1st night
- The staff at the gates gave out newspapers where our boys are on front page..kakkoii!!!
- We were all surprised that there were no moving stage, moving carts, special effects except for the water and the smoke ..very Un-arashi..lol
- they only used the main stage plus the mini stage just infront of the main ...not much fanservice...but we can see how much the boys wanted to get close to the people.
- Jun was really super genki..and lots of rabu too between the members.
- Sho looked tired, he had big eyebags..i hate the video walls...it made Sho chan looked ugly..when he is not!!!! ggrrr!!
- Aiba received the loudest screams...sugoi!
- MC: Ohchan was so cute when he said these english words..."ONE NOODLE PLEASE"
- My friends got me a VIP seat ,It is slightly elavated part at the back just across the main stage... That area is so dull...and most of the people there did not stand up at all....i was just behind the officials in the long table, so during the ist encore, when they were in the hanging platform ( gondola) ,OHCHAN gave me a peace sign.I know it's real and it's not an illusion because there were only 3 of us standing and waving.....i was holding his uchiwa!!! OH LORD!!!! I wanted this to happen since the Tw cons......I would have been luckier if there was a rear stage.
- 2 encores only...i felt that the Shanghai crowd was too boring... .sorry!
- we were kinda disappointed after the con, because it was not what we expected..it was like a regular arashi show/guesting minus the concert factor... we didn't know that officials had sort of restrictions for the concert.
2nd night
- They arrived at the venue at around 4pm..
_-Sho was wearing a cap and his sunglasses,black jacket, he stopped for a while and waved to the fans, Nino had a green swearshirt, Ohno was wearing a black jacket too..Aiba and Jun walked too fast..
- Ohchan and Nino's uchiwas were sold out!!
- before the concert, fans were giving out a piece of paper,with a message written in chinese, english and japanese asking us to sing Happy Birthday to Ohno kun after Beautiful days( 2nd encore)
- Aiba again had more fans , followed by Ohno..and then Nino...
- MC: They were amazed how people know Nihonggo and each members said a bit of chinese words and asked if their chinese was good, they also ate crabs and Ohno pretended to be crab, the members picked their fave parts ,his legs and arms, Sho asked if we saw the flowers sent by the director...
- plus a Kawaii kun monomane of Love so sweet. the crowd also requested for Wish and Jun also did it with him.
- ABC and kissmyft2 sang one song each..
- my seat was at Block 10, 680 only..but it was good enough.
- this time the sound system was good, but Jun's mic was too loud during One Love!
- 4 encores with Fight song!! ( yipee!!)
-The crowd was more genki ......and indeed, 2nd night had more FUN!!!!
- Almost all the seats at Block 13 were empty..it was a lonely sight...just before the show was about to start, the people seated at the top most part of Block 15 were being asked to transfer and fill up the space.
- after the con, a lot of fans waited outside the North hall , many of the fans were at the roof of the hall, some even climbed the trucks where the generators are placed.
I came to Shanghai with so much doubts..
No ticket on the first day, but i was able to get a very good one.
Also fears of fake tickets.
IMO, there were about a hundred scalpers scattered across the stadium wearing black jackets..they looked like goons in action films..and worst, they had all the good seats.
I dont think i'll ever come back and watch in Shanghai for a 3rd AAA...( that i am not sure!haha!!)
the ticketing system was a mess!!
the con goods were more expensive..
the movements of the boys were very much restricted during the cons.
I am not saying i am dissatisfied....
but i saw them outside the venue twice,
saw them perform and gave their best..
so yeah..IT WAS WORTH IT!!
AAA3? I want!! 2009 onegaishimasu!!
