Check out his first appearance here.
You can follow him on Twitter. Sawashiro Chiharu’s Twitter
Thank you to Koemonogatari for translating this!
Some of the highlights from the first interview:
I read the first one, and it sounds like he’s a very down-to-earth guy who’s trying to make it without the help of his very famous sister. As a little sibling, I can totally imagine that feeling of wanting to surpass your older sibling without their assistance. But he was so oblivious to his sister’s work that he didn’t know she was a part of Utapri. He asked if she knew anyone inside the series since he wanted to join, and she replied she was in the series. I like how these siblings keep work separate.
Because we are siblings, she feels that it is not a good idea to teach me, so she adopts a policy to not teach me anything. Even when we are on the same studio set and shares stuff with me as a co-actor, my intention is to study with my own ability. 
She did leave a message for him on a radio show!
youtube
He sounds like he dabbles in a little bit of everything too! He plays sports like baseball, he plays guitar and sings, and he likes gaming.
He went to two years at a training school, and he looks up to Mamoru Miyano and Chiwa Saitou. (Miyuki is great friends with Mamo and that she has worked with Chiwa Saitou on projects)
He was into sports as a kid and wasn’t a “star student”. He worked part-time and joined a theatre troupe. One week before a performance, he caught influenza, missed the dress rehearsal, and just made it to the actual performance.
He says that he had met a lot of other seiyuu indirectly. He said that he picks up his sister after she takes a trip with her friends, but since her friends wear masks and caps, he doesn’t really recognize them as anyone different from her normal group. Then he sees them on TV and goes, “That’s the person that was sitting in the backseat!”
Yeah. At the start, I did various things, but having a role model in my sister by my side, I was gradually influenced by her and eventually the desire to become a seiyuu became stronger. I repeatedly acknowledged that the path towards a seiyuu as well as an actor wasn’t going to be easy, and in normal circumstances, I think it would difficult to see that as my future vision. However, having “someone living in that reality” made the destination easier to visualise. I was able to see the path to become a seiyuu laid on the backbone of hard work and diligence. Also, I wasn’t just indebted to my sister. I got many opportunities to speak with other seiyuu at the forefront of my activities, and watching them grapple with what’s in front of them made me want to work together with them in this industry.

He’s a proficient guitar player and has even been credited on the Outbreak Company CD.

Some highlights from the second interview
This was taken 3 years after the first one above, and his career has taken off since then!
youtube
After watching Sugita Tomokazu-san and Tsuda Kenjiro-san’s acting, I believe that if I can get my technique right, I will be able to break out of my shell. It’s fine for me to come this far! It’s not something superficial, it’s about getting the best out of my voice and bringing it to the character.
He got his headstart through theatre acting, and he had to study for the transition which took him about a month.
It wasn’t like in theater or training where the seniors would teach me various stuff, I had to build the character myself.
He has met a lot of new people in the industry and has changed the way he has dressed a little. Previously, he had worn more proper and fitting clothing for his shoot, but this time, he chose to wear baggier clothing and suited his style more.
Yes! Actually, in this 3 years (since the last interview), I have become good friends with Ōishi Masayoshi-san. Isn’t he great with the guitar? So I sought him out for advice on playing the guitar, and he shared with me his tip on using fingernails rather than guitar picks to strum the guitar. However, it’s quite difficult to keep up with this, since I got to take care not to break them. Ōishi-san also shared with me the tip of doing a glass nail manicure to protect them.
He clumsy side hasn’t changed, and he still forgets things like his phone. He listens to Yui Ogura’s music which was recommended by his friends, and he’s slowly growing and has support from other people!
Congrats to him!

Yuri!!! On Stage Event Report!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So today (4/29/2017) I went to the Yuri on Ice Yuri on Stage event. To clarify though, I was not at the actual Tokyo event, rather a live viewing at a local movie theater. Which of course does alter the experience but it’s the next best thing. At first I thought the theater was only doing the afternoon session, but very last minute I ended up being able to attend both!
For starters, the voice actors of most the skaters were there +Nishigori. When everyone came out they more or less came out in order of popularity from lowest to high so it was all like... YURI ON STAGE... Here is Nishigori!!! to start which got a good laugh. 
(Georgi just existing always got a good laugh too.)
Characters of voice actors who attended: Yuri, Victor, Yurio, Phichit, Chris, Georgi, Minami Kenjiro, Leo, Guang Hong, Seung Gil, Emil, Nishigori.
Characters of voice actors who did not attend but appeared on video: JJ, Michele, Otobek.  And Kubo-sensei.
Victor’s voice actor cosplayed for both showings. First he was in a suit, and second he was in a black shirt and pants like his the new figure. YES he did the pose. He even dyed his hair. Apparently he kinda killed it dying and redying it though. 
Yuri’s voice actor was wearing a necklace that could have possible been interpreted as a silver medal. 
After everyone came out and introduced themselves with a key line from their character, we moved into the talk show section. Unfortunately I don’t have that much to say about this part because they just talk so much so fast that I only understand about 70% to begin with and only half of the jokes... 
Georgi’s voice actor was the moderator and they split up the characters into different groups. Afternoon session was.... Teens: Yurio, Emil, Leo, Guang Hong Kyushu: Yuri, Kenjiro, Nishigori 20-somethings: Victor, Chris, Phichit, Seung Gil
Evening session was...  Not not just cute: Guang Hong, Emil, Chris, Leo? “My Pace”: Victor, Emil... Phichit? (I might have mixed up some of these... sorry I don’t remember.) Surprising gap: Yuri, Yurio, Seung Gil, Nishigori
Kubo-sensei was very involved in this section. It was funny because at other events I have been to the voice actors were always like “lol well I think my character would be like this...” but at this event she kept interrupting like the voice of God to be like “Well, ACTUALLY.....”
Chris was only in the “cute” group because of his cute butt.
He put Chris character badges on his butt to show off too.
I think Kubo-sensei said something about when she starts drawing Chris she just starts with a butt.  The “My Pace” group refers to the characters all having a “do whatever I want” attitude. They came out wandering all over the stage. I had no idea how to translate “surprising gap”... it meant like, characters who have two sides to them. Like Yuri with his eros, and Seung Gil when he got really upset after losing. 
During the “gap” group Nishigori’s voice actor describes the gap with a very long convoluted story that ended with the birth of the triplets? So they were like Kubo-sensei did you know about this? Apparently she DID write it... then forgot about it. 
At one point they were talking about who they look up to as voice actors, and Kenjiro’s said he looked up to Yurio’s voice actor. This was during the Kyushu men segment, so he wasn’t on stage. But they pushed him out and made them sit VERY CLOSE. It was... a moment. 
There were a lot of innuendo jokes about how Phichit’s name sounds like “pichitto”, Japanese for “tight” or “snug.” For example: Phichit’s ass is pichitto.
Anyway, next came the world quiz section. 
So they separated everyone into four groups. During the afternoon session they drew cards from a box on stage, but for the evening they just did it in advance to save time. 
Every group got a table with a buzzer. They really liked the buzzer. 
So basically, what they did was they translated an anime scene into another language featured on the show and had a native speaker read it. Then the voice actors had to guess which scene it was.
In the afternoon session the language was Thai and it was basically impossible to guess right away. SO they had JJ’s voice actor, good old Mamoru Miyano, appear on the screen give a clue. He basically just gave us the Thai word for “onsen” then showed a several minutes long JJ montage to the theme of King JJ and then told us to enjoy “JJ On Stage.”
Also during the Thai reading the guys were laughing because a part of the Thai sounded kinda like “chinsuko” which sounds like an Okinawan snack which sounds like “penis.” Anyway.
After two more clues, first “hold back”, and then “internet” I was able to guess the scene and so did Yuri’s voice actor. (It was the Chinese restaurant scene.)
For the evening show however, the puzzle was MUCH easier. Even in the original Russan I could make out “piroshki” and a very heavily Russian-accented “katsudon.” You could tell from their reaction that the voice actors knew it too. But if someone guessed too early we would miss Mamoru Miyano’s clue so everyone stayed silent. 
Mamoru Miyano gave us the Russan word for “grandfather.” And at this point somebody (I forget who) said “Well clearly we all know it’s the scene where Yuri and Yurio eat piroshki--” BUT TOO BAD because we were shown the JJ video anyway ahaha.
So at this point everyone knew the answer but to keep the segment going they just decided to fuck around instead by buzzing in and saying random words in Russian. Phichit’s voice actor tried to make “miso soup” sound like a Russian word and the hosts got mad at him when he defined it as “japanese soup made from miso” without any other ingredients. Yuri and Guang Hong’s voice actors were on the same team with Phichit and both were wearing glasses so they were all like “which one is which???” and Phichit’s actor didn’t have glasses so he had to improvise with his hands and this foam thing he found. Victor’s voice actor tried to use the “grandfather” clue to tell long fairy tales “a very long long time ago there was a grandfather....” It’s so hard to describe well but this was so amazing and everyone was just having such a great time. 
Oh, and the Russian speaker’s name was Emil so we had a brief WHOS THE REAL EMIL contest. (If they were speaking English surely they would have said “would the real Emil please stand up?”)
So anyway, Kubo-sensei had to chose the winner in the end and she picked Yuri’s team twice in a row. This is interesting because she got to put gold medals on the winners both times. After that the winners also got to eat samples of the katsudon piroshki they are currently selling at Namja Town. 
After that they did some script reading of key scenes and it was very artistic and beautiful. While Yuri, Victor, and Yurio were reading on stage they somehow raised a TINY ice skating rink where a woman did Yurio’s Agape in the afternoon and free skate in the evening (or at least as much as she could on a tiny square of ice, no jumps or anything). 
And now, what you have all been waiting for... the original drama. 
(No, this was not animated. They could not. They just stood and read a script. Quotes are of course translated from memory and probably not 100% accurate.)
It starts off with Victor reading something vague about how unforgettable the previous night was. Yuri is making noises that sound increasingly sexual until we realize... actually he’s throwing up.  Phichit: Green stuff is coming out of Yuri’s mouth... I have to put this on the internet!! 
Seung Gil: I have something to say to you. Yuri: What do you mean, you’re just looking at me with that same unreadable expression as always. Seung Gil: Put some clothes on.  Yuri: HUAAAAHHHH.
So Yuri is naked with Russian written on his back that Yurio translates to “Overcome Chihoko” and a strange cap on his head which is actually Victor’s underwear. And his body is extremely sore. And he remembers nothing. And Victor is gone.
Yurio: Yuri Stinking Katsuki what did you do with Victor. Yuri: Don’t say “stinking” like it’s my middle name.... 
And so, piece by piece we figure out what happened. So the setting is that everyone is in Hasetsu for a “Onsen on Ice Victor With Friends” show and the night before they were all drinking at the Katsuki place. Victor is poking Yuri’s soft belly. But Chris comes into the picture and soon Drunk Yuri starts to get whiny and jealous...
Yuri: Victor... stop looking at Chris... look at me.... Victor: I am looking at you.  Yuri: No you’re not. Victor...... let’s do it...... Victor: ...........................do what Yuri: Do... what people do when they drink..... And to be honest I do not know exactly what he said next, but from the next few lines I gathered it was a drinking game where you get naked. So Yuri was like “SO I LOST THEN” but the others explained that.... ACTUALLY, Yuri then ripped Victor’s clothes off to practice a naked Eros routine and then also needed his underwear for a coronation ceremony. I may have missed a couple things but I’m pretty sure this is not supposed to make sense in the first place and Yuri basically wants to die. 
SO everyone is blaming Yuri for Victor’s disappearance when detective Minami Kenjiro steps in to solve the case. He mentions Yurio is the only one with a motive since he found a list Yurio made of different names for a show he is planning to take over the Victor With Friends show with. I wish I could remember them all but the only one I remember 100% accurately is Yuri on Tiger. Yurio denies it though. But also apparently Otobek came up with half of them. Also Yurio has no idea who Minami is even though they were “rivals” in junior.
To make everything worse we suddenly find out from Nishigori from the triplets that the skate otaku are flipping out because the Victor With Friends show will not have Victor in it. Somehow they found how he is missing. SOMEBODY uploaded photos to the internet of their get together... PHICHIT! 
But this is a blessing in disguise because now they can check the photos. And they find... Seung Gil kissing Nishigori.... AND IN THE BACKGROUND is Victor stretching out Yuri. (”Oh, that’s why I am sore all over,” says Yuri.)
Georgi then comes in to reveal that Victor and Yuri actually had a fight last night (Phichit: YOU... GOT DIVORCED...?!) , but about what he does not remember... he rattles off some words that sound vaguely like “penis” before they realize it’s “Chihoko”! The word on Yuri’s back! So, it’s in Russian, and if Yurio and Georgi didn’t write it, that must mean... VICTOR. 
So then Emil comes in, who apparently came to Japan on jet skis or something, and informs them that he knows where Victor is... He’s at Hasetsu Castle... on the roof, naked. 
So they all run down there and it’s revealed what really happened. 
While they were stretching Victor commented on how Yuri’s belly is soft but his back is rigid. Yuri says of course he can’t compare to Victor, but there is someone more limber than Victor... “Sha... Chihoko...”
Okay so. The joke here is that Victor hears this and thinks it’s the name of Yuri’s ex-lover and gets jealous. But the thing is, I have NO IDEA what Yuri was actually trying to say? It had to mean something because people in the theater were laughing. I know it also sounds vaguely like “penis” but that alone cannot be the joke... HELP. 
EDIT: OKAY. I think I got it. It’s a mythical carp which bends backwards. I should have known this because it’s also Nagoya thing. The statues of them are on Nagoya castle too. This ties in with them going to the castle in the end OF COURSE.
(EDITEDIT: Guys I’m sorry but it’s NOT that Yuri was saying Victor was too tense. I know you must think I’m nuts but grammar wise Yuri was comparing Victor to a person or an object. I know that sounds like that could make sense but you’ll just have to believe me. The whole point was that Victor IS flexable... but not as flexible as “Shachihoko”... Yuri even refers to “Chihoko” as “aitsu” as in “that guy” which makes Victor’s blood boil. And once again the castle part completes the joke.)
So Victor writes “Overcome Chihoko” in Russian on Yuri’s back and then goes off to train. There is this whole montage of scenes from the anime as Victor reflects on the fact that Yuri had a past before him but... VICTOR IS HIS NOW.
So, in present time Yuri shows up at the castle to find Victor bending over backwards on the roof:
Victor: IS THIS BETTER THAN CHIHOKO? Yuri: WHO THE HELL IS CHIHOKO. Nobody is better than you. 
In the end he convinces Yuri to strip and do stretching too as the skaters below gaze up at the amazing one in a million sight. 
Phichit: MY BEST FRIEND GOT REMARRIED...!!!!
The end. 
What followed was a live performance of “You Only Live Once” and a really cool ending ceremony. Everyone came out with laser pointers imitating the fireworks in the ending. Then they showed a slideshow of photos from the event (as in stuff that JUST happened) also to mimic the anime ending, and finally at the very end they showed a time lapse photo revealing that the voice actors were not waving the laser pointers randomly. They were spelling out the words “thank you”....... AWWWWWWWWWGHHHH--
So at the afternoon show the end was the end.
This meant if there was going to be any announcement it would be in the evening show. As it wound down I was skeptical there would even be one because Kubo-sensei actually said something about taking a “season off”... and I was like NO... NOOOO.
But then the display dimmed and we say that one card which said “All new original movie has been decided!” I wish I had more info, but that was it! No key visual or date, just... we’re getting a movie! It’s coming! It’s not a second season, but, I guess they have their reasons.

【MAMORU MIYANO LIVE TOUR 2016 ~MIXING!~】Yokohama Arena -December 17&18, 2016- Live Report
I’m finally writing this up! Sorry for such a long wait! (It’s also...super long, because I wrote about pretty much everything...^^; This report is mainly for my own remembering purposes, so sorry if things don’t make sense at times! AND I FINISHED IT IN TIME FOR MAMO’S BIRTHDAY! Mamo-chan, happy birthday~ ^^ Thank you so much for being you~)
I will talk about both days in my report! I’ll specify the day when it becomes relevant~ But I think I’d like to talk mainly about the 17th because that’s the day I went together with @aishiteruitsumo6 ^^ To talk a little bit about the morning of the 17th, after not getting any sleep the night before, (talking about Shoutan and Mamo in a convenience store for literally like, 3 hours in the middle of the night xD), the two of us met up super early that morning to go line up for goods! Kelly-chan was in charge of all the navigation…I’d never had made it to Yokohama arena without her!! (Thank you, Kelly-chan!!) We got to the Arena pretty early…there weren’t thhhhaaaat many people before us, but there were certainly many many more people that came after us! (When we went to go line up…there was a lady that dropped her glove in front of us and no one seemed to be picking it up…after asking Kelly-chan, I went back to grab it and find the person who dropped it to give it back to her. She was really thankful as she had been looking around her bag for it! I’m happy I went back for it!) While in line, I wrote my letter to Mamo-chan because I had procrastinated so much on it. xD Kelly-chan and I spoke mainly using English and I was freaking out over grammar in a specific section and another lady who was in line in front of us asked me if I needed help in English!! She spoke with very, very little accent! None at all almost and she helped me with the line! xD Kelly-chan also helped me a lot! (Thank you again!!) We entered the room with the goods soon and it was weird this time…because they didn’t give us sheets to check what we wanted at all…we went up to the people and told them what we wanted!! Which was a little terrifying because I wasn’t sure what I wanted!!! xD I tend to make lots of impulse buys, so having the sheet of paper had always been very helpful to budget money…xD Instead I was freaking out while standing in line, writing down on my iphone what I wanted and using the calculator on my iphone to calculate money. Mamo music played on a speaker system and it honestly sounded really odd…I think that the bass was turned up too high and there was very little treble in the sound. It made my head hurt a little but I was way too anxious over what I was going to buy. xD “Golden Night” came on though and I started dancing along during the chorus. I was super happy to see other people dancing along too~ Kelly-chan pointed it out to me that there were other people that started dancing too, uffufufu~ Another song that played over the speaker was “Not Alone”! Kelly-chan liked that one! ^^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After buying things and taking lots of pictures, and freaking out about some stuff…xD; The two of us went to go eat lunch…AND THE FOOD WASN’T THAT GREAT LOL, WE MADE A MISTAKE. We chose to eat this soba-ish soup? Because Kelly-chan wasn’t feeling well and it wouldn’t be best to eat anything that had too much flavoring and stuff…well, the soup tasted kinda awful ^^; I ordered a very sugary soup though that made up for it! I felt kinda guilty eating it because of how sugary it was, omg. xD
Tumblr media
There was still at least 5 more hours until the doors to the Live opened and so the two of us sat outside for a little bit while I continued writing Mamo-chan’s letter and the two of us listened to Shoutan’s “Endless Song” CRIES, IT’S SO GOOD, (which I arranged for a flute quartet for my senior flute recital, uffufufu) anyways~ We stayed outside on the bench until it got a bit too cold and went and sat inside a McDonalds for the next several hours! That’s where I finished writing my letter to Mamo-chan…and the two of us also took semi-naps while in McDonalds. ^^; Mamo fans were everywhere btw!! I would look around and I’d see people with koitsu on their bag and carrying all kinds of merch…I always forget until I’m there that I always feel like I belong when I’m there…You walk around, and you see people who have koitsu on their bag, and wearing mamo merch…that’s not something that you see everyday in America. I always freak out when I see other people…but I have to contain myself so hard because they all think it’s normal…!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways! Kelly-chan and I made our way to the venue soon and took lots of pictures and things!! ^^ They were playing the preview music videos of “The Birth” and “Tempest” on the display board on Yokohama Arena and I was flipping out because “The Birth” is a little….^^;;;; But anyways, we soon made our way inside and Kelly-chan helped me with giving my letter to a staff ^^; (Thank you again, Kelly-chan!!!) I took a bunch of more pictures of the flowers that people sent that were on display outside the seating~ There were so many pretty flowers! ^^
Kelly-chan and I made our way to the center stage!!!  First day pic:
Tumblr media
(We were so blessed!!! The second day I was in the Stand...so far awayyy…but I’m still very thankful I was able to go ^^)  Second day pic: 
Tumblr media
Anyways! A really tall dude was next to Kelly-chan and an elderly-ish man sat to my left. So many Mamo fans! ^^ We were freaking out because we were pretty close to the stage! ^^ I was so nervous…I was about to see Mamo-chan again after 4 months… ‘I’m going to see him soon, I’m going to see him soon’ I thought, freaking out, lol…
The lights dimmed, and I don’t remember if I screamed or not. Even if I didn’t out loud I was definitely screaming on the inside. No matter how many of Mamo-chan’s performances I go to, the excitement when the realization hits that I’m actually going to see Mamo-chan throws me off my mental balance every time ^^;
The screen in front of us went dark and the opening movie was starting!! It was a mixture of different movies…there was one of someone in a car (that was Mamo), then a person a podium in a suit (that was Mamo), a person floating in a room (thaat was Mamo too) but it wasn’t showing his face directly. Now pan to Mamo in lounging clothes in what kinda looks like a living room switching channels on a t.v. Everyone was screaming, lol. He yawned as he changed the channels and I heard giggles all around me~ He kept changing until it got to a boxing channel! His face lit up as he sat on the edge of his seat getting all excited. A guy in the boxing show was wearing a black loose jacket, a hood over his face (this was Mamo, lol) and right before he lifted his hood, the t.v. got all fuzzy. Mamo sighed and stood up to try and fix the t.v. but when he “fixed” it, it started flipping through each channel, showing that he, himself was the main character of each show. In the car, the camera panned to show Mamo holding a gun, rain pouring outside, in the room, the man floating was Mamo, on the podium in dorky glasses, was Mamo. And finally, the man in the boxing ring going against the large man (Stewart-san!), was Mamo. But suddenly, the television was showing him in his living room…and he was freaking out. There were heavy footsteps, Stewart-san was coming down the hallway into the room the real Mamo-chan was in. All of a sudden, there was a cage around Mamo’s living room and he couldn’t escape. Stewart-san was coming, ready to attack!! And so, at first Mamo absolutely sucked xD; He was freaking out and really acting his part, but then after he was pushed back into a corner, he became more decided and did a bunch of cool stunts and things! There was one point when he leapt up and used the fence as a foothold to attack. Before the match finished out, the scene changed and flashed to Mamo from each different scene with the words as he spoke them. “This.” “Is.” “Your.” “Day.” It was repeated and suddenly, the screens were showing us!!! Showing us the audience!!! “This is Your Day”
We were then given a mission! Mission one was to clap! And the second mission was to sing! The “wooahhh~ wooah~” that’s in SHOUT! And as the audience did that, the opening movie came back, Mamo-chan was still fighting Stewart-san!! And we kept clapping and singing and then…!!! Lights!! MAMO-CHAN WAS THERE! In the middle of movable fence pieces that resembled the fence in the opening video and from his SHOUT MV. He was standing there in the center with his hood up and the dancers were moving the fence pieces around! Mamo-chan started singing…and his voice was just as clear as day. But I strained to see his face as he still had a hood over his face…When he finally flung his hood behind, my scream was accompanied by several others. There he was, there he was~ I bounced up and down singing along. I was so excited singing the bits that the audience sings: “Woaaahhhh woaahhh ooohhhhh~” and “HEY!” To be part of the audience like the SHOUT MV had…I was freaking out X3
Burning Point was next!! And I turned to Kelly-chan and tried to tell her that it was one of Mamo-chan’s older songs! I don’t think I was loud enough though, lolol. One that came out like, 4 years ago or so? I was so excited to be hearing it Live! I was singing and bouncing along surprised to hear such an oldie song~
AAAHHHHHH OKAAAYYYY, SO SUGAR SUGAR WAS NEXT AND LOL. HE WENT AND WAS LIKE. OH BOY. IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME. I WAS SCREAMING THE ENTIRE TIME. xDD On stage, a table was brought out with a vase of roses on top. “wahh! What pretty flowers!” Mamo exclaimed while he walked over to them and plucked one out…“who should I give them to~?” he asked while walking to the center of the arena and everyone’s penlights in the arena started waving~ On the first day, I didn’t move my penlight at all…I guess I was too…starstruck to move? ^^; Kelly-chan took my hand and started moving my penlight for me. xD While he was talking down, he brought the rose to his lips and kissed it….AND EVERYONE WAS SCREAMING. At the part in the beginning where he sins “Just for me~” he threw the rose out to the audience!!!! I wonder who the lucky girls were to get a rose from Mamo~? X3 “Sono yubisaki ga boku ni fureru, kimi no doresu my fav color,” during the first half of this bridge section of the song…he started to remove his jacket from one side of his shoulder…which translates to “those fingers of yours that touch me” (that @tsukinokakera reminded me of ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;)… AND THEN WHEN HE SANG THE “YOUR DRESS IS MY FAV COLOR” HE SHOWED HIS SHOULDER REALLY UM WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT…IN A VERY UM SUGGESTIVE MANNER?!!!?!?!!!! TO THE AUDIENCE? ARE SHOULDERS SUPPOSED TO BE SO ATTRACTIVE???? SCREAMS. CRIES. RUNS AWAY. … …… CONTINUES TO RUN AWAY. Overall though, this song was so so so cute~ :3c ...withslightlyquestionablepartsum.
Ahh, gee, Tempest. The visuals at Yokohama were so amazing. While he sang this song, the background images was literally a storm and there was a wind blowing at the stage, his clothes fluttered and it was so moving!!
BLACK…OR WHITE…OH BOY. WHAT DO I EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS? IT WAS. IT WAS TOO MUCH. I was watching through my hands covering my face. I just couldn’t. Nope. I noped out guys, it was so biwfjlndaksm that I’ve blocked most of it from my memory. Mainly my fault for not writing this report 5 months ago xD But iuwbfeajknlsljkbfsdnl. ^^;;;
KissxKiss is how it always is and so cute~ I love that Mamo always includes this song because of how much engagement there is with Mamo and the audience. The whole arena was pink~ I really need to get a better penlight that doesn’t just have red, white and blue. Seeing everyone with pink in their penlights and doing the same “kimi ni kiss!” move that Mamo does is so much fun~
For the ballad corner! Mamo-chan started How Close You Are! I was so surprised to hear this! ^^ Since he had sung it at Generating!, I didn’t expect to hear this beautiful song during Mixing as well! The guitar intro…the background…the starry night, it was absolutely wondrous. I was so spellbound by this song. 
RINNE…ah…RINNE…this is my second favorite Mamo song. This is the song I was looking forward to listening and watching the most. T_T It was beautiful, beyond all my expectations. Mamo-chan’s voice is really so beyond me. His ballad songs are so beautifully divine…heehee, before he sang this song on the second day, he spoke with us a little bit. :3 “This song, do you all believe in this song?” “YES!!!” everyone responded! “There’s a chance, that we all knew each other in a different lifetime…,” I was freaking out because…omg…that’s what I always think about when I hear this song…and to hear it come from his mouth, I don’t think I was breathing. I felt like the whole audience was bubbling with a sort of anticipation. X3 “You were probably all reading stone tablets to get the latest Mamo news” xDDDD (t/n: I’m not sure if what he said was stone tablets, but it was some equivalent to it xD) It’s cute to think that perhaps, all us Mamo fans were following him in another lifetime too~? Or best friends or something~? :3 I like to think so! ^^
SANBIKA! I sang along the entire time~ This is, I think, the first Mamo song that I learned all the lyrics to! And the only song my brother sings along with me when it comes on my shuffle in my car, lol. Another Mamo oldie song~ I feel like this song really brings out the…pureness of Mamo’s voice. His voice just springs forth so effortlessly…so pure and beautiful. Guys, I’m so love, help me. On the second day, the song here was Beautiful Life~ I’d never heard Mamo sing this live…~ But I’d seen an audience sing Beautiful Life for Mamo during the Request Live he had a few years back~ ^^ It’s such a beautiful song as well~ ^^ I was so surprised though!! I was expecting Sanbika but it was Beautiful Life instead. I love all of Mamo-chan’s Ballad songs though~ :3
GOURBEFJWLANKDS. Okay so, xD For this next song, Mamo said that this was a new version of an old song. “It’s a song I want everyone to sing together, is that okay?” “HAAAAAI!” Everyone exclaimed! “Wow, you guys are amazing, Even though you don’t know what the song is, you all say that you’ll sing it” xDD And then he said~ “You all know how to sing all of Mamo’s songs, right?” AND I. LOL. GUESS WHAT I YELLED. REALLY LOUD. “HAI!!!” I DO! I KNOW HOW TO SING ALL OF MAMO’S SONGS!....AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOUTED THAT. NO ONE ELSE DID. And the person who was sitting to my left (NOT KELLY-CHAN BUT SHE LAUGHED TOO) LAUGHED AT ME AND I WAS SO EMBARASSED. ANNNyywaayYYYYYSSS!!!. xD It was J☆S! It was a ballad version this time! And the lyrics were up on the screen for us to sing to when he wanted us to sing along~ I like the original song, but the ballad song is nice too~ On the second day, when Mamo-chan was telling us he wanted us to sing with him this surprise song, everyone’s penlights were turning to yellow already and he noticed xD “Some people know already and are giving it away. But there are really some people who are freaking out about what song it is!!” xD (I don’t have yellow on my penlight…I really need to get a universal one!!)
I’ve forgotten...most of the talk during the Ballad Corner, ^^; only bits and pieces. But a couple things that I solidly remember and want to write here...The first day, I believe, the bass player, Damae said that for “taking Mamo-chan on a date” scenario, that he would take Mamo skiing!!! Something that he wants to do the most, cuz he’s never skied before! Annnd...on the second day I believe. Something memorable for all the members during the trip. Kihara-san talked about food xD He was the only one to talk about food and everyone else’s was super sentimental, like Sano-san, he said, I believe, that no matter where they went, the way Mamo communicates with his fans, and the way we all love each other, the admiration and warm atmosphere, no matter where Team Mamo goes, the warm feeling is the same. c:
UGWOBJKSDNLAKMS.AKJBDALNKRBAFJLSKNDDMZN. WHAT DO I EVEN SAY NOW. THE MOVIE. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. OH WHAT DO I EVEN SAY. KELLY-CHAN WAS LAUGHING EVEN HARDER THAN I WAS. It was just AWFUL X’DDDDD It was kind of based off of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! How LOLOLOL, the dubbing was off from the mouth movements xDDDDD And it was ALL MAMO. xDDDD What do I even say? xD omg…basically…there was one Mamo…and then another Mamo…xDD Papa Mamo, MAMONSA, grandma Mamo, Policeman Mamo…xDDD It was too much, I’ll just. XD I’ll just leave this out of my report xDDD
Upside Down!!!!!!!! :3c On the first day of yokohama, Mamo would be like “upside doooooooooowwwww*NNGH*” during the recap of the dance lecture. xD On the second day, since it was mainly the same people as on the first, we all knew that he was going to keep going with “dowwwwwwwwwww” so we all held with him all the way to the “NNGH” which made him laugh xD he then said to us “because I’m up here singing and I can’t actually hold to the *NNGH* because of how the song is, everyone make sure to do it for me ‘kay?” AND SO WE ALL DID AFTER THE FIRST CHORUS AND HE MUST HAVE HEARD ALL OF US BECAUSE HE GIGGLED FOR A BIT WHILE SINGING AND ME AND THE GIRLS AROUND ME ALL STARTED LAUGHING TOO, LOLOLOL, IT WAS SO CUTE I’M CRYING X'DDD
Moon walking!!!!!!!!! MAMO-CHAN MOON WALK. MAMOWALK. MAMOMOONWALKING. MY MIND WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN. I was screaming during the ENTIRE REMIX. It was just???!!!! SO WELL DONE???!!!! JUST, THE FLAWLESS JUST, THE SONGS, JUST OMG. HOW IN THE WORLD? I was yelling to Kelly-chan, trying to tell her about all these old songs that were being all Mixed up!! (see what I did there~? X3;;;) BUT I JUST KEPT CUTTING MYSELF OFF BECAUSE SCREAMING XDDD DISCOTIQUE09 AND EGOISTIC AND B O D Y R O C K which then connected into moonlight~ Which was beautiful, so beautiful and all SO SEAMLESS. UGH. STY-SAN IS FRIGGIN ON ANOTHER LEVEL. and then…break it and finally New Order…ahh, there was a giant mash up of songs in a remix it was amazing AND GEE. THE OUTFIT CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THIS ABSOLUTE BRILLANCE? O. M. G. The amount of screaming here is definitely what got me sick. LOL.
AND THEN IT ALL TIED INTO IDENTITY. SEAMLESS. WAS MAMO-CHAN TIRED? HE DEFINITELY WAS. omg. He was standing there, the music started, the hands. My first thought was. omigosh. Nana-chan, I need to tell Nana-chan. @jennshaiel The rose petals… The music… Mamo’s voice, the dance. I never thought I’d be able to see Identity Live…it was breathtaking. It was always amazing seeing it through my computer screen. But…seeing the real thing…breathtaking. Absolutely took my breath away.
Crazy Wonder Night! I didn’t expect to be so hyped for this song. xD I was expecting Don’t Stop! to be the call and response song, but instead it was Crazy Wonder Night!!! Which was uh, SUPER QUESTIONABLE THE FIRST DAY. TO THE POINT WHERE MAMO WAS LIKE: “Wow, you guys really do whatever I tell you to, huh.” OOOOTTTTTLLLLLLL. I was yelling “BAKA” at Mamo after that….SUPER QUESTIONABLE EXPERIENCE. I WAS. SO UNCOMFORTABLE. LOL. UH. ANYWAYS, the second day was a lot…um, more, uh, PG FRIENDLY. SCREAMS. We had a call and response kind of thing with Yoko Ari’s mascot~ :3c It was super cute ^^
SHINE!!!!!! Mamo hoped on one of those things that go around the arena! When he got to us…omg…he was so close. I froze up again xDD Kelly-chan was freaking out for me I felt xD “He’s so close!” I could hear her say, but I couldn’t wave my penlight at all, I just stared at him. xD;;; Someonehelpme. This is such a happy uplifting song, it never fails to cheer me up~
***~ Here, during this break, Mamo talked a little bit…he was talking about how everyone has troubles and worries, that each and everyone of us are struggling through something. And during those times, in our everyday lives, he hopes that we’ll listen to his songs, and know that he’s right there with us. That his songs will bring us strength, that we’re not alone. He said, “everyone is having a great time right? Everyone is smiling! But I know, that underneath that smile, you are hurting, you’re in pain and have things you don’t know if you can overcome…in that time there are those who listen to my songs, and listening to them, I hope you feel like I’m by your side through my song, that you’re not by yourself” which then connects with The Birth. ~***
THE FRIGGIN BIRTH OMG. IT WAS SO COOL GUYS. THE BACKGROUND IMAGES. omg. I could really feel Ajin’s atmosphere. IBM was floating up and ugh, it was such a wonderful performance. The Birth, is such in amazing song. Really a song that only Mamo-chan can sing. STY-san and Mamo collab work is really beyond me.
Encore…MAMO! MAMO! MAMO! ^^; Every time, I’m with those few fangirls that start shouting his name the moment he leaves the stage. When else would I be able to shout Mamo’s name at the top of my lungs? When else am I able to be surrounded by so many Mamo fans? MAMO MAMO MAMO!! I always lose my voice. xDD
When Mamo came back to the stage, DON’T STOP! I was surprised to hear this song!! Since it wasn’t the call and response song, I was really surprised since I had been expecting Break it! because it’s a song that has so much meaning. DON’T STOP! is such a great song too~ Lol, most all of Mamo’s songs are great so ^^; and I am most likely biased. xD
OH MAN. GRAVITY. :DD I really really like this song! And the background imagery was so cute~ There was a pink and blue comet that were going around chasing each other through the sky…I think that…from what he said before this song, they connected so well with each other…because we’re all together, connected by gravity on this world. He’s here for us, but not only that, we as fans are all there for Mamo. This is such a sweet song, and I’m so thankful this is the song he ended with. This!!!! IS WHERE!!!! The streamer thingys came out!! AND!!!! KELLY-CHAN CAUGHT ONE!!! AND GAVE IT TO ME!!!!! We were both screaming and freaking out~ X3 And then ANOTHER ONE CAME TOWARDS US!!! So Kelly-chan was able to get one as well~ :3
On the second day of Yokohama! DOUBLE ENCORE. My throat was sore and I got sick probably because of screaming so much during the Live xD; MAMO! MAMO! MAMO!
He came back! This time everyone in Christmas headgear! Mamo was wearing a Reindeer Santa Hat~ So cuute~ He was showing it off and everyone was saying “Kawaaaiiiii~” :3c And slowly, since they came out all Christmas themed, everyone’s penlights were slowly changing to red and green! When I noticed the red and green around me, I changed my penlight from blue to red~ And suddenly, after a little bit of talking, Mamo realized!!!! He was like. “WOW. GUYS. WHEN DID YOU ALL CHANGE TO CHRISTMAS COLORS? HOW? THIS COULDN’T HAVE BEEN CORRIDINATED RIGHT?” He was really moved ^^ Everyone somehow, silently communicated to each other with colors, all of us combined as Mamo’s audience, we changed our lights to Christmas colors…how amazing…really, how moving and amazing ^^ Anyways, during this short talk section, he talked about things coming up, the new album!! That’s coming out soon, The Love! And…he also talked about how there was the second part of Crest of the Royal Family coming out, that has ended now! Something he said, omg. xD He started talking using his Izmir voice, a voice I hadn’t heard in a while and nearly fell over. ^^;;;; He said something along the lines of “I’ll be using that whip again” as he imitates using a whip…(There was a section…in Royal Fam where he uh, whips Carol..andumanyways) We all screamed. LOL “YABAI” I screamed lol. “do you wanna be punished?” he asked next “YES!!!!” WAS EVERYONE’S RESPONSE (INCLUDINGMINE) and he laughed at us xD “are you guys serious? X’D" he asked xD
Finally, he ended with Golden Night~ :3c A wonderful song, I think, to end the second and final night~ ^^ He went on the thingy that goes around the arena again~ :3
On the first day, Kelly-chan and I left and I was so out of it. xDD;;; Have pulled an all-nighter together, I was falling asleep on my feet xD I’m so thankful Kelly-chan was there with me. I wouldn’t have made it home without her, cuz I fell asleep on one of the train switches back ^^;;;;; She waited with me on a bench until I was feeling ready to walk again, and I so supper appreciate it~ On the second day, I’d gone by myself…AND LOST MY TOKIYA PARKA PASS TO RIDE THE FRIGGIN TRAIN. AND I RAN AROUND TRYING TO FIND IT. And Kelly-chan checked twitter and helped me find it!!! I’m so so so thankful to Kelly-chan for being there for me~ ^^ Thank you so much, Kelly-chan~ And when I’d made it back to Tokyo, we went to Shinjuku together to find out what color our smile is~ X3c
