Tokyo Dome (Day 1) Part A From Zhu

Please note: I kept myself from seeing any fancams of the SC Tour perfs, so forgive me if I describe things that you may have already heard or seen ^^;;

First of all, I want to state what DBSK staff stated in the beginning of the concert. They had a cute video about how fans should not crowd around the gates of an airport when DBSK arrives. The video showed the fans screaming and DBSK looking sad/stressed (anime DBSK - remember the MV, Together? Those anime DBSK). The video also went on to show that chasing after DBSK's car and bumping/honking/yelling at them is not okay. It also showed how it's not cool to push and shove when in line for the concert (no stampeding, basically). And it elaborated on how photos during the concert is not cool (throughout the entire concert, the staff held up signs asking people to not take pictures or film stuffs). Re-selling fangoods is not cool. Buying unofficial photos that were taken during the concert by a non-staff is not cool.

My S seat ticket was actually in a pretty good spot. I was surprised. I was near the front, and even though I bought binoculars, I didn't really need them at all. I went in a little after the venue opened. At first, I was worried the Dome would have empty seats. But as time went on, people kept streaming in. I should have figured that fitting nearly 50,000 people into the Dome would take a LONG time. Almost every single seat was taken. Oh, and I had a moment of fan communication with the Japanese girl who was next to me (she was a Chun fan). We spoke and hand-gestured a lot, grinning and trying to spazz, XD (We couldn't speak much of the same language ^^;; ). But we got to exchange things like where we were from, our favorite song, our favorite member, how long we'd been a fan, how we became a fan, etc.

When the lights went off, everyone launched right up onto their feet. No one was sitting, it seemed. It was crazy. Lightsticks appeared everywhere - I swear, it seemed like everyone had one! The red sea was so pretty, and I was so tempted to take a picture, lol. But I remember the video and the staff being really polite about reinforcing the rule, so I didn't.


The beginning video was really awesome biggrin.gif I only remember it showing Changmin and Chun first, then JJ and Yun, and then Su. They all had fighting scenes basically, and looked really hot in black suits. Changmin took out one (maybe two, can't remember) people. Chun punched the daylight out of another guy. JJ looked suave as he took care of his men, and Yunho "escaped" while JJ was fighting (lots of screams of YunJae here, XD). Yunho beat up two guys on the staircase. The last scene showed Junsu stealing some necklace (and he kicked some butt as well smile.gif ). And then the five of them met up and ran to the roof as security went off. A helicopter finds them, but they all step up to the ledge and "jump".

The stage burst into life with colors. The TV screens (there were two large ones on either end of the stage, and five smaller ones across the stage) all lit up as well. The five in the middle each had a member's shadow. Secret Game started, and it was just awesome.

I have to admit - seeing the concert from kind of far away made it seem like I was just watching them through a show. But then, when I heard their voices, the loudness and the realness hit me. And the realness would hit me even harder later, lol.

Oh, that reminds me - I think there was something wrong with the audio system. Why? Because JJ's voice was really...nasally? But he wasn't the only one. When any of the members sang a certain volume, their voices kind of warped funny.

Right after the song ended, it lauched right into Share the World. That's when I really noticed JJ's energy.
Jaejoong was HYPER. He was grinning and rocking out! He looked so full of energy, he couldn't stop smiling, lol. It was really cute. Changmin sounded great, and Yunho, too. NOTE: There was a LOT of JaeSu in the concert! Like...seriously, XD It overpowered the YunJae, SoulFighters, YooSu, etc.

After STW, Doush!te started. It was a beautiful performance, and this was when I noticed the lightsticks. The fans ALL over the stadium were in sync or doing the same motion (either up and down or side to side, depending on the song). Because it's my first DBSK concert, it was kinda cool seeing that ^^;;

I can't remember if they launched into Take Your Hands right then, or did their MC ment and introductions. >< I want to say they launched into Take Your Hands (and I think they did), so I'll go with that. I don't really like the song that much, but the perf was really fun. The dance was very much together, well-coordinated.

The MC ment began. And um... I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know what on earth they said. All I remember is that each member introduced themselves (Yunho first, then Min, then JJ, then Chun, then Su). JJ mentioned that the Tokyo Dome was their dream stage.

Putting all their ments together for sake of my sanity, I remember lots of JaeSu interactions and teasings, Yoochun and the others asking Junsu to do his "Jun ju wa" gag and oyaji gags (which he did).... And, oh! Changmin was really blunt/witty (I'm assuming, lol) because he made the crowd laugh a LOT. The most, in fact. Oh, and during one of their later ments, they mentioned that a famous Japanese celeb (??? I think that's who it was, lol) was at their concert. They pointed him out by zooming in on camera and putting the spotlight on him.

Anyways, ments aside, Stand Up was next. And holy cowwwww, IT WAS SO FUN! biggrin.gif DBSK directed a simple pattern of hand motions (left, right, left, right - make a circle about your head - punch two times in the air slowly, and three times fast). Lightsticks EVERYWHERE did it together! The members were all grinning, bouncing around with energy. This was definitely one of my favorite performances.

9096 started, melding into 9095. It was...one heckuva sexy perf. O__O This one was...too bold for words, XD Remember how I said there were five TVs? Well, there were also five rising platforms that could go up with the TVs. DBSK stood on those platforms and pulled off a jaw-dropping perf. I think this is the one where they also had a "shadow" on the TV? Where they danced facing it or facing against it. It was...really neat smile.gif

Somewhere in between the perfs of Stand Up, 9095, and Force, there was a video. Basically, it was the boys throwing some ball of energy. Except leader-sshi - he had a sword ^^

9095 gave way to Force. I honestly can't remember the beginning of the perf, lol. I had told myself to listen carefully to their "Engrish", but the main TV screen in the center of the stage grabbed my attention with its flashy colors ^^;; Just for the beginning, though! The choreography was well done, and the boys pulled it off with a flare. The costumes added a nice "military-like" touch.

Purple Line was never my favorite dance song of DBSK because it was kind of awkward in my opinion. Not any more. HOLY SHIZZ. The middle part was just so...so... O_O It was hot and sexy and cool all at once! Lol! The way they broke up the dance solo/duet/trio was really neat. Junsu did awesome, for having recovered from an injured leg just weeks ago. There was a JaeSu dance thing here, and YooMinYun on the other end. (They sang this song with mics in their hand - actually, come to think of it, only one or two songs were sung with the headset thingies. Most of the dance songs were done with mics, which was really impressive to see and hear). Oh, and just a note: the fans did the chant at the beginning biggrin.gif

There was no break between the songs as it slid right into Mirotic. Junsu did his high version of "rules". The perf was really smooth, and gave off the vibe of a lot of practice. The physical shape of the boys was mindnumbing - I thought there would be breaks between the songs, small ones. Most of the time, there was no break within three, four, five of the songs. That's like...twenty minutes of straight-up dancing and singing.

Maybe I'm losing my memory, XD I thought Heart, Mind and Soul came in earlier, but maybe not (I'm referring to Anita's account of HMS being after Mirotic). Anyways, the song was set up perfectly for the members to all disappear except Yunho. He started off singing by himself while the other members changed. Then JJ's part came in, and Yun went off to change. One by one, each member came on stage. Junsu came last at the "why - why- why - why - WHY-EE-I-EE-I" part ^^;; Allow me a moment for a Su spazz - HE WAS SO FREAKING AMAZING DURING THE CONCERT! I love his voice, the strength and the emotions. He did a lot of adlibs, and did them stunningly. JJ also did a few! He did one during Summer Dream later, I think? (Or one of the later songs - but it was a GREAT adlib). Also, Min tried a few, and he did awesome as well~ Yun and Chun did the thing where instead of "singing" their line, they shout it out but in a "power-up-the-atmosphere" kind of way? And it was HOT and always right in the right place.

AHEM. Next was another ment, perhaps? O_O I think they talked about KTBS and Wasu here, then launched into Wasurenaide. Beautiful, beautiful song smile.gif I think this is the one where the five of them walked out to the center circle of the stage. There wasn't a smaller ring of that circle, and it rose just high enough to be a circular bench. The boys sat around it and sang - it was a good set-up. ^^

Then another video. This one had clips of the boys preparing for Tokyo Dome. Then the last part, I think the concert manager person (the guy in charge of what happens in the concert) said they were going to have solo stages. The fans went crazy as the video launched into a series of clips of the boys practicing for their solos. But the names that came last were Yoochun and Jaejoong - because their names came out together - Yoochun&Jaejoong.

Junsu went first, with his piece, Xiahtic. IT WAS SO HOT. The lights in the beginning, the dancing, and yes, he was grinding with the girl dancers but that just added to the hotness. (And you could tell it was profressional dancing, don't worry. sleep.gif Please don't cry or sob about this, haha). No Key, the rapper, but still, it was a great perf. (It was in Japanese, too).

JaeChun came next. And holy shizz. OMG. Their song, "COLOR~ Harmony and Melody", was sooo pretty! They wrote and composed it together. I loved the beginning and the end, where they traded off lines really quickly. The chorus, where they harmonized, was very nice. I would definitely buy the single this song comes with (well... I'd buy any DBSK single, XD But you know what I mean ^^;; )

Yunho's Checkmate made its entrance. Dude, this guy has got style, lol. His dance and the song was really catchy, and his facial expressions were the best. He had the air of confidence and charisma down to the core, giving you the feeling that was "it", ya know?

Changmin. OMG, Changmin. Wild Soul, remember it? I do - and I clearly remember not really digging it. I will be digging that song back up to listen and re-listen to it again and again. The performance was probably the best out of all the solo stages. He got the notes, with strength, and his voice was great. His control is amazing. The band stepped out from their box-thingies, and it looked like a serious rock perf. It was flipping scream-worthy, and fans did scream. There was a part where he had this green laser. It went FAR. He sent it out, pointing it at fans even up in the highest stands. People went crazy, screaming with happiness when he got them or near them. I was one of the ones yelling themselves hoarse, lol. Seriously. Best Min perf ever.
