Hands Are Stands
We have hands; we can stand on them if we want to. That’s our privilege. That’s the joy of a mortal body.

The other day, Keiko apologised on Yodel for still not really having any proper news/announcements for us. A while back she teased that there would be some news in mid March so naturally, everyone was hoping for a new release or live but unfortunately, it was nothing substantial, just stuff in relation to the sports festival. She is busy finding input/inspiration so she can provide a solid output for us. She asks us to be patient a little while longer.
Tristone Fan Fes 2025 ~UNDOKAI~Keiko's Performance
As mentioned in THIS POST, Keiko didn't get to participate in most of the more physically challenging activities due to a minor leg injury. She did however take part in a few games that didn't require her to move a lot. She did a bit of ball-throwing in Game #1 but the cameras didn't really linger on her. She was part of Game #3 which was basically some sort of scavenger hunt (ahhhh, to be one of the people in the audience right on the field!!) After the intermission, the artists got to perform a mini-live together. Keiko sang a short version of “Yuuyami no Uta/夕闇のうた”. Wish her performance had been longer but she rocked the venue!! Loved that she had a little "outfit-change". Those jeans look fantastic on her! Then she had a minor role in Game #6 (relay quiz) helping a team member into their costume. In total, I would say she was probably featured around 15-20 minutes (out of 4 hours).
Tristone UNDOKAI held at Saitama Super Arena on Saturday, March 15, 2025, was recorded and is currently being broadcast on the platform “Stagecrowd”. An archived video will be available until March 31. They actually have a separate link for overseas fans so that’s pretty neat. I had no issue buying my ticket so if you are interested in this event, be sure to use the opportunity!! It was a lot more fun than expected.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a way yet to download the whole thing (total runtime is 4 hours). So far I have only managed to screen record snippets.
Tristone Fan Fes 2025 ~UNDOKAI~TEAM GREEN Promo
The other day, we got some snippets from an elaborate photo shoot. Now we also have a short promo video to get in the mood for the upcoming event. I am still hoping they will eventually release some of that material. They can't possibly have invested so much time and money into a photo shoot just to release a short promo video. I want a broadcast or home video release or at least a pamphlet/photo book. Give me something, please!!!

Ahhhhh!! Keiko's acrylic stand is SO CUTE!!! It's so evil that there is a different design for the group acrylics. I want both but I don't wanna pay 15,000 yen for that group thingy T_T.

運動会 (Undokai)
My kindergarten niece and nephew invited me to watch their Undokai, which is some kind of a sports fest, but is really a "fun-filled day with an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration"...
I had so much fun watching this. It was a very cute experience of Japanese culture. Haha.
