Sapporo is not a very good place for someone like me who comes from a tropical country..lol..super cold! but if it's for Arashi i will go as far as Mars or to Jupiter to see them.
The passage way to the dome is too narrow for the thousands of fans flocking the noah's ark...If i'm not mistaken there are only 2 ways to go in and out of the dome.
even the subway gets too crowded before and after the concert.
It rained on the first day..didn't queue for goods but God heard our prayers...
The sun shone for a while on the 2nd day...and i got my goods really fast
.
The boys mentioned during the 2nd day MC about a lot of fanboys present.I agree! I even noticed there are more kids and couples . I saw this old couple and the husband knows furi for some songs.lol
.
Tickets here are cheap (compared to Tokyo and Nagoya) and there were many tickets available online a few weeks before i made a decision. I had no choice but to go because my original plan was Osaka which was impossible at that time.
Surprisingly, eventhough the dome is big..the 1st floor and the second floor are not too high that's why you can see the boys clearly down the arena.
My first day, i had a good seat at the right side of the stage...stands but close enough to see the hanamichi. Jun was always on our side.kyaaaaaa!
Never mind my second day, but I'm thankful at least i was there. (laughs)... in fairness, the seat was ok and we got decent view.
.
The MCs for both nights were so funny...it was so difficult to react on time, blame it on my super poor nihonggo. But my favorite would be the fanboys shouting they like Arashi. Honestly,I wanted to shout too, ARASHI, MAHAL KITA!
I wonder if they will hear me...
Last year, it was Sho kun...but this time around, that BRAT who kept on promoting Mario,made this gorgeous face during typhoon generation and gave me my fave solo for this tour became my concert ichiban. He was so kakkoii! I hope i get over with him soon because it's seriously yabai if i don't!
The backdrop is so amazing. I think i saw that style in Madonna's Confessions concert tour.
If most of you feel that Everything is a forgettable song then you should see the concert.The video is too beautiful.
For me,Ichioku no hoshi's counterpart this year is Bokuga boku no subete .I love the perf and they danced to it.
Aside from Believe, my fave parts of the show were the medleys
and the part where they were at the hanamichi moving around the arena. It started from A day in our Life, Hadashi and Oh yeah! Super fun!
This concert is super special for me because it's their anniversary tour.
Both nights, they played with my emotions.
The opening gave me goosebumps.
I seriously cried during Ashita no kioku .I lost my super exotic contact lens ( without grade) on my right eye at the height of the concert because of too much tears...I realized that i was wearing only one at the train when i checked myself on the mirror.lol
The video after that just makes me so proud of them ( video of their achievements) and the tears continued...
then,they came out with the raincoat costumes and made me laugh all of a sudden.
and the 5x10 song, i broke down again.
I have seen Arashi in 2 venues last year but their japan shows are the best.
Bigger stage, the video wall, the little fireworks during Believe,fire during Truth, the colorful water fountains during Jun's solo.
The atmosphere is quite different compared to overseas shows.
Again, Arashi took away my heart (and my money)
and it's still left in Japan.
I don't know how to take it back.
It didn't come home with me...
I miss them so much!

;___; This entry made me nearly cry.
Sapporo was a blast, my first Arashi concerts ever and I miss the, even though I'm still in Japan and will stay here. But there's no chance to go to Tokyo or Nagoya, so I still feel pretty desperate atm.
(Yesterday Tokyo Disney Sea Event and didn't get any tickets either... So frustrating =/ )

thnak you.
be positive, i'm sure there are more chances to see them especially you're in tokyo unlike me who is far from them.
I will go back to sapporo if that's the only way to see them again
