Thanks - they were fun! Though the setlist is...
- Spoiler:
around a 7, in my opinion. "Gunjou pleats" is a rather mellow song and not a great concert opener, and the repetition of having a mellow song and then a hype one right after that doesn't really sustain a constant high level of energy. Lots of peaks and valleys. Still a fun time, though.
Where was the sound best?
idk lol all the venues sounded the same to me. It is pretty loud being in front of RINA's drums, though.
What stood out for you?
Probably the different formation they have on stage. It's cool that RINA's now up front with the others, but due to that, it seems like they move around a little less than usual.
What was your impression of the after-show photo sessions?
It's just them standing there for a minute or so doing different poses and waving to the crowd, so it's just okay. It also sucks for those further away than the first few rows since you're not able to see that clearly with all of the phones in the way. The furthest I was away from the stage at any of the shows I went to was about 5 rows, and even then it was difficult to film. But it's cool that Japanese crowds get to photograph/film them at concerts for a change.
I also did get a wave and point directly from HARU at the Nagoya and Osaka shows, so that was cool lol
How were the crowds?
They were okay. Nagoya seemed like the most pumped/excited, at least where I was. It was the only time I experienced pushing.
How much stuff did you bring back? (lol)
Not much lol. Only a few items. Not big on buying lots of stuff when traveling.
