1st Jan 2009: Tokyo Dome
YAMAPI TOOK OFF HIS SHIRT IN FRONT OF ME!
It was during the 2nd encoure when they sang NEWS Nippon I think and Yamapi was on the movable flat U shaped cart when he took off his shirt in front of the section I was sitting at!!! Everyone screamed like mad including me! But he threw it to the level 1 section. :( And then Koyama took off his shirt too but he was wearing a black tank top beneath it. Then both Yamapi and Koyama put their arms side by side and there was letters tattoed on their biceps! I could only make out K something. Since I had became friendly with another Yamapi fangirl from Hong Kong beside me who had a pair of suuuuuper binoculars, I asked her what letters they were but she couldn't really tell too. She said it looks like KNR. Any guess what it stands for? Initially I thought it might be KK for Koyama Keiichiro but it's definitely 3 letters.
More about MOLA! Yamapi starts at the center tip of the stage furthest away from the main stage. He actually comes out from below the stands or stage holding a bouquet of roses!!! He wears black pants, white sexy tank top, a black jacket with glitter along the edge of the jacket where the buttons are (like the HwM in Pacific con I think), white shoes and sunglasses!!!!!!!!! FUCKING KAKKOI!!! I didn't notice yesterday but today he threw the bunch of roses to the lucky fangirls!
He then takes off his sunnies and starts dancing and singing. Halfway through the song, he gets on the small movable platform and zooms to the center of everything (halfway to the main stage only) and continues there. Performance is of course HOT. After that is Ryo's solo.
Yesterday, Ryo sang Ordinary for his solo. Today, FiVe plays the Ordinary intro but when Ryo comes out, HE PLAYS CODE!!! Everyone screamed like crazy including me!!!
Sorry, this time my thoughts are very jumbled up so I'm hopping all over from whatever that comes to my mind so the order of events are jumbled up.
After the customary encore, everyone started chanting NEWS and they came out! They sang NEWS Nippon and were on the carts as mentioned above. After that, they went back in again but everyone started chating NEWS again and they came out too! Sang Yume no Kazu dake (I think that's the full title?) And shouted 'Arigatou' without mics. Seriously, can hear!!! Amazing how when everyone is completely silent, we really can hear them without mics.
NEWS intros. Massu started the trend of asking the crowd questions like who they like, whi's the best looking etc. so everyone will shout his name. Next was Tegoshi. OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Tegoshi's hair!!!!!!!!!!! He used numerous hair pins to pin up the sides! KAKKOI!!!!!!!!!!! Well, so Tegoshi did the same thing as Massu. And........Yamapi did it too! Biased me shouted even louder when it was Yamapi! XDDD
Koyama was first to introduce himself. He wished everyone 'Akemashite'. After that, when it was Ryo's turn to introduce himself, he started talking in a high pitched voice. KAWAII. And he repeated some things the other members had said. After a while, he went back to his normal voice though. And apologize for his crazy behaviour just now I think.
Ryo totally manhandled 2 juniors man! He was in front of my section when he tickled or hug a chibiko. Walked a little while and did it again to another chibiko. XDDD I didn't see it but the girl beside me told me that Ryo had pulled his neckline of his T-shirt down to tease fangirls. And he was super high! Ran a few times to the stands area where lucky girls in level 1 of stands were. If the barricade wasn't there, he would have been trampled to death!
Massu's solo is totally growing on me. I didn't like it the first time I heard it and still didn't too until yesterday. The chorus's melody is super catchy and his dancing is awesome! Oh, and at the very last encore, Koyama let Yamapi end the whole thing and he kinda pretended he was out of breath and needed some help I think. And Massu came out as if he was going to help him. In the end, Koyama had to come out to do the ending.
I couldn't understand most of the MC this time. :( Need to learn Japanese in 2009. They talked about yesterday's Countdown, Yamapi being born in the year of the cow, Tegoshi's hair and maybe something else, I'm not sure.
Started with Yamapi being born in the year of the cow. Blah blah blah...then suddenly Yamapi said something like at the Countdown, he wondered if he'll be alright because he's the same zodiac sign as Koki. XDDDD HE WILL BE THE CUTEST COW EVER I TELL YA!!!
Something about which other group's songs they each sang and Shige said he did Real Face. Everyone in unison said 'Kakkoi'. Then someone said something like he is indeed very real face? I don't know. :S
On the subject of Tegoshi's hair, I think he said that it was the last Dome concert so he wanted to do something different. Seriously, VERY COOL. He should do it more often.
Oh yeah, during Hoshi wo Mezashite, NEWS gathers at tip of the entire stage (where Yamapi starts his solo) and the platform rises while silver confetti rains down with a big spotlight from above them. Seriously, the confetti sparkled! Really looks like how diamonds sparkle when light shines on it. Very very pretty!
Before everyone went backstage after the last encore, Tegoshi took off his shirt at the main stage and threw it to the crowd but it didn't get far and got stucked at the black speakers in front of the main stage. Someone else then said he later better go pick it up. XDD
Oh. During FiVe's performance, Ryo came out and played the electric guitar too during the chorus but this time no Tegoshi.
Ok, that's about all that I can remember. Most exciting part is of course Yamapi going shirtless in front of my eyes!
*END OF CONCERT REPORT*
Enough spazzing! On to other matters. I went Meiji shrine today again too to watch the crowd and there was tons of people. Didn't go to the shrine part though as we just wanted to go to the souvenir shop. There was tons of temporary stalls selling food. I had yakisoba, croquette and more azuki bean fish (really need to find out what it's called).
After that, I crossed the road to get to the opposite side as my mum saw a lot of temporary stalls too and I SAW THE INDIO SHOP! They're having 50% discount sale now for Russ-K items! Sadly, the grey long sleeved shirt Yamapi wore for the winter collection had only size S. But I still bought it. XD Contunued to Takeshita-dori and saw another Indio shop. Saw the same grey shirt too but there was size M so I bought it as well with the intention of selling the S size one. Continued walking and saw yet another Indio store. XDD They only had the black long sleeve Yamapi wore for the winter collection in L. Since they had a fitting room, I tried both size M and L and sadly, could only wear L. Really need to lose weight. I prefer the white one but beggars can't be choosers so now I need to sell the size S and M tees.
After Harajuku, I went to Shibuya. Loads of mega huge billboards I tell ya! Immediately after exiting Shibuya via the Hachikou exit, I saw Toma's Voice billboard. On the next building was Kame's upcoming drama. Also saw KAT-TUN's QoP DVD billboard, NEWS's Color album blinds kinds of banner where it changes to other ads and many others. Oh! And walked the famous huge cross junction where dramas always love to zoom out and show it with mega tons of people walking.
I didn't really walk around much at Shibuya but between Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku, I prefer Harajuku. So in order of preference would be Harajuku, Shibuya then Shinjuku. Went back home after walking around for a while in Shibuya.
Oh yeah, I'm so glad I became friendly with the Yamapi fangirl from Hong Kong beside me. She has been a fan of NEWS and Yamapi since their debut in 2003 man. At least I didn't feel so alone during the concert. :)
