So this post will be public for now... we'll see if it stays that way as this is not the most fangirl-y account. The guys sing well, but that's a given at this point.

We went at around 9 to line up for goods and the line was already long. It was rather annoying and irritating and Marisa wasn't happy about the TD pamphlet after she bought it. >.>; But at least she liked the poster she bought!

Anyway, the fans were very normal looking compared to KAT-TUN's concert (and I'm sure any other JE one)... no cosplayers, a couple gothic lolita but very very few, a lot more older people... and I think this con was disorganized or SOMETHING because there was a friggin mob to get into the dome at 5~5:30pm. =____= (and the sales of the goods did not start right at 10am either) Either that or the fans just decided to mob the place... Idk because KT's con didn't have a mob on the 15th and we arrived around 1h-30min before it began too. There were a feeeew people in the subway with a sign asking for tickets today.

We got into the dome and went to our seats... Marisa was sad that the THSK fans didn't stand up to let us through to our seats while the KT fans did on the 15th for her lol.

( not much to say about each... )

I don't blame the guys, I mean, I like the ballds (and some perfs) and they're very talented, but Avex could have done SOMETHING to make things more interesting? I can only stand and watch the guys sing for so long... I ended up just staring into the crowd randomly half zoning-out through most of their ballads and some perfs because there really wasn't much to see. The red made me hungry. :< Marisa and I had to go buy ice cream + food after the concert because of all the red. Well, at least the food cheered her up a bit. >.<

It might be because Marisa and I are both rather visual people... she wants to go into graphic design, I've taken art for quite a while... so it isn't just the guys' performances we needed. The first day of BtR, as much as I love KAT-TUN, it was the stunning stage visuals and effects that really wow'ed me (the 2nd day it was the guys I spazzed at lol). When THSK's backgrounds looked like macbook screensavers according to Marisa, and some of them looked like something you would see on windows media player... it just wasn't very satisfying. I wasn't even asking for anything like BtR because I was aware of the budget (and company) differences, but I wasn't expecting this little either.

Especially because we were in the back + I don't like bothering with the binoculars (I gave them to Marisa) and I just watched the concert as a whole... yeah. If you remember, my fan report on the Btr con (6/14 one), I mainly commented about the con as a whole, not the guys. It just felt like there could be a lot more. The stage itself was very boring and unsatisfactory and small as heck. Marisa wants to hunt down the designer. LOL Well, I'm sure that Avex is happy with all the money they earned while putting in minimal anything. The Tokyo Dome con pamphlet is stapled together. pfft

But I have to say that the experience after the con was a first. LOL We ranted and ranted and felt hungry like never before. We have deemed this con as "the con that makes you hungry"~! There wasn't much after-concert excitement unlike before, but we ended up ranting and staying up late (for BtR I just came home, wrote the mini-report, then fell asleep). So at least that let us catch CDTV for once. =3= Then we ranted some more before going to sleep.

I think that this con would've been pretty nice in an arena, but it doesn't feel fit for a dome, at all. Might as well add a couple more arena stages next time instead of a dome since now they've performed in TD and all.

Another thing was Imho, the con was rather choppy. The songlist just didn't flow very well. >.>; But maybe non-Johnny's concerts are supposed to be choppy so Idk.

Btw, this can't be just because I've become a ridiculously huge KAT-TUN fan during my stay in Japan, because Marisa's a ridiculously huge DBSK/Su fan. =3= I think she spazzed more at seeing them on TV after the concert than in the concert itself now that I think about it. LOL

/edit/ I forgot, two people (?) from Zoom-In were there... they were reflected during Ktbs quite a few times and they had uchiwa that said Zoom In lol... I thoooought I saw another one with "shite" after it but I'm not sure since the screen was small. =.=
