Wow, this whole concert experience was amazing. I’m sore, broke, my feet hurt, tired….BUT I CAN’T WAIT TO GO AGAIN!! ;D
I took the Marunochi Line on my ownaround 6:30ish am. Had a little trouble getting through the different entrances but…managed to get at the Tokyo Dome hotel at around 7am-ish. I met Stephanie [readyforever] at her hotel room and met up with her mom, who was also in line. There were already people waiting in line (maybe a little less than 100 — and goods don’t open up for business until 10am). It was a crazy sight~ no joke that Tohoshinki have gotten this big over their Japanese music career. Waiting in line was kind of long…but one we got to the front area where you can see the goods — it was quite fast.
I ended up getting (first time around): the Tokyo Dome pamphelet, Tokyo Dome t-shirt, 2 lightsticks, one gray face towel, bag, 2 “Stand By U” singles (one for Marian), and…I think that was it. We thought they would be giving receipts with messages from each member..but it ended up being a group receipt from 東方神起 (written by Yoochun), saying something like “Have fun at Tokyo Dome! Let’s have fun ok? -in a cute tone-”.
We then dropped off our stuff in her room and went down again for round two. We met up with Kelly, who just landed from Malaysia. The goods line this time was extra long – we ended up waiting 2 hours, but the time went by pretty fast. I ended up getting a silver cell chain, the original “Secret Code” pamphelet, Tokyo Dome towel, and…I think that’s all…I might get some more goods tomorrow. lol Ate lunch afterwards and the food took..forever…but it was good. I like cold soba. ^^
By this time, it was already time to go in and get seated~ I was sitting by myself, but my seat was really good!! I was on the Yoosu side on the first level (one about floor seats) in the 2nd section..4th row..middle seat. VERY GOOD and so worth what I paid. ;X And I even made a Japanese okasan fan friend.
She was so cutee! She spoke to me first in Japanese and I told her, in English, that I didn’t speak Japanese. She asked where I was from and I said America and she was surprised. She asked where I got my ticket and I said “internet” and she said she got hers from an auction site and I told her “oh me too!”. I asked who her favorite member was and she said Junsu and I replied back when she asked who mine was. II saw she had TSC face towel and iight stick and asked what show she went to and she said Nagoya~ very cool. I asked if she went to the Omotesando Showcase event and she said no, and then I asked if she was going tomorrow (“Ashita..-points to her-) but she said no. The section to my left was more of the older ladies, while the area on my right was louder..with the “Yooochunnn~ Yunhoooo~” but it wasn’t too bad. The girl to my right was younger and was a big fan of Youngsaeng fan – she had him on her cell wallpaper and two pictures, back to back on her hand helf mirror. I bet she’s excited for when SS501 makes a concert stop in Japan. :]
I didn’t have a watch or any form of time so..I asked my seat buddy what time it was and she said 20min. Before I knew it, lights off~ light sticks on~ sea of RED~ insync motions~ and BAMMMM! into clip with the fighting and then AH! “Secret Game” starts off the show. At this point, it was slowly hitting me that I’m freaking in Japan…at Tokyo Dome, watching TOHOSHINKI~ my favorite band. <33 I loved the scream and hearing it live was pure bliss..but during the first part of the concert I wasn’t fully there..still not believing what I was seeing AND hearing. OMG. XDD
My buddy had binoculars and she offered to share them with me throughout the concert. <33 She was so sweet~ despite the little language barrier we had. <3 Every time it was Jae’s turn to sing during some of the songs, or if he was facing our direction, she’d hand the binoculars to me and then I’d hand it back whenever I knew it would be Junsu’s part coming up. Yes, we had a Jaesu understanding there. heheh.
Here’s some highlights from what I could remember (probably not in order):
- I love the glowstick movements for “Stand Up!” – during the chorus part…wave side to side, then make a circle, and then point it up to the ceiling for “STAND UP PARTY TONIGHTT~”. So much funnn.
They all would come to each side of the stage and when they came towards my side, it was the first time I got to see them pretty up close. <3 *_*
- The entire Tokyo Dome was filled~ SEA OF RED WAS AMAZING!! Just shows how much people love them and how their hard work has paid off. <33
- The solo stages!! WHAT A SURPRISEEEE!! It first showed them rehearsing for Tokyo Dome and then it had all the members show individually and then Jaechun was placed together. No one knew what was going on until the screen showed “SOLO STAGE” and then everyone freaked out!!!!!!
Junsu – “Xiatic” in JAPANESE! with girls and all. Seckshiiii~ but no rap..still seckshiiiii~
Jaechun (two composers and singers)- “COLORS” – such a pretty song. <3 I loved the harmonies…and the “LALALA” where everyone joined in to sing. <3
Yunho – “Checkmate” in JAPANESE!!! Yeahhh~ go Yunhooo~ :DD
Changmin - “Wild Soul” — DUDEEE~ Rocker Changmin~ I like rocker Jae and rocker Changmin completes my love for Jaemin.
The whole set was awersome. I thought he was gonna come out with an electric guitar or something..but then he comes out and AHHHH! There were some pyrotechnics here too…and FIREE~ soooo awesome. I loved it.
and he had like..a laser that he would point to the fans~ and then BAM! BOOM! BOOM! *_*
-Purple Line – I <3 Jae’s “ONE MORE TIME OK?” English..sexy…gahhh <3
-Jae’s hair is so shiny, bouncy/floppy~ you keep throwing that hair back. <3333 *_*
-All the Jaesu parts~ lovelyy. Harmonies to Jaesu love.
-Jaemin standing at corner of stage where I was~ yayyy~ my buddy handed me the binoculars for that part. <3
-Jaesu dancing on right sided small stage on extended.
- Nobody Knows~ gahh micstands <33 and how the staff just tossed them the micstands and they just started doing the choreography. SO COOL! They’re so into it too, I love.
-FORCE~ I loved when they were coming out on that platform since they were dancing on it while it was literally moving from main stage to center stage…being elevated.
-The colorful outfits aren’t that bad. They look cute in them while dancing. Choosey Lover~ Surivior! Sky + Somebody to Love (where you bust out your face towel and swing it around while JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! — and you jump too
My favorite and most memorable part:
- Each member had a “float” where they would stand at the top and the wave to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level fans during “We Are”. I SWEARR~ I was like…maybe like..less that 15ft away from them as they were passing by. OMGOMGOMG~~~ I was freaking out..screaming with my mouth covered by using my towel ..lol and with light stick moving of course. On our side, Jae was first and then it was Yunho. JAE IS SO GORGEOUS~ like omggggg. <3333 All happy, smiling, and waving.
:D :D. Yunho was next and I swear I made eye contact with him for a split second…OMGAHHH~ and I was sweaty..looked like crap…but it’s ALL GOOD!! If they use video from that part in the dvd…I wonder if you can see me..LOL. Oh dear. They had little capsule gifts they were thowing~ I wanted a green one from Jae…lol..but it looked like he was trying hard to throw really far. haha. XD On the other side was Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin but once the little “floats” got to the opposite end of the stage (behind the floor seats), there was a smaller stage there and they performed “Break Up the Shell” and..”Stand By U”..not sure what other songs or if that was it on that side. They got on their little floats again for “Kiss the Baby Sky” . I got to see Yoochun up close~ doing a little flaily move with all smiles ^^ and he would look at the fans who were closest to him and would lightly throw one to them~ very cute, Junsu was a cute with his smile and two hand wave to the crowd~ and Changmin was soo cute~ he was trying to get the fans to do a certain glowstick arm wave~ and he had his closed mouth smile/grin. <33 For those few seconds…I felt like I was in the front row~ seriously like…OMG~ I still can’t believe itttttt. KYAHH.
Bolero live <3 and double encore was “Love in the Ice”. Lovelyyy~~~~ <33333
I know I’m missing a lot of things but…overall the concert was AMAZiNGGGGG~ a great experience…DOME!~ and I can’t wait for the final show~ it’ll also be out last day in Tokyo. T_T But what a great way to leave Japan…with Toho in our hearts. <3 We’ll be sitting in floor seats…in the middle F block section according to what Marian saw~ which means..full frontal view (todays view was more of a side view..every time they’re line up on the center stage..I could only see Junsu..haha).!! and access to the streamers that come out during “Somebody to Love” <3. QUITE EXCITED!! And it’s like…2AM here and I need to sleep in order to line up for more goods.
Oh Tohoshinki…how I love you guysss. <333 fjsldkfjsldkfj

After reading about Changmin’s solo stage, I desperately want to hear him sings. I love him singing rock music.

Wow! Thank you sooo much for sharing!
It sounds AMAZING!
I couldn’t sleep at all last night think of this huge event going on, on the other side of the world!
(2 a.m here = 6 p.m there!)
*spazz* I still can’t believe it happened! TVXQ… at TOKYO DOME!!! Waaah!
I couldn’t be any more proud of them!
Wah! I really want to see their solos! That’s so awesome! Xiahtic and Checkmate… in Japanese!!
Surely all of the hardcore Japanese fans would have already seen fanvids of the original versions, so seeing it in Japanese must have been a real treat ^^ *spazz*
Sorry… super spaztic right now
Oh, how I wish I could be there!
I wonder if I can find any goods on ebay ^^
Can’t wait to hunt down some fancams!!
Thanks again, for sharing!!
