How do you feel about having concerts at the Tokyo Dome?
Tusyoshi: There were fathers, mothers, small kids and girls, people who in terms of age are totally unconnected.,br>
Kouchi: Yes, there were..
Tsuyoshi: The feeling about being seen by so many people within 3 days, is that it's extremely exciting. I also feel that we had managed to create some very happy memories. This time we also sang some songs whose words and melodies are written by us. I think that the concert is one that has various kinds of excitement.
Comparing it with your summer concert at the Yokohama Arena?
Kouichi: Although if I have to compare them, there are differences, but for myself, in terms of feelings, whether it's in the Yokohama Arena, or Tokyo Dome, wherever it is, I just feel "Yeah, let's work hard on it."
Tsuyoshi: In terms of size , there is a difference, but since we did concerts at Yokohama Arena and Osaka City Hall as well, we do not compare them at all. Wherever we are, we just work hard to do our best.
The touching parts of this concert
Kouichi: Parts where I felt touched.... For me, it's being told "Happy Birthday" by more that 200,000 people. I was very happy about that. Really happy. Tsuyoshi, for you, doing the concert at Tokyo Dome. do you have any things that touched you?
Tsuyoshi: Songs written by myself...
Kouichi: revealing them...
Tsuyoshi: Having them heard by everybody. Singing at such a big stage. Also, feeling a sense of unity between Juniors and Kinki Kids, being able to create such a stage is a very happy thing for me.
Difficult parts
Kouichi: We also had a concert as part of J-Friends. The J-Friends concert, we only had a rehearsal a few days before it, and then we had to do the actual concert. So we just went with the flow of it.
Tsuyoshi: Tokio, V6 and Kinki Kids, we all have different schedules, so getting together is very difficult. But getting together to do a countdown concert at the end of the year as J-Friends, for me, it's very, how should I say this, it feels like having a silly party with my friends. It turned into a very happy memory for me.
Kouichi: It was just going with the flow, really.
Ideas coming from themselves
Kouichi: In terms of ideas, basically we thought about the sequence of the songs. But as we did it, there are ideas coming from people around us like "doing it this way might be better" and "doing it that way might be better". So we do a concert at Tokyo Dome for 3 days, but none of it is same as the other.
Tsuyoshi: Yes, that's true.
Kouichi: All three days..
Tsuyoshi: The rundown is different.
Kouichi: We just changed it bit by bit.
Our future schedule
Kouichi: I will be doing a musical called "Mask" from 16th January onwards. "Mask" is a musical done by Shounentai. I received it from them who are our seniors and it is a very grandiose, happy stage. Please look forward to it and for those who can come, please look forward to it. Tsuyoshi, you are doing a drama?
Tsuyoshi: I will be doing a drama called "For the sake of the future I had with you - I'll be back" which will start from 16th January on Nihon TV. Kinki Kids' new single will also be used as the theme song of this drama and will be released in late February. Please check out my new drama and our new single.
Plans for new album and visit to Hong Kong
Kouichi: In terms of plans for the release of new album, we really don't know a thing about it. (smiles) I think that if it can be released in the summer, it will be nice. When it's released, it will be nice if it can include a few songs written by us. As for plans of going to Hong Kong, we still don't know yet. But really, if there is such a chance, we would like to go there to meet everyone there. So please wait for us. And that was the Kinki Kids.
Tsuyoshi: That was (the Kinki Kids).
