Can you imagine going to concerts two days in a row? That was exactly what I did. I went to a concert the day before and another concert today. I was really shagged and I had this sinking feeling that I wouldn't enjoy the concert to its maximum. Well, I was wrong! The concert was enjoyable despite a few annoyance that came my way.
Number one being the fact that I didn't get my Perfume Concert Tee. I wore shirt and shorts in order to change into the shirt that I was about to buy and yet they gave me a "Sorry, the shirt is sold out." type of answer. More than annoyed, I was disappointed. No merchandise shopping because the only thing I wanted to buy was the concert tee.
Number two being the fanboys (and a girl) who were nuts. At first I thought it was pretty funny, like how they actually said some sarcastic comments with regards to "Youtube videos". For example, "Yay, more youtube videos!" or "It is dancing to the same song again!" and that craycray Aa-chan fanboy who went "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ Channnnnnnnnn~" for a few times before the concert actually start and even more so after the concert started.
But... the horror came before the concert started and escalated after the concert started. That girl actually pushed her way through to the front despite her number being at the back. I applaud her for being able to do that without feeling ashamed of her actions. Next, the fanboys pushed to the front, knocked me backwards, pushed me to the side, jumped like some maniac and hitting me in the process, perspiration dripping all over their body. Oh god, I would never want a boyfriend who is a fanboy of any groups. It is a horror and I would never want to know that my boyfriend actually go nuts during a concert. As much as I am "crazy" in a sense, I was never and I doubt I will ever be like that.
The concert was great. The girls were amazing. Who said that "____ has pretty legs" or that "____ is pretty"? Let me tell you, Perfume have gorgeous legs and they look gorgeous in person. Nocchi looks very different from when she is on screen or in pictures. Aa-chan is really adorable when she is speaking. Kashiyuka is pretty. She made the audience laugh with her one word reply to Aa-chan at one point, "Nee~".
This might have been the craziest concert with the craziest fans I have been to. They are even crazier than Korean fans, you can count on my words. But overall, it was a good experience and I managed to enjoy this concert to the fullest despite being drained the day before. The craziness, the pushing, stomping, "dancing", etcetera was really... insanity.
On to the set list! Well, I can honestly say that I don't really listen to ALL of their songs so... and I actually typed this two weeks after the concert (editing my entry in a sense) so I am just listing out all the songs and trying my best to type out everything from my memories. Here it goes!
Before the concert, we were seated outside according to our ticket numbers and given out pamphlets with Polyrhythm lyrics on the flip side. I started singing to it, WITHOUT KNOWING THAT I WAS BEING FILMED. Oh god, I was so embarrassed by it and covered my face with the piece of paper. It was an automatic reaction and that cameraman (who was kind of cute) asked me questions to which I answered. Most embarrassing moment of my life and I hope he never showed that video to anyone.
We were ushered into the hall according to our queue and the concert started out with this apparent "youtube" video and it kept going on, the only thing that changed was the characters that were dancing. The animations were great but it was just too boring, and they kept repeating so.. meh.
♫NIGHT FLIGHT
First actual song of the night that is not the same as what was shown (youtube videos! XD) on the screen!
♫Computer City
Can't really remember~ It was... normal I guess?
♫Electro World
Another one that it normal~ Not much wow factor. Other than the fanboy who was perspiring all over me. YUCK.
Fan interaction time! They spoke to us not knowing that we understood Japanese so we were kind of giggling at their English. Aa-chan was so cute. There was this fan who was called up to do some translations and boy was he amazing. And he was apparently wearing white v-neck with skinny jeans and headphones around his neck, Aa-chan's ideal which was why they called on him. Aa-chan also mentioned that we were being broadcasted, LIVE, in Japan, Taiwan, and some other countries. I do hope that I was not filmed.
♫Laser Beam (Album-mix)
Yay laser beam! Not my favourite remix definitely, but it sounded fine when they were performing~
♫Spending all my time
It has to be one of my most disliked Perfume songs to date but everyone was going high so I was going high~ with them too. Sounds forced. Oops.
♫love the world
I forgot. ):
♫edge (⊿-mix)
Can't remember~ ):
♫Secret Secret
No recollections. ): I think after this song, there was actually some interactions with the audience! Like them splitting us into three groups and naming us, "マー", "ライ" and "オン" which spells out Merlion. We were supposed to cheer when they called us by this name and it was so funny and we just screamed when "we" were called.
I think this was also the part where they taught us a dance that we didn't know what it was for until the later part of the concert.
♫Dream Fighter
I remembered when they introduced this song, everyone was cheering so..
♫FAKE IT
Well, I forgot.
♫Nee
The only thing that came to my mind was J and Nino doing this with them during Sharehouse. What did they do to my head~
♫Chocolate Disco (2012-mix)
Remix that I did not expect that they would do. But anyway, yay! Chocolate Disco!
♫Polyrhythm
Aa-chan was teary-eyed by the start of this song and Nocchi's tears were also threatening to fall. It was quite heartbreaking and at the same time, heartwarming to know that they appreciate us being there at the concert. It was an "aww" moment when everyone cheered the loudest for them.
♫Spring of Life
The first encore song. Aa-chan was almost in tears when she spoke to us before the start of this song. Everyone when, "aww" literally.
♫Kokoro no Sports
I forgot what happened. ):
DORAEMON MADE AN APPEARANCE. They were exclaiming about this "special guest" and I honestly thought it was Nishikido Ryo (since there were people who spotted him in Ion Orchard) so I screamed, into the poor guy's ears in front of me. It turned out to be doraemon and I screamed for a second time, this time it was with everyone so it wasn't as bad I guess.
Apparently, there will be a new doraemon movie and Perfume will be singing the theme song for it. Doraemon was so cute. His eyes could change and the whole talk was hilarious cause it was quite childish. Oops. And at the last part, they were going, "Doraemon left by the 'anywhere door'" and gave this very shocked expression. Haha.
♫MY COLOR
Danced with Perfume to the previous dance steps that they taught us. The atmosphere was really hyped up and everyone was really doing the hand actions and such. This was pretty much the best part of the concert. Everyone was enjoying the concert with the girls and it was unlike how it was during other concerts where it was just the singers singing and us listening type of thing. They engaged the audience and got us involved in the whole concert at the end.
Concert started: 7.00PM, Saturday, 24th November 2012
