Hey guys! I`m in Japan and seeing SMAP! I want to share the two things I wrote about the two cons I went to, I:m going to see SMAP for a 3rd time tonight!!"!! I will everyone was here we need fun! fans! The japanese here are so tame!! I will write more as soon as I can!!!!
1st show
------------------
It was everything I wanted and MORE. I`m killing@some time at the internet cafe, because the crowds to leave the osaka dome is just pure madness. There is tons of people in that dome. But SMAP. My boys did me proud! I haven`t felt so fullfilled in the longest time. Just a mixture of so many feelings! I was very happy! And I can`t wait to go back and do it again!
I don`t know how much time I will have to write so I want to get as much down as I can about my first expericance. First buying tour goods doesn`t take very long. It was about an hour to get through every line. I learned from Lydia the word *zenbu* and how that comes in real handy! After buying tour goods we went back to the hotel to see our smap tickets waiting for us for tomorrow and@tokyo dome night! I was so happy! After that we cleaned up, went on the net and off to the train to the con! We missed a few stops and went the wrong way and even got spilt up arriving at our stop but all was good. We made it in time for the show about 30 mins before show time!
Getting to the con was easy. None of that :they are checking americans: that you hear on the boards. They took my ticket, tore off a piece and merely glanced at my bag. I was able to get in with a camera, but no fear guys! I didn`t push my luck or anything, I recored mostly the area and some bits of the con. We had pretty decent seats considering we bought them that day, 3rd level, 17 row. Lydia seat with some old lady and I sat next to two 10 year old boys who went to@the con alone. >-<
The set up of the stage was amaaaaaaaazing, so pretty with animals, waterfalls and the lights! Oh man! As the years go on the lighting gets even better! Who ever does the lighting should get paid the cash! He deserves it! The show started on time with SMAP coming out in the air! But when they hit the stage you can tell as the others dance, Nakai just stands. Oh man, he is worst off then I assumed and imagined! He is really hurting and it killed me to see him limp, strain and struggle through out the whole con! Nakai! My heart goes out to you! I totally understand if you have to sit one out! He did not perform his solo at the con! I want that man to rest! I hope he doesn`t stress because we all understand! We had a pack of Nakai fangirls sitting behind us trying to get his attention!
Now I need to tell you, I was very happy to bring my Goro uchiwa. He was the one I chosse to bring to my first con, since it was his FACE that got me into SMAP. But seeing the man live, it was just... DAMN, Goro is really@great looking and has an awesome body! His singing was top notch and I caught him just grinning from time to time, he really@ looked happy to be there! I felt he was easily on the top of his game!
Same with Tsuyoshi. He solo song really got the crowd moving! We kinda sat in a area with alot of boring people but Tsuyoshi`s solo got them rocking out! Tsuyoshi did have some great moments on screen with Goro.@They are totally my OTP!
Kimura really didn`t capture my attention! WHOA.@I love him but he seemed kinda forced, I love him but he seemed kinda forced,I really can`t put my finger on it, but eh. You had to be there! But don:t get me wrong! The crowd loved him sooooooooooo much!
Solo`s went as - Shingo, Goro, Tsuyoshi and then Takuya.
There was no Dynamite.
Lucky-san was done. A really old guy got called up. He did the twist with Kimura. 2 people from out block got picked! And 2 people from the arean floor in rows 9 and another really close one.
There was alot of touching of the background dancers! I noticed..
Outside the con. people sold the unoffical photos. I bought everything they had.
Tsuyoshi really gave v6 a run for the money, he did many backflips. All Goro did was some weak backrolls. Oh Goro, and during the solo dance! The solo dances were the BEST! A mixture of Solos and pairs and trios! Nakai was on the catwalk dancing with Tsuyoshi. Everyone cheered for Nakai, he really made a huge effort on the dancing bit! He even rode around on a bike later on..
There was the Shingo and Kimura kiss during Bang!Bang!Bakansu.
Shingo rubbed his face on Tsuyoshi`s crotch, yes this was a highlight for me!
The best song of the night was STAY. Shingo had some greeeeeeeeeat solo bits!
I`ll write@more when I think of more! Much love!
----------------------------
and the 2nd show
------------------------
Didn`t get a chance to post the other night because I was dead tired. I guess the sleep is catching up to me. Lydia stayed up later and woke up eariler before me, but now I`m awake and dressed and sitting here writing in livejournal. Yesterday, the zoo was just so great! I would love to bring my family here, everything is real cute and stuff! Only the Japanese could make the zoo so cuuuuuuuuuuute and at the same time really sad because they had a bunch of fake :dead animals: around the zoo.
We had a later dinner, ate some mcdonalds at the dome. Didnt see as many scalpers this time but did see more people buying more tour goods! I bought myself another set of uchiwas! it can`t be helped! My room will have the pop up theme!
I think we had better seats this night, A bit higher but a better view of the 2nd stage! The con. was exactly like last night, same set list, no Nakai solo bit, but I need to speak of the differances! Our section was DEAD, almost everyone was Kimura fans so they only really stood when he did his solo, came on the cart and such on. Me and Lydia basically stood almost the whole time, she wouldn:t stand during solo songs or Goro:s solo. We sang and gave it 110 percent! The seats behind us like 4 of them were empty so we really weren`t blocking people`s view.
As they fly out during Dear Woman, Nakai looks great, he got off the sling and went to his spot on the stage with ease, he didn`t seem to limp as much and did much more dancing on his part during the dancing solo`s. My heart still goes out for him! During Bang Bang Bakansu, not only did Kimura kiss Shingo but Shingo gave Goro the sweetest kiss on the check and the camera is thrown in Goro`s face and he just grins for a good 5 seconds! It was a great moment!
I was really for the 3d action, so my glasses were set for that. I missed some bits last time,
Tsuyoshi as a raccoon is the cutest thing EVER! When the dvd comes out I will be screencappin: that stuff and making me a cute icon. Plus the naked bits are good, that will be my wallpaper.
Saw alot of those girls in the outfits, you know the skimpy kinds. And cute ones in those men jumpsuits, I think the girls in the jump suits are much cuter than the girls showin` skin. Also there were alot of wheelchair people@ in special made up sections but whats weird is that during the con, they are up out of their chairs dancing and jumping.
Our section was dead. Again I sat behind a kid and some guy sat next to me. He bought his daugher. He wasn`t into it, until the end when he stood the whole time and did all the handmoves. Lydia says he was into it but he had a stone face the whole time. Why do the Japanese do this? Why can`t they enjoy themselves!?
Prob. going to another SMAP con. tonight, I will see how tickets go and how much money I have. But I think I will go.@Prob. go alone, since Lydia wants to spent 50,000 JPY on tokyo dome tickets.
Damn. I just need my `Can`t STOP! Lovin` and I will be set for life. PLEASE SMAP gods, work in my favor!!
