Animelo Summer Live 2009 Day 2 report~

Honestly I didn’t know how to begin recapping Day 2. I could start with a series of profanity but hey, overall I’ve had more fun than down anyway.

Pics are credited to the respective artists blogs again.

Obviously I started the show with good mood, though my body was aching.

My seat is more or less the same with Day 1. The artists were introduced on screen in the same way with Day 1. There were more loud cheers cos this is the maniac day.. with Yuinyan, Chihi, FictionJunction, Makkun, Idolm@ster, Hirano, Gackt, and of course Yukarin and Nana.

The show kicked in with another familiar tune that made the crowd went crazy and shout..

Mizuki Nana + Tamura Yukari

CHU LU CHU LU CHU LU PA YA PA~!

…

Or so I wish it would have been.

Mizuki Nana + Hirano Aya

Yeah ok, I know a lot of people are waiting for my response over the duet.

Honestly, after the first CHULU shout, I thought it was Yukarin in the pink costume. I didn’t pay attention when they walked down the stairs cos I was fixated at Nana’s yellow dress.. then the duet partner started singing and I screamed in despair. Who the fark sing DISCOTHEQUE in (fake) vibrato?! The medley continues with MonStAR which isn’t bad but srsly who cares. If it’s something with King /Lantis trying to collaborate.. yes thanks for Hocchan + Minorin in day 1, but FFFF this one.

Oh, but I’m relieved I couldn’t find any pic of Nana + Aya together in any blog.. while the other duets are busy fawning to each other, lolol. Probably it was suffering for them too.

Hirano Aya
I sat down, recovering from the shock.. in a totally opposite way with Day 1’s Happy Material recovery. Of course Aya sang Super Driver, while jumping around in silver straps around her chest (that I wished would fall off or whut). According to j1m0ne, she danced like Britney Spears before singing Set me free. I wouldn’t know cos I was running to the toilet lol srs.

Yonekura Chihiro

The shock was still there, so I couldn’t enjoy Chihi. It’s really a pity cos I love Yakusoku no Basho e. I also missed her entire MC and was blur during 10 YEARS AFTER that I also love. Fark it lah.

Sakakibara Yui

Soshite Boku wa.. put my broken pieces together. Yuinyan is hawwwttt yeah. I was afraid she would sing Beautiful Days next (I hate it) but of course she sang Koi no Honoo. It’s my first time seeing her live, and I loved it! The girl can sing and dance!

Yousei Teikoku
Now I know why the people around me were preparing red lights. Tamakui and last Moment was impressive.. I was awed with Fairy Yui’s awsm gothic dress. Her MC is so amusing.. I love how she tried to be all gloomy, but ended up being moe. ^^; j1m0ne covered their MC on her Anisama post.. and that guy with orange sticks she mentioned sat few seats in front of me lolol. Ah, I just pray they won’t turn into ALI Project in the future.

Ohtsuki Kenji & Zetsubou-shoujotachi

Bure bure bure bure! Hitotoshite Jiku ga Bureteiru was perfect to erase my sorrow that Marina wasn’t there. Oh actually I forgot it already since Yuu-tan entered the stage in that shoooort yukata. Yay for my fave SZS song Kuusou Rumba too, rumba rumba rumba! I totally forgot to look at Miyukichi, and just had quick glances on Ryoko-chan and Aipon.. cos Yuu-tan was srsbznz crazy on stage, like a gorilla on acid. The despair group ended the show with Ringo Mogire Beam!

Kageyama Hironobu

Chourou~~!! chants were all over the hall when Kageyama went up stage with a guitar.. and performed CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA acoustically! As seen in the pic, nobody (that’s my area) sat down.. we even sang along! I’m sure lots of the audience grew up with that song. The ever powerful SOLDIER DREAM also brings back good memories.

FictionJunction

When I saw the staff lined up 4 microphone stands and a keyboard, I could guess who’s coming. Parallel Hearts was perfect.. the way Kajiura played the keyboard reminded me heavily of Kanno Yoko.. looking as if they’re possessed lol. After the song, they left the stage which disappointed everyone (only one song?!).. before a familiar intro of Akatsuki no Kuruma slowly kicked in. Secret guest YUUKA popped up the round stage and sang acapella. There’s one FJ on stage backing up the vocal but I still can’t tell who’s who lol. The set ended with full blown version of nowhere that is much superior than last year.

Ohmi Tomoe
She actually has a soothing voice, but boring, so I took the chance to sit down for the first time of the day. I’d prefer beloved, but Return to Love was fine. I’m sure most people recognised her as “the cute girl in Anisama channel”, since she and Aa hosted the weekly Anisama STATION in Nico.

savage genius (feat. Ohmi Tomoe)

Maze lit up the hall with excitement, I love the song and obviously Aa’s voice. Just like ELISA in Day 1, she wanted the crowd to call her name “A~a~chan”.. and since she has more fans, I think she got it louder than ELISA lol. She ended with Watashi o Mitsukete, which I still think doesn’t match Aa-chan’s enchanting voice.

Faylan

Ok by this point I really regret for not preparing red lights, cos obviously people around me did, orz. Dark Side of the Light was a great opening, but mind as Judgment was mind-blowing. Respect point +100, since she obviously was nervous, being a newcomer and gotta perform in a superb stage. She seems so pretty interesting, keep mentioning the director in her MC (”Can you see me, director?” *waves*).. then j1m0ne told me the director is the hawt Sato Hiromi.. and the pic above also was stolen from the director’s blog. Yu-yu-yuri?! *runs* xD

Okui Masami + Faylan
ZOMG. Tamashii no Rufuran is my favourite song from Masami Kobushi (the old Makkun cover album that prob nobody knows)! To hear this live is.. just.. too much.. *faints* Probably the same feeling Faylan had when she was given the job to pull the song with Makkun lol. She did really well btw.

Okui Masami
Ah, LOVE SHIELD is a typical Makkun song, energetic and powerful. I wish she would sing more songs.

Suara
Oooohh Maiochiru Yuki no You ni! Glad I had extra white lights for this.. snow was fallin’ on the big screen, adding more emotional touch to the ballad.. me likes. <3 Free and Dream surprised me, cos she moved (THE TREE MOVED!!) around and the crowd can actually did otagei for a Suara song!

Tamura Yukari + Shintani Ryoko

I was really O___O when I saw Ryoko-chan popped up from my side and Yukarin on the other~!! and and and it’s… DANZEN! Futari wa Precure!! I totally forgot my leg pain and jumped like no tomorrow. Ryoko-chan and Yukarin were Cure Black and Cure White respectively, and they precured me.. puri kyua puri kyua (what Nana+who duet again? XD) puri kyua .. futari wa .. puri kyuuaaaa~!!

Psychic Lover
Poor YOFFY and IMAJO only got to sing LOST IN SPACE.. I wonder why.

THE IDOLM@STER

AAAAHHH IT’S IM@S TIME~~!! lol yes I’m a huge Im@s retard despite only owning the PSP game (and countless CD). THE IDOLM@STER was great cos of the excitement looking at the costume they wore.. it’s the latest tour costume.. with legsssss!! Each of them occupied one area of the walkway stage. I couldn’t be happier when Mingos just happened to be right in front of me! *nosebleeds* xD Kiramekirari (zutto chu tto~♪) had THE cutest dance. Eririn definitely improved.. and Maya is just sooo cute. my song wasn’t too good with the line-up (unless they got Chiaking).. and where’s my arcadia. I hope this time they get into the bluray, please.

m.o.v.e
Once again motsu entered the stage in the unicycle! Finally they sang something other than Gamble Rumble. We got DOGFIGHT and Blazin’ Beat medley. Pretty awsm choice, but srsly anything goes if that keeps yuri in yukata on stage. By this point I realised how Anisama Day 2 turned me gay lol. They advertised anim.o.v.e01 (the anime cover album) and chose to sing Gravity from the album as m.o.e.v (Lucky Star).

Tamura Yukari
Surely there’s no rest cos Yukarin popped out with Chelsea Girl! She’s really made of cutesy, so I was a bit let down that Tomorrow was the 2nd song, tho expected. She was on crack as always for the MC, asking stupid things about the crowd’s age. Yukari-hime clearly trolled us with NO MERON and NO METAL! That struck me so much that I couldn’t give my all for Little Wish.

GACKT
I kept track of who performed before (OK actually I just looked at the Anisama shirt in front of me) and I know it’s only GACKT and Nana left.. so I chose to sit down and massage my legs during his performance (and he was like, singing right to my face LOL, where Mingos performed before). He did Ai Senshi, The Next Decade, and REDEMPTION.. not like I really know those lol.

Mizuki Nana + motsu (m.ov.e)

When motsu started rapping, I seriously didn’t expect that Nana will follow-up with Gimmick Game! The diet song is back~! How I miss that Gimige dance. And that costume is just $!@#!#@!#!

Mizuki Nana + Suara

A very special Anisama version of Shin Ai indeed.. the sound was screwed for the first two lines, but it was utterly stunning afterward. For a second I looked back and the mix of white and blue lights were sooo beautiful. With these two extra Nana duet, srsly who remembers the first one? xD

Mizuki Nana

Only Yukarin and Nana can perform in an anison concert, with more than half of the set are NOT anison, yet the crowd seemed to know the songs better than random anison. So yeah, we got Etsuraku Camellia and (HELL YES!!!) Orchestral Fantasia. My Fenix lights were burning on my hands but it didn’t stop me from cheering for Nana!

All performers
I was wishing Nana would sing just one more song.. but the artists were already running up stage lol. Right, I dunno how I managed to (barely) jump for RE:BRIDGE cos I could feel my leg muscles were complaining. I couldn’t do the encore shouts like Day 1 lol.

Encore
They finally sang ONENESS. Same old thing for the talk with member intro and crap. Silly things I noticed:
- Otsuki Kenji and the girls went home *sobs*.. uh, Gackt also (he’s like, just performed less than an hour before?).
- It’s hard to stare at Nana without staring at Aya too, cos she’s right next to Nana.
- Fairy Yui twisted her tounge lolol moeee.
- Yuinyan hijacked Aa-chan’s turn to intro her dancers.. that’s normal, but then Yuinyan kept hugging Aa-chan to apologise and that looked fun… T_T

- Aya teared her Anisama shirt and made it off-shoulder.. but failed to look as hawt as Yuinyan.
- Everyone asked Nana to do the last jump, but the lady kept refusing to do it alone.. somehow it ended up being Makkun, Nana, and Hirano Aya. Dot dot dot.

After encore
Instrumental version of Yells again. I was the only one with Nana shirt around my area, my traffic lights were sooo bright.. Nana spotted me (if I wasn’t being delusional). Well, she smiled and did two peace signs to my area.. and that made this crazy weekend trip worthwhile! The rest seemed a bit blurry to me.. I think I got Makkun (again), Mingos, Suara, yuri (who threw her towel to the audience WTF$#!@#!).. uh not sure who else. Totally missed Yukarin and Faylan orz.

Goods up next I think. Probably with the little loot I bought during my short stay.
