Kuricon ‘07 – Days 5 & 6
Day 5 – 25th December 2007
Christmas Day at Hachioji :D This time, no search for primary school = no cow farms, thank goodness. On my itinery, it was mainly Kyon for today!
It was only Bonnie and I going for this “pilgrimage” *lol*, since Stephie was meeting her friend, and Leli joined us later. We took the Yamanote Line from Ikebukuro to Shinjuku. And it was sooo packed at the train station, on the train, and I got sick, and had to pay 100yen just to get inside the public toilet!! 100yen!!!! In Singapore, public toilets are mostly free, and if we have to pay, at most it costs us 20 cents ne! 100yen is like 6 times that amount? *faints*
Then, from Shinjuku, we could finally have a seat on the train as it took us to the peaceful suburb of Hachioji. Ah, I’m back in Takki’s hometown again ne~ the feeling is good ne! ^^ I had onigiri *again* on the train, and we took pictures of the scenery while recalling everything that happened at the shows… It was on the train that I took a picture of our nails! LOL! Might sound funny but we didn’t even plan for it, and when we met, Bonnie and I actually had the exact same colour nail polish!!! :D
Time seemed to pass so fast when we were talking about Tono! We talked about all the kawaii things he did in Kimagure JET, his funny actions during the Matchy-san VTR, his Crazy Rainbow actions, his Yuki-chan hairwig, that Christmas Tree headgear, the uchiwa-kissing (and puking), the “GA” uchiwa… Everything and anything we could remember from the shows!! Soon we reached our destination station~ This is just one of the pics I took on the train:
Kuricon ‘07 – Days 3 & 4 [Concert Report]
First thing I must say: Takki looks exceptionally gorgeous this year *^*^* I’ve seen him 3 times, and he looks BEST this time!! The previous 2 times, although he looks really good, his face was really thin and bony/sunken (especially during Enbujou!) when you see him up close. But this time, up close with naked eyes, his face has FLESH, it’s not sunken, it’s not thin at all~~ PERFECT^^!!
I’ll do a general report for all 4 shows, and add in the changes of each show here and there… I’m much more confused this time compared to last yr, due to the different settings of each show! This is a rough view of the arena, and our seats for shows 1-4. The orange hand-drawn lines are the hanamichi, and the light pink ones are the paths in between the center seats which T&T used for their carts/platforms. And the dark blue lines are the paths where the boys moved during “Aishiteru ze, T&T” on the 2nd day (3rd & 4th show).
We were lucky that A-san got us REALLY REALLY good seats (*) for our ballots!!!
1st show (12/23 13:00): Arena A Row 15
*2nd show (12/23, 17:00): Center Block 1
*3rd show (12/24, 13:00): Arena D Row 22
4th show (12/24, 17:00): Arena B Row 7
If these seats were exchanged with each other, we’d have been unlucky! Here’s why: If we got the center seats on the 2nd day instead of the first, we’d have missed the MC talk — coz the MC was moved from main to center stage on the 2nd day! If we got the D22 (last row of arena) seats on the 1st day instead of 2nd, we’d miss the moving carts during Aishiteru ze (coz on the first day, this song was done entirely on the main stage)! HONTO NI ARIGATO, A-SAN & SARA TOO!! I really don’t know what else to say but I’m so grateful to you guys! *HUGS*
THE STAGE
Very pretty, very blue… though it wasn’t as “WOW”-ing as last yr’s, it felt good to see the words “Tackey & Tsubasa Best Tour 2007-2008″ on the screens :D I couldn’t manage to sneak any good shots of the stage coz there were security everywhere!! It seems tighter this year ne especially in the Arena area, there were security below, in the middle and at the top! But Stephie managed to take some shots somehow lol~ This was our view from our center seats, 3 rows from the main stage!!
Kuricon ‘07 – Day 3 [Concert Goods]
Day 3 – 23rd December 2007
We reached Shin-Yokohama Prince Hotel at about 9.15am, and met Leli :) We then proceeded to queue up for the congoods. The queue was longer than last year’s. It went up the stairs, round the bend, and all the way back to possibly across the whole Arena A seatings area.
Kuricon ‘07 – Days 1 & 2
Know what? I zenzen cannot concentrate on work OR studying!!! So… I’ve started on writing about this trip instead. Actually, I realised that I haven’t even written about Ikejiriohashi and JFC from the Enbujou’07 in July! *hides* But heck, I’ll strike when the iron is hot, when it’s still fresh in my mind :D
Day 1 – 21st December 2007
Fortunately 12/20 was a public holiday in Singapore, so I had time to pack and do some last minute googling of maps and directions. Also managed to sleep for 3 hours before heading to the airport. Our flight was at 6am. For the first time, I slept for a while on the plane… probably for about 1 hr while watching Ratatouille? The turbulence was making me giddy… We reached Narita airport at about 2pm, and roamed around the airport mall for a while. I bought a fleece jacket from Uniqlo, and had an Ebi burger at Macs.
Then we proceeded to the Meeting Pt to wait for Bonnie :) Stephie brought her laptop along so we were watching a bit of Yakusoku ~ Flowers Song ~ (none of us expected that T&T would be singing Yakusoku at the shows!). I stupidly din write down the flight no. of Bonnie’s so wasn’t really sure when her flight was arriving. Fortunately I decided to get a drink from an express bar (that was about 5 pm?), and on the way there, I saw a familiar blue sweatshirt hehehe.. and there Bonnie was, waiting with her luggage!! :-) We proceeded to the hotel, a 2 hour ride via JR~ Of course, we had to carry our luggage down and up flights of stairs! *sweats*
After checking in, we saw MSSP on TV! When T&T appeared, Stephie & I screamed!!! It was kinda out of no-where coz we didn’t hear the announcement at all that they’d be on… so I took the lift down to Bonnie’s room, and watched SAMURAI there kekekeke… All I remember was T&T being very high up on a platform that looked like a squarish wedding cake… and whatever Takki was wearing was kakkoii!! The performance was really cool!! And at the end, he was bowing to the audience halfway when the director cut it for commercial break *curses the director*
