I'm going to attempt to write a full and proper review, looking off the random ramblings and squealings that I originally posted after the show. I can never seem to form proper sentences after seeing Kimeru ^^;;; Here goes!!

I started the day loading on sunscreen, as I had a feeling that I would be spending a LOT of time outside. I had a secret hope that in some way, Play-Land would somehow manage to be inside. I was partially right...

Jamie and I left at around 10-ish to meet up with everyone outside the Shibuya station. We met up with Miyu, Eda, Michelle, Aloni, and Claudia (ah, was there anyone else? I can't remember...). We had quite a walk to AX and it was VERY hot. The sun was just beating down brutally and even though I had dressed as light as I could (a skirt and a shirt) I was still sweating X_x. Gross!!

When we got to AX, the line was already VERY long. And pretty much it was for the Goods-Land, and not without a reason: they were selling SO MUCH of his old tour goods! Eda broke out her 100 yen umbrella and we attempted to take cover under it, but it didn't fit all the people ^^;;;. A lot of people started to get sunburnt. I was a little red, but it didn't hurt ^^;; The line eventually started moving and they handed out sheets of paper to write down what you wanted to buy on. I thought it was a really good idea, as they had SO much!! I got pretty much one of everything except for things from his Pleasure! tour, since I already had that from March ^^. After quite a while, we finally got to the goods table, and the poor girl had to gather up my things ^^;;; she had to run all over the place! Then, when seeing how cute the sticker set was... I wanted one more T_T. Eda asked for me. I felt SO bad for the poor people behind us who had to wait. The total came to around ¥30000 ($300). And people think I'm kidding when I say Kimeru owns my wallet!

Eda and I decided to find some relief from the sun and went inside AX. They had Kimeru's "Answer will come" PV playing on some video monitors there, and inside was nice (and air conditioned!!). They had the Gacha Gacha machines in there (I got like, three bunnies and a chibi and one large one of him ^^). We took some pictures of the Photo History display (I took a video, it made the pictures turn out better), then I took a picture with one of the cardboard Kimerus ^^;;;;;. I felt like a dork. Eventually we went outside to find the others.

Most of the others were playing the games outside. I was running realllllly low on money, so I didn't want to chance a game and get the same prize over and over again: at least with my extra buttons I could give them to my sister who wanted some ^^;. I dunno what I'd do with 5 toothbrushes!! Jamie won one of the rare Photosets!! It was from K's Ark. Eventually we decided to find a place to sit and eat, so we went to the restaurant right around AX. They had yummy sandwhiches!! Then we went to Starbucks until the doors started to open. Then it was a rush to get back to AX!

We stashed out stuff in a coin locker and got there right about when our numbers were called. Because it was ssoooo hot and I wasn't feeling so great, I decided to creep to the back and hang out with Eda there. I didn't feel quite like being in the middle ^^;;. They had Maroon 5 playing over the speakers while we waited for the show to start, and I was lipsynching at Eda XD. Then we played the Alphabet Game with TeniMyu ^^. We occupied ourselves quite well until the concert started.

It started with Yoshihisa coming out and having us chant "K I M E R U" and clap. Everyone sort of ppuuusshhh up, and we ended up a little closer than we were before, but we still had a lot of space around us. I could feel the airconditioning well, and it felt soooo good ^^;;. Eventually, Kimeru struted out onstage in a white tanktop with a black cross on the front, white armbands, and a pair of funky jeans. And of course, his wild hair that sort of sticks out everywhere ^^;; He looked super nice!

The concert started with Answer will come. I have to admit that it wasn't until I saw this live that it grew on me! It was realllly energenic. He sang The Pleasure of Love next, which is so much fun! I can't help but jump around during that song XD. Then it was You got game?, and naturally everyone sang along! ^^

He had a short MC after this before going into Overlap, beat a path, and CHAIN OF MIND. Kimeru gets SO emotional when singing CHAIN OF MIND: he started to cry. He had another MC, then launched into DECIDE ~first gate and Prism.

After another short MC, they started playing this insane sort of techno happy poppy dance music that had me sort of confused. Kimeru went WILD on stage, dancing and hopping all around, and you couldn't help but do the same! Then the music calmed down and he started singing, and then I finally realized what it was! It was Make You Free, but Eda said it was a Summer Eruption sort of version. I didn't really like it so much, I think I'm too used to the regular or STYLE 004 version. Maybe I just have to get used to it! After that was Be Shiny. I'm not sure how he takes this inspirational song and makes it so SEXY, but he does. I think they double the bass or something, but when he sings it it takes your breath away.

Kimeru's next MC was long! He discussed a lot of things, all of which Eda had to translate in my ear ^^;;; but then he did something TOTALLY surprising and asked where his foreign fans were at!!!! Only our group, who had split into three different groups, were the foreigners I guess ^^;;; (at least we were the only ones that cheered). He asked where we were from, and we all shouted out where. I jumped up and down and yelled, and he looked at me and smiled. Ahh, I look like a nerd when I do that ^^;;;;; oh well. He asked if we actually lived there, but no one quite got it! m(_ _)m. He then asked Eiji to translate for him!!! Eiji got up to his microphone and asked "Do you live in Japan?". I shouted out no while Eda shouted yes, and Miyu screamed in Japanese "SUMMER VACATION!". Kimeru complimented her on her Japanese! ^_^. He then went around making people speak in English ^^!!!! He said "I am Kimeru", and we all applauded and yelled. Ken said "FUCKING GREAT" and I HAD to cheer loudly for THAT one! (Ken is so cool!). He tried to get Shinsuke to, and coaxed and coaxed him, and eventually Shinsuke got up to the mic and said!!! "Omae wa Shinsuke desu" or something similar ^^;;; way to go Shinsuke! XD Kimeru also mentioned, to my MAJOR MAJOR DELIGHT, being invited to Otakon!!!! But since Otakon was running RIGHT THEN (it was the same weekend as his Tokyo live), he couldn't go -_-. I HOPE NEXT YEAR!!! ^__________________^

Eventually Kimeru realized he was talking and rambling a lot, and then told everyone we're going to make it Spring! He then sang Pink, which is my FAVORITE song, and I cried ^^;;;;. That song brings back so many good memories!! He then sang, to my MAJOR delight, VOYAGE. it was SOOOOO GOOD! I really wish they would have put it on the K's Ark DVD. I hope it comes out on CD soon!! Then he sang Stand Up! -break away-, which was actually the first time I had heard that song ^^;; (I didn't really browse the internet while I was in Japan x.x). I LOVED it!!

Then it was Mirrorball and then my absolute FAVORITE song live: KEY OF LIFE. That song is SOOOOO wild live!! I was jumping all over the place. He introduced his band members (I clapped loudest for Ken) and had us sing the chorus! "DON'T MAKE ME CRY NOW! YOU MAKE ME FEEL GOOD! YUME MITAI NA!". I LOVE IT!!

They all went offstage and took their encore break, and we all shouted KIMERU! But they kept getting faster and faster and eventually it stopped and started up again. He came out eventually in his SUMMER ERUPITON tour shirt, and the rest of the band joined him. He sang Feel My Soul, and then talked about Answer will come, and how he gets so many sad letters from his fans that make him sad :(. He taught us some hand movements for Answer will come before singing it again. When he sings "dakara HIKARI NI hi WO TSUKERU", you hold up your right hand, then left, bring your two pointer fingers together (Kimeru: "Like E.T.!"), and then flik your fingers out and move your hands away like an explosion. Then, when he sings "dakara KOKORO WO yuSABUTTE!", you hold up your right hand, then your left, put both hands over your heart and rub ("shake") around and then hold your left arm out. Kimeru had quite a long... "hentai" talk about this move, as it had us rubbing our chests ^^;;;;; XD

His final song was Answer will come before the concert finally ended. He spent a long time saying thank you to everyone. He has this way of making you feel like he's looking directly at you, even if he probably isn't. He took so long saying thank you that his band tried to sneak off!! But they all took their last bow before leaving.

Some random moments during his many MCs:
- His variations of "Are you having fun?" He asked if the girls were having fun, the guys, people with glasses, people with contacts, perverted people, and then non-perverted people. He called the nonperverted ones liars, as we're all a little perverted! ^^
- Kimeru pointed out some of the VIPs: Mamoru and Sota! But when we all were waving at Sota, Kimeru pouted and stomped his foot, complaining that it was HIS live XD. You knew he was just kidding, but it was so cute!
- Yoshihisa would like to thank all of us, as we help him eat ^^
- Kimeru was talking about Play-Land, when some started complaining: I think Eda said it was because it was so hot. Kimeru told us to "shut up" in English XD. I never heard him speak in English before besides what he says in his songs, it surprised me and made me laugh ^^

We did Demachi that night: there wasn't too many people. He drove off in his car and waved MADLY and said "Thank You!!". He even leaned out the window and waved as he drove away ^^ He's so nice~~~

The next day, we decided to get there just maybe an hour or two before the doors opened for the live. After the agony of yesterday ^^;;; Eventually we went into the livehouse. This time, since it was my last day there and I knew I wouldn't be able to see his next tour, I stood in the middle instead of in the back. When the live started, though, we got PUSHED up!! The next thing I knew, we were, like, 20 or even less feet from the stage, and it was HOOOTTTT. Our whole group somehow stayed together through the frenzy, and yet AGAIN, Kimeru said Hello! This time, he walked RIGHT up to the edge of the stage and looked STRAIGHT at us ^^;;;;; he asked where we were from again, but pretty much everyone there was there the day before too. He didn't talk to us as long as he did before, but it was still so so so much of a nice surprise!! It was a little embarrassing though, because as soon as he called attention to us, EVERYONE turned around and stared ^^;;;;;;.

The set was the same as it was the day before: Kimeru wore a pink and black tanktop this time though. Cute points of this show!
- Eiji kept trying to give Kimeru a crate to stand on so he could reach his microphone when Kimeru gave his mic to someone else to talk XD. It was SO funny!! At one point, Eiji shoved Kimeru over so he could run off stage to get the crate, and Kime gets up and kicks it offstage. It's ssoooo great!
- Kimeru talked about the many presents he gets from overseas fans. I'm not sure if he mentioned the ones we send him though, we didn't get all of it :\

Overall... the BEST! I love Kime's concerts, they give me so much energy. But then, for weeks afterwards I really want to see him again ^^;;; sort of like going through withdrawls of Kimeru. I can't make it to his winter show, but I hope to see him again in the Spring/Summer of 06! (Maybe even in America? I can only hope ^^;)
