May 22, 2009. Theme: none/all members?

Highlights: 1582, Nakamaru Jumped!!!!!, Utai Tsuzukeru Toki, Neiro

Soooo....this was our last concert. We felt extremely excited and sad at the same time because we know that after today we might have to wait until another year or two before we could be this close with our boys again. We arrived quite early at the dome and had our fill of Gindaiko's takoyaki. Today, me and lelouch sat together at gate 22 while nofsummer sat alone at gate 20. Our seats were located quite in the center and right in front of the front stage. Behind us there was a huge monitor. Me and lelouch this time was surrounded by various fans of KT members (and some kisumai too). To the right of us we had ueda's fans, behind us there were nakamaru, koki, jin and kame's fans. In front of me sat a high school girl who was a hardcore kame fan. Another gang in front of us were akame fans. So far we've yet to see junno's fans which broke our heart a bit. So lelouch and me decided to share some of our love to Junno too tonight, ahah. Later, I heard from nofsummer that she was surrounded by a horde of children holding kame's uchiwa. His old lady's heart must've turn into mush with all the fluffs, haha.

The concert started on time and the boys looked extra gorgeous today in my eyes (maybe because this was the last night and i tried to imprint all the sights in front of me to my brain, hahaha). The boys were also very very hyper today and the audience were also very warm as almost all members got their share of screams today.

The first part of the concert still had the same song list: started with Rescue (in which cool kame sat on the railing and then jumped down), One Drop (in which kame's voice was just love and the dance was just gorgeous), LIPS (in which kame continued to do dangerous things on top of his crane), Keep the Faith and Don't U Ever Stop (in which involved a lot of colour and cool dance), White Christmas (in which kame's christmas whisper earned massive screams again, incl. from the girl in front of me, haha), and Sadistic Love (in which kame's voice continued to give me goosebumps). Ahem...you must forgive me for concentrating so much on kame...hihi...During LIPS, Jin's Crane went to the direction of our row which made lelouch frantically trying to concentrate on him with her bino, haha. I almost cried during Sadistic Love because I had fallen in love so hard to this song (I squeezed lelouch hand so hard ><;).

Then my favourite favourite part of this concert. 1582!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today kame looked dangerously very very very very very beautiful. I looked to the huge monitor behind me at the part when he took off his mask and my breath practically almost stopped because he looked so gorgeous with all the sweat on his face and neck (why I felt so dirty talking about this, haha). His side profile worth all the spazz that i could muster, ahah. Then he went down with a rope (you could see a very concentrated look on his face as he went down) and then the song started. He moved gracefully dancing with the song and again took off his crimson kimono and the girly attributes to change to his manly side.  Kame with the sword was just major LUB. He looks so smexy and samuraish. I've noticed that he did few changes here and there during his solo for each different night, but tonight we have one of the prettiest fireworks display during his solo. After the water walking on his umbrella, he held two sparkles, one in each hand and twirled up as the sparklers fired. It was a very pretty sight, tho it made me worry that the fire might singed his skin...but this is kame, putting his life on the line to please his fans is just like having lunch for him...ahah. Then we had him flying between scrolls again which ended with him landed wrapped in those scrolls and the light went to koki and juniors with taiko. Then we have another very sexy bathing session which I enjoyed immensely, hihi....And I felt really really sad when the solo ended because this would be my last time seeing the live perf. of 1582. I felt a huge pang hit my heart :((

Me and lelouch had a great time singing Pierrot (almost to the full) and noticed that some typo has been fixed. We sang loudly and probably annoyed the people around us a bit, hihi. At the end koki pimped his bro, juri, to the audience and we got to see some brotherly love between them. We lent our wholehearted support to Junno during his Solo (we might be the only two who gave screams to junno in our row ><;). Koki hugged Junno again and jin again got massive screams when he supported junno at the end of this solo.

Then we got Yamada and Chinen rescued this time (lelouch screamed happily because she loves both of em ><). Again junno was pushed out of the cart by Jin and crawled happily back, LOL...oh junno....Then we have Nakamaru for another attempt at bungee. We had to countdown for three times before Maru finally jumped from the required 20 m. It was a quite dodgy jump but who cares? He managed to JUMP!!!!!!! The whole dome went crazy with screams (me and lelouch joined in the commotion). When he got back on the land, Nakamaru's ore sama switch seemed to have been turned on, LOL. You could see the change in his attitude. He looks so proud and rather smug at successfully finishing his task, he SO deserved it, so yeah...haha. The members ran to congratulate him and looked so proud of him. Kame grinned so widely like he had won a jackpot and tickled Nakamaru's side and continuously patting his back. The rest of the members also had time to get personal with nakamaru, haha (it was very very cute...you could really feel the love...hihi). Then we have to brace ourselves to another version of Mayonaka No Shadow. I seemed to have developed a soft spot for this song (maybe because kame sang it on his theme night) and felt extremely unhappy about it, haha. It felt sinful watching yamada and chinen singing this song, made me feel like a child molester ><; Then we have another junior song.

Peak continued to be the time for kame to scare the life of the staffs with his stunts in and out of his cage, continued with him jumping happily during Jumping' Up and No Matter Matter. I enjoyed Water Dance more and more for the lighting, intricate dance and all those water popping up from the stage. Today we also got a very beautiful akame harmonization during Moon. And have I told you how gorgeous kame was when he twirled his umbrella during the song? hahaha.

After ABCZ and Kisumai perf, we got Real Face again. This time, me and lelouch joined the rest of the audience singing it with gusto (we even attempted to follow the hand movement, hehe). Kame and Junno still did their share of rap, and Jin forced Nakamaru to sing his part. Then we have them singing HeartBreak Club and Miracle. The boys were exactly in front of our row when they sang this and...Gosh...all of them looked stunning. During Heartbreak Club, Kame touched Jin's back to remind him that he needed to get to the other side of the stage. Not many realized that small gesture which prolly explain why there were only small screams from our row and the row next to us, hahah. Lelouch as a hardcore akame fan was so happy, hihi. If my memory serves me right, it was during Miracle that Junno suddenly put sunglasses on, earning him mostly laughter (and some screams)...oh Junno...You're so KY...*hugs* Then we have UTAI TSUZUKERU TOKI! Yeay!!!! I really really love this song, it's one of my fave ballad from KT. Tho again...a quite short version of the song and the members seemed to have forgotten bits and pieces of their lines...ahah....But Kame gave the audience a wide smile and thumb up (Kyaaaaaaaaaa) as a gift for our participation in singing the song.

Another second part of solo. During Ueda piano playing, I looked at the monitor behind me and saw that his fingers shook a bit. I was touched because after doing so many concerts, he could still feel nervous. Then his fingers slipped  and you could see that he was quite upset about it. At the end he knelt down and apologize cutely (initially I thot he slipped and fell down, haha). Ueda's fangirl to our right cried proudly when he finished his solo. Then we have Nakamaru's solo continued with Jin's. Me and lelouch sang wonder loudly, locking arms and danced together ignoring the stares of some of the fans surrounding us, hahaha. 

Then battle corner. Ueda and Junno still re-enacted Romeo and Juliet. Ueda won again and stepped on Junno gleefully. TaNaka gave us another monomane of KT members in high tension. Then we have akame battle in which Jin this time won (Kame pretended to die by flying motionless in the air). Kameda embraced very very tightly again.

Then we have Wilds of My Heart and Neiro again. Jin messed up his lyrics a bit in both songs, ahah. Kame did the same for Neiro. During his part of last neiro, he forgot to sing his line and instead we were given a sight of him swaying right and left cutely. Then he suddenly sang "neiro" during jin's part (maybe he thot that it was his part), jin gave him a WTF look and we got to see kame smiled bashfully for his mistake. He sat on the railing and half-laughing embarrassedly. It was so kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. He adorably apologized to the audience for the mistake while laughing. *insert melting me here, LOL* 

The first encore was still the same like previous nights. She Said and Peaceful Days. The second encore brought 4 members of Kanjani 8!!!!!! yeay! I was so happy because Ohkura (the other three were Maruyama, Ryo and Yasu) was one of those four. Yeay! Tho no Subaru, hiks.. K8 gave KT flowers which was accepted by Kame who noticed their 8 days congratulatory message has the "8" written in K8 style. Then we have Harukana Yakusoku and Will be Allright. Jin and Ryo went together to center stage, while Kame and Maru take the right rear with Ohkura trailing behind. Maru enthusiastically taking pictures of both KT and audience. At one time Ohkura passed our row and him in real life = very handsome. Kame jumped all around the dome fervently (where did he get all those energy????). and in the end KT bowed again and just like that our journey to watch KT concert came to an end and we had to drag ourselves back to the hotel with a heavy heart.

Epilogue:
Watching this concert, I felt so proud of KT. It's amazing how they could pull such a massive scale of concert. I am happy to have taken part in this amazing amazing string of concerts. All thruout the concert, you could feel their dedication to their work. All the divide and bitchslap within fandom seemed so petty and insignificant there. We saw how much have they poured all of their energy as a group, as an entity consisted of 6 unique members, for these concerts.  KT might not be the mushiest group in JE world, but they have been together for almost 9 years, thru the risk of disbanding and fights, and this concert has proven their unity as a group. So, who are we to question their bond (or the lack of it)? Watching this concert, I am so proud to say that I am KT fan because they deserved all the credit and so much more.

Now....it's only fitting that I end this with some flails dedicated only to kame (like I havent done enuf already, haha).
I remember reading in one of magazine translation (i guess from nono96) that Kame admitted openly that singing was not his forte (I cant believe that some ppl still accusing him of being arrogant when he is someone who can humbly admitted that openly). And I know that some within KT fandom itself have some irks to his existence as one of the main lead vocal, some even accusing him of ruining the harmony of KT voice. If you're one of them, then you need to watch him singing live and then you will see why he is chosen to accompany jin as one of KT lead vocal (but fandom is a bias place, so maybe you will still retain the bias even after watching it, haha). As for me, I am so proud of him who have managed to jump over the wall of his voice limitation and provided us with an extremely beautiful performance, singing and visual wise. Watching KT live perf, I am able to appreciate more not only Kame's voice but also the voices of T-TUN in their respective role.

This concert has also showed me the real version of a very hardworking and extremely professional Kame. I was touched from time to time at his efforts to please us fans with his awesome solo performance, high energy and generous fanservice. Each day he always gave the deepest bow. Each day he put his 200 percent in the concert. Sometimes during his longest talk at the end thanking us fans, I thought: "kame...mou ii. We are the one who should thank you for giving us such great performance". So Kame and KT, thank you, really really thank you, for giving me such memorable concerts. You guys are the best!
