Stage
The concert is held at Tokyo Dome. This time the concert does not have arena seats. The stage is set a bit like a spider with 5 smaller stages that spread from the center stage. There are also two huge tractors on the sides which will be used later for lifting up cages. There are 4 ballons hanging on the roof which are used to release the hundreds and hundreds of ballons during the concert. There is also a ballon with "Kinki Kids" written on the side and it circulates the venue.
Beginning
The concert began with Juniors entering the stage and then Kinki Kids entered in 2 cages that were suspended with the tractors on the ground. The first song was Cinderella Christmas.
MC
*The sequence of the speech might be wrong, cos I can't remember the sequence of the things they said, guess it's my age getting to me now...
Kouichi: I will be appearing in a musical called "Mask" and I heard that a lot of people could not get hold of the tickets. So, anybody here who could not get hold of tickets, please raise your hand.
Tsuyoshi: (raised his hand as well)
Kouichi: (looking at Tsuyo chan) Rather than not being able to get hold of the tickets, you did not get the tickets. There is a difference between "could not" and "did not".
Tsuyoshi: I called Kouichi the other day and I told him that I would be appearing in the musical as well and I would be doing this strange dance at the back. (started dancing in a really strange but cute way)
Kouichi: (smiling) No! You are NOT appearing in the musical.
They mentioned that they will be releasing a new single on 24th February and this is the title track for Tsuyo chan's new drama "Kimi to ita mirai no tame ni - I'll be back".
Talking about his drama, Tsuyo chan started to talk about kiss scenes. Tsuyo chan's previous drama never had any real kiss scenes. Ummm, except for the one he had with Kou chan.
Tsuyoshi: This time I have 2 kiss scenes in the new drama.
Kouichi: I had scenes in which I fed water from my mouth to Yuki's mouth in "Harmonia" as well. At first, we were just mimicking the actions without actually doing it but the producer told me to do it for real.
Tsuyoshi: This time, in the 2 kiss scenes, I will be the one getting kissed. Just now, I had finished filming the first kiss scene.
Kouichi: What kind of scene?
Tsuyoshi: Scene in which I get kissed.
Kouichi: Describe it in more details!
Tsuyoshi: Ok, I lost!
Kouichi: ??????
Tsuyoshi: I lost.
Kouichi: What does that mean?
Tsuyoshi: I still do not have a kiss scene this time.
Kouichi: (smiling) Your first kiss scene is with me. Unforgettable!
Tsuyoshi: Yes, unforgettable! It was such a miserable experience. (laughs together with Kou chan)
Kouichi:What was your impression of it?
Tsuyoshi: Air?!
Kouichi: Oh, yes, you breathed some air from my mouth.
Solo Parts
Tsuyo chan sang 2 songs written by himself. The first one is called "Shiroi sekai e" (Towards a white world) and the second one is called "Samazama na ai" (Various kinds of love). In the intro to "Shiroi sekai e", Kou chan played the piano for Tsuyo chan .
Kou chan sang a song written by himself. He did not mention the name of it during the 2 concerts I saw. He also sang "Dou nattemo ii" (Whatever happens, it's fine) which is a song from "Mask" originally sung by Shounentai. He looked so sexy when he danced in "Dou nattemo ii", I almost fainted there....
I can't remember which song it was, but in a part Kou chan acted as though he was attacked by the Juniors and then he jumped on a motor cycle and started circling the venue in the bike. He looked so "kakkou ii" on it!!!
Happening
There was this scene before the ending when they would sing a song while running around the venue in opposite direction and then go back to the stage then say goodbye to the audience, and then jump onto the cars on each side of the stage (one car on each side of the stage) and the cars would start circling the venue again in opposite direction. Tsuyo chan and Kou chan sang the song and ran around the venue, but then when Tsuyo chan finished running around the venue, he forgot that he had to go back to the stage first, he jumped onto the car on the side which was supposed to pick up Kou chan instead of him. The staff waiting in the open car looked really puzzled and tried to gesture to him not to jump onto it, but Tsuyo chan jumped in. Then Kou chan was already back on the stage and started saying "thank you and goodbye". When Tsuyo chan heard Kou chan talking on the stage, he remembered what he was supposed to do and quickly jumped back to the stage while smiling. Tsuyo chan looked so cute then. I got to see it so clearly cos the car that Tsuyo chan accidentally jumped onto was right in front of us. He looked so kawaii.
Comments
The concert is rather short, lasting for only 2 hours. The reason I guess is that they had to clear the venue for the J-Friends Countdown Concert afterwards. But it was really great. This is the first time I get to see Kinki live. Kou chan is really beautifule and Tsuyo chan is so cute. When Kou chan waved goodbye to the audience, I wanted to cry. I just could not bear the thought of being away from him again.
The seats that we initially got were really bad. They were at the back of the venue. But Johnny's noticed that there were empty seats in the side facing the stage and started moving us towards the side facing the stage. I was so grateful for that. But I have to say that some fans really have rather bad manner. There were these girls in front of us who were waiting for the staff to exchange the tickets for them. Instead of being grateful, they kept saying "Hayaku! Hayaku!". The staff was doing something extra for us and was already under a lot of pressure. I understand that they did not want to miss any parts of Kinki's concerts but I just think that they could have been more polite to the staff.
