We Will Rock You Finale


A big advert on WWRY outside Esplande

I attended WWRY Finale last night.

The audience power was electrifying. There screams, clappings and singings. Some audience (like me) used lightings (瑩光棒) and waved it during the musical. The cast was touched. I can see smiles on their faces. Even MiG was smiling when he was acting and heard our screams and shouts.

At the last part of the musicial, when the whole cast was on stage, the audiences went crazy. The whole theatre was filled with our clappings and singing. All the audiences stood up. Few of them even rushed to the front of the stage. The atmosphere was much better than the concerts I have been to in Singapore.

MiG was so exicited that he jumped down from the stage, dashed across the audience and me! I was seated at the 6th row, left side of the stage, aisle seat. When he ran back to the stage, I managed to touched his right arm. (^-^) I like his biceps. He has very nice and even biceps.

I shouted so much that I almost lost my voice. I have never been so crazy in the musical or even concerts in Singapore.

After the musical ended, Rus and I went to wait for MiG. There were quite a number of fans there. MiG came out especially to sign autographs and take photos with fans. He's so sweet. I managed to get him to sign on his CD covers (Rus and my copy). Too bad I don't have the chance to take photo with him as there were fans crowding around him and he has to rush off.

It's really nice to see MiG and the cast of WWRY again. I hope their performance at Hong Kong and Bangkok will be successful.

MiG and WWRY cast, thank you for giving me such unforgettable experience. I will never forget it and hope to see you all again. Take care!

ASKA Symphonic Concert Tour 2008 "Scene"

I attended Aska's concert at the Esplande on last Saturday, 26 April.

Aska did a collaboration with the Singapore Symphonic Orchestra for this solo concert in Singapore. It was the first time I attended a orchestra concert. Kind of feel like Nodame when I saw the orchestra setting.

As usual, Aska did not speak much during the concert. He spoke in English, Japanese and slight Chinese. Aska's singing is good and blend well with the orchestra. The songs were slow and sentimental. I kind of feel like dozing half at the middle of the concert.

It has been 12 years since I have attended Chage and Aska's concert. I feel that Aska has not changed too much, physcially. He said his songs are not popular in Singapore and his songs are not in the main stream. He's such a frank person. Although the concerts were not sold out, judging from the audience response and the sales, Aska's still has his supporters.

I am glad that I get to attend his concert. Wonder when will he be coming to Singapore to perform again. Another 12 years from now?

福山雅治のSuzuki Talking F.M

I am beginning to enjoy having computer at home.. Haha

福山雅治のオールナートニッポン 魂ラジオ

I can't believe it! I am listening to Masha's All Night Nippon online for the past 30 minutes and am still listening now! やった!

As I said one of the reasons for me to buy computer is to listen to Masha's radio programs online. I didn't pin hopes on ANA and when I first got to hear it online just now I was (am still) so happy that I walked around my room saying "oh gosh! oh gosh!"

Today's topic is about "sex." I guess Masha is the only musician beside 桑田圭祐 who talk about sex openly. Anyway, Masha's talk is really funny!

Tomorrow I shall try my luck again to listen to Masha's Suzuki Talking FM. Wish me good luck!

Computer

I finally got my computer after planning it for one year plus!

Yap, I got a desktop instead of a MaC Book. Though I would love to have the black color Mac Book (due to Masha's influence), I decided to get a desktop instead. Cheaper and faster. Bigger screen too! I got a 22 inch screen. Haha.

My internet access will only activate this Friday. So got to wait a while more. It's ok. Since Masha's radio programs are on weekend. I hope I can listen to his radio programs live!

Why do I want to get a computer? Listen to Masha's radio programs, surf net, download and do photo editing. Basically just for own entertainment and yet I don't have much time at home. I'm crazy to spend this kind of money.

Anyway, I'm happy that I bought another electronic goods with my own hard earned money.

It was the first time for me to go Sim Lim Complex last Saturday. The crowd was tremendous. I don't enjoy going there. Not interested in those stuff anyway. I enjoyed more when doing window shopping at Japan's electronic shops.

Oh oh, got to set up the modem on my own this Friday. I hope I can managed it...

EXILE Dome Tour 2008


EXILE Dome Tour Schedule

日 程 会 場 開場 / 開演
11月30日(日)福岡Yahoo!JAPANドーム 15:00 / 17:00
12月6日(土) 京セラドーム大阪 16:00 / 18:00

12月27日(土) 東京ドーム 16:00 / 18:00
12月31日(水)札幌ドーム 20:30 / 22:30

The schedule is finally out. Only 7 concerts in whole of Japan. Each dome can accomodate 55,000 people. So 385,000 fans will attend the concerts. I have to fight with EXILE fans from whole Japan for the concert tickets.

I would expect one more concert at Tokyo Dome. But I know it is rather difficult as Kinki Kids will have concerts at Tokyo Dome during that period (normally start on 30 Dec each year). I guess every fans have to try very hard to get the tickets this time.

I am looking at Nagoya and Tokyo Dome concerts. Hopefully I can get the tickets. In a way, I am quite glad that EXILE has the concerts in year end as it will kind of coincide with Masha's 大感謝祭 (if he is holding it this year).

I have been thinking hard these few weeks - whether I can go for w-inds summer concerts this year. I guess it is difficult. Spent too much last year and I am very broke now. My priority is Masha, and since EXILE's concerts this year coincides with Masha and this year is EXILE's Perfect Year, I guess I ultimately have to give up w-inds this year.(涙)

We Will Rock You & Mig

I watched WWRY matinee show on 30 March, Sunday.

I first saw this musical on Japan TV and wanted to watch it if it come to Sg. I was abit hesitant at first due to the high price of the ticket. Well, I am glad that I went for WWRY, though the ticket is expensive.

I was seated at Row N, 14 rows from stage and left side of the stage. But it was quite near though.

Though I am not Queen's fan, I enjoyed the musicial so much!!! It was fantastic. I think it is the best musical I have watched so far. I think there is this part in me that likes rock music.

I know nothing about the cast but I like their performance and singing. They are really good. I admire stage/musical actors. Their jobs are tougher than normal actors.

Ok, here comes the best part. After the musicial ended, I went to Marina Foodcourt and took my teabreak. I was so hungry then. And guess what? I met Mig Ayesa , the lead of WWRY, who acted as Galileo (yes, Galileo!!!) at the foodcourt. Mig was buying his dinner!

Oh gosh, I first saw him walking around at the foodcourt looking at the stalls. I thought, "Nah, couldn't be him." Rus came back from her purchase and told me yes, it's him!!!

I went to talk to him. I looked at him while he was ordering his Japanese food, standing in between his 2 crew members. He noticed me and I asked "Excuse me, are you Mig?" He replied with a big smile "Yes" and walked towards me. Oh gosh, I was so excited then. I told him I just attended the musical. He reached out his hand and shook my hand. Mig even asked me for my name, where do I sit in the foodcourt, how do I find the musical. When I told him I first knew about WWRY from Japan, he said he was not involved in the cast. But he did asked me whether WWRY met my expectations.

Mig even pointed out to me on one of his crew who acted as "Victoria Beckam." Oh gosh, I was so nervous as he stared right into my eyes. Yah, I know it is a form of courtesy. I felt トキトキ. Mig's eyes are really charming, dark blue in color. And with his friendly smile.. oh gosh. he really melted me. I couldn't control myself and showed my nervousness and excitement. I think if it was Masha, I would have collapsed on the spot. Haha.

I am quite lucky that I chatted with him for quite a while. And he is an international star. Never did I expect myself to talk to an international star. Such a friendly international star! He asked me to recommend WWRY to friends. I bid farewell to him unwillingly. Hehe. Because I don't want to disturb him and he has another show at 8pm.

When Rus and I came out of the washrooms and about to leave the foodcourt, we saw Mig at the escalator. Mig and his 2 crew stood on the escalator. "Victoria Beckam" saw me and told Mig. Mig looked up with a big smile and told me "Recommend WWRY to your friends and come for the musical again!" I think I heard he called my name. But it was too noisy and I was too engrossed in looking at him and thinking what to say to him. I then realised he wore sandals. Wow, really a easy going guy.

I started to check out on Mig and bought his album. According to his fans, he is really friendly towards his fans. Oh, I am so so lucky to have such an encounter with him.

Mig, I will be watching the finale of WWRY!!! Better seat this time and I hope to be able to see you clearer and better luck with you!

Moody

I started to get moody since early last week. Maybe because of PMS.. I'm not sure.

I had fever for 3 days from last Mon to Wed. I don't feel like doing anything ever since.. even going for hip hop. But I did went for Exotic Dance though.

I cut a new hairstyle on Sunday, hoping to change my mood and also turn off any bad luck because of the sickness. Yet... I am still moody....

This has been existed for almost a week... and yes, I think I am really sick!
