1964 olympics.
the vip audience stands on the left had been converted to the main stage for this con imagine the fountain of water shot above this height O.o...
and the torch is the black structure on the top of the right side of the stadium in this pic.
and now the aaa themed yellow and purple flags dominate the flagpoles instead <3


thank god the boys didn't do the mjwalk to light that torch XD

the songlist was perfect, especially right after the mc, from re(mark)able -> truth etc with songs growing with emotional power and stirring us to an insatiable climax till the end

and nino did his old piano time con solo!!

and jun did his tell me solo without the fake hair and bandana!!
so what if it still felt like a duck pop singer doing a rock solo? so what if one of the ah beng guitarists jumped off his platform to land on his bum in an effort to act cool?? it still got everyone really high!! especially in non-neon-inflammable clothes
now i know why he needed to keep those shades on for this number, coz when he took off his shades and put them on his head in the middle of the song today... my... O.o he looked so pretty and fine and un-intimidating, it took an effort to watch him make the effort to look intimidating ORZ... hmm... maybe don't shower for 2 days, and you'd look closer to a rock star baby
but with the live band, and the proper attire, and his gorgeousness fitting or not, the solo was still a hit in a funny way^^

as for sho's solo... orz... was part of that... english??
i've never heard a rap piece read out like a man on his way to the guillotine
ok, that's it, don't ever read what you're supposed to rap lol

aiba provided the slapstick funny-ness in this con
btw, they did la tormenta!! yatta!!
aiba did this sort of like a je-style-clumsy-breakdance thing when he lifted his body with one arm and kicked his legs in the air, and tore the seams of his pants
and nino had to pin him down and flashed aiba's black knickers at the camera man so that we all could see it on the big screen XD
ninochan, you're such a sweetheart <3
part of the mc was about this too^^

then aiba lost the jankenpon at the fighto song and had to strip and jump into a transparent tank of water
geez... i really love the water ideas ne~~~

and for some reason, there was a really adorable part where jun and aiba was squabbling about something and jun had this cute irritated expression and he grabbed aiba's hand and chewed on his fingers!!

and they sang arashi!!

but the most spectacular song had got to be one love at the end
instead of just the usual confetti, they let out thousands of balloons!!
i only realized there was wind which never reached the the pits area around me lol when the balloons drifted slowly out of the stadium!! O.o
suggoi!!
there'd be arashi branded balloon droppings all over tokyo tomorrow ne~
and the ultimate high was the wall of water again at the end of the song!! it lasted for quite some time too... till everyone in the arena near the mainstage was completely drenched i think XD
well... it was just too beautiful for words O.o
i was so touched i felt teary here...

that's why we were just screaming for them to get their arses back on stage

and they didn't disappoint us and did 3 damn long encores or was it 2 damn long encores? lol

and at the end of the 1st?/2nd? encore, they let out a series of amazing fireworks after kotoba yori daisetsuna mono!!
i think all arashi fans reached a high that they never reached before lol
it just made me kind of teary again ><

then the boys came out and jun said some really sweet stuff... as usual <3333

geez... this concert was just so amazing in so many ways O.o
i'll add more when i can remember anything else... my head is kind of shaken up by the love they put into this show ne^^

btw, did i say that their costumes were superb this time? sleek and kirakira and gorgeous at the same time <3333333333
