20120818 Mayday五月天 at Summer Sonic Osaka 2012

Summer Sonic 2012 @ Osaka was a ball of fun!

Last Saturday morning I had planned to arrive at Cosmosquare station in Osaka to catch the earliest bus to the festival site. Unfortunately I couldn't pull myself out of bed early enough so I arrived at the station about 45 minutes later than I had scheduled, to find a massive line of festival goers queuing up to board the festival shuttle bus. Luckily the line moved rather fast so I was on the shuttle bus in no time

The festival site is huge - I got lost finding Mountain Stage where Mayday were to perform! The stage were all outdoor (except for Sonic Stage which was held at Maishima Arena) and it was HOT HOT HOT! The temperature the previous day was 37C O__O I was told the weather in Kansai is hotter than Tokyo, but I didn't expect it to be this hot.

Flower Stage
Finally navigated my way to Mountain Stage after trekking across the festival field under the scorching hot sun, which was in the corner of the field...

hello Mountain Stage - found you at last!

the morning crowd at Mountain Stage
There was a small crowd when I arrived at Mountain Stage. Smaller than I expected - then again Mayday aren't that popular in Japan. Beside me was a group of fans from Mainland China and I could spot a few other local Mayday fans.

Mayday took stage at 11:50am, it was a relatively short set (they played a longer set in Tokyo Summer Sonic - will blog on that in my next post) Monster and Ashin introduced themselves in Japanese, Stone in English, Masa in Taiwanese and they took the opportunity to promote their Facebook page.

photography strictly prohibited.. but i managed to sneak a few shots 


After Mayday's performance, it was time to hit the watering hole. This is Japan afterall, so there was an abundance of watering holes at the festival

無限創造DNA演唱會幕後公開展

Another long overdue post..

Two weekends ago I went to Huashan Park to check out the DNA Behind the Stage exhibition, I was expecting a large crowd of fans as it was the opening day, only to find the place empty as a desert. Well not quite, but almost.

If you had pre-purchased the entrance ticket (NTD250 each) through 7-11's ibon prior to August 4th, you get a free DNA bear ticket holder (pictured below - choose from 1 of two colours) worth NTD199. Not bad eh?



5 live size figurines at the side of the main entrance. they must be worth a lot cos when I went, there were 2 B'in Music staff and one security guy watching over them LOL



ticket counter - if you haven't pre-purchase your entrance ticket you can buy a ticket here. If you already have a pre-purchased ticket, you can redeem your free DNA bear ticket holder here

the entrance

The first thing I realise when I entered the place was how dim the lighting is, it's like being inside a cinema

Noah's Ark concert costume


Lego Mayday from the 第一天 MV played during the Noah's Ark concert


handwritten messages from the band members - so who's got the nicest handwriting? ;)



this is the green laser room - the huge white block is actually a Transformer 

and here's the mini DNA stage room - it's like being inside a DNA concert hall and there are several monitors set up in the audience area where you get a feel of what it's like to be working 'behind the stage' during the concert

oops~ i cued the wrong song!



All in all, I was kind of disappointed with the exhibition. The whole idea of behind the stage of a mayday concert just wasn't worth holding an exhibition for it - It was just another event for them to milk (more) money from their ever growing fanbase *sigh*

Last but not least, the merchandise section.. more $$$.. I rest my case.






This exhibition is (strictly) for die-hard fans only LOL. The exhibition is open daily from 9am to 6pm, starting August 4th till October 28th. To get to Huashan Park, alight at Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT station (忠孝新生) on the Bannan line. Huashan Park is a 10 minute walk from the MRT station
