This is
going to suck.
For sure, this is going to suck.
Ahhhhhh,
ottoke...
I honestly
have no words to express how epic this show was. Even for memorable events such
as these, I have the shortest attention span and memory in the history of
humanity, so I don't remember important details, such as the order of the songs
and the color of Junsu's underwear.
Wait, what?
Anyway, I
had to get up super early to catch the 6:36 train to Yokohama. For once in my
life, I didn't get lost during my transfers, yay! This was hands-down the
shortest train ride in my whole life (it was actually the longest, but it felt
like it lasted only one second). I was playing Pokemon Y (meeting tons of
people, two days after the game's
release, hehe) and time went by so quickly! I safely got to Yokohama
around 10-ish without any major problems, but I was worried about not being
able to find the venue, so I headed there right away. Only to find around
11-ish that there was already a queue long enough to go all around Yokohama
Arena (and then some!). I later found out after waiting in line for two hours
with an extremely heavy backpack weighing down on my shoulders that the queue
was only for the merch (!!!), but in the end, I was glad I waited. I bought a
light stick, a towel and a fan, and I had no regrets.
Although I
knew that officially we could only get inside around 4:30, I didn't dare
venture too far, so I just stuck around until the time came. While I was
waiting, I wrote a love letter to Junsu in a notebook I got from the Canadian
embassy (twice, lol). It was
quite heartfelt. :'-) Anyway, I totally fail at life, but I was so happy when I
put the books inside the 'Junsu' cardboard box (the staff member couldn't help
but smile warmly at me :-D)! I like to think that he read it. I know that the
box will have gone directly to him and knowing him, I am confident that he did.
Getting in
went much smoother than I had expected. I just joined the line when people
started gathering near the door. But since not everyone was doing that, I
suspected that only some of us were allowed in, like VIP's and whatnot. In the
end, it was alright. After some time, they opened the doors and people started
pushing in, but it wasn't all that bad. Many (including me) lingered by the
flowers and fan gifts to take pictures, then proceeded towards their respective
seating area. In my case, my seat was on the first floor and I was shocked to
find that there were no line-ups whatsoever. I just went in as I would have at
the movie theatre and asked one of the staff members to help me find my seat,
which took a minute or two, and that was it. I did not have to swim through a sea of fangirls.
As I thought would happen, I don't remember the
songs he sang nor the order in which he sang them... T__T He started the
concert with Tarantallegra, if my goldfish memory serves me right. That I tried
to record despite the countless warnings, but I gave up right after, as I was
too afraid that they would act on their threats to kick me out of the venue if
they caught me. That ticket had cost WAY TOO MUCH money for everything to be
over so easily and quickly. Besides, although my seat wasn't bad, I wouldn't
have been able to capture any good material, so it really wasn't worth taking
the risk. I wanted to enjoy the show anyway. I'm pretty sure he sang most of
the songs from Incredible album. To be honest, although I bought it, I haven't
listened to it that much, and since it's a Korean album, the song titles don't
mean much to me... He also sang a few songs in Japanese of which I didn't know
the name. (There was Minna no Shita and Tsubomi, apparently.)
Here is my
shitty video:
For what
it's worth, here is the tracklist for the concert in Seoul. If you happened to go and know the actual setlist, please inform me of any mistakes so I can correct this post!
Tarantallegra
(see, told ya!): Wow, the intro! I vaguely remember him sitting on a throne, being his princely awesome self. Then he stepped on the stage and the crowd went wild. This song is one of my favourite Junsu songs so I was thrilled to see it being performed at the very beginning. It sure started the concert off on a powerful note. The chorus is so enticing, too. I swear, this man is such an accurate representation of charisma that he makes me want to start a religion or a cult for him, just so I can worship him properly. Although I should probably add that Junsu being Junsu, as soon as he started to talk during the MC segments, charismatic Junsu made way for the silly, cute dork that we all know and love. <3 Just listening to him talk soothed my heart and filled me with warm, fuzzy feelings. He makes me so happy.
(Not sure if
that's where it happened, but there was this video where he was chatting Gwith a
girl on LINE in Japanese and using stickers and stuff and it was SO FRIGGIN'
CUTE and funny XD)
I’m
Confessing Now (나 지금 고백한다)
Chocolate
Girl: I remember that the choreography for this one was very sexy. Junsu-chan
got a lot of action on that stage, hahaha.
Rainy Eyes
Foolish
Heart: WOW, what an amazing performance! Just when you think Junsu's voice
cannot get any more powerful and filled with emotion, he proves you wrong. TVT
It's as if there were no limits to his talent. I'm seriously wondering how far
he can take it before he stops getting better... it's almost... scary.
No Reason
Uncommitted: I gotta give it to him, Junsu's English has truly come a long way since "Hey! You wanta me? I wanta you!". This song is a pretty solid piece.
Turn It Up:
This performance was quite action-packed! I really loved the dances. Pretty badass choreography.
Fantasy
Isn’t This
Song Funny / This Song Is Funny (이 노래 웃기지):
Wow, that... was... something. I expected it, since it's already so much crack
on the album, but it was accompanied by crazy cartoon artwork on the screen
which made the whole thing even weirder. Great performance!
There was a time when he got on a little moving platform thing and went up the stairs through the audience. Not sure if it was at that point or at another. In any case, when that happened, everyone moved away from their seat towards him (myself included). I could get pretty close – close enough to realize that he really was here in person. I'd seen him on the screen, mostly, so it didn't feel as real as when he was just standing a few feet away.
11AM (11시 그 적당함): This is a personal favorite... He
sang the first part a cappella, as in the music video, and I SWEAR absolutely
NO ONE made a sound. The venue was COMPLETELY silent but for his crystalline
voice. I don't. I can't. THE FEELS. The beauty of it all was beyond description.
Love Is Like
Snow (사랑은 눈꽃처럼)
I’m In Love
(사랑하나봐)
Don’t Go (가지마)
You’re My
Girl (내 여자라니까)
Incredible:
This was the "official" last song, and wow, I quite enjoyed it! You
could feel the electricity in the air and the beat in your chest. I just
couldn't help but sing along what parts I knew (the chorus? I'm such a bad
fan~). The music video is already very catchy, so the live performance was
bound to be something to remember. It actually made me like the song more. You couldn't help but jump and clap to the beat. I just want to say that I love the whole
colorful theme he has going on in this one. The clothes were so much win.
Fever and Sorry (미안)
This is a
pretty nice recap of the night.
Here are some fancams:
And pretty HQ pictures:
As one would
expect it, the concert was like an enhanced version of the album. Not a single
note was missed. He hit every single one of them with perfection. I just want
to tell him to stop being so damn perfect, STAHP GODDAMMIT, but at the same
time, I am so looking forward to seeing him grow even more in the future, and I
know he will without a doubt. If I could, I would go back today. I wouldn't care about the price of the ticket. As Junsu always aims to become better and succeeds, he really makes you want to do your best in every aspect of your life. I feel sorry that this fan account does not even begin to do him justice.
Next time we meet, I will strive to make it better. Junsu, please do your best, too.
So mianhae, my love, and thank you for an incredible night (bad pun intended).
Badum.
Tsss.
