May’n Act in Akasaka BLITZ

I’m flying back tonight, so this is the last report when I’m still in Japan~ xD

So, I was lucky to get a ticket for May’n Act last night, May’n’s first concert tour ever.. though not lucky enough, since tonight’s event is the one getting into DVD.

- I arrived about 6 pm (the concert started at 7), and I was surprised seeing the number of girls there.. quite a lot for a female anime singer.

- BLITZ only fits less than 1500 people, but it was full house. The first floor was a free-standing. I can say the arena audience were divided into the crazy few hundreds who were rocking to her songs near the stage (including me), and the rest who enjoyed the concert in the back.. that’s why I could sneak in quite front though my entry number was 1000+ Another reason to love small hall is that we were really close to the stage.. plus, most Japanese are short so I got the advantage lol.

- The concert was nicely opened by Welcome to My Fanclub’s Night! Sheryl IS on stage!

- Not a lot of people brought lightsticks, so I stood out and she noticed me a couple of times. I only used one long-lasting blue for most songs, and two ultra orange for Iteza and Lion.

- When Iteza’s intro got played, it suddenly became extra cramped up front, but there were no pushing.. and thankfully it’s winter now or the smell would kill my nose first.

Billboard~

- In the first MC, she talked a lot about her favorite subject.. yeah, you guessed it right: taiyaki! It always amuses me when an idol is obsessed with food like taiyaki or curry (Nana) and can’t stop talking about them.. ^^; May’n even said we must be energetic because of Tokyo’s delicious taiyaki..

- Acoustic version of Diamond Crevasse was really a-ma-zing. Now *this* is the reason to get the DVD later..

- I still think May’n☆Space doesn’t really suit her voice, but it was fun live with the special movement for us to follow, spelling M-a-y-n S-p-a-c-e. What’s funny was the audience complained that it was hard, because of “too many alphabets”.. learn some English, people! ^^;

- May’n informed us about her mini-album ranked 2nd in Oricon weekly chart, though almost everyone seemed to know that already. She also told us how she went into auditions since she was very young, and finally got a debut at the age of 15, and now that she’s able to stand on the stage.. everything could happen because of our support.. (I’d say it was Macross, but well). She cried a bit during that time too.

- There were no usual “encore!” shouts.. for May’n it must be “BU-CHO-U!” xD

- Because May’n came out with the 3rd costume for the encore, I knew there would be another encore (to promote the shirt lol), and there was! She asked us what song we’d like to hear for the “real last song”, as expected everyone went “I-TE-ZA! I-TE-ZA!” so there was, the second Iteza Gogo Kuji Don’t be late!

- All songs from May’n Street were sung. Also all Macross songs, only Sheryl’s originals though, so no Triangler or Aimo.. making up a total of 13 songs and 4 encore. (See setlist below)

Wasn’t going to get any goods, but I bought the T-shirt she wore in the encore anyway (there were 3 types in total).. maybe when she gets damn famous later, I can auction this for a high price?
