THANKS auntyjo for sharing such a detailed and full of emotion Fan Account.  This is the next best thing for us who cannot see him perform live.  Great pics as well and it is so nice of you to include the band. 

To quote Ms D …. this is a MUST READ FA ……….

Firstly, major thanks to a certain lady, God-sent with a spare ticket when i asked for the possibility of getting a ticket.

Here’s my feel on my very first concert ever in Japan….

Part1:

the photos and the fancams posted so far are fantastic but i tell you, truly truly, they simply don’t convey the reason i got goosebumps on the 1st minute after the arena lights dimmed.

The moment the light dimmed, lightsticks lit, a sea of green within a second, the whole arena on their feet. Within the first bar of Heat, the audience cheered and even cheered even louder when hyunjoong’s voice was heard. The adrenalin rush was electrifying and in listening to his strong delivery, was certain his adrenalin had shot past the arena ceiling. i had goosebumps within that minute. and it was because of the audience, not the singer yet.

While i’ve not seen his concerts in taiwan nor korea, my guess is the japanese fans are unparalleled, unrivalled. i doubt any other country’s audience stands for two hours nonstop, wave lightsticks coordinated for two hours. It is so amazing. Which artiste having such an audio visual response won’t come back for more? It is far far far beyond gratitude. It is not the japanese fans who are lucky. It is hyunjoong who is so very lucky to have such fans.

Heat was a great kickstart to the evening. The fans rose to it like no other song though Love like This came a close second. Which surprised me later on because i never expected that the japanese fans like Love like This this major much. Anyways, back to sequence, Rize Up kept the momentum going. (haiz, i was such a coward in not giving in to my impulse to jump to that song). Save Today and I’m Yours sounds better on stage than on CD. i particularly liked the vibe in I’m Yours.

But the first rendition that gave me goosebumps was surprisingly, Because I’m Stupid. Frankly i never fancied that song. i don’t dislike it nor like it. BUT, this round, maybe because it was a fan’s request, he sang it so slow and mellow. WAH. the feeling…. i stopped waving my lightstick and held it to my heart. (indescribable)

The next round of goosebumps came with his If You’re Like Me. my all-time fave ballad by him.

Part2.

It’s amusing how much hyunjoong wants to rock the stage as a band singer but then it’s like he misses dancing to music as well. at the end of Smile, i think he was wishing us to ask him to dance a bit, and so then the three seconds of butt dance on stage right (arena left). i was delighted to see him let go a bit of dance during Do You Like That. i sorely miss watching him dance to DYLT and Lucky Guy. love the cheeky choreo to bits.

Part3:

This is just my feel, ok…. so don’t shoot me for what i say next. it seemed as though his voice buckled towards the end of I’m Your Man. and so then the next few songs sounded like he was struggling to keep it together. which was a pity because i had looked forward to hearing my all-time dance fave, PBNTM. i had liked how the original angst matched the original sharp moves. i liked even better the jazzy version which he did in the goodbye concert for Playful Kiss. i miss the necktie dance part and the rap that went with it. Anyways, the start of PBNTM was soft and i liked it. but then soon he went back to the original angst. The rap part potentially sounds good. probably a few more concerts later he would have nailed it.

Part4

The video break was good. When he came back, voice rested, with Love like This, the fans’ response of loud cheers was a second adrenalin rush.

but it was not Love like This but LMBTO that got me missing SS501′s harmonising. it really made them five as one. i miss the way their voices gelled.

Encore

i was glad to hear Your Story sung again, this time with his strength back. i love the vibe he gives… ‘i’m saying goodbye but i’m not letting you go.’ Which, when followed by hyper interactive U, made him a Badass Uzoosin. He left us high and dry. Hyunjoong left the stage saying ‘thank you’ continuously as though he was apologising he had a train to catch. 

here are my pics for saitama before nagoya kicks off later this evening.

I just love this particular pic.  Seeing him in the midst of tens of thousands spectators is just overwhelming for me.  So proud of my Angel.

pics of band and backup singers are a must. without them, no music. (these are taken off the video screen)

First time someone posted pics of the band.  A really good idea.

watch the red balloon burst…. (kiss kiss)

an earlier big balloon had burst, and there were fans holding onto the small white balloons, waving them to the music

@SAITAMA SUPER ARENA

I Miss You - Updating My Thoughts : Will I Get to See Jung Woo and Soo Yeon When Snow Falls Again Next Winter?

I Miss You is in it's final 2 episodes. The climax is building. My anticipation is making me restless. Will I have a happy ending or will the writer give me reasons to cry even if the series is long wrapped up? 

The image of the prologue on episode 17 still lingers in my mind clearly. Jung Woo is running, perhaps after Soo Yeon, then the last part which makes me sad was seeing him lying on an abandoned place, perhaps a warehouse, alone, tears rolling down his face and a wound, a shot on his temple.

I am wondering where the writer would take me? Is this going to be the final scene for Jung Woo? What about my happy ending? The I MISS YOU part? 

Now, if I believe that this is going to be the ending, then the anticipation will really turn sour. Just my thoughts. But there are still 2 episodes and the writer can think of many scenes yet and how the ending should be. Is her mind set already? I hope not. I have watched and waited earnestly every week for the development of this drama. Though I am very thankful for the romantic scenes so far, the hugging and the kisses. They sure gave me a reason to be hopeful and to be addicted not only to the drama but to the characters, Soo yeon and Jung Woo, and also to the real persons, PYC and YEH.:))

I want to give credit to the writer for the character of Harry aka Kang Hyung Jun. Though there is still something amiss, and puzzling regarding the relationship of Harry and Han Tae Jun, I know it will be revealed in the next episode. Harry's character is complicated. It borders on being emotionally damaged and psychologically ill person. His past gave him weakness instead of positivity in life. He lives to take revenge. There was never any guilt on his part about what he has done to Detective Kim. And I wonder if the life he led with Nurse Jung was not as his mother hoped for. His passion is to put every one in pain, like what he had and still suffering. As a viewer, I think that he is holding on to Soo Yeon not because he loves her, but because he needed someone to care for him. And he found it in Soo Yeon. Her feeling of betrayal then, he fed on it. To make her believe that they were abandoned, not just him alone.

And now, it seemed that Harry aka Hyung Jun has [multi] personality disorder. He sees himself, talks to himself. And this is scary. Really! The writer has made him crazy and as a viewer, there's no turning back. He can't redeem himself now. It would be unbelievable if suddenly he overcome his weakness. Because before he can do it, he needs medical attention first.

Now back to Jung Woo and Soo Yeon. Before, my mind was thinking...yeah, yeah, either of these two will die in the end. Just like the scene where Soo Yeon was walking beside Harry and then she disappeared, like the wind.

But then, in episode  18, I was hopeful once again. Jung Woo asked Soo Yeon what she will do on the first day of snow. Remember that they have not had any opportunity yet to spend the first snow together since 14 years ago. And I wonder why the writer keeps on writing these lines if there will be no opportunity to have it together. It would be meaningless to always wonder about these things that will never happen. So I think that since winter has already came now, Jung Woo and Soo Yeon will look forward to next winter when first day of snow comes, together. It's like symbolism. After the storm comes the sun. In this story, the writer perhaps loves winter. 

I don't mind if the story leap to another year as long as they are living happily together. I want Jung Woo to realize his dream. His 6 children and some more.:))

This scene is so heartwarming, how Jung Woo describes what every man's contentment. Let him realize and feel his dream. Jebal Pdnim...writer...this is so good I have to see it for myself. 

I am still hopeful and positive that all will end beautifully. After all the hurt and pains, they deserve a happy ending. A romantic ending.
