Looks like I am back on my bullshit aka tardy with reports! Sorry about that! Been pretty busy with work the past few weeks so I had to put all of this in the backburner for a bit. But here I am with a report again and only one more to go after!
Sooooooo..... here's another concert I wasn't supposed to attend. ^^;; We were planning to just go to the final, but then the itch to go on the first Nagoya night as well grew and grew since we'd already be in town anyway... and yep, the rest is history. And with that I gained one more extra report to write lol. xD
Probably will be keeping this one kind of short since 99% of it is just a rinse and repeat of songs I've already written about in previous reports.
(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 01 at Hyogo, go [here]!)
(For report on LIVE HOME 2022 Road 05 at Saitama, go [here]!)
01. New Sensation
12. Dancing on the velvet moon
16. WHAT YOU WANT
24. No Limit
Outfit #1
Cowgirl
01. New Sensation / 02. POWER GATE / 03. Go Live!
The fun thing about going on the night before the final is that you can kinda start guessing what'll make it into the rotation for the final (aka probably the DVD/BD) and I have to say I was kind of shocked to hear POWER GATE tonight! My money was on that being left for tomorrow night since the cowgirl outfit was a nice homage to the music clip after all.
I finally kind of started to appreciate Go Live! now too (lol after how many LIVE HOMES?! 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.
MC1
Nana tells us the usual greeting of her having come home! She says it's been 4 years since she last came to Aichi and 3 years since the last tour in general! She exclaims that finally we have made it to the last venue of LIVE 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 Kouhaku Uta Gassen 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.
Finally Nana declares that she wants to get rid of all the stress we’re holding inside tonight!!!
04. ROMANCERS' NEO / 05. スパイラル
Kind of bummed that we got ROMANCERS' NEO 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 Spiral with the background video showing just white and black.
Cherry Boys -showcase
I always tell myself I'll do better catching the "this or that" questions but.... yeah. ^^;; Kado-D was asked if he prefers COSMIC LOVE or DISCOTHEQUE and he picked COSMIC LOVE. 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 DISCOTHEQUE.
06. HOLY TALE / 07. Darling Plastic
There is still hope for me to get NAKED FEELS tomorrow! \o/ wohoooo!!
MC2
As always, it's time for Mawatte -calls here! And then Itaruvic for mou ikkai. Nana asks how is it to tour again after three years and Itarvic is like "we were rehearsing for it like less than two months ago and it’s already over"! 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 "what food does oneesan like most in Nagoya Aichi?" "Tebasaki (chicken wings)!" "Aichi ( as in ah, Ecchi)" 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? ^^;
Next it's time for the Nana firsts corner. Last weekend in Sendai was her first anime OP for an anime where she also voiced the main character, Success, success and then the first demo tape which was 水中の青空 (Suichuu no Aozora). Today will be.... the first anime ED! Which is....
08. Heaven knows
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 "Heaaaaaven knoooooows" bits in the chorus for her tonight.
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’m home” 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!!
She also reminisces a bit about the Change boys, 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
09. ダブルシャッフル / 10. MARIA&JOKER
And time to kick off the bit of LIVE HOME that I just love so much! Honestly, just hearing all of these one after the other was the main reason I really wanted to come tonight as well.
Team Yo-Da -showcase
Nothing new to add for this bit, other than loving the Persona 5 vibes like always. \o/
11. Reboot! / 12. Dancing in the velvet moon / 13. DNA -Dance 'n' Amuse-
It was actually the first time we were seated on the left side, which is the side that the Nanallac starts from, so it was pretty fun to see everything from a new perspective! For once we could even get a slight peek into the fine work Team Mizuki put into the dashboard within the car and whatnot.
Also even though I really love Dancing in the velvet moon too, I'm thrilled to know that tomorrow night I'll probably get to see GUILTY up close again, since we got quite good seats to look forward to!
MC3
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 Persona 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.
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 "isn’t that the same as keeping it on all night??" 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.
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.
14. Stand by you
Ahhhh.... ^^
Family Sitcom - insert movie
The Nagoya guest seiyuu is... 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
Outfit #4
15. FIRE SCREAM /16. WHAT YOU WANT
Somehow the explosion after WHAT YOU WANT manage to scare the shit out of me again lol.... it was fun to see how the smoke actually got blown on top of the A block folks in the front part of the arena and settled on their heads. xD
MC4
Nana starts off by saying "Can anyone see through the smoke??" xD She also says that even though she knows it’s coming the explosion effects always make her jump, since she’s not used to that kind of thing anymore (me too Nana, me too T^T).
She also talks about the home comedy of course and how every venue it’s a new seiyuu guest doing it with her. 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. Then....
17. MY ENTERTAINMENT / 18. Kindan no Resistance /19. ETERNAL BLAZE
Yesssssss!! I saw on Twitter this project to get as many people to lift their fists in the air when Nana does it too at the beginning of MY ENTERTAINMENT on the final night. I was kind of itching to do it already but managed to barely contain my excitement and leave it for tomorrow!
MC5
And then, it's time for the last song….. Nana talks a bit about the pandemic and how no one would have expected it to last so long. She was waiting and waiting for this moment for two years, and asks if we were the same.
20. 全力DREAMER
Yes, help is keep dreaming on with you Nana! \o/
Encore!
Outfit #5
21. レイジーシンドローム / 22. RODEO COWGIRL
Another surprise!! I was so sure RODEO COWGIRL would be saved for tomorrow, again because of the cowgirl and American vibe that's really strong throughout LIVE HOME! Bamboozled by Nana yet again! Anyway, I embrace this rotation with open arms since RODEO COWGIRL really is pretty low on my list of favorites, if it's on it at all tbh.
MC6
Shassu! 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 LIVE RUNNER.
23. HOME
Forgot to mention this during my previous reports, but there were bits of LIVE RUNNER footage played on the screen at the back of the stage during this song.
And then it's time for the actual last song. 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…
24. No Limit
While enjoying this song I couldn't help but let my mind wander to the fact that tomorrow will be the last time for all of this since then the tour will be over. Even after attending so many, I am not ready. orz
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.
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....
