-The Concert- Part B

I FORGOT TO MENTION! The JaeChun duet – there’s this part where “la, la, la, laaa” is repeated over and over again. JaeChun got the crowd to learn the melody during the song and we all sang it together! It was really neat, because it was a new song, and it was soooo pretty!

Before Begin, there was a video. And it was a sad video… T___T Remember the video with all the rain in the T Tour? It was that style? Only the scenes were different. It began with a girl leaving Changmin after giving him a hug (they were at a bar). I think she was leaving him? Then it was Junsu. He was leaving the girl. He patted her shoulder before exitting (this one was at a lounge). Jaejoong was next. The girl was holding his hand but he slipped out of her hold, leaving her behind (this was at a bedroom setting?). Yoochun had his hand over the girl’s, but the girl pushed it away and left (this was in a topless white car). Yunho’s was where he left the girl, but gave her a ticket. I think it was a promise to meet up again, that this was only a “temporary” farewell. I believe the video was showing the boys tying up loose ends, because the time of the video is 19:00. The opening video of the concert, where they all kick butt and steal the necklace, is 20:00. Sad music is playing the whole time. At the end, the boys meet at a fountain, pat/hug each other, and go up to the hotel (where they kick butt, but we don’t see that video again, lol).

Begin starts. The sad atmosphere (after all those breakups) is perfect. And dude, can it get better? Oh, yes, it can. Chun has a piano. They start off and it is freaking love. About halfway, the band joins in, and JJ finishes it off with a dramatic ending.

Nobody Knows erupts into the air. I think this is the one song that didn’t really sound right with a live band. (If my memory is serving me right, XD). It was still an awesome performance, but it sounded a little off at times because of the band. There was an added part in the middle, where the band did this ladder thing with the key of the song (kept going up and up) until Su came in, right pitch and all – it was goooood x] (Crap, I don’t remember if that key pitch thing with the band was this song or another one T__T)

There was a slight pause, I think to restore the peace, as Taxi started. Oh, and by the way, the thing about Japanese fans being really quiet during ballads? It’s true they are VERY quiet during ballads, but not completely. Some fans call out to certain members when they sing. Two girls behind me kept calling out to Changmin every time he came in. It was kind of annoying before their voice would cut into my hearing when I wanted to wear Min only (No offense to the girls, but like… Yeah). There was also a JJ fan directly behind me who would do the same thing when JJ began to sing. I think the three of them were friends, but they kept getting glances from other fans. They didn’t take the hint.

Back to Japanese fans during ballads – sometimes, they all scream at a certain part and then go quiet really quickly again. The speed between their “loud” and “quiet” is impressive, tbh ^^ But yeah, just wanted to clear up that belief.

Forever Love began. Junsu came in a little shakily, but it was still good. He pulled of an amazing adlib during the song, and the JaeSu duet at the end is love. Changmin, when he sang the chorus, really got me. He’s really starting to funnel emotions very well.

This is where the crazy segment began. I don’t know how DBSK pulled it off, but they did. OJBH got everyone to their feet, screaming in anticipation. They sang it with mics in hand, and it sounded really good! They also had that part of the dance where everyone jumps except Su, who jumps a split second later! It was a great perf, really showing just how much they grew and improved from three years ago.

Choosey Lover blasted through the stadium, and everyone was screaming. DBSK came on stage with their crazy colored clothes, lol. It was…yeah. Anyways, this Choosey Lover perf was one of the best I’ve ever seen. They cut it short a verse or two at the end, where they repeat things, but the dance was hecka sexy. The boys split up and did a lot of solo dancing throughout the next segment (note: by segment, I mean the next series of songs. CL, Sky, Somebody to Love, Summer Dream, and Survivor. This segment was just amazing).

There was no break as Sky launched into the air, Chun changing the year at the beginning to “2009″. Sky got everyone into a cheering mode. And even though the boys were singing, fans sang along.

And still no break as Sky gave way to Somebody to Love, with all the jumping. It was really fun, but really tiring. But the thing is, DBSK kept jumping and running around, smiling and grinning and encouraging fans to get involved. There was so much energy in the Dome, it was great! I think the boys are really getting the hang out “creating” a concert-like atmosphere, if you know what I mean? Am I making sense? XD It’s nearly four in the morning here, and I’m afraid that if I sleep, I’m going to forget things which is why I’m frantically trying to record all this now, haha.

Despite all the jumping around, when Summer Dream began, the boys launched right into the dance. I was amazed (once again) at how fit they were! I was tired from all the jumping (and so were other fans, because older folks were sitting for a second before they were on their feet again). To be able to do all the jumping, running, and singing AND dance continuously with precision and energy… Yeah, DBSK – this is why you’re loved and treasured. Even though you reach the top, you continue to do better. (I think, as the later it’s getting, I’m talking more to myself, XD)

Summer Dream, the part where Su leads the dance and everyone copies? He did three different ones (one of them where he turned around and showed off his rear. Another one was the one where he lies down on his stomach and does that cute post x] ). Somewhere in this entire “pump up” segment, Changmin sits down right in front of a camera, looking SO ADORABLE. And you know what he does?!?! HE LOOKS INTO ONE OF THE CAMERAS AND LIKE, “GRABS” IT! It was so cute, and fans just erupted with screams, lol!

There wasn’t a break (once again) as Survivor rocked the Dome. I really liked the sound of Survivor with the band, and I was stunned by DBSK’s energy. They were still synchroznied and everything during their dance! They still had strength in their moves, strong voices to sing with. I was like, =OOOOO the whole time!

And THAT’S when the boys got a break. (Oh, I just realized I missed the band and dancers introductions, XD Um… The band introductons came in the middle of the long segment with clashing-color-clothing. I remember Junsu sitting on the staircase, catching his breath and drinking water as they introduced the band. Then the perfs went on. Later, the dancers did their own thing as DBSK disappeared from the stage. I think the dancers’ intro was after Survivor).

(Somewhere in this segment, the fans and DBSK were swirling the small SC towels in the air. I can’t remember which song it was ><)

A video started after all that. It was zooming through all the singles of the boys. When it stopped on a song and played a segment, the fans sang along with it! It was pretty neat Some of the singles it played was… Miss You, Lovin’ You, Asu Wa Kuru Kara… Then The Way U Are appeared at the end!

The Way U Are had part of the middle cut out, but the fans still did the chants in the beginning (where they say the member’s name after they sing their line?). Only the first three names got finished (I think it’s Min, Su, and JJ?). Then the song changes to We Are!

Tall, movable carts appeared at the sides of the stage. Two were on the left side (Yunho and JJ), three on the side (SuMinChun). Each cart had the member’s name in English. The members climbed the ladder to the top and threw these balls into the audience (S seats) as they sang We Are! They also tried to make eye contact with as many fans as possible, waving and stuff. I want to believe that I made eyecontact with all of them, lol (because later, the carts switched sides – staff push the carts, btw). But the truth about eye contact is, just because you think they saw you doesn’t mean they did. ^^;; But I can hope, right? XD Anyways, the balls didn’t come near my – one sailed over my head, another over to the section on my right. But it’s okay – I was too busy waving to ChunMinSu, lol.

There was a small black square stage at the back of the Dome. The boy got up on there and sang Break Up The Shell. Junsu’s opening was powerful, and the perf was good. It seemed the stage was too small, but they made due.

They had another ment here. Changmin spoke a lot? Or at least said a few more funny things. This was where they pointed out the celebrity present at their concert. Afterwards, Stand By U began. The cool thing about the way they perfed SBU was the way they stood. The boys faced away from the stage, getting up close to fans in the center S seats. Then, one by one, they turned around and faced the fans in the back of the F seat section. I derno, it’s kind of hard to explain. ^^;;

After seeing SBU live, though… It’s definitely become a favorite. The electricity and the emotion in the song was really powerful. I couldn’t remember all the translations for the lyrics, but I remembered the chorus. It’s so sad, and I distinctly remember Chun’s voice just getting me because it was so good! Yun and Min filtered their feelings well, too. Then there’s the part where Jaejoong and Junsu sing with quieter BG music. They sounded AWESOME.

Then DBSK began to say their goodbyes. Their backdancers and them lined up on the front stage again, bowed and said thanks. Fans clapped, though not loudly because they couldn’t, XD (Lightsticks were still in hand). The boys went to around, saying goodbye to all, and I was kind of scared that they were really done. The dancers all left the stage, and the boys disappeared. Fans began to chant.

I don’t know – it wasn’t really together, but it sounded like there were three different waves. It was hard because there were a LOT of us, lol. But then… Then Kiss The Baby Sky filled the stadium! People all erupted into screaming and sang along – the lyrics were on the TV screens. Near the end of the song, where the chorus is repeated over and over again? I think it was JJ who told us to sing, so we did. And it sounded freaking awesome. JJ harmonized with us at one point because DBSK all sang the chorus one last time.

Then there was a little ment (?) maybe? XD I can’t remember! But Bolero started. And holy moly, this song seriously stops your blood when you hear it live. Chun’s super high note was in tune, and the long bridge was amazing, thanks to all the members.

And then they really did thank everyone, like they usually do at the end of the concerts for real. And I really thought it was the end, and I couldn’t help but think, “Dang, LITI really isn’t on the list?”

I was prepared to leave, but fans were still sitting down. A few people were getting up to leave, but others began to chant, “Tohoshinki, Tohoshinki…” It kept getting louder. And louder.

And then everything turnd black and holy shizz, the most beautiful sound filled the Tokyo Dome.

The beginning of LITI. I cannot thank the boys enough for coming back to sing this song. It was flawless, because it was the perfect ending to the concert. It was a great performance. All of the boys… So much emotion was in the song, so much feeling, so many unspoken words. The bridge was love, but I think the magic touch was the acapella at the end. The band stopped playing at the harmonized “ha, ha, ha-ah-ah” closing part. After LITI, the boys really did leave.

I’m really amazed with their awesome performance in the Tokyo Dome. Seriously. I used to think that some of their live perfs for their dances were maybe overlayered with something else, but I was wrong. What I heard today wasn’t layered, it was live. (Except for parts of the solo stages, because Junsu and Yunho cannot sing two parts at once, lol). The boys have improved so much! Never mind Chun’s hair – during the concert, it looked fine. He looked really mature yet like a kid who had been given the best gift in the world. Changmin’s control and range with his voice was amazing. Oh, and he was just SO CUTE. JJ’s hyperness and voice just made all the fans grin and wanna jump – he was just a ball of energy and smiles! Yunho’s happiness, his cuteness, his waving-to-all-the-fans, his warm-heartedness touched everyone. And Junsu’s voice, his charisma when he sang and did some wicked adlibs, all that concentration and effort on his face showed just how hard he was working. How hard they were all working. I am amazed at how fit they are. We, the fans, jumped with them during a few songs, and we were dead tired afterward (or at least, most of us were). DBSK launched into dance song after dance song. They gave their all, singing their hearts out and sweating like crazy. Truly, they are the best group in all over Asia. Not because of their sales. Not because of their looks. It’s because they work hard, they practice, they strive to improve – constantly. Never ending.

To end on a good note – Tokyo Dome is going to be on DVD… Both days. Now, I don’t know if the staff meant a mix of both days, or both days completely (so you have two sets of perfs). I heard about this DVD from both fans and staff, heard it was being released in September for sixty dollars. Definitely worth it – trust me.

Oh, and when I was going up to Anita and Wendy’s room to pick up the fangoods I purchased earlier… We got in the same elevator as Changmin’s mom. Anita and Wendy noticed who she was, and people spazzed out in the elevator and shook her hand. I, however, had been zoning out and only noticed the lady in blue as really nice looking, XD Oops. But yeah, it was Min’s mom ^^;; Also, I heard from some fans that they spotted Junho in the hotel?

I hope my fan account was of some interest, and I apologize if I started getting less detailed toward the end >< I’m…drained, lol. Need some shut eye. I have no idea how DBSK is pulling this off – a SECOND concert tomorrow? (Or rather, today). How fit they are, how fit they must be…

Hwaiting, DBSK!
