11.06.09 [Fan account] MBLAQ @ Rain’s Japan Fanmeeting!
December 7, 2009
======================
Yesterday I went to Rain’s fanmeeting in Japan.Though I really wanted
to get a ticket, it was really really hard to get it because Rain is
so popular here in Japan.
There were so many people who couldn’t get tickets…
That’s why Mnet Japan which held this fanmeeting dicided to broadcast
it by relay in other place.We bought its ticket and went there.The
hall was very small and had a big screen.
Fanmeeting started with “It’s Raining”!
When Rain appeared, we all screamed at screen!! Even though Rain
himself was not there, we were so excited to see him! Rain sang “It’s
Raining” and “How to avoid the sun”. He was soooooooo HOT!!
To tell the truth he seemed to get tired a little but his performance
was so good as usual!
After he sang 2songs, MC appeared on the stage. They talked about
Ninja Assassin and LoR.
Rain had a lot of sneeze (God bless you!) He explained it was
because he visited many countries from October and his physical
condition was not good for the time difference. Poor Rain…
He drew a self-portrait and wrote some Japanese letter a little. It
was too cute!
I didn’t know he could write a japanese letter like that. So admirable!!!!
At last Rain introduced MBLAQ!
He said “chic-dol was born. They are not perfect yet, but please
support them with much love.”
and….!!!!
MBLAQ appeared on the stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!
I was soooooooooooooo excited!!
They started their first performance in Japan with G.O.O.D Luv. It was
really amazing! They seemed not to get nervous. I found G.O changed
his hairstyle. He looked younger than before.hahaha
They introduced theirselves in Japanese and showed some individual
performance as follows;
All of performances was GREAT!!! I was really lucky to see them!
Seungho and Joon didn’t have good condition, but they did their best!
They had a short interview after it.
MC asked “Where did you go to in Japan?”
They said “Tokyo tower, Harajuku, Ginza, Korean town”
and, one more question was “Do you have any request for Rain?”
Joon answered. “Practice is so hard… Please give us a short
rest!….Forgive me!”
Also Mir answerd like this. “Rain thinks everyone can do what Rain can
do…but sometimes it’s really difficult for me to do like
Rain…Forgive me!”
funny answers they had!
While MBLAQ was on the stage in a main hall, Rain came to our hall
too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t expect that! He is so kind!!
I couldn’t remember what he said at all bacause I kept screaming at him!!
His appearence was very short, but we felt happy! Thank you Rain!
Rain was back to main hall.
And….time had come! MBLAQ performed Oh Yeah in Japanese!!!
I think I felt more nervous than MBLAQ theirselves. I know Singing in
foreign language is hard…..
BUT!!! They did it!! Thier Pronounciation was not bad.
All of fans were satisfied with it!
At the end, Rain was on stage again!
He performed “Rainism”, “I do”, “instead of goodbye”.
I was happy to listen to “instead of goodbye”.bacause he didn’t do it in LoR.
There was no encore.
but!!!! MBLAQ came to our hall to see us like Rain!!!!!
I screamed AGAIN!!! wow!!!
I LOVE J.tune family!!!
Thank you for coming to us! Rain! MBLAQ!
It was a great fanmeeting!
In January Rain will have a concert in Osaka. MBLAQ will be as a guest!
Definitely I will go to see them!
Thank you for reading!
P.S. I wish my english would be better…
