[ACCOUNT] BIGBANG Presents Love & Hope Tour 2011 - Osaka Day 1 Report (setlist omitted)

The Concert Started at 19:20 and it seems like the shortest 2 hours in the world.

Everybody was seated and the stage setting and lighting is designed to use less electric power.So,don’t compare it with BIGSHOW’s standards because Love & Hope is held under a very different condition^^

•Daesung kept saying “I love you”,”I love everybody” (will Daesung marry me,eventually?) and shot his smile all over the place.He makes me think that we don’t need the MC on stage when it’s BIGBANG boys there (don’t blame the real MC hehehe).
•GD&T.O.P came out in pimped hound-tooth suit.G-Dragon nailed the cropped ankle-length pants with his swag.So fly like a British punk kid!
•Thing got high when MC Seungri said「Tonight I’ll look for an Osaka girl at Namba Bridge」 and Taeyang hit back「That’s VI’s girlfriend」.I didn’t go to the bridge to check if he went there,but it’s better than being caught linking arms with a girl at Isetan!Oops!!(笑)
•G-Dragon’s self-introduction in Japanese rocks!He also greeted us with「Osaka～pretty girls～」(using Japanese slang “べっぴん” (beppin)) and Taeyang continued it with echoing「Osaka～saka～saka～」.I laughed my head off.
•I love Seungri VVIP stage sooooooo much.He killed it so easily smexy!!So proud of BIGBANG maknae!Yeah!
•T.O.P’s attempt at Japanese is always my treasure.I’ve never lost my hope in him when he said「I can’t speak Japanese,but everybody please work hard」to encourage us.It’s so broken,but 100% cute! T.O.P,a tip,date a Japanese and she’ll teach you the language!
•G-Dragon’s falsetto in Cafe could really shatter glass.Period.
•Taeyang’s diva hands gesture in Love Song and ad-libs is jjang.I can watch his fingers fly like that for countless times!
•VIP sang My Heaven for the encore request!Sugoiiiiiiii!I love seeing Bang sticks and penlights holding up in the air too.What a good vibe!
•G-Dragon sat on a runway and STARED back at a fan.I thought she could have died of a heart attack.I also gazed at him trying to draw his attention,but no eye contact was made or even a wave.SUCH A MAJOR LIFETIME FAILURE!Will try again in the next 7 concerts.Boss,you forget me!Aish!

[ACCOUNT] Love&Hope Tour 15 May

At the start, TOP was chewing on chewing gum, very handsome.

Jiyong faced the camera and do all sorts of funny faces.

During Tell me goodbye, TOP was rapping and then Taeyang came very close and TOP had a shock.

Today, Jiyong still seem in pain, but he continue to dance while frowning.

He also blew a flying kiss over, he threw his sweaty teeshirt to the crowd, i wonder which lucky kid got it.

He wore a yellow hat during Love Song.

TOP said, TOKYO DON’T CRY! It was so touching.

He also said something about buying coffee (the person couldn’t understand) before singing cafe.

He also said it was warm today.

[ACCOUNT] OSAKA ''Love&Hope'' Day - 2

Today was the 2nd day of the Osaka concert and it was raining even more heavily than yesterday. While I was waiting for the concert to start, I talked briefly with the VIPs behind me. I was lucky and got BIGBANG’s signed CD and even took pictures.

Last night, the Japanese blogs posted pictures of the empty spaces people saw on the left side of the arena and a lot of people were worried that tickets weren’t selling well. I asked today and found out the spaces were reserved for disabled people, and it was not for sale for the public. Tickets for the concert were on sale in 3 places and they were sold out within a few minutes of its release. Even though it rained heavily today, but a lot of people without tickets still lined up hoping to buy some and there were a lot of people buying official goods. Keke don’t worry! ^^

When BIGBANG did their intro, the order they came out was Taeyang - Daesung - Seungri - TOP - GD and they immediately sang ‘Tonight’. GD did his guitar smashing again but it was different from yesterday’s because he threw the guitar to the right side of the stage (yesterday he threw it to the left keke).

Somebody to love - How Gee - Number 1 - Top of the World <-same order as yesterday’s, then it was Seungri’s solo followed by Taeyang’s (I remember he wore a white tshirt inside his jacket last night. Today’s was black). Daesung’s solo was next. A foreigner male fan that sat next to me had already stood up by then keke. After that, it was GD & TOP’s stage. They wore different outfits today!

GD wore a dark pink suit, cropped pants that stopped at his ankles, and a pair of short black boots (Looking at his ankles then watching him jump around the stage made me amazed at how cute and handsome he could be keke). TOP was wearing a blue suit. They performed Knocked Out, Oh Yeah (GD took off his sunglasses here), and then High High. After the Jibe Kajima MV was over, only the 3 vocalists came back out to sing A Fool’s Only Tears. They didn’t sing this yesterday. GD & TOP came out after that.

Tell Me Goodbye - Let Me Hear Your Voice <—during this song, TOP held the hands of the VIPs on the 2nd floor while he was singing (was it because the fan didn’t let go? Hm I couldn’t tell since I was sitting quite far from that area). After Top of the World, it was MC time. When GD asked the crowd (in Japanese) if everyone was happy tonight, we all went crazy. It’s funny because GD & TOP’s Japanese aren’t that good but their first sentence made us scream so loud. I was right, because after GD said that, that was all the Japanese we heard from him keke. TOP tried to talk a bit more in Japanese along with both Seungri and Daesung and he attempted to do it with a Kansai accent…we could tell he had his humorous side to him too keke, but we didn’t understand what he was talking about. Poor guy kekeke.

When GD sang Cafe, the background was so nice. They had stars and meteor showers falling as the backdrop and the light only focused on GD. Everyone was very quiet during this performance so we could only hear his voice. It was so beautiful. When they sang Haru Haru, all the members came out once again and sat on the chairs but the fans on the 2nd floor near the stage could barely see them. GD turned his chair and faced them during the last part of the song.

Lies - Love Song Making Film - Love Song - Stupid Liar. Their outfits were the same, except GD wore a yellow baseball cap today. Lastly, they sang Hands Up on the extended stage and the area where the members stood rose up. GD and Seungri sat down with their legs dangling off. It looked a bit dangerous and I was worried. When the song was over, they all went backstage and it was time for the fans to sing Heaven for the encore.

The encore was Gara Gara Go and Heaven and all the members ran around the stage while singing because it was the last concert in Osaka. Taeyang was near us at one point and he took off his sweater and threw it to the first row. A girl caught it and her & her mom were so excited. They immediately put it in their bags. After the concert, 2 fans went up to them and asked if they could touch the sweater..and even took pictures with it! I wonder who caught the towel that GD threw out…!

On tonight’s encore stage, GD kept crouching down to check his leg. Even though he was sweating so much but watching him jump around everywhere made me so happy ^^. BIGBANG was so full of energy but now I’m a bit worried for them. After resting for a day, they have to continue with their concerts in Chiba. I hope the members all take care of their health!

I watched Big Show earlier in the year and even though I’m not a music specialist but if you were there at Big Show, you could tell that there was a big difference, from GD & TOP’s rap to Daesung’s Baby Don’t Cry. I have to be careful with my words but I can sense that there was more interaction with the fans and BIGBANG at Big Show. The feeling was just a bit different tonight but this is my personal reflection so it’s hard to describe. No matter what, I still liked tonight’s concert keke.

[Omitted the rest unrelated to the concert]

[ACCOUNT] LOVE AND HOPE TOUR - NAGOYA (MAY 17, 2011)

In the MC where Seungri does his Tanoshingo impersonation today he only did it twice, but then TOP said he could do it too, so Seungri asked him to but TOP did more like an impersonation of Seungri impersonating Tanoshingo, his Japanese completely incomprehensible, but so cute and dorky XDDD Everybody laughed a lot, because to see TOP doing that kind of stuff is so rare… XD I hope there’s a fancam.

Seungri said that GD was quite good at impersonating Tanoshingo, and asked him to do it too, GD all the while shaking his head in disagreement. GD was standing a little bit far from Seungri, so Seungri went to his side, put his arm around GD’s shoulder & made him go to the center of the stage. GD kept saying “chou hazukashii!” which means “this is so embarrassing!” and by his faced he was really embarrassed XD Then Seungri and GD, did the impersonation together twice, one to each side of the stage, SO CUTE AND FUNNY! I love embarrassed Jiyong to death! This happened in the small round stage. Then, when they were going back to the main stage Seungri kept saying how well GD had done it. TOP, who was walking right ahead of Seungri, stopped in his tracks and simply looked at him, asking for a compliment on his impersonation too XD Then Seungri grabbed his hand and reassured him, saying he had done it very well too, and continued walking to the main stage. But TOP stayed right where he was, still on camera, and suddenly made a sad face, like a little kid that is about to cry, w/ his eyes closed, half of the audience was saying “awwww” because of his sad face, and the other half was laughing, it was so funny, and so random.

During Lies Seungri started saying the members names, first “YoungBae, YoungBae”, then “D-Lite, D-Lite”. Then, when Seungri had to sing his part…GD said “V.I, V.I”, half a whisper but in a very sexy voice, and Seungri was so surprised that he turned to look at GD and couldn’t sing his line. GD was smiling (that smile GD always had for Seungri, if you’re a shipper, you should know this) when he said “V.I, V.I” & according to my friend, Seungri said “arigatou gozaimasu” to him, but I can’t really remember.

When they jumped from under the stage at the beginning of GGG, they were all wearing masks of Doala, Nagoya’s baseball team mascot. So cute! The others took it off when they started singing and dancing, but GD kept it in his neck and again in his face when he wasn’t singing XD

In My Heaven they all separated and went around the stages and the runways dancing a little and saying goodbye, since it was the last song. Almost at the end, Seungri was just standing in the center of the main stage looking at the audience, and GD was in one side of the main stage. Then GD went running to the other side of the stage, and when he passed by where Seungri was standing HE GAVE HIM A PAT ON HIS BUTT!!! But that’s not all! When GD finished saying goodbye to that side of the stage he went back to the center, where Seungri was still standing and put his arm around Seungri’s neck/ shoulder in a very relaxed way and stayed like that waiting for the other members to arrive & bow together. This time YB was his usual cockblock self and stood between GD and Seungri when they all bowed, but it was GD’s fault because he grabbed his hand.

Interview:

[TRANSLATION] Big Bang “Love & Hope” Concert Review on Josei Seven Magazine!
BIGBANG
[Don't go to Japan]
Korea’s cry is beyond…

On May 10th at Osaka Hall, BIGBANG’s “Love and Hope Tour 2011″ began.

“This time, it was hard to come to Japan, but we came to keep our promise with everyone.”

With these words that V.I (20yrs) said, the venue with 20,000 fans cried and their delightness peaked. The venue swung, some people were too touched to even shed a tear. There is a deep reason why these words were strongly said in all 3 days. The promise that V.I talked about is when they had a tour last February, they said “We’ll come again.” to fans.

To keep this promise, the BIGBANG members announced the “Love and Pain tour 2011″. The plans at the moment were that concerts will be held in Tokyo, Yokohama and more. But it changed because of the eartquake that happened in Eastern Japan on March 11th. Worried voices raised because BIGBANG’s tour might have been cancelled.

But they said “Because of this serious situation, we would like to give messages for energy and hope to those who suffered.”

They put thought in it and announced that the tour title was changed from “Love and Pain” to “Love and Hope” which made their Japanese fans happy. But with the Japanese tour, there was an objection from Korea.

“They are our never ending singers, and we can’t let BIGBANG who are Korean citizens, go to Japan because of the serious condition. We want the Japan tour to be cancelled.”

About 7500 fans sent their voices to the entertainment and their record company. The company announced that their stay would be shortened from 2 months to 2 weeks and the cries of Korean fans remained. But still, BIGBANG arrived on May 2nd. Leader G-Dragon said on the meeting after the tour’s first day,

“We hope that they’ll understand that it’s safe because we’re here. Japan and Korea are near countries, we must join forces to reconstruct the road to walk.” for Korean fans to understand and to tell his feelings to Japan.

So this is how the tour happened. It was a really hot evening. It wasn’t only fans who enjoyed it. Elegant faces were spotted, from idols to comedians were seen such as AKB48′s Maeda Atsuko (19yrs) and Shinoda Mariko (25yrs), Mizuhara Kiko (20yrs), Katou Miriya (22yrs), Sasaki Nozomi (23yrs), Aoyama Thelma (23yrs), Imada (45yrs), ORIENTAL RADIO’s Fujimoto (28yrs), TANPOPO, and V6. The audience and the stage at the third performance, it was the best and like flashy lake, the good parts are such as…

[FIRST DAY]

The concert started with a shocking performance of G-Dragon smashing a guitar. The venue looked like a dance floor with a lake of people holding there penlights.

TOP (23yrs) said infront of a heated fan, “Osaka was hot but TOKYO is also hot!”. SOL said that G-Dragon hurt his foot at the Osaka concert. And then G-Dragon said “It hurts a bit, but I’m alright!”.

The youngest, V.I said “Today, it’s friday the 13th. Isn’t it scary?” for some reason. Because he was kind of annoying, SOL grabbed his neck and lead him to the exit. And with this, everyone laughed a lot.

TOP joked next. After G-Dragon cooly said “Let’s get to the next song, CAFE.”, TOP asked “Is there ice coffee?” which made the venue burst even more.

[SECOND DAY]

V.I’s new impersonation for this tour is revealed.

“It’s alright in Disneyland! It’s called Mickey? I’m Mickey too! Dodosuko suko suko LOVE chu nyu♥”

To be honest, V.I’s impersonation didn’t look much like Tanoshingo’s. With this, the other members just smiled awkwardly. But only D-LITE (22yrs) said “Amazing! That was good!” with a grin.

That D-LITE who teased V.I, totally went into the world of the song when singing his solo and he let us hear his beautiful voice. There were fans who were crying. SOL, who also sang his solo, took off his jacket at the middle of the song and only had a tank top. It was stunning and it made the venue sigh.

[THIRD DAY]

For three days, G-Dragon kept pushing his injury and showed us great performances, but his foot’s limit is already approaching. At the encore stage, he could barely even walk.

V.I who was teased the day before, took a segway on stage for G-Dragon. Then G-Dragon rode it and continued the performance. This kind group love is probably one of BIGBANG’s charms.

At the last song, TOP shouted “Tokyo Don’t Cry!”, and also, SOL said “It’s the end today. We are sad too. But we’ll meet again.”.

“When you reach home, call me because I’m worried.” V.I joked until the end and his head was thrusted by G-Dragon. ”Love & Hope” had the best songs and laughs. We felt the love and hope because the five members were there.
