Now, before reading further, you may read Part 1 first.

So let's continue where we stopped. Next up, we have Na no Hana Batake. A slow ballad. Soothing in a way coz they just have Ban chan accompanied by the piano here...and again, the backgrounds.



Really nice choice.

For this live, I guess they decided to make good use of the slides and screens for backdrop.After that, we have the rest of the band appearing, Ryo gave a little speech.

Well, from my totally lousy Japanese, I think what he was trying to say is how their music contains certain important messages, maybe like peace, love, freedom...etc...
Then, Ban chan continues and all i can make out is that they're just doing their best (maybe in delivering those messages).





Then Ryo, as always the Joker, he began to ask the crowd to follow his words. And the words are like funny stuffs...and totally random.Oh the next one is GOOD. I love this track. One or Eight.

They always, without fail, have the utmost ENERGY to play this song live. And getting the crowd to join in the fun.
Lol...they like to do random stuffs/stunts during the song.

but seriously, nothing BEATS THIS ONE.

Ryo came out with the WIG, during the encore session, together with another two members wearing wigs too. O.M.G. I laughed so loud when i saw this. Didn't see this coming.


They performed Highway Star (by Deep Purple). It's a funny performance really, overall. I'd give Ryo thumbs up for his guitar solo and total sense of humor, not so much for his vocals though.

Still, I am really really AMUSED by their long hair!!!~~ Where's the FACE???



After they finished, Ryo kept on saying stuffs like " Tokyo! God Bless YOU!!!~~~" LOL!!!!!!~~~
I mean, that's hilarious. you can tell that he's really HIGH during that moment. haha...must be the extensions!

Of course, Ban chan then appears from the side. Keeping the crowd high.

And she went straight to Ryo and playfully got rid of his uh...hair.


So friggin funny~
Oh the next song, also one of my favs! It's nice & easy. Great track!
Then comes the part where they introduced their new single for the first time, including performing it LIVE for the first time. (well, back in 2005 though, apparently that song was TAO, their last singl before their break up later on) I wonder if by then, they'd actually thought of the disbandment ...ummh....anyways, the crowd was excited to hear a new single though.


Who isnt? As a fan, I would be if I were among the crowd there that night. But nobody could foresee that this single would be their last one. (before their hiatus for 3 years, then the comeback in 2009)Although i did notice how Ban chan looked kinda sad when performing this, then again, she can be emotional for certain songs. ^^

For a first live of the song though, it's great. No flaw. So good job.

SWEET MOMENTS PICCIES!!!~~~look below~


Ban chan asking Ryo to follow her to the rear side...


and so they went....


Everything went smoothly until...Ban chan made a mistake in the lyrics (I think)...and somehow embarassed...

clung to Ryo...so funny and sweet at the same time.

and then the SUPER HUGGGGG!!!!~~~~
awww~~~~~~~~~~~
i like to see them interact with other, shows how much they've been through together (as a band i mean) ^^


Then...the band thank you....

and more hugs....

As usual, both Ryo and Ban chan stayed behind after the rest of the members went off.


I gotta say, this one here, below...

This is one of my FAV!!! ~~ I don't know, they looked...nice together, with their you know...waves lol...



final goodbye!
and lastly, a view of the entire Budoukan hall.

(finally, i finished this ahhh~~~) I'm satisfied, definitely coz there were just certain things in there that they did differently like the wig thingy and other random stuffs. I'm glad I bought the DVD xDDD
