If someone asks me what would I miss the most in Japan, it won't be the food, the place, it will be the convenience of being able to move around easily and...

LIVE EVENTS.

ROCK IN JAPAN is an event filled with music loving people. Most of the people just dance along with whatever music they heard, and you can't help but dancing along too, especially being a Japanese music fan for so many years.

Short report:


Sound of Forest stage. I could see YUI clearly from the place I stood. It was torturing though, people squeezing each other. That's show how popular YUI is.

1. Laugh away
2. Ame agari no yozora ni (Imawano Kiyoshiro cover)
3. Rolling star
4. Love is all
5. I'll be
6. again
7. ZOO (one chorus, Kawamura Kaori cover)
8. Sea

Live report from official website with MOE pictures.

The moment YUI appeared on the stage, at first everyone was stunned for 2 seconds, then I could hear KAWAII~~~~~~~~~~ here and there. I couldn't believe my eyes too. Too kawaii to be true. YUI, was in front of my eyes.

Somehow I was hoping to see the normal T-shirt and jeans YUI, instead of wearing folded up yukata with heavier make up, since this is our first meeting with each other.

But once YUI started to talk, you will know it for sure that she's the same YUI who we've been supporting for years, slightly more outspoken which made all of us shocked when she made such remark:

YUI: I've shaved my armpit hair. =O

I didn't know the word armpit hair in Japanese so I guess she was saying that she had make 'protections' to prevent revealing her 'flesh' from the side of the yukata. The sleeves of the yukata are quite wide so if you are not careful enough, it'll get pretty sexy. If you know what I mean haha.

Then someone in the audience said "Check it out, check it out" and everybody burst out laughing. I didn't know why when I was there but after knowing the armpit hair remark, everything started to make sense LOL. So cute.

It's sweet that YUI chose to make tribute for the two artists who had just passed away recently. ZOO acoustic version (with a bit drums) was LOVE. YUI sounds brilliant when she plays acoustic stuff.

Before YUI I went to see Perfume at GRASS Stage, skipped Chatmonchy though =/


GRASS stage is so much bigger than Sound of Forest, with two big screens.

Perfume is love. Their MC was super hilarious. It was so fun dancing along with their well known songs, just ignore the fact that they are lip syncing.

I will write a detailed report once I'm back in Malaysia. Going back tomorrow =.=

Yeah I didn't get to wear Kikino's shirt =/ Long story. The package was few hours late. Sorry Kevin ><



Today I'll wear the normal one to show my Japanese friends.

Finally, check it out (lol) the well waited YUI-Lover collaboration 3 at YL. The details of the booklet done by Kikino can be found on his blog. Impressive stuff.

Waiting for your comments on the collaboration! Please visit Kikino's blog or tell him directly if you appreciate all the hard work he have done. I was the one who started this project but in the end Kikino and depyon has to finish up all the mess I've done, really sorry about that...

Last day in Japan!!
