☆ Kinki Kids Dome Tour ~ font de Anniversary (30/12/2004) ☆

I started to like Kinki Kids’ songs when I first went to Japan in Oct 1997. I heard their song almost during my whole trip because they had released their first single then. So from then, I have been following Kinki’s songs.

Last year before I planned for my Japan trip, I told myself that I must go for Kinki’s concert since I will be in Japan. So I managed to buy their concert ticket for 9700yen (original price around 6000yen) at a ticket shop in Shinjuku. R and I were seated apart as our tickets cost differently.

It was the first time I attended a concert at Tokyo Dome. I was amazed by the number of people at Tokyo Dome. Imagine having 10 to 20 thousands people appearing at the same venue. I queued for the concert goods outside Dome, so cold then. And only after I entered the stadium, I realized there were stalls inside the stadium too. >_<

When then lights dimmed and Kinki appeared on stage and started singing new single “Anniversary”, I was like “Wow!!!” I have never thought that I would attend their concert. The whole stadium was lighted up with 營光棒 full of different colours (it changed colours by itself). I was seated at the centre, facing the stage. So I could see how beautiful the whole stadium was when the營光棒lighted up. I was touched by the sight I saw and 我的心情佷激動.

As Kinki just released their second selection album and new single on 22 Dec, they sang the songs from the selection album and single. I was so happy because I knew most of the songs! When Kinki sang ね、がんばるよ, my tears rolled down uncontrollably. I have always like that song and the lyrics were meaningful. At that moment, I felt “Kinki のコンきったようがたです。”

I was also surprised that Kinki sounded so well singing live. I heard them singing live at variety show many years back, and it was.. er.. This time they really improved and sound almost same in CD!

Before they ended the concert, 剛 sang the first line of “Anniversary” without music, then all the audience started to sing. 超感動!

Oh, NEWS appeared at Kinki’s concert! So I managed to listen to them sing live and saw 山P. I still remember I could not see the screen clearly and asked the girl who sat beside me who were they. When I heard NEWS, 山P straight away appear on my mind is So I started searching for him on the screen. They started talking about the Big Johnny Countdown concert. When they wanted to sing, they said they want to go to the stage at the other end (just in front of my section) to sing. Oh, so happy. So I tip toed and tried to catch sights of 山P. They discussed for quite a while on how to dance. 剛 could not stand it and got ‘angry’ and asked them to sing. So funny.


I would like to attend Kinki’s concert again if I have the chance. I always feel happy and energetic when I listen to their songs. I do not really 迷 them, but they have always been in part of my heart.

David Tao Soul Power concert (7/12/2003) and Eagles Concert (18/10/2004)

These are the other 2 concerts I could not forget. David has the power to motivate everyone to stand up and dance. I sat alone (bought the ticket last minute) but I still enjoyed myself.

I am not Eagles fan but I must really salute them for their great songs and great sound system. It was the best sound system I heard in Indoor Stadium. Also, when they sang “Desperado”, the whole stadium lighted up with lighters and mobile phones. 超感動! Thanks to R for inviting me to the concert. If not I would have missed out such a great performance!
