[Concert] 『SKE党決起集会。「箱で推せ！」』 / 『SKE to kekkai shukai. 「Hako de ose! 」』 National Tour (02/02/14) | Nagoya Dome | Day 2

SKE48 has finally reached their dream stage and the dream tour has finally ended today and it ended perfectly without any sad announcements (Surprisingly). Thanks Nagoya Dome! Thanks SKE48 and good job to all the girls!!! But this is not the end of SKE, because together with the girls... We will keep on walking up the stairs!! (Damn I love saying this after watching Majisuka....)

Anyways on with the last show of this tour... I really love the unity of other SKE fans and all fans of the 48G in Japan... As all of you all can see in the above photo is a sea of orange which is the colour of SKE48/Team S. It is so pretty~ I love how they did the colour of red, green and blue as well for KII, E and KKS songs respectively. ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

As for the setlist today, it is pretty interesting as they have different center for each single songs, unit songs and Akagumi/Shirogumi songs. But what I didn't really like is they start and end of both concerts are the same... Like Tsuyokimono yo → Aozora Kataomoi → Gomen ne SUMMER! with the same senbatsu... But I guess it is okay since they started off the concert with... *Drumrolls* Escape!!!!!! and with Azumarion on the piano and Annya on the drum!! I never knew that Annya can play the drums but this song is too damn epic no matter how many times they performed it already...!!!

• Manatsu was crying during Ai no Kazu....!? Noooooooooooo Don't cry Ichigo chan... (;A;) It's gonna be so sad with you graduating soon along side with Seira san....
• Hanabi wa Owaranai!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG AS WELL!!!!!!!!! Love how they performed both this song and Kamoku na Tsuki, which is the songs that I have been listening on repeat!!
• Choco no dorei...Ego-chan....Ego-chan... EGO-CHAN centering Choco no dorei!!!! I can just imagine the amount of cuteness coming from her during this song!! Yesterday was Yuria and today is Ego-chan!
• Finland Miracle.... just imagining that after march we won't be able to see cute Manatsu perform this again is just so...。ﾟ(ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡ Can't see Rena fangirling over her anymore 。ﾟ(ﾟﾉД｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
• Yesterday it was roller skates and today it is unicycles.....!? Damn these ske girls can do almost anything!! They are just too awesome!!!
• Juritan solo acoustic of Oogoe Diamond!? dsjkfsajhsadkfjsdkljfsldka.......I so damn want to watch this performance!!
• Ohhhhhhh 48G medley of Oide Shampoo, Kamonegix, 10nen Zakura and Melon Juice?? This would be interesting~ I wanna see how SKE performs Kamonegix and Melon and Juice~~
• Cute draftees came out to say who's their second oshi and I love Nao-chan so much~~~ Jurina is my second oshi as well~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ

Recently, there are news and interviews about how the selected girls will work with Samsung and complete some tasks given to them, as well as the selected girls will form a special unit for a upcoming song which will be included in the 14th single, and tonight... they performed the song!!!

I wanna see this performance as well!!! And man.... they all look so *O* especially Juritan in those tight pants.....!!! *nosebleed* I hope it would be a cool and awesome song!! Nah wait... It definitely will be a cool and awesome song (≧▽≦)

It's really surprising that there was no announcement made today, because usually there will be one and I thought that someone might announce their graduation or something as well, but I guess we are all safe for another day~ Other than all of these, I shall get on with today's setlist!! After showing you all what the soon-to-be-grading Manatsu and Seira said during their speech... ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

“When our solo concert in nagoya dome was announced, I thought it was still too early. But when I stood on stage yesterday, I realised that I was wrong. I will never forget the scene I saw here. Thank you!” - Mukaida Manatsu (via fake49@tumblr)

“I will graduate in February.I kept on crying frm yesterday’s first song.It is all thanks to you that I hav come so far. I think today’s stage is complete with the presence of 6th gen and draftees.I felt the staff’s love in the setlist which made me cry. I will feel lonely without everyone by my side but from March onwards I wil be SKE Hako Oshi like you all!Lets root on SKE together!” - Sato Seira (via fake49@tumblr)

[Concert] 『SKE党決起集会。「箱で推せ！」』 / 『SKE to kekkai shukai. 「Hako de ose! 」』 National Tour (01/02/14) | Nagoya Dome | Day 1

FINALLY!!!! NAGOYA DOME WELCOMES SKE48!!! We have come very far, well the girls have and I only joined the fandom mid-last year anyways but... the girls have finally reached their dream and are able to perform on the stage of Nagoya dome themselves!! I'm so happy for them~ (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

About today's concert, I gotta say... I'm pretty impressed by the stage set. I know it was probably the same for Kobe hall and Yokohama arena, but because I didn't actually see the whole stage set back then, I'm really impressed and I like it alot! 

I love the "SKE48" flags next to the main stage (I would love it if they sell that design in a towel or something because I would definitely buy it!). But the thing that caught my eyes the most is the main stage that resembles alot like a shrine, and when you talk about Nagoya and shrines... It is definitely Nagoya Castle and you can see the Kin no Shachihoko on the two sides as well. This is too awesome ~ (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

I really enjoyed the concert overall tonight (Through a computer screen looking at the setlist and screen caps of course) Especially the setlist tonight is pretty interesting~ I'm hoping that tomorrow's setlist will be the best out of all the concerts they did for this national tour! (≧▽≦)

• Kamigami no Ryouiki being one of my all-time favourite performed by the 1st gens with Azumarion and Nao accompanying them.... What a lovely way to start off a concert after the SKE call...
• Miyamae centering Aozora Kotaomoi!!! That center spot was Jurina's spot..! Can't wait to watch her since her oshimen is Jurina and I love them both so much!!!
• Akagumi and Shirogumi songs got performed~~ I want to see Nante ginga wa akarui no darou get performed as well as Tori wa Aoi Sora no Hate wo Shiranai!!!
• OMG!! Kamoku na Tsuki!!!! I have been listening to this song on repeat because I love it soooo much!! Oh, how I wanted to see this getting performed~~
• Yuria doing Sore demo suki da yo would be sooooo adorable and cuteness overload~~
• OMG....!! DARKNESS WITH WORLD ORDER!!! ASDKLJSAFLKJASDLKAJ adskjdlasdjklsajdkajdlk!!! ajskdljaslkdjaskldj!!! (゜▼゜ ）(Sorry about the gibberish... I'm just too excited)
• Finally draft members performing~~ And not just those typical songs like Party ga hajimaru and Aitakatta, but Chime wa LOVE SONG~~~

Like what us SKE wota always say... "Once a SKE member, Always a SKE member" and today.... KITARIE CAME JUST TO PERFORM TSUYOGARI TOKEI!!! I'm so happy to see her perform with the SKE girls~~ SKE member's bond between each other is so strong and I heard that some old 1st gen members came to watch the concert as well~

There was of course an announcement made tonight and you all probably know what it is already... Yes. The announcement and performance of the next single "Mirai to wa?"!!!

This senbatsu has some surprising members in it. The old Team E leader, Madoka and two of the promosing future of SKE... Azumarion and Rabbit are in the senbatsu for this 14h single. I just want to say one thing... Why can't they just put Yukko in for senbatsu damnit!! She is cool and awesome so why don't management put her in...!! And why is our beloved Nishishi out again...!? And it feels so weird not to have Nannan and Ichigo in the senbatsu line-up anymore.... Other than these things... I'm looking forward to this single and since the title of the song is related to future... I'm guessing it will be like a ballad song??

Anyways I have been talking abit too much and I shall get on with the setlist of today~

[Concert] 『SKE党決起集会。「箱で推せ！」』 / 『SKE to kekkai shukai. 「Hako de ose! 」』 National Tour (06/12/13) | Yokohama Arena | Day 2

So today's concert in Yokohama Arena has ended perfectly without any problem~ As expected of the SKE girls!! Like I said yesterday that during today's concert... There will definitely be an announcement made and there was!!! But it wasn't as I predicted... I shall tell you all later but for now.... I'll talk about how the concert went today~

Yesterday I said I was really impressed by how SKE48 started off the concert with a bang... Performing Sansei Kawaii with Rena riding on a fake plastic elephant (Yes I found out who it was and here if you guys want to see it) and Jurina as well apparently ... and all the flag waving (I'm assuming they were performing "Pinocchio Gun") But oh my god... Tonight's intro took my breath away..! (I know I wasn't exactly there at the concert but in front of the computer screen instead but looking at the units and setlist took my breath away if you get what I mean~)

Both Rion and Aya on the piano with Nao on the Sax.... accompanying Dasu the ballerina performing "Kodoku na Ballerine"...!!! *Fangirling mode on* dkgfodigdsakfjdslkfjdslkjdoisado I am seriously lost for words.....!!!! This is too......dsahlkfhdskjjlkdsjf!!!! And this is how you should start a concert...!!!

I'm really glad and happy that this time they didn't have the same setlist like what they did for KobeWorld Hall concert ~ (But I guess it's because they didn't have enough to rehearse if it were to be two different setlist for an afternoon/night session)Anyways...

• How long have I not see Jurina perform "Glory Days"~ (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I think the last time she did was during the Manatsu Dome Tour... Not surprised there with Uha in the place of Mii~
• OMG.... Airin in Namida no Shounan.....!?
• Rena, Masana and Akisun together forming a KD unit to perform "Ame no Pianist"~~ (≧∇≦)
• Shirogumi and Akagumi performed their each individual group song from Sansei Kawaii!!!! OMG!! I so wanna see "Zakuro no Mi wa Yuutsu ga Nantsubu Tsumatte Iru?" live!!!
• They....They... performed "Itsu no ma ni ka, yowai mono ijime" !? Man... Sayaka's grad feel is all coming back to me.... I really wanted to see all the original Selection 8 members perform this together...
• Ahh I miss Mitsubachi Girl performed by Team E as well~

During MC3.... Rion asked Rena when will she perform a stage with the Team E members... Yeah! Seriously Rena...! I have rarely see you perform on stage together with Team E...! Even Jurina has been on stage more than you for Team S! (I think....)

I think I have blabbed on too much and now... I will announce the announcement that was made today.....

↑↑↑ Click on the Image for the official video announcement ↑↑↑

Yes... It is what it seems.... AN EXTRA CONCERT DAY FOR THE SKE48 GIRLS IN NAGOYA DOME on 1st Feburary 2014!!!! OH YEAH!!! I'm so happy and glad for them that they get to perform in Nagoya Dome for another day!!! We should totally celebrate this wonderful news!!! This is like what happened with the concert in Yokohama Arena as well~~ The tickets for the Nagoya Dome concert on 2nd Feburary 2014 was all sold out and some even missed out, so management decided to have another day~~~ Oh what a happy and wonderful day it is today~ I am definitely buying this concert box even if I'm in debt right now!!!

↑↑↑ This is Miyamae Ami. Adorable, right?                       

Look at how happy the girls are after hearing this wonderful news~ (You all must be wondering why I chose this picture... It is because Ami look sooo cute and adorable here~ I started to really like Ami after the wink she did in "Itsu no ma ni ka, yowai mono ijime" MV~ Isn't she adorable in this picture~? Oh Ami is the one on the left if you guys don't know who I'm refering to)

Anyways.... I shall post the setlist of tonight plus some pictures of the concert as well~ and next stop... NAGOYA DOME!

[Concert] 『SKE党決起集会。「箱で推せ！」』 / 『SKE to kekkai shukai. 「Hako de ose! 」』 National Tour (05/12/13) | Yokohama Arena | Day 1

Today... is another concert performance for SKE48 in Yokohama Arena... meaning that they are one step closer to their dream goal which is to be able to hold a concert in Nagoya Dome just by themselves as "SKE48".
At first, it was decided that they would only held a one-day concert in Yokohama Arena on the 6th of December, but today was the extra day that was announced during the last concert at KobeWorld Hall! And by looking at the picture above...... It looks so cool and awesome that I wanna be there as well!

Continue on with the concert.... there wasn't any announcement made today but I guess there will be one tomorrow. I'm guessing it might be a promotion for one member to Team S?? Because of Sayaka's graduation, leaving Team S with 15 members only. 

About the setlist.... SKE48 started off the concert with their recent released single "Sansei Kawaii!" and look at the picture below....↓↓↓

IS THAT A REAL ELEPHANT!? I don't think so at all but man.... All that effort to have a fake elephant on stage just for this concert and I wonder who it is that is riding on the elephant~

I really love the setlist and units tonight!! 

• Nishishi, Neesan and Akisun performing together as an older member unit~ 
• Ryoha and Mizuho performing "Two Roses"..... OMGOMGOMG!!
• Rena and Yukko for "Manazashi Sayonara" (One of my fav song! I can't wait to watch this!! But I still think Airin/Ogichan is the best)... 
• Yuria, Miki and Anna performing "Cross" (OMG! Yuria is gonna be soooo cool!!!)...
• Nonchan, Masana and Minarun performing "Omoide Ijou"!??
• and also..... AzumaRion and Nao doing "Anata to Christmas Eve" with Rion accompanying Nao on the piano!! This is awesome beyond awesomeness!!!

But one thing that really excited me tonight is...... THE PERFORMANCE FOR "ESCAPE"!!!!!!! After watching the preview on the SKE48 Official Youtube channel.... I was going crazy!!! And tonight I can't believe they performed it with Rion playing on the piano as well!!! OMG!!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

I'm SOOOO looking forward to seeing the whole song and MV and Dance and everything when "Suzukake Nanchara" coming out next Wednesday!!! 

Anyways... I shall post the setlist of tonight's concert performance along with some screenshot of the concert~
I hope that the setlist for tomorrow will be different this time! I'm expecting alot from the SKE girls...! >:D

[Concert] 『SKE党決起集会。「箱で推せ！」』 / 『SKE to kekkai shukai. 「Hako de ose! 」』 National Tour (26/10/13) | KobeWorld Hall |

♪バズーカ砲発射♪

Today is the start of SKE48's National Tour performing at the Kobe World Hall (26/10/13), before performing at the Yokohama Arena (06/12/13) and then..... PERFORMING SOLO AT NAGOYA DOME (02/02/14) !!!! I'm so happy for them~~~ \(≧▽≦)/

And doesn't SKE48 love giving us surprises~?
I thought for Kobe Hall they would just have one show, but instead.... They had two shows!! One at noon and one at night!!
Not just this....
There were three good announcement made today~~~~  which I will talk about below along with the setlist! (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ

SO.... The first announcement was...
They performed the 13th Single called "Sansei Kawaii" during the encore...!!! （人´∀`*）

The song (from what I have heard) seems okay I guess.... I'll post another blog about it later on along with a 51s preview of the song ;)

The next announcement is..... *drumrolls*

Yes....
It is an additional concert at Yokohama Arena...!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
They originally only decided on a day at Yokohama Arena on the 6th of december but no... Management decided to held another concert on the 5th of december....!!!
Oh I'm so happy for the girls~~~ being able to get more shows and the opportunities to perform infront of fans~~ :)

Last but not least.... the BEST news of today has to be.... THE PROMOTION OF MIZUHO CHAN TO TEAM KII!!!! Finally Team KII has a complete set of 16 members~~ I'm so happy for her~~~ (*＾ワ＾*)

Yamada Mizuho with Nishishi

========================================================================
Now about the setlists today...
I was kind of disappointed at how both setlist are the same except for the last song which was changed from Te wo tsunaginagara to Nakama no Uta. 
But I'm happy with the units...!! Especially Juritan's solo of "Blue Rose"(OMG I'm fangirling over Juritan's coolness~~~ >///<), Airin centering "Dakishimeraretara, Rion playing "Tsuyogari Tokei" on the piano, Yukko performed "Cross" with Nishishi as center and Nannan centering "Omoide Ijou"!!! This setlist is just too awesome because I just love every song....!!
Can't wait for the DVD to come out....!!!! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ
