concert was absolutley awesome!
fortunately i knew how the showbox concerts go, so i was able to just walk in at 4 pm, got me and my wife tickets that allowed us to go in when the show started, and proceeded to enjoy hearing the dress rehearsals that they were doing.....hearing them do Stay Gold, and Dirty Desire before the show was great! The absolute best part was being in the front....if she wanted to, she coulda bent down to us and grabbed our hands, we were THAT CLOSE! I was awe struck when she came out....i tell you guys that she looks absolutely better in person.... As many has stated in the LA thread...mike rizzo is not that great, it's no fault of his own, he just seemed so outta place IMO... of course the show was EPIC, once in a lifetime opp, she talked about the weather, joked along her crewmates about how one of the keyboard guys was possibly watching porn on his macbook....rofl.... I thought I would be able to sneak more pix for you guys and myself....but the security there was TIGHT!!!!!....they were cracking down left and right....it was a shame honestly....this was the best i could do...you can only imagine how secretive i had to be in the front row.... oh....and we made eye contact during automatic....that made me go |

Just got home. It was a great great great concert. I was about a car length from Hikaru the whole night and she is such a professional. In this small venue it was so intimate that she had conversations with the crowd. The set was the same as the LA concert. I never saw so many J-folks out for the night. I'd say it was 80-90% Asians and there were some that flew from Japan.
I left work early to get in line at 4:30 PM and the line was about 100 folks long at that time. Both in front of me and behind me were many Japanese speaking folks so a lot of Japanese students and nationals were there. It was a lot of standing almost 6 1/2 hours for the night. I'm stiff. After waiting outside so long, you just want Hikaru to start but the warmup DJ from NYC mixed it for an hour. I think doors opened at 7:15, DJ on from 8 to 9 and Hikaru on from 9:15 to 11:00. Maybe I should have sat at the bar for a rest but it was farther away so I just stood up. It was a SRO with very few seats. Kinda of like being in an elevator. Nothing like seeing her up close to see her facial expressions on the songs. OK, she wore a mid calf magenta dress with over the knee black stockings and black boots. Very sexy on the lower half I might add. I noticed a black star ring on her right hand. Her hair length was longer that in the recent pictures about shoulder length with sort of a friz for body. She was very cute and there were many I luv yous going back and forth. Someone had a sign with some wrong kanji and she commented on it that they don't write a lot of Japanese and it was funny. I thought the Japanese songs were great and popular with the crowd. Automatic has to be the best crowd pleaser with so many folks singing "it's automatic". Some of the new songs really rock but I'm less familiar with them. You could see her anger in the song YMMWTBAM as she ended it wacking the drums. All of the ballads were good and she is very daring to sing Kremlin Dusk with all those precise notes. It showcases her ability to do it. Sakura drops she adjusted a bit to not do the very high notes from a younger vocal chord time. She commented about Seattle rain and how there are so many way to describe the rain in Japanese. She noted that so many of her songs have the rain in it too. But no rain today. Just a great concert that I very much enjoyed. I can now die happy and check off having gone to her concert as something I needed do. She wants to be able to return in 10 years and hopes to still be able to sing Automatic. I'll be there. |

come on it's Hikki... *Points to avatar* all you gotta do is say a word that sounds slightly similar to "kuma" or "bear" and I can guarantee you she'll jump right into the song...Im sure she's dying to sing it due to her Kuma obsession... |
