Am loving the P90 in BF3!

I'm back from Japan and have my own PC now. So I can write a bit more about going to YUI's Osaka concert. Before that, I got to tell ya that when I first arrived in Japan I was resigned to standing around like a fool with a placard begging for extra tickets. Fortunately I found them in a Ticket Oasis cancelled tickets store Umeda station. Price = ¥13000!!!! [That's about £101!!] This was on 29/09, after a failed search in Kobe and largely indifferent responses from the fans who were camping at the Kobe Kokusai hall. I had also been getting lost in Namba acting on a tip off about tickets which didn't work out either. I am so lucky to have bought the tickets on the spot in Umeda rather than waiting for my L-Ticket website registration result [that didn't work either]. Enough of that. The set list was nearly identical to the Ichihara report written elsewhere. Unforunately I can't tell you the content of the MC parts.... The YUI fans were mostly high school age kids, mostly wearing HITS tour t-shirts or bearing the towel. There was someone wearing a third tour ILY t-shirt, which was better designed than the HITS one. Here's what I can write about Osaka, 01 Oct: Before the concert started, there was a continuous animation of a sunny day on a mountainside as seen through window panes. The stage was like the inside of a log cabin, with an artificial stairs on the left and couch + fake fireplace on the right. When the lights went out, the screen animation changd to that of a dark thunderstorm. The audience rose and cheered as the band members came in through the stage side doors. Lastly, YUI made her appearance at the top of the moveable stairs!!!! 1st song. again ２nd Song Rolling star ３rd Song It's all too much These were played one after the other without stop. Everyone was standing and clapping along the songs. YUI was using her 2 colour sunburst Stratocaster for these. First MC - sorry can't tell what she was saying.... ４th Song Laugh away ５th Song Parade YUI picked up her Martin acoustic for these. As far as I can remember YUI at this point asked everyone to sit. Of course, in this interval folks were calling out YUI and the band members by name. For Parade, the tv screens showed Osaka's streets. Must have been the area outside Osaka - Umeda stations. MC. Band members introduction - again, I can't tell the exact script. ６th Song Cinnamon 7th Song Please Stay With Me Somewhere here there must have been the phone skit. Don't know what it was about, but I don't think it was Sony boss like in Ichihara. ８th song How crazy ９th song Love is all Unusually, How Crazy was done in a jazz or club house like style. Mai Mai the drummer was sitting on and beating a cajón for this. [name of instrument kindly provided by Kikino. Mai Mai used this a second time, but can't remember for which song] MC. I think YUI at this point was asking where everyone comes from. I would have liked to shout 「英国」 Eikoku for UK - but didn't want to scream myself hoarse from such a distance. １０th song TOKYO Although Life was the first song I heard from YUI, this is my ultimate favourite song from the first album. Of course I adore four other songs from there, but was appreciative that even though only one From Me to You track was played, Tokyo was chosen for HITS tour. The time arose for the random song to be chosen. YUI missed the roulette board twice since it wasn't a dart, but a sticky ball she was throwing. Third time, Kiss Me was chosen. From now on, YUI was on the big screen. Before that I could only see her figure but not face from where I was sitting/standing. １１st Song Kiss Me [Added 11/10/10] - After Kiss Me, there were some fans who shouted that their birthday was today or the next day. So, YUI played just the opening four lines 'Happy Birthday to You You'! If I remember correctly, she played Kiss Me, Happy Birthday to you you with the Fender Thinline Telecaster. Can't really recall though, if she switched over to the Jaguar for Never Say Die or es.car １２nd Song Never say die - this is when she picked up her Fender Jaguar. We all stood up again to clap along. There must have been an MC over here to introduce the coming video projection.... １３rd Song es.car One of my favourite songs from HITS. Kuro chan's intro sequence for the opening riff totally ruled. The choreography video, which resembles a traffic cop like dance, was shown whenever YUI reached the part that goes 『あなたのすぐ側に。。」 YUI put down her e-guitar when 「ファミレスの駐車場 渋滞してる見たいよ。。。」 came up so she could join in the dance. This was repeated three times before the keyboard solo by Arisa commenced. １４th Song I do it １５th song Tonight MC。- Don't know what was said here! [Added 11/10/10] It may have been this announcement, when YUI disclosed whose named HITS keychain [of the four eu.band members] sold the most this time round. The honour went to Backy, at 32 sold! 16th Song Shake My Heart Another cute song here. Just like everywhere else, lyrics text for 'Shake my heart yeah, shake your hear baby!' were projected on the screen. Following this, YUI and the band members departed the stage after bowing. Audience knew this couldn't be the end, so they kept up a steady beat of clapping to spur on her reappearance.... 17th Song to Mother YUI was on the keyboard. Bless her, she got the words wrong in the first paragraph of the song, becoz some words from the third paragraph 「似た物同士なんだようね」 ended up replacing 「嘘もつけなくなったら」! 18th Song Driving Happy Life The tv screen showed her driving a VW convertible pretty slowly along the Shichirigahama coastline [where Taiyou no Uta was filmed] with Enoshima in the distance. 19th Song GLORIA 20th Song Good-bye days Just like previously, YUI went away from the mic after the first or second paragraph of this sone to sing raw. Gods, the hall was dead silent apart from the singer! Very powerful voice becoz I could hear it from my position! When YUI was taking a bow and exiting stage, the music track being played was the same as the end of the My Short Stories limited edition DVD of the third tour's ending. Well, too bad I can't be more comprehensive and that my lack of Japanese understanding precludes me from detailing the speech parts..... I've gone on a limb to describe this as best as I can remember but I wasn't taking notes! :cool Edited by MonkOfWar, Oct 11 2010, 03:52:38 AM.

Actually I haven't finished yet, becoz I keep on remembering stuff I forgot to add.... I think she used her Fender Thinline Tele somewhere in the middle of the performance. But for lack of accuracy I can't remember which songs she played on that. Also, she sang the first two lines of 'Happy Birthday to you you' becoz she was responding to someone whose birthday was the next day. Other than that, go ahead as you please. [ADDED] I've filled in more parts, adding the info you've told me about the cajón and the extra items I remember. Edited by MonkOfWar, Oct 11 2010, 03:54:07 AM.

Couldn't tell.... there's no reason to use green or blue screen. It could have been filmed on location. I was on that street.... blazing hot day it was. |

Wow! :clap Thanks for the excellent report MOW! I sure wish I could have been there with you. Side note: I can't believe I knew more about the origins of the Cajon than Kikino. I was researching on how to make one well over two years ago (still haven't done it.) I've found companies making them all over the world, and the best homemade I ever heard on YouTube was by a Japanese artisan who used a traditional black lacquer on the soundboard.... I first saw cajons in this recording: (sorry but YouTube has bumped all the better quality copies) Ana Carolina, Dois Bicudos They really come in at the 3:20 mark. Anyway, when I got interested in them, my Peruvian brother-in-law gave me the whole history of them. |

What? I was getting ready to read the whole story! =O xD Why should I know more than you about cajones? xD In Chile we have OUR OWN INSTRUMENTS we dont need PERUVIAN instruments, man :angry XD Kidding , we don't hate peruvians. but I couldn't say the same about their feelings towards us though :rolleye But seriously, you don't see cajones in chilean music, either folk or pop. I saw one as a kid in some street performance and that's all. Then, many years later I saw maimai sat on a Cajon and I started youtubeing, I saw lots of japanese videos related!

Aha! Directly from the mouth of the Chilean!
:la@ Okay, before everybody thinks we're serious.... I've concluded that the humor of the western world seems rather too aggressive for eastern sensibilities. So I won't suggest that anybody YouTube search anything like Peru vs Chile, Bolivia vs Chile, or Argentina vs Chile. Oops. :sry But for real here....I find this evolving map very interesting. |

Wowee I've got a feature on the YL front page.... :cool Photos taken before and after YUI in Osaka.... they make you give up your camera if they find it in a bag check. So I didn't risk taking any inside the event. Crowd q-ing up at Grand Cube Osaka: Posted Image The board: Posted Image I mentioned that most of the audience were high school kids. There were also parents and older geezers like me. Most notable was the boy in a wheel chair which featured a breathing machine of some sort. His chair was not adjustable, so he was always facing the ceiling! Poor lad. OH Crap I hope these photos sizes aren't too big....!!!! Edited by MonkOfWar, Oct 13 2010, 07:55:03 AM.
