Just got back from the AKB48 concert at Suntec! It was fun! great audience, most of us in the front were shouting the chants and member names. The girls look much better live. the whole time i was staring at haachan, switching to mayuyu/komorin/nacchi/amina when haachan went to the far side. luckily haachan spent most of the time in the middle, towards my side :D
The setlist was:
Overture
RIVER
Oogoe Diamond
Aitakatta
Members' self-introductions
Pajama Drive (Mayuyu, Haachan, Harugon)
Candy (Chiyuu, Amina, Komorin)
Kimi wa Pegasus (Sayaka, Genking, Nacchi, Wasamin)
MC
10nen Zakura
Iiwake Maybe
Hikoukigumo
Heavy Rotation
Encore
Beginner
Ponytail to Shushu
Except for Candy, i like all the songs in the setlist. i actually predicted most of them already, so it wasnt really a surprise. only complaint is that its really short. they started late, about 7.10pm, and performed only 12 songs when usually concerts have about 25 >.<
The stage was not very dark so i could actually see them walk onto the stage during the overture -.- another bad thing is that the lightsticks couldnt shine as bright since the stage wasnt very dark.
They tried to speak in english as much as possible, which is commendable. haachan's catchphrase was a mix: tsuyaonna to kaite adeejo, adeejo to yobu no wa, you, you, you. very fun MC and they used simple words such that even i could understand like 90% of what they said! nacchi actually spoke a sentence of decent length without making any mistakes! im starting to like nacchi recently, lol.
Wotagei is fun, but the encore chant was just fail lol. many ppl were calling encore on and off though luckily the chant never died out. aki-p was in the audience lol, and it would have sucked if he thought singapore fans arent responsive enough.
AKB48 <333
Now to wait for the december meet the fans session! in the meantime i should get to writing a fan letter... hope both haachan and yukirin will come!
And i think i might have skipped my NAPFA test for this concert, but fuck that shit, wotagei is much better exercise.
AFA for the next 2 days! woot!
