Hello, I'm Rhea. I'm an avid fan of AAA, Sometani Shota, and gorgeous people in general. Sometimes I make gifs and graphic edits of my favorite things. Sometimes I spam your dashboard with endless reblog of ikemen.
Thank you for creating a beautiful ‘heptagon’ that continues to shine brighter every year and overcomes any obstacle. 7 amazing souls that created a place full of love, happiness & where we can all be free.
I have written the same report on AAA_Indo. But I want to make it easy to read, so I decided to post the report on tumblr too. Last week, still feels like a dream to me, I attended AAA Asia Tour 2016 in Singapore. Both, the live and the fanclub event. My memory could be hazy since I was too excited I couldn’t remember some things, so I tried to write what I can remember from both the events.
I warn you, this is gonna be a very long post xD
I arrived with Maya @rainyfirefly on Thursday night, two days earlier from the concert. We decided to exchange our tix on Friday, check the concert venue, and get around Singapore. We didn’t have any plan to wait and greet AAA in the airport. But after we got to the venue, Maya was contacted by her japanese friend about this matter and we checked the arrival flights on that day. There were two flights from Japan that would arrive in the afternoon. One in terminal 1 and one in terminal 2. With the help of our friends, we followed our guts and we waited on terminal 2.
We met Maya’s friends there and we got to know some japanese fans who followed AAA to Singapore. We waited until the arrival time but AAA didn’t come out. Maya checked the arrival flights and realized there was another flight from Japan that arrived on terminal 3. We were panicked lol. One of our newly-made friends contacted her dad in terminal 3 and her dad said AAA indeed just landed there. We were running to terminal 3 and I must say, I admire the strength of Japanese fans. They’re so fast! I and Maya barely made it to terminal 3 and fortunately, AAA hadn’t come out yet.
When they came out, we didn’t see Chiaki and Shuta. Apparently, Shuta was arrived later than members. Probably Chiaki too. Everyone was shouting members’ names. Then suddenly there was this guy shouting “Kamisama! Hidaka-Kamisama!” repeatedly. Members burst out laughing. Naoya and Hidaka kept laughing along the way to their car. Naoya even took pictures/video of the fans with his phone.
They got into the car and we waved until the car was out of our sight. That was fun, yet it made me more dokidoki for the live the day after lol
AAA ASIA TOUR 2016 Live Performance (09/03/2016)
Honestly, I’m bad at remembering setlist in a concert. So, you can read about the setlist and brief summary of the live here.
We got the second row with clear view to the stage. Hidaka was right in front of us, flirty as always lol. He’s so awesome. I’m sure he tried to make eye contact to every audience and sometimes, threw his wink and blew kisses. That made me couldn’t take my eyes from him, though originally I wanted to look at other members too T_T *smacked*
During the introduction, Misako and Shinjiro introduced themselves in fluent English. Misako even said, “Let’s make tonight special!” After that, Nissy introduced himself by spelling his name loudly, “My name is N-I-S-S-Y! Nissy!” So cute xD
During one song (forgot what it was), Nissy forgot to song using his mic. He laughed a little and continued to sing. Nissy and Chiaki almost crashed too during Flavor of kiss, but they managed to avoid it and keep the dance perfect.
One of my favorite parts is when Nissy facing Misako during LOVER and he made weird face again. Of course, that made Misako and everyone laughed.
They’re so communicative and friendly during the MC! They talked about PokemonGO that being played here and there in Singapore too, Hidaka even boasted about his level lol.
The Kamisama guy shouted again to Hidaka. Hidaka noticed it and answered in English, “Your God is here.” Then he turned to members. “His God is me.” Members laughed.
Misako looked like she was explaining about this Kamisama thing at the airport to Shuta. He burst out laughing on his mic a bit late, that was so cute lol.
They noticed someone with eyecatching headband with the writing “HERE”. Shuta seemed quite amused with the headband, even mentioned that several times in MC. So cuteee xD
Shinjiro asked where the audience come from. The audience answered and he repeated, “Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia?” Luckily he heard ‘Indonesia’ coming from my row lol
Misako praised audience's Nihongo. Shinjiro asked the audience, "Can you read Kanji? Hiragana? Katakana?" After hearing audience's answer, he said, "Oh, so no kanji? No kanji, okay." xD
Shinjiro and Hidaka asked who's the bilingual and trilingual (and more) here. Shinjiro said everyone's awesome because most of the audience can speak more than one language. Nissy chimed in, "Good good good good!" repeatedly in cute way like he always does.
They talked about Singlish and asked audience to teach them Singlish. Shinjiro explained using 'lah' is the same with 'ne' in japanese.
The audience taught them how to say "Ii ne" (that's nice) in Singlish. It's "Shiok la" and the members repeated it over and over. Shuta even did beatbox using the word 'shiok' from 'shiok la'. Hidaka chimed in with a bit rap. That was so fun!
Naoya told us they ate chicken rice and that was great. Audience recommended durian/dorian and Shinijiro looked confused. He said in English, "No, sorry. I can't stand the smell." That’s unfortunate because seems like most of the audience love durian lol
After the MC, they sang several songs and bid goodbye for encore. Singaporean fans had a fan project for encore, they spreaded through a kind of banner which I didn’t get one lol. The project was singing happy birthday to AAA and Nissy. Everyone was singing but only lasted for about 1 minutes then audience started to shout “Tori-e! Tori-e!” as usual. Luckily, during MC after the encore, Chiaki noticed the banner. Fans in the front row passed the banner to her. Chiaki asked, “Is this for AAA’s birthday?” The audience said yes and for Nissy’s birthday too. And Misako was like... “Huh, really? I almost forgot Nissy’s birthday is on the same month.” jokingly xD
They threw the autographed ball during MUSIC and bid farewell after that >_<
AAA ASIA TOUR 2016 Fanclub Event (09/04/2016)
Luckily, we got the front row that day. Right in front of Hidaka would be seated (again) lol. From the stage view, the seating (left to right) was Hidaka-Shuta-Chiaki-Naoya-Nissy-Misako-Shinjiro, then the translator. Misako and Shinjiro did the MC, along with the translator. There were 2 main corners: Question Corner and Games Corner.
Firstly, members introduced themselves in order of seating. During Hidaka's introduction, someone shouted Kamisama again. He answered in English, “Yes, your God is here. Trust me. I’m always in your heart.“ I laughed too much because he looked like he started to love the nickname. He also said “Let’s have a good time!” in English.
Nissy introduced himself by spelling his name again. Then Shinjiro said (in English), today they will be in full English so Nissy should introduce himself and talk in English. Nissy looked like he wants to give up but he re-did his introduction. “I’m Takahiro Nishijima. I came from Japan. I like sushi. Trust me.” He said while imitating Hidaka. Everyone shouted “Kawaiii, kawaiii!” lol
Question Corner
Q1: What members have become when they are drunk? (Members took the turn to answer about the person beside him/her)
Nissy to Naoya: Skinship devil.
Naoya to Chiaki: Chatty and her voice getting louder eventhough they talk in close range.
Chiaki to Shuta: Become like a puppy.
Shuta to Hidaka: Can hold liquor well. When drunk, he's chatty, laughing a lot, then suddenly asleep.
Shuta told the story when he and Hidaka got drunk together. They entered Starbucks to order coffee. Hidaka spilled the hot coffee all over the table even before they get a sip because he was asleep xD
Hidaka to Nissy: Never-ending rounds until 6 AM.
Hidaka said he and Nissy recently met up and drinking together. They talked about various things. Everytime the topic had finished, they moved on to the next topic. Then they unconsciously talked about the finished topics over and over until morning.
Misako: Laughing, dancing, and suddenly feeling depressed then curling up her body. So cute xD
Shinjiro: Never get drunk because he never drink liquor at all. Even just a sip, he said he will throw up
Nissy said everyone has their own way of drinking. He tends to follow the pace of his drinking buddy. Naoya is drinking while encouraging his buddy to drink more. Chiaki is drinking without limit. Shuta keeps changing place while getting on the next round of drinking. Hidaka is drinking with his own pace. If he wants to talk more, he won’t let his drinking buddy get drunk until he’s satisfied.
Q2: What sport everyone wants to do in the future?
Hidaka: Swimming
Shuta: Badminton
Chiaki: Boxing
Naoya: Soccer.. coach (everyone laughed)
Nissy: Archery (he said this in English, everyone was like “Whoa *__*” lol)
Misako: Table tennis
Shinjiro: Wall climbing
Sport they want to do as a whole AAA is relay race.
Chiaki said, most of the members were originally in the track and field club except Misako. So, they are surely fast except for Misako lol.
Misako suggested they should do relay race together with the fans next time.
Games Corner
1st Game: Guess what's in the box.
They should guess what’s the thing in the box by merely touching them.
They couldn’t see what’s in the box. Each turn, Shinjiro held the box first to show the contain to audience.
There’s punishment game for the person who lost: spell his/her name with shirimoji (with his/her butt)
Each box contained things about Singapore. Box 1: Racing car. Box 2: Elephant. Box 3: Singapore Orchid (the national flower of Singapore). Box 4: Merlion miniature. Box 5: Mangosteen.
In Naoya’s turn, the clue for his box: the thing is so leader-alike. When he guessed it right, Naoya said he’s indeed a night-time Merlion. During the day, he’s Urata Naoya and AAA’s leader but during the night, he’s a Merlion lol.
Because they got their answers right, Shinjiro asked them all to spell AAA name with shirimoji but Nissy complained. In the end, they decided the MCs (Misako-Shinjiro) + Nissy will do it.
When audience called his name to draw shirimoji, Nissy was like.. “I guessed it right! Why I have to show my butt? I want to see yours too!”
Misako shushed him, “Stop it, the women are shy.” Then Nissy did his weird face again during his turn to draw shirimoji
2nd Game: Janken - Acchi Muite Hoi.
They changed the name into English: "Scissors, Paper, Stone. Hey, look that way!"
They did janken first to decide the pair. The janken took a lot of time because Shuta kept throwing the rock lol. The pairs: Naoya vs Shuta, Hidaka vs Uno, Nissy vs Chiaki.
Naoya vs Shuta: Shuta won easily.
Nissy vs Chiaki: The pair was so cute. They took a long time and finally Nissy won.
Misako vs Hidaka: Misako said there’s no way she would win if her opponent is a Kamisama. Then she asked for blessing from Hidaka and Hidaka acted like he gave his blessing to Misako before they started. And then, Misako won over the Kamisama only in their first turn! Shuta said, “Kamisama is so weak.” Everyone laughed.
There’s surprise after the games corner. They will do janken battle with audience and 3 fans who won will get autographed t-shirt. Sadly, we didn’t win >_< After that, they performed YELL for the audience and bid their farewell. But then the staff announced there will be another surprise: hi-touch with all members! So they lined up the audience and everyone got their hi-touch with members.
I can’t remember clearly the line and what members said when doing the hi-touch. Some of them said “Otsukaresama”, “Arigato”, “Thank you” but I can’t remember who said it lol. I was too excited and kept thinking if it was a dream or not xD
Got this postcard too!
My impression from the FC event is they’re so professional and friendly! Though I know some of them must be nervous because it’s the first fanclub event they ever had for the international fans, but they did well. Along the event, they became relaxed and started talking and laughing without any worry (hopefully). Nissy admitted he was so nervous and didn’t know what and how to talk, but after seeing the audience’s laugh and responses made him more relaxed.
That’s all I can remember from the event last week. Thank you for reading and sorry for the long post. It was one of memorable days I’ve ever had >_<
