五月天力挺【百日告別】之「石頭~我們永遠陪伴你!」

2015/08/28&29 Just Rock It!!! 2015 TOKYO at 日本武道館

My first Mayday concert in 7 long months!! It was my first time attending a concert at the Budokan – a relief that it was a seated concert unlike the previous standing concerts at Zepp/Namba. Only thing I didn’t like was the Japan concert ticket system. Tickets are ALL priced the same, whether you get allotted a second floor seat or an arena seat. That’s just really really unfair. But that’s how concert tickets are sold in Japan.

I attended both concerts on the 28th and 28th August. On the first day I didn’t plan on going early to queue for the merchandise as there wasn’t anything on the merchandise list that I wanted. There was a crazy line for the merchandise on day 1. My friends who wanted to purchase the tees arrived at the venue at noon and queued for 3 hours! 

hello Budokan ! see the people on the first floor? they are Qing for the merchandise..
mayday gift boxes
brisk business at the merchandise booth
I returned to the venue about an hour before showtime and entry was quick. I was told to expect bag checks but on both days no bag checks were conducted. It was good seeing them on stage again after a long gap yet they haven’t lost their touch. I wish I had learned the words of their Japanese songs haha. They’ve come a long way since their first Japanese appearance and you can see improvement in their Japanese. They even have a translator on the big screen for fans who don’t understand mandarin/Japanese. You can tell they are really making an effort for everyone to understand them and not feel left out. Flumpool was their guest on both nights (no surprise) Only surprise was hearing Ryuta singing in Taiwanese and how his Chinese haven’t improved at all haha. Those who weren't at the concert will be pleased to know that the concert was recorded.. expect a DVD/bluray release soon ;)

That was the end of the Budokan concerts. Have to wait till next year to see them. By then a new album should be out, along with a brand new world tour.

五月天今年不跨年

Last night's breaking news was the passing of Nintendo's Satoru Iwata - RIP Iwata. And on a lighter note, Mayday has announced that they will not be performing at this year's countdown concert - for the first time in 13 years - to focus on their next album. Which isn't a bad thing really, looks like I will get to go on that long awaited vacation....

Happy 8th birthday STAYREAL !

Stay Real turns 8 today ! 



超犀利趴6, 倒數一個月 !

It's been forever since I last saw Mayday. I used to complain about how many concerts they were having and now I can't complain about them not having enough concerts lol. 

Super Slipper 6 next month will be my first Mayday concert in 7 months! It’s been awhile since I had front row seats ;) Looking forward to seeing Suzanne Vega too – I remember being blown away by her performance at Rock Werchter donkeys’ years ago (My name is Luka I live on the second floor..)
