[Tutorial] "How I made it to Tokyo and Arena Tour 2006" =P

[maneayu]

Hey! People who will going in May 9th! (Yokohama concert).
We can do the same. After the concert we can go to eat and karaoke ^_^.

[ayu1m]

I am trying to at least ^

[eddi818]

i am def. going now.. got my ticket...yay! =)

[Hatix]

We should see first where everybody is staying. Because the concert starts at 18:30 and will probably be over by 21:00. So we probably need to go to Shibuya for lots of choice, then it's 21:30. Or somewhere else central, for people who don't want to do the whole night, and wait for the first trains .
So my idea would be to go eat before the concert, and go karaoke afterwards. And it's around early dinner time anyway. So I propose to go eat in Yokohama before the concert, and do karaoke in Shibuya after the concert . (details can be dealt with later )

Definetly I agree

[eddi818]

sounds good to me...
right by arena is the famous RAMEN MUSEUM...

oh and i'M staying at K's house - asakusa/kuramae station...
but the train stops running at midnight?

[Hatix]

yeah, i was going to the ramen museum too, with 8 or 9 little shops to choose from. all from different regions of japan.

and yes, the trains stop running between 24 and 25 o'clock (to say it in japanese time ). well from Shibuya you can take the Ginza line to Asakusa.
Kuramae is a bit more difficult: Yamanote line to Gotanda or Shimbashi, and then Asakusa Line to Kuramae. But it's a sunday, so we should check it all in advance to make sure. First trains seem to be at 5:30...

sundaY? am i missing something?...5/9 is...wed?..

[oro77]

too bad, I may not go to the Yokohama one's.

No one for karaoke for the Saitama concert?

[Blasterion]

It all sounds good to me, real fun too I think

now I only have to get me some tix for me and my sis and then I'm all setto!










a quick Q here:
those tix up on (yahoo) auction sites, those who are sold in pairs,
are the prices listed for just one ticket or for the whole pair, cause I can't exactly figure that out...like bids who start out at 13000 yen for example?

It is written in the description. Most of time(always?) it is the price of 1 ticket.

Sorry, my mistake, it is wednesday...
I think it was too late yesterday

[ayu1m]

How long will you peeps stay in Tokyo? I mean, if someone for example can't get tickets but still would like to go to eat or something.

I arrive on the 4th of may and leave on the 13th and all I'm going to do is spin around Tokyo.

[oro77]

I just came back from the first concert.
It was really good, I was really touched to see Ayu so near.
Last time, I was in the back of the center or the 2nd level so I could not see Ayu.

This time, I could clearly see her face !I was really touched !!
I wanted to scream:some foreigners are here to see you, I am from France!

My head is a bit mix up, I cannot remember clearly the tracklist.

But the first song is a big surprise for me, classical evolution at the beginning (Ayu has done something similar with A Song for XX before) and when it really starts, it is like pop rock ! Very good, evolution is one of my favorite song.

I don't remember the order, but I was really surprised by the number of old songs, I was expecting much more Secret album songs.

Old songs : evolution, Boys & Girls, SURREAL, AUDIENCE, Appears (Wow!), SEASONS (accoustic, WOW !! the vocal is very different though), UNITE (I am not so sure but I remember making the parapara), Flower garden, Humming Bird 7/4, Who (long time did not hear this one !) No Trauma !?

New songs : part of me, kiss'o kill, Secret, Until that, 1LOVE, JEWEL, I don't remember hearing momentum (maybe I am wrong), and I was expecting "It was" but I think Ayu did not sing it

The performance was really good, I think she messed a little bit the "lalalal abd uhuhuhu" of "Until that Day" in the CDL but this time it was good ! Ayu just messed up the lyrics a bit ^^

In Flower Garden, Ayu had some difficulties to sing at the beginning, don't know why.

The costumes were good too, usually there is always one costume I don't like but this time I like them all. Especially the French Lido one

I go tomorrow again ! This time I would like to do something after the concert, going alone and come back alone from the concert, it is not that great ...

[Hatix]

oro77, thanks for the little review! Have a look at the tracklisting that was posted, it's just like you are saying. Maybe, you can write them down, and check tomorrow .
Btw, how was the stage? Was it like the last stages at AT05, AT06 & the last CDL?

@Ayu1m: I'm also in Tokyo from the 4th till the 12th, after that I'm off to Osaka & that neighboorhood.

[oro77]

I did not want to be spoiled so I did not look to that thread but it is the same.

The stage is quite similar to CDL, the logo is the same but the background is bicolor (red and black). I don't really mind the background being the same than CDL, I really like it. In fact it is even better, it has been improved with few lights, really nice Boys & Girls !!

Hey oro77,

I am going to tomorrow's concert, too. I was going to head over to Roppongi after the concert but I'm not quite sure of where to go. Karaoke, salsa, and Roppongi Hills? I might meet one other person from AHS to go there. Maybe we can meet before the concert at Saitama-Shintonshin Station? Feel free to e-mail me at jinhamasaki@gmail.com I'm on my palm and the wireless is pretty good in Tokyo.

Ok I will mail you.
I don't know if Wireless works in Saitama Shintoshin, I hope...
My mail is kurisutofu@t.vodafone.ne.jp
But sometimes I cannot read mails from gmail with my mobile, but you should be able to read mine without problems

In fact, I asked some Japanese on mixi but most of them have plans after concert
Some did not answer yet, do you mind if I find few Japanese people ?
