170930 ZHOUMI FANMEETING at Yamano Hall, Yoyogi, Tokyo - 1st show
It was a week ago and I was so excited, so maybe I missed some parts or contents during the fanmeeting. I do not guarantee accuracy but I try to write what was happened in the show.
It was sunny and partly cloudy, no raining. This is first ZHOUMI’s fee-paying solo stage in the world, in his 9 years of career. I went to the venue around 11:00 to buy fanmeeting merchandise. There were around 10 people already. I went to merchandise selling counter at 11:30 which is opening time, they plays songs from ZHOUMI solo album (I listened to Without You) and selling ZHOUMI merchandise. It was unbelievable for me, it was a dream for all Mitang including me.
Entrance (inside) merchandises are beautifully displayed
Merchandises are - Glasses, Dorayaki (Doraemon’s fav sweets, Japanese style pancake filled with red beans), Key ring and Blanket.
I ordered merchandise thru ELF JAPAN internet shopping site, my friend bought all merchandises (one each) and received receipt as below :
After friend bought merchandises, we had lunch and having chat with Mitang - it was very nice moment, we only talk about ZHOUMI.
We lined up on queue around 13:45 and entered the hall. Seat assignment is randomly. But the hall is small around 900 seats. My seats was around 23 -24th row, however it was closer than I saw ZHOUMI from arena B block in Tokyo Dome.
14:30 starts VCR (made with previous MV, Super Show video etc), with What’s Your Number? instrumental
♪What’s Your Number? (Chinese) - with 4 Japanese dancers
Female MC appeared on the stage and introduced ZHOUMI. ZHOUMI greeted in Japanese. MC said ZHOUMI’s parents came to see the stage today. ZHOUMI talked in Chinese, MC talked in Japanese. MC’s Japanese was translated into Chinese by Chinese translator, ZHOUMI’s Chinese was translated into Japanese by Japanese translator.
Question from MC to ZHOUMI
ZHOUMI hates insects when shooting dama, it was outside, lot of insects. Previously when he was singing on stage, insect flies, he was afraid of the insects if it goes into his mouth then he forgot lyrics. ZHOUMI hates mantis very much.
Important thing for man is self-confidence. ZHOUMI does excercise when he has time. ZHOUMI said body must be beautiful like clothes so he always keep beautiful.
Place where ZHOUMI wants to go in Japan - MC asked audience where ZHOUMI should go in Japan, someone said Daikanyama (many nice and beautiful cafe and boutiques in there), MC said it is good to go for ZHOUMI, really suits his taste. ZHOUMI said he wants to go to the place where fans are there.
Doraemon ZHOUMI loves Doraemon, he started to watch Doraemon since 4 or 5 years old. He wants ‘anywhere door’ and wants to see Japanese fans,
Question from audience to ZHOUMI
Audience who has a question to ZHOUMI hanging up the hand, ZHOUMI picked 3-4 people. After asking question ZHOUMI hugged them. Zhoumi came down to the seating area and pick up by himself. He walked from the front to the end, and lot of audiences could see him so close. When he listened to the question, he looked the questioner’s face very well so it seems all questioners are so nervous.
‘have you ever been to doraemon park in hokkaido?’ ZHOUMI never been to Hokkaido yet.
‘my niece is ZHOUMI fan (some of audience is above 40 years old or more, it is very common in Japan), she studied Chinese but she could not come because of her job, can you marry her?’ ZHOUMI asked to give her phone number after fanmeeting.
Dam Curry. What is Dam Curry? Search web. Anyway ZHOUMI made Dam Curry. He sliced carrot and potato very thin which is unusual for curry. MC asked why such thin, ZHOUMI said this is Chinese style (is this true?). During he was making curry, cooked curry came as curry requires long cooking time. ZHOUMI used he cooked curry to make Dam Curry. After completion, it was successfully came out the curry sauce from the other side.
ZHOUMI cooked Dam Curry (right)
Audience should choose Yes (〇) or No(×) before ZHOUMI begins each of game, by using the card which was provided before the fanmeeting starts. The winner of 5 people get selfie with ZHOUMI.

Kicking mini ball to the target - again ZHOUMI failed

♪ Himawari no Yakusoku (by Hata Motohiro) - (original version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXTo49Qo-9E
ZHOUMI said every time he sings this song it makes him cry when ending. MC left and ZHOUMI went to back stage.

‘This fanmeeting was decided during drama shooting, I started to prepare songs and Japanese wording since August this year.’
‘When Japanese fans saw me they ask me ‘are you ZHOUMI?’. they are so cute. I do shake-hand or hug them.’

My first stage in overseas was Japan. I appreciate Japanese fans coz they are supporting since the early stage of my career.’
ZHOUMI returned to stage with black suits
