QUARTET NIGHT LIVE 2018 FLY TO THE FUTURE DAY 1 REPORT + DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS
NOTE: this was NOT written by me, I DID NOT attend QN Live 2018 (as much as I wanted to). Someone on Weibo attended and Iâm translating their posts. This is Day 1â˛s report. I also embedded links of Twitter fanart for some parts whenever I could.
Warning: long post
Double warning: Original Poster (OP) of the posts is a Tattsun fan, so this is a heavily Tattsun-biased post.
Triple warning: be prepared to have your heart slayed by QN seiyuu
Feel free to reblog with comment/write in tags/slide into my DMs if there are any parts you think can be refined for accuracy!
Everything under the cut!
Setlist (this is from Day 2 I believe but I donât think the setlist changed)
Legend:
(?) indicates that Iâm not sure about the translation
(T/N:) are my personal thoughts.
I skipped over translating the parts where OP was basically waxing lyrical over the seiyuu, sorry.
The talk corner was split between Morishow-Maeno pair and Tattsun-Shoutan pair.
Morishow and Maeno talk
Maeno: âusually we canât have a 4-person rehearsal, weâre always missing someoneâ
Morishow: âthat guy with the colour red was the earliest to begin rehearsalâ (T/N: according to fans, Tattsun began rehearsing in September)
Maeno said he was really surprised to hear how early Tattsun began rehearsing
Shoutan-Tattsun talk (same link as above)
Tattsun: âI often end up practicing with Shouta, and he looks more and more like a girl to me - his feminine power is too damn high xDâ
Shoutan did a dance move of putting his hand on his waist (apparently in a feminine way?). Tattsun tried to learn it live, totally failed and was like âhow did this guy do it orzâ
Shoutan smiled shyly (?)
Shoutan: âTatsu-nii always says âletâs stop practicing hereâ but always says âletâs do it once moreâ and ends up practicing for a long timeâ
Tattsun: âit was no fun practicing songs on my own, so Shouta came over and said âwhy donât we do QN songsâ. Shouta often comes up with ideas like this, and is always supporting the 3 of us like thisâ
Tattsun is very grateful to Shoutan for showing him how fun it is to sing with others (T/N: is this real-life Ranmaru?!), although he sings a lot on his own, heâs really happy to sing with Shoutan.
At first Tattsun wanted to let Shoutan lead the song and he would support him, but it turned out Shoutan had the same idea lol. The two of them do their best in supporting each other~
The two of them end off with bowing towards the audience and whispering âthank you very muchâ
OP noted that the atmosphere was like a newly-married couple roflmao
Talk ends, Haruhana performance
They sat and sang with gentle swaying, but their singing was no less powerful.
When they sang âAhâŚĺ¤é˘¨ăăăłăŞăăšçˇ ăäťăăŚâ they stared at each other soulfully. At the refrain, they stared at each other as they sang â声ă¸ă¨ď˝Ľď˝Ľď˝Ľćă¸ă¨â, and then suddenly the music stopped, the penlights were turned off. The two of them stopped singing, looked at each other and the whole hall was silent for a few moments. Then the two of them took a deep breath together and sang âAhâŚĺ¤é˘¨ăăăłăŞăăšçˇ ăäťăăŚâ.
Be Proud
Tattsunâs first solo. As usual he carried (?) the whole performance by himself.
He walked from the doors that open at the middle of the stage (T/N: sorry, I donât know what thatâs called) and slowly walked towards the middle of the stage to sing. They sprayed dry ice too.
When he sang the second part, Tattsun went up the stairs, knelt down and used all his strength to sing âććăŞăăŚč¨čă ăă§ăŻď˝Ľď˝Ľď˝Ľ ĺ°˝ăăćĽăžă§â. The LED screen was showing red mist and stars, all the penlights turned red, and the onstage dry ice was colored red by the stage lights too.
OP noted that the sound quality this time round was better, probably because it was indoors (6th Stage was outdoors).
The last line Tattsun dragged the last note for a really long time, before pumping his fist with his mic up. The whole hall erupted into applause.
Not Bad
Ranmaruâs 2nd solo. the stage had pyro effects and backup dancers. Tattsun was singing, dancing and manipulating the pyrotechnic effects - when he raised his left hand, the left side of the stage spewed fire, and the same for his right hand and the right side of the stage.
The dancers were originally standing in a line, before quickly splitting into two, and Tattsun walked like a boss from between them towards the centre of the stage. The dance at the centre was really hype, with the fire - â(the atmosphere) was super highâ accordingly to OP.
Non-Fiction (same link as above)
OP thinks that the best choreographed performance of the live was actually Non-Fiction though.Â
Tattsun was sitting on the sofa like a boss, while Maeno sat on the other side elegantly, with a noble air. Apparently the two of them sang with angry expressions throughout the song LMAO (T/N: something like this, 2nd pic), and on the second half of the song they went to the stage centre.Â
They were surrounded by black-clad dancers who danced smoothly, while the two of them had rougher (?) movements. The changes in the dance followed the changes in the song, and the beat was good. OP thought it was a high-quality performance.
Synchronism (lmao, the only non-Ranmaru song the OP wrote about)
According to OP Shoutan was super adorable hahahah
When he sang Synchronism, Shoutan had a hoodie lined with purple fur, complete with animal ears. (Hereâs another visual.) He winked as he sang, blew kisses towards the audience (T/N: did Reiji teach you this lol), put the hoodie up and used his hands to make the ears move, with his eyes wide open and looking pitiful⌠(T/N: this boy is out to kill orz)
OP says they want to raise a Shoutan LOL
Final Thoughts
Tattsun:
âIâm the voice of Kurosaki Ranmaru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa. That guy (Ran) at first didnât care about band and idol, and I wanted to tell him to focus on being an idol and leave the band part to me (the audience laughed at this point). Since he chose to be an idol, I was thinking if it was possible to do more, to do better. Previously I felt that no matter how much I practiced it wasnât good enough, I kept feeling that today was a really scary day. Before you guys (the audience) sat here, we were practicing on this stage, and I was thinking âhow can I do this better for everyoneâ. Even until now, I still feel uneasy. I want to take this chance to express my feelings and thoughts to the audience and live-viewing audience.â
âWhen I like a work, I like every aspect of it! I like every character, every cast member, and every staff. Every one of them deserves respect, including the staff who have been supporting us all along, the fans who couldnât make it today, everyone at live-viewing, and of course all of you seated here right now. Iâm really happy to be able to stand here as Ranmaru. Thank you everyone!â
Maeno:
âI am in charge of Camusâ voice, Maeno Tomoaki. Usually at live stages like this, I try to speak as Camus, but today I would like to speak a few words as myself, please forgive me. I entered this franchise with no experience at all (T/N: I believe heâs referring to his lack of singing career compared to the other three), really none at all. But after meeting these 3, I think that Iâve been slowly changing. Itâs really a great thing to have met them. Hopefully, there are more chances in the future for me to continue playing Camus, and I wonât stop chasing after Camusâ shadow. Whether itâs Starish, Heavens or Quartet Night, I hope everyone can continue to support them.â
Morishow:
Morishow mentioned at the end of the concert that having met and performed with Starish and Heavens at Utapri 6th Stage, he got the strong impression that Quartet Night too needs to keep changing and revolutionising, so he wanted to let everyone witness a different, new side to Quartet Night today.
He also said that itâs thanks to everyoneâs support that Quartet Night was able to continue from 2013 to last yearâs solo live, and to today, and that heâs grateful to everyoneâs support.
At the centre of the stage, Morishow said there was no need to use mics, and the 4 of them raised their hands towards everyone and shouted âthank youâ.
OP tagged this part with âleader of Quartet Nightâ lol (T/N: itâs true!)
Final moment:Â After thanking everyone, they went back to the centre of the stage, discussed a little and shouted together âUtapri, arigatouâ.
2nd Day
Iâm not going to bother writing this because there are people on Twitter whoâve already discussed this in English, so read them here.
Raineâs thread
(Will update this if more people write reports)
Highlights and stuff:
Oh god so many things happened where do I begin (note: the following are all link dumps bc Iâm not gonna take credit for someone elseâs translations and art so open them and read)
Shoutan broke his nail
Maeno imitated Ranmaruâs growls lmao
Q: What is one thing you like most about your character? Shoutan: His voice.
Maeno had long hair and had a snowflake pin in his hair. Another visual. A 3rd visual because what do you mean Iâm spamming fanart
Tattsun said during live that Shoutan stayed over at his house and wore his shirt, kind of like the boyfriend shirt concept
Tattsun also said he specifically picked out the shirt for Shoutan
Shoutan later tweeted that Tattsun was lying orzzzzz, he didnât stay over at Tattsunâs house
Tattsun later blogged âShouta, itadaitaâ (Shouta, itadakimashita)?!
Tattsun yelling at Shoutan for adjusting his belt on stage (this boy orz)
Tattsun and Maeno have a âhi/byeâ relationship IRL lol
Morishow did Reijiâs Force Live kick!
Maeno as usual was all decked out in gear
To no oneâs surprise, Shoutan cried on day 2. Tattsun comforted him.
Directly from the horseâs mouth (aka seiyuu own content):
The 4 of them went out for drinks after Day 1 and took this photo. (T/N: this is such a Reiji-style photo LOL. Apparently fans think so too!)
Gold long coats outfits
Shoutan and Tattsun pics (where Shoutan said he didnât stay over at Tattsunâs house)
Group pic
Maenoâs blog post
Tattsunâs blog post
Shoutanâs selfie with Tattsun (yes, he posted this separately from the other 2â˛s selfies...)
Shoutanâs selfies with Morishow and Maeno
My thoughts:
Donât blame me for making Tattsun and Shoutan sound shippy, they did this to themselves xD
Iâm not sure if the seiyuu got to pick the songs they wanted to perform this time round, like Starish did, but I wouldnât be surprised. I heard that Shoutan likes performing Synchronism anyway lol
FKING TATTSUN AND SHOUTAN YOU JERKS STOP DOING THIS TO US ORZ
Morishow did the Reiji kick ;-----; thank you Morishow
I bet Maeno looked beautiful ;-----; please BD release soon I need
Thank you Maeno for basically being Camusâ biggest fan ;-----; honestly I love it whenever heâs all decked out in Camus gear bc thatâs just so amazing of him
