Kirafes 2024 (some Miyu-related trivia)
It's the last Kirafes with Miyu (though he may make guest appearances in the future). Unfortunately, I couldn't attend it (as I will go to his solo live in June and I can only afford one trip to Japan). But I was following the tweets and social media posts of the lucky fans who attended it. Here are some things they shared.

During the last part of Eguchi's song Good Unite Infinity, Miyu and Kamiya-san appeared on stage (both wearing a GUI-T-Shirt), cornering Egu from left and right. Miyu then tried to wrestle Egu in a nelson hold, but...
Kamiya-san suddenly turned around and grabbed Miyu from behind instead.
Egu then leaned closer (Miyu: "He approached with a scary face."). And sucked Miyu on his neck. (Audience screaming)
Miyu, after finally being able to free himself from them, made a victory pose, while Egu and Kamiya-san were grinning behind him.
Later, during the MC part, they talked about how this was secretly planned (nothing better as a farewell gift than to prank Miyu on his last Kirafes. Kamiya-san surely never misses a chance to tease Miyu. And this is a rare chance for Egu to get back at Miyu. 😁)
Egu: "Yesterday evening, Kamiya-san said to me: 'Let's target Miyu!'" (Miyu to Kamiya-san: "Traitor!")
Miyu: "I thought he was going to kiss me on the cheek, but he sucked on my neck!"
Egu: "I wanted to suck his blood."
Nobu: "Actually, Egu suggested yesterday: 'How about feeding him water from the (stage) water bottle through mouth-to-mouth.'"
Egu: "But I couldn't find one, and I was like 'Damn! There's no water bottle!', so I couldn't do it." (← yeah... a shame...😆)
Kamiya-san: "I was a bit scared because Egu said that he could suddenly switch the target to me!"
Egu: *laughs*
Kamiya-san: "If he did that I've would sticked my tongue into his mouth! He would not be able to recover from it!"
Ryohei-kun: "Let's stop this talk, shall we!"
KAmiYU pounded Mochi on stage. (Credits to @i_sakura on X.)
They performed a new song called Mellow! Mellow!.
And they said that this may not be their last performance as KAmiYU! 😊
Kamiya-san: "Next year, there will be no RED (Irino Miyu). It still doesn't feel real to me. Miyu has been always the one to take my hand and pull me along with him. That's how I got where I am now. But before I knew, the day has come to let go of this hand. I never thought I would end up being by myself one day... Upstairs, they said that it's okay to continue as KAmiYU, but there's no fixed date yet. We may wander off on different paths, but KAmiYU may be at the end of these paths. No matter where this would be, I will follow the path that leads to me to KAmiYU."
Miyu: "Yes, but who knows, it may be next year.... Kamiya-san, how old would you be next year?"
Kamiya-san: "I'm 49 now, so I will be 50 next year."
Miyu: "Let's celebrate (by coming back as KAmiYU)."
Kamiya-san: "Hey! You want to use my 50th birthday as the occasion for a comeback?!... On my birthday this year, this guy left a message on my answering machine, singing 'Happy Birthday' in a very low voice, like it was for a funeral."
When they were singing Kiramune☆All Stars song, Kakki put his arm around Miyu's shoulder very tightly. Miyu: "I fell in love with Kakki in that instant!" (Credit to @enjoyfuuuu63 on X)
Miyu was riding the bycicle (just like 10 years ago) during the Medley part of MASCLETA → だって愛は半端ないじゃない → BANANA—NA,BOAT! → MASCLETA. (Kirafes 2014 → bycicle, KF 2019 → rollerboard, KF 2023 → chasing Egu with a smoke gun)
Miyu about him leaving Kiramune: "Yes, it is scary for me too. But when I feel like challenging myself, I can't help it but go for it. That's how I am."
Miyu and Nobu danced together to Miyu's song Life dancer. Nobu posted on X and IG several pictures, thanking everyone. And tagged the IG post with: "Miyu-kun, thank you for inviting me to join you in Life dancer!""It was such fun! Thank you, Miyu-kun! I love you! Let's do it again!" (X, IG)
