Live Journey Station 6: Hamamatsu
June 12 @ Hamamatsu city, Shizuoka prefecture.
It’s a miracle I post a report the day after. Needed to stay awake this morning (after overnight bus..) before my class. xD
Limited phone wallpaper.
Woot finally cool Nana strikes back. <3 how she stares at me. 
Journey
Took train halfway, then hitched a friend’s car to Hamamatsu (he went to the live too). It was a fun road trip alongside the coast of Pacific Ocean at Suruga Bay. Lol just last week I saw northern Sea of Japan, and now the southern coast. I probably explored Japan more than most Japanese now. ^^;;;
Curry Food Journey
This time, I ate the victory curry the night before: home-made pork curry + sausage! Not boasting but it tasted great xD
Hashitei restaurant in Shizuoka. What’s so special about this…?
…Shin’ai gyoza!!! The chef was moved after listening to Shin’ai so yeah. xD It’s a bit smaller than normal gyoza, but stuffed with cabbage and meat. Nice crunchy burnt sides (Shin’ai costume’s wings? lol). Nana songs were playing in the restaurant!
Most ramen names are related to Nana/anime lol. I ordered Mugen nibashi ramen. There are Chinmoku no Shio and Miso Ramen Rising Force too… ^^; <3 the thin noodle.
Live
Act City Hamamatsu. Possibly the most sophisticated-looking hall in Journey, connected to Act City Hotel etc the whole area is theirs. Looks awesome inside too, tho it must be scary on the 4th floor…
See: Station 1 Fukuoka (full setlist, costumes). Station 2 Kurashiki.
Station 3 Utsunomiya. Station 4 Ishikawa. Station 5 Niigata.

MC1. Greetings and title call.
-First live in Shizuoka prefecture (17/47!), but the topic moved swiftly to local food. ^^;; Hamamatsu is famous for its unagi (eel) and Nana had one for dinner. It was really delicious (which is true).
-Live Journey, Station 6 Hamamatsu, departs!!” (so she’s back to city names)
An “incident” happened during Take a shot. In dance songs she uses ear-mic, but something went wrong: no voice came out! え!!(;￣△￣)yヾ Nana looked shocked but continued to sing with all her might, in case the morons had it fixed. But it went on for a while, the view of Nana singing desperately without any sound was rather painful… so everyone started singing for her until the mic is fixed….. aw. If this had happened in a slower song I’d probably cry.. Nana fans are the best!
MC2.
-Mawatte calls started but Nana said it’s too fast.
-Nana happened to hear “churu-churu-churu-payappa” melody tune being used in some late-night TV show….. mostly for “aha~n ♥” or “wa~ow! ♥” kind of scene…. then ”ero-shishou” calls started. ^^;;; Churupa was also used for intro scene of a top-half-naked muscular hard-gay dude ROFL where can I see that! (more like what kind of TV shows Nana usually watch?? LOL). Nana’s still happy her songs are re-arranged/used by other people though.
MC before Albireo. Itaruvic explained mandolin’s history: originally came from Italy, but the flat type he’s using now was invented by US.. so he wasn’t wrong last week. I’m sorry. xD
MC3.
-Mawatte~~ damn I really like Nana in short hair. ;__;
Nana said Ono Daisuke watched Anison SP4 on TV the other day, then asked Nana if she always does the mawatte thing in her normal lives. Nana answered “Yes! What if you do it too?” LOL the image actually fits..
-PR for JunPara, mostly the same until she said “Paradox written in hiragana” and didn’t realize her mistake until everyone shouting “It’s katakana!” while laughing. xD
-I was wondering how she’d keep announcing new stuff.. but she did. New sponsor, snack maker Calbee! Nana is representing their famous potato chips Poterich. Sadly Nana’s voice blog/CM is only accessible using Japanese mobile browser. Nana will update every 7th, 17th, 27th of the month.
I have sore-throat now so prolly will eat it later. ^^;
Encore. Nana wore T-shirt A again (I’m considering to buy it now..).
In the past 5 stations, she started New Sensation right away, but this time, MC came first, which hinted a new song, but when I expected sth like Transmigration, Nana announced Heaven Knows! lol honestly I never liked the CD version, but this is the first time I hear it live, so I appreciate the rare chance. Would still prefer New Sensation for the following Journey though. ^^;
I forgot to mention this in Niigata post, but Smile Gang radio planned a side-event for Journey. Regular listeners should wear a white hachimaki (Japanese-style headband) during encore. Nana also mentioned about it in Niigata, but not in Shizuoka.
Power Gate route.
Due to the unfortunate shape of the hall, Nana’s route was limited and mostly she stopped to sing in a spot (1-2-3). I saw some staff constantly cleared the pass-way to my left, so I had a tiny hope she might walk through it (= highfive!) but no ;__; Well she sang a full verse on the side stage.. amazing view. Better than the past weeks where I could only locate her tailing spotlight..
Bait throwing (Bait: Fuji-chan.)
Mount Fuji character! Nana said besides it’s cute face, it’S very manly on the back side with Japan’s flag. ^^; No sadly that’s not mine, I wish so but it didn’t even reach my row.. D: BUUUT! Nana felt bad for only giving 7 souvenirs, so she wants the rest of us to receive her love, and threw a kiss to the hall ♥♥ Kyaaaaa~~ NANA I LOVE YOU TOO! xD
Also, for the first time in Journey, Nana sang a bit of Pop Master (instrumental playing as BGM/ED). <3 The mike incident almost brought her to tears, anyway. 
After the live. Plenty of time to burn before my overnight bus so..
UNAGIIIII!!! Without doubt the best I’ve ever eaten. On the right is another Hamamatsu specialty “sakura ebi” (shrimps). <3

It was really an awesome concert. Live Grace was epic enough but this one is x3 more epic. Love the setlist and atmosphere in the concert! First time sitting between crazy FC fans and it was more fun than sitting in the back with normal fans XD and lol ero-shishou becomes her official nickname now? She seems to like it XD
Take a shot incident was a bad surprise but I like how all fans cover for it until the mic work. They didn’t check it before the concert, huh? – -’
I just notice I sat only 2 rows in front of you on the same side. I was in row11 seat no.12 so didn’t get Hi-5 T-T But it was still good and I could see her smile closely when she walked pass and sang on side stage. Totally worth nearly 18k yen XD My friend (he was in row8 on the right side) nearly caught Fuji-chan but it slipped from his hand and a guy 2-3 rows behind caught it. He still feel miserable about it ^^’
Shin’ai gyoza? Where is the shop located? Damn…I didn’t know that and ended up eating at Ramen alley and gyoza restuarant near Shin Hamamatsu station T-T
Aw, just thinking about how Nana must have felt when the mic didn’t work and when the fans helped her out by singing.. ;___;
Heaven Knows!! I er, actually like that song xD;; But yeah, New Sensation is definitely still better though, lol.
And dang, those foodstuff look really good. The gyoza in particular look heavenly. *____*
Thanks for the report!!!
awesome report as usual, these fans really are awesome to sing her her like that.btw your homemade curry looks like the chicken curry I just ate.
Smaller stages seem so much better.. The only one I can go to is the one in Saitama, which is probably the biggest of all the lives in this tour. I’m trying to get a ticket online (yahoo auction and ticket.co.jp) but I’m having a lot of trouble because I live in America.. Do you know how likely I would be to get the day-ticket or a scalped ticket on the day of the live!? You seem like the person who would know since you are a big nana lover!!
Day-tickets are not announced yet but it’s a possibility. Plenty of scalpers on the day but I don’t recommend them (expensive crappy tickets). There are plenty of middleman service for auction..
@cc1926: Aw really I didn’t notice you xD Shin’ai gyoza was somewhere near Shizuoka station, which is really far from Hamamatsu and closed at 2pm so if you were buying goods you can’t make it anyway ^^;
>Smile Gang
I think she mentioned “スマイルギャング” and “シャッス” but not hachimaki
I haven’t heard about hachimaki in live MC since….. Live Academy? (can’t remember exactly w)
アクトシティ(1階)の音響最高！
ちなみに私の感想はこちらw

@hachimaki;
>> Nana also mentioned about it in Niigata, but not in Shizuoka.
I just forgot to write it in Niigata report so wrote it here. ^^;
@danie: how much would you recommend for a FC ticket for Saitama? The cheapest I’ve seen on a ticket site was 14000 yen and that seems a bit too much, although I’m willing to pay for it.
Okay. You need to know that FC memberships cost 4000/year, and FC ticket + shipping/handling is about 7,100+ yen. And considering that non-FC tickets are sold out, can’t be cheaper than fixed price (7,000+). So IMO 14,000 is cheap. Keep in mind that seats are random and FC still haven’t gotten our seats fixed yet so it might be very good or rather bad (but still better than non-FC). Once the seats are out (soon), good tickets will shoot up to 30-50k but you CAN get cheaper ticket somewhere on the back.
Scalpers on the day will sell 4th floor for 14,000 lol.
That really stinks how Nana’s mic fcuked up on her like that… for someone of her caliber, you’d think that they’d be taking a lot more measures to ensure that incidents like this don’t transpire. Come to think of it, a lot of crap of that nature’s been happening during this tour… I’m beginning to wonder if anyone on her crew has it in for her for whatever stupid and idiotic reason. >:-(
I’m sure it’s all just coincidental, though. And at least her fans had enough class to lend her a hand.
I liked seeing that Heaven Knows and Pop Master were incorporated into the show… they’re two of my favorite Nana songs nowadays (even though a lot of people don’t seem to like the former… no clue why–to me, it’s got a lot of old-school charm).
Best wishes for the next show to be far better.
