Kyocera Dome Concert (this must be a dream)

1st day:

Took the 9.15 bus from Nagoya. the girls on both my front and back seats also going to the concert. I was alone and so lonely I'm eavesdropping at everyone's conversation.

then got lost when looking for my hotel. I'm so houkouonchi (can't find direction), I always got lost whenever I go to a new place and always go to opposite direction from what people tell me. It's completely my fault, but the hotel-person feel so guilty that he gave me one free meal.

When I got to the Dome, this is how it looked:

 

From kids to obaachan, there were boys too, girls as pretty as Toda Erika, and I saw this very cute boy (high school probably) who looks just like Kohara Yuki >_<

the concert goods stalls

I bought all uchiwas, t-shirt, diary and the bag, one of the photo set and those are the tickets

 

Now about the concert:

my seat is in back, for the Japanese it might be considered a bad seat, but for me it is unbelievably near. I mean, my distance with them was usually an ocean.

I love concert, all those penlights and the sounds, and I sang along the WHOLE time. like karaokeing with 50.000 other people around.

- Nino's dance was as sloppy as ever and that's what I love about him. his solo was deadly cute with checkered shirt tied on his hip. Off tune, but allright.

- Jun patted captain's head. they're so cute together!!!

- this is the sad part : omiya sk announced that they won't come out anymore.

omiya sk reason : - arashi told them not to come anymore

                           - taka(oh-chan) is pregnant (his belly really had bump in the video)

nino-ohchan reason : jimusho told them to stop.

- the MC was amazingly funny, this is what I can remember (not in order)

1. They talked about food and Aiba went on and on about how he loves karaage

aiba: it's the same as how you would surely ask for cheese hamburger everytime for bento!

nino: it's night. no one eat karaage in the morning!

and aiba just talked and talked until the DoS said "don't you talk too much?" and with a "come here!" he pull Aiba to his side.

2. Captain is into ramen now. recently he treat all of them ramen and he complained it was too expensive. talking about treat, "You never treat right?" Sho said pointing at who-else. "Do you even have a wallet?"  seems like where Nino keep his money is still a mystery.

lately they'll say "I'll pay here!" when going out together, because it feels good to say that (like you can look down on the other and say "I'll pay"). of course, the coolest one is Jun, he's the type that when they ask for the bill, don't know since when, Jun already pay for them.

3. Aiba talks about Sho always get pissed in restaurant. Sho was just more adorable and hyperactive than usual the whole concert. sasuga my number one.

4. in Osaka Dome, there's only one shower and one ofuro. when Sho was showering, Aiba came naked, "Together! Together!" in high tension and he slipped and fell. "Think about the situation! He fell naked and me, naked too, saying 'daijoubu?! aiba-chan daijoubu?! inside the bathroom"

Nino: "Think about what WE in the changing room feel! suddenly there's a loud bang from the shower and a scream and ' Itai! Itai!' and 'daijoubu? daijoubu?' "

5. when they were teasing Jun about bambino, Aiba had a cram and hastily take off his shoe and Jun just start massaging his feet while other tried to continue the mc. the scene of Jun massaging Aiba's feet was unbearably sweet. He-who-hates-to-be-touched-by-other-people.

6. something about how recently Sho's been quarreling with his mom for a month, and how he'll read news afterwards (quoted by nino).

 

I cried during Namida no Nagareboshi. I've waited so long for this concert.

 

Sho's solo is hot (there's fire and stuff ^^), he really reminds me how much I like him as a person, because his solo was so hip hop and 'bad boy' and cool and everything but then you'll see how charming he is as a newscaster and made me think just how deep the self control he has, how perfect he is in every occasion. I want to be someone like that.

Jun's solo is dangerous. he was riding a balloon and I can't stop worrying since it doesn't look so safe.

what must I say about captain? he's perfect. period.

Final words for the 1st day :

I used to pray so hard that Arashi would be number 1 in Japan. I hope they'll get busier than ever, win every awards available, that someday not knowing them is a humiliating thing for a Japanese. from the deepest of my heart, I want them to beat everyone and have the whole Japan look up to them.

But, watching the concert, how they feel comfortable and happy with each other, how they LOVE us fans, it doesn't matter anymore. 嵐は嵐でいればいい。Everything's fine as long as Arashi being Arashi.

 

2nd day:

I shouted so much I lost my voice the next morning. because my seat is a lot better and there were times I could really look at them clearly and then I'll shout their name like there's no tomorrow.

and in every ancore, I shouted 'arigatou' over and over again.

the mc is about their latest 'exercise dance', hard to explain, it has to be seen. maybe sort of mixing of popular comedian's move and mukimuki dance? I hope someone have a fancam because I was totally dying seeing how funny it is. Sho kills during the whole thing.　Apparently he kept doing it in the changing room too.

then, something about how if anyone call 'Bambi' right now, both Jun and Sho would answer.

my favourite part is when all of them ride balloons. Nino looked like a little boy. and that's the part when I scream the longest time I've ever scream in my life. NIIINOOOOOOOOOOOOO...................................................

Final words :

I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN! PLEASE COME TO NAGOYA! BUT IF YOU GUYS COME TO OSAKA I THINK I'LL COME ANYWAY. JUST LET ME SEE ANOTHER CONCERT BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE OCEAN OF PENLIGHTS AGAIN (? not arashi? but I really like the penlights. and me shouting)

 

oh, on the way to hotel after the 2nd concert, I ride the same train with some Kansai Juniors. Kawaiii....

 

about Osaka:

the food is great!!!!!

Feeling that familiar ache at the back of my eyes reading that.. Glad you've enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the experience!

[投稿情報: xin]

Ah!! What a wonderful experience! Reading about it makes me want to be there more and more. ^_^

[投稿情報: shuekim]

I so agree with aishoni.

my hands were over my mouth and my eyes were big reading your report.

i so want to be there. and you went alone.

i have the money and the will but no concert tickets and no friend to go.

if only i know you.

glad you had a good time. :-)

ohmygosh..your description of your entire experience is just beautiful! It makes me strive harder to get myself to one of their concerts sooner xP Ahh..but this is Dome..

Glad you enjoyed yourself :)

[投稿情報: doki-doki]

Oh my I loved reading your experience at the concert! The naked Aiba and Sho incident in the bathroom really cracked me up! I'm glad you were there and had a great time ... Like everyone here, it made me feel more sure than ever that I must make it to their concert someday.

Arashi saikou! :)

Thanks for this very wonderful account!  My heart cracks and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. :)

I wish I were in Japan right now to experience something like this.  I know this might be overboard but seriously, seeing Arashi is a life-altering experience.  I've only been to their Taiwan Con but those are memories that I will cherish forever.  I agree with all of you.  I will strive harder so that I can see them in Japan someday...

Thanks again for your entry.  Arashi fangirls are the best! ;-)

I nearly cried reading that. so so true. and I guess I'll never truly know how IT feels until the day I see their concert for myself.

OhmiyaSK are so baka..poor things though, the jimusho doesn't seem to like them much xd
Glad you had fun, hontou ni. I feel your every word.

[投稿情報: Dúnadan]

First - Ohmiya SK. I guess like what Nino said before, it's best to retire the duo when they are at a high and jimusho doesn't seem to support these two. Poor boys lol!

Second - Bambi. It's cute how even after years since KCE (even though they just had the 2nd movie last year), Sho still goes with his "Bambi"-nick. And now, Jun wants to tag along. I mean Jun has so many characters but he wants BAMBI too. But I bet if you call him "Shin" or "Momo" or "Domyouji", he won't reply to them. Then again, "Bambi" is a very nice nick.

Third - Nino. He never pays when there's others around who's willing to - smart boy!

Fourth - Naked. naked!aiba + naked!sho = nosebleed!fangirls

Fifth - Sho. Awww I wonder why he's quarreling with his mom about.

Arashi as Arashi is Love! Thank you for the report hina-hun!

you are so very lucky..thanks for sharing!!

Oh God, I love these accounts! The Aiba/Sho shower moment = too funny! I'm still mourning the loss of Ohmiya SK, but I have to say...I've been noticing lately how Captain just seems to be glowing so I find the pregnancy thing infinitely amusing. I want to see the 'bump.'  I really want to see this balloon thing.  Are they tethered or something? I don't want to read about some great Arashi Hindenburg tragedy in the papers tomorrow...

今風邪がひいて、明日試験があるから、今寝たほうがいいけど、このポーストを見た時読んだりコメントしたりしないわけない！と思いました。ひなちゃんはコンサートに行けて、本当によかった！潤君に送ったメールである希望が本当だということになっちゃったね！
AWWW残念ね…大宮SK
「嵐は嵐でいればいい」すごく感動してます。アタシ嵐のコンサートに行ったことないから、そこで経験する感じをちゃんとわかれない。でも、ひなちゃんの言葉を読んで、コンサートの雰囲気を本当に感じてます。嵐は嵐でよかった！
とても深いポーストを書いてありがとう！アタシ留学生として日本にいる一年間の間にも嵐を目の前で見ることができたらいい！
（ごめんね。すごく下手な日本語で書いて）

in Osaka Dome, there's only one shower and one ofuro. when Sho was showering, Aiba came naked, "Together! Together!" in high tension and he slipped and fell. "Think about the situation! He fell naked and me, naked too, saying 'daijoubu?! aiba-chan daijoubu?! inside the bathroom"

i was constantly laughing at this one...i can almost imagine aiba-chan naked XDDDDD and also a naked sho comforting him! XD these 2 are really really close these days ne?

 

Nino: "Think about what WE in the changing room feel! suddenly there's a loud bang from the shower and a scream and ' Itai! Itai!' and 'daijoubu? daijoubu?' "

i hope they joined the other two instead! XD

 

and...i wonder why sho-chan's quarelling with oka-chan? ^^'

 

thanks so much for your account...

i was deeply moved by your message for the 1st day...sou ka...as long as arashi remains to be who they really are, as a group or as individuals...kitto daijoubu deshou? ^______^

[投稿情報: Zai' Dayz]
