Osaka TREE Tour [2014.06.19]

OSAKA

My day started at 4am. Our flight was at 8:30 am so we had to get on a 5am bus to get us to the airport by 6-6:30am. Mai & I checked in with the Cassie Tour and walked around the airport until we had to be at the gate.
We stopped at the Everysing in Gimpo airport... just because we saw HoMin.

Soon it was time to board our plane and head to Osaka. When we arrived in Osaka we got on 1 of two tour buses.

We checked in at our hotel, got something to eat for lunch, and then we were off to the dome.

The one thing I disliked about the Cassie Tour was they brought us to the concert venues really late, with only an hour before the concert started. They brought us to the venue and told us to meet back in 30 minutes so they can distribute the concert tickets. So, we really only had 30 minutes to go get our SMTown passports stamped, walk around and see the cosplayers, get goods, and anything else we wanted to do. It was a tight time crunch.
But we managed to do it all, which is something I guess.
At Kyocera dome~ ♡

Kyocera Dome seat. Center stage behind Premium seats ^^

Concert started at 4:10! Lights dimmed and all the screaming!
FanAcct:: I did a more complete fan acct about the entire concert (staging, vcrs, and outfits etc) in my Fukuoka concert account. For this fanacct, I'll only mention things that were different  from the Fukuoka concert.  

VCR #1

CHAMPION
Champion is the best song to open the concert. Epic. Blue pyrotechnics. Boys had swagger and attitude.
CM was a little off in the dancing at the beginning, but really hit his dance moves hard during the instrumental of Champion. Afterwards, CM ruffled his hair and smiled. Such a cutie.

SCREAM
Wow, Yunho dancing was so strong. He was hitting it hard. He ran to the outstages, leaving the TohoDancers behind.
During CMs "Soul scream yeah!" Yunho mouthed along and aggressively pointed to the audience on that side.
In Scream, YH did 2 fist pumps and jumps in the air to the beat.

DISVELOCITY
was awesome w the circle dance on the round stage. When the lights went dark, YHs ending pose was hip cocked & hands on hips kkk

1st MENT
YH, "Osaka! Is your energy high?" He said that he is our Yunho & today's con is going to be fantastic (yabai) so enjoy it more & more & more
CM came out and said that he is Tohoshinki's Changmin. There was a big applause & he smiled & bowed. He asked us to take care of them today
YH came back out and asked "Everybody OK?" Us:"OK!" YH:"Osaka OK?" Us:"OK!"
YH then called CM "Chagmin sensei" and CM introduced the next song "Cheering"

CHEERING
I love Cheering. I could listen to that song anywhere, any place, anytime, always. It reminds me of an anime ost. Very positive and catchy...
YH had such happy smiles & expressions when he sang this song. It was as if YH plucked this song out of his heart and sang it to us
For example, during the line, "I want to see this dream with you" he would spread his hand out to a section of the audience, inviting us to share his dream.
When YH sang "hurray" x4 he pointed to different sections of the dome.He was so much more expressive in this song than he was in Fukuoka.

AI WO MOTTO
I didn't notice the background effects during this song. In Fukuoka, I was just mesmerized by their voices. But the background effects were beautiful during this song.
2 green leaves are floating and when they merge together, there is an explosion of hundreds of green leaves, which was timed beautifully with the crescendo of the song.
Then the platform stage lifted up so that it was as if they were standing on a hill with a tree and the light changed into sunset. At the end of the song during the piano instrumental, the lift lowered and everything faded into black. 
As a side note, I really enjoyed all the staging, vcrs, and backgrounds during the songs. I think that this concert as a whole was more cohesive and beautiful than Time.  

VCR  #2

BREEDING POISON
I love it whenever Yunho asks me if I know what time it is. ^^
CM zigzag jumped and landed well. Audience chanted "Ho" and "Ha" in the break dance part in Breeding Poison.
English convo in this song was so funny. The boys stressed the syllables and stretched out the words in a really cute & funny way. 
Before Shinjiru Mama, the mics were still on, so we could hear HoMin's heavy breathing after this dance

SHINJIRU MAMA
YH bit his glove to pull it up. Sexy~ we all screamed. YH did his dance move where he takes the jacket off & on. At the end, CM kissed the back of his glove

B.U.T
YH did Michael Jackson esque hip thrusts has the lift platform was lowered. At the end, YH & CM bumped elbows instead of high fiving
YH grabbed his crotch during his beatboxing verse

VCR #3

I LOVE YOU
During I Love You, the dome was so quiet that all I heard was their voices and how they echoed in the huge dome
They were facing away from each other on the circle stage. After Changmin sang "Kimi ni todoke," they both turned around and looked at each other. 
When they sang "It's my love song" together at the end, their voices were a little wobbly but it was still beautiful & perfect & FEELS ;_;
I CRIED SO HARD AND MAI JUDGED MEEEEE!!!

WITH ALL MY HEART
YH took a deep breath before getting on the lift for With All My Heart. Then YH kept his eyes closed whenever he wasn't singing. Afraid? =/
They sang this song beautifully. 

WEDDING DRESS
During Wedding Dress, Rui (TohoDancer) was singing along to the song as he danced. 
YH ad-libbed "Yeah" & "Ho" during the song as the lift went down.
YH high fived 50 (TohoDancer) when he went to the outstage.

TohoDancers Time.
We did the fanchant for most of the songs, but it was especially strong for Purple Line

HIDE & SEEK
I think CM had problems with his pin mic & used a hand mic instead. CM jumped for the 2nd to last platform. Audience gasped.
YH forgot some of the lines in Hide & Seek. He mumbled into the pin mic then was like Oh yeah! then started to sing again in the hand mic
YH led the audience into chanting "Hey" at the end. Then he said "One more time!" in English then "together" (一緒に) in Japanese

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY
CM Kiss #1 he kissed his pointer finger and gave us Deer Eyes.
When YH went to the right stage, he pretended to fight with K-SK (TohoDancer) and did a roundhouse kick
BOYS WERE SO TIRED at the end of Crazyx3

GOOD DAYS
YH pointed at my Cassie section at the end

2nd MENT
YH: Today is really excited! But I am more excited! (He uses the word yabai). CM says something YH says that he has A LOT of energy
They then did greeting. Yunho did the UFO greeting he learned from Sanma-san and CM did the shampoo greeting. I am. Chang. Min. Schwaaa~
CM then said something about Samna-san and everyone went 'Eeeh~' YH said that everyone is definitely excited today then "Shhh~ its okay"
Then the boys talked about going to the Girls Generation concert & danced a bit of Mr. Taxi & Gee. Then YH immediately said "Im not cute~!!"
CM tattled on YH to us and said "This Yunho was a scary person-- screaming as if he didn't have a concert to do today. Saying he'll be okay for tomorrow"
CM then started to talk abt their album & evryne shouted out Tree. CM then complained a little that he wasn't finished & YH said everyone is fast
YH gave us a cute angry face to chastise us for not listening until the end. Oh baby, just admit that you are cute
After CM and YH said some very sweet things about the meaning behind "Tree" they pointed at each other and went "Aaaaah~ SAIKO!"
I don't know what this is referencing but I'm sure they're copying something
They then talk abt The Giving Tree & were going to do the "Aaah~ Saiko!" again but YH faked CM out 2 times before CM said "Let's stop this"
YH laughed so hard after CM said "Let's stop this." ^.^
Then CM was a little huffy so he asked YH if he wanted to do it or not. YH said that he wanted to do it. So they did the "Aah~SAIKO" again
YH tried to explain something but he kept using Krn instead of Jpn. He looked at CM & said "Help me!" CM said it was okay if he spoke Krn
Then in Korean YH told CM to go get ready for his solo ^^
Yunho Korean corner. He taught us saiko (the best) = choigo. He had us say "Tohoshinki is..." Us: "Choigo!" Then YH said "Ah, you guys know"
He taught us "Yunho is cool." "Tohoshinki is cool." "Changmin is..." Us: COOL! YH: "Wah~ everyone is great. Really! Everyone plz remember"
YH said that CM is going to perform his solo soon. Then a fan yelled out "CM!" YH then complained saying that it's still YH TIME!
So then everyone yelled out "YH" then he said "Enough~!" ^^
Then YH introduced CM's solo and asked us to listen. Ended with "Douzo~"

CHANGMIN SOLO :: OVER YOU
CMs solo sounded really emotional today. Beautiful~

YUNHO SOLO :: SPEAK OUT
During YHs solo, he pointed to my Cassie section. He twirled the mic stand again. He also pushed his glasses down, looked & smirked

TohoBand 
During the percussionist and drum battle, the percussionist pretended to be on his phone and showed his Tree Tour phone strap

SPELLBOUND
CM made a heart and YH brushed his shoulders. Swag.
At the end, YH went really close to one of the cameras, pointed and made really cute wide eyes

SOMETHING PLAY
CM bro-fisted all the girls. Then CM & YH play fight. CM is already drunk on his side of the stage
YH was playing around with the dancers. They were all making funny or cute faces at the audience. Then they all bowed together
One of the dancers & YH pretended to fight. Then YH flipped him over but he landed on his feet. So YH flipped his again & he laid on stage
CM had dollar bills hanging under his eyes like tears. CM put on a Spiderman mask, climbed up the metal frame, & shot out sparkly streamers
After defeating the bad guy, CM did a few more Spiderman jumps and flexed his wrists as if to shoot out webs

VCR #3
This is the cutest VCR I have ever seen. When the DVD comes out, you are all going to DIE from the cuteness. Again, I have no idea why they put the cutest VCR in the world right before KYHD. Crazy decision...

KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN
This perf of KYHD was intense. It's been a long time since I've seen them perform KYHD with that much intensity. It was so aggressive. It was like re-watching them do a KYHD performance from  2011. Like that intense KYHD. It was crazy but awesome.

EASY MIND
Boys go on the carts. YH did his Tone Tour cute dance & CM was dying and falling over laughing
During Easy Mind, YH did the cute face from Tone Tour, imitated a gorilla, & shook his face

WE ARE!
Then the boys performed "We Are!" Boys were so energetic. CM made a mistake singing and apologized. YH said "Dong Bang Shin Ki We are T"
I was really surprised that he said Dong Bang instead of Toho but I guess he was still mixing up Jpn and Krn
At the end of We are T, CM pointed at my Cassie section. ^^

HUMANOIDS
CM was DYING. He was doing the moves on autopilot and really had to summon all of his energy for the dance break
Right before YH used CMs back for the flip in Humanoids, CM said "onegaishimasu"

VCR #4

TREE OF LIFE
Gorgeous. Wonderful. Cried just a little bit.

ENCORE
Encore was in the pink shirts.

MISS YOU
When the boys came out for Miss You, YH yelled "Everybody thank you!"
The first part of Miss You was on the lift, CM then jumped off about 6 feet off the platform before it finished coming down. We all freaked out. SHIM CHANGMIN PLZ WAIT FOR THE LIFT TO BE LOWERED BEFORE JUMPING OFF. YOU ARE NOT SPIDERMAN.  >.<
CM forgot some of the lyrics
YH did the high pitched "I miss you~"s at the end


3rd MENT
YH: It's really hot! Their Tshirts were already sweaty. CM talked about how the encore is the last time to sing & dance
CM then talked about how Miss You is a song from 8 years ago & YH said that Tohoshinki has gotten popular little by little bc we were there
Then CM introduced their new song "Sweat." We all tried to "Ehhhh!" but CM just ignored us
Then YH told us he had some great news. Sweat made #2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart. YH then thanked us. ^^
But while YH was talking, CM sat on the stage. YH: What are you doing? CM: Resting (?) YH: There's no helping it. It's the ment
CM talked a bit about Sweat. He spelled it in English & said that its an English title. He then talked about their other summer songs which also had English titles.
YH said that its a stylish song & has a Toho feel
CM was back to sitting on the stage. YH: What are you doing now? CM: Wait a sec *drink water next to mic* YH: This (mic) is expensive!

SWEAT
 YH was smirky, CM was cute, & YH caught his handkerchief at the end. Well done ^^

OCEAN
Back in the carts. CM did Spiderman jumps in his cart. YH either pretended to be electrocuted or have a seizure. YH turned the mic sideways and covered his eyes. orz I seriously disown them.
During the adlib part, YH sang "Everyone! Everyone! Have fun forever!"
CM was dying at the end of Ocean. He was bent over and held his stomach. =/

SOMEBODY TO LOVE
"We are T!" YH hugged male dancer cheek to cheek & pointed to audience then did a flower pose
Boys ran to the middle to do the jump but CM had no energy so only YH did the jump
CM finished his water so he grabbed another bottle and poured some of it over his head
YH ran around saying "Motto, motto" more screaming and waving our towels
YH then laid down on the circle stage and kicked his legs and arms in the air

GOODBYE FOR NOW
CM asked us if we had fun. Us: YES! CM: REALLY~~? He asked using Osaka dialect Honma desu ka?
Goodbye for Now. During CMs part he still did the Spiderman poses. YH did his UFO Yunho pose during CMs part
4 Pa Lu Pa Pans: Sexy, Drunk, and 2 CM high note ones. CM was rolling around on the stage during the Drunk version
CM did this really long up and down note in the 4th version & we failed so epically. YH looked so disappointed in us
When YH did the beatbox at the end, CM lifted up YHs shirt. Then YH bowed and apologized. He looked embarrassed.

FINAL MENT:
CM asked us to applaud for the dancers and YH asked us to applaud the band.
YH hugged the band leader. CM had a dancer jump on his back and he spun him around.
YH had a really cute hug with the percussionist and CM was sitting on the stage holding onto one of the dancer's legs
YH said that today was subarrrrrrrrashi (super/amazing) He rolled his r. YH then over to CM & laughingly asked if he was okay. CM: thumbs up
CM said Tomorrow is the last concert. It's sad. Us: It's sad!!!! Then said that he had a lot of fun because of us
YHs ending ment was really beautiful and he was getting a little teary
CM: Bigeast Kamsamnida! YH: Cassiopeia Kamsamnida!
Then YH said a pun as he left "Osaka matta itsuka"
This concert was amazing and emotional and wonderful. I am ill from jumping & singing & screaming for over 3.5 hours. But still awesome ^^

  1. Omgosh! Uwaaaa...your fan account here, really made me feel as if I was there right along with you. <3 I always love their MC-talk sessions, esp. interacting w/the fans having fun, making funny faces, etc. I also love how they joke with one another too, and joke along w/the fans as well. And, as I was reading along your account, some parts I remembered seeing pics of, and also reading some other fan accounts (my friends) on FB. Various friends of mine went to Hiroshima TREE Tour concert, Osaka, and Tokyo TREE concerts. All of them are Bigeast Fanclub members just like you. And one of them is a Premium FC member. <3 (She's a Japanese woman from Japan in Hiroshima Pref area. I've never met her in person b4 but I do intend to meet up w/her some day. She's also on my FB wall and we're close friends.)

    When I went to see TVXQ last year in 2013 at their Live World Tour 'Catch Me' in LA concert, I remembered their MC-talks w/us too then. :) Such memories for me I'll carry w/me a LIFETIME. I don't know if they'll ever come back to LA again for another solo concert, but us fans here are keeping our fingers crossed. I seriously would LOVE to attend another LA solo concert of theirs again some day.

    Also, I want to point out, I missed seeing Tohoshinki in concert too back in April of this year. :( I was SO CLOSE...Toho came to Japan a week AFTER I got back from visiting Japan w/my family and my parents on a vacation trip. Our Sakura trip to Japan was 2014 April 7-15 and Tohoshinki's concert first started April 22. >< (darn it) Oh well. :( lol I'll NEVER forget the dates. >< :'( I wanted to attend SO badly but, even if I wanted to go, I wouldn't know how to obtain tickets anyway. Plus, I'm NOT a Bieast Fanclub member either. *sigh* I want to join, but I missed the deadline to join this year. :(
