each person with each personality, but I didn't really remember. First one was Mitsu, the oldest one but smallest in size. Of course comes Mitsu's usual denial that he's not short, it's just he shrunk thing. Next it was Yokoo, then Tama, the cool and stylish one. Then Senga, Gaya and last one Nikaido. The question this time is,"After Kabe-don, what gesture is next to make girls heart throb?"
Yokoo said, when you eat with your girlfriend and she has something in her lips, you wipe it with your finger. Finger-wipe (Yubi-tsumu, if I heard it correctly). Booooo~ wrong answer, the punishment was he had to carry a huge baloon and a Jr boy burst it.
I forgot Senga's but Nikaido's was an ago-don, he moved his lower jaw forward. (ago=jaw). Wrong answer again.
Then Gaya's was when your girlfriend catch a fever and you want to check her temperature by touching your forehead to hers. Forehead-touch (I forgot but it was deko-something). Audience kyaaa-ing, he was free from the punishment.
Then Tama's was when there's an insect near your girlfriend and you take it and throw it away. Insect-throw (mushi-poi). Wrong answer. Silly Tama XD
Final one was Mitsu's, he said he thought of 2, but he will go with the one Yokoo liked (Yokoo was sitting beside him, and was seen discussing with Mitsu earlier while Mitsu was doodling something in his board). This one I also forgot, sorry Mitsu, but it was wrong answer. So in the end no one was right except Gaya.
Then Tama pointed out to Miyata and asked him to do as well. The others agreed, Miyata refused but Tama didn't put his pointing finger down. I love how Tama always bullies Miyata, hahaha.
Next they immediately continue to ドキドキでYEEEAAAHHH with those Fairies outfit. It turned into such a cute song!!! Even the dance moves were cute, they were really like fairies, hopping and tiptoing and losing balance while walking, it suits the song and costumes feel very much! And we can also join in as well, in shouting,"アッソレ、ソレ、ソレ、ソレ！" lol. But the sentence I was hoping the most coming from Tama, the その笑顔、守ってあげるからone, he was replacing it with Mushi-poi σ(￣∇￣;) Well Gaya started first though, with his deko-something. After they finished the song and went backstage, the screen was showing them as if they're back home in their fairy house. It was quite interesting, although I didn't remember what it was about. I hope this one makes into the DVD!
Omg I'm so sleepy now, it's already 12 midnight. I need to wake up early tomorrow. I don't think I can finish this report *yawn.
Fast forward to NikaSen duet, double up. Before double up, I forgot what song it was, in the middle of the song I lost track of Tama. Confused, I counted there were only 5 members on stage, I looked and had a conclusion that Tama and Miyata were missing. I was confused because they had done their duet. Of course I was wrong, it seemed I mistaken Nika for Tama and Senga for Miyata??? Lol tomorrow I need to make sure I pay attention to Tama. Then Mitsu and Gaya duet. They sit in the Center stage with a guitar each, it was a beautiful performance!!! I liked it a lot, the song was beautiful, their voices also beautiful, the guitar voice was mellow, it didn't disappoint me at all!! Of course my penlight was RED during this time. After akashi they continued with FIRE, still with the shirt-bowtie-vest-formal trousers outfit they wore for akashi. It's nothing compared to the performance they did in last uear's Journey, I personally enjoy akashi a lot more. It was really unneccessary, especially since they can't compete with last year's.
It seems I forgot a lot of things, there was Fire Beat, then Hair, then Eternal Mind. These songs were sung in such high tension with fire and fireworks and everything, in Second stage. Just like last year's Take Over. There were several explosion that I was also startled myself. The girl beside me kept covering her ears. I am amazed the Kisumais they perform like nothing happened. That's what we call professional.
Then after it ended, Mitsu apologized for all the shock. Apologized if there was a startled baby and cried because of this.
Next it was Sakura Hirari. The song I most anticipated. Mitsu was instructing to do the penlight color change with them. On the bottom right of the screen there was a guide for penlight movement and color guide. And timing as to change the colors as well. Apparently, the penlight color sequence was adjusted according to the solo part order. So at first it was WHITE then PINK-GREEN-RED-YELLOW-PURPLE-ORANGE-BLUE. Just like Sakura Hirari solo order. Starts with Gaya to Nika to Mitsu then chorus. Continued 2nd verse with Tama to Miya then chorus again. The encore was Yokoo and Senga. All fits the color sequence. The last chorus we were asked to change to WHITE again, then approaching the end, Mitsu wanted to make a color change in waves. So 2 Jr boys will be running holding flags from each wing to center, and the audience need to change the penlight color accordingly. So in the end it was like a wave changing from white to pink, if you know what I mean. And in the end there was a sakura tree in the screen. With our penlight color in pink, it was a totally beautiful sight. 桜が咲きました～, Mitsu said. It was beautiful and moving.
Honestly, can I say one thing? I hate to say this but I'm a bit disappointed. As much as the performance is unique, and I really loved being part of a performance in Tokyo Dome, but... Isn't this just the same with what Arashi did last year in their Digitalian Concert...? I regret watching Arashi's Digitalian DVD, if I had known Kisumai would be copying that. Gakkari, but since they're in the same agency, and they have Kouhai-Senpai relationship, I'm a bit okay. It's probably not called copying. Still disappointed though, I was looking to Sakura Hirari ever since I listened to Kissdamashii CD.
Then last song was KISS&PEACE, as expected. In the beginning of the song, Senga's hands were shot doing a children drawing. A beautiful song, the dance moves were beautiful as well, again with hand gestures. If I'm not mistaken, during "Aishiteru yo" lyrics somewhere, aren't they using hand language...? Or probably it was me assuming too far. Before the last chorus, just before Mitsu's part ”みんなで手を繋げば～”, Mitsu asked the whole audience to put down all penlights and uchiwas, and hold hands with each other. Well then there I was, holding hands with 2 strangers next to me. I was okay actually, but I was just worried about the lady in my right side. She seemed a bit disgusted to hold a stranger's hand, that she raised her arm in a very awkward position, so I spent like the second half of the song feeling uncomfortable about the awkward position she has caused me.
It was an ending song, Mitsu was representing the others saying thank you to Tokyo, and there's an ending credit with off-screen shots of the opening clip, their rehearsal, TamaMiya photo shoot, WataTai dog rehearsal, Kisumai Fairy clip making, etc. I really hope they insert them into the concert DVD as a side menu.
Then encore. First it was Busaiku with Yacchatta, in live band performance. Yokoo on guitar, Nikaido on bass, Senga on keyboard and Miyata on drums. I say their instruments playing was messed up, lol, especially Miyata. His beat was a little off IMO. But the performance was different and I enjoyed it a lot. Since the beginning Busaiku's songs are much interactive than Kisumai's, and I originally liked Yacchatta a lot, so I enjoyed it very much. And besides, just like Mitsu-Gaya guitar duet feels different and fresh, so does this live band performance I think. They seemed to... have matured, imo.
After Yacchatta it was Thank you jan, Mitsu asked us to do the hand moves together during chorus, and the screen also showing guides. It was very fun doing the Thank you jan moves, as the song itself is also very deep. Then they went back again.
Double encore was started with Tama's voice singing 前へ、前へ、手を伸ばせば～KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it was probably the MOST memorable thing in the whole concert today. Can you imagine the dome with lights on. Audience was shouting encore, encore repeatedly. Some people even have left the hall. Then Tama's gentle voice was heard in the silence.......................... Okay I would like to daydream, recalling this moment, lol. This time they were all riding the wheeled gondola, Tama-Miyata-(probably Senga) from the left side and Mitsu-Gaya-Nikaido-(probably Yokoo) from the right. They were all wearing the Kisumai World T-shirt. Everyone except Tama did modification on their T-Shirt, Mitsu's has a torn up sleeves, Gaya's was an off-shoulder, Senga's being painted pink, and I didn't remembered the other two, lol. Tama wears the white T-shirt as it is with a worn-off jeans, and the black towel knotted around his neck like scarf. Even with those outfit Tama looked gorgeous and stylish ❤. Now I want to copy Mitsu's line, where on earth can you find a person who looks so good on T-Shirt??? I guess Tama was born with it. That even wearing a T-shirt alone can make him look like he's walking on the runway. Or probably I'm exaggerating. Or biased, lol. One thing I love was during this time, Tama's gondola stopped quite some time in front of my row. I was in Row 30 though so it was not that close, but using my spectator, I can see him crystal clear!!! I wished he stay there all the time, lol. Oh and his black boxer was revealing a bit below his T-shirt, hahaha~
On the double encore there were cuts of some songs, like Hikari no Signal, Ai no Beat, Shake it Up, Kimi to no Kiseki and last one was Kis-My-Calling. I loved this song a lot. As always, they let us shout their names by only singing the initial part. And during Tama's part, he stopped at 神様、女神様～so we could continue チャンスをください！I shouted my lungs out lol. Then it was really the end. They each said their thank yous and did deep bow at the end. But before they go back, I noticed Gaya made a face to Tama, and Tama was laughing embarrassedly. Gaya was about to say something but Tama stopped him. I didn't catch what Tama was doing so I became really curious. Then while they made one more round saying goodbyes, Gaya spitted the beans,”玉森はマイク落としたよ～” which immediately was denied by Tama,”落としてねぇよ！” Then so they disappeared into backstage like that. The last one to go back was Mitsu, but he made a piyo face before he closed the door. And so the concert was finished and I rushed to get out of the venue.
One staff was responsible for making sure the rotating glass entrance rotate in place, one person at a time, so he stood guard and rotated the glass entrance one by one. I think that's the most ridiculous job I've ever seen lol. And this is unrelated.
Hahahaha I'm sorry it seems my brain is not working properly anymore... I need to go sleep, it's 1:06AM already and tomorrow I need to be ready and leave hotel at 7:30AM. Good night~

But, didn't you notice? Now I watch more than Tama himself alone! In this concert I can say I enjoy Kisumai as a group than a mere Tamamori alone. Is it good or bad, I don't know though... Hahahaha
So, the songs. If I remembered correctly, I don't really remember all, but oh well I can always fix it tomorrow watching for second time lol. It started 5PM sharp, some audience were still rushing to get in the gates, when a masked person in the voice of Nakai-san appeared in stage and did some talking. I didn't really pay attention to what he's saying, but the point was we are about to enter the world of mirror, the Kisumai world. But it is now still locked, and we needed to open it. Now that explains why the penlight was in the shape of a key. So first we were asked to raise our penlights up as he inserted his big key into the door keyhole in the stage. Still not working, we were asked to roll our penlights, harder and harder and harder, then the door finally opened. What was meant as the door was actually a huge props in stage, literally like a door that covered the LED screen behind. So as the door was gradually opening, there was English narration we can hear in the 4th Overture. After the door was fully opened, the melody.of 4th Overture was played, this time without the English narration (I personally think the melody was better off without voice. It's kinda forced to have an English narration there, anyway). Then it's the opening clip. This opening clip was shot in a forest, with the boys wearing like black robes, kinda like Robin Hood feel. At first it was Fujigaya, then 2 Busaikus I don't remember, then Mitsu in the middle, then another 2 Busaikus, and Tama was the last one. As expected, I screamed hard at the sight of Tama, lol. I think the clip was so cool!!! (and in the ending credit later, they show the off-scene shots of the clip, I hope it made into the DVD!!!) And the 4th overture melody really fit into it.
The last scene of the clip was all Kisumais put on hoods (it was a hooded robe), and suddenly from the Main stage was 7 figures in hooded black robes. Kyaaaaaa Kisumai da!!! Well don't be fooled!!! They are not! The real Kisumais then showed up from below the Second stage and flew up high to the ceiling with their kirakira all-color costumes (each on their own colors), singing Brand New World. IT WAS GRAND!!!! Please imagine BNW intro, the hugeness of Tokyo Dome, the boys' flying in the air, and the kirakira costume. I hope that explained.
After BNW it continued directly to Kiss魂, as they have reached the Main stage, aaaaaa I like this song a lot, and the performance was so cool!! Well actually it's the same with all the other Kiss魂 performances on TVs though, I think it's the effect of the kirakira costumes, lol, and that it's a live performance.
Then they sang several songs back to back, which I don't really remember the order. It was something like Everybody Go, then We Never Give Up, then Unmei Girl, then SHE! HER! HER!, I forgot. Blur blur blur blur then I remembered it was 君にあえるから, the dance moves were sweet and cute!!! Still with their kirakira colorful costumes, such a sweet melody like that one, and they were doing sweet hand moves like it was on ダイスキデス💓💓. I was like Kyaaaaaaa so hard my throat almost fell off, lol. Then I noticed Tama went backstage, curious, I looked for Miyata, but he's nowhere as well. Then I counted, only 5 people in the stage. Certainly these two are gone preparing, BE LOVE would be after. I changed my penlight to RED (it was YELLOW from the beginning) and started focusing on Mitsu.

Zzzzzzzz why Gaya whyyyyyyyyyyyyy~ (＃｀皿´)ノ！！！
Don't ruin Tama's verse with your voice!!!! *sobs. Oh well I know I'm biased, Gaya was not at fault at all, lol.
Then as expected, BE LOVE was after. It started with the clip of a manga. The title was BL, and the main characters were 2 ikemens, the story I was not clear, it was disgusting for me, but they were reciting the Ikemen Voice dialog Miyata was very proud about, in between the verses in BE LOVE recording. You know the dialog: T: 君と。M: ずっと。T: 肩を並べて。M: 手と手繋いで。T: 歩いて行こう。Both: 大好きだよ。I literally almost threw up, it was so eewwwww~ (´д｀|||)
Then TamaMiya showed up in Main stage, both in tuxedos, Tama in white and Miya in black, and as much as I hate it, Tama looked so good in that white tuxedo *drool ❤*. They were holding hands, intertwining their fingers while singing, and walked down the stairs. *throw up* it was so disgusting, but Tama was so kakoii, so I was really agonizing there *sigh*. My agony didn't stop there, because the screen was showing some prewedding-like photoshoot of them both, ewwwwwwwwwwwww~ it would be romantic if it was normally guy and girl, since the quality of the photos were very good, the poses were sweet, Tama was very good-looking and prince-like, but whyyyyyyyyy~ why it was Miya beside him in the photos (-""-;). Well in the ending credit later there's also some off-scene shots, and I do hope that made into the DVD as well. Afterwards was -the climax of the disgusting scenes- TamaMiya was sitting on a couch. Tama was laying on Miya's lap and Miya was brushing his hand on Tama's hair *vomit* then Miya suddenly went down on his knees and proposed to Tama with a ring box in his hands. Tama was like "Hai" in such a confused face, then the screen immediately changed to a church, the Jr boys ran to the center speading red carpet, and suddenly MiyaTama were walking down the red carpet until Center stage. Tama's left hand on Miya's right arm, they really imitated bride walking down the aisles. At the Center stage, a Jr boy was holding a veil, which Miya put on Tama, then Tama bent down, Miya opened the veil, was about to kiss him then suddenly the lights went off. The end of the performance. It was EEEEEWWWWWWW TO THE MAX~~~ Why does Tama have to go through such performanceeeee whyyyyyyyy~ and why is Tama the girrlllll, I so don't understand at all!!!! *rage*
Then it continued with WataTai's わんダフォー. I changed my penlight to ORANGE (should've change it to WHITE instead, I chose Orange since I just didn't want to put PINK lol). They were wearing dog suits, the song was cute, the dance moves were cute, and so on and so on. In the middle of the song they both went crawling inside dog houses named Wata and Tai respectively, then the houses broke down and they were lifted up by strings chasing after a giant white bone. It was cute, but that's it. Lol I'm probably very rude to WataTai's fans hahaha.
Then I forgot, there was probably FOLLOW in between, it was a cool song but that was just it. Then there was IF as well, the opening remark by Tama in IF was of course made the whole dome go KYAAAAA. You know the line: どんな君を僕は受け入れる。僕は君を選んだから。 Another Future, Kiss Your Mind, didn't really mark anything in my mind, then it was the front trio solo dance. The theme was glass crack, it seemed. The screen was showing glass cracking in sequence with their moves. First it was Mitsu, I noticed it through almost pitch black setting because he wore red shoes. After Mitsu was Tama in yellow shoes, then last one was Gaya in pink shoes. It was cool but it was just it as well. Didn't stay in my mind.
Then it came to the end of first half and the MC part happened. Miyata (if I'm not mistaken it was Miyata) was talking that Tokyo Dome was very memorable for them, since their first ever Dome tour was in Tokyo Dome, only one day performance. Then the next year it was 2 days, the year after it was 3 days, and now they have 4 days performance. Then someone replied several years from now it would be 10 days performance, sugokunai? Then Mitsu was like, no I can't do 10 days, by then my body will fall apart already. Then Mitsu asked Tama how it was, Tama was stuttering before finally saying "Saikou!" and of course the whole Dome screamed like crazy, lol. Then came the usual "Why Tama just said one word and the audience went Kyaaa" talk, when Nikaido suddenly screamed and threw his drink up (he was drinking, apparently). Nikaido said something was wrong with his drink, it tasted awful, then Mitsu came to him with a board saying「逆ドッキリ成功しました！(Reverse Dokkiri was successful!)」Apparently, they were revenging Nika, who liked to do dokkiris to people during the preparation of the concert. Everyone had fallen victim to Nika's dokkiri, in the practice, in the dressing room, during shower, etc. So they were very happy the Reverse Dokkiri succeeded, when Nika was about to say something he yelled his mike was smelly. Mitsu went and smelled it, then yelled "SMELLY!!" afterwards. So did Gaya. I don't understand why they kept smelling what was declared smelly, though. They were saying Nika as an idol had a smelly mike, an idol should not have smelly breath, and so on, when I think it was the cause of the dokkiri drink. Then Mitsu went back to Tama, he was saying Saikou, but I didn't remember/understand the rest. Then Mitsu was asking, it seemd Tama and the other 2 were busy these times, Tama continued with Dream Boys promotion which he's currently doing with Miyata and Senga. Mitsu asked what characters they were playing, Miyata answered Senga was playing champ, Tama was playing boxer, while himself was playing someone who happened to be there, lol.
----interruption. Now it's 9:15PM and I think I better be back to the hotel. Haven't picked up room key since check-in was on 3PM. Besides, there's Arashi ni Shiyagare at 10PM on Nippon Terebi.
10:55PM.
Finished watching Arashi ni Shiyagare, lol that episode was hilarious. This is one thing I love being in Japan. You can watch any shows you like, on its time slot. No need to wait for uploads or anything, besides, everything is in Full HD. I can even see Matsujun's uneven face texture lol. The guests were Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke, while for Sho's Shinobi Ryouko corner, Ishihara Satomi is joining him in a trip to Kanazawa. But I'm not going to review the Arashiya episode, lol.
Continue to Kisumai World, where was I... Oh the MC thing. After promoting Dream Boys, somehow the 4 Busaikus went backstage, only the front trio were left. Then Tama was promoting his drama, Seishun Tantei Haruya which will air on next season. He was cute while promoting it, it seemed he forgot the title of the drama at first, that he paused for some time, and give out that awkward grin that's so Tama ❤ then he said he was happy that the Kisumai was entrusted with the theme song, and Naoto Inti Raymi-san had written them such a good song, AAO. Then next it was Raintree no Kuni PR time. I wonder why Tama was always embarrassed PR-ing his own work, but that's what makes Tama loveable, no? Lol I'm biased don't listen to me.
Then Tama continued with Raintree no Kuni PR, and the theme song 最後問題やっぱり君. Mitsu jokingly said that they have done the dance moves just this morning, and hinted if they would do it on stage (If I'm not mistaken the hint), I was immediately like, Mitai mitai mitaaiiiii~ but of course, it was not in ths song list *sigh. While talking about Raintree no Kuni, Mitsu slipped his tongue and said "Rainkuri no Kuni" instead, lol, and afterwards Gaya was teasing him, that Mitsu ended up making fun of himself by saying "Rain kurikuri no Kuni", lol. Kurikuri means big and round. That was so cute of Mitsu ❤
In the venue, they're apparently selling the ticket to Raintree no Kuni special screening on 21-Nov for only ¥1,200, which was sold together in the goods sales area. So Tama was promoting that as well, he showed that the ticket purchase came with a postcard, in which Tama was seen leaning to an open window looking outside while wearing checkered shirt (remind me of the type Clark Kent would wear, lol). The whole postcard ambience was dreamy with white background. Then Mitsu peeked to Tama's side and said,"Where in the world can you find a person who looks so good wearing checkered shirt?". Tama replied, with his usual awkward laugh,"He's here you know." Kyaaaaaaaaa that was so cuteeee!!!!! ❤ Then Mitsu said,"If it was me, I would look like an elementary school student...". Then from somewhere, there were voices yelling "Chibi chibi chibi chibi..." (I'm not sure if it was the audience...) then Mitsu's face changed. You know the kind of face he makes when someone teases him of his body size. Gaya and Tama laughed, they said a bunch of chibis just passed the dome, lol. Then Mitsu said, oh he also is starring in next season drama Siren, playing as a chibi deka (petit detective). Then I forgot how, but the conversation turned into "Chibi Dekai" (Petit and Big), which Mitsu complained a lot that he can't be chibi and dekai at the same time. Then it changed again being Tama was about to bring back the water bottle tray backstage, then Gaya offered to help. They were quarrelling for a bit on who's going to bring the tray backstage, Gaya complained that no wonder Tama is the ace and most popular in Kisumai, he should stop doing things that can make him be more popular. But Tama debated that the most popular in Kisumai is not him, but Gaya. While debating they carried the tray together, one hand each person, walking away approaching backstage. Then Mitsu who was left alone in the center of the stage shouted that they should not leave him behind. But I forgot what happened after, lol.
After that came Busaiku. I immediately changed my penlight to GREEN. It was Tana Kara Botamochi and Tititi Terete. There was Agetekuze after that and I did think about something about this song, kinda wondered why this made into the songlist even though it's not a single nor any memorable song, but I guess it was a song that enables interaction with audience. You know how we can shout things like 見ちゃって、しちゃって、だってetc that came with the song. That's probably the most logical information.
After that came the Kisumai Fairy segment. In this segment, as expected Miyata was the host. He came on stage with a kind of dwarf-like purple robe with white wings in his back, and the white trousers with purple stripe on the side. The others wear the same things as well, of course in different colors. I notice the trousers were most likely the trousers they wore during last year's Journey concert, the same kind of segment where they wore a happi for the top, if you remember. Miyata introduced that there lived many fairies in the fairy world first is him, he introduced each person with each personality, but I didn't really remember. First one was Mitsu, the oldest one but smallest in size. Of course comes Mitsu's usual denial that he's not short, it's just he shrunk thing. Next it was Yokoo, then Tama, the cool and stylish one. Then Senga, Gaya and last one Nikaido. The question this time is,"After Kabe-don, what gesture is next to make girls heart throb?"
Yokoo said, when you eat with your girlfriend and she has something in her lips, you wipe it with your finger. Finger-wipe (Yubi-tsumu, if I heard it correctly). Booooo~ wrong answer, the punishment was he had to carry a huge baloon and a Jr boy burst it.
I forgot Senga's but Nikaido's was an ago-don, he moved his lower jaw forward. (ago=jaw). Wrong answer again.
Then Gaya's was when your girlfriend catch a fever and you want to check her temperature by touching your forehead to hers. Forehead-touch (I forgot but it was deko-something). Audience kyaaa-ing, he was free from the punishment.
Then Tama's was when there's an insect near your girlfriend and you take it and throw it away. Insect-throw (mushi-poi). Wrong answer. Silly Tama XD
Final one was Mitsu's, he said he thought of 2, but he will go with the one Yokoo liked (Yokoo was sitting beside him, and was seen discussing with Mitsu earlier while Mitsu was doodling something in his board). This one I also forgot, sorry Mitsu, but it was wrong answer. So in the end no one was right except Gaya.
Then Tama pointed out to Miyata and asked him to do as well. The others agreed, Miyata refused but Tama didn't put his pointing finger down. I love how Tama always bullies Miyata, hahaha.
Next they immediately continue to ドキドキでYEEEAAAHHH with those Fairies outfit. It turned into such a cute song!!! Even the dance moves were cute, they were really like fairies, hopping and tiptoing and losing balance while walking, it suits the song and costumes feel very much! And we can also join in as well, in shouting,"アッソレ、ソレ、ソレ、ソレ！" lol. But the sentence I was hoping the most coming from Tama, the その笑顔、守ってあげるからone, he was replacing it with Mushi-poi σ(￣∇￣;) Well Gaya started first though, with his deko-something. After they finished the song and went backstage, the screen was showing them as if they're back home in their fairy house. It was quite interesting, although I didn't remember what it was about. I hope this one makes into the DVD!
Omg I'm so sleepy now, it's already 12 midnight. I need to wake up early tomorrow. I don't think I can finish this report *yawn.
Fast forward to NikaSen duet, double up. Before double up, I forgot what song it was, in the middle of the song I lost track of Tama. Confused, I counted there were only 5 members on stage, I looked and had a conclusion that Tama and Miyata were missing. I was confused because they had done their duet. Of course I was wrong, it seemed I mistaken Nika for Tama and Senga for Miyata??? Lol tomorrow I need to make sure I pay attention to Tama. Then Mitsu and Gaya duet. They sit in the Center stage with a guitar each, it was a beautiful performance!!! I liked it a lot, the song was beautiful, their voices also beautiful, the guitar voice was mellow, it didn't disappoint me at all!! Of course my penlight was RED during this time. After akashi they continued with FIRE, still with the shirt-bowtie-vest-formal trousers outfit they wore for akashi. It's nothing compared to the performance they did in last uear's Journey, I personally enjoy akashi a lot more. It was really unneccessary, especially since they can't compete with last year's.
It seems I forgot a lot of things, there was Fire Beat, then Hair, then Eternal Mind. These songs were sung in such high tension with fire and fireworks and everything, in Second stage. Just like last year's Take Over. There were several explosion that I was also startled myself. The girl beside me kept covering her ears. I am amazed the Kisumais they perform like nothing happened. That's what we call professional.
Then after it ended, Mitsu apologized for all the shock. Apologized if there was a startled baby and cried because of this.
Next it was Sakura Hirari. The song I most anticipated. Mitsu was instructing to do the penlight color change with them. On the bottom right of the screen there was a guide for penlight movement and color guide. And timing as to change the colors as well. Apparently, the penlight color sequence was adjusted according to the solo part order. So at first it was WHITE then PINK-GREEN-RED-YELLOW-PURPLE-ORANGE-BLUE. Just like Sakura Hirari solo order. Starts with Gaya to Nika to Mitsu then chorus. Continued 2nd verse with Tama to Miya then chorus again. The encore was Yokoo and Senga. All fits the color sequence. The last chorus we were asked to change to WHITE again, then approaching the end, Mitsu wanted to make a color change in waves. So 2 Jr boys will be running holding flags from each wing to center, and the audience need to change the penlight color accordingly. So in the end it was like a wave changing from white to pink, if you know what I mean. And in the end there was a sakura tree in the screen. With our penlight color in pink, it was a totally beautiful sight. 桜が咲きました～, Mitsu said. It was beautiful and moving.
Honestly, can I say one thing? I hate to say this but I'm a bit disappointed. As much as the performance is unique, and I really loved being part of a performance in Tokyo Dome, but... Isn't this just the same with what Arashi did last year in their Digitalian Concert...? I regret watching Arashi's Digitalian DVD, if I had known Kisumai would be copying that. Gakkari, but since they're in the same agency, and they have Kouhai-Senpai relationship, I'm a bit okay. It's probably not called copying. Still disappointed though, I was looking to Sakura Hirari ever since I listened to Kissdamashii CD.
Then last song was KISS&PEACE, as expected. In the beginning of the song, Senga's hands were shot doing a children drawing. A beautiful song, the dance moves were beautiful as well, again with hand gestures. If I'm not mistaken, during "Aishiteru yo" lyrics somewhere, aren't they using hand language...? Or probably it was me assuming too far. Before the last chorus, just before Mitsu's part ”みんなで手を繋げば～”, Mitsu asked the whole audience to put down all penlights and uchiwas, and hold hands with each other. Well then there I was, holding hands with 2 strangers next to me. I was okay actually, but I was just worried about the lady in my right side. She seemed a bit disgusted to hold a stranger's hand, that she raised her arm in a very awkward position, so I spent like the second half of the song feeling uncomfortable about the awkward position she has caused me.
It was an ending song, Mitsu was representing the others saying thank you to Tokyo, and there's an ending credit with off-screen shots of the opening clip, their rehearsal, TamaMiya photo shoot, WataTai dog rehearsal, Kisumai Fairy clip making, etc. I really hope they insert them into the concert DVD as a side menu.
Then encore. First it was Busaiku with Yacchatta, in live band performance. Yokoo on guitar, Nikaido on bass, Senga on keyboard and Miyata on drums. I say their instruments playing was messed up, lol, especially Miyata. His beat was a little off IMO. But the performance was different and I enjoyed it a lot. Since the beginning Busaiku's songs are much interactive than Kisumai's, and I originally liked Yacchatta a lot, so I enjoyed it very much. And besides, just like Mitsu-Gaya guitar duet feels different and fresh, so does this live band performance I think. They seemed to... have matured, imo.
After Yacchatta it was Thank you jan, Mitsu asked us to do the hand moves together during chorus, and the screen also showing guides. It was very fun doing the Thank you jan moves, as the song itself is also very deep. Then they went back again.
Double encore was started with Tama's voice singing 前へ、前へ、手を伸ばせば～KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it was probably the MOST memorable thing in the whole concert today. Can you imagine the dome with lights on. Audience was shouting encore, encore repeatedly. Some people even have left the hall. Then Tama's gentle voice was heard in the silence.......................... Okay I would like to daydream, recalling this moment, lol. This time they were all riding the wheeled gondola, Tama-Miyata-(probably Senga) from the left side and Mitsu-Gaya-Nikaido-(probably Yokoo) from the right. They were all wearing the Kisumai World T-shirt. Everyone except Tama did modification on their T-Shirt, Mitsu's has a torn up sleeves, Gaya's was an off-shoulder, Senga's being painted pink, and I didn't remembered the other two, lol. Tama wears the white T-shirt as it is with a worn-off jeans, and the black towel knotted around his neck like scarf. Even with those outfit Tama looked gorgeous and stylish ❤. Now I want to copy Mitsu's line, where on earth can you find a person who looks so good on T-Shirt??? I guess Tama was born with it. That even wearing a T-shirt alone can make him look like he's walking on the runway. Or probably I'm exaggerating. Or biased, lol. One thing I love was during this time, Tama's gondola stopped quite some time in front of my row. I was in Row 30 though so it was not that close, but using my spectator, I can see him crystal clear!!! I wished he stay there all the time, lol. Oh and his black boxer was revealing a bit below his T-shirt, hahaha~
On the double encore there were cuts of some songs, like Hikari no Signal, Ai no Beat, Shake it Up, Kimi to no Kiseki and last one was Kis-My-Calling. I loved this song a lot. As always, they let us shout their names by only singing the initial part. And during Tama's part, he stopped at 神様、女神様～so we could continue チャンスをください！I shouted my lungs out lol. Then it was really the end. They each said their thank yous and did deep bow at the end. But before they go back, I noticed Gaya made a face to Tama, and Tama was laughing embarrassedly. Gaya was about to say something but Tama stopped him. I didn't catch what Tama was doing so I became really curious. Then while they made one more round saying goodbyes, Gaya spitted the beans,”玉森はマイク落としたよ～” which immediately was denied by Tama,”落としてねぇよ！” Then so they disappeared into backstage like that. The last one to go back was Mitsu, but he made a piyo face before he closed the door. And so the concert was finished and I rushed to get out of the venue.
One staff was responsible for making sure the rotating glass entrance rotate in place, one person at a time, so he stood guard and rotated the glass entrance one by one. I think that's the most ridiculous job I've ever seen lol. And this is unrelated.
Hahahaha I'm sorry it seems my brain is not working properly anymore... I need to go sleep, it's 1:06AM already and tomorrow I need to be ready and leave hotel at 7:30AM. Good night~
