Jikook Week 47 Complete (29/10-05/11/2024)
Their 47th week in the military is now complete and we celebrate with a look back at this week in 2017.
Tumblr media
It was a very special week for Jimin and Jungkook marking their first trip together. They went to Tokyo between 28/10 and 31/10 on a trip that JK organised as a birthday present for Jimin, a trip that they are still talking about seven years later.
"We were walking down an alley, there weren't many cars, there was the light from the street lamps.... It was really beautiful. And then Jimin said that his feet hurt and so we walked slowly. These simple things were so fun" Jungkook, Real Love, Beyond the Story
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"We went around wearing masks from the move Scream with black fabric covering our bodies, and black umbrellas. When people came over, we took picture, it was fun. We went around people watching, and when we went to the restaurant, we took off our masks and ate" Jungkook, Real Love, Beyond the Story
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They wandered the streets, went shopping, ate good food and visited Disneyland before returning to Korea on the 31/10.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first Golden Closet Film came out about a week later on 08/11 much to JK's delight as its talented creator and Jimin as its star.
youtube
No one before or since has shown Jimin quite like JK does here. He is completely open, relaxed and joyful. He beams at JK behind the lens. This is what it must feel like to be in Jimin's inner circle and have his complete trust. It is a Jimin that we don't really see anymore, although perhaps, in Are You Sure? we caught glimpses of that guy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On 31/10, Jimin posted this photo of them looking relaxed and happy with an emoji caption. The trip seems to have done them a lot of good and brought them even closer.
😊💐
Tumblr media
The trip took place during a break in the Wings tour between the Taiwan concerts on the 21-22/10 and the Macau concert on 04/11. If you want to know how crazy this time was for them and how hard they were working nothing can demonstrate that more clearly than the Burn the Stage series and in this case Episode 8 which shows the October and November leg of the tour and its final concert in Seoul on 10th December 2017.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is in this episode that Taehyung asks us to love all seven of the members of BTS which seems worth repeating at this moment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Watching their 2017 selves talking about what they learnt about each other and about themselves during the Wings Tour made me nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even in the fandom and hopeful for the future that they deserve, pursuing the next steps of their musical journey together as a group. Just over seven months to go before that future can become a reality and all we need to do until then is hold it together, ensure we put out our share of positivity to balance the incessant toxicity of SM and TRUST IN BTS.

The Black Keys
Betty Who
The Wombats
St. Vincent
Father John Misty
Janelle Monae
Mitski

Harry Styles
Lots of jazz legends in Cuba but that doesn’t really count either bc I was performing with a lot of them lol (humblebrag)
Artists I’ve seen in concert in Taiwan
Mumford and Sons
Hwasa
Taiwanese bands lol: Power Station, Accusefive, Mixer, Crowd Lu, Matzka, Lala Hsu, Hush, 831
The touring company of Phantom of the Opera came here lol they were great
Nobody else comes here or else tickets are gone impossibly fast. I would have loved to see Blackpink and Coldplay when they were here. I couldn’t even get a ticket for Jolin!
I KNOW I’m forgetting some of the American ones but alas….

[ad_1] The Estonian duo Puuluup has returned to India! They will make the auditorium of Piano Man New Delhi, Eldeco Centre, filled with a Nordic vibe with their modern folklore performance on 21 October 2024. During their India tour from 13 to 21 October 2024, Puuluup visited also Bangalore and Jodhpur, as well as taking part in the 2024 Rajasthan International Folk Festival. Puuluup has performed in many countries from Chile till Taiwan and they represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in May. Puuluup is a multiple awards winning duo and currently one of the most famous Estonian contemporary bands. They play traditional Estonian string instrument talharpa with bunch of electronics and loops, pushing obscure folk material towards the mainstream with a whole lot of panache. The music of Puuluup has influences from folk, punk, klezmer, African gospel, Sahel music, hip-hop and even R&B. The lyrics are mostly rather abstract, and are to set the mood, and are open to different interpretations. What would you expect from elegantly dressed middle-aged gentlemen coming to the stage with the traditional Nordic instrument talharpa? Well, do not waste time, because whatever you are expecting is wrong, unless you have seen Puuluup already .  It is the most surprising and beloved Estonian band and all Estonians are proud of having them. They are like a joker card – you take it and you win! Their show is contemporary, it is traditional, it is funny, entertaining, and danceable and the best way to experience it is live!! The concert of Puuluup at the Piano Man New Delhi, Eldeco Centre on October 21 takes place in cooperation with the Embassy of Estonia in New Delhi, Estonian Honorary Consuls in India, and Piano Man Jazz Club. Get ready for the charming craziness of Puuluup! https://youtu.be/pVFFHgqrvZg http://www.rollingstoneindia.com/gigscalendar [ad_2] Source link

was watching concert vids from bangkok and my god every time jmj have a moment the whole arena goes freaking nuts😭 they have everyone on a chokehold with the bare minimum, imagine if they actually fanserviced! (It wouldn’t be them but just wondering). I also noticed from this weekend’s festival that gigi kept laughing whenever they had a “gay” moment and the crowd reacted big, like during the next level slap or when jm pushed mj down at the start of next level too, she knows their gay ass besties are exposed af
remember when that taiwan news called them the young couple when they didnt even do the bare minimum😭😭 everyone goes crazy over them no matter what but they dgaf much unfortunately

how life's been after 5 years since i last posted.
240907. omg i can't believe i found my way back here!!
so how has life been? hmm... 2 years of the pandemic went by, and i graduated (almost got my laude but wasn't quite there... i'll forever curse the 0.001 excess that i had..).
i got in med school (i'm still in ust) and i passed the boards after YL 1 in med school!! (i am now an RMT hehe).
so 2022 was crazy... i met the worst guy possible and had a thing with him. so i think this highly contributed to me flopping in neuro 2. so this thing went on for a year i think, before finally deciding to END things.
2023. i was chilling lang, acads here, ganaps there. tapos i witnessed the downfall of omegle... this was the year i met eve also as my friend and on the latter months of this year my significant other (eme)!! so july, i met him the first time. september-october-ish... i was starting to like him na hahaha. and he made me a playlist ;;pp
Tumblr media
2024. me and chacha went to taiwan, eve & i went to see an opm concert in circuit makati, i passed my 3rd year part 1, went to the haikyuu movie: battle of the garbage dump with eve in moa!!
currently, i am back to 3rd year (part 2, and my last). i went to see laufey's goddess tour with eve in moa arena too!! nd i've finally graduated from being a V ;pp sorrows sorrows prayers hahaha. and my lolo's going to stay in manila for good bec he had a stroke 2x in less than a week months before...

Did bts ever got in a car accident in Taiwan or was that just fake news?
Tumblr media
Yes, the Taiwan car accident did happen. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. On December 9, 2018, BTS had just finished up their second concert for the “Love Yourself” world tour at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium. They were leaving in several artist cars along with a tour bus at the time and it looked like one or more of the cars had to stop suddenly, causing a bit of a pileup of fender-benders. It was widely reported at the time that they were being followed closely by sasaengs, but the taxi company involved disputed that. I actually do think they were being hounded by crazy stalkers because when does that ever NOT happen to BTS. I'm not linking scene photos here for that reason.
On December 10,2018 Big Hit stated, “After BTS finished their concert in Taiwan and were on their way to their lodgings, the artist car had a minor collision. None of the members have any injuries and they got back to their lodgings safely, so there are no issues with their schedule.”
Hope that helps, anon.

im hopefully going back up to taiwan soon n getting tickets to their concert, the weather change is gonna be crazy but i haven’t been home in 3 years. so im so excited!
- 🐶 <3
Tumblr media
Yea I did. It was truly the best night of my life and I’ve honestly not sure if I’ll ever recover and I wanna do whatever I can to make it happen again. I really hope you get concert tickets. They’re so unreal 🥺 I’m excited for you!
Sorry it’s taking a while to get to these- I’ve not been doing the best haha. I’m seeing them again at Lollapalooza and I’m gonna make Soobie and Kai big glittery signs so they know we are there to support them 🥺 here are the designs 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways- I’ll try to work on more writing soon. I’m starting a savings strictly for txt tour. I’ll do anything to see them again 🫶 you’re really never ready for how beautiful and lovely and unreal they are (it 100% made me even more delulu). ALSO not txt starting as 4 Es and 1 I… now we have 3 introverts 😭. They’re so relatable and honestly it does sprinkle a bit of perspective on how I see Gyu.

A diary written for you
Tumblr media
Kim Namjoon
Genre: ���︎
Summary: Namjoons best letters written to you in his diary while on tour.
September 4th, 2018 Los Angeles, USA
We landed in Los Angeles, it quite busy but very beautiful; you’d think so too. I’m excited to see army yet I miss you so much. Isn’t that crazy? It’s been just a few days since I’ve seen you and even so I miss you. I have to go practice, I’ll write to you again.
September 10th, 2018 Oakland, USA
Do you miss me like I miss you? The boys say I’m dramatic but I say I’m in love. I wish I could put you in my pocket and bring you with me, that would be convenient.
September 22nd, 2018 Hamilton, Canada
We’ve traveled to Texas and spent a few days there, we are in Canada now. I’ve bought some maple syrup just like you asked, we can try them on some pancakes when I get back home to you.
October 7th, 2018 London, UK
Newark, Chicago, New York City, yet none of them say HOME like you do. I miss you, so much. I’ve been looking at tickets to bring you with me, the boys miss you too so I see no cons in letting you join us.
October 12th, 2018 Amsterdam, Netherlands
I’ve realized a major flaw in my previous letters. Not once have I written to ask how my plants are! How are my babies Jjin Jjin, Maehwa-agi, dayug-i and Cherry?! Are you watering them well? Have you been talking to them like I told you?! Words of affirmation make them bloom better you know. Have you checked on moni too? I wonder if he misses me.
October 20th, 2018 Paris, France
Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris. I was able to visit some museums in Berlin, that’s when I video called you. Have I mentioned my favorite piece of art though? It’s a rare piece named “you”, I really love that piece.
November 1st, 2018 Tokyo, Japan
Can you believe it! I’ll finally get to see you again! Your beautiful face which I’ve missed so much. I called my parents to make sure they drove you to the airport, I didn’t want you leaving alone. I’ll be picking you up from the airport in Japan. You’ve always wanted to go to Osaka so I’m glad you’ll be here with me.
November 14th, 2018 Tokyo, Japan
Last day in Tokyo and I’ll miss army here. But soon I’ll see you and my heart will heal a little more. The boys and I roamed around today before the concert, Tokyo looks beautiful early in the morning.
November 20th, 2018 Osaka, Japan
I’ve picked you up from the airport, you’re currently laying right next to me in bed while I’m writing this for you. Did you know all my thoughts have been just you? It’s always you.
December 7th, 2018 Taoyuan, Taiwan
We celebrated Jins birthday a few days ago, he was very happy with your present. Your my present, seeing you makes me the happiest man alive. Gosh, I understand why the boys make fun of me, I’m so in love with you.
January 1st, 2019 Nagoya, Japan
We have now celebrated Taehyungs birthday too, you just know how to gift people don’t you? We are headed back to Japan soon, however I think your stay with me will run short soon as well. As said previously I wish I could just fit you in my pocket and carry you around with me.
January 16th, 2019 With You
I’ll be able to spend a month with you all by myself, isn’t that exciting? We can visit all the places you’ve wanted to visit my love.
February 16th, 2019 Fukuoka, Japan
Saying goodbye hurts. I had to do just that this morning. Why did it hurt to say goodbye more this time? I miss you already.
March 1st, 2019 Hong Kong
Although we haven’t had a concert, life has been hectic with promotions. Has your day been busy? I guess I’ll find out later tonight when I call you.
March 20th, 2019 Hong Kong
It’s weird, I miss you so much I want to go back home. But soon I’ll have to say goodbye to army and I’ll miss them so much too.
April 2nd, 2019 Bangkok, Thailand
Our last concert is in 5 days and I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye. I don’t even think I’m ready to say see you later.
April 7th, 2019 Bangkok, Thailand
The day has come where my mind is conflicted. On one hand I can’t wait to wrap my arms around you, say I love you in person and be able to hold your hand again. But on the other I’ll miss army so much, I hope to see them again soon.
April 20th, 2019 Somewhere USA
It seems that we are extending our tour, so that means I won’t have to miss army any longer! And to make me happier you said you’d hop on board. Let me go buy a lottery ticket, I feel so lucky today.
The last note of this diary
June 1st, 2019 London, UK
I have no more space in this little notebook, I bought the biggest size too. Although it seems like nothing compared to my love for you. Thanks for traveling with me, I know you get tired. I hope we will travel the world together forever. I’ll buy a new notebook again tomorrow but until then, goodnight.
Authors note~ I hope you liked it!

Let's check out a TW duo called ゲシュタルト乙女 Gestalt Girl =D
This is the closing track on their new Amoeba album, some soft Japanese vocals over laid-back indie pop.
I have hesitated to feature Gestalt Girl, because I thought they were from Japan (on Universal Japan record label), and just happened to be popular in Taiwan. But it seems they were formed in TW in 2016 by Mikan Lin (aka Mika Hayashi)-Voc/Gtr & Kaiaki (Kaiaki Moh)-Gtr.
If you look at the credits at YT, it looks like the record was mostly a Japan production, while the MV was done by TW peeps. (starring actress-singer-songwriter *余佩真 Jen Jen)
Lyrics: Mikan Lin
Music: Kaiak Moh & Mikan Lin
Arrangement: ゲシュタルト乙女 Gestalt Girl
Producer/Recording/Mixing/Drums Tech: Kaiak Moh
Mastering Engineer: Uramoto Masashi(Soi Co.,Ltd)
Recording Studio: Nichiyo Music And Sound Production
Another thing I wanna mention is the nice posts from various TW indies to the Gestalt Girl fb, covering songs/promoting the new album, etc.
By the way, add Gestalt Girl to the number of TW artists that sing at least partly in Japanese, including: 珂拉琪 Collage, PiA吳蓓雅, 四枝筆 Four Pens, 大象體操 Elephant Gym and Cheshire Cat 柴郡貓.
Gestalt Girl links: Instagram, Spotify, StreetVoice, YouTube, Official, KKBOX
* You might remember 余佩真 Jen Jen from co-starring in Misi Ke 柯泯薰’s Cast Away MV
This is her most recent MV, from last fall. It starts out mellow, and gets a little crazy:

Bonus clip! A live version of the JenJen song above, with enthusiastic help from Misi Ke 柯泯薰. XD

“In another life.”
Requested: Yup
Request: Y/N always makes it to Tzuyu' concert, even when Twice wasn't famous back then and performed outdoors instead of on a stage. She was Tzuyu's first fan, making banners and stuff for her but she never reveals her identity to Tzuyu, choosing to support her in the shadows. (I wrote this fic with two endings, but I thought this one was best)
a/u: Hey, guys! I hope you are all doing well during these intense times and I hope you are staying safe. This is dedicated to a dear friend of mine, I love you Z. I hope you all enjoy! I love you all! Stay safe and wash your hands.
Parts: 1.) Fem! S/O Confesses They Love Them and 3.) “I’ll love you too.” (Alternate Ending: “Screw fate.”)
Category: Fluff and Angst
Word Count: 1.8k
Tumblr media
It had been three long years since Tzuyu had left Taiwan to follow her dreams of becoming a singer. You had fallen out of touch with your best friend the first year she left, but still couldn’t go a day without thinking of her. Until you received a text from your friend that would change your life forever.
The text read: Hey, Y/N! Isn’t that, Tzuyu!?[JYP’s New Girl Group: TWICE Announced]
You clicked the link that led to what seemed to be the ending of a show announcing the debut of a brand new girl group. And as you searched the faces of all the girls on stage, you couldn’t help but feel your heart skip a beat when your eyes landed on Tzuyu. A wide smile forming on your lips as you began tearing up as well, ‘I knew she could do it.’
~TWICE’s First Concert~
You had never been to Korea in your life, but you were determined to be there for your best friend as you watched her dreams become a reality. The turn out was small but you made sure to take whatever pictures you could of Tzuyu while you were there cheering for her, planning to open a fansite for her when you returned to your hotel room.
-5 Years Later-
Five years had passed since Twice had debuted and you couldn’t help but feel pride swell in your chest, as you watched Tzuyu grow before your eyes. Twice had officially become Korea’s Girl Group and your small fansite had grown to be the most well known on the internet, so much that even Twice themselves were aware of you.
But, even through the years you still kept your identity secret, working under false accounts when you finally worked up the courage to finally send something to your best friend, a gift she would know in an instant.
-
Twice had just finished the first, TWICELIGHTS, and waiting for Tzuyu backstage were a bouquet of purple hibiscuses with a small note attached to it in Mandarin.
The note read: Hey there, Tzumong. It’s been years and I can’t believe you hadn’t figured out who was running your fansite. It’s been way too long and we should catch up some time when you come home. [Your phone number]
The maknae had a look of disbelief on her face as she read the note again and again. She couldn’t believe you had been supporting her this whole time and she had no idea.
Jeongyeon gave her concerned look as she placed a hand on her shoulder, “You okay, Tzuyu-ah.”
The younger nodded, “Yeah, I’m fine. Just…a little homesick.”
-
It had been months since you sent those flowers to Tzuyu but with their world tour taking most of her time, she hadn’t had time to respond to you until now.
Tzuyu: Hi, Y/N.
I know you sent me those flowers months ago, but as you know we’ve been on tour and I haven’t gotten a chance to reach out to you until now. So, I’m here to tell you that I’ll be coming home in a few weeks and was wondering if it would be possible if you could pick me up at the airport?
Y/N: It’s no problem at all, Tzu. Of course, I understand how busy you are and I’m so happy to finally catch up after all these years. And I have some pretty exciting news that I think you’ll love.
Your smile grew as you sent the text, setting the date of Tzuyu’s arrival on your phone’s calendar. A long sigh escaped your lips as you tried your best to hide the smile that seemed to start growing on its own. You laughed softly as you put a hand in your hair, “I can’t believe I’m gonna finally see her after all these years.” Your smile began to fade, a thought crossing your mind, ‘What if she really did wait?’
You shook your head as you dismissed the thought, now solely focused on waiting for Tzuyu’s arrival.
-
When the day had finally arrived after weeks of waiting, you were beyond ecstatic to see your best friend again. Doing your best to push the memories of the last days you two had spent together all those years ago, shaking off the feeling of what it felt like to have your heart broken.
You closed your eyes to clear away the thoughts as you stood waiting in the terminal, your heart beating out of your chest when your eyes found Tzuyu’s staring right back at you. Your nervousness seemed to disappear in an instant as you and Tzuyu ran towards each other, catching her in a hug, “I can’t believe you're finally back!”
The now idol smiled as she pulled back slightly, looking you over, “You haven’t changed a bit. I’m so happy to see you again, Y/N!” You couldn’t hide the wide smile on your face as you grabbed her suitcase for her and walked her out to your car, placing her bags in the trunk as you got in and began driving back to your home.
(Which you had insisted Tzuyu stayed in while she was here.)
As you drove, the two of you made small talk as Tzuyu stared out the window, “Hey, look at that. It’s our old high school.” You let out a grim laugh as an awkward silence filled your car.
“Uh, I hope you’re hungry. My girlfriend is making beef noodle soup for us.” At the mention of your girlfriend, Tzuyu’s eyes couldn’t help but widen as she suddenly felt a dull pain in her chest.
“Wait. Girlfriend?” You cringed as you gripped the steering wheel mentally slapping yourself as you let it slip.
“Yeah...um,” you cleared your throat awkwardly refusing to look at the girl beside you, “that was the surprise I talked about. I met a girl two years after you left and we just kinda hit it off. Her name’s Yerin and she’s amazing, Tzu, I know you’re gonna love her.” The maknae nodded as the dull pain in her chest seemed to stab into her heart.
She forced a smile as you kept driving, “That sounds great, Y/N, I’m really happy for you. I can’t wait to meet her.”
-
When the two of you arrived back at your home, you quickly went to open Tzuyu’s door before rushing to the trunk to retrieve her bags. When you opened the door to your home, you were hit with the smell of food in the air, “We’re home!” You yelled as a girl suddenly appeared from another room, an excited look on her face as she looked at Tzuyu.
Your girlfriend approached her slowly, bowing slightly, “It’s an honor to meet you, Tzuyu, I’m Yerin. I’m a Once myself, and it’s crazy to think you and Y/N were best friends in high school!”
You smiled as you set your friend’s bags by the door, placing a quick kiss on your girlfriend's cheek, “The soup smells amazing! Thank you.” Yerin smiled as she wrapped an arm around your waist, the action catching Tzuyu’s attention as she felt her heart sink.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Yerin. Y/N was telling me so many great things about you on the way here.” Tzuyu said as she sat across from the two of you, “Thank you again for lunch, it smells delicious.”
Yerin smiled proudly as she leaned against you, “It’s no problem, just an old family recipe Y/N insisted that you would love.”
Tzuyu nodded as she picked up the chopsticks beside her and began eating, frowning internally at the taste of the food. A defeated feeling welling up in her chest, ‘And she’s a good cook too.’
-
As the week progressed it went on without a hitch, the awkwardness of the first day long forgotten as you and Tzuyu made up for all the time you two had lost. Spending most days reliving your high school years and talking of all that had happened while you were apart. But with all that aside, Tzuyu was also taken back to wondering why she had ever let you go.
The three of you sat on the roof of your home as you guys stargazed. Listening to all the adventures Tzuyu had gone on with her members, “Yeah, America was so fun to visit again, but, it was even better when Mina Unnie had joined us in Japan.” Tzuyu blushed slightly as the honorific slipped out by accident, making you and Yerin laugh.
“Too much Korean on the brain, huh, Tzumong.” You poked her shoulder playfully as you smiled.
Making Tzuyu laugh along awkwardly, “Yeah, I guess I don’t come back as much as I think I do.” A pained smile on her face as she took in your profile, regret flooding her veins as she looked at Yerin’s head on your shoulder, ‘Why did I ever say, no, to you Y/N?’
-
After that night, the rest of the week seemed to pass by in a blur. And before the two of you knew it, it was time for Tzuyu to return to Korea.
You looked at your friend one last time before setting down her suitcase on the front porch, “Are you sure you don’t want me to drive you back?”
Tzuyu took in the hopeful look in your eyes, but shook her head, “No, I’m alright Y/N. I’ve caused you both enough trouble this week.” Your smile faltered slightly making Tzuyu blush, “Sorry. What I’m trying to say is, ‘Thank you.’” The idol looked between you and Yerin, “The both of you.”
You frowned slightly as you nodded, “Of course, it’s been…” The sound of a horn honking caught the three of you off guard as you looked at the cab in the street.
“Well that’s for me.” Tzuyu smiled as she leaned down to hug Yerin, before placing a hand on you, “Thank you again, Y/N, for supporting me all this time. Hopefully we can do this again soon.” The maknae squeezed your shoulder before picking up her suitcase and making the walk to the taxi waiting for her.
You couldn’t help but notice the ache that began to fill your chest as you watched Tzuyu hand the driver her luggage, turning away to open the door. Without thinking, you ran down from the porch and towards the cab, “Tzu, wait!”
At the sound of your voice, she had just enough time to turn as you barreled into her, your arms wrapping around her waist and shoulders as you hugged her tight. You buried your head into her shoulder as a few tears slipped down your cheek, soaking into her shirt as she grasped the back of your shirt. Tzuyu held back her tears as she rested her head in the crook of your neck, holding you closer.
You inhaled sharply to stop your tears, before pulling away to whisper in Tzuyu’s ear, “In another life, Tzuyu, I promise: we’d love each other too.”
As the words left your mouth, you moved out of her embrace, a sad smile on your lips as you turned away from her. A dull pain filled your chest as you heard the door to the taxi close and pull away from the curb. You felt your heart pull in the direction of the cab as you thought of the part of your heart that would always remain with Tzuyu. A similar feeling also seemed to fill Tzuyu, as she felt her heart seize in her chest.
Since it seemed as though a part of her heart would always be with you too.

「KEIKO First Live K001 ~I'm home~ 」First Impression
1.Be Yourself: Live instruments sound so much better here than in the studio version but Keiko is quite shouty and out-of-tune during some parts (mostly the chorus). Maybe not the best start but hey, I still enjoyed it. 2. 始まりは | Hajimari wa (Beginning): Better than the studio version imo but overall pretty similar. 3. Ray: Definitely better than the studio version. A lot more ooomph if you ask me. By now KEIKO is really into it and not as shouty as she was for “Be Yourself”. Unfortuantely they kept those weird electronic sounds from the studio version in the live back-up track. I had hoped they would get rid of those.
MC:She greets everyone at the venue and watching at home. She hopes we will all have a great time. Next up is a song that hasn’t been revealed yet.
4. 溜め息の消える街 |Tameiki no Kieru Machi (A Town Where Sighs Disappear): New song for the album. I like it but it’s not my favourite. From what I can make out, the lyrics are lovely though. Love the rainy vibe
MC:Keiko loves how the following song opens up wide sceneries. She has always liked that about songs so after consulting with all kinds of people, she decided to pick this song for herself even though it’s quite different from all her other songs. It’s actually the oldest song among all her pieces.
5. 茜 | Akane (Madder Red): A very traditional sound with some Chinese elements I think. Kinda like Wakana’s Kinmokusei but not quite as good imo. But still, I am blown away, such a beautiful ballad. Fits Keiko’s voice perfectly. LOVE IT (just a few tiny little off-key moments but nothing too bad)
MC: Self Introduction. 10 years of Kalafina and vocalist at YK’s lives. Some promotion for YK’s upcoming live. For the next section she wants to cover some songs that she has sung during YK lives in the past.
6. 宝石 | Houseki (Jewel): The musicians don’t do a good job here, the drums in particular sound quite out of place and borderline grating to my ears. Or is it just me? Keiko is providing lovely and solid vocals but imo they aren’t quite on par with the FJ performances I have seen in the past. 7. 風の街へ | Kaze no Machi he (Towards the Town of Wind): This one on the other hand is absolutely FLAWLESS imo, KEIKO hits every note and I just love how she chooses to sing her lines. It’s different from her old style so I don’t think you can compare it to those FJ performances from the past. But it does remind me of the more recent performance I saw during the YK live in Taiwan. The musicians also sound much more balanced here.
MC: Keiko talks about the venue being in Shibuya which is a very important place for her. She would come here weekly during her time in school since she took voice training lessons here. At one point she heard a song by Yutaka Ozaki at Shibuya Scramble Square and immediately fell in love. During her time in Kalafina she would always name him as the artist that has influenced her most. So of course she has to cover one of his songs for this live.
8. I LOVE YOU (Yutaka Ozaki Cover): This made me cr even though I have never heard this song before. You can tell KEIKO feels strongly about his music.
MC: Introduction of musicians & reading some comments Bass.目黒郁也 Ikuya Meguro (she loves his solo in Kaze no Machi he) Key.ミトカツユキ Katsuyuki Mito (he sings a bit in Hajimari wa) Gt.和田建一郎 Kenichiro Wada (Hajimari wa, Tameiki no Kieru Machi) Dr.北村望 Nozomu Kitamura (she met him at the PrincessPrincipal live)
Everyone is going crazy about Kacchan (the pianist) in the comments. She shows off her haribo gummies and M&Ms in the clear bottle. Lots of fans are having dinner while watching the live which Keiko finds super cool. She had steamed buns for breakfast. I love that she is wearing her super old boots that she used to wear back in her Kalafina-days (during live-house encores in particular). She chose an outfit in which she feels relaxed. Keiko wanted some up-beat songs for her live so the following two were chosen quite quickly.
9. エンドロール (End roll) : So the bracketed lyrics are backing vocals provided by herself. No guest vocal unfortunately. Either way, a really good song that gets everyone hyped just as promised in the tweets. Reminds me of a song but I don’t know which one. I guess this is Keiko’s “Ongaku”, maybe it even reminds me of that? 10. Change the World’s Colour: Her deep voice is back!!! Combined with a super high vibrato voice during the bridge (just wow - that singing style is gorgeous, reminds me of her singing in Sans Toi M’amie). Btw, for a second there I thought she was gonna sing “Mata Kaze ga Tsuyoku Natta”
MC: She talks about her countdown tweets where she wrote down some lyrics of the previous two songs and was teasing everyone with some hints. Keiko probably wouldn’t have chosen those two songs if it hand’t been for this live stream concert. She thanks everyone for waiting so long for her return. She is super grateful to be able to hold this live.
11. 命の花 | Inochi no Hana (Flower of Life): Stunning! As gorgeous as the studio version but much more impactful.
ENCORE: Album Release =>  December 2; It was planned for autumn but it ended up being winter. She apologises for letting us wait. Her excitement when she mentions that YK has written a song for her album and Kore-chan has provided the guitar playing is so freaking cute. She is the most precious human-being on this planet.
12. 七色のフィナーレ | Nanairo no Finale (Finale of Seven Colours): my first thought was that it sounded kinda futuristic XD Also, you can definitely tell it’s a YK song but it really fits Keiko’s solo style. Love it, a super catchy tune, the chorus in particular. And those lalalas!!! *is dead* 13.& 14 Double Encore Synchronicity & Nohara  (Venue ONLY): Wish I had been there T_T
»——————⋆◦★◦⋆——————«
Can’t wait to rewatch the archived version. My faves (in no particular order) were probably Ray, Akane, Kaze no Machi he, I LOVE YOU, End Roll, Change the World's Color, Inochi no Hana and Nanairo no Finale.
You CAN STILL BUY tickets so be sure to SUPPORT KEIKO! It’s totally worth the money. The live lasted about 1 1/2 hours, pretty short but an okay length for a first solo live I would say. The audio and video quality are great and now that the live is archived till September 13 you won’t have to deal with any streaming issues. Find my TUTORIAL here. Keiko sounded fine for the most part but occassionally she was a bit out-of-tune. She is really straining her voice with this new singing style. It’s a bit of a hit and miss I feel. But I think she will eventually figure out how to sing her songs in the best way possible. Wakana did the same thing.
Now I am gonna try to order the live goods. Will let you know whether it works or not. EDIT: Okay, I couldn’t do it since the payment needs to take place on delivery...Stupid methods from the dark ages...Need to find another way to get my hands on the goods.
