BPR音樂祭 Vol. 3 - Hong Kong Live Experience!! :D

Ahhhhh! So I went to my first live yesterday!! So me and my friend arrived at the venue at ~1:30pm. The event opens at 6pm and starts at 6:30pm. We got our tickets at 3:30pm and got the merchandise at 4:00pm. >W< (this is a super long post. Be aware haha)

So we walked around and we found the venue quite quickly, since it was on the ground floor XDD So me and my friend got lunch from starbucks and walked around until it was around 2:30 to 2:45. I expected many visual kei fans to not come to the BPR concert because it overlapped with Dir En Grey’s concert ;3;

A fan made a banner and left it out for us to write down our messages <3 we later gave it to Kiryu, Royz and Codomo Dragon!! ;V;

Then we waited until we got our tickets!! I thought the tickets were going to be really far from 1 (and far from the stage), but the tickets ended up being 15 and 16?!!??!?!?!! :OO (believe it or not). I crossed it out bc it was originally posted on my IG story and I didn’t save the original pic ;V;

We had to line up outside (to get the merch) so that was really sad ;V; and it was burning outside. Thank god there were trees blocking the sun in some parts. The lines of getting the merch and the tickets were different, and so we left our bags in the merch line to get our tickets. Then we came back~

There were approximately 15 to 20 people in front of us during the merch line. Originally it was only 15 but friends kept cutting the line so ;3;

I got 11 Kiryu cheki (one was already in my wallet LOL), the Hyakki Yako Kiryu fan and Kiryu’s towel! My friend got 13 cheki, 10 Kiryu, 3 Royz. But she got 2 Subaru cheki that looked nearly the same so she gave one to me (in exchange with an old Koudai cheki I bought from home).

Since my friend likes Hiyori and I like Mahiro, we traded XD So I got another Mahiro cheki!! :DD I also got extra cheki from another fan, but they’re the older ones (they’re in a stack (Kuina)).

In total, I got $1140HKD worth of merch. Every $500, you could get a 6/5 shot with your favourite band. The live DVDs sold out when ~15 people already got their merch.

I also wrote fan mail to Mahiro ;w; so I left that on the table?? I’m not sure if it was actually the box for the fan mail and stuff, but I just left it there? XD Because there were also other letters and stuff there.

We hung around until 5:45pm and lined up in the order of our ticket numbers. But once we went in, the numbers on our tickets didn’t matter because everyone just rushed in and went to the front. Me and my friend didn’t want to stand in the side (on the front) so we stood on second row, in the middle.

But it got really crowded and so people went to the row behind us. There were so little people, only approximately 5 rows of people. We left our bags over on the bars. But then I realized my water bottle was there, and I was holding my kiryu fan ;V; I ended up not drinking any water for 2 and a half hour and kept my fan in my shorts’ waist bands XDD

This Japanese Codomo fan asked the girl in front of me to switch with her since Codomo was going first (we knew from looking at the instruments). She knew all the furi for Codomo so me and my friend just copied her XD Hayato kept looking at the people who didn’t do the furi hahaha.

I met Yume’s eyes, as well as Hayato and Men Men. Men Men came over to our side (near Yume (on the right of the stage)) and stared at me for 2 seconds LOL.

I only knew Isolation, Kuro To Aka and Right Evil ;V; They didn’t perform Hemlock or songs like Halo so I didn’t know the furi. During Right Evil, I accidentally hit my head against my friend’s head XD Hayato saw us and gave us the “are you guys okay” look. The last song (which I do not know the name of) had us headbanging pretty quickly so my neck started feeling really tired after that. XD

During the MC in between the songs! Hayato first asked us if it was okay if he spoke Japanese, and we all said yes. He thanked us for coming and told us that it’s been such a long time since coming to Hong Kong to perform. Then Codomo Dragon introduced themselves. Yume went first, then Chamu, Men Men, Hayato.

During Chamu’s turn, before he could say anything, a fan shouted, “JUNJI!!” And everyone laughed haha. Chamu was like, “I’m not Junji, I’m Chamu.” And everyone laughed again.

Hayato purposefully left out Kana, and so Kana went, “STOP HOLD ON!” Because Hayato already said, “WE ARE CODOMO DRAGON!” And told us to repeat what he said.

Then Hayato introduced Kana in this Italian accent(?) but then Kana protested, “I’M NOT ITALIAN!” Hahaha.

After Codomo Dragon, it was Royz’s turn. Royz played 3 new songs and so literally no one knew the furi of that. They played RIP first, then MASK (which I forgot to learn the furi of- and so I followed the crowd XD), then the new songs (including the title song), Emotions and The Beginning.

Subaru threw his water bottle in the middle of the performance, but I think his hands slipped and so the water bottle flew straight (yes, horizontally) to a fan, and the fan in front of the fan who caught the water bottle got water splashed in her face. (I think Subaru felt really bad haha).

I couldn’t see Tomoya at all, since the fan in front of me kept covering his face (and since the drum set is so far away). During the MC, Subaru basically said similar stuff to what Hayato had said (excluding the introductions).

RIP! :) I really like that song, but I didn’t know most of the furi D: So I just followed the Royz fans in saizen (front).

During Emotions, I knew some parts of the furi. And during the beginning, we had to oritatami (is this what you call it??). And Subaru kept looking at me (I was really scared because every time I look up, his eyes would be looking at me). Then near the end of Emotions, Subaru pointed the mic at us and we all sang~ It was very nice and Subaru looked really happy :D

At some point for Royz, Subaru took off his earpiece because it fell off or because it was not working. And at some point, Kuina’s guitar was covERING EVERYTHING and I couldn’t even hear Subaru’s voice. But it was later on fixed.

And then in a flash, we were already at Royz’s last song- The Beginning! They didn’t sell the light sticks on that day (I don’t know why though, they didn’t even sell Kiryu / Royz’s t-shirts). But the fans still brought them from home! I don’t know the furi well, so in the end, Kuina saw me struggling and told me to clap my hands, he smiled when he saw me following XD (Sorry, I didn’t really pay attention to Koudai because he was always on the left and I was near the right hand side of the stage).

THEN DUN DUN DUNNNN MY FAVOURITE BAND IS COMING UP!! While Junji and Chamu were setting up the drums. I got so shocked that Junji, was just… there, that I accidentally yelled, “JUNJI!” and everyone around me just stared at me and gave me the ‘what the fuck’ face.

I remember most of the songs Kiryu performed but the order might be slightly mixed up. 拡聲ニ蝕ユ蠢, 十三夜 (not sure about this one), 雛奉, 彩 (irodori), 百鬼夜行 (hyakki yako), 天照 (amaterasu), 曉歌水月 (Kyoka Suigetsu).

During the first few songs, the furi was super messy since the crowd had to separate (jumping to the right and vice versa), then backwards, then forwards. So we kept on bumping into each other XD

During 十三夜, or a song similar to that, we’re supposed to jump and hit the person in front of us (I forgot this move’s name) but basically, the person in front of me didn’t get it, and she kept looking at me when I hit her back DX It was really light though, and I actually didn’t jump on her back-

Then 雛奉!! I knew the furi for this because they have an official tutorial on it on their YT channel! So it went nicely! But a lot of people didn’t get fans D: But since it’s an event, I can let it slip.

Irodori! I really love this song XD and he told us to sing the “asobi” part. But very little people did though. I think most of the fans there were Royz?? I’m not quite sure. For the chorus’ furi, since we’re jumping and waving (or turning? I don’t know how to describe it), it felt kind of windy because people behind me also had fans XDD

Woahhhhh~ and then my favourite song. I didn’t know it was Hyakki Yako until a few seconds in the song. It was because the music backing was so damn QUIET. But nevertheless, I loved every single second of it. The oritatami in the beginning, and the headbanging, then the jumping!! I managed doing the furi without going off beat <3 There were only me and other 2 fans who knew how to do the furi properly tho. Maybe even only me and another fan. Because one of them was next to me and another was in the front, and so she could’ve followed the fan in the first row. (It could’ve been possible that there were other fans who knew how to do it behind me, but I couldn’t see them, so-)

According to my friend, Kiryu was staring at me when I was doing the oritatami because I was the only few who knew how to do it. Mitsuki saw me quite a few times, and once I smiled at him and he smiled back <3 Hiyori also saw me when he went over to the right hand side of the stage :DD Junji might’ve saw me when I screamed his name (in between the sets) but I’m not sure.

I feel like there’s a song in between Hyakki Yako and Amaterasu, but I forgot the name of it- Because after hyakki yako or another song, it was MC time and Mahiro talked about how the song before Amaterasu was the third last song. So we kind of received extra MC time, since there were mic problems (or earpiece problems, I’m not sure) and guitar problems. Hiyori was really nice and immediately took action once the staff started fixing Mahiro’s ear piece.

He said, “Hello!” In Mandarin, and “Hello everyone!” In Cantonese XD It was really cute. Then he wanted to say, “We’re here (again)” but we didn’t understand what he said haha. So then he asked us how to say “we’re here” in Japanese. I shouted “來了！(LAI LE)” In Mandarin XD and others also did.

Supposedly, Kiryu was about to start and they played the first note until Mitsuki realized there was a problem with his guitar / guitar amp. We were really surprised and a lot of people went ‘ehhh?’ So Hiyori and Mahiro talked to us again ;o; Hiyori was superrrr cute because he said, “A moment please~” In English >///<

So then after the third last song (with le forgotten name), it was Amaterasu. I also know the furi for this one very well~ So I had fun. But at this point, I seriously could not hear the music backing, but oh well~~ <3

Then onto our last song!! I was so sad when Mahiro told us it was the last song Kiryu will be performing. I’ve heard from fans that Kiryu will always play 曉歌水月 (Kyoka Suigetsu) in lives to show the appreciation of the fans? >w< The furi was finally synchronised!! :DD

They left the stage ;V; and the lights dimmed back to blue. We started chanting encore over and over. People cheered when the staff took Kiryu’s instruments out :) But we still continued chanting encore. Takemasa was the first one to come back up and I remembered screaming with happiness haha. Then the rest of Kiryu, Royz and Codomo Dragon came up :) I forgot whether the MC went first or Ryouran Resonance went first, but anyway, let’s talk about the song first.

We were supposed to jump right (x4?) then left (x4?) while using our towels, but people got really confused with the beat and so we kept crashing into each other XDD But overall it was reallllyyyyyyyyy reallllyyyyy fun. I didn’t want it to end, and no one else did, but in the end, everything ends at some point D:

As I mentioned before, fans made a banner for them, and before the live started, we tied the banner on the bars so they could see it. During the last MC, Mahiro saw it and thanked us for making it. The front row passed the banner to Mahiro and Subaru and Hayato held it up. Mahiro was in the way so he was like, “I probably should stand on the side XD” and we all giggled.

After that, they kept thanking us and Subaru rapped? Or said something really fast and basically ended it with a “BAI BAI!” XDD We all laughed because I think a lot of us didn’t get what he said haha.

EDIT: I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE PHOTO. So here it is. You can only see my hand because Subaru’s head was covering me, my friend, the person in front of me and basically a bunch of other people. XD I feel like the staff should’ve stood up a bit so you could actually see the fans in the front two rows properly, but ehhh. It’s fine. A lot of people said, “Can’t even see (the camera)” in Cantonese when we were taking the photo.

Then that was the end of the live!! People who got the 6/5 shot ticket thingy had to line up again (but no one bothered to line up in order haha). We waited for ~10mins. I was so shocked that the concert was 2 and a half hours, I seriously thought it would only be 2 hours ;A; so I’m super grateful ;3;

The numbers I got for the 6 shot was 98 and 99, but I was the third person to take a photo with Kiryu XD Originally, I wanted to ask Mahiro to hug me, but when I saw them, I was so nervous and scared XDD I chickened out haha. But my friend was behind me, so she told Kiryu instead… o_O “She really likes Mahiro.”

The members face dropped haha, and my friend said their faces were priceless XD. I bet they thought, ‘why does she like Mahiro XD out of everyone’ ahahahaha. But apparently Mahiro didn’t hear her, so Mitsuki had to tell him, “She really likes Mahiro.”

Then Mahiro looked really shocked haha, “Really? (本当?)”. Then I nodded >_< , “Yes! (はい!)” Then he kept thanking me hahaha. And I thanked him too because I didn’t know what to do >___> Then I leaned in (lowkey hoping he would get the message and hug me) aND HE ACTUALLY DID. // dies // Then he told me, “よろしく。” and I said the same thing XDD

Since I was the third person, there were people lining up as well, and the moment they saw Mahiro hugging me, they gasped and talked among each other hahaha. After that, they kept thanking me and I kept thanking back XD and then I was also brave enough to tell them “You’ve worked hard~ (お疲れ〜)”. I was so happy and embarrassed I ran to the corner and just smiled like an idiot.

BUT THAT WAS NOT THE END! I still had one more 6 shot chance. So I took it with Codomo Dragon (my friend took it with Royz). There were so little fans that wanted to take photos with Codomo so I only had to wait for a few seconds. I was so scared haha.

I wanted to ask Yume for a hug, but I was too scared so I ended up not getting one ;3; but I felt Hayato and Yume leaning in when the staff took the photo. >////< (In the photo, you can see that I was really scared my hand would actually poke Yume’s face, but thank god I didn’t haha-)

I had lots of fun! >_< My next goal is to go to their lives in Japan~!!

BTOB [TIME] 2017 Concert Report (Hong Kong)

Hello ya'll! So I've went to BTOB's concert yesterday (14th of July) and it was super awesome!! Even though the venue was really big, the seats weren't all filled (and there was a section across me where it was completely empty ;;) But thank god it didn't look like a black ocean (or else I would've seriously be sad (I was so worried, gosh)). Since the concert "starts" (always late -__-) at 8:00, I decided that I would get there around 5:30.

You could preorder lightsticks so I paid beforehand so I could get it on the day (on the merch table). For some reason, the merch table opened at 5 (it was kinda late), and the VIP ticket holders had to start lining up to have their 'mini fanmeeting' with BTOB prior to the concert (for like 20mins only?? XD).

After I got the ticket, it was lowkey boring since I was alone (waiting for my mom again ahem) and so all I did for the next hour was stand around... (there were so little people after the VIP people were let in because a lot of them were VIP ticket holders). So at around 6:50 (yes it was really painful waiting for my mom ;;), my mom finally arrived and we got some food in this small cafe inside the venue (the food wasn't that good tbh).

At around 7:15 we decided to go through security check (because SHINee's one took forever?!). But it was actually really fast (and this time, they didn't even take out my stuff), but they did have a metal detector... (and they would give you a wristband once you pass (I guess it's for security measures...)). I got in at 7:20 (LOL) and found my seat ;v; this time, I decided to sit in block 4 (which is the sides) (when I got the tickets a few months back) and I was kinda at like in the middle-ish bottom.

There were so little people at the venue I started getting worried (and it was 10mins before the concert started). Then right before the concert started, a shit ton of people came in (in crowds) and they didn't have lightsticks so it was sTraNge (and it felt like they were paid to get in or something because the venue was kinda empty).

So at around 8:10, the lights dimmed, and everyone turned on their lightsticks... it's time for BTOB to shine!! They started with a song (that I don't know the name of (I'm so sorry orz)), but it was really cool hahaha, this time, I actually warmed up way faster than I previously did (than SHINee) and started screaming way louder after this song ended XD

And then it was I'll Be Your Man!! It was sO gOOD (kms bc Hyunsik's vocals ARE SO oN poiNT I CAN'T (and he's also my bias so it's like additional points)). Hyunsik always sings the higher notes / sustained parts (??) / the climax part of the song so it was really great being able to hear them sing in real life ;v;

Eunkwang, and Changsub, as usual, rocked too in vocals!! Then Ilhoon was like KILLING it (along with Minhyuk and Peniel). Sungjae was surprisingly good with his vocals (I think he improved (I'm so proud of my bby ;;)). So after I'll Be Your Man (this song is my jam;;), it was Thriller! (Flashbacks to weekly idol when they were saying how their dance in the intro looked like they were washing clothes haha). The chorus is like KMS ITS SO GOOD.

After that, they had their opening speech, (featuring Sungjae's broken english). Most of them spoke English (except Hyunsik (who spoke Korean) and also Changsub). Peniel spoke first and omg he's so cute ;; Then Minhyuk introduced himself and said "I'M YOURS" (like wOA WOA WOA OK. I THOUGHT IM YOURS BUT IF YOU'RE MINE THAT WORKS TOO (jkjk)). He's such a bias wrecker lmao, and Changsub scrunched up his face purposefully when he heard Minhyuk saying that (and cringed haha (like same)).

Oh yeah, and Peniel kept asking us, "was it fun?" (he was expecting "YESS!" or something like that) but in exchange, he received screams hahaha, so he was like, "I want an answer, not (imitates girly screaming)" LMAO. So when he asked, (for some reason), I was going to say yes, but I ended up saying it too early (that the whole venue was quiet) ;; (and I was really loud too omg hahaha)

Then after that, cue to a messed up setlist. They also sang Someday, Second Confession, Wow, Peniel's new song (solo), Hyunsik solo (he sang a Mandarin song), Sungjae solo (Goblin OST??), then Ilhoon, Peniel and Minhyuk did a collab (insert song name lol), The Movie, Beep Beep Boop Boop (this was the third song on the setlist). I probably would know more if I listen to their songs again (but I'm so tired right now because I arrived home at 12am and I only got 8 hours of sleep;; (bc I went to bed at 1am)).

Memorable parts of the concert: During one of the MC moments, Ilhoon was like "you guys are hot" (I was legit like, "woa wOA woAAH WhAT?") until he said like hot as in the sweating kind of hot (lowkey disappointed (JKJK)). After Sungjae's solo, since he was wearing this long coat (bc Goblin lmao), Eunkwang said he really wanted to try the coat (and the members said, "It'll probably touch the ground if you wear it" (LMAO)).

So when he did, it reached his ankles haha. They also told him to reenact to one of the scenes and it was really cute and funny. Oh yeah, and at some point, Eunkwang showed his abs to the audience (OMG hahahah) and apparently "Someone had left their abs in Korea" (BTOB members look towards Minhyuk). Eunkwang only showed his abs for 2 seconds and Sungjae said "it looks like white chocolate' LOL.

I don't remember which part of the MC, but Sungjae wanted to say how we're a really cool crowd or something, but then he was like "you guys are so tasty" in English LMAO. The moment Peniel heard him, he was like wtf bruhhhh X"D and he tried to correct Sungjae (poor Peniel lololol). BTOB is so good at making their fans laugh bc legit the members were like "see? naturally, we only have 4 members left" (when Peniel legit just walked out of the stage) so everyone laughed hahaha.

Minhyuk is also such a bias wrecker? I didn’t really see why he was so popular in the beginning (im sorry), but after seeing him rap, I’m like fucking in love (kill me pls). He also kept shooting finger(?) hearts to everyone so /dies/. When the backdrop had them

I love them so much ;;v;;

The fans also prepared some rose lightsticks but guess what? ONLY MY SIDE OF THE SEATS DIDN'T GET THEM :DDDD /salt/ and the members took a few of them away (lmao) bc they "were really pretty". The fans also prepared some slogans but they didn't sing the songs (that were for the slogan), but in the end Ilhoon took them up and made this impressed face hahaha (idk why but he always reminds me of an old man?? X"D)

As an overall, it was really great and in no time, the concert came into an end ;v; it was really fun and really worth it. I feel so satisfied and happy after watching them perform and so I hope to see them again!! ;v;

Not related to Kpop shit: (it's all vkei ;v;)

(but after seeing Codomo's photos in Korea, I feel really jealous ;v; and also Pentagon performing in A-Kon (like "guys, you have fans in HK too" loLOLOL)). Not related to Kpop, but when Morrigan's Ayu kept on hinting that they're going to have an European tour on IG, I got really salty becauSE I WANT THEM TO COME TO HK TOO OK /extremely live deprived/ (which is the result of me being salty at all of the bands not coming to hk lmao)

(but Versailles is coming to HK and I really want to go ;v;;;;;;;;;;;;; but at the same time, if Pentagon came, I would have definitely went ;v;;;;;; I want to hear Hizaki's guitar shredding but then no one likes Versailles (not that I know of) ;v;;; and I don't want to be stuck alone ;v;;;;;;)

Basically sad life lol. IM GOING TO WAIT FOR KIRYU, ROYZ AND/OR CODOMO DRAGON TO COME TO HK. C'MON GUYS, IM WAITING TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON YA'LL.

SHINee World V - Hong Kong Experience!

So hello everyone owo I went to Shinee's World V, Hong Kong stop's concert!! (This is a Kpop post, I know but I will be back for vkei in the future! So please stay tuned!!) :D I bought the tickets really late orz and so before I start, I would like to apologize because I don't really know SHINee that well (I know them but I wasn’t a Shawol or anything) and I went because my mom likes Taemin (and SHINee) a lot XDD (beware of this long ass post haha (it’s 2000+ words orz)

So we arrived at the venue at around 2pm? The merchandise opens at noon but I had this lesson that ends at noon so... We had lunch before we went to the venue (and the place is super far lol, but it's super close to the airport). Me and my mom took the airport express line from Kowloon (Elements?) to Asia World Expo and it was actually pretty quick (~20mins?). But the fare was super expensive OTL (though you get a discount if you show them your concert ticket).

There were A LOT of people lining up for the merch when I got there, but I wanted to get the light stick so badly (because I don't have one? XD) so I just lined up (like whatever haha). The line was super long, the merch was outside but the lines looped into the area where the standing went and waited. Around 30mins in the line I met people from my school lmao XD (so awkward bc we're actually not close?).

There were these people who approached us and asked us when we were in the line about whether we wanted light sticks or not (because they had "a bunch"). It was super fishy so I didn't get any, there were many cases in Kpop concerts where people sold fake light sticks :/// The official ones sold at 80HKD each but those people sold it at 60HKD each :////

After approximately two hours and fifteen minutes, I finally managed to get the merchandise :D Around halfway through the line, the staff gave us this sheet to write down what we wanted. In the end, I spent around 500HKD lmAO. I told myself I would only get the light stick and that was it, but you know what? I ended up getting an Onew fan, Onew key chain and these postcards (rip my money haha but it was so worth it). The Onew key chain is super duper cute!! owo (and yes my favourite member is Onew ouo)

It was around 4pm when we finished getting our merch, so me and my mom decided to go into this (kinda bad) cafe / restaurant place to sit down and eat something. I didn't eat anything because I literally just ate lunch three hours ago X"D Around 4:15, people were starting to line up. There are two places where you can go into the venue, one is on the ground floor, (for people in standing (who already got in) and people from the seating (block 5-13 (aka every block)) in the first rows. (A-M)). I was in block 10 row L so I had to get in on the ground floor.

Around 5:00 we went to line up and get ready to get in. The security was super strict and there were these Japanese girls in front of me who got cut off because they found a camera (but the girl said she went to disneyland and that's why she bought it). They took super long T___T until they finally managed to check my god damn bag. I bought a small-ish backpack but they literally took out everything T______T I understand that they didn't want any cameras inside the venue and stuff, but... uhhh really???

Me and my mom managed to get in, and we walked up the stairs (finally) and found our seats!! :))) On our seats, there was a pack, which included an balloon, a fan (double sided with a member's face) and this banner in Korean //orz what does it mean haha//. I got Key's fan so it's okay /but ugly sobbing because I didn't get Onew T_T/.

It was supposed to start at 6pm but they were super late (because Taemin had this earpiece problem so he kept apologizing during the introduction / first MC T___T (like CHILD ITS OK (let me give you a hug lmao). When the fans sat down, it felt super unreal, and it all felt like a dream. When the lights dimmed and we started screaming and chanting, "SHINEE! SHINEE! SHINEE!" They played a video (to our disappointment haha).

After that Shinee cAME OUT :DD They started with the song Sherlock and it's super good XD But I didn't warm up yet so I was kinda stiff and I didn't scream and all. (For some reason, I felt super awkward). But I was waving my light stick, just enjoying Shinee performing :))

The next song was Married To The Music and I was starting to get more hyped :) I lowkey sang along XDD I think they came out in suits or something (i forgot orz). Then the next song was Juliet (and the chorus is so catchy?!?!) After these three songs, it was MC timeeee! ^^ they started talking about how they haven't been to Hong Kong for a long time (around four years??) so they were really happy to be back. Key mentioned about how HK food was really good or something haha.

(Starting from this part, the order of the songs are going to be all messed up). They changed clothes somewhere after the MC or something like that (they changed way too often!!). I got more warmed up as Reply came up :DD Everyone sang along to it (and dude it's so good hahaha). You know how people would scream when a member's part comes up? That was me when Onew's part came up XD But it felt like I was the only Onew fan in my section because when Onew sings there were nearly NO ONE screaming T__T (It felt lowkey awkward because I would only be hearing my screams hahaha).

Then midway they changed into casual and I swear, Key looks SO GOOD in real life. During Lucifer, I was so hyped hahahaha. Key took off his white jacket because it was "too stiff and too hard to dance in it", and also he was like, "I look better without it". OMG XDD And guess what was underneath his jacket? A grey sleeveless shirt. SLEEVELESS. HE LOOKED SO GOOOD OMG. XD In the middle of the setlist /forgot which song orz/ he made the hand heart and it got onto the mini screen on the side. I got /shot/ in the heart owo.

THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CONCERT FOR ME HAHA. OKAY. During some song, Minho winked and gave this smooch towards the crowd OMG. AND IT WAS LIKE WINK THEN AIR KISS. /DIES/ WHEN HE DID THAT, I LITERALLY SPAZZED OUT ON MY SEAT HAHAHA, I WAS LIKE 'WHAT IS LIFE?' (He is so extra?!?! X"D)

In the middle of the setlist, (ESPECIALLY DURING Everybody), I got super duper hyped and screamed like crazy whenever it was Onew's part X"D (and also when their choreography was super cool). LIKE WHO CARES, I'M HERE TO HAVE FUN BITCHES XD During Everybody, these Japanese girls (again XD ikr, they have a lot of Japanese fans haha), also got super hyped XDDD Even though we weren't supposed to film, no one honestly gives a shit? (including me lmao). I filmed for around 30s in total XD (just to document the hype and it's the only thing I can hold onto after the concert T_T (other than the merch)).

They also performed Why So Serious, 1 of 1, So Amazing, View (that was aWESOME), Ring ding dong (the crowd was so high XD (including me hahaha)), Prism, Feel Good (CLIMAX OF THE CRAZINESS HAHA), Shift (don't really remember anything XD (except the fact they performed this song). The atmosphere was so awesome!! :))

In around the first quarter? Two members changed first, then the others went. Key, Minho and Taemin stayed first X"D Minho or Key was like, "I'm wondering if any of the members off stage are eating right now (referring to Onew and Jonghyun)" XD Then Onew and Jonghyun came back, wearing silk material / soft / shiny fabric clothes :DD it was so cool haha. (I think they also performed Dream Girl but I don't remember what happened T_T).

(I'm listening to SHINee's songs while typing this up so ahahahahaha) They sang a lot of the slower songs during that silk material clothing part XD (whatever you call it haha). Onew and Jonghyun also sang a duet-- Please Don't Go. This song was so touching and T_T //feels// Onew's voice was so sweet <333 /melts/ (Jonghyun's voice is also good <33) Hopefully Jonghyun's not sick or anything because he struggled a lot with hitting the high notes T___T especially during the duet and Replay QAQ

During Feel Good, oh my... oh my... The lyrics in the chorus, "I can make you feel good" X"D Everyone sang along in that part and I was kind of hesitant but I GAVE UP. So I also sang along and that was sooooo fun. This was one of the songs I like hahahaha. Though I wished they performed Tell Me What To Do because Jonghyun's voice in that song is GREAT.

There were a lot of Key and Taemin fans hahaha. Whenever it would be Key or Taemin's part, girls in my section would be screaming ahahah (like me in Onew's part X"D). And Onew's smile just melts my heart ouo Taemin also did a solo performance, he performed Sayonara Hitori (in Korean). His costume was so cool (there were these ribbons(?) that are sewn onto his sleeves, so whenever he spreads his arms it would look kind of like wings :D There were also these long stripes of red fabric hanging from the ceiling. There were also smoke(?) in the floor to make it even more dreamy <33 When my mom heard that song, she shook my arm excitedly and said, "This is my favourite song from Taemin!!" /lmao/ It was super cool and I enjoyed every single second of it /and I lowkey sang along because it's so good hahaha/

Skipping to Aside!! It was actually when we were supposed to blow up the balloons (which had led lights inside of them). I struggled a lot (because honestly I've never successfully blown a balloon before... until now XD) but the crowd looked super good because of the flashy balloons :DD Even Jonghyun was thankful for what the fans had prepared :DD (because he mentioned it in the ending speech).

Skip skip skip, time for chanting the encore! The fans actually started singing happy birthday (in Korean) to Shinee (as it's nearly their 9th anniversary!) ^_^ Every time we want to start over again (by singing happy birthday), we would all laugh as we don't know when we should start singing again haahaha (if it makes any sense XD). They came out in the moving carts (LIKE FINALLY?!) and the crew played So Amazing in the background. I really wanted to get one of their signed balls (that sounds wrong LMFAO /i'm sorry/) but I didn't manage to get one T_T because Onew and Jonghyun actually tried throwing some to my section but they didn't manage to throw it pass the crew (bc the crew was sandwiched between my section + the moving carts) OTL

/HIGHLIGHT NUMBER 2/ Since Minho was the only one on his cart, he actually stopped in front of my section (directly in front of me) and did the hand heart (like the one you make the heart with your arms + head??) towards my section XD I cried ahaha, and you know what? Before I knew it, MY HANDS AUTOMATICALLY DID AN ARM/HAND HEART BACK TO HIM. HE WAS SMILING SO BRIGHTLY OH MY GOSH. (No one in front of me did a heart back so it's actually possible he might have seen me in the corner of his eyes /dies from happiness/ /but it's okay if he didn't actually see me because giving a heart towards my section is already good enough <333/)

They did the ending speech and they reminded us to support Key's new drama <33 Shinee also told us that they will be back soon (isn't that what all the overseas idols say lmao). And it ended! I was so sad T___T they played a video (or some MV /i forgot/) and in the end the screen said "Thank you and love you" XD It was really touching but my mom had to ruin the moment and said, "Yeah, more like thank you and love your money" LMAO.

It was such a great experience and I have definitely fell in love with Shinee :D (who wouldn't if they attended Shinee's concert haha). It was so different from Visual Kei's lives and I might be doing a comparison in the future so please stay in touch with me! <3
