Jun. 15th, 2014 12:31 amYea, I was just trying to make the title interesting.
I spent my time today completely at home because I don't feel really well. It's embarrassing, but I think I got motion sickness from watching How To Train Your Dragon 2 in 4DX3D yesterday. The sickness hadn't gone away when I woke up this morning, so I had to cancel some plans with my friends and stay at home for the rest of the day.
Staying at home a whole day isn't really bad when you had a bunch of entertainment in your laptop, though. I decided to spend the day watching Matsujun. I watched Arafes 2013 disc 2 video, Popcorn tour video, Scene - Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei tour video, and Bambino! (episode 6 and 7).
After watching them, I feel like writing a review about Scene - Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei tour video and those Bambino! episodes. I know, I'm late almost 4 years for that tour and even almost 7 years with for that drama. But what else can I say? I just know Matsujun for even less in a month! Yes, I know, it's sad. I wish I had known him sooner. But better be late than never, right?
Okay, so, I will start with those Bambino! episodes. I don't know what was in the writer's mind, the story building is, what's the word, not continuous. I mean, suddenly weird things happened, suddenly everybody's mood changed, those kind of stuffs. Ban Shogo's character is still not lovable. He's to melancholic, as I once said. Too much of a thinker, not much of a doer. It's frustrating to see that kind of character, you know. He's egoist but not narcissist. It's even weirder.
So on those episodes, Ban Shogo finally learned for real about what it is to try to love. What it is to try to understand customer's feeling. What it is to try to make them happy, not thinking too much about himself. And finally, after 7 episodes, FINALLY, his melancholic side is useful. He had the chance to cook for his coworkers, and he actually think about them while cooking. He purposely cook imperfectly, to suit his coworkers' taste. The highlight is actually Matsujun in a cook's uniform and actually cook. AFTER 7 EPISODES, LIKE, FINALLY, WHY I HAD TO WAIT THIS LONG.
Ehm. Anyway. After working as waiter, finally Ban had the chance to actually work in the kitchen. In the next episode, he will be back in the kitchen.... to help make dessert because the dessert chef's hand was broken or something. Yeehaw, another chance to see Matsujun works with dessert (Yes, I've watched Shitsuren Chocolatier, I will make the review later someday).
Now, to the concert tour video. Scene - Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei is about the fourth or fifth concert video I've seen. Before it, I've seen Arafes 2013, Arafes, 2012, Popcorn, and, if I'm not mistaken, Time Tour. By far, this is my most favorite Arashi's concert video. I don't know why, but maybe because I can actually recognize a lot of songs here. LOL.
But if we're talking about Matsujun's best performance in concert, of course I will pick Arafes 2013. His DJMJ show and that Shake It! performance, come on. That Shake It! performance is when I saw him for the first time. I was baited right then and there by his flawless smile.
But I think his performance in Popcorn tour video has to be highlighted too... I mean, he changed his clothes on stage. It's a very rare occasion to see any artist change their wardrobes on stage, don't you think? Plus that dance and DJ-ing thing in the middle of the song. Oh my how can someone be as sexy as him...
Well then, back to Scene tour video... Actually, it's not that special. Matsujun didn't even do his DJ thingy in here. But somehow he seem totally happy in this tour video. I highlight four moments from this tour video.
First, is One Love performance. I haven't seen One Love performed live in concert but Arafes 2012, so I can't actually say much about the performance itself. What I want to highlight is Matsujun's solo part at nearly the end of the song. He somehow seemed to be so in love and it melted my heart right away. Oh my I think I take the term 'hopeless' from 'hopeless romantic' too literally.
Moving on to my second highlighted moment. It, as you can all guess very well, was Matsujun's solo. But actually, it's not the solo that I want to write about. It's that he disappear during half of My Girl performance right before his solo. I know that he had to change his costumes and everything, but his missing on stage just made me feel uneasy.
Okay, to the important thing here, the third moment is his another disappearance on stage during a song. It was in the middle of Believe when he and Aiba suddenly disappeared. Leaving only Leader, Nino, and Sho on stage. I felt so uneasy until I finally see him and Aiba doing some acrobatic, flying on stage. It reminded me of his Yabai Yabai Yabai performance in Time Tour, but this time he did it with Aiba. It was great.
Last, but not least, and I think what I love the most about this concert, is when they sang Monster. It was amazing. Before the sang Monster, they did a full-song-length dance. Yea. Just dancing for a full-song-length. My oh my. Seeing Matsujun with that body and costume and hairstyle dance like that, I suddenly feel very well myself.
What I also like from this concert is their interaction with each other is a lot, but not too intimate. You know, those guy-on-guy stuff is very minimum in this concert. Yea, I like it because I'm not into that kind of thing. LOL.
Phew. A long post, eh. Plus I'm lazy to do grammar check, so, forgive me if you find any grammatical problem. It's my bad.
It won't be a complete post without any picture. So here you are, your beloved Matsujun tried to rescue a balloon, help it fly, and sing to it. I'm jealous with a balloon.
I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS! HOW CAN I NOT BE JEALOUS?!
