My recording is split up into two parts, there are just a couple of seconds missing. This was mostly Keiko practicing and singing but still quite fun to watch.

I wonder if Hikaru is taking part in rehearsals for the upcoming Highway Star Party? Maybe she is going to be a surprise guest?

I miss the era of Yuki Kajiura where she put songs with lyrics in her soundtracks, and they would play the same baller song in every single episode and it never got old because it ruled

YKL vol#20, Asia Tour Special in KL, Malaysia diary time~

Bought VIP ticket. Sat 4 rows away from stage, kinda loud but glad i brought ear plugs.

Arrived there and retrieved the signed poster. And waited for 3 hours just to go in.

Imagine saying doors will be open at 6.00pm but only at 7.50pm due to "technical issue". We waited at B2 and it was getting very stuffy in the air. I thought i was getting no oxygen and abt to faint anytime.

I think out all the Asia concerts, only this one uses e-ticket instead of having a physical ticket.

Concert started right after everyone is sitted.

Oh, no photos or video recording is allowed btw. and we couldn't give gifts too :(

Yuki Kajiura san and her musician came out first then only the songstresses.

Yuki Kajiura kept saying sorry that the show was delayed and she even said she felt fed up with the situation. She was also very excited to finally eat some of our local food and she loved it. but didnt get a chance to see our city due to the show's schedule.

It was great to see the singers learn a bit of Malay to greet us.

I can see Keiko was trying her best to say as much as she can.

It was nice to see Joelle again, and to see her to sing majority of the songs was surely a wow factor.

Yuriko Kaida singing was great tho she seems a bit stiff on stage.

Hikaru was surely in her zone when she was singing and I love her energy even tho she sang a few songs only.

For rito and LINO LEIA, their performance was enjoyable despite being young. Hope the lady boss give them more songs to sing live.

Let's not forget, her musicians were great as well. They sure played well and i was bopping my head most of the time.

At the end, lady boss ensure her team to say correctly "See you again" in Malay before they say it together and bow before leaving the stage.

I had an awesome time with the show but i shared the same opinion with everyone on the show's management and how it was so disorganized and just terrible. Not only they made us wait but they didnt even bother to give us refreshments.

I didnt bother to take a selfie at the end cuz i was rushing to catch the train and have a morning shift the next day. haha writing this post now in my workplace.

that's all from me. Anyone who went to concert, pls do share your opinion.

hmmm despite the concert having the most fresh setlist we've gotten in awhile, i still think YKL#20 is pretty boring lol

the best part of the live was obawo and sato using actual kitchen appliances for kitchen main theme. Eri was brilliant as usual and Joelle in fiction will never not be phenomenal. even better now that Keiko was the one singing the harmony for fiction. the english section was kinda sleep inducing ngl.

should've sneaked in sis puella magica somewhere in the setlist (maybe cut hepatica from the setlist). stage design was weird, Kajiura in the middle is kinda fitting i guess but also made for a very weird standing position for the ladies, especially on the English section where for the most part there were only Joelle, Keiko, and Yuriko Kaida there. everything was so red that it was kinda tiring for the eyes. again, a proof that stage design, lighting, and costume are afterthoughts in YKL. that YKL#20 logo is still ugly af.

camerawork and video edit are not the best but also kinda better than YKL#19 bcs this one has better shots on each vocalist (Yuriko got so many solo shots!!), unlike YKL#19 which has the most random Joelle shots all the time (maybe bcs lady was too over the top with her body movement lmao)

overall a decent live that i won't rewatch often (as the case with YKL#16, 17, and 19). the rewatch-ability value of YKL are usually pretty low so nothing new there.
