So the idea here is that the bonds you have with others are a light within the loneliness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></li><li><div style="text-align: justify;">The reading <i>that</i> (<i><b>それ</b></i>) refers to the <i>light</i> mentioned in the previous line (and note), but the kanji we have here is <b>他人</b> which means <i>other people. </i>So the whole thought here is <i>"within loneliness, we are all seeking light which is sometimes blinding"</i> with the subtext of <i>"within loneliness, we are all seeking connection, though sometimes other people are blinding"</i> making this more about your bonds with others and how they save us from loneliness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></li><li style="text-align: justify;">Here we have the kanji <span style="text-align: start;"><b>嫉妬</b> </span>which means <i>jealousy</i>, but the chosen reading is <i>thorns</i> for which I went with the synonym of <i>barbs</i> since it kinda fits the context better imo, as that can also be taken as saying something mean about someone.<br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;">Here the kanji of <b>現状</b>, which means <i>present situation</i>, is read as <i>now</i>. Since the meanings are pretty close I don't think this really needs any further explanation - though having it as <i>now</i> kind of has the nuance that the future (aka what comes later) CAN be changed even if the now cannot.<br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;">This particular one we have appears two times throughout the song, where the kanji for <span style="text-align: start;"><b>魂</b>, </span>which means <i>soul</i>, is read as <i>life</i>. I guess the idea here is that unless your soul is fulfilled you aren't really living.<br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;">For this one, we have <b>決意</b>, which means <i>determination</i> but is read as <i>feeling</i>. Pretty straightfoward since it's just basically telling you to trust the feeling of determination here.<br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;">Here we have <b>到達点</b> which means <i>destination</i> but is this time read as <i>place (you belong)</i>,<i> </i>which gives it the nuance of the place you belong being where you are headed in life.<br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: start;"><b>綯</b> is the kanji here which means <i>twist/twine</i> (a rope) while the reading is <i>spinning</i> (as you would a yarn). So not much difference here, though I feel like twining the rope goes better with the previous line, but spinning goes with the mention of time spinning round we had early in the song and is used here since we are still talking about the passage of time.<br /><br /></span></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: start;">And last but not least, we have the kanji for </span><b>結末</b>, which means <i>outcome</i>, but read as <i>future </i>giving it the vibe that we are talking about the outcome of your life here.</li></ol></div>RjOkamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13421115793379175045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431611253573380782.post-66408775976183801762024-01-21T10:47:00.009+09:002024-01-21T11:13:18.898+09:00Link or Chains -Translation-<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtHz9cTGkcYKNsXtzRL7pNh1A6IdnMZfGhFdwNuwK65iBDt0Nz5K_2WSp4OHp49Esr0prXI7iRc97p9chvheQIHRXBxSIsD5QUHwc9ZCCtQnh_x69wiyxitZ84b4Fcl7PQ8FhtZGR3faMoIsLldA2_igEQaa5JtpB4DoyJc2xZi2LNMfdWKQ_k4mhQceo/s610/large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="407" data-original-width="610" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtHz9cTGkcYKNsXtzRL7pNh1A6IdnMZfGhFdwNuwK65iBDt0Nz5K_2WSp4OHp49Esr0prXI7iRc97p9chvheQIHRXBxSIsD5QUHwc9ZCCtQnh_x69wiyxitZ84b4Fcl7PQ8FhtZGR3faMoIsLldA2_igEQaa5JtpB4DoyJc2xZi2LNMfdWKQ_k4mhQceo/w400-h268/large.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Since it's Nana's birthday today, I am here to celebrate with a new translation! Been wanting to do this one for a while, since <i>Link or Chains</i><b> </b>really fills me with a lot of feels every time I listen to it. It kind of makes me feel melancholic yet cathartic and it's honestly given me so much comfort during the past year - truly another amazing banger from Shihori-san. Please check out this awesome performance of this song from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPe0JJVDVQ4" target="_blank">S.C.

To sort of ease the workload on me, I decided to combine both Day 1 & Day 2 into one report. I'm sorry I haven't really been able to dish out reports this year on<i> LIVE HEROES </i>and <i>LIVE PARADE</i>, it's been a pretty tough year for me in quite a few ways so I just lacked the energy to take on more. I'll try and figure out a new template that'll be more manageable for my reports, which means they won't be as comprehensive as they used to, but for now, please enjoy all the silliness of the past weekend! Happy Holidays to y'all!</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Promise on Christmas</b></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

Since I'm not big on xmas in general, it's not like I was dying to hear the very specifically xmas songs in Nana's arsenal, but I do appreciate the fact that this might be the only chance for me to hear them live so I savored every moment! And nothing beats the current Nana singing her older songs with so much more power and nuance than she used to.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Afterwards, Mishi-P joins Nana on stage dressed as Santa Claus (outfit apparently bought from Donki xD). On both days, there's some chit chat about how it's been a long time since a Fan Club Event like this was held, since the last one ended up being fully online due to the pandemic.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>7 Questions Corner</u></b></h3><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fans were asked what were their biggest surprises in regards to Nana and her career and after unveiling them, Nana and Mishi-P discuss them for a bit and then he'll ask something related to the topic at hand. Honestly, I can't even say for sure now if there even was an actual question involved for all the topics since Nana and Mishi-P like to ramble on LOL.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Koushien Live</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana talks about how it was really hard singing in the rain, water kept pouring into her mouth and whipping her eyes and she wondered if her hand will become like Fate's and there'll be lightning and electricity crackling down from the mic.</p></blockquote><p><br /><b>Beautiful </b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">Nana herself was also very surprised to get to perform in a musical since she isn't really well-versed with acting.

She also mentions that she felt the same way at Budoukan. Today's Pia Arena MM is a she and very kind to her apparently! Mishi-P asks what Ariake Arena was then where she had the final for <i>LIVE PARADE</i> earlir this year and apparently Nana feels that venue was genderless. Then apologizes for how weird the conversation became.</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Two Lives in One Day</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana and Mishi-P reminiscence about how for <i>LIVE GRACE -Opus III-</i> there was also a <i>Precure Live</i> on the same day and since timing wise they weren't overlapping Nana was like "I can do both!" but now talking about it they remembered that it wasn't in fact the first time Nana had done two lives in one day. There was another occassion a long time ago, but I don't recall exactly now what it was.</p></blockquote><p><b>Marriage/pregnancy</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">Apparently a question had come in from a fan if this partner of hers is real since she is very quiet about her private life and she swears it's a real person. She introduced him to Mishi-P and his reaction had apparently been "LOL". </p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Nanaya Santa Merry Christmas Show</u></b></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This corner was a homage to a Japanese show with a similar name, where people would phone in about their xmas troubles and receive advice and a present from the hosts of the show, but the Nana version we had changed the concept around a bit of course, and the people phoning in would be her fellow seiyuu, senpai on the first night and kouhai on the second, and after talking they would need to be the ones to give a gift and Nana would pull a seat number from a sack to determine the recipient from the attending fans. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tachiki Fumihiko</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Tachiki-san met Nana during recording on Jiku Tantei Genshi-kun (Nana was very touched that he remembered) and Nana considers him to be a very kind senpai even though she expected the opposite considering how he typically voices intimidating roles. Nana reminisces how couldn't match the mouth movements at all back then since she was new to the biz and you didn't receive a rehearsal video in advance and they just basically showed the scene to you once and you were just expected to do it.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Tachiki-san gifted an alarm clock with recorded alarm message by him and Nana with him being mean and her being nice.</div></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ootsuka Akio</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Ootsuka-san first met Nana on <i>Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker</i> ofc, and it was a rare occasion where they actually recorded together. That's the sort of thing Kojima insisted upon and Nana was so shocked when THE Snake walked in to record with her. They reminiscence about Nana peacing out from a talk show at <i>Tokyo Game Show</i> to do a concert at Chiba Marine Stadium on the same day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ootsuka-san gifted a muffler.<span style="text-align: left;"> </span></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Hidaka Rina</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Hidaka-san joined Star Crew earlier this year! She shares a story of how she and Nana and another one of her kouhai seiyuus went to dinner together one time and it lasted until very late into the night until Nana finally put a stop to it and says she needs to be cycling early next morning LOL. Nana says Hidaka-san is very smart and is good at creating an atmosphere that makes everyone feel included, Rina decides to be a troll and says she still thinks Santa is real and Nana says nvm we are all dumb in Star Crew.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hidaka-san gifted a shoulder massager.</p></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Kotobuki Minako</b></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: justify;">Kotobuki-san met Nana on Dog Days which surprised Nana because she feels like they met way earlier. Kotobuki-san is good friends with one of the actors and the three of them would often go to lunch together during Beautiful. Nana finds her very energetic and the most positive person she knows, as most seiyuu tend to be quite negative.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">Kotobuki-san gifted a coffee machine.</div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After this corner is over, Nana goes to change clothes and Mishi-P shares some statistics with us, such as how many attendees share the same exact birthday with Nana, how many attendees were born on the year that the Fan Club was formed, who is the oldest/youngest attendee, what is the male/female ratio of attendees etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>SCN Music Fest</u></b></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">This corner is a homage to FNS 歌謡祭 which Nana frequently gets invited to and where she gets to collaborate with a bunch of other artists so she wanted to do something similar here during the Fan Club Event.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. BLACK DIAMOND </b> <br /><i>with Cho-san, Kado-D, Kojiro from the Cherry Boys</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

Merry X'mas</b><br /><i>with Cho-san, Kado-D, Kojiro from the Cherry Boys</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Man, this corner was such a pleasant surprise!! The acoustic <i>BLACK DIAMOND </i>and <i>Merry X'mas</i> were really beautiful and tbh, I had always wanted to hear the violin intro to <i>BLACK DIAMOND</i> live like this and it was truly wonderful. The White Album collaborations with Suara were incredible as well and I know mean a lot to a lot of folks, but for me the the star of this corner was hands down <i>Sailor Star Song</i>. Sailor Moon meant a lot to me growing up (and still does!) and it was honestly a dream come true to have Nana join the cast of the latest movies and sing this son since it's my second favorite opening actually after <i>Moonlight Densetsu</i>.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">Both Suara and Inoue-san swear that getting to attend Nana's Fan Club Events like this has become their most favorite xmas memory ever. xD Nana and Inoue-san also touch upon how amazing it was to get to sing a song from Sailor Moon which they also grew up watching!</div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;">The arrangements for <i>BLACK DIAMOND </i>and <i>Merry X'mas</i> were done by Kado-D, who is apparently a big ドS, since he made Cho-san play the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marimba" target="_blank">Marimba</a> for the intro and outro of <i>Merry X'mas</i>, which is a pretty rare instrument and Cho-san hadn't played one for like 25 years until this event.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Who wants to be a Nanaonaire?</u></b></h3><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;">Okay, this corner was super hilarious! Mishi-P explains where this homage comes from (</span><i style="text-align: justify;">Who wants to be a millionaire?</i><span style="text-align: justify;"> of course) and laments that the younger fans might have no clue what it is but it's probably very nostalgic to us older ones. He explains that Nana will have the same lifelines as in the show - 50/50, telephone and audience. In the case of telephone the help will be all the collaborators from the previous corner who are sitting back stage ready to help out. Also, unlike in the show, all questions will get covered regardless of whether Nana answers them correctly and the amount of questions she answers right will determine how many fans commemorative tickets will get signed by her.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Day 1</b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ol><li>who is the singer who can run full speed and still sing just fine?

Also, Nana obviously used the telephone lifeline for the questions related to Inoue-san and Suara but alas, <i>coincidentally</i> the person in question would always be missing from the telephone helpers and return just when the help countdown of 30 seconds was over so Nana actually had to guess those herself.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Mishi-P also let us know some tid bits about Nana's sales data, such as how the bestselling single was <i>Bright Stream</i>, bestselling album was <i>MUSEUM II</i>, the non-compilation bestselling album was <i>ROCKBOUND NEIGHBORS</i> and best selling BD/DVD was <i>LIVE DIAMOND/FEVER</i>.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyways, it was pretty impressive how many of these Nana managed to get correctly and it was very interesting to listen to her thought process for her choices! In the end, the result was that she'd need to sign 677 people's tickets for the first day (and Mishi-P would sign the remaining 100 that was up for grabs, since the question Nana got wrong was about him personally) and 577 people's tickets for the second day (and apparently Mishi-P will do the 200 she missed lol).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That brings this corner to its conclusion as well, and before finishing things off, Nana and Mishi-P quick fire some announcements consisting of: <i>King Super Live</i>, Nana's new single <i>Turn the World</i> being available this weekend,<i> LIVE HEROES </i>will have a showing at select cinemas so people can cheer along while watching as calls weren't allowed yet at the time of the concert, Day 1 of this Fan Club Event will be streamed in a couple of weeks, <i>LIVE JUNGLE</i> tour announceed for next summer! Nana and Mishi-P talk about how there is also a <i>Precure Live</i> again on Nana's birthday weekend when the cinema showings of LIVE HEROES will be too, which is the main reason there is no live on that weekend this year. Apparently the Precure folks booked Nana for this concert already 4 years in advance LOL.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then as a parting gift on both days we get...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Turn the World<br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I wasn't the biggest fan of<i> Get up!

New Sensation / 02. SUPER GENERATION / 03. Go Live!</u></b><br />Since we've had the pleasure of attending quite a few <i>LIVE HOME</i>s it felt pretty bittersweet to know that this would be the last time we see Nana walking down to the main stage doing her wave greeting before <i>New Sensation</i> properly began. Also still can't believe we got <i>SUPER GENERATION</i> here instead of <i>POWER GATE</i> tonight! But maybe it was to balance out the fact that we got <i>POWER GATE</i> during the very first <i>LIVE HOME</i>?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>MC1</b></i></u><br />Nana starts with the usual greetings and saying that she's back home, then mentioning that it's been four years since <i>LIVE ISLAND</i>, which was the last time she had come to Nippon Gaishi Hall. She says that of course the last <i>LIVE HOME </i>had to be here since this venue is where she's had the most lives so far, so it really is like her home ground. Nana says that she is so grateful that we’ve been able to make it to the end of the tour safely and adds that it’s thanks to all of us and thanks us. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>04. ROMANCERS' NEO / 05. スパイラル</u></b><br />OH! <i>ROMANCERS' NEO</i> tonight too?!?!?! That was a fun surprise! Though now it made me question all my assumptions about the set list for tonight that I made yesterday... xD Nana likes to keep us guessing I suppose.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>Cherry Boys -showcase</b></u></i><br />This time Kado-D gets asked if he prefers King Records or StarCrew, and he picks King Records. And tonight, both keyboardists, Champ and Ryochin, are there and they got into an "argument" during their turns and eventually answered with what was their favorite food - curry rice (cue a picture of Nana Curry on the big screen at the back of the stage xD). This time I didn't catch what Kojiro's options were, but regardless he still answered Mishi-P as usual. Kenny gets asked number one, MyNumber or Pointa and of course it's Kenny number 1! Ryotan finishes off that for him it's definitely S.E. Nana Net (S.E.???? xD).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2j9FYFI0RnE7q2ClCKEBINfVLslPy_o6f5AVdxaMbqg-XnKWMMHMZLyNx0b6x8JEgoYicYuRPcbC731MmP3dFgxJNin9uhu_pa_3DK2eEfowB3bm4YQYUrx5vMISioCtBa8LEacVCN5x1fdx7_zib6UAm3u6Qkpzz6tDC4eFCYzcFGh-WwY6fcKHL/s1000/S__39542824.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2j9FYFI0RnE7q2ClCKEBINfVLslPy_o6f5AVdxaMbqg-XnKWMMHMZLyNx0b6x8JEgoYicYuRPcbC731MmP3dFgxJNin9uhu_pa_3DK2eEfowB3bm4YQYUrx5vMISioCtBa8LEacVCN5x1fdx7_zib6UAm3u6Qkpzz6tDC4eFCYzcFGh-WwY6fcKHL/s320/S__39542824.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colorful Stripes Dorothy</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06. HOLY TALE / 07. NAKED FEELS</u></b><br />I kept waiting on the edge of my seat for whether I would finally get <i>NAKED FEELS</i> again or if Nana would just keep trolling me.... but there it was!!! Aahhhhh.... thank you! (T^T) Hearing it again, and from such a good seat too, really cleansed my soul. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>MC2</b></i></u><br />It is time for the silent <i>Mawatte!</i> -calls as usual, with the <i>Mou ikkai</i> being with all the CheriBos since it’s the final! Nana comments on Ryotan’s reply and points out that her Fan Club is called S.C. NANA NET not S.E. and for getting it wrong she makes him do an extra <i>Mawatte</i> by himself. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then talks about how there were two keyboardists rotating for the tour - Champ and Ryochin (yes, finally I made sure to remember his name ^^;;)- and their schedules were open on exactly different dates except for this last one when they were both available. She then asks them if it’s typical for there to be two keyboardists in one concert and they say no and she asks how it is and they say it’s pretty nice - Ryochin adds that in <i>Spiral</i> for example there’s a piano and an electric piano and typically he’d switch back and forth between the two, but tonight they could split them between the two of them and that made things pretty easy (we all couldn’t help it and laughed out at that, since Nana's songs typically don't make things easy at all xD).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next it's corner time. She says the one tonight might be the most maniacal out of all the ones she’s done during this corner in <i>LIVE HOME</i>. It’ll be her first character song! From NOëL ofc! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><u><b>08. Girl's Age</b></u><br /></span>Oh! This really felt and sounded like such a blast from the past that's for sure. xD Not sure if I ever really listened to this one (and probably never heard this original version anyway), so it was pretty fascinating to hear it now - especially since the current Nana made it sound sooooo good. Like some old school musical / show bar sort of song.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the song, Nana says this song was also reworked for her NOëL CD, but the one she sang tonight was the original version, which was released in a bit of a special kind of format.... Mini CD was it? Nana goes on to say that this corner was full of songs she either sings from time to time or wouldn’t really sing otherwise at all and doesn’t know if/when she’ll sing again. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it's time to return to present day...</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>09. ダブルシャッフル / 10. MARIA&JOKER</u></b><br />Aaahhhh, then we are on to my favorite part of <i>LIVE HOME </i>for the last time. I gotta burn the memory of Nana's fun little spins and her intense <i>"Auh!"</i> from <i>Double Shuffle</i> in my brain. :3</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>Team Yo-Da -showcase</b></i></u><br />Nothing new to add for this tonight!

Reboot! / 12. GUILTY / 13. DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</b></u><br />Can't believe I am experiencing this for the final time.... (T^T) Got super overjoyed though that <i>GUILTY</i> made it into the line up tonight, since that means I get my ultimate combo for this section in the BluRay for sure! Not to mention it's always so great to see it up close from great seats. Same with <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i> of course! Just can't get enough of it... ahhh... I hope it'll keep popping up in the dance corner from now on too instead of disappearing into the abyss like some of my favorite dance songs...</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>MC3<br /></b></u></i>Nana’s like <i>"it's getting hot in here?!" </i>and exclaims that this kind of sweat is the best (the one you get from a summer tour)! She talks about Las Vegas, Persona and stealing our hearts - the usual. She also of course talks about the car. Today it’s big Nanette with Cho-san’s penlight and a smaller Nanette hanging around it’s neck from the small bag that’s part of the goods as the driver, but Nana doesn’t comment on the addition this time. She's so into it that she calls it Nanacar by accident at first, then corrects it Nanallac… then she <i>actually</i> slips up big time and says <b>Cadillac</b> for the first time during the tour… oops. Can't believe this happened during the final night that will be on BluRay.... woops indeed. ^^;; Nana tells us that usually they’d just revamp an existing car or something, but this time it was made from scratch. Though she reckons that making her robot and whatnot was still prob crazier. She said it was so much fun to drive it like it’s a girls trip and says guys weren’t even allowed on the car at all throughout the tour, but Kenny really wanted to try it out so she let him since he has long hair and all and he took a bunch of pics of himself in it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then asks what Itaruvic would want her to ride in a concert in the future and he says she’s pretty much ridden everything conceivable already, but what he’d like to see is a dragon. Like having it ascend up high and then leaving Nana up there by herself and retreating to whence it came and Nana's like ????? xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana proceeds to tell us a story from last night. The moment she got to the hotel she wanted to take a shower/bath, but the door to the bathroom in her room wouldn’t open. She tried and tried and eventually was like<i> "is anyone in there??" </i>but got no reply.. Nana had to call the staff to check it out and they were like <i>"oh yeah sometimes the lock jams"</i> (it’s one of those doors that has a button on the handle you push to lock it on the inside) and told her that if the door closes in that state it might get stuck like this. They sort it out for her and she takes shower/bath while keeping the door a bit open. Nana felt like she was in a horror movie or something and would have liked to changed rooms with Mishi-P but he was already sleeping. xD When she finally went to sleep she felt like it was really cold. She thought it was just her room, but the others luckily said the same thing. Guess since she is used to sleeping in 34.5C, 24 degrees feels very cold. Nana was worried about catching a cold or something but she was revitalized when she came to the venue - the perfect temperature for her is probably the temperature of a live.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next it's time for the only ballad song….</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14.

Nana goes on to how he mentioned the conquering of all the prefectures in the sitcom and speaking of…</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />It's time for her to talk about her outfit and show off some of the live shirts that are part of it.

But since we can’t see her <i>Mawatte</i> if we <i>Mawatte</i> at the same time she says she’ll do it first and then it’s our turn.

We even got the stage spark shower like what's in there in the music clip and what we had during <i>LIVE FLIGHT</i> - so awesome. :3 Since most of Apassionato was happening on the middle stage, that meant the CheriBos were making their way back onto the stage during the spark shower and some of them were visibly worried about walking through. xD Eventually the ones right above the walkway got turned off so it became safer to get onto the stage lol.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>19.

STAND UP!</u></b><br />Yay, we got <i>STAND UP!</i> here! Surprising, but definitely the preferred one for me! We were situated right at the end of our row which meant Nana was going to pass right by us with her tree house cart, but once again she picked that moment to turn away and look at the other side, so we just got her back. (T^T) sometimes I am convinced she does it on purpose... lol.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC6</i></u></b><br /><i>Shaaaaaaaasssu!!!</i> Nana talks about the usual smile-gang stuff and then it’s time for a song she wrote about looking out at our sea of blue penlights at <i>LIVE RUNNER</i> earlier this year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>23. HOME</u></b><br />This song definitely is slooooooowly growing on me thanks to Nana' sentiments about it, so maybe one day I will be bummed that I didn't enjoy it as thoroughly as I should have during <i>LIVE HOME</i>. :3</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the song, Nana says she has some happy news to share… which is that tonight's <i>LIVE HOME</i> will get released on BluRay!! It will release together with <i>LIVE RUNNER</i>! Nana jokes that it will be home runner lol and she ensures us that she will make an appropriate cover for it for sure. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then tells us that she actually has more to announce… there'll be a birthday two day live!! It'll be 1/21-22 in Saitama Super Arena, since that’s also her home ground. She tells us that it'll be like Red/Blue, Queen’s Night/King’s Night, Genesis/Frontier and they already have the title and all decided, but we just need to wait a bit more for the reveal of the details.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>24. No Limit</u></b><br />And so.... <i>LIVE HOME</i> is coming to a close. While enjoying <i>No Limit</i>, I was feeling so grateful to know that we are back to the usual routine of knowing when to expect the next live again. Really glad we've returned to that much normalcy at least.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">When Nana is on stage to say thank you with all the CheriBos and Team Yo-Da, there is also the huge Nanette there with a <i>"congrats for 47 prefectures"</i> shirt as a stand in for Cho-san. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>Encore II!!<br /></b></i></u>Oh yay, she came back! We're getting a second encore! Ryotan basically ran back and Fire is all ready on the slope part of the stage, making Nana even comment that he got ready so fast. The song is from the album for which she did the photo shoot in Nagoya, so <i>SUPERNAL LIBERTY</i>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800180;"><b><u>25. Fun Fun★People</u></b></span><br />Nana tells us to keep having fun fun with them! Man, getting this, <i>GUILTY</i> and <i>Apassionato </i>tonight really made me feel like we did a nostalgia trip to<i> LIVE FLIGHT</i>, which was awesome since that really is still one of the lives I have the fondest memories of. Just a bit of a bummer that we couldn't do the <i>"oh yeahs and oh nos"</i> for her tonight.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGweHZQSFBCu49OZdQp0yxFqrTaX7fWrS3apUjYsQZBuxpIJqy23GxLt3ot1QsqpJlsLUWcmKCOQsCxHaoshgm1YN17aXkNS3-A49lH19GsGpRE92pl1O0yVZ6kPenlS3b7-LL4P1ALn11ytH-n-Sazv6UvTh6MDM9OQ4uCsD1o0Y8PEmTPIJSkBpi/s610/S__39542798.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="610" data-original-width="407" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGweHZQSFBCu49OZdQp0yxFqrTaX7fWrS3apUjYsQZBuxpIJqy23GxLt3ot1QsqpJlsLUWcmKCOQsCxHaoshgm1YN17aXkNS3-A49lH19GsGpRE92pl1O0yVZ6kPenlS3b7-LL4P1ALn11ytH-n-Sazv6UvTh6MDM9OQ4uCsD1o0Y8PEmTPIJSkBpi/s320/S__39542798.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">And that's all for <i>LIVE HOME </i>folks!

My money was on that being left for tomorrow night since the cowgirl outfit was a nice homage to the music clip after all. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I finally kind of started to appreciate <i>Go Live!</i> now too (lol after how many <i>LIVE HOMES</i>?! xD)... a tiny bit! It is kind of fun to clap along for part of the verses. There's a few clap along songs included in the tour actually, and I guess that's kind of a sign of how Covid has changed things - instead of calls, we are given other opportunities to participate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC1</u></i></b><br />Nana tells us the usual greeting of her having come home!

A lot of things have happened this tour… such as her having conquered all prefectures! And… for the last prefecture, Ibaraki, Mishi-P couldn’t come.... Nana mentions how that also happened the first time she made it on to <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dhaku_Uta_Gassen" target="_blank">Kouhaku Uta Gassen</a></i> for the first time… he couldn’t come then either! Though this time, it wasn't just Mishi-P who was out of the picture but also Cho-san. Cho-san was downed by Covid on the first Sendai day and even though he is doing better now, he wasn't able to attend this weekend in Nagoya either.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Finally Nana declares that she wants to get rid of all the stress we’re holding inside tonight!!! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>04. ROMANCERS' NEO / 05. スパイラル</u></b><br />Kind of bummed that we got <i>ROMANCERS' NEO</i> tonight since it was my favorite for this slot in the rotation, but still happy I got to hear it again tonight at least! Also tonight since we were seated kind of far for once, I had reason to glance at the Nana on the big screens by the stage too and I have to say she looks hella cool bathed in full on red lighting during <i>Spiral </i>with the background video showing just white and black.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Cherry Boys -showcase</u></i></b><br />I always tell myself I'll do better catching the "this or that" questions but.... yeah. ^^;; Kado-D was asked if he prefers<i> COSMIC LOVE</i> or <i>DISCOTHEQUE</i> and he picked <i>COSMIC LOVE</i>. Itaruvic was asked if he prefers Komeda Coffee or Starbucks and I think he picked Komeda (Komeda Coffee originated in Nagoya!). Champ got asked something school related again, and then we get a food question again for Fire. Kojiro was asked if he prefers Yamadera Koichi or Sekai no Yamachan (a Nagoyan chain known for chicken wings) and he once again Picks Mishi-P. Kenny is something like Nanago 1? xD Ryutan tells us that ofc his favorite is <i>DISCOTHEQUE</i>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZcD4HJVOoWLNZPoT-8o7MR1wNDaXya74tBaXEire0Ybzs0I0tfFSLJExor4ShLHVb9XzfPaZMmhIf0VV9D0NS4jpi4HepbZ0cf7-RT9IkyhcBOzu75jm0asYyzY2lLUE-p7fNvFTnAMU9ftcN6K_VkBgwWnWqX99GDmIqiX0PM4j5HDYIgzfB6zGp/s975/S__39542817.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="975" data-original-width="650" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZcD4HJVOoWLNZPoT-8o7MR1wNDaXya74tBaXEire0Ybzs0I0tfFSLJExor4ShLHVb9XzfPaZMmhIf0VV9D0NS4jpi4HepbZ0cf7-RT9IkyhcBOzu75jm0asYyzY2lLUE-p7fNvFTnAMU9ftcN6K_VkBgwWnWqX99GDmIqiX0PM4j5HDYIgzfB6zGp/s320/S__39542817.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colorful Stripes Dorothy</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06.

And then Itaruvic for mou ikkai. Nana asks how is it to tour again after three years and Itarvic is like <i>"we were rehearsing for it like less than two months ago and it’s already over"</i>! Itaruvic does some major epic pun, which I couldn’t catch but it smoothly contained quite a few of the prefectures in the tour. Nana wonders if it is ok for her to follow up such an amazing feat with a lame pun of her own and of course we want to hear it. It goes something like <i>"what food does oneesan like most in Nagoya Aichi?"</i> <i>"Tebasaki (chicken wings)!"</i> <i>"Aichi ( as in ah, Ecchi)"</i> Not really sure what is ecchi about tebasaki, unless there is some double meaning there that I am not aware of.. at least it's close to tsumasaki which is toes? ^^;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next it's time for the <i>Nana firsts</i> corner. Last weekend in Sendai was her first anime OP for an anime where she also voiced the main character, <i>Success, success </i>and then the first demo tape which was <i>水中の青空</i> (<i>Suichuu no Aozora)</i>. Today will be.... the first anime ED! Which is....</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><br /><b>08. Heaven knows<br /></b></u>Oh! Getting this was pretty neat! It's honestly so different hearing the Nana of today singing the super fast verses compared to how she did it back in the day, though it kind of sucked that we couldn't sing the <i>"Heaaaaaven knoooooows" </i>bits in the chorus for her tonight.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />After the song, Nana exclaims that who would have thought the first time she got to do an ED would involve rapping! She has lots of memories linked to this song. It was actually also her first music clip (by herself). The shoot for it was starting at 6am in Shinjuku and she woke up at… 6am! She was too nervous to sleep at first, so yeah that happened. Her manager called her asking where she is and she’s like <i>“I’m home”</i> still groggy from sleep. She showed up an hour late to the shoot. xD Nana tells us to be sure to never be late like that!! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">She also reminisces a bit about the <i>Change boys</i>, which was Cheribos playing other instruments from what they usually do.. Nana follows up by saying that one day she will challenge the sax again... in xx years. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>09. ダブルシャッフル / 10. MARIA&JOKER</u></b><br />And time to kick off the bit of<i> LIVE HOME</i> that I just love so much!

Reboot! / 12. Dancing in the velvet moon / 13.

For once we could even get a slight peek into the fine work Team Mizuki put into the dashboard within the car and whatnot.<br /><br />Also even though I really love <i>Dancing in the velvet moon</i> too, I'm thrilled to know that tomorrow night I'll probably get to see <i>GUILTY</i> up close again, since we got quite good seats to look forward to! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC3</u></i></b><br />Nana talks about the car as usual. This time when the car rises back onto the stage, the giant Nanette on the driver’s seat has the long penlight that Cho-san usually waves around. Nana explains the whole casino <i>Persona</i> girl’s roadtrip to steal hearts thinking behind the Team Yo-Da movie and the Nanallac. She says with the car she’s like returned to the origin when it comes to things to ride and she wants to come up with all kinds of new surprises for us again going forward so that it can be made into those little figures again. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana also talks about how she was worried about doing a tour after so long in terms of if her/everyone’s bodies could handle it and also the summer heat, since there hasn’t been much reason for people to go outside. She talks about how in order to take care of her throat she doesn’t keep the AC on all night, instead she turns it on for 30 mins on a timer and then it’s off for the rest of the night (lol I do the same). She asked other seiyuu friends and yep, everyone does the same. Mamo-chan wakes up every hour to turn it on for a little bit though apparently. xD Nana’s like <i>"isn’t that the same as keeping it on all night??" </i>xD She checked recently how hot her room is during the night and it was 34.5 degrees celcius and there’s like a sweat puddle the shape of her body on her bed. Thanks to sweating so much she’s been able to get into shape for the tour, but she says please don’t try this at home tho. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next song is the only ballad and a rare instant of her being by us gently urging us forward rather than the usual strong slap to the back. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14.

Horiuchi Kenyu! He was doing the son and the buff co-workers tonight and Nana took on the mom and dad roles. This time we got a Precure joke in there! He thanks Nana for asking him as a guest, but he thought it’d be for a song rather than something like this. Nana says next time. He reminds that later they’ll sell this live on DVD and BD. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u9kpEAfeyXXsx221DNyg9Gqm4WZSNI_LBRlLkFMfC9JawxuRBmTUeuAJhkLBhabzoDdrKigN42QxrGeCrLtdvn89VFXzsJyjTNw0bPJ4EgMsoPniG9vHp7RfonB2Urgk2qHZIE93iW4_mUnN7SIFSWQBI0mFb-xRdjWJ0IM6UQXx8uBgEzgIdbXk/s800/S__39542819.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2u9kpEAfeyXXsx221DNyg9Gqm4WZSNI_LBRlLkFMfC9JawxuRBmTUeuAJhkLBhabzoDdrKigN42QxrGeCrLtdvn89VFXzsJyjTNw0bPJ4EgMsoPniG9vHp7RfonB2Urgk2qHZIE93iW4_mUnN7SIFSWQBI0mFb-xRdjWJ0IM6UQXx8uBgEzgIdbXk/s320/S__39542819.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />Outfit #4</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Live shirts dress</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>15.

Last weekend in Sendai was Hidaka Noriko. Tonight Horiuchi. Everyone always asks what Nana’s fans would like them to say in the home comedy dub or what kind of things can they say without making her fans mad etc apparently.

I was so sure <i>RODEO COWGIRL</i> would be saved for tomorrow, again because of the cowgirl and American vibe that's really strong throughout <i>LIVE HOME</i>! Bamboozled by Nana yet again! Anyway, I embrace this rotation with open arms since <i>RODEO COWGIRL </i>really is pretty low on my list of favorites, if it's on it at all tbh.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC6</u></i></b><br /><i>Shassu!</i> Nana goes over the usual stuff about smile-gang and mentions that maybe they’ll try to do something special for the 1111th episode. She then tells us that the next song is the name sake of the live and is based on what she felt in January returning to the stage and seeing everyone’s penlights during <i>LIVE RUNNER</i>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>23.

Even though we are not quite there yet Nana keeps wishing and wishing for the day when she can see our faces and smiles and hear our voices again. That’s why the next song is…</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>24.

Even after attending so many, I am not ready. orz<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana tells everyone to take care of themselves again and is like take a bath for sure and don’t catch a cold etc when she runs off the stage at the end.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />And oh!!! They were handing out streamers outside again! I don't know how it was in Sendai, but from the ones I attended I guess only Saitama was the stingy one with nothing of the sort arranged.... </p>RjOkamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13421115793379175045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431611253573380782.post-23172359411200501712022-08-24T18:33:00.002+09:002022-08-24T18:52:27.977+09:00ストラトスフィア(Stratosphere)-Translation-<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikEqw9FSLqxPR5kMWRLT432yOnnZ4jj2LJg2qMrnF8rL9V2jCCcSPIvIX48JgluOjJczYcizaz2dOY7z4dsGheFNufqpc9vYHsFY7ncDAkFLLabRWuc0N7_kZO-pi3QmGzV97V12JNKYK5A5StEpQu-jiBbmcU8YIwkkMgomkDphXGbwT7vIrgJWRJ/s2048/FXfRb-DVsAAMoiA%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="911" data-original-width="2048" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikEqw9FSLqxPR5kMWRLT432yOnnZ4jj2LJg2qMrnF8rL9V2jCCcSPIvIX48JgluOjJczYcizaz2dOY7z4dsGheFNufqpc9vYHsFY7ncDAkFLLabRWuc0N7_kZO-pi3QmGzV97V12JNKYK5A5StEpQu-jiBbmcU8YIwkkMgomkDphXGbwT7vIrgJWRJ/w443-h197/FXfRb-DVsAAMoiA%20(1).jpg" width="443" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Unexpectedly (to me anyway)</span><i style="text-align: left;"> Stratosphere </i><span style="text-align: left;">scored the most points in my recent translation poll on Twitter so here it is!

I have to say though that rather than paying that much attention to the songs themselves I was just mesmerized watching Nana, since it's really not often you get seats like this. I was kinda worried I wouldn't see much since the row right in front of us had a bunch of tall dudes, but luckily it wasn't too bad even with them there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC1</u></i></b><br />Tadaima! Nana declares she's home! She has returned to Saitama! She mentions again tonight that she wanted to include Saitama in the tour, since that’s where she restarted lives earlier this year with <i>LIVE RUNNER</i>. Nana also mentions that she started with typical encore songs to make us feel like we’ve come home too. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: #800180;">04. ROMANCERS’ NEO</span> / 05. スパイラル</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oooohhhhhh.... that's a surprise!! Was not expecting <i>ROMANCERS' NEO </i>at all! My brain actually had a proper <i>"Huh?"</i> moment when the intro started for it. Think it was the very first time that <i>Justice to Believe </i>was rotated out during the tour so far? I am not a super fan of <i>Justice to Believe</i> personally, so this switch got me really excited, not gonna lie! <br /> <br />And Spiral also hit differently when we were right there, so watching Nana sing it kinda put me in a hyperfocus like trance. And that's where my woes for the evening began... since my resting bitch face game is strong.... ^^;; I snapped out of it, alarmed that if Nana or anyone happened to look my way they'd think I was having a bad time and tried my best to actively smile instead.... but it'd always slip away once I got really into a song. orz<br /><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>Cherry Boys -showcase</i></u></b><br />I always tell myself I will try and catch more of these... but then I never do! Kado-D I remember every time since he's the first and this time his <i>"this or that?"</i> question was <i>"Fate or Tsubasa?"</i> to which he answered Tsubasa. Fire's is always food related I feel, though I can't remember what it specifically was. xD Kojiro was asked<i> "Nishikawa or Takeda?" </i>(as in which one has the better muscles, T.M.Revolution or Shinji Takeda lol) and he once again answers <i>"Mishima"</i> (aka Mishi-P). xD Then Ryotan kinda messed up the question to Kenny and Kenny takes the chance to not let him finish and instead just declares<i> "Number 1!" </i>already. Ryotan finishes off by saying that he of course prefers Fate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55do0-YceQ6rg6LnqhXZHTa5g-iAqzfjl7lgFh2yVb-VlWUrC6eHlLkp3ELGz4oDfp2e2FnlCEGNFV8eKgTXCm2v-JkpkakkBo2sN_rakoASy5mJvC16OVIn1Oj-GETCy88aP1V2gy-E0hYtk59WrJUYfCAOUUMmWguKhw2Yeq-yuqzjxrrgbmQwz/s1451/S__38846533.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1451" data-original-width="997" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi55do0-YceQ6rg6LnqhXZHTa5g-iAqzfjl7lgFh2yVb-VlWUrC6eHlLkp3ELGz4oDfp2e2FnlCEGNFV8eKgTXCm2v-JkpkakkBo2sN_rakoASy5mJvC16OVIn1Oj-GETCy88aP1V2gy-E0hYtk59WrJUYfCAOUUMmWguKhw2Yeq-yuqzjxrrgbmQwz/s320/S__38846533.jpg" width="220" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colorful Stripes Dorothy</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06.

During <i>LOOKING ON THE MOON</i> Nana made her way past us to the middle stage and we ended up watching her back for most of it.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>MC2</u></b><br /><i>Mawatte</i> time! Nana is laughing that she is basically mawatte'ing already when she was turning around on the middle stage asking if we wanted a mawatte. Today’s <i>mou ikkai </i>is with Ryotan, because Nana could hear him giving his all on the Cheribo song. Ryotan says she should talk to Itaruvic too for some fun puns. Itaruvic says he always just makes the same pun in Saitama. Saitamaman? Idk, I didn't really catch it. D: Nana comments on how Kojiro has been replying "Mishi-P" these both nights. She wonders why he picked Mishi-P tonight though, since Nishikawa and Shinji are so buff and Mishi-P is quite the opposite. He’s been losing weight so she is worried. Then she mentions Shinji being here last night and that he lifted his shirt and was showing his abs to everyone and all that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it's special corner time! Nana goes through all the previous songs in the corner so far again. Tonight it will be the first song Nana wrote herself! <i>Tsubasa wo Hirogete</i>! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p><span style="color: #800180;">08. <span><span style="text-align: justify;">つばさをひろげて</span><br /></span></span><span style="text-align: justify;">Not sure if I had heard this before, probably not! Definitely feels very early Nana and the lyrics are quite simple to what she'd do these days. I managed to dig it up from Niconico in case anyone would like to have a listen to it as well:<br /><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="176" scrolling="no" src="https://ext.nicovideo.jp/thumb/nm8842456" style="border: solid 1px #ccc;" width="312"><a href="https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm8842456">水樹奈々 「つばさをひろげて・デモVer.」 CD未収録</a></iframe></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br />This song is from before Nana joined King Records. She tells us she wrote it when she was 19. Nana says there’s some weird phrasing in there that she wouldn’t use anymore so you could say it’s a good way to see how far she has come since then. She then tells us that it's time to return to present day. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>09. ダブルシャッフル / 10.

I really can't get enough of Nana prancing and twirling around for <i>Double Shuffle</i>.

It was nice to see the Nanallac this close up, it had kinda looked pretty real from far away but now it was obvious that it had indeed been handcrafted from zero. Huge kudos to Team Mizuki! Also, since I've been a huge fan of <i>GUILTY </i>ever since I first heard it in <i>SUPERNAL LIBERTY</i> and then when I had the chance to enjoy the dance for it at <i>LIVE FLIGHT</i>, it was really nice to finally get to enjoy it with such a great view after all these years. And of course, my soul just simply melted with <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i> because that song is just magical and I just wished I could see it again the moment it ended.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC3</u></i></b><br />Nana talks about the Persona connection throughout a bunch of things. As I was thinking, one of them was indeed the casino vibe. The outfit she is currently wearing is inspired by her character and Joker was of course connected to <i>MARIA&JOKER</i>. And then the car was her and the gang on their way to steal some hearts. Then it’s time for Nana's usual car talk - today it shows up on stage with a big Nanette wearing a cowboy hat on the driver’s seat and Nana is like ???? was there a big Nanette like that ever as part of the goods or something?? She says how her team made the Nanallac from scratch, but paid so much attention to even the little details like adding the Nanallac logo after she gave it that name in Hyogo. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">She also tells us about conquering all 47 prefectures finally! She goes into this story of having taken a shower at the venue in Ibaraki before the bus ride back, since it’s a sports venue and had some showers and all, and then after leaving she got a LINE from her stylist and she was like oh that’s rare and thought her stylist was going to congratulate her for the 47 prefectures, but instead her stylist was like <i>“hey you forgot your underwear” </i>and Nana tells everyone to always remember to take their underwear with them lol. Tmi maybe? xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next it’s time for the only ballad. Nana says her songs are mostly about giving everyone a strong push on the back, but since everyone has been through a lot these past couple of years she made this song more with the image of her gently holding our hand and going forward one step at a time. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14. Stand by you</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So for some reason, the guys in front of us sat down for <i>Stand by you</i>, which meant we were fully visible and I was feeling quite awkward and embarrassed, but then Nana randomly waved at us unprompted and we waved back, which was kinda nice actually. :3 It kind of added a layer to the song in that sense that it felt like she was truly singing it to us in particular (even though that's ofc not the case really, but still it's a nice comforting feeling to imagine!).</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>Family Sitcom - insert movie<br /></b></u></i>Sugita and Nana again, but this time Sugita is the mom and dad + also one of the buff guys. The Nana son and Sugita mom talk about how they first “met” when doing Basilisk but didn’t actually have a chance to talk yet. They also of course make some Persona 5 jokes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This time it ends with one of Nana's well-known Tsubasa lines「話はベッドで訊かせてもらう」<br />(=<i>Hanashi wa beddo de kikasete morau</i>) which literally means <i>"I'll listen to what you wanna say in bed" </i>but was used with the nuance of <i>"I'll hear what you wanna say after I defeat you"</i>... though with Tsubasa it could honestly mean either. xD<br /><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw_iMZFKJJTMzWeedtQGEpAg5AbqdZWvvREj5Xg4ialkYzkehv77NJqoP1-GNh2iEX2umFpud3ZC4cwBNT6h6iaaJJh5kb0gCvdBr0A3vIlNTJm36U9_Pe35WX8pmjN_WsqSdgOBzdxyRrMbyw85ii9VXqHRF0Z80hJea7GR0w0eyrZM3ROSWGaCe/s1478/S__38846535.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1108" data-original-width="1478" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHw_iMZFKJJTMzWeedtQGEpAg5AbqdZWvvREj5Xg4ialkYzkehv77NJqoP1-GNh2iEX2umFpud3ZC4cwBNT6h6iaaJJh5kb0gCvdBr0A3vIlNTJm36U9_Pe35WX8pmjN_WsqSdgOBzdxyRrMbyw85ii9VXqHRF0Z80hJea7GR0w0eyrZM3ROSWGaCe/s320/S__38846535.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #4</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Live shirts dress</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>15. FIRE SCREAM / 16. WHAT YOU WANT</b></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man, this outfit and <i>FIRE SCREAM</i> Nana is just too cool for words. Really wish we could do the calls for it...... sigh. Also, this outfit just really is so cool - I really love the concept and it was pretty mesmerizing watching Nana strut it all over.... and as such, I got so into watching Nana go back and forth on the stage for <i>WHAT YOU WANT</i> that I once again got scared by the explosions at the end lol. xD So what is it now, 2-1 on explosions vs. RJ? Can't remember what happened at Hyogo so not including that in the count....</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC4</i></u></b><br />Nana talks about the sitcom as usual. I kinda felt like she was looking at me when she started kinda like she was worried about what us overseas fans might think of it xD so I gave her a slight nod of approval. She praises Sugita’s work saying he inserted a little bit of many of his roles in there. She also explains that she picked Sugita for this weekend since he is from Saitama. Nana says to look forward to who appears for Sendai and then Nagoya and that hopefully all the versions will be included in the Bluray since they are honestly all quite different. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">She says the usual about next song and how it encompasses all her feelings from the pandemic. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>17. MY ENTERTAINMENT / <span style="color: #800180;">18. アパッショナート</span>/ 19. ETERNAL BLAZE</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man.. like I mentioned in my first Saitama report, <i>MY ENTERTAINMENT </i>keeps getting to me more and more every time. Having Nana be right there in front of us for it was really making me feel it in the deepest chambers of my heart.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Oh and another surprise for tonight! <i>Apassionato</i>! Nana went to the middle stage for it, which meant that we were looking at her back for most of it. Luckily Cheribos were there along the way to the mid stage facing the sides to keep us company... though I did kinda keep having my eyes drawn to her shoes since the heels she always sports are insane! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">When <i>ETERNAL BLAZE</i> started up, Nana whirled around and started heading back towards the main stage and I am pretty sure she glanced our way and kinda smiled too. Ahhhh~! :3 Also it's been a while being this close to the stage where you can actually feel the heat from the stage flames when they burst up.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC5</u></i></b><br />And then, it's time for last song. Nana says that the time just feels like it goes so fast since she was waiting for this for so long. She really awaits the day when we don’t have to mask up anymore (though still take care of your vaxxes!) for lives and thanks us for being there even in the midst of all the uncertainties and she hopes the day will come when everyone who couldn’t be there tonight will be able to be here again for lives. She is literally zenryoku dreaming (=dreaming with all she's got) for that day. And hence....</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>20. 全力DREAMER</u></b><br />I've kept saying every report pretty much how this was a good finisher for the live even if it wasn't one of my top favs from the new album, and honestly the more and more she explains about it each time the more I am feeling the feels she wants us to be associating with it. So I guess, it is winning me over more and more?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Encore!</u></i></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0VGM9Ixp_O7hdtLJJMM8wpttsc6Gj9sDRN5yVK-POTVywDHPEM52X9QgFe_yCyIvXpFiccluM5xbYpPoHb6DiaJ_7Dt5qRurBu2pnL3boYsf64u43G2Tf3ohkHRoEhWS628lqKOHiXADOfPbMnFjOBlWpJHpX394720al-DthA7sJSP_WpPsedG-/s1056/S__38846536.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="976" data-original-width="1056" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0VGM9Ixp_O7hdtLJJMM8wpttsc6Gj9sDRN5yVK-POTVywDHPEM52X9QgFe_yCyIvXpFiccluM5xbYpPoHb6DiaJ_7Dt5qRurBu2pnL3boYsf64u43G2Tf3ohkHRoEhWS628lqKOHiXADOfPbMnFjOBlWpJHpX394720al-DthA7sJSP_WpPsedG-/s320/S__38846536.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #5</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Green skirt and Nanette shirt</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>21. レイジーシンドローム / 22.

I feel like I probably haven't gotten such a good look at them before now. <i>RODEO COWGIRL</i> proceeded pretty much in the same fashion of not being able to see Nana, but for it we got Team Yo-Da keeping us company on the mid stage way instead! Honestly, it was so nice to see everyone and not just her having clearly such a great time.</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC6</u></i></b><br /><i>SHASSU</i>! Nana says how because of the shassu-call she always has a chance to talk about smile gang here. They've already passed 1000 episodes? But didn’t get to do anything special to celebrate the occasion, so they are trying to think of something to do soon. Then next it’s time to aim for 2000 eps!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana mentions how she wrote the next song based on how being back on stage felt to her in January for <i>LIVE RUNNER</i>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>23. HOME</b></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man... I got so into listening and watching her sing this that my brain went down this weird rabbit hole of how it's so nice how she sings 地球-そら-より熱く青い海 (=<i>The sea of blue hotter than the earth's sky</i>) and if you didn't know about penlight and all that, you might think she was actually just talking about the sea instead of the sea of blue penlights at her concerts. I mean, the whole song is so clearly about lives even if it's not very specifically mentioned and I quite like that.</div><p style="text-align: justify;">And before I knew it, it was time for the actual last song. Nana mentions the usual about how its about her wishes for us to be able to get back to well, no limits. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>24. No Limit</b></u><br />And once again, we have reached the limit of this limitlessly joyful time. (T^T) It really is just never enough.....</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After all the thank yous, greetings and whatnot Nana tells everyone to change their masks to a clean one and wipe the sweat from our faces etc, essentially telling us to take care of ourselves in all the small ways we can.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTEjdFhDwCWOBNwkgNoZh67hDezdOOt8hZfrSbxAC_Odae6CZLjvwg72YX5hLY2wC-A5Qe4ObYUb4JQN4rWxo_iEj3VnlKRxNGHpTKsge2DuCwQyRUmuD3X2URC5g-WN5Xxy4j2CBP2g_vp7hG-AgqsmShYlV9YgbVQ4_khhPrDTAI7PcZjyo6MfX7/s1013/S__38846538.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1013" data-original-width="1012" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTEjdFhDwCWOBNwkgNoZh67hDezdOOt8hZfrSbxAC_Odae6CZLjvwg72YX5hLY2wC-A5Qe4ObYUb4JQN4rWxo_iEj3VnlKRxNGHpTKsge2DuCwQyRUmuD3X2URC5g-WN5Xxy4j2CBP2g_vp7hG-AgqsmShYlV9YgbVQ4_khhPrDTAI7PcZjyo6MfX7/w249-h249/S__38846538.jpg" width="249" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">And that's that for the fun and intense weekend - thanks Saitama!

I thought I could dish this one out even a bit faster thanks to taking a couple of days off for Obon, but somehow I have been just very sleepy all the time.

It’s been 1035 days since <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i> (though the day count might have been till the start of this tour and not today specifically). She explains that the "home" theme is also why she took a bunch of the pics for <i>DELIGHTED REVIVER</i> at SSA and says we probably spotted some of the locations on our way today. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>04.

From the ones I do remember, Kado-D was asked<i> "Captain Marvel or NCIS Hawaii?"</i> to which he answered with NCIS. Then the keyboardist (I swore I'd actually remember his name this time but I still forgot it...) was asked<i> "hamburger steak or steak?" </i>and he picked hamburger steak. Kojiro was asked <i>"Kitajima (aka Kenny) or Itaru (aka Itaruvic)?" </i>and he answered with Mishima (aka Mishi-P). Ryutan chimes in on his turn that he definitely prefers Captain Marvel.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlgyIEFysf3OplB9Nkl1yj_AzlQ6zHjTzMvt6qQhbmbxXQwCKyiFjs17BK2mtWixkOLiWq92OXdIBYbsa-7qmnzQdOonw-h4rnDDgkMwVH4cdY-Z5ultkQuQ0vmWsPsMW3OcY8TBpUqcwnji7Xpp_xMtmp9eVbFYBpjIlIYTS-nMhbiV_xjaeIL7dz/s788/S__38846531.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="532" data-original-width="788" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlgyIEFysf3OplB9Nkl1yj_AzlQ6zHjTzMvt6qQhbmbxXQwCKyiFjs17BK2mtWixkOLiWq92OXdIBYbsa-7qmnzQdOonw-h4rnDDgkMwVH4cdY-Z5ultkQuQ0vmWsPsMW3OcY8TBpUqcwnji7Xpp_xMtmp9eVbFYBpjIlIYTS-nMhbiV_xjaeIL7dz/s320/S__38846531.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>LIVE HOME</i> on big display on the side of SSA.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colorful Stripes Dorothy</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06. HOLY TALE / 07. ダーリングプラスティック</u></b><br />It was nice being able to see all of <i>HOLY TALE</i> well again, since in Ibaraki it was the one song we didn't get to see too well from our seats. It kinda reminds me of <i>Tears' Night</i> in the sense that there's the epic instrumental bit in the latter half that has a different flavor to the song so far till then. Was hoping to get <i>NAKED FEELS</i> again, but it was time for <i>Darling Plastic</i> tonight. I guess that means tomorrow we'd get it......? Right?! During <i>Darling Plastic</i>, Nana makes her way to the middle stage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b><br />Then it's <i>Mawatte</i> -time on the middle stage! Nana does the <i>mou ikkai </i>tonight with Kenny, because it recently was his birthday. Nana asks how old he is now and he says 64. Nana asks how it is playing at her live at 64 and he says<i> “it’s fun”</i> and she tells him to keep it up and he’s like <i>“ok”</i> . Then we get a Kenny number 1 ofc. She also bugs the keyboardist about his hamburger steak answer and gushes again about how he went to Todai and thus there is an elite among us. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it’s time for the special corner of <i>"Nana's firsts"</i>! We’ve had first anime OP, first solo live song, first song in front of people and first dance song. Now it’ll be first cover song! <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p><u><b><span style="color: #800180;">08. おんなになあれ</span> / 09. ダブルシャッフル / 10. MARIA&JOKER</b></u><br />Oh, I actually wasn't aware<i> Onna ni Naare</i> was a cover song! Always just thought it was quite a different flavor of song from Nana's other songs at the time.... guess that explains it. :3 It was really great to hear it live tonight! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">After finishing the song, Nana tells us how this first cover ties to when she did a demo for NOëL, the game that started many things for her. She sang one of Miho Morikawa’s songs for the demo, which landed her the role and then for the <i>POWER GATE</i> single Mishi-P chose this song as a B-side to celebrate that fact. Nana declares that she has become an adult! She corrects herself and says she's become a woman, finally (since <i>Onna ni Naare</i> means <i>"Let me become a woman"</i>)! Then she tells us that it is time for a change of pace… </p><p style="text-align: justify;">And with that we go into my favorite casino segment of <i>Double Shuffle </i>and <i>MARIA&JOKER</i>. I honestly can't get enough of these songs! They go so well together and Nana is just so damn cool singing them. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u>Team Yo-Da -showcase</u></b></i><br />Oh I realize I still forgot to mention in previous reports that it starts with a calling card a la <i>Persona 5</i> style! And that the dancer names are written very much in <i>Persona 5</i> style too. At the very end, Nana leaves the calling card with an N on it after stealing the treasure. It was cool tonight too how the lights on stage matched and extended the lasers protecting the treasure in the movie. My husband commented that it'd be cool if the idea was that the dancers were Nana's Persona.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuFl170vhmhbkuPdvUvWdOv9gVjE4RaSzY7WuX3AquBzhRsnifnBFPZoYkqzXFVeUvS8noRC2jp3XEdMOUktZGT3sw8i2AMIk60-TDGMRjPUFZoEGKBRjxUXGYBRdj9juS4IQg9drQFSzzLGFSW6ZkQxuRYXSbp6XkrSjPRRHH1GSeS-6RQNu1gvj/s837/S__38846527.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="773" data-original-width="837" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiuFl170vhmhbkuPdvUvWdOv9gVjE4RaSzY7WuX3AquBzhRsnifnBFPZoYkqzXFVeUvS8noRC2jp3XEdMOUktZGT3sw8i2AMIk60-TDGMRjPUFZoEGKBRjxUXGYBRdj9juS4IQg9drQFSzzLGFSW6ZkQxuRYXSbp6XkrSjPRRHH1GSeS-6RQNu1gvj/s320/S__38846527.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nana's autograph and message celebrating 20 years of SSA.</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #3</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cat ears + red skirtish jeans combo</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>11. Reboot! / 12. Dancing in the velvet moon / 13. DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</u></b><br />No special driver today for <i>Reboot!</i>, think it was just a couple of members of Team Yo-Da "on the wheel" tonight. Since we could see the screen at the back of the stage well again tonight, I kept getting distracted by all the English that popped up on there during the song. xD Back to <i>Rosario+Vampire</i> vibes here with <i>Dancing in the velvet moon</i>!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also by now, I have thoroughly started to enjoy the <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse- </i>dance. Really love the instrumental bit where we get to clap for her and she's doing like a little flamenco show.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC3</i></u></b><br />Nana explains how her outfit was <i>Persona</i> inspired and so was the car (yes her norimono this time appeared earlier than usual!) as it was as if her and the gang were on their way to steal hearts. Nana talks more about the car! It is also linked to the going home theme and American vibe. She mentions it’s called Nanallac and is a ***illac and then she notices a <i>“Nanallac”</i> label has appeared on the side of the car and she is like ??? Was it there in Ibaraki?? And she then tells us there’s some really cool details even on the dashboard even though no one else can see them. Team Mizuki ftw! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana asks if we are doing okay with all the intense songs and having to wear masks all the time. It's now time for the only ballad of the evening and she hopes that’ll give us enough of a rest to manage the epic intense stuff that comes after. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>14.

He is doing the boy and the coworkers. There's a bunch of jokes related to <i>Uramichi Onii-san</i> this time, since I guess that's the latest anime they've done together. Sugita has so much to say that he is speaking even when the mouths of the actors ain't moving. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIxP0sr2hTZOjViCgCjK5v-vc_K329FVlVU8yEV22dRdoO8SPo3ws--xZgLj18gsAijjoAX-6ZHiWzpXHEMucFSxqs8QsliEiaZEwQjaSd4pieOU5HIqt0xK32uzirw5ScY4GPGkJllhI31vRqf1uQhGf5eu2x8S3QY53_WarOdKog39eHzsno0BBl/s1176/S__38846529.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1176" data-original-width="769" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIxP0sr2hTZOjViCgCjK5v-vc_K329FVlVU8yEV22dRdoO8SPo3ws--xZgLj18gsAijjoAX-6ZHiWzpXHEMucFSxqs8QsliEiaZEwQjaSd4pieOU5HIqt0xK32uzirw5ScY4GPGkJllhI31vRqf1uQhGf5eu2x8S3QY53_WarOdKog39eHzsno0BBl/s320/S__38846529.jpg" width="209" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>DELIGHTED REVIVER</i> picture display by SSA.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />Outfit #4</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Live shirts dress</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>15. FIRE SCREAM / 16. UNLIMITED BEAT</u></b><br />Oh cool, back to the very first rotation I got in Kobe! I keep trying to spot if Nana goes wild enough during <i>FIRE SCREAM</i> to drop some of her accessories again but I don't think she did this time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, tonight I was prepared for the explosion effects at the end <i>UNLIMITED BEAT</i>, but the lady beside me got quite the scare from them for sure. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC4</u></i></b><br />Nana asks if the explosion surprised us. And then she’s like speaking of surprises… and proceeds to talk about the sitcom. She then mentions how Sugita and her go way back and how he’s been there for a lot of her stuff like the<i> POP MASTER</i> music clip and <i>Zachou Kouen - </i>he is the fukuzachou (vice chair) btw. She also talks about how in between the lives when she had a free weekend there was the <i>Uramichi Onii-san </i>event as well where both she and Sugita were and how it was just a bunch of dudes and her. She mentions how she was all posing for Mamo's selfie that he was taking for his blog, but turns out he just took a close up pic of himself. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then talks about being a guest in <a href="http://www.bluenote.co.jp/jp/artists/shinji-takeda/">Shinji Takeda’s live at Blue Note </a>and then says oh he should be here tonight and we all look back to the 300 level where all the VIP guests sit and he’s there frantically waving his penlight. When they shine the lights on him he goes even crazier, basically moshing and even lifting up his shirt and stuff. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then goes into saying that she is trying to make the most of being able to do stuff again and hence she is appearing in many things and she and Team MIZUKI have many things cooking even from now on too. She says the next song encompasses her feelings from the past two years and she hopes we’ll accept them. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>17. MY ENTERTAINMENT / 18. 禁断のレジスタンス / 19. ETERNAL BLAZE</u></b><br />Time for the epic segment! Every time I hear <i>MY ENTERTAINMENT</i> live, it just gets me in the feels more and more. Nana's music really has gotten me through a lot and I dunno where I'd be without her.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><b><i><u>MC5</u></i></b><br />It’s time for last song... Nana says her usual lives are nice thing and that the exchange of energy between her and us really means a lot to her and how she can feel the voices of our hearts even though we can't make a sound. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>20. 全力DREAMER</u></b><br />Kinda been wondering now if <i>Zenryoku DREAMER</i> was supposed to be a towel song, if waving towels around was allowed.

Nana talks about smile-gang like always, but I don't think there was much new content this time.

HOME</b></u><br />And we are on the final stretch of the night yet again... time really goes too fast.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it's time for the actual last song. Nana apologizes that it’s all been intense songs that have lots of calls normally and thanks us for behaving regardless. She thanks us for being there despite everything and that there are a lot of people who couldn’t be here tonight too and that she hopes they will be able to come again soon. She says that she hopes that soon we can go back to no masks so she can see everyone’s wonderful smiles again and that we can cheer her on with our voices as well and that the next song she'll sing tonight will be the embodiment of those wishes… so that we can be once again with no limit. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>24. No Limit</u></b><br />Still finding it bittersweet that <i>No Limit </i>is here to mark the end/limit of the concert itself. (T^T) At least we're coming tomorrow again!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When she is leaving she tells everyone to remember to go to the toilet and stay hydrated and take care of ourselves. <br /><br />On a similar note, we decided to treat ourselves to a kind of fancy hotel close by instead of going all the way home between the concerts and man was it nice to just jump into onsen after the live (yes, we are getting old xD)! Also, sadly no handing out of streamers at the exits by staff this time.... a shame... guess SSA is too big of a venue for that.</p>RjOkamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13421115793379175045noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431611253573380782.post-17081696511224073912022-08-08T19:08:00.004+09:002022-08-08T19:09:31.793+09:00カルペディエム (Carpe diem)-Translation-<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcyFyk-pZESqvN7ixGVAkaL29F3Zn_mERbc62O9bFzTyD8hqs9FdOORCllsUTmvoDmlZixpTFtpOPG52EnMe34FSHVbpP6z_nSkg9-Tzbjw9PCqkcV0tOXtBbZGHQS6NGCvYARfLMfXdmEekeKZSWd_sqhyeonGEn9YhtxQmtXNGykVTCURHJa3_D/s500/20292700.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcyFyk-pZESqvN7ixGVAkaL29F3Zn_mERbc62O9bFzTyD8hqs9FdOORCllsUTmvoDmlZixpTFtpOPG52EnMe34FSHVbpP6z_nSkg9-Tzbjw9PCqkcV0tOXtBbZGHQS6NGCvYARfLMfXdmEekeKZSWd_sqhyeonGEn9YhtxQmtXNGykVTCURHJa3_D/w316-h316/20292700.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Ha, bet ya'll thought I forgot that I promised this one?!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <br />...Well you are right, I did and actually had a nearly finished version of the translation just sitting around for a couple of months - woops, sorry! m(_ _)m But here it is now and <i>Stratosphere</i> will be coming soon too, along with my <i>LIVE HOME</i> Saitama reports!<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks for QC go again to my partner in crime, Chinatsu. <br /><br />I've also leveled up all of my previous translation posts by updating the format and adding a Spotify clip, so you can at least listen to a part of the song while you read the translation.

I had to correct my oversight when I realized Ibaraki would mark the end of Nana's goal to have a live in all of Japan's 47 prefectures. Also fittingly for the <i>LIVE HOME</i> theme, we made a road trip out of it and it ended up actually being the first time we drove in Japan so far! It was a lot of fun! Again, since no live pics are available yet, I'll be seasoning the post with some random road trip pics for you to enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also as part of my updated report style, I'm going to start color coding the songs that appeared for the first time in the rotation for each concert I attend this tour, so you'll know with a glance which parts of the report might be the most different from previous one I already wrote.</div><p>(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 01 at Hyogo, go <a href="https://rjokami.blogspot.com/2022/07/nana-mizuki-live-home-road-01-at-hyogo.html" target="_blank">[here]</a>!)</p><p>(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 05 at Saitama, go <a href="https://rjokami.blogspot.com/2022/08/nana-mizuki-live-home-2022-road-05-at.html" target="_blank">[here]</a>!)</p><p>(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 06 at Saitama, go <a href="https://rjokami.blogspot.com/2022/08/nana-mizuki-live-home-2022-road-06-at.html">[here]</a>!)</p><p>(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 09 at Aichi, go <a href="https://rjokami.blogspot.com/2022/09/nana-mizuki-live-home-2022-road-09-at.html" target="_blank">[here]</a>!)</p><p>(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 10 at Aichi, go <a href="http://rjokami.blogspot.com/2022/10/nana-mizuki-live-home-2022-road-10-at.html">[here]</a>!)<br /><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>Goods</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This time we ended up actually popping over to the goods stall, since we always grab a pin for the venues that we attend and we didn't have the Ibaraki one yet!

New Sensation / 02. POWER GATE / 03. Go Live!</b><br />Same set here as for the first night in Hyogo, but man, seeing it unfold from so close by was something else. Sometimes even when you are at the concert, it's kinda hard to comprehend that you actually are in the same space as the artist since you'll be so far away and you can't really make them out too well... but not so tonight. Nana was right there. Just another human being like the rest of us. It was honestly just so refreshing to get to focus on her like this tonight. I was honestly glad that I didn't currently have blazing red hair since I felt pretty embarrassed with my gaijin face when she came to sing at our end of the stage during <i>POWER GATE</i>. ^^;; I have become a boring adult who's uncomfortable with being perceived lol.<br /><br /></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>MC1</b></u></i> <br />Nana starts with exclaiming that she's finally here in Ibaraki!! Since yesterday was the first Ibaraki live, it marked the completion of Nana’s mission to conquer all 47 prefectures and tonight's marks the beginning of round two (this woman never rests does she xD)! Nana welcomes us to<i> LIVE HOME</i>!! It’s been around 12 years since Nana started her mission to conquer all the prefectures, and it’s been 20 years since she started touring! Nana has a funny story to tell us - Mishi-P has been there for every prefecture she’s toured in, attending her lives…. Except this weekend for the last one lol. Turns out he caught Covid this week and hence couldn’t make it. DDDD: He’s fine though, she reassures us!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>04. Justice to Believe / 05. スパイラル<br /></b></u>Now that I had such a good view and all, I found myself paying attention to a lot of details rather than the overall thing - like how we had nice bisexual lighting for the verses of <i>Justice to Believe,</i> which I had totally missed in Hyogo. xD Also thanks to our seat not having visibility of the deep middle part of the stage, I realized that the kind of distracting background videos were nicely blocked from view! Which meant I could really keep my focus on Nana herself 100%.</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Cherry Boys -showcase</u><br />I realized tonight that maybe the reason why these feels shorter than usual is that actually the Cheribo song was really short and I'm pretty sure they used to be longer! Maybe minimizing the amount of time other folks apart from Nana are vocal is another pandemic measure. So again, Ryutan was asking everyone <i>"this or that?" </i>questions of which I've once again missed quite a few (these also flew past way fast). But the ones I did catch were Kado-D being asked <i>"Nanoha or Symphogear?"</i> and he replied that he loves Symphogear, Martin (I think it was him?) was asked <i>"Nattō or NATO?"</i> and he replied nattō of course and Kenny was asked <i>"My Number or [something I did not catch]?"</i> to which he replied <i>"Kenny My Number 1!!"</i> xD And in case you didn't know, <a href="https://www.kojinbango-card.go.jp/en/" target="_blank">My Number</a> is basically a social security number system used in Japan!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHncn9iA-Y5Hpf2eocYrRT9qGnSgr7v7W-1RD3TTNYeWSf6s2Xx8T9PTnbCK7nbCUxgZ-RScuMOA4bhQwSeaT5jNEyv4p1WoDfaRYieaicLViZ1IvYERhRJKI6b7fDR0jNRBFljY6OffY32Ds3WGK2zqy_Jb9RgzF9yBu9jXrOPTVox-i582Fo814U/s1478/S__38567961.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1108" data-original-width="1478" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHncn9iA-Y5Hpf2eocYrRT9qGnSgr7v7W-1RD3TTNYeWSf6s2Xx8T9PTnbCK7nbCUxgZ-RScuMOA4bhQwSeaT5jNEyv4p1WoDfaRYieaicLViZ1IvYERhRJKI6b7fDR0jNRBFljY6OffY32Ds3WGK2zqy_Jb9RgzF9yBu9jXrOPTVox-i582Fo814U/s320/S__38567961.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Oarai Isosaki Shrine</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b><br />Colorful Stripes Dress</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06.

Once she did show up at the front part of the stage again I noticed that she was wearing bright red heels with this outfit, which made me wonder if the outfit was actually a homage to Dorothy from <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> and her iconic <i>"There's no place like home."</i> line and tapping her heels 3 times to get back to Kansas. Would make a lot of sense with the <i>HOME </i>theme and all!<br /><br />OH! <i>NAKED FEELS</i>!! Have I actually ever heard it live yet so far....? I don't think so! Man, the feels. This was one of the songs I listened to so much when I first got into Nana and it also was the song that my dad totally got hooked on randomly even though he doesn't understand a word of it. Man, this is definitely such an appropriate song right now considering the emotional rollercoaster we've been on for a few years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table id="simple_table"><tbody><tr> <th>Japanese</th> <th>English</th></tr><tr> <td><span style="font-family: inherit;">ここから救い出して欲しいケド<br />踏み出す力が まだ足りないんだ <br />降り続いてる雨が上がったら<br /> </span>ボクのココロに虹がかかる?<br /><br />時間のループ途切れて欲しい想いと<br />届けられない言葉が二つに重なる</td> <td><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>From here on, I want to save you, but </i></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>I still lack the strength to step forward</i></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>When the continuous rain lets up</i></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>would a rainbow appear in my heart? </i> </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"> </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>The feelings of wanting to break this time loop</i> </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><i>and the words I haven't been able to convey overlap</i></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b><br />Time for the silent <i>Mawatte</i> -calls! Luckily, the Cheribos are pretending to be our voice and doing the call for us in a kind of creepy way tbh. xD Nana decides to do the <i>Mou ikkai </i>with Champ since it’s his first day of <i>LIVE HOME</i>! Champ, however, didn’t realize he had to mawatte with Nana so he didn’t do it… lol which made Nana explain the whole thing and then we got even a third mawatte so Champ could do it right this time! Nana then asks him how it is playing for her and he says there are many intense hard songs and everyone claps really hard and she was like wait is that something to celebrate?! Nana tells us how Champ and Kojiro thought attending <i>LIVE HOME</i> after doing<i> RUNNER</i> as well would be a piece of cake since they know so many songs already but the only same songs that turned up were <i>POWER GATE</i> and <i>ETERNAL BLAZE</i>!! Nana says it's because Team Mizuki always tries to change things up so that the same songs won't show up two lives in a row.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then it's time for the <i>"Nana's firsts"</i> corner! Yesterday was the first song Nana sang live to celebrate her finally coming to Ibaraki, and as a follow up of that today we will have…. Her first dance song!!! Which is....</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: #800180;">08. Through the Night </span>/ 09. ダブルシャッフル / 10. MARIA&JOKER</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man, I was pretty happy that I got to be here for the <i>"first dance song" </i>since I always seem to like her dance songs a lot. And yep, you guessed it - I quite like <i>Through the Night</i> too! I was surprised how much I liked the actual dance too since I'm not that big of a fan of the very early choreographies usually. Nana asks us <i>"how was that?"</i> after the song is over and tells us that before doing this dance back then the most she had basically been doing was waving her arm around lol. Hope Nana will include all the "firsts" on the live Bluray since I'd definitely like to see this again. :3</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />And then it's time for what I've dubbed the casino corner! I realized that the choice of songs and the <i>Persona 5</i>'ish Team Yo-Da showcase were all a homage to the <i>Persona 5</i> casino level. <i>Double Shuffle</i> definitely sounded way better in this venue than it had at Hyogo which made me super happy. It was such a treat to be watching her energetic dance from so close up tonight too! I honestly love it (even though I was still worried that she'd trip herself up or something). xD <br /><br />I only realized tonight the Joker connection to <i>Persona 5</i> of <i>MARIA&JOKER</i> too because I'm dumb. In any case, this segment all the way through to the following dance segment is probably my favorite in <i>LIVE HOME!</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>Team Yo-Da -showcase<br /></b></u></i>I realized also that I didn't really describe this <i>Persona 5</i>'esque movie that in detail in my first report so let me make amends now. Nana shows up in a Panther-like mask to steal a gem of some sort which is definitely a direct homage to her character's Panther codename and the treasure they have to steal from each palace. Nana even takes off the mask and her eyes flash yellow which is the eye color of your Shadow self. She walks toward the treasure and grabs it. They did a pretty cool trick in that when she reaches toward the camera to grab it, her arms actually reach out over the edge of the shot into the black bottom strip (if this makes any sense whatsoever ^^;;). </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i></i></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmJG_DmRZDIHPin4rdP4swLtKOMkCY5GZfF9kQ11JNDDC6tOoFg_kZXGkzREodZXdDQmoIbN4xYq6JCuTSpf6ChCK3m2J6VH7zPP3Weu9hcck2VqKyLQ-viejrkAEoaAbiXRv42B9LVM35drZGEb9hpS1sUenksjQaNUn2imul0_UGLADTlQ_7ryp/s1210/S__38567964.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="1210" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmJG_DmRZDIHPin4rdP4swLtKOMkCY5GZfF9kQ11JNDDC6tOoFg_kZXGkzREodZXdDQmoIbN4xYq6JCuTSpf6ChCK3m2J6VH7zPP3Weu9hcck2VqKyLQ-viejrkAEoaAbiXRv42B9LVM35drZGEb9hpS1sUenksjQaNUn2imul0_UGLADTlQ_7ryp/s320/S__38567964.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not sure what this was exactly, just spotted some dinos on the way!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><b><i><u><br /></u></i></b><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #3</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cat ears + red skirtish jeans combo</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>11.

I mean Nanallac rises to the stage on the other end of the stage, I can't help but wonder if this time it'll make it all the way over to our side unlike in Hyogo..... and it did! I kept wondering who the lady driving the car was, since she seemed pretty chill, if not a little awkward, jamming away in the car after Nana and Team Yo-Da got off mid stage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then... I kept my fingers crossed for <i>GUILTY</i>.... and there it was!!!! Honestly, best dance corner ever! <3 If she still added <i>Love Fight!</i> to this it'd be way too divine. Ehum. Anyway! It was so awesome to see <i>GUILTY</i> from so close up since it's been one of my ultimate favorites for so long, even if the kinda weird dance outfit didn't do it as much justice as <i>LIVE FLIGHT</i>'s smexy stewardess.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to say that I am now warming up to the <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i> dance as well, now that I could really view it so in detail. You have won me over once again, Nana.... damnit!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC3</u></i></b><br />Once we get to the MC, the car returns to stage with the driver still intact and Nana introduces her as the director for her lives, Kanako Azuma! Yesterday it was Team Yo-Da's Yoko-sensei who was on driving duty apparently. Nana says Kanako-san is probably the person who gets to look at her face the most, since she also edits all the live material together. Nana asks her what’s one of the things she keeps an eye out for during her work and Kanako-san replies Nana’s abs that sometimes flash from under her shirt when she raises her arm. :'DDD And Nana’s like you need to be careful of what exactly when it comes to her exposed stomach....? and Kanako-san replies unfazed that she needs to make sure she is focusing on the abs at the moment of exposure ofc and Nana's like <i>"eeeeh????" </i>(I love this lady x'D). Nana then tells us that Kanako-san hadn’t wanted to drive the Nanallac and told Nana to make Mishi-P do it instead, but Nana wouldn’t have any of that since he'd just steal the show. Then Kanako-san drives off into the sunset once again and we go to....</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14.

So the seiyuu Nana does this dub with changes! Tonight it was not Misato, but Jun Fukuyama who does it with her instead (haha the Joker/<i>Persona 5</i> homage continues, I love <i>LIVE HOME</i> xD). Haha, he was doing the dub for the mom and the dad and Nana was doing the rest! We even get a Joker joke in there lol sasuga. One of the two buff coworkers of the dad who came to attend the birthday party (both of whom were voiced by Nana) took on an imouto (little sister) persona this time. :'D Well, I have to admit that this is turning out to be more of a fun thing than I originally thought.... curious to see who pops up next!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Pbtl27WCQIHGPppUcjr1HOgv83QrwCEt0zcL8SbwKste7E4invxtDb6m6zQJe9MU7nbPXc91A-c51y1JXe76otfVD5x2jcup6fqQC6_tH64uDA4XcT3vRVU78DujJS2abGye6UxFMWOuuEnRPqHB4-4RlobDPWYqmmJJQ4q6k1Ef46hO9w-HrUTm/s1372/S__38567963.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1372" data-original-width="1108" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Pbtl27WCQIHGPppUcjr1HOgv83QrwCEt0zcL8SbwKste7E4invxtDb6m6zQJe9MU7nbPXc91A-c51y1JXe76otfVD5x2jcup6fqQC6_tH64uDA4XcT3vRVU78DujJS2abGye6UxFMWOuuEnRPqHB4-4RlobDPWYqmmJJQ4q6k1Ef46hO9w-HrUTm/s320/S__38567963.jpg" width="258" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lots of Girls und Panzer promo thanks to Oarai Girls' Academy.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Outfit #4</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Live shirts dress</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>15.

WHAT YOU WANT</span></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Still can't get over the logic of the sitcom being followed by <i>FIRE SCREAM </i>though... xDD But in any case, thus begins my other favorite segment of<i> LIVE HOME</i>! Oh! Was totally not expecting <i>WHAT YOU WANT</i> since that hadn't been in the rotation yet so far! We were blessed with Nana coming to visit us in our stage corner again during it and I have to say that I do appreciate her coming to tell me to<i> "Keep on chasing what you want"</i>. At the end of the song some explosions go off at the edge of the stage which scared the shit out of me since it was pretty much right in our face.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC4</i></u></b><br />Nana asks if we the explosion effects gave us a scare (how'd she know :x). She goes into explaining the family home comedy concept in detail. She wanted to do something similar to those shows that included a laugh track like <i>Full House</i> etc. Aaaand it’s dubbed since she is a seiyuu after all. Tonight it was her and Jun Fukuyama while Hyogo was Misato. She mentions how Fukuyama was doing the mom and dad and she the other characters tonight. Nana also then comments that the people who attended yesterday too might have noticed that yes the roles switched for tonight! Yesterday Nana did the mom and dad! She tells us to look forward to who shows up from now on. The recording is done for Saitama Super Arena already and the recording for the venue after is with ○○-san this week and she really wants to say who it is but can’t. Since she spent quite a while talking about the insert movie, she just quickly mentions how the next song encompasses her feelings from the past couple of years and then we go to...</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>17. MY ENTERTAINMENT / 18. 禁断のレジスタンス / 19. ETERNAL BLAZE</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man, I really can't get enough of <i>MY ENTERTAINMENT</i>. I was kind of in a trance listening to it and ended up kinda wondering if I was crying or if it was just sweat pouring down my face (think it was the latter since it was kinda hot inside the venue). I also got a rogue thought of how I wouldn't mind getting Covid doing something I love like I am now.. which was bleh, because I mean, I'd rather not get it and I -am- still taking all the precautions, even if I am allowing myself to enjoy the things that bring me joy like being here tonight. I just really missed this, is all. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Happy to have <i>Kindan no Resistance</i> stay in the rotation tonight! And this time <i>ETERNAL BLAZE</i> went without a hitch too! I tried to keep an ear out to if Nana seemed a bit fatigued or not, but she seemed to be okay. Partly it could be because the stage is quite small and she doesn't really need to do any running to get from one end to the other on time. Guess I'll still keep an ear out at Saitama. Either way, I really hope she's totally fine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><div><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u>MC5<br /></u></b></i>Then it's time for the last song… The Cheribos did <i>"ehhh???"</i> in our stead and Nana says three hours somehow go by so fast that she wants to do a 7 hour long live sometime... but she is sure that we’d still be all<i> "ehhh?? Already??"</i> even at the end of that. She then once again remarks that yappari live is better than online like she did at Hyogo. Nana says that she hopes that next time she comes to Ibaraki we will already be back to having lives the way we used to and can do all the calls again. She asks us to please sing with her… in our hearts that is!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>20. 全力DREAMER</u></b><br />Not much to add here than that I still think this was a really good finisher.

It was pretty soothing to be honest... though it made me kind of wistful to think that our time on these amazing seats was coming to an end really soon.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And then, it's time for the actual last song. Nana laments again that the hours really just go by too fast.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">24.

Still, happy we came!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the song and the Cheribo & Team Yo-Da thank yous, Nana still ran around to say goodbye to everyone and when she came over to our end of the stage me and my husband did a heart with our hands together and she hearted us back twice - first with a small heart with her hands and then a big one with her whole arms! Thank you..... (T^T) though Ironically, I didn't see this very well due to the dude in front of me blocking my view at that moment, so my husband told me this happened.

New Sensation / 02. POWER GATE / 03. Go Live!<br /></b></u>Definitely not the opener I was expecting! This felt way more like an encore line up than an opening act, so it didn't really fire me up for what was to come after, but considering the outfit she was wearing I'd have been pretty disappointed if <i>POWER GATE</i> hadn't shown up here considering that the whole music clip for that is kinda cowboy inspired as well.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, <i>Go Live! </i>hasn't grown on me much yet and is maybe the weakest song in the new album for me (I will gladly accept any reasons for liking it more if any of you have some please share!) and while I had hoped hearing it live would change my mind as has happened with so many songs before, it still left me kind of lukewarm, which was a big bummer considering it finished off this opener set before the first MC.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><u><b>MC1<br /></b></u></i>Nana welcomes us to <i>LIVE HOME</i>! It's been three years since last tour! She also mentions how many days it had been exactly, but my tired brain forgot the number almost instantly.... sorry. ^^; The starting location for<i> LIVE EXPRESS (</i>the previous tour) was also here in this very same venue in Hyogo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She asks if we were all like <i>"oh is it encore time?"</i> since we got typical encore songs as the opener set. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>04. Justice to Believe / 05. スパイラル<br /></b></u>Waves of nostalgia hit me when the opening melody for <i>Justice to Believe</i> started and it kind of felt like I even got transported back to a time when the world was kind of normal and this was what my life was - even though I had always been grateful to be able to attend lives as much as I did, I had definitely taken all of that for granted to some extend back then. Aaand just as my thoughts were spiraling down that hole we got <i>Spiral</i> as well off the new album! Really great song to be hearing live!</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /><b><i><u>Cherry Boys -showcase</u></i></b><br />This somehow went by so fast again like how I felt it did during <i>LIVE RUNNER</i> too.... maybe my sense of time has just gotten out of whack in the past few years? Ryutan went around asking everyone <i>"this or that?" </i>questions, most of which I didn't quite catch but the few I did were him asking Itaruvich <i>"Kobe beef or Omi beef?" </i>to which Itaruvich replied 「にくいね」(=<i> "nikui ne" </i>which is a fun pun since it means <i>"that's difficult (to answer)"</i> but in Japanese "niku" also means "meat"). Then, Sho-chan (I think) was asked <i>"Rakuten or Amazon?" </i>and replied <i>"Yodobashi" </i>I believe. And then Yutapon was asked <i>"Apple or Windows?" </i>and replied <i>"Nintendo"</i>.... xDDD </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4lZY3fYloDphCgtNkZOdM2M9JH4HPEEKVYx7zfkJsoRcqBKKUlGxwqPi4P0t4HUkABVYxSJnUWR1xXHOT-rNap65fFpyhYl9PQfqXrRCLzPYI-sHG7LmYd021aojiaTqPvog2TzPz4OBYlli5Xd7uUqu2tue__WntbXczuumn_cGvDoLsnXa9D-d_/s1434/S__38420540.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1108" data-original-width="1434" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4lZY3fYloDphCgtNkZOdM2M9JH4HPEEKVYx7zfkJsoRcqBKKUlGxwqPi4P0t4HUkABVYxSJnUWR1xXHOT-rNap65fFpyhYl9PQfqXrRCLzPYI-sHG7LmYd021aojiaTqPvog2TzPz4OBYlli5Xd7uUqu2tue__WntbXczuumn_cGvDoLsnXa9D-d_/s320/S__38420540.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kinda Nana related!

HOLY TALE / 07. ダーリングプラスティック</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, <i>HOLY TALE</i>! My husband will be pleased once we go together to the next one since it's one of his favorites from the new album. :3 And honestly it was a pretty great song to listen to live! Also, I dunno if they're somehow trying to compensate for the no calls rule and whatnot by finding other ways to entertain us, but the background videos they keep playing during songs on the big screen wall at the back of the stage are super distracting somehow. xD Also how long has it been since I heard <i>Darling Plastic</i>?? Not really one of my favorites, but my husband will be pleased to hear that too I am sure, if the rotation favors him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b><br /><i>Mawatte</i> -calls! Well... not calls, but Nana asking us if we want her to mawatte and us waving our penlights around in reply. xD The new keyboardist got the honors of mawatte'ing with her for the <i>mou ikkai</i>. Nana talks with him a bit after. They first collaborated in <i>Hibari 7 Days</i> apparently! He’s actually from Hyogo and then went to Tokyo for Todai, so Nana comments that he must be very smart. He then mentions that actually music was his dream and he only went to Todai because his parents wouldn’t have forgiven him otherwise, so honestly it was all so they would be satisfied and he could pursue music like he wanted. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The special corner for the tour is introduced! Nana actually wanted to do it in live runner, but that was cancelled so she took the opportunity to do it this time for <i>LIVE HOME</i>. The special corner is <i>“Nana’s firsts”</i> and tonight we get <i>“Nana’s first anime op song”</i> ! Which is of course....</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>08. アノネ~まみむめ☆もがちょ~ / 09. ダブルシャッフル / 10.

We might not be able to do calls again yet because of Covid, but at least for <i>Ano ne~mamimume☆mogacho~</i> we can dance along! After finishing Nana asked who watched the anime and tells us to look forward to all the other firsts that will show up during the tour for this corner.<br /><br />Then it's time for <i>Double Shuffle</i>! This is definitely one of my favorite songs from the new album, but the acoustics in this venue didn't seem to do it much justice. Hopefully the next one will! Also, while I knew it was a really fast song (I've been singing it in karaoke and all) it only really hit me how fast now when seeing Nana sing it in person. She was dancing around energetically during it too and a part of me was afraid she might stumble or something. Luckily, she did not. Oh. My. God!! <i>MARIA&JOKER</i>!! Such a perfect follow up to <i>Double Shuffle</i>! This used to be one of my top favorites, since my bestie from university times is called Maria and my username for the university system was JOKR1, kinda making me the joker (I might have mentioned this on my blog before, so sorry if it's an old yarn!). xD So really happy to hear it tonight!</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Team Yo-da -showcase</u></i></b><br />Okay at first I was pretty confused as to what was going on because this started as an insert movie of Nana doing a Persona 5 like heist?? To very Persona-like music? Also dressed very Persona 5?? Oh man!! So awesome! It lasted pretty long before the Team Yo-da intros began. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv63-_VqTen98M-nGY3fIVXnhdrq0U_Q-Sz49XSN679TPChtS0KZQDWBE5iCkgVO8RF-p32ZgsQ-h_2fKxU4SBxbPK_KgqJnCBW61zk4jiKiEvsogLdkFpQeA7BwastfMU3HuxLokRlRpvQDunCWqY3VPIUnz7nOH17IrVXQ_roxS6NZKZsh_g4rpj/s1478/S__38420531.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1478" data-original-width="1108" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv63-_VqTen98M-nGY3fIVXnhdrq0U_Q-Sz49XSN679TPChtS0KZQDWBE5iCkgVO8RF-p32ZgsQ-h_2fKxU4SBxbPK_KgqJnCBW61zk4jiKiEvsogLdkFpQeA7BwastfMU3HuxLokRlRpvQDunCWqY3VPIUnz7nOH17IrVXQ_roxS6NZKZsh_g4rpj/s320/S__38420531.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kakashi-sensei and Ramen Ichiraku!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #3</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cat ears + red skirtish jeans combo</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>11. Reboot! / 12. Dancing in the velvet moon / 13. DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had been quite certain that the dance song from the new album would be <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i>, but instead we get <i>Reboot!</i>? While <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i> might be my favorite song from the album since I am really digging the latin pop vibe of it (big fan of Shakira too), I do really like <i>Reboot! </i>as well so I wouldn't really say I was disappointed to get that instead though! Nana and Team Yo-Da showed up on stage left in a Cadillac and drove down to the middle of the stage during the song and then got off. It had a really fun girls road trip feel to it. <br /><br />Then suddenly... <i>Dancing in the velvet moon</i>! I got a major déjà vu to <i>LIVE CASTLE</i> where we got it with Nana wearing bunny ears since today, she had cat ears on. When I had already given up on getting to hear it.... <i>DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-</i>!! Not yet sold on the dance but damn the song itself sounds amazing live. I am satisfied, this is all I wanted from <i>LIVE HOME</i>, haha. What's with me and my obsession with all the dance songs specifically?!</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC3</u></i></b><br />Nana talks about the car of course. It is this time’s norimono! It was supposed to be driven from one end of the stage to the other, but the engine stalled and they only made it to the middle. She reassures that it will make a full recovery for the second night in Hyogo. It’s a Cadillac (but due to copyright reasons it’s not, so Nana only calls it a *cough*llac). She picked it with the <i>home</i> theme in mind. It’s name is Nanallac, which I guess also nicely sounds quite close to Nanaluck. xD</p><p style="text-align: justify;">She talks at length about all her recent tv appearances, though I don't remember that segment in detail - sorry! Then it's time for the first and only ballad of the evening. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14. Stand by you</u></b><br />So fitting for tonight! Makes me kind of wonder if Nana had <i>Final Fantasy XV</i> here as a bit of an inspiration considering the road trip vibes and that having <i>Stand By Me</i> as part of the soundtrack? Anyways, once again a fitting song considering the times we live in. Honestly, all of <i>DELIGHTED REVIVER</i> is like that isn't it. This definitely worked like a proper soul cleanser tonight. <3</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>Family Sitcom -insert movie</i></u></b><br />Well.. uhhh dunno how I feel about this tbh. x'D It was a weirdly long sitcom of a Caucasian family where the mom and son were arranging a surprise bday party for the dad and all the people were dubbed in Japanese by Nana and Misato. It is kinda interesting how many foreigners have been popping up in Nana's stuff in the recent years and while it is nice in one way, it is also kinda weird in another. At least there was a Sailor Moon joke in this so that I can appreciate (Nana saying <i>"in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"</i>)! By the end of the thing, the bday cake was on fire and everyone was screaming, leading us into (lol)......</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTFDlO5sMmAftIt04o_gpQVVmxCFv9SM9IrbkIu6Owos3URoIOnVmHWVaNwkMbdd_zDHpkiGSIQb6ClXf0nK7XdW338G7nekpYGvxU-Qn7q1Gjq_q31j0aFdxeFfEIqQggRcg01bRvgBKNRzdBhSx4WK0at5sjfcphjW6z7Es66POb1fYLMMqsfRts/s1478/S__38420535.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1478" data-original-width="1108" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTFDlO5sMmAftIt04o_gpQVVmxCFv9SM9IrbkIu6Owos3URoIOnVmHWVaNwkMbdd_zDHpkiGSIQb6ClXf0nK7XdW338G7nekpYGvxU-Qn7q1Gjq_q31j0aFdxeFfEIqQggRcg01bRvgBKNRzdBhSx4WK0at5sjfcphjW6z7Es66POb1fYLMMqsfRts/s320/S__38420535.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Take a deep breath and balance that chakra.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></p><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Outfit #4</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Live shirts dress</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>15. FIRE SCREAM / 16. UNLIMITED BEAT</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally <i>FIRE SCREAM</i> live!! The urge to do all the calls in that song was great, but impressively enough everyone behaved and kept their mouths shut. I honestly consider myself pretty lucky to be stuck in Japan during the pandemic due to everyone being willing to mask up and follow rules to this extend. Concerts that have resumed in other places definitely do not seem to be following any kinds of safety guidelines like this from what I've heard. Oh and then even <i>UNLIMITED BEAT</i>! Nana really is testing us if we can stay quiet through all these songs isn't she. (T^T) I'd say it's almost torture if I just didn't simply love these songs too much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC4</i></u></b><br />Nana’s current outfit is made of bits and pieces of live shirts! Even the hair ornaments are strips from various live shirts (but she swung her head so much during the segment just now that some fell off, woops). The outfit is heavily featuring the Ibaraki shirt from <i>LIVE HOME</i>, since finally once she goes there on this tour she’s conquered all 47 prefectures!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">(This is when I realized that I had been dumb and forgot that Ibaraki would have been a special venue to attend this time around thanks to this milestone! I felt kinda bummed that I hadn't bothered to apply for those tickets so I looked if there were any still available in general sale later... and there was?! So guess who is going to Ibaraki this weekend.... ^^;;)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana then talks about the sitcom. As part of the home theme she went for a home comedy. Her and Misato did all the voices for it and they included some very old neta from smile-gang so she wondered if there were any folks who managed to catch it. It also featured Misato’s protein song! And yep, it was linked to <i>FIRE SCREAM</i> with the cake that was on fire and people wanting to scream. x'D</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana tells us the next song encompasses all her feelings from the time past two years and she asks us to accept these feelings that she'll throw at us.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>17. MY ENTERTAINMENT / 18. 禁断のレジスタンス / 19. ETERNAL BLAZE</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another one of my favorite songs from the album! Really nice to know it's a really important one for Nana as well. It really does fit well considering everything we've been through these past few years and it really does hit me pretty hard with stuff like:</div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table id="simple_table"><tbody><tr> <th>Japanese</th> <th>English</th></tr><tr> <td><span style="font-family: inherit;">奏でよう 想いを歌にして <br />この声が君にとって <br />明日を生きる理由に なるなら<br /> 誰もひとりぼっちにならないように</span></td> <td><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">Let's make music, put our feelings into song </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">If this voice will be </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">a reason for you to live tomorrow </blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;">so that no one will be left alone on their own</blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, <i>Kindan no Resistance</i>!! Feels forever since I've heard it somehow, even though it used to be my karaoke warmup song for a very long time. Needless to say I really enjoyed hearing it tonight. :3<br /><br />And then, of course <i>ETERNAL BLAZE</i>! In the latter half of the song, there seemed to be some kind of fumble as typically Nana's pronunciation of words is super clear and suddenly it was like she was mumbling? It seemed like it was because she was about to launch into the wrong lyrics and then resorted to mumbling instead, but it was weird since typically she catches and corrects these kind of things in the blink of an eye but this time it took her a while to catch back onto the correct lyrics. In general too, something felt a bit off in this corner and I am still not quite sure whether the acoustics in the venue really were a bad fit for more intense and powerful songs like this or if Nana was having a bit of a hard time as a result of having Covid a while back. If it's the latter, I sure am grateful that she can still be her usual self to like 95% capacity and we did not lose her wonderful gifts to this asshole pandemic.</div><div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u>MC5<br /></u></b></i>Nana tells us it's time for the last song. She tells us that doing lives in person is definitely the best, since she can everyone react to her. You just don’t get that when doing online evens, this kind of feeling of playing catch with each other's hearts (心のキャッチボール). The next song encompasses her feelings about continuing to create this atmosphere together.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>20. 全力DREAMER</u></b><br />This definitely was a fitting choice for the closing song!! Honestly I feel like this is such a fitting song for Nana in general too (yeah I know she wrote the lyrics herself so ofc, but still, I just wanted to say that xD)! <br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u>Enc</u></b></i><i><b><u>ore!</u></b></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><u><br /></u></b></i></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtcX3a_S7KUC6znbif-tH57_lce7LzozgY5jTd6ALvA0CRLsZtIf3GoP-hT7aicWsQBYx3qoMYEVzNd7wAQLDiReluTGPOFiQf2dTa9_AzHi1BG8dc4A8ZbS4wXIWucwJ8q3lp-yQzq_Iiv5aASXBU74plTocWNsR-oq6TzZUTcwCAGOWEOTPt98cC/s1478/S__38420538.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1478" data-original-width="1108" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtcX3a_S7KUC6znbif-tH57_lce7LzozgY5jTd6ALvA0CRLsZtIf3GoP-hT7aicWsQBYx3qoMYEVzNd7wAQLDiReluTGPOFiQf2dTa9_AzHi1BG8dc4A8ZbS4wXIWucwJ8q3lp-yQzq_Iiv5aASXBU74plTocWNsR-oq6TzZUTcwCAGOWEOTPt98cC/s320/S__38420538.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Next time I will zipline in Godzilla's mouth for sure!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #5</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Green skirt and Nanette shirt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>21. レイジーシンドローム / 22. RODEO COWGIRL<br /></b></u>Ohhh! Was not expecting to get to hear <i>Lazy Syndrome</i>! Though the moment it started up, I did realize that it was fitting considering with the lack of things to do during the pandemic we are all feeling the lazy syndrome aren't we. Nana was going around on a platform that looked a bit like a tree house from something like <i>Winnie The Pooh</i>, with a little Nanette sitting on a swing under the platform bit she was standing on. We had seats really close to the edge of the stand at the opposite end of the hall, so we had hoped she'd come right by us, but she trolled us hard and turned to go across to the other side amidst some of the arena blocks. orz Next up <i>RODEO COWGIRL</i>! Not one of my favorites, but pretty expectable considering the cowboy/ranch theme of <i>LIVE HOME</i>.</div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>MC6</u></i></b><br />Nana thanks us for calling her back for encore (well not really calling... but anyways)! <i>Shaaaaaassu</i>! Cherry boys doing low and high voices to emulate guys and girls. Nana hopes that the day will come again soon when we can all do this call again like we used to. She then talks about smile-gang as usual. Maybe eventually it can become a during the day radio show instead of a night time one (someone else also managed to do that recently I think, but don’t remember the name she mentioned). </p><p style="text-align: justify;">She then says she spotted Fujino-san in the audience when she went around and got so surprised, but he is a member of the FC sooooo it shouldn't be that surprising actually she adds! The stage lights shine on Fujino-san here and he waves! She says she wants to do a <i>LIVE GRACE IV</i> and that she is sorry in advance for all the crazy new songs with sudden changing pitches and fast tempo and whatnot. Even the Cherry Boys were like ahhh during rehearsals apparently. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="ja">水樹奈々さん「LIVE HOME」。初日公演には、オーケストラライブ「LIVE GRACE」シリーズで指揮をされている藤野浩一さんが来て下さり、翌日には音楽家ならではの視点とファン目線両方からの、とても励みになる内容のメッセージを頂きました。今後の公演に向けて、本当に貴重かつ嬉しい出来事でした😊。 <a href="https://t.co/nKeQIF4D59">pic.twitter.com/nKeQIF4D59</a></p>— 渡辺格 (@Erital) <a href="https://twitter.com/Erital/status/1549594855437139968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 20, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><p style="text-align: justify;">(↑ The gang with Fujino-san after tonight, courtesy of Itaruvich's Twitter) <br />Nana then says the next song is one that shares the name with the tour of course - <i>HOME</i>!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>23. HOME</u></b><br />Honestly would have been the biggest troll if this song hadn't shown up tonight. xD It's not really my type of song in general, but it is definitely a good addition to the list of possible encore songs! And this, if any song on <i>DELIGHTED REVIVER</i>, is the most fitting for the current circumstances. Listening to this now here tonight really made me appreciate the sentiment of us being here like this touring with Nana is really like us finally being "home".</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Then it's time for the actual last song. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><u><b>24.

We've gone full circle tonight folks by starting with typical encore songs and then ending with an opener. xD Not that I mind at all! </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">After, Nana goes around to greet everyone and then tries to throw the streamers that fell on the middle stage down to the fans, but fails. D'awww! She’s like <i>"I wanted to give these to you guys but no go! I’ll get someone to do it!"</i> (And then they were actually handing them out at the exits later, which was so nice! Wish they'd do that every time! )</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nana says that we are now little by little heading towards a better time and asks people to take care of themselves and be careful till we get there.<br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxTVmjb7UhvUVUmRgcUPuxmvbR3T_axqRRQF61eyhew9W_eK6qqC7w2rUoyPPy71L9F_5ahgR2U3wnWEnzdVbPzaQrYr_jWrhY8UF5Se3gLHZfI3R4X_lUFkC5FLK_rrkCs4p1gwkluz1DseBgrLCjoGatMkZk_PXzN0ayB6QEKOteArlqPXLWaRn/s744/S__38420570.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="744" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxTVmjb7UhvUVUmRgcUPuxmvbR3T_axqRRQF61eyhew9W_eK6qqC7w2rUoyPPy71L9F_5ahgR2U3wnWEnzdVbPzaQrYr_jWrhY8UF5Se3gLHZfI3R4X_lUFkC5FLK_rrkCs4p1gwkluz1DseBgrLCjoGatMkZk_PXzN0ayB6QEKOteArlqPXLWaRn/s320/S__38420570.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thanks for the memories, Kobe! <3</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">And that's all for my Hyogo tripping folks!

I'm really digging the different vibe compared to Nana's usual repertoire and always find myself captivated when she tries something new. She also asked folks to pay attention to the lyrics in her <a href="https://twitter.com/SpotifyJP/status/1511504561252765698?s=20&t=YbAJqAbOFzK_IOCn1VRkBw" target="_blank">short message video to Spotify</a> which I did and then couldn't help but jump head first into a translation when I had a bit of down time. Hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">QC was done by my bestie Chinatsu again, who also did the honors for <i>Love Fight!</i> previously.<br /><br />On a random note, I kinda got interested in the term <b>double shuffle</b>, since Nana mentioned that it has the meaning <i>"to betray"</i> and also <i>"to bluff that you shuffled in a card game, when you actually did not"</i>, but couldn't really find much on it in Japanese and nothing really in English (apart from a dance, drumming and some shady business in Canadian politics). But! I did find this list of <a href="https://geniimagazine.com/wiki/index.php?title=Full-deck_false_shuffle" target="_blank">false shuffles</a> and I ended up watching some YouTube tutorials for some like the Zarrow Shuffle... maybe in case my game dev career hits a wall I can become a magician next. xD<br /><br />Anyway, I have rambled on about random things long enough... let's get down to translation business!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Btw... I'm still working on カルペディエム (<i>Carpe diem</i>) as well, which came first on my translation Twitter poll a while back, but it's been a bit tricky to get it to feel right so give me some more time with that one! 🙇</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/2fP2NoqPvzIVyAgSa1gIqJ?utm_source=generator" style="border-radius: 12px;" width="100%"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><b><u>ダブルシャッフル (Translation)</u></b><br /><b>作詞:しほり <br />作曲:サカノウエヨースケ <br />編曲:渡辺徹×日比野裕史</b></p><div><br /></div>

Once here though, I felt way more comfortable about it all than I thought. The venue was only filled to 50% capacity with empty seats beside and in front/back of your seat, masks were mandated and no calls were allowed - just claps. Even towel waving was forbidden. I did not feel like I was taking any reckless risks and that made me feel pretty relieved.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgg7koJw20GXpVbNUeSLzdmtRgUClFF3LEYONfs5H4JVs4_FBHTunFjl75YZXu691QBCKGwsdQxO4ik1G_CaD9wBC-D2PK5tLr70F5rmmc0WTZ7_MKTL-YTvW3IqNuiK71wFO5TNK_wMkfm22rsg9WXXWAHhAWdCSm1G7g014TEKOrLBiauAmlKPgz5=s320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My seat!</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Without further ado, let's fucking goooooo!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>SET LIST:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">01.

Synchrogazer / 02. DAYBREAKERS / 03. ETERNAL BLAZE</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh man, Nana brought out the big guns right from the get go didn’t she?! The moment I heard <i>Synchrogazer</i> start up I could feel so much of my pandemic weariness dissipating and my spirits lifting. It was like everything was okay again (even though it’s not, but it was nice to forget about everything for a few hours). I think Nana was feeling a lot of it herself too, because when she said <i>"I'm back!"</i> it was pretty obvious that her voice was faltering a little bit. Guess we've all been waiting for this very moment for what feels like an eternity, huh?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Took a moment for my brain to register that the next song was <i>DAYBREAKERS</i>, but when it dawned on me I realized it was a good pick for the opener set since well we've all been waiting for so long for daybreak, right?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then getting <i>ETERNAL BLAZE </i>so early into the night too was a surprise, but after thinking about it for a sec it really makes sense. Everyone (Nana included I am sure) must have been so starved for a live for the past couple of years that giving us the song everyone was waiting for so soon was like delivering a mercy blow. xD</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC1</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to <i>LIVE RUNNER 2020→2022</i>! Finally! A live again after 841 days (looks like Nana was counting)! Of course there has been the online <i>NANA ACOUSTIC LIVE</i> and the online <i>Fan Club Event VIII</i>, but it's not the same without everyone there - Nana says she's wanted to see everyone again for so long. She talks a bit about the <i>LIVE RUNNER</i> penlight, which comes with 3 call functions (<i>hai!</i>, <i>fuu!</i> and <i>shassu!</i>) and encourages people to use it when they feel like it. Though apparently the Cherry Boys tested it out and made the observation that there's a slight lag (was it 0.8 secs or something?) from when you press the button to when the call actually plays so it's kinda difficult to time it as intended.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nana warns us that tonight is going to be intense, because there are pretty much no ballads or slow songs whatsoever (except, maybe 1), so everyone better be ready.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And here we gooooooo….</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg_PiufAony6ETJ56FQE7TAFPvxxctmxlbxXAWVIfNQXAX1chLgNRhdiRc_NA9I9N7wQOytz1lSyO-nxn2_fCNTVpHobKE001vrxqvCFUx5AI_5F9QcHUF3JZE_-0Vq-08ErolEqXMLf6w9wdVzSle9993pyRzo4aWsgJiqHEp2Hq3pE_PKOpFaeMy3=s610"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg_PiufAony6ETJ56FQE7TAFPvxxctmxlbxXAWVIfNQXAX1chLgNRhdiRc_NA9I9N7wQOytz1lSyO-nxn2_fCNTVpHobKE001vrxqvCFUx5AI_5F9QcHUF3JZE_-0Vq-08ErolEqXMLf6w9wdVzSle9993pyRzo4aWsgJiqHEp2Hq3pE_PKOpFaeMy3=s320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>04. Glitch / 05. Mysterion</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Yeeeessss!!</i> The intense starter set continues! One of my best friends got into Nana's music during the pandemic (this was her first Nana live) and the one song she really wanted to hear was <i>glitch</i>, so I was really happy for her that it popped up! And….. also happy for myself because I really love this song too. And holy hell is it great live!! Could just feel the power of Nana’s voice sweep over me. And then even <i>Mysterion</i>?! Wasn’t expecting it so I got pretty stoked!! <i>Hisashiiiburi</i>! How long has it been since I heard it? Still as badass as ever...ahh, my mending heart.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>Cherry Boys -showcase</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While it proceeded pretty much like it usually would, somehow it felt shorter than I remember? Kinda wonder if they sped through it a little bit so that people wouldn't start getting the itch to call out every Cherry Boy's name too... it was actually so fast that I didn't really have a chance to catch any of the small exchanges between the members, except for a few yoroshikus. Anyways, there were a couple of fresher faces today - Champ and Kojiro!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #2</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgs8XR7pyb0xqZ2cP-cp9giTKZDl1IwwTRzTCmt5EJcygnVMYprFWtkq2_yhGthGKNOFFln-I6Al6nkbE-JVjkhYPKp6SpRtgSEf2i8r6CJJDANl-pxzVt-G-eT7tZZxfq8jP0EPrSUhHIVkXisPmGw03hNRRVcSmRRt0Xb3emN29ArXUIvz5Z3_pqZ=s800"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgs8XR7pyb0xqZ2cP-cp9giTKZDl1IwwTRzTCmt5EJcygnVMYprFWtkq2_yhGthGKNOFFln-I6Al6nkbE-JVjkhYPKp6SpRtgSEf2i8r6CJJDANl-pxzVt-G-eT7tZZxfq8jP0EPrSUhHIVkXisPmGw03hNRRVcSmRRt0Xb3emN29ArXUIvz5Z3_pqZ=s320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>06. Knock U down / 07. SUPER☆MAN / 08. Light Births Shadow</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was expecting to hear <i>Knock U down</i> tonight! It’s definitely one of those songs, which while fun to begin with, gets even more fun when you hear it live! Can’t wait for it to be okay to do calls again though, since it seems like a song that would have fun calls :3!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When <i>SUPER☆MAN</i> started, I got a bit confused…. was this the dance corner? Shouldn’t it be one section later after the Team Yo-Da intro? Will I not get my <i>Love Fight!</i> tonight?? So many questions! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>22/01/24 edit:</b> it was brought to my attention by RoseSeus10 in the comments <i>-thanks!-</i> that <i>SUPER☆MAN</i> might have been part of the setlist tonight as a tribute to it being roughly a year since Kei-tan crossed the rainbow bridge (as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU-Pw5Fu3YE">he featured in the PV</a>) and I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the case! Losing a dear furry companion hits <i>very</i> hard and it's always been obvious that Kei-tan meant the world to Nana.

Of course Nana obliges and even gives us a <i>mou ikkai</i> of just her rather than asking any Cherry Boys to join her like she’s typically been doing for years now. Nana talks briefly about <i>Fan Club Event VIII</i>, which she held over live stream from Saitama Super Arena during the pandemic and how she had an exhibition of all her live outfits and when they asked the fans what outfits they liked best, her cute outfits were ranked pretty high, so she realized fans still want to see that kind of thing regardless of her age. As long as we’ll have her, Nana will keep wearing cute outfits for many many years more to come!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nana also told us about a dream she had just before the live, in which she was asked to change to the next outfit on stage and her staff was telling her it’s okay, but Nana herself was thinking “no it’s not!!” and then the dream continued with how she’d be executed if she got the lyrics wrong while singing.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>09. Hana, Hoshi, Sora -reunion- / 10. suddenly ~Meguriaete~</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For some reason I never much listened to the original <i>Hana, Hoshi, Sora</i> that released way back when, and it’s a shame because I really like this <i>–reunion-</i> version! I missed out on like what 10 years of listening to it… sniff… guess I gotta make up for it now by listening to it a lot.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then it's time for a classic! I have to say I never get tired of hearing<i> suddenly ~Meguriaete~</i> live even if it's not something I listen to a -lot- otherwise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Live History - movie</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now even more confused… are we not… getting Team Yo-Da intro at all..? I didn’t have too much time to ponder on this since watching the live history compilation video was so endearing as it reminded me of a happier time when the world wasn’t on fire and made me feel so much regret that we couldn’t celebrate 20 years of Nana when it was time. At first, there was a countdown from 2020 all the way to 2001 with footage from all the lives along the way, then we got a short clip from <i>X’mas LIVE “supersonic girl”</i> followed by another compilation of all lives and their logos, this time counting up, first to the Tokyo Dome announcement during <i>LIVE JOURNEY</i>, and then from there to the most recent one, finishing on a clip of Nana singing <i>Omoi </i>while playing the piano from <i>Fan Club Event VIII</i> and a clip from the rehearsal of <i>LIVE RUNNER</i>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #3</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCO1VxOY64Bkgr1BR6P6nBBmZWUi2GFY2W0EBpaR0DOuKi2vhVm2hJLrqrwSCCuQqy-9OXvH52nDqCG_GGyhPaTNH1HyJpPn-KGPXCFYwAlQlPIe_oXqtgJRCk0sTg55um4ASmzTcYl2730FzRz8GexI2TEWmdIzUoP7f_KSVjgoW1GSupEjsgScAr=s1201"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgCO1VxOY64Bkgr1BR6P6nBBmZWUi2GFY2W0EBpaR0DOuKi2vhVm2hJLrqrwSCCuQqy-9OXvH52nDqCG_GGyhPaTNH1HyJpPn-KGPXCFYwAlQlPIe_oXqtgJRCk0sTg55um4ASmzTcYl2730FzRz8GexI2TEWmdIzUoP7f_KSVjgoW1GSupEjsgScAr=s320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>11.

And when I checked what it was afterwards, it had indeed been my favorite from the <i>Get Up! Shout!</i> single.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had given up all hope of a dance corner when…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Team Yo-Da –showcase</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh! Very random timing, but I'll take it! I felt that the Cherry Boy intro was dealt with fast, but man that was nothing compared to this! The Team Yo-Da intro was literally over before I even had a chance to blink and then Nana was back.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>12.

She’s really making me beg for my <i>Love Fight!</i> isn’t she… D: Regardless, I was really pumped up to hear <i>Inside of mind</i> too since it was one of my very early favorites.

So I feel like I totally missed the dance even though I was looking forward to it so much… <i>whyyyyy?!</i> (T^T) glad I still have the stream for the 2nd day to look forward to. Gotta make sure I pay attention then (<b>disclaimer:</b> I did and man this choreography rocks)!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><i>MC3</i></u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nana of course talks about the<i> Live History</i> - movie. Nana mentions how <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfp4OnWgFqU" target="_blank">the clip from <i>X’mas LIVE “supersonic girl”</i></a><i> </i>was uploaded to her YouTube some time back, since one of her staff had recorded it even though the live itself hadn’t been recorded officially. She reminisces about how back then she didn't have anyone to make her outfits so she and Mishi-P went shopping in Harajuku. Nana then mentions how her first album, <i>supersonic girl</i>, is getting a vinyl release!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then it’s time to talk to the Cherry Boys! Champ the keyboardist and Kojiro on guitar were supposed to make their Nana live debut on <i>LIVE RUNNER 2020</i>, but they never got a chance then, since it was all cancelled. So finally, they are here making their first to live audience debut with Nana! Nana also bugs Kenny who is as tight lipped as usual and just reminds everyone that he is number one. Think there was one or two more conversations, but this is as far as my memory had capacity for, sorry! :<</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>14.

More classics! <i>The Place of Happiness</i> has never been one of my favorites, but tonight I really appreciated having this song here - I feel like it was really fitting considering the times we are living in.

Laughed out loud accidently about how she’s been doing so many ninjas with mystical eye powers. xD Also stuff like her Precure role got pixelated due to copyright shenanigans I guess lol.

While with the absence of calls it’s been kinda weird with the overbearing silence and whatnot, it is songs like this that manage to bring the energy up with or without calls for sure! And oh man, the different colored mini fireworks that were flaring up on stage were so epic!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aaahhh, and this was followed by one of my top favorites from <i>CANNONBALL RUNNING</i>, <i>Carpe diem</i>!! Think I actually kinda did a small jump of excitement when it started. xD and oh man Nana is in super kakkoii mode in this section for sure, really loving the ninja inspired outfit too and the hakama pants just look so good on her.

She wanted to do something to commemorate her seiyuu career as well, so she asked the AC-bu guys to do this for her. It was originally supposed to be shown during the <i>LIVE RUNNER 2020</i> tour and there were some variation to it per venue, but now… yeah, just this one of course. Nana says Mishi-P looks just like himself in it... xD hehe well maybe not quite. She then also talks about <i>Shaman King</i> and how it's been so nice to be doing a song for it again. Nana then warns us that things will just get more intense from here, so hopefully everyone is ready!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>17. Get Up! Shout! / 18. Tears' Night / 19. FINAL COMMANDER</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wasn’t super into <i>Get Up! Shout!</i> when I first listened to it, but yappari, it was one of those songs that made more of an impact on me live. Really liking the sound of it tonight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then I guess <i>Tears’ Night</i> got thrown in here to represent the usual winter live lineup! Which I don’t mind at all! Haha also, I was telling my friend not to get her hopes up about <i>METANOIA</i> or <i>FINAL COMMANDER</i> since they both made a flashy appearance in <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i>, but what do you know – suddenly <i>FINAL COMMANDER</i> (also funny that <i>METANOIA</i> actually showed up on the 2nd day, so much for my pathetic predictions)! I didn't give <i>FINAL COMMANDER</i> too much thought until I heard it's in my friend's top favorites, after which I started paying more attention to it and then it has grown on me immensely. Definitely a nice surprise for tonight!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><b><i>MC5</i></b></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next Nana tells us she has to say what she doesn't want to say, that it's time for the last song. She can't believe it's already over, since she waited 841 days for this! She really waited for this sooooooo, so long. Nana thanks everyone for being here tonight, as she is sure everyone had many hardships and worries on the way here. With the next song she hopes to convey all her love and these feelings to us.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>20. ALL FOR LOVE</u></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Very fitting for the final song! Man, started feeling pretty emotional too myself... just can’t believe the first live in over 2 years is nearing its end – and also still can’t believe that we actually got to be here tonight and see this in person. So grateful for it all. It definitely wasn’t easy making it this far and even now, it’s not easy to keep going. Guess we just gotta make it one day at a time till another live is possible again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><u>Encore!</u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit #5</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQKLb21qFV-3O1pvYypxregF2JQ1z5TiGXVicuftkhapeQ4WheR_CKFY7sfSuQx1nZj3TUoi4nCObk5gAkfvCW3RLD0m6x-afHFSC9eIbXkuNqvj93VlnT3I-A25Bp-eGwg9uFBtdk-NOSm4ptnhnmX9MMm_Ul4YTXZFATGStF79NrIa1o34MWiaqG=s800"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQKLb21qFV-3O1pvYypxregF2JQ1z5TiGXVicuftkhapeQ4WheR_CKFY7sfSuQx1nZj3TUoi4nCObk5gAkfvCW3RLD0m6x-afHFSC9eIbXkuNqvj93VlnT3I-A25Bp-eGwg9uFBtdk-NOSm4ptnhnmX9MMm_Ul4YTXZFATGStF79NrIa1o34MWiaqG=s320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>21.

It’s nice but not particularly memorable to me.... sigh. :/ Always really bummed when that happens with a song!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Luckily <i>POP MASTER</i> brought back my excitement levels!

Nana mentions the recently announced <i>King Super Live</i> and the live figure gacha lineup for all the things she has ridden during her lives from <i>LIVE ACADEMY</i> through <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i>.

It's <i>VIRGIN CODE</i>! Such a surprise! My impression of it as an opener song thanks to all my fond memories of <i>LIVE FLIGHT</i> is so strong that it is hard to see it as a closing song instead! Like it makes me feel ready for another round of songs, so it's unfair that there is nothing coming after!!

Sorry I never got around to posting my final <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i> report - I kinda fell into this weird headspace when the pandemic began
and fully separated myself from Nana-related stuff (and any music
really) for almost two years, which is pretty yikes now when I think about it
retrospectively since music has always been my one lifeline.
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways, I'm back now! I've found the spark again thanks to a good friend
falling head first into the Nana vortex recently as it reminded me of how I
used to be and all the related feelings came flooding back.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Gonna celebrate my return with a translation to perhaps my most favorite song
from <i>CANNONBALL RUNNING</i>, with QC done by none other than the
friend who pulled me back into the light. <br />Thanks <3<br /><br />(Also if
there's any Arcane fans out there, I'm working on something else related to
that and this post, so please look forward to it!)

<b><u>Before Concert</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man, this venue was literally in the middle of nowhere. xD A Japanese fan was walking with us from the bus stop and was quite intrigued about a few foreigners showing up in such a far-flung place I guess lol so he was talking to us till we got to the venue. It was so nice and peaceful around there as well with vast fields of grass and not the usual masses of people we are used to at concerts. There was a nice food stand as well, that had a really nice shiikuwasha drink. All in all a nice relaxing wait for the concert venue to open!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
... That's how far the peace lasted though. Once we got inside, it soon became pretty clear to us that right in front of our seats was a group of guys who do the different than everyone else color penlight claws and go all out with crazy wota dances, which was quite distracting. ^^; They were having a lot of fun though so good for them, but I'm just happy that in all my years of concert going this was the first time this happened, since I'd rather have my focus on Nana 100%.</div>

I can't get over how great of an opener this is. >< it had even more effect on me now, since the overall atmosphere was not as heavy and sad as it had been at Kyoto.<br />

Nana bids us welcome! It's the first time she's back in Iwate since <i>LIVE CIRCUS</i>, so it's been six years. Nana tells us that Hikasa Yoko-san is from Iwate and when she found out that Nana is going to Iwate she was like <i>"But why?"</i> and Nana was like <i>"For a live!!! I came before too!!" </i></div>

Ohh, yes!!! I always sing this at karaoke with my friend, and now finally she gets to hear it at a live. :3 It's really fun to sing TMR's bits for Nana during concerts, maybe more so than actually having him there to do it (sorry TMR! xD).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had forgotten <i>AGAIN </i>how captivated I had been by this song in the <i>Nana Labo </i>live viewing (which was a good thing considering the announcement later that all these digital download songs would be on the new album lol), so I was really excited to rediscover it again.<br />
<br />

<i>Mawatte- </i>calls! Nana does the<i> mou ikkai</i> with Yutapon. He elaborates on what he said during the CheriBo intro, and tells us a story of how he and his friends used to be yankees and during a school trip they broke the microphone in the bus. As punishment their teacher made then do seiza while everyone else was having fun, even during the group pic. xD Was real sucky when it happened, but now it makes for a fun story he says.<br />
<br />
Then it's time for the special corner of <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i>! Nana asks who has already attended a <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i> concert before and for whom this is their first time this tour. <i>"No spoilers!"</i> she tells us. She explains the concept of how she is singing songs she hasn't sang yet in her thirties and how there are many eligible songs, so it was very hard to pick. Today, it will be <i>WINDOW OF HEART</i>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>08.WINDOW OF HEART</b></u><br />
This was once again a song I haven't been listening to, I guess a lot of her early ones are like that for me.. also funny that for this corner the trend for us so far has been to get a song that has <i>"heart"</i> as part of the title every time... wonder what will happen next time??<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Yep, I really do have to admit I've taken a real shine on this now thanks to the calls. It's so much fun! Never knew that years later after dismissing this song, I'd change my mind so drastically but here we are lol.<br />

Anna had to do her intro bit with a dance representing a baseball player, who's name I didn't catch. Mayu did hers of some kind of beef, Yumeko did wankosoba, Shizuka got the Sansa Odori, a big summer festival that happens in the Iwate capital, Morioka, every summer. It made me want to go one day!<br />

Ahhhh, I just can't get enough of this song!! It's been a while since I've been so enchanted by a new dance song, that it'll be a shame to lose this as the headliner for the dance corner once <i>LIVE EXPRESS </i>is over.</div>

<b><u>12.The NEW STAR</u></b><br />
I was really hoping for <i>HIGH-STEPPER </i>again so for the first fraction of a second I was really disappointed, until my brain registered that it was<i> The NEW STAR </i>and then I got excited because this song rocks too. xD Considering all the technical difficulties it was plagued with at <i>LIVE PARK</i> it definitely deserved a flawless execution like the one we got tonight. <3<br />

Nana talks about <i>SUMMER PIRATES </i>and Nakau. Nana tells how she went to a supermarket in Roppongi and someone called "Nana!" and she was like "Huh??. Turns out it was Yamadera-san. He had just been to Nakau with his manager. He tells that he has something for Nana in his car, which has been there already for like a year because he keeps forgetting to give it to her. xD It was a bag with a big 7 on it and she was like "Won't this make it seem like she loves herself too much?" so she tells us that if anyone sees her using the bag just remember that it was a gift from Yamadera-san. He apparently has a matching one lol. Anyways, to wrap up this story, Nana tells us to go to Nakau because even Yamadera-san recommends the new dish!</div>

Oh! Nice to get a rotation of <i>Symphogear</i> songs!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>MC4</i></u></b><br />
Nana talks about <i>Symphogear</i>. There is a reason why all these songs from the series are coming up now at this part of the concert! Even her outfit is connected to Tsubasa, but she can't say how because that would be a spoiler. Speaking of, Ai-chan is coming to M no Sekai next week and they will do some puns... but a bit different from the ones that Itaruvich usually does because he is on another level entirely. Ai-chan herself also says that she can't compare to Master Itaruvich. Nana then reminds us that <i>Symphogear</i> is not a pun show though, it is very serious! Then she remembers the insert movie we just watched and reckons that maybe she should explain it a bit. She tells us that the package we see close up has the label hand written by her and its contents are different every time. The "to" is the current concert venue and what's being sent is related to the previous one (as in, it's something that you can only buy from that place). This time it was <i>"kusatsu onsen no moto"</i>. Nana also tells us that the foreign guy in the videos is Michael and he's lived in Japan for 30 years and speaks perfect Japanese. There is a certain line close to the end of the insert movie that he always says in the regional dialect of where the current live is. For Kagawa she had to check from Nakamura Yuuchi what he should say.</div>

Shassu! Nana's been doing Smile-gang for like 16 years. It'll be time for the 1000th episode in 2 years time. She and Misato never thought it would go on for this long. They still do some really crazy stuff even though they are adults.<br />

Oh! Niceeeeee! I was ready to complain about not getting another dose of my <i>Juujika no Spread</i>, but honestly I have no need to complain. xD While one reminds me of my very first concert, the other reminds me of my very first concert living in Japan! <3</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yay!! I have been literally looping the newest single for the past month so I was totally ready to absorb all three of the songs into my very being tonight. I already had time to change my mind about this one, to <i>"well, it's not THAT special..." </i>but then it brought me around again and now I can't get enough. xD<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>24.POWER GATE</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't help but continue to feel that<i> POWER GATE </i>has been appearing a loooooot as an encore, after <i>LIVE GATE</i> started the trend? I don't mind it but it is a bit strange that it isn't being rotated with something else more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Man, the way back from the venue was super interesting. We decided to walk to the nearest train station which was a good 40 min walk (since we reckoned it'd be impossible to guarantee buses at that hour), and most of it was in total darkness. xD It was very lovely imagining all the little critters scurrying at our feet in the blackness... which you did catch glimpses of every now and then when there happened to be a bit of lamps around. Ugh. This is why I don't think I could ever live in the countryside... orz</div>

Back again with another live viewing report! I remember for the previous <i>Zachou Kouen</i> I was swimming in tickets due to a very weird lottery system, so I got to take a bunch of non-fan friends with me who loved it.... but this time if you actually wanted to go, you could only apply for one ticket. orz So we opted to go for the live viewing from the get go so a friend who was visiting Japan for the first time could get to experience some Nana insanity lol.</div>

<b><u>01. Hungry Hungry</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uh, not what I was expecting considering the very Japanese style feel of<i> Zachou Kouen</i>. o.o Can't say this song has grown on me at all since the first time I heard it at<i> LIVE ISLAND </i>and the dance just looked even more amusing when seen in the close ups provided by the live viewing.</div>

<b><u>03. Hatsu Koi</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hells yeah, been too long since <i>ZIPANGU</i>! I really love this song.... (T^T) It can't really reach it's full potential in an event like this though, where you don't get the full-power of CheriBo backing her up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the song, Nana asks if any of us saw the news regarding the summer single that popped up the day before? Once again she got the pleasure of singing the ED theme for<i> Monster Strike </i>and the title of that song was one of the things revealed yesterday. As a gift, she will now sing it for us! She explains that there is a part that she wants everyone to sing together with her and once the time comes she will wave from left to right like so <i>*demonstrates*</i>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>04. Born Free</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I kinda have a bias towards all songs written by Yoshida Takumi so I had a feeling I would like this one before Nana even began and it ended up being true. It had a nice feel to it, a bit different from the usual, though I can't say I have much recollection of it anymore. Can't wait to hear it again and practice the sing-along part!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>-Mishi-P Talk-</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can't say I really remember anything of what he talked about since his purpose is just to buy time for Nana and everyone to get ready, but he did provide us with a treat, which was:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>05. Footage of NEW SENSATION from evening performance of <i>Nana's Music Laboratory</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Got very lucky with this being something I hadn't seen in my <i>Nana Labo</i> live viewing since that was for the day performance and this was from the night. I swear, any additional goodness I can get from <i>Nana Labo</i> I will devour greedily in a heartbeat - it's all just too good. >< And this def was no exception. <3<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">This time, the story revolved around the </span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanada_Ten_Braves" style="text-align: justify;">Sanada Ten Braves</a> </i>and the <i>Siege of Osaka</i> <span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="text-align: justify;">(大坂の陣 ). The story unfolded in a series of vignettes you could say, as it wasn't all connected in one linear flow, but basically just showing the interesting moments from here and there.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><Winter Campaign></i></b></div>

First we get a general rundown of the first major campaign of the Siege of Osaka.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><Summer Campaign></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then it's time for business! It's time to start introducing all the players in the summer team....<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><Jinpachi vs. Monks></i></b><br />
We see a lone ronin, Jinpachi, confront two monks on the road. After some witty back and forth, things naturally evolve into a battle.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><Intro of Ieyasu></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Matsumoto-san pulls out the Nana spices package from his sleeve after talking about his favorite foods and says it is <i>Seven</i> flavors.... so in other words Nana's flavor. Whoops. In pretty much every<i> Zachou Kouen</i> he can, he pulls this kind of stuff... xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><Intro of the Braves, 3 of them missing></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana is introduced as Sasuke. She says to believe that the missing three braves are still alive. Sugita-san tries to hijack the singing part from her, but Misato-san gets the mic from him and gives it to Nana.</div>

<b><i><Intro of Mizuchi></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mizuchi, in other words Inoue-san, makes her entrance. Ieyasu doesn't help it go the way she intended so she demands to do her entrance all over again so she can get in her <i>"always 17" </i>& <i>"oi oi" </i>calls. She reveals her warrior, Orochihime. Ieyasu is not convinced so she shows her resume, which includes playing bass in a band. Obviously very relevant. xD</div>

The Braves bump into Musashi on the road and he asks who they are. Igari says they are looking for her lost older brother and makes a Lelouch joke and sobs on the phone in Nunnally's voice. Musashi pretends to fall for it buuuuut finds out the truth anyway.</div>

Nana goes around in a little cart for her second Enka song of the night. Man, these more ballad'y songs really make me feel melancholic... which is, I guess, the point. It felt kinda weird having this though in the midst of such a humorous story. xD</div>

Sugita busts out all the jokes, first in regards to <i>Jojo</i>, saying how he wished he had a stand also, but his character can only do the hamon thing. Then switching gears to <i>Persona</i> and prompting Nana to summon her Persona with him.<br />

When the Braves encounter Goemon, cue the Persona jokes again with Sugita exclaiming that isn't he his Persona (in <i>Persona 5 </i>his character's Persona is Goemon xD).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kosuke and Juzou are caught and Mizuchi offers Nana's Sasuke a deal - she joins them and they'll let the two go. Nana agrees and climbs into a box where Ieyasu instantly has her impaled...<br />
<br />
... Except suddenly we hear laughter from all around and when the box is opened there is only a Nanette plushie inside. xD Nana doppelgangers in uncannily real Nana masks start showing up here and there until the actual Nana pops up in the middle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a last resort Ieyasu's gang summons forth the spirit of Nobunaga (the artifact that was necessary for the ritual was provided by Goemon). Orochihime takes a blow instead of Nana, making Nana mad and she summons some crazy powers to laser the demon to death... as one does lol.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to the similar name this took me back to the time Nana sang <i>Omatsuri Mambo</i>, which is still maybe my favorite Enka song ever. This one was pretty fun too though! It's a rarer treat to have her sing a male Enka singer's song anyway so this was quite a treat for that reason too. :3<br />

At the end everyone gathers in the middle for thank yous!

Lastly, they all portray their thanks by fully portruding themselves on the floor. xD<br />

<br />
Sitting out the typhoon this weekend gave me some extra time to get to typing so here we gooooo. I was really torn with <i>Nana Labo </i>in the spring, since I had a ticket to actually go see it in Ehime, but I was really not feeling great in general at that time - quite apathetic in fact. I decided in the end to compromise by doing the live viewing instead while my ticket went to good use with one of my friends (who really loved it!). This ended up being such a special treat though that I wish I had gone all the way to Ehime.... (T^T)<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>1.Rock Ride Riot </u></b>(<i>With Ryotan</i>)<br />
Way to instantly make me regret deciding not to go to Ehime for this. D: I was really bummed about this being a towel song before, so I had been hoping to hear a non-towel version of this... and even as just live viewing it did not disappoint! The impact is so much greater when Nana can focus 100% on singing. >< not to mention how awesome this was being a special rendition just with Ryutan... hnngh.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><u>2.Trickster</u></b> (<i>With Kenny</i>)<br />
Ooooh! I was not aware I wanted this, but I sure did!! This could maybe be one of the most perfect songs to pair with a guitar. Kenny was being too kakkoii. xD<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>3.Meikyuu Butterfly -diverse- </u></b>(<i>With Kado-D</i>)<br />
This is bringing me back to<i> LIVE CASTLE </i>times.... ahh, it feels like a lifetime ago. It works so well with a solo violin (but then again, for me everything does lol) due to its roots in <i>Shugo Chara</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>4.STAND UP! </u></b>(<i>With Itaruvich</i>)<br />
Oooh, so nice! Pairing this song up with a guitar wouldn't be my first thought, so it was really nice to get something like this that you can't really imagine otherwise.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC1</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
welcome to <i>Nana Labo</i>! Nana tells us that since she is the image character for Ehime Bank they asked her to do the final performance in this hall before it is torn down. She doesn't really do lives in venues like this anymore so she wanted to do a concert that suits this kind of venue. She reckons that everyone was wondering what kind of concert <i>Nana Labo</i> was going to be. She did this kind of one with one pairing with the CheriBos for one song in <i>LIVE ZIPANGU</i> so she wanted to expand that to a full live. In other words, experiment with instruments and voices. Next song will be with the four CheriBo that have made an appearance so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>5.Miracle☆Flight </u></b>(<i>With Ryotan, Kenny, Kado-D and Itaruvich</i>)<br />
This always brings back so many good <i>LIVE FLIGHT</i> memories, so it is especially nice to have a special rendition of it like this - in <i>COUNTRY STYLE</i>!! Ha, it fits so well. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A country style <i>Miracle☆Flight</i>! Nana asks us if we liked it. The idea and arrangement came from Itaruvich. Nana then goes to talk to all the CheriBo one by one starting with Ryutan. Ryutan says he was nervous and says that tonight only succeeded thanks to us. Nana goes on to mention how he was single-handedly handling the mixer while playing and what not and how much skill it takes to do all of that at the same time. Ryutan says he did mess up a lot in rehearsals. Next up is Kenny. Then Kado-D. She says she picked him and the song because in <i>Shugo Chara </i>her character's brother plays the violin. Last up Itaruvich. She picked the song with him, because he really loves baseball.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana tells us not to be surprised by the kind of experiments that come up from now on.<br />
<br />

<b><u>7.Mr.Bunny! </u></b>(<i>With Martin</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And <i>EVEN</i><i> MR. BUNNY!</i>??? This turned out to be a really interesting rendition... including even a rapping interlude with Martin. Honestly, it was actually pretty neat and suited her surprisingly well. xD</div>

<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>8.Lovely Fruit </u></b>(<i>With Cho-san</i>)<br />
Oh hohoho... percussion <i>Lovely Fruit</i>?! I always felt nothing could top the orchestral version of it, but this one was pretty interesting to listen to, too! Then, to make things even more fun, Nana joins in on the interlude with a mikan looking shaker. I was wondering why there was a rubber pig in Cho-san's arsenal, but he used it by smashing a rubber chicken on it to create the percussive sound he wanted. xD<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>9.Kiseki no Melodia</u></b> (<i>With Tom-kun</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Man, I haven't really been listening to this song much since it came out, so this was a nice opportunity to rediscover it. Hearing it with just Tom-kun's piano was really beautiful.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u><i>MC3</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana bugs everyone again. She starts with Fire and he says he liked this one on one thing from before so he really wanted to do it again and was excited. Then Martin. Then Cho-san. She goes to pick up her mikan shaker and shows it off - she chose that one because of Ehime! Then Cho-san goes to pick up his, which is a lemon, and he is like <i>"these are the LOVELY FRUIT"</i>. Then time for Tom-kun, though he didn't say much because he was nervous. All of them were very silly with their konnichiwas.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>10.GUILTY </u></b>(<i>With Fire, Martin, Cho-san and Tom-kun</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Holy. Shit. JAZZ STYLE GUILTY!!! </i>What is this sorcery?! I didn't think it was possible for me to love GUILTY even more than I already did </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Cherry Boys -intermission</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then it's time for an intermission with all CheriBo where they do their usual intros and show off their musical skills. Ryutan asks who was here for the previous live in 2003, <i>LIVE SENSATION</i> and reminisces about his experience in Dogo Onsen.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><i>MC4</i></b></u><br />
Nana says that ha you might think the experimenting is over since all the CheriBo have showed up. But it's not over, please welcome the next guest! It's Yabuki-san! He comes on stage and throws his little decorative flower into the audience. He hasn't been playing on stage with her since <i>LIVE FORMULA</i> apparently. He says his family is watching one of the live viewings and keeps going on about how he is okay and not nervous but just excited.<br />

<b><u>11.Shounen</u></b>(<i>Guest: Yabuki-san</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can't believe it's been so long since we got some Yabuki-san goodness! Pairing this song up with a guitar was pretty interesting and I quite enjoyed it. Then...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
... The moment the song is over, Yabuki-san is outta there. xD Nana is like <i>"Eh, isn't that a way too speedy exit???"</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><i><u>MC5</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again Nana says that the experimenting is not over. So far it has been her voice paired with instruments, but how about having her voice paired with another voice? Enter Hayami Saori. Nana mentions how in <i>Boruto </i>Nana is Hayami-san's character's mom and Hayami-san is like<i> "mamaaa"</i>. Nana says she LINE'd her asking if she was free on March 23rd and Hayami-san had thought that Nana sent the message to the wrong person and spent like 50 mins just reading and rereading it.<br />

<b><u>12.Heart-shaped chant</u></b> (<i>Guest: Hayami Saori</i>)<br />
I always tend to worry when another artist tries to take on some of Nana's more technically challenging songs, but man, Hayami-san did such a good job with <i>Heart-shaped chant</i>! It was pure pleasure listening to it from start to finish. Just two powerful voices and nothing more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Afterwards, Nana calls all CheriBo back on stage. It's time to do a very different version of a song she usually sings in her lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>13.POWER GATE</u></b>(<i>With all</i>)<br />
I thought this was going to be the usual <i>PawaGe</i> fare, but looks like she had an ace up her sleeve for this one too! There was a little bit of A cappella flare going on these.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>MC6</u></i></b><br />
Nana tells us that this arrangement of <i>POWER GATE</i> also happened thanks to Itaruvich. Apparently he had been wondering how it would be if you had people singing pa pa pa for the main melody and comments that he thinks about very weird things. Then she says that the next one is last song....<br />

This was the first time I heard this.... because yeah, still not on the wagon with all the digital releases... ^^;; I quite like it though so I wonder if I should finally give in and do some purchases... but... but... aahhhhh doushiooo!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shassu! Shassu guys, shassu girls! Shassu by age! Then home prefecture! Nana says thanks for calling her back! Now she has some announcements to make. She is the image character for another CM! Some home company. xD And then she will release a new single in July! The name for her next tour is also decided, it's <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i>! She wanted to express (heh, my pun xD) that she wants to bring the joy of the lives to everyone as quickly as possible with that name. Nana then says that she picked the next song because she wrote it with her home town in mind.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>16.JEWEL</u></b>(<i>With all</i>)<br />
Oh, this was pretty unexpected! Though, considering how it was done with her hometown in mind it makes sense considering the lyrics of the song. Hearing this with the more intimate set up today was really wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>MC8</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana says the next song is really the last one. She picked this one because of its link to Ehime too. With this she wants to try something different from the usual because of a related line in the lyrics of the song. In other words, she wants everyone to shine their phone lights instead of penlights! So of course, everyone does.<br />

Nana welcomes us to <i>LIVE GRACE</i>! It's been 6 years since the last one (well technically, the last one was the day before :p)! She talks with Fujino-san again. He mentions that he took on this job, because of the fantastic atmosphere at Nana's lives. And that even though it is a tough job he wanted to do it in order to feel that atmosphere again. He also talks about how he is sure that everyone has their own expectations for <i>LIVE GRACE</i> whenever it is announced and so does he, so when he got the setlist from Mishi-P he looked at it and was like <i>"huh none of what I wanted is on here"</i>!! xD</div>

<b><u>04.Nocturne -revision-</u></b><br />
Nothing much to add from yesterday, still just so pleasant to hear new renditions of old songs with an orchestra and a more mature Nana. :3 She's like fine wine, the older she gets the better she sounds~~<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>05.夢幻</u></b><br />

Nana says how it's been a while she's gotten to wear something girly and pink and fishes for <i>Mawatte -</i>calls for her princess dress tonight as well. She gets it, but instead of doing mawatte right away she does her <i>Precure</i> impression again, twice! She then talks about how everyone says she is not human for going to the <i>Precure</i> live before her own live today. xD She was like hmm it's from 13 to 16, yeaaah should be fine. Talks about how back at <i>LIVE GAMES</i> she sang the <i>Precure </i>song with this Mizusawa Fumie-san from <i>Precure</i> and how it has already been nearly ten years since then and they are both still doing<i> Precure</i> after all this time. Then it is onwards to the actual mawatte. For <i>Mou ikkai</i> she asks for both Fujino-san and Musshu to join her. Then it's onwards to talk about her age and bday again. Today, too, we get to sing happy birthday to her and they bring out the cake. Apparently there was a little Nanette playing the violin on the cake, but couldn't really see it even when they showed it on the big screens. She blows the candles but they light back up so she blows again. She tells us that the clock prop on the stage is set to 9:58 because that is the time she was born. Apparently her mom was in labor with her for a looooong time. But yeah, usually she would have it be at Nana time, but this time she thought she should do something special.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>08. Never Let Go</u></b><br />
Now that I knew what was coming, I think I managed to enjoy this more tonight without comparing it to the version we got at<i> LIVE GALAXY</i>. After all, getting to hear this song again is a big treat in on itself.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>MC3</b></i></u></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana explains the insert movie again. Feels like she is really worried that no one gets it. xD She talks about how she started ballet a year ago and how she wasn't ready to actually wear a tutu and do ballet on stage yet at a live, but one day! It is time for the CheriBos to show up again. For Kenny's intro, Nana makes fun of him for looking so sleepy yesterday and asks if he has slept well. Itaruvich. Yutapon runs very fast to stage and Nana comments on that so he says he wants to one day jump and fly across the arena and Nana's like <i>"okay we'll see if you'd get to fly in one live sooner or later"</i>. Obacchi. Ryutan does his flashy entrance and Nana is like what is that about and he says he wants to do skydiving this year and hints that everyone should go with him and Nana is like no no no no<b> never</b>. Tom-kun. Kado-D and Kado Quartet.</div>

<b><u>09.Brilliant Star</u></b><br />
Ohohoho, a new oldie! Really always liked this one so hearing an acoustic version was so niiceeeeee.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>10.Ashita graffiti</b></u><br />
Oh, this is a surprise! Definitely didn't see this one popping up here. While I was kinda hoping to hear <i>TWIST&TIGER </i>again, I do admit I quite enjoyed this song too. :3<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><u><i><b>MC4</b></i></u></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana goes to bug some CheriBos again. First up is Obacchi. He wants to play his percussions and dance at the same time at a live this year if he gets the chance. Tom-kun's next but don't remember the content. For Itaruvich, Nana calls him shishou as usual and he's like noo give me a break. Next is Kado Quartet's Pinko! She wants to save enough money this year so she and her family can go on a trip to Hawaii together - what a power mama!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>11.Last Scene</u></b><br />
I was hoping for this one to change too since so far all the other songs in the acoustic corner did. Though, I will welcome <i>Last Scene</i> with open arms.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Nana thanks everyone for the acoustic corner and welcomes back the orchestra.</span><br />

Once again Nana goes around in the little cart. Does make me miss the dance for this song a bit, but Nana doesn't really do any dancing for orchestral lives anyway so can't be helped.</div>

Pretty much the same MC as yesterday, Nana tells us things will only keep getting more intense now that there are 145 people on stage.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>14.Apassionato</u></b><br />
Man, this corner rocks so hard! I wish it could keep going on forever... but these intense songs must be such a nightmare for the orchestra to play I don't even want to imagine...<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>15.GET BACK</b></u><br />
Still not super convinced with this song, but hopefully it will eventually grow on me.. I just need to keep giving it a chance I guess.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>16.UNLIMITED BEAT</b></u><br />
Kinda a bummer none of the songs in this corner changed, but I can imagine that keeping so many people on the same page takes a lot of effort. Also, since there is a video readily available of this song, might as well share it!<br />

Nana thanks us for calling her back again and tells how yesterday she did this second encore with Musshu and they sang Suiren. Tonight though it would be with Kado-D. He comes on stage to join her. Tonight's song will be....<br />

Oh... ooooooh!!! I was thinking that nothing could possibly beat the combo of violin and Suiren from yesterday.... but then Nana gives me<i> Zettaiteki Koufukuron</i>. This really was something else entirely. It was like my soul was purified. (T^T)</div>

Feels kinda weird bouncing back to the start of the year after dishing out one report of <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i> already, but at the same time it kind of refreshed me! Hopefully in the first time in a few years I might be able to clear my backlog....? The suspense!<br />
<br />
(For report on LIVE GRACE -OPUS III- Day 2, go <a href="http://rjokami.blogspot.com/2019/08/nana-mizuki-live-grace-2019-opus-day-2.html">[here]</a>!)<br />

I've gotten old after nearly a decade of concert going so..... somehow just didn't feel up for queuing this time. We did go check it out and while we were attempting (and failing miserably I suppose lol) to take a selfie with the LIVE GRACE -OPUS III- cardboard stand thingy, a fellow foreign fan offered to take the pic for us. It was pretty amusing that we are all from various parts of the world (Finland, Netherlands and Mexico), but spoke to each other in Japanese. xD<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Inside Saitama Super Arena</u></b><br />
Our seats this time were at the very very edge on the right side of the stage. I was a bit worried about the acoustics, as at least when I had a similar seat in Budoukan for LIVE GATE I could only really hear the music from one ear and it didn't feel so good... but I am happy to report that here we did not have that problem!<br />
<br />
<br />
Start movie time! Nana walks down a hall with ballerinas. Some queen gives her a crown... and she becomes the queen?? She becomes a portrait painting.<br />

<u><b>01.Glorious Break</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana flies out from the portrait frame high up at the back of the stage! Man, this song works as such a great opener.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>02.VIRGIN CODE</b></u><br />
The opener is followed by another most suitable song! Didn't think we'd be hearing this one in orchestral form but here we are and I am satisfied.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><u><b>MC1</b></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Welcome! It's been 6 years since the last <i>LIVE GRACE</i>! Nana talks a bit with Fujino-san, starting with his tripping. Then the talk moves onward to the Fan Club, since he's in the FC as well. He mentions that there was this guy at rehearsals who's been in the FC since he was in high school and how he was inspired to work hard by being a Nana fan and now he is here today as part of the orchestra on the contrabasso! They show him on the big screens and he is very taken aback and embarrassed. Nana also doesn't quite know how to react. xD Then she jokes that for the past 6 years she's been begging Fujino-san for another <i>GRACE</i> through the FC bday CDs. Fujino-san says it's very hard doing this for Nana because her songs are insane, like she has 165 bpm and even 205 bpm songs.</div>

Holyyyy <i>sheeeeeet</i>!! I haven't heard this since my first Nana concert ever, so it maybe excited me more than it should have. :3 (little did I know that <i>LIVE EXPRESS </i>was gonna continue with this trend in the summer xD yay)<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>04.Nocturne -revision-</b></u><br />
I really love how in these orchestral lives Nana busts out more older songs than usual, since honestly, with the orchestral arrangement they really sound soooo different and it makes me love these songs more than I normally would.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>05.</b></u><b><u>Antique nachtmusik</u></b><br />
Ooooh, this was really nice in orchestral form with even a nice hooded dance included. This just went so well together with the stage setup and the orchestra that I wish I could hear it again right away...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana mentions how she hasn't sang <i>Love Trippin</i> and<i> Nocturne -revision-</i> for a loooong time. They were released like 16 years ago?? She talks about <i>Memories of 2nd</i> a bit, leading that into mentioning her princessy pink dress and manages to milk a <i>mawatte-</i>call from us with that. Fujino-san joins her for <i>mou ikkai </i>of course. Nana offers him her hand like she was the gentleman out of the two and they march towards the front of the stage. xD Nana then talks about her age and how she is 3<i>*coughcough*</i> years and laments how she can't use this tactic anymore starting next year and maybe it needs to be <i>*coughcough*</i>9 years from now on. Then we get a happy birthday surprise by the orchestra and a cake appears! Staff has played it safe and put 7 candles on it. I have to say I am a bit surprised we got this today, since I wasn't really expecting it till tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Next song is also one that she hasn't sang for a long long time at her lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>06.DRAGONIA</u></b><br />
Wow, it really has been a long time since this popped up!! Oh man. It feels so special to get to hear this live after so many years of Nana not singing it.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>07.Nageki no Hana</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holy shit yesssss! This is maybe my favorite from the <i>NEVER SURRENDER</i> single thanks to the more oriental vibes, which also made it super interesting to listen to in orchestral form. Makes me hope for an orchestral interpretation of <i>Hatsu Koi</i> as well....<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>Insert Movie</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Lake">Swan Lake</a></i> inspired. First there is a bit of a party going on, then everyone disappears and the atmosphere turns creepy. Only a White and a Black Nana remain and they battle it out via proxy of their ballerina minions. After White Nana prevails the party people get brought back.</div>

<b><u>08.Never Let Go</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this some stairs props and canvas projection appeared on the stage. While I really enjoyed the orchestral rendition for this song, it felt like it was lacking a bit of impact this way (I remember it leaving a really strong impression back in <i>LIVE GALAXY</i>), though I am wondering if it is because of my seat being on the side so close to the stage that perhaps that interfered with me getting the intended aural experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>MC3</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana asks if we understood any of the stuff that happens in the insert movie. She explains the Swan Lake inspiration and how it came from her having done ballet, like she already mentioned during <i>LIVE GATE</i>. It was an internal battle, visualized by white and black swan Nanas. Then she intros the CheriBos one by one. Kenny. Shuchan (has stopped drinking as of this year and has lost a lot of weight since last <i>GRACE</i>). Yutapon. Obacchi. Kado-D. Ryutan. Tom-kun. Kado quartet! And with this, it's time for the acoustic corner for which the arrangements were done by Kado-D!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>09.STAND</u></b><br />
Oh.... wow! Never thought <i>STAND</i> would one day make me feel this way. I admit that I do not tend to focus on the lyrics on songs that serve as kind of a calm between the epic action that much like this one too much, but hearing it like this definitely made me pay attention.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>10.TWIST&TIGER</u></b><br />
Yeeeeeessss, this song is so good live! Can't believe we got an acoustic version of this one, I am so happy. (T^T) I dunno why but getting cool versions of usually upbeat and dancey songs is really, really nice. I guess because it really brings a new flavor to these songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC4</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana bothers some of the CheriBo members some more. She asks them about their goals for this year. Kado-D wants to get in shape. Kenny wants to climb Mount Everest.... Oookay. xD Nana wants to do something this year that she hasn't done before. She makes a <i>Precure</i> impression and then it's time for one more song in this corner.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>11.Last Scene</u></b><br />
The oldies continue!! Even<i> Last Scene </i>gets new life breathed into it through this acoustic version.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana then thanks everyone for the acoustic corner and welcomes back the orchestra.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>12.Dancing in the velvet moon</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana appears on a cart to sing....<i> Dancing in the velvet moon</i>!! Daamn, I wasn't expecting this one at all. In fact, I somehow had been feeling that she already sang this in a <i>GRACE</i> before, which is isn't true though. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a brief interlude after this, but can't remember what the orchestra was playing... orz<br />

Nana asks us if we are still okay to keep going, because it is going to get more intense now. Now with the CheriBo back in business on stage again too, there are 145 people on stage she muses.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>14.Apassionato</u></b><br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>15.GET BACK</b></u><br />
Ooh, more new stuff! I keep forgetting about this one, since it kinda gets overpowered with <i>NEVER SURRENDER</i> and<i> Nageki no Hana</i> for me. Still the full power of 145 people made this sound just at home in this powerful corner.<br />
<br />

<i>YES</i>! I was hoping it would be this one. Too pretty. (T^T) It's been too long since it moved me to heavens and back in <i>LIVE CIRCUS</i>. Tonight's version was definitely at a similar level of amazing and made me feel a lot of feelings...<br />

<u><b>18.NEVER SURRENDER</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once again, Nana does her magic and makes me more convinced about a song after I hear it live and honestly,<i> NEVER SURRENDER</i> felt like it was meant for this kind of live.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>MC7</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Shassu</i>! Us! CheriBo! Orchestra! Nana goes on to some batsu talk as she has done like every live for quite some time now lol. Then Nana tells us she has an announcement to make..... there will be <i>Zachou Kouen</i> in May! Banzai! Also, live viewing for the <i>Music Laboratory </i>concert in Ehime! Banzai!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>19.STORIES</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I feel like <i>STORIES</i> has popped up a lot in recent years, I wonder if there is any particular meaning behind that. :3 Still, never hurts to hear it again.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then Nana thanks everyone. First the CheriBo. Then the choir. Then orchestra. Musshu. Fujino-san.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>Encore II</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana comes back! She had been thinking what to sing if she gets called back again and she came up with this - a duet with Musshu. Musshu thought she was crazy when she first suggested this and she says that so were the CheriBo when she suggested it for <i>ZIPANGU</i>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>20.Suiren</u></b> (with Musshu)<br />
Holy shit, this hit right in the feels! (T^T)<i> Suiren</i> with just the violin was way too magical, to the point that I am still getting shivers thinking about it later. Nothing gets me as hard as combining one of my favorite songs with my favorite instrument, ahhh!<br />

I'm making a bit of an exception to my usual report flow and skipping the ones in my backlog (don't worry, I will return to finish those!

<b><u>Before Concert</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the concert officially started, Nana walked on stage alone in silence, took a moment to collect herself and talked about KyoAni. Through tears she expressed her deepest condolences for all the talented people who lost their lives just two days before. That such a tragedy could befall people, who just wanted to bring joy and smiles to everyone through their work is too heartbreaking. That Nana can also bring smiles to everyone as a seiyuu is only possible because of people like them who bring the anime alive.We then had a moment of silence for the victims together. Nana then vows to bring some happiness in the midst of this horror with today's concert and walks away.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Start movie time! We see various people doing their daily work at a warehouse, Nana included. She's then off to do some deliveries with an English speaking fellah to whom she replies either with awkward grunts or in Japanese. xD He says that she reminds him of this one awesome singer who also happens to have the same name as her and he turns on the radio to some special on Nana, and then....<br />

<u><b>01.WHAT YOU WANT</b></u><br />
This works really great as an opener, damnnnnn. I had been wondering if I would be able to enjoy the live at all, since I had been feeling pretty sad for the past few days because of what happened and freshly so after Nana's heartfelt speech, but her presence and energy now when she returned on stage in full concert mode was so cathartic that I could allow myself to to be carried away into the moment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>02.Poison Lily</u></b><br />
This was like the perfect follow up to <i>WHAT YOU WANT</i>. It's insane how well these two songs actually went together. Made me more hyped for this song again too, I should sing it in karaoke more...<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>MC1</b></i></u><br />
Welcome to <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i>! Kyoto, it has been a long time! Nana says that the last time she was in Kyoto for a "proper" live was 16 years ago, though of course she did have the special Heian Jingu live in 2012, but even that was a long time ago by now! She does add that she has been here during private time though and that btw, Mishi-P is originally from Kyoto.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>03.Bring it on!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The badassery continues! I find it kinda amusing that Nana had to get back the megaphone that she had out for the beginning of <i>WHAT YOU WANT </i>after already putting it away. xD<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>04.What cheer?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hah, I just loooove everything about this song! Seeing the kinda silly dance in person feels like such a guilty pleasure somehow.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>05.Heartbeat</u></b><br />
Took me a moment, but I did remember the name of this song! I listen to it quite often actually so would have been pretty shameful if I didn't. Fitting end to this latter half of the beginning songs, as it served as a bit of a calm break after the intense openers.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Cherry Boys -showcase</b></i></u><br />
For the CheriBo intros today, they all get task shown to them by Team Yo-Da, on the inside of the lid of a delivery box they open for each of them. Itaruvich of course needs to tell a pun. Kado-D needs to play a melody on a tiny violin that sounds like a tongue twister (and damn, it really did sound like one lol). Fire plays <i>Miracle☆Flight </i>on a toy sax. Cho-san does an impression of some person (didn't catch that properly). Tom-kun has to make game related sounds on his synth, so he makes the well-known sound effects of collecting coins and such from classic Mario. Yuta-pon has to say something to rouse the crowd - <i>"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.... NANA!"</i>. Kenny just gets happy birthday wishes! He is turning 61, Kenny number..... 6 ONE! Ryotan gets to play a likkle trumpet, but it was over just when I was on the verge of recognizing what he played. D:<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>06.REBELLION</b></u><br />
Woops, I had kinda forgotten about this song... I should really start getting into the habit of buying music digitally shouldn't I.... orz<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>07.ETERNAL BLAZE</b></u><br />
Already <i>EtaBure</i>?? So soon!! It feels wrong to have it be over and done with at this point already, but those feelings always get mixed with excitement for what is in store instead later (I've probably said this before but it never stops being true... so..).<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC2</u></i></b><br />
Nana starts off by mentioning her wardrobe change, which of course cues the<i> Mawatte!</i> -calls. The <i>Mou ikkai </i>tonight is of course with Kenny, since he is the birthday boy. Kenny wants all the other in their 60's folks to give him a cheer, but it's all quiet in the hall. D: He concludes that it is just him. Nana goes on to say that since she has decided that she will still hold lives when she is 77 years old, well, Kenny really needs to ganbatte to still be doing his duty as her guitarist then. xD<br />
<br />
From here the topic smoothly moves onto her age. Nana mentions how she is 3*coughcough* years old. As such, she decided that for the special corner of this summer's tour she would sing songs that she has yet to sing in a live in her 30's. So far it's been<i> Cherish</i>, <i>White Lie</i>, <i>Refrain</i> and<i> Pierce</i>. Tonight will be.....<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>08.Open Your Heart</u></b><br />
Now here's a song I haven't listened to a very long time. It's always kinda weird to hear the current Nana singing these more cutesy songs from the past, since she has grown and become quite a different person. It kinda also served as a painful reminder that I missed out on <i>Soredemo Kimi wa Omoi desu kara -again-</i> when it popped up recently in a live (since this and that song are from the <i>Innocent Starter </i>single).<br />
<br />
<br />
Nana says that she hasn't sang this song since like she was 24 or so. But no matter how long it's been, she can still dance in a rainbow dress! She gets a bit embarrassed thinking about her early singing days, but recently in her seiyuu work she has get to be Inorin's mama! Nana mama! xD<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>09.SUPER GENERATION</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whoa, all the songs that usually get reserved for encores or the latter half of a live are showing up really early this time!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>10.Take a chance</u></b><br />
I was never that into this song before, but now after years and years of live going and superbly enjoying singing songs together with Nana I have to say that this grew on me a LOT tonight with all the nice calls you can do for it.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Team Yo-Da -showcase</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For their intros, Team Yo-Da is tasked with dancing a certain thing related to Kyoto. Don't remember Anna's thing too clearly, maybe it was Gion. Yumeko had to dance Nintendo, Mayu a maiko-san and Shizuka one of the Kyoto matsuris.<br />

<u><b>11.SUMMER PIRATES</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I haven't been a fan of the recent dance songs like <i>Please Download </i>and <i>Hungry Hungry</i>, so my expectations for this one weren't too high either, but.... HOLY SHIT - I LOVE IT!! This song really screams summer. I was thinking it reminds me of the 90's somehow, but when I started thinking about it maybe that was not quite right. More like, it just gave me a nostalgic feeling back to the days I used to listen to Koda Kumi's "<i>To be one</i>" a lot I think. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>12.HIGH-STEPPER</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nostalgia continues.... can't believe I am finally getting <i>HIGH-STEPPER</i> again after all these years. It blew me away back in the first Nana concert I went to and now, in the midst of shaking from excitement I whisper to <a href="https://twitter.com/flying_mug">@flying_mug</a><i> "I used to call this part the Bitch Walk"</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC3</u></i></b><br />
Nana talks about <i>SUMMER PIRATES</i> and how it is a bit different from the other recent dance songs like <i>Hungry Hungry</i>. This time she wanted to make a more straightforward "someone giving you a push on the back" kind of song. <i>SUMMER PIRATES </i>is also a song for Nakau though like <i>Hungry Hungry</i> before it and it should start playing in the Nakaus across the country around now. Nana then reminisces about how last time she had to do the CM for Nakau without her bangs down and showing her bare forehead and how deeply embarrassing it was. She then moves onto talk about the new dish she is promoting and goes through all the different flavors in it like she is giving it a proper marketing spiel. She then asks if anyone has had a chance to try it yet and of course people have and she was like wow, that was fast.<br />

<u><b>13.Take a shot</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even more nostalgia!! Will it ever end?? xD The first song I ever listened toooooooo, wah. I'm getting so many feels with all of these in a row.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
After <i>Take a shot</i> finishes, Nana tells us to take out our towels if we have them because it is time for....<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>14.PROTECTION</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What, even <i>PROTECTION</i> (also one of my first ever favorites lol) as towel song tonight?? This feels like an early xmas, the song gifts just keep coming!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Delivery Nana -insert movie</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana is going around making deliveries and bringing smiles to customers with the English speaking fellah. Once back in the car, some suspicious car off-roads them. Oh snappity snap! The fellah is out cold and the baddies come look through all the scattered delivery boxes for something they were after. One of the boxes has some glowing thing in it which blows them away when they open it. Nana is up and about, summoning the glowing thing as a bracelet on her wrist which gives her magical powers and she, in turn, starts to glow and sends the bad guys packing. She then easily lifts their van and puts it back on the road and for the hell of it, transforms it into a big big truck that reminds me a bit of Optimus Prime. xD She then helps her friend wake up and he is like <i>HOLY SHIT THIS TRUCK IS HUGE</i> and off they goooo! (lol what just happened?? xD)<br />
<br />

<b>Outfit #4 - ??don't remember this, but I liked it??</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>15.METANOIA</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hadn't really gotten into this song yet, but damn am I sold now. I was pretty bummed with myself, since there were a lot of calls but I couldn't really do any of them since I hadn't dedicated time to this song yet..... but that just means that I need to make amends a thousandfold in the next<i> LIVE EXPRESS</i> I go to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>16.TESTAMENT</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The<i> Symphogear </i>corner continues! Makes me miss my good friend who moved out of the country a while ago, since she's gotten really smitten with this song in particular (yep, got her into Nana somehow right before she left even though for once I wasn't even trying!).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>MC4</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana talks about the<i> METANOIA</i> release and asks who has already bought it.<i> Symphogear XV</i> is airing now! She says that Tsubasa has become so "erai". She recorded another character song for her the other day, which is sure to make everyone cry she guarantees us. She also mentions how she is singing <i>METANOIA </i>in <i>Music Fair</i> and doing a duet with an enka legend, Tendou-san. Nana says that Tendou-san was one of the judges in a karaoke competition thing she took part in when she was much younger and to think that they are singing together now! Okay, it's time to move to atsui songs from here....<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>17.UNBREAKABLE</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh man, even this made me reminiscence about how much my life has changed from when this came out and I was listening to it to help myself get through night after night of distributing newspapers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>18.suddenly~Meguriaete~</u></b><br />
This felt really unexpected to me for some reason (yeah I haven't really looked at <i>LIVE EXPRESS</i> set lists before coming here tonight, so had no idea what was waiting for me)! It was also somehow really refreshing to hear this at this point, can't really explain why that was either.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>19.Astrogation</b></u><br />
Ooooh! Since I've been in such a nostalgic mood tonight thanks to all the songs that have already popped up on the set list, for the first time in a long while even<i> Astrogation</i> got me reminiscing about university and how I used to hide something Nana related in all my game design projects, one of which was getting my classmate to make a rearrangement of <i>Astrogation</i> for a game about an alligator astronaut called Astrogator. You can call me queen of lame. xD<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>MC5</b></i></u><br />
It's time for the last song. Nana says she wants to convey her feelings for everyone and asks us to take our phones out and wave around the phone flashlights for her for this song.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>20.Searchlight</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's nice to have a new gimmick for a Nana concert and use the phone flashlight instead of a penlight, but it goes against my personal principle of not touching my phone until the concert is fully over. Conflicted feelings.. orz But in the end, what Nana wants, wins!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Encore:</b></i></u><br />
<i>Naaa-naaaaaa!</i> Otsukare-sama to the guy who was screaming so diligently even though his voice was disappearing little by little.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Outfit #5 - encore</b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>21.No Limit</b></u><br />
Hmmm, all the <i>Dog Days </i>songs after <i>SCARLET KNIGHT </i>make for good summery encore songs huh (not counting <i>SCARLET KNIGHT</i> because it <i>OWNS</i> no matter what timing). For the duration of this song, Nana goes around the arena on a fork lift. xD<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC6</u></i></b><br />
Thanks for calling her back! Shassuuuuuu!! Boys! Girls! CheriBo! Staff-san! Smile-gang has been on air so long that they are already into the 900's with episodes. So far this year Nana has already gathered two batsus for herself and it's about time to see how it will go with pro baseball.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>22.Juujika no Spread</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wow, another surprise from my first Nana concert! I used to listen to this song so much. It's of course still on my usual playlist, but since I keep adding more and more songs when Nana releases them, I don't hear this as often as I used to 8 or so years ago, so yep, extreme nostalgia feels continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>23.Born Free</b></u><br />
I wasn't too convinced with this when I first heard it and I was still remaining skeptical.... but at least hearing it now inspired me to give it a a chance (and yep, now after looping it for a week I have grown quite fond of it, as expected of Yoshida Takumi-san). Doing the wow-wows for Nana is always nice though!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>MC7</u></i></b><br />
Nana tells us that the next song really is the last one for today, so everyone, let's sing together!<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>24.POWER GATE</b></u><br />
Ohohoho! Should have seen this coming! Though having this as final final song will just make me think of <i>LIVE GATE</i> now. xD Still, it never stops being a magical sing together song!<br />
<br />
<br />
During the final bows and thank yous, CheriBos got inspired to do something new and formed a C and a B with their bodies and Team Yo-Da of course followed suit. Nana too. It took me a while to realize she was doing an M and then a 7 since I was expecting an N. xD Anyways, thank you for tonight!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I haven't really gotten excited in a live for quite some time (had a tough year last year, which was probably the main reason), but tonight I finally felt the joy and happiness of music return to me. Thank you Nana, looking forward to the next one next month!! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some brief thoughts on a couple of smaller events I had a chance to attend last fall! Not too much of Nana in either, so I'm mainly focusing on my experience rather than the content and keeping it short. :3</div>

<u><b>若おかみは小学生!Stage Greeting</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never had the chance to attend a stage greeting for a movie before, so now that I am back to residing in Japan I thought why not! The movie itself was also better than I expected, so that made it a double win! However... I don't think I will attend any more stage greetings. xD I'm pretty sensitive to how other people are feeling.... and this whole thing just felt super awkward. There was a lot of motionless posing from all the seiyuu for all the various press photographers who were there and it felt a bit weird to have a theater full of people just staring at that lol. At least it was the birthday of the girl who voices the main character so she got a cake and a surprise present. She was really adorable in general, being so in character all the way - even with how she dressed! even the other seiyuus, like Nana, had color coordinated their outfits to match their characters.</div>

<b><u>TGS: Death Stranding Stage Event</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me and my friends had the foresight to go lurk around the PlayStation stage a couple of events before and thus managed to make it about 10 meters from the stage. Once the <i>Death Stranding </i>event started, I looked behind and holy shit the whole hall had filled up to the brim with people that had come to watch it. It was insane! If we had wanted to leave for some reason there would have been absolutely no way to. xD Anyways, since the stage event was mainly Kojima-san talking more than anything else, I won't really delve into it, but here's a link to the whole thing on YouTube:</div>

This time I'll be writing about something else - a seiyuu event! It's been quite a while since I last attended something like this and had totally forgotten how crazy seiyuu are. xD It was really nice though to enjoy something like this and it quite lifted my spirits.<br />

<u><b>The Event</b></u><br />
The event kicks of with Steamboat Popuko. xD And we also get some song snippets, before it's on to the main course of the evening!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
The first pair of seiyuus grace the stage! Mitsuya declares his age (64, I think it might have been) and exclaims that who would have thought he'd get to play a teenage girl! He then proceeds to continuously call everything kuso. xD<br />
<br />
They receive a question on the big screen, which is:<br />
<br />
<i>"How did you feel when you got the offer?"</i><br />
<br />
Mitsuya and Hidaka recall how they both thought they were just doing an audition for the anime, though in truth that was the actual recording. And afterwards, they were wondering if they would get the role or not even though it was already a done deal... xD Hidaka was sure they wouldn't pick her and says that her kids were watching TV and were like mom you're on!!<br />

Tadokoro recalls how when she first met Morohoshi, Morohoshi was just 13 years old. Now she is 19 (still young if you ask me xD).

They start by talking about how they were so excited to be in the anime only to find out they'll be just singing a song - the disappointment! So they are thrilled to be doing some voice work here finally. Pipimu takes out her phone to do the thing that's on the video.<br />

Hisashi and Sumipe perform the OP song together. Hisashi is a special guest. Sumipe chats with him a bit and is so shocked that he is such a nice person. She says that she thought he'd be scary with the way he looks dressing all in black and what not. She also says Hisashi and Hellshake are rivals and maybe one day they'll get to play on stage together. :'D Before this segment is over, Sumipe still asks Hisashi about his favorites in the anime.</div>

<br />
Sugita is already doing some weird poses when being lifted up to the stage, which is so like him. The guys do their usual thing like in the anime, and talk random shit instead of proper lines. When the scene comes up where Pipimi's neck keeps extending Sugita is like <i>"What, we are doing this again on stage, really??"</i>. Nakamura makes a joke about Gintama being done, except not really.<br />
<br />
Then it's time for their question corner. They wanna see how many questions they can clear before the time is up. They just answer with grunts and reactions to the first two (<i>"when you got offer what did you think?"</i> being one). And from there, Sugita keeps making jokes about Sumipe. xD<br />

<br />
When receiving a hug from Pipimu Sumipe shouts <i>"Shassu!!"</i> and Nana's Popuko replies with <i>"KAKATTE KOII!"</i>. They keep up the inside jokes.<br />
<br />
For the retro racing game scene, Nana calls for <i>"Vilkiss!!"</i> and once again, more <i>Cross Ange</i> jokes follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They then do the <i>"Ki ni naru" </i>-scene. Followed by Popuko having a dream of being eaten by shark and enjoying it. Nana says in the end <i>"a whale would be fine too"</i>, which is a callback to <i>LIVE ISLAND</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once they are done, Nana forgets her mic at the line reading stage at the top and returns to get it. Sumipe thought she went back for the line booklet so she goes back to get that. When they get down Nana's like <i>"I just got my mic we don't need the booklet"</i> and Sumipe throws it back up, though first fails at it. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They talk some more and go through questions. First up was a question regarding something said by their producers, but Nana and Sumipe keep getting sidetracked I feel. Nana randomly kicks Sumipe's butt. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nana tells that she is a big fan of <i>Poputepipikku </i>and recounts how she spent her birthday this year by herself watching it because no one was on LINE or anything (she told this at <i>LIVE GATE</i> also). Today she is<i> HAPPY </i>because she is here!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sumipe keeps touching Nana's arm and biceps. So now they talk about Nana's training and how every time Sumipe comes to say hi all she can hear from Nana's place is huffs and puffs.<br />
<br />
They then need to answer <i>"Who is the most Poputepipikku person you know?"</i>. Sumipe says it's Nana. She's like<i> "Nana's up there she's down there and that's because Nana's so pure"</i>. Sumipe keeps teasing and Nana's like <i>"I'M TOO PURE I CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING LALALALA"</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end, Sumipe remarks it's weird having Nana in an event like this where she doesn't have to sing or anything.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sumipe reveals hers first. Her solution is that some drink was poured on Popuko's head...? xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second is Makino. She explains her choice by telling a story of how she and Watanabe were eating in the dressing room earlier and Nana casually walked past and said good day normally to them, and then Makino started to hear this weird sniffling sound from behind her and Watanabe was there basically crying from being noticed by Nana senpai like that. She's super embarrassed but then goes into full fan mode bowing to Nana and saying she is a fan and how amazing it is to be here together. Sumipe who is sitting beside Nana offers to switch seats so Watanabe could sit beside Nana. Sugita who also is sitting beside Nana, offers to BE Watabe's chair lawl. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watanabe reveals hers next. Don't remember what hers was though. orz</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then Nana. Her theme is even in 30s Popuko can keep going? Or something xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sugita next. His was something weird that had to be explained by Nakamura, but I didn't quite catch it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then Nakamura, his one is poking fun at Nana. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winners are Sugita for Pipimi seiyuu...... and Nana AND Nakamura for Popuko. They do the Mickey scene too lol.<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyone then sings the<i> Tree of the Heart</i> song together.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then get credits, with a message from everyone filmed backstage. At the end there's a random appearance on video from Aoi Yuuki coming out of the toilet and feeling unwell, then extending his hand and asking us to raise ours and grab his.<br />
<br />
Then we get the reveal of <i>Poputepipikku</i> special broadcast in April 2019. Yay! \o/ And thus ends this kuso evening....</div>
