Tokyo: Day 5  
31st Dec 2008: Tokyo Dome

OMG I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE FROM HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!

Just came back from my first NEWS concert! I don't know if it's good or bad luck but my seat was really the last row from the top! I was sooooooooo glad I bought another ticket for tomorrow's concert otherwise I would totally cry from this lousy seat today. To be honest, my first NEWS concert had not a lot of action but still significant as it's my first! Unfortunately, with my bad memory, I couldn't remember the set list but thank goodness it's the same as yesterday's. Now, time to spazz!

Firstly, YAMAPI IS SO FUCKIN HOT LAH!!! I love his dance in Ginza Rhapsody and MOLA!!! It's so freaking cool! And hot! My fervour for Yamapi just became hot again! I swear I almost died when he started dancing! I wish I was smart enough to bring a binoculars to ogle at him though. Koyama's dance during Ginza is hot too!

NEWS also performed a original new song called Share with the lyrics written by NEWS members. While they sang it, in the background there's a video playing showing clips of NEWS from the time they debut. Without Uchi or Kusano of course. I guess a lot of people would tear and feel emotional at this song but the most emo song for me was Hoshi wo Mezashite. I teared a little when they started singing it. Because it's the first NEWS song I ever heard and immediately fell in love with it. Can say it's the song that brought me into NEWS fandom.

There wasn't any special guests today as I suppose every groups was there liao, waiting for Countdown. Hopefully tomorrow will have. Five was the band and they played the song, 'I' which I absolutely adore! Love it ever since I heard it on SC. And.........during the first chorus, Ryo came out! Playing the electric guitar! And then Tegoshi appeared playing the tamborine! Should have been Shige right. XDDD

I didn't really understand most of the MC as my knowledge of Japanese is still rather poor but it seems like they were mostly talking about dramas that they've acted in. They made Yamapi do 'Hallalujah Chance'!!!!!!!!!! *dead* And he did 'Nobuta Power' too! I wish he did 'Kon Kon' too. And when they came to Shige, I think someone asked him to do 'Hallalujah Chance' as he had no memorable line in any of his dramas and Yamapi suddenly said it should be 'Shige-lujah Chance'! XDD And Yamapi did 'Shige-lujah Chance'!!! *dead again* The best part is after NEWS said their goodbyes, Shige was the last to go in and he did 'Shige-lujah Chance'! KAWAII!

Massu said his line from Rescue. Something like 'Ranger ???? masu.' in a very deep and manly voice. After a few times, NEWS asked him what exactly he was saying and he slowly pronounced every word clearly and they said totally didn't sound like it. *agreed* When it was Tegoshi's turn, he did the usual kissy pouting face. I swear, inside him he is soooo sao! Also, when they were talking about Shige's Hokaben drama, I think Koyama said he watched it and thought he was cool in it but Shige called him a liar and I think Koyama in the end admitted he didn't watch Hokaben. :P Koyama also said he saw Massu's Rescue poster (I did too! At one of the train stations today!) and thought he looked very cool. But when he tried to imitate his expression, totally not cool. XDDD

At one point of time, I think Koyama said Yamapi got Code Blue experience so he can save anyone in the concert venue. Then Massu butted in saying now it's his turn to rescue people as he has the Rescue drama. Oh, and Yamapi said again that Ryo abused his Rei from ProDai in Last Friends. XD

That's about all I can remember and understand. I really can't wait for tomorrow's concert now! Better seats! I think concert going is quite addictive. Really very shiok to go concert. I WILL go for the next one unless it clashes with school. I'll make sure I study hard next year and graduate ASAP so I don't have to take studies into consideration.

Now, Countdown!!! THE DESIGN IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't buy last year's as this year's one is 10000000000x better! I was planning to go Shinjuku early in the morning but when I saw people queueing for Countdown goods, I couldn't resist joining. Queued for 2.5 hours and spent half an hour buying everything. The Countdown stations had no queues at all but I was in the NEWS and Countdown goods queue so had to wait ages. In the end, I left the queue to go buy Countdown goods while my mum continued queueing and I joined her after buying finish in like 5 mins.

Seriously, I'm elated! The period when I'm in Japan has the nicest concert goods! The Countdown uchiwa is sooooo fucking pretty! Black with pink heart outlines. The shopping bag too! If only it was not just a paper bag. I would totally use it as a normal bag! The Countdown uchiwas were too pretty to resist so I bought 1 entire set of NEWS and Arashi to sell and 1 Yamapi and Aiba uchiwa for myself. When I met Aishah at Dome to go to the concert, we saw that NEWS's Countdown uchiwas were ALL sold out already! The only group at that time! *ureshi* This means Johnny's shop will NOT have the uchiwas even. So better grab one from people selling them now. After the concert, most of the group's uchiwas were sold out too. I kinda expected that cuz this year's design is really very pretty and worth buying.

AHHHHHHHH! Can't wait to camp in front of my TV later and watch Countdown live! I shall hold my Yamapi and Aiba uchiwas and imagine myself there. Why......Yamapi's year too. T_T

I'm super happy today! I think I'm going to burst from happiness! Well, off to have my dinner and shower now before the Countdown starts! NEWS最高!

Spazzing aside, other things. Now I know why everyone runs at the concert venue. There's soooooo many people in one place at the same time! There just isn't enough time to get to your gate! On the subject of people, I think Johnny's queue can enter the Guinness world of records already for the longest queue. After I bought my Countdown goods and was going back to the hotel, the queue had became super duper long! For those who have been to Tokyo Dome, the end of the queue was I think near Korakuen station. I think it circled the Tokyo Dome mall somewhere before ending there too. I think if this queue was in Singapore, would probably be from Yishun until Orchard. along the train tracks.

Another funny thing was when the concert had ended and everyone was leaving. The air pressure in Dome is actually a tiny bit higher than outside to help keep the ceiling afloat so the door is those turnstile kind to minimise the amount of air escaping from inside. So when everyone was leaving, the door kept spinning and spinning. As a result, the air pressure difference was super crazy. The moment I stepped out of the door, the wind was so fucking strong!!! I so big size also felt like I was going to be blown away! But after walking out a bit more, everything went back to normal. Seriously, can do the Marilyn Monroe action there with winds that strong. XD

Ok! Finally off to prepare to camp in front of the TV!

And ahhh, I think I might keel over from all your spazzing or from that the fact that I haven't had breakfast yet (it's 8 AM my time) lol. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Yay for your first JE concert being AWESOME. And omg, I want to quote your entire entry because everything was so adorable! and spazz-tastic! Pi, NEWS......*squeee*.

Pi and Aiba uchiwas. I'm DYING!!!
vtsoccagrl[info]vtsoccagrl on December 31st, 2008 01:22 pm (UTC)
and I'm also glad that Pi and NEWS didn't let you down. That they re-sparked the fangirl in you and hopefully, made your Japan trip much much more memorable *hugs*

Watching NEWS live made me realize that I like them as a group more than I thought I did. I'm proud to be a NEWS fan!
shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 01:22 pm (UTC)
OMG THEY SANG BOTH GINZA RHAPSODY AND MOLA?!?!?!?! *..*
shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 01:25 pm (UTC)
And you'll be able to hear the countdown!!
If it's not too cold keep the window open xD
shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 01:27 pm (UTC)
What about the juniors?
Was ABC or Kisumai there? :DD

I'm commenting too much now xD
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on December 31st, 2008 01:30 pm (UTC)
YES! YAMAPI SANG BOTH GINZA AND MOLA! Seriously, MOLA killed the remaining brain cells I had left! I so want a DVD now. *drools*

I could probably hear the Countdown if I stand outside Dome but it's super cold man. And I rather watch on TV.

I know MAD was there but I didn't hear any other junior group's names. They introduced some other people by their individual names though but I really know nothing about juniors so I don't know who they were.
shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 01:41 pm (UTC)
YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!! :DD
I want the DVD too!

What about tomorrows seats? Are they going to be better?

shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 03:12 pm (UTC)
You're so lucky to get to see the countdown ;___;
TVU player messed Fuji TV and NHK. And keyhole tv is not working ;__;

Jessica[info]j_halo7 on December 31st, 2008 04:20 pm (UTC)
I just posted the spazz worthy stuff about Countdown here!

Tomorrow seats is at level 1 or 2, I can't remember. Definitely way nearer to the stage. I wonder if I'll manage to get a signature board!
shinigami_93[info]shinigami_93 on December 31st, 2008 04:22 pm (UTC)
I'll keep thumps uup for you :DD
[info]xpinqs on December 31st, 2008 02:25 pm (UTC)
Wow the queue was so long?!!?! Yishun to Orchard?! HOW MANY KM IS THAT?! XD
I'm trying to watch the countdown on tvants/keyholetv now and it's taking so friggin long to buffer!!! KeyholeTV doesnt even work now~ My comp is lagging real badly too ...... *wishes she didn't try starting the programs up only now* T_____T

I agree about the queues entering the Guiness world records.. Lol :D
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on December 31st, 2008 04:22 pm (UTC)
Well, it felt like Yishun to Orchard but I don't know. I know I queued for 2.5 hours and the queue where I joined was considered reasonable. After I finished queueing, I think the queue doubled in length. :S

I just posted spazz worthy moments of Countdown on my LJ here!

I seriously think JE should combine their powers and enter the Guiness world of records for longest queue.

xaralind: news//backgroundlights[info]xaralind on December 31st, 2008 03:30 pm (UTC)
OMG! I'm totally spazzing out here!

If I don't feel as broke in a week or so, I'm totally gonna buy the concert goods you'll sell.

AAH I WANT TO BE AT A NEWS CONCERT TOO!
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on December 31st, 2008 04:25 pm (UTC)
Shen, shen, shen! NEWS's concert goods this time is really worth buying. Everyone looks fantastic in every item. Which items are you considering to buy? I mainly have extra T-shirts (isn't cheap but worth every penny), 3 posters only. uchiwas, photo sets randomly bought and pamphlets. I've not decided on the prices though.
xaralind[info]xaralind on December 31st, 2008 04:41 pm (UTC)
haha how much are t-shirts! and i want a poster! and and and ehm -- pamphlets or uchiwas - i don't know, xD.

i totally want a DVD for this concert, too. =D
you lucky girl! i really wanted to watch countdown too!
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on December 31st, 2008 04:47 pm (UTC)
I'm so sorry but I'm won't be able to give you an estimated price for the concert goods now. My mind is busy enjoying Japan to think about this. But for the T-shirt, at least $55 because it's expensive. I only have extra Yamapi, Group and Shige poster. Pamphlet will maybe be around $45 as it's expensive and very very very heavy. :X Oh, I have extra handphone strap too which is quite nice. We'll see about the prices later though. I really haven't given it much thought.
shiyan_21[info]shiyan_21 on January 1st, 2009 01:44 pm (UTC)
omg will u consider selling ur extra hp strap????

i think its look nice!
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on January 1st, 2009 01:52 pm (UTC)
I will of course sell the extra items I bought otherwise what will I do with them? XD I've not decided on the prices yet though as I want to concentrate on having fun in Tokyo plus I won't be able to quote the cost of shipping. When I create a selling post for it, I will most definitely cross post to je_sales.

As for your other question, yes, I'm a Singaporean.
shiyan_21[info]shiyan_21 on January 1st, 2009 03:35 pm (UTC)
haha icic!

okok! this is so cool! i am singaporean too...ur mum is so good!!!!

i wish i can go NEWS concert but my mum probably thinks its siao....
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on January 6th, 2009 06:14 pm (UTC)
Hi, I've posted what I'm selling in my LJ here. There's only 2 handphone straps available so be quick!
Jessica[info]j_halo7 on January 6th, 2009 06:17 pm (UTC)
Hey, I've just updated my LJ with a selling post for NEWS concert goods together with many other tings here. The prices are relatively high but it really took alot of effort and time to queue and handcarry home. If what you want is still available, comment and I'll give you a small discount. ;) Be quick though!
shiyan_21[info]shiyan_21 on January 1st, 2009 01:43 pm (UTC)
omg u ao are so lucky!!! are u singaporean?
massu_gyoza: massu-love[info]massu_gyoza on January 1st, 2009 02:06 pm (UTC)
Thanks for your report!!! Really very envious and happy for you for your first NEWS concert...
How was massu's rescue poster look like??? Really curious and dying to know, did you took a pic of it?
I saw pic of countdown uchiwa and shopping bag , it's really pretty and lovely ne with lots of love love...(' ',)
The queue for countdown goods is really long ne, sure can win guinness world record de...
it's the love for JE boys that causes them to wait patiently to buy those goods, i think i will also queue up no matter how long if i was there.
Ur mum help u to queue for concert goods? so lucky of u to have such good mum, is ur mum JE fans?
