The audience at my NY show was so unbelievably charged up, which made me really surprised . . . I have this feeling I'm writing impressions like this again and again but you know, it was really awesome . . . such a greatness of my hometown!I found this person in the front row, who was standing in line from the midnight of the day before!! It's almost like the release date of popular video games . . . I wonder if I happen to have lots of avid fans in NY or NY people are all crazy like that (lol)

shit I originally went to irving plaza at 6pm the day before but then i came back home and went back at 2am with my girlfriend. one of our friends took a pic of us at 4am before anyone even came. when utada heard she said we were crazy but hey we are dedicated fans especially when i waited fo this for 10 years, way before kingdom hearts, thats also why i teared so much during the concert. being dead center in the front row was more then any experience a word can define and it was worth the wait!

WOW, looks like you got pretty close!! Me, Aa-chan, the two Jenny's were like.. 20 feet away from the stage. I blame this on them making me check in my bag. I got so much wrong information when we were on line -- I heard it was OPTIONAL and you could take yer bag in but then I go in and they're yelling at me to check in my friggin' bag and having to pay $2 or more if you also included a coat. I only checked in my bag -- $2 isn't that much but it was still hassle because we could've gotten closer... >_> At least Aa-chan held a spot for Jenny and I when we were done with it that... D:

And, omfg, Mariko and Okaasan got screwed over SOO bad!! They could've been closer to the stage with us but they ended up all the way in the back of the crowd!! DDDD: She told me all about it over deviantART. It was just another case of security guards relaying absolutely wrong info! T__T;;

Anyway, haha, we were wondering what happened to you when we were inside. X'D "Where'd Alex go?!! I don't see him or Mariko or Okaasan! ;A;" ... but it's great to know that you got really close!! AND THAT YOU HAD (pseudo-)EYE CONTACT!! XD !

Mmm that was me. I figured it was random and loud enough to hear from the back ... I even got someone else to shout it with me later!

I was kinda hoping she'd do a request. (I was the one screaming for "Boogie Back". I just love hearing her sing that chorus.) I'm glad I got to see her, though, and I'd go again for sure. I really wanted her to hear my remix, too. ^_^; Maybe next time.

I was the one who told you that was a throwback! Major win! I was hoping for requests too. I asked for Traveling and Wings, especially when she got on the Piano. She killed it when she did that and then she did the DI, KD, & YMMWTBAM combo and that was it for me. The show just got better the more she sung.

Haha yeah I was in the third row! I ran ahead hoping to get really close to the stage and save spots for you and everyone else from our little group while you checked your things, but then I saw that they hadn't opened the doors yet, and we had to wait for like twenty minutes in this dark crowded hallway (some girl got claustrophobic and threw up!) until they let us in. I kept looking behind me to try and find you!! That whole situation was really stupid. I ended up cutting a LOT of people when they finally opened the doors and everyone ran to the stage, but I didn't feel too bad because most of those people cut us earlier that morning! XD

It occurs to me now that we should have had one person check all the coats and bags while the rest of us went ahead, then have that person come find us in the front. Next time!

I thought Mariko and Okaasan were supposed to be in the balcony??

I was SO hoping that Mika would make a surprise appearance. I love his music and his Freddie Mercury-esque voice. ^__^ (Does anyone else wonder how on earth they became good friends?) I guess it's different than Hikki showing up in Tokyo on Mika's tour though, since everyone there de facto loves her, while most people at the NY show don't give a crap about other contemporary music. Lol, I felt so bad for Rizzo. When he said, "New York, I can feel the love!" I laughed because he must have been 100% sarcastic. XD

I'll scan some pictures I drew when I get home today! :D

Ooh, and I saw you, Cathy~! I think I also saw Taboo when she arrived and walked to the end of the line. But I'm way to shy to say something like, "Hey, I know you from Utadanet!" ;__; M-maybe next time... But still cool to see some faces. o3o
