00:00:20.399 -->
00:00:23.440Hello everybody, welcome to Music Elixir.
00:00:23.839 -->
00:00:24.640I'm your host.
00:00:24.800 -->
00:00:25.519Did you panic?
00:00:25.760 -->
00:00:26.960See what happens?
00:00:28.559 -->
00:00:31.120You're not the host, we're co-hosts.
00:00:32.320 -->
00:00:35.359But this is I'm so used to the radio.
00:00:38.079 -->
00:00:38.399Okay.
00:00:38.719 -->
00:00:41.039See, we started already with shenanigans.
00:00:42.479 -->
00:00:45.600You want to start that again or you want to keep it like that?
00:00:46.719 -->
00:00:52.640You could keep it like it'll explain to people why starting it.
00:00:52.799 -->
00:00:53.119Yeah.
00:00:53.280 -->
00:00:57.679If if you hear Sarah weirdly, it's because we are remote.
00:00:57.840 -->
00:01:04.000It's a very, very, very, very, very New England so snowy weekend.
00:01:04.560 -->
00:01:05.680Yeah, horribly.
00:01:06.000 -->
00:01:09.760I mean yesterday was like non-stop snow.
00:01:10.079 -->
00:01:13.200Today is like started like freezing rain?
00:01:13.519 -->
00:01:14.159Yeah.
00:01:14.400 -->
00:01:18.959Yeah, I'd say it's like super fine ice particles falling.
00:01:19.200 -->
00:01:26.000Not not real snow, but uh not quite an ice storm, it's somewhere in between.
00:01:26.319 -->
00:01:28.159So yeah, typical New England.
00:01:28.640 -->
00:01:47.120So Sarah and I were keeping ourselves safe on our homes so we can actually record this episode that we have actually uh taken a while to actually record, but we have meant to actually record this episode because we have mentioned it at the beginning of this month of January.
00:01:47.519 -->
00:01:56.239Uh, because uh when we were recording our rants and rambling and finding news on our favorites, we've uh read this.
00:01:56.319 -->
00:02:11.680There was an article, actually not an article, and an announcement that Starto have made because they were gonna take legal action to those who were uh in in lame terms, nasty on some comments, and they just said we're not for that.
00:02:12.000 -->
00:02:14.000So be prepared.
00:02:14.400 -->
00:02:21.199Um, this is about the Starto to move to countdown 2025-2026.
00:02:21.520 -->
00:02:25.120We were kind of surprised because we're like, What happened?
00:02:25.360 -->
00:02:29.120And uh Sarah and I we've not had the stream for it.
00:02:29.360 -->
00:02:39.520Um, so we needed to wait for Netflix to drop the the event or the countdown, and that happened in amid mid-January.
00:02:39.680 -->
00:02:42.000I forgot I just forgot when exactly.
00:02:42.159 -->
00:02:45.039But um It was on the 7th of January.
00:02:45.280 -->
00:02:45.759Right.
00:02:46.000 -->
00:02:46.879That it dropped.
00:02:47.120 -->
00:02:49.680That it dropped, and we're like, we need to see this.
00:02:49.840 -->
00:02:55.599We of course we were gonna I was gonna watch it anyway, just waiting for the date that it was gonna be released.
00:02:55.840 -->
00:03:03.840So uh But after hearing that that there were people who didn't, you know, seem to enjoy it, we were like, We should check it out.
00:03:04.000 -->
00:03:07.280What could what could they possibly have done that people can't like?
00:03:07.439 -->
00:03:08.479That was what I was thinking.
00:03:09.919 -->
00:03:10.319Exactly.
00:03:10.719 -->
00:03:13.759If you like these artists, what exactly could have happened?
00:03:14.319 -->
00:03:14.960Exactly.
00:03:15.199 -->
00:03:17.919But there were some theories that Sarah and I were having.
00:03:18.000 -->
00:03:28.000We were thinking that maybe the these were just I don't know, people just haters out there just wanting to hate or just say nasty things to them, you know, not being real fans.
00:03:28.240 -->
00:03:29.680Uh but who knows?
00:03:29.919 -->
00:03:43.680Um, it could be 50-50, but it's still uh just because you're supposedly anonymous when you're making a comment, it doesn't mean you're gonna have some repercussions from what you have said.
00:03:43.919 -->
00:03:46.960So exactly just be careful out there, people.
00:03:47.199 -->
00:03:50.719I mean, we're all humans, you know.
00:03:51.039 -->
00:03:53.840Starter talents are not robots, they're not.
00:03:54.080 -->
00:03:57.840Those those are they're humans, you know, they have feelings as well.
00:03:58.080 -->
00:03:58.719Geez.
00:03:58.879 -->
00:04:07.759But anyways, yeah, and well, and even you know, they're not your absolute fave, you know, the the group you scan, however you want to say it.
00:04:08.000 -->
00:04:15.599Like they're still they're people and you know they're out there doing their best, so you gotta enjoy the show.
00:04:15.840 -->
00:04:16.319You know?
00:04:16.560 -->
00:04:17.040Exactly.
00:04:17.839 -->
00:04:18.959That's what they're there for.
00:04:19.199 -->
00:04:19.519Okay.
00:04:19.680 -->
00:04:22.879I may run into some technical difficulties.
00:04:23.040 -->
00:04:24.959The cats are circling me.
00:04:26.000 -->
00:04:26.319Okay.
00:04:27.040 -->
00:04:34.160They're trying to jump up on all my stuff, so this could turn into a a comical event.
00:04:34.480 -->
00:04:36.399They want to be part of the podcast.
00:04:36.879 -->
00:04:44.399Well, you know, the minute you have paper in front of you, the minute you have your computer open, they're like, Hey, what's that?
00:04:45.040 -->
00:04:45.680Exactly.
00:04:45.839 -->
00:04:48.720They want to be a part of the experience, Mr.
00:04:48.879 -->
00:04:50.079Bowie and Mr.
00:04:50.319 -->
00:04:51.040Presley.
00:04:51.519 -->
00:04:54.959Just just being cats, of course.
00:04:55.199 -->
00:05:01.199You know, they probably miss being in the podcast anyways, because remember we used to record at your place.
00:05:01.680 -->
00:05:02.000We did.
00:05:02.240 -->
00:05:06.639And they were part of the podcast because they'll come up to us and start meowing.
00:05:07.439 -->
00:05:08.399Except for not birds.
00:05:08.639 -->
00:05:08.879Exactly.
00:05:08.959 -->
00:05:12.720Well, that's just meowing like exactly.
00:05:24.160 -->
00:05:26.480But, anyways, that's we're not here for that.
00:05:27.680 -->
00:05:28.399No, we're not.
00:05:28.720 -->
00:05:32.560Let's talk about our experience through streaming, of course.
00:05:32.720 -->
00:05:34.720Uh, it right now starts to move.
00:05:34.879 -->
00:05:38.639Countdown uh concert is now streaming on Netflix.
00:05:38.959 -->
00:05:47.279Also, at the end of the month, I will believe it's gonna be on January 30th, they are going to release the behind the scenes of the concert.
00:05:47.680 -->
00:05:54.639Yeah, I just saw that supposedly that on January 30th, they will be yeah, doing that behind the scenes.
00:05:54.720 -->
00:05:55.439That'll be cool.
00:05:55.680 -->
00:05:56.319I know.
00:05:56.800 -->
00:05:58.079That'll be very interesting.
00:05:58.639 -->
00:06:02.079I want to see the kind of shenanigans the guys are doing.
00:06:02.240 -->
00:06:05.199You know they're complete shenanigans.
00:06:05.600 -->
00:06:12.319We have seen snippets of previous custom each other be while they're on stage.
00:06:12.560 -->
00:06:13.519Yes, practicing.
00:06:14.879 -->
00:06:25.920And speaking of a Johnino uh episode where uh Nino have actually presented uh um oh my god, the sweet bread, which I forgot the amp on.
00:06:26.399 -->
00:06:32.480And and the guys were like, Oh, Nino's on thank you, and then you know, they all get together and start doing things.
00:06:32.639 -->
00:06:35.600But anyways, just being boys.
00:06:35.839 -->
00:06:39.600They're all like in their 20s and 30s and they still act like they're teenagers.
00:06:39.759 -->
00:06:41.199So yeah.
00:06:41.920 -->
00:06:44.480Well, maybe some of them were still in their teens, though.
00:06:45.519 -->
00:06:46.879Some of them are in their forties.
00:06:47.040 -->
00:06:47.920Who are you kidding?
00:06:48.240 -->
00:06:48.720That's true.
00:06:48.879 -->
00:06:53.199Nino's Nino's a clown himself, but anyways.
00:06:55.439 -->
00:06:57.600Anyways, so huh.
00:06:57.759 -->
00:06:58.399What do you say?
00:06:58.639 -->
00:07:09.360Okay, so of course, I like of course that they start the uh the venue, you know, looking at the venue, you know, everybody sitting down waiting to like the show to start.
00:07:09.600 -->
00:07:14.480I like the bird's eye view that they give you, like you are up in the nosebleeds.
00:07:15.680 -->
00:07:19.040Because that's probably if it's used reality first.
00:07:19.439 -->
00:07:19.839Exactly.
00:07:20.000 -->
00:07:26.319If you're like us that has that Roger, we'll be out there watching down at everything.
00:07:26.639 -->
00:07:30.720Because of course, uh, like I said, like I said, it will be our budget.
00:07:30.879 -->
00:07:33.120So we I like that view first.
00:07:33.199 -->
00:07:34.560Like, oh, here we go.
00:07:34.639 -->
00:07:36.639We're sitting down, we're waiting.
00:07:36.959 -->
00:07:43.600I was gonna say I also like that they were showing like um clips from previous years, you know.
00:07:44.480 -->
00:07:45.839The the big screens.
00:07:45.920 -->
00:07:56.160I I noticed a couple of things up there that I was like, I'm pretty sure that or or it was rehearsals, but I think it was clips from previous years countdowns and stuff.
00:07:56.639 -->
00:08:00.399So it was kind of wild to see some of the stuff that used to happen.
00:08:01.279 -->
00:08:04.480Yeah, big dragon, people flying through the air.
00:08:04.560 -->
00:08:05.199So, you know.
00:08:05.519 -->
00:08:12.560Yeah, that's just I like the yeah, the whole the light goes out and everybody just burst out on a screen.
00:08:12.720 -->
00:08:13.360WHACK!
00:08:13.759 -->
00:08:18.160Because you know, your adrenaline is just like, oh my god, it's here.
00:08:18.399 -->
00:08:21.439And I like the blue lasers just coming at you.
00:08:21.680 -->
00:08:22.319Yes.
00:08:22.879 -->
00:08:35.919And the jumbo screen just start projecting stuff, and then they started projecting, like you were saying, the uh past shows that um have happened uh either on the Tokyo Dome or the actual countdown.
00:08:36.080 -->
00:08:38.879Um, of course, I've never seen any of the countdowns.
00:08:39.200 -->
00:08:47.360I think the only one me either the only one that I have seen is just the the We Are that happened in April, and that's the one that June actually produced.
00:08:47.519 -->
00:08:51.840That was like probably the biggest one that I have seen from them.
00:08:52.080 -->
00:08:52.240Yeah.
00:08:52.399 -->
00:08:54.399Uh since I started following.
00:08:54.960 -->
00:08:58.159I have really old concerts and stuff.
00:08:58.240 -->
00:08:59.360They're not really countdowns.
00:08:59.519 -->
00:09:02.879They're not so I haven't seen yeah, an actual New Year's thing.
00:09:02.960 -->
00:09:10.480I've seen clips from them, you know, little bits of whatever groups were performing the the ensemble stuff, you know.
00:09:10.639 -->
00:09:22.399But this is my first actual New Year's countdown with the whole starter, not just because we saw H jumped last year.
00:09:22.960 -->
00:09:25.200You know, their New Year's uh concert.
00:09:25.919 -->
00:09:32.960So I didn't go in with any real expectations, despite knowing what some of the complaints were.
00:09:33.120 -->
00:09:37.919I I tried to just go in with a clear mind and not focus on any of that.
00:09:38.080 -->
00:09:41.440I wanted to to experience it myself.
00:09:42.159 -->
00:09:42.720Exactly.
00:09:42.879 -->
00:09:47.679I wasn't there either to thinking of like what kind of criticisms people were having with the show.
00:09:47.759 -->
00:09:49.600I mean, this is just the start of the show.
00:09:49.759 -->
00:10:08.240If it's anything just like what I have seen previously with the Wii Art, I'm like just you know, it's gonna be their performances and probably like a happy new year at the end, just like a new year, uh a grand New Year's Eve show, let's say, you know, with all the start of talents.
00:10:08.399 -->
00:10:20.240So I do like the uh the music that builds up the suspense because it just gives you that mood, like like here comes like the warriors, because it just felt like that.
00:10:20.320 -->
00:10:21.200I was like, ooh.
00:10:21.360 -->
00:10:25.120Yeah, it was like going into battle, very, very dramatic.
00:10:25.360 -->
00:10:25.840Exactly.
00:10:26.000 -->
00:10:33.200I'm like, so that kind of I mean, I was already like hyped up and the mood with that music already was giving me more hype.
00:10:33.279 -->
00:10:35.600I was like more excited, like, oh my god, get this started.
00:10:35.759 -->
00:10:36.320I can't wait.
00:10:36.399 -->
00:10:37.519Who's gonna be first?
00:10:37.759 -->
00:10:50.000You know, I like the like the flash um so the music, the anticipation, when that was over, then I see flashes of the groups, like yeah, of the groups that are happening.
00:10:50.080 -->
00:10:55.120I thought it was actually the actual groups because I wasn't sure because of the cameras that they were having, the the the uh the edits.
00:10:55.200 -->
00:10:56.720I was like, is that happening now?
00:10:57.200 -->
00:10:59.919But no, it was just the clips of the uh of the groups.
00:11:00.000 -->
00:11:01.120That was like what I was feeling.
00:11:01.279 -->
00:11:02.080I'm like, already?
00:11:02.480 -->
00:11:04.720How come am I missing half of the show?
00:11:05.039 -->
00:11:11.200But um, but then it's just like alright, all right, no, just come down, girl.
00:11:11.279 -->
00:11:14.159It's coming, they're just giving you more hypnotess, you know.
00:11:14.480 -->
00:11:24.559But I like that then the lights for some reason just turn on, center stage, who it is first Travis Japan.
00:11:24.879 -->
00:11:26.720I'm like, oh my god.
00:11:27.840 -->
00:11:29.200What about the suits?
00:11:29.519 -->
00:11:37.120White sequence with the black shirts and this and then the shirts had like this striped rice tones.
00:11:37.279 -->
00:11:41.200I I mean, you know, and all black shoes, like patent, you know, like shiny shoes.
00:11:41.360 -->

00:11:50.399 -->
00:12:01.279Yes, yes, and then it was a group, they were wearing their debut costumes, you know, the black and white fulfur leather coats, which we saw.

00:13:14.159 -->
00:13:17.679It also had like a shiny gunmetal like gray shirt.
00:13:17.919 -->
00:13:26.000He was wearing pearls, he was wearing silver chains, fingerless gloves, and the cargo jogger pants.
00:13:26.080 -->
00:13:27.759Oh my god, he looks so amazing.
00:13:27.919 -->
00:13:29.200Love him, love my boy.
00:13:30.000 -->

00:13:43.360He looks so good.
00:13:43.519 -->
00:14:00.559But I see why you need all the sparkles, like you were saying, no, you need to have all this and that and that because of this when those lights shine on them, they just like so like they look like stars, they look like constellations, they look amazing, you know, they look ethereal.
00:14:00.960 -->
00:14:02.799So I'm like, wow.
00:14:03.039 -->
00:14:08.799Well, and it definitely, you know, you need something to to grab the attention and to to get the focus.
00:14:09.039 -->
00:14:09.440Exactly.
00:14:10.159 -->
00:14:12.799Everybody knows where to be looking.
00:14:13.360 -->
00:14:18.559I get the whole yes, ladies are magpies, they love shiny things.
00:14:18.799 -->
00:14:19.919Sparkly, sparkly.
00:14:20.320 -->
00:14:22.960The sparkly things we laughed.
00:14:23.600 -->
00:14:25.840So I'm like, oh yeah.
00:14:26.320 -->
00:14:29.600And then after Kenty, it was snowman.
00:14:29.919 -->
00:14:36.240Oh my god, the costumes, they look so regal, especially Date Sama and Dice K.
00:14:36.639 -->
00:14:41.360Oh my Dante Sama, oh my god, oh my god, he looks so good.
00:14:42.080 -->
00:14:45.120I love them all, but oh my god, that costume on Date.
00:14:45.360 -->
00:14:52.960Oh that oh my god, like two-tone blues, the aqua and sort of like navy blue with that you should pop everywhere.
00:14:53.200 -->
00:15:02.080Yeah, it's just wild because that that purple really every it everybody looks so cool, just just so cool.
00:15:02.960 -->
00:15:05.919And then after Snowman, it was timeless.
00:15:07.039 -->
00:15:12.320Speaking of their suits, different personalities, each suit was different.
00:15:12.559 -->
00:15:17.279Like some wore like white jackets and some wore like black jackets.
00:15:17.519 -->
00:15:23.120Shorty was wearing like a maroon jacket, and so was wearing like a dark blue one.
00:15:23.360 -->
00:15:29.360But both everybody had like sequence, pearls, rhinestones, leather, silver chains.
00:15:29.519 -->
00:15:34.399It was just like, here you go, guys, put it on lace, but a distance, da-da-da.
00:15:34.639 -->
00:15:43.039I was like, wow, that's uh that's a statement on suits that was very they were definitely not minimalistic, that's for sure.
00:15:43.279 -->
00:15:52.320They was very interesting that the idea of not actually being like uh organized set.
00:15:52.799 -->
00:15:53.279Right.
00:15:53.519 -->
00:16:04.639Like everything wasn't matching, it was sort of a free-for-all of everybody, individual style with a little bit of tailoring towards being at least make it look like a group.
00:16:04.799 -->
00:16:05.519You know what I mean?
00:16:05.600 -->
00:16:16.559But it was just very interesting to see how they were sort of parceled out, you know, like a couple looked similar to each other but totally different from another couple, which you know what I mean?
00:16:16.720 -->
00:16:16.879Right.
00:16:17.120 -->
00:16:19.279So like they did go together but they didn't.
00:16:19.519 -->
00:16:19.679Right.
00:16:20.080 -->
00:16:23.120Kind of an interesting interesting look.
00:16:23.360 -->
00:16:23.679Right.
00:16:23.759 -->
00:16:36.720When I th saw the colors like on Shori being like Maroon, which he's like the red on the color, you know, of group, so was blue instead of green, because he's he's the green and blue used to be Kenty.
00:16:37.200 -->
00:16:46.000Um, I thought that Fuma would have like a purple or a color, but no, he his was just complete black with some like white accent and silver on his suit.
00:16:46.159 -->
00:16:46.480Yeah.
00:16:46.720 -->
00:16:48.639So I was like, okay, all right.
00:16:48.879 -->
00:16:51.759And what did you what did you think of Fuma's hair?
00:16:52.320 -->
00:16:57.919Oh my I couldn't recognize him because Hara and him had the same kind of style.
00:16:58.000 -->
00:17:01.039Now Fuma's is a bit more poofier than Hara's.
00:17:01.279 -->
00:17:02.639Well, it's a little longer, yeah.
00:17:02.799 -->
00:17:05.680Yeah, and then I was just like, no, Fuma?
00:17:06.079 -->
00:17:06.640Really?
00:17:06.960 -->
00:17:11.119Okay, and then I was like, I don't know, I know Hara and and Fuma.
00:17:11.200 -->
00:17:12.720Are they trying to be twinsies?
00:17:12.960 -->
00:17:17.279Because they you know I was like, is Fuma missing?
00:17:17.680 -->
00:17:20.240Is he is he missing the whole twincy thing in the group?
00:17:20.480 -->
00:17:22.960So you gotta find another member to be twinsies with.
00:17:23.039 -->
00:17:24.400So I think maybe with Hara.
00:17:27.359 -->
00:17:28.720How how would that be?
00:17:28.880 -->
00:17:30.000Hara Harama?
00:17:30.400 -->
00:17:32.079No, oh, or Fumara.
00:17:33.599 -->
00:17:36.160Oh, oh, like what was their unit lady?
00:17:36.480 -->
00:17:37.599Yeah, like Fuma Ken.
00:17:37.839 -->
00:17:38.720Fumara.
00:17:40.079 -->
00:17:41.680Fumara Fumara.
00:17:43.920 -->
00:17:45.359That would be a good one.
00:17:45.759 -->
00:17:47.119And then let's see.
00:17:47.279 -->
00:17:47.839Oh, yeah.
00:17:48.000 -->
00:17:50.640So after Timeless, it was King and Prince.
00:17:50.799 -->
00:17:53.200Oh my god, I love those outfits.
00:17:53.519 -->
00:17:53.759Cute.
00:17:54.000 -->
00:17:54.400Very cute.
00:17:54.960 -->
00:17:58.799It just looked like they were going out of town, ready to dance with you.
00:17:59.039 -->
00:18:11.680Nikaito wore this like varsity brown and yellow jacket with pastels, a pastel tie, a white shirt, blue jeans with like some like yellow painted on.
00:18:12.160 -->
00:18:13.359Yeah, painted flatter.
00:18:13.680 -->
00:18:26.000Ren wore that blue jean, blue jeans with a white fulfur jacket, silver sparkles, a red shirt will really like really went with his skin complexion.
00:18:26.079 -->
00:18:32.000Sometimes some reds don't don't, you know, like there's reds for each, but you know, each each red is not for everybody.
00:18:32.240 -->
00:18:39.599And also, I like what Kaito's jacket said on the back, which I was like, oh my god, that is so cool.
00:18:39.839 -->
00:18:41.519Oh my god, I wrote it somewhere out.
00:18:41.759 -->
00:18:42.640Uh you know what?
00:18:42.880 -->
00:18:50.079I'll I know I wrote it somewhere when we go to the to more of like the group's performance.
00:18:50.240 -->
00:19:07.920Um, but then after King and Prince, it was ABCC uh with the silver and gray suits, the shiny silver shirts, uh Kiss My Foot was there, which is uh you know these are groups that we don't actually see much performance of, and I was really happy to see them.
00:19:08.160 -->
00:19:15.440Um for Kiss My Foot, they were um oh, this is the one with the like really big, chunky bedazzle like jackets.
00:19:15.599 -->
00:19:19.680Yeah, the red and blue, like yeah, super bedazzle.
00:19:19.759 -->
00:19:23.119I mean, those are gigantic chunks of stone.
00:19:23.599 -->
00:19:28.000I think the jackets on all they probably weighed like 15 pounds.
00:19:28.960 -->
00:19:35.039Yeah, no, they were definitely impressive looking jackets there.
00:19:36.000 -->
00:19:53.279I like their uniformity, like every the other group spelled, but also Chris Travis Japan also had a uniformity, but they all wore the same jackets and then acid blue wash relaxed jeans with white shirts, but also the jeans, some of them had like different patterns on.
00:19:53.519 -->
00:19:58.400I think one of them had was wearing like some jeans that looked like they could have been like knee high boots.
00:19:58.559 -->
00:19:59.119It was really cool.
00:19:59.200 -->
00:20:01.279It was a it Very interesting look.
00:20:01.440 -->
00:20:02.240I like that.
00:20:02.480 -->
00:20:04.240It was different than everybody else.
00:20:04.559 -->
00:20:07.279Who then after Kiss My Foot?
00:20:07.440 -->
00:20:08.240Snowman.
00:20:08.480 -->
00:20:09.519Oh, MG.
00:20:10.000 -->
00:20:17.519Shota Watanabe starts the concert, hyping everybody up with like thank welcoming everybody to the Tokyo Dome.
00:20:17.680 -->
00:20:21.359And that it has been three years since the last countdown.
00:20:21.519 -->
00:20:22.400Three years, girl.
00:20:22.559 -->
00:20:22.880Yeah.
00:20:23.119 -->
00:20:23.599Three years.
00:20:23.839 -->
00:20:24.559I know, right?
00:20:24.720 -->
00:20:25.359Yeah.
00:20:25.839 -->
00:20:29.279I I sus and then that's when everybody starts singing.
00:20:29.440 -->
00:20:31.440Oh my god, which one which song is that one?
00:20:31.599 -->
00:20:32.960We can do, we can go.
00:20:33.279 -->
00:20:33.839We can go.
00:20:33.920 -->
00:20:35.119Yeah, that's V6.
00:20:35.599 -->
00:20:37.200We can do, we can go.
00:20:39.119 -->
00:20:40.079Oh my god, like that.
00:20:40.559 -->
00:20:40.799Yeah.
00:20:40.880 -->
00:20:41.279Yeah.
00:20:41.680 -->
00:20:56.720I think that that's one that um forever, like I'm pretty sure junior concerts I was seeing from you know like the early 2000s that they always sang that.
00:20:56.880 -->
00:21:01.599Like the junior stuff always, always use that one.
00:21:01.920 -->
00:21:02.960It's a great one.
00:21:03.759 -->
00:21:07.839It is well, it's super energetic, it's lively, it's fun.
00:21:08.160 -->
00:21:10.960It has, you know, sort of playful mood to it.
00:21:11.279 -->
00:21:19.839And what what I really liked about the the ensemble performance of that, like I said, first of all, it made me think of all the old junior stuff.
00:21:20.000 -->
00:21:24.319So it made everybody appear like young again.
00:21:24.880 -->
00:21:33.440But the fact that everyone, no matter what style of music they do, no matter what style of clothes they're wearing, they're all doing the same dance moves.
00:21:33.599 -->
00:21:35.839They're all doing the same exact stuff.
00:21:36.000 -->
00:21:36.160Yeah.
00:21:36.400 -->
00:21:45.279Which just goes to show like whatever you want to do in Sarto, like wherever you're trying to go musically, you still have to learn all those basics.
00:21:45.440 -->
00:21:50.000And you have to be the dancer and the singer and do all of the the same stuff.
00:21:50.079 -->
00:21:57.680So it was really kind of fun to watch that it shows where they all start from while they're performing this song.
00:21:59.440 -->
00:22:07.440Sorry, I just when I when I was watching, I was just sort of so excited to see everybody doing the little like side-to-side sweep dance and all that.
00:22:07.519 -->
00:22:08.240It was just fun.
00:22:08.400 -->
00:22:09.440Took me back.
00:22:10.079 -->
00:22:10.799Aww.
00:22:11.119 -->
00:22:19.759And then, of course, then after that song, Fuma, our boy from Timeless, introduces Hey Sey Jum.
00:22:20.799 -->
00:22:24.160Oh my god, they look so regal in those costumes, too.
00:22:24.400 -->
00:22:28.480OMG, they'll look so like oh our prince.
00:22:29.839 -->
00:22:31.119Our Regal boys.
00:22:31.359 -->
00:22:32.960Oh my god, they look so good.
00:22:33.039 -->
00:22:46.160And of course, in their each of their color, like it was a white suit, but they don't pop over with their colors, you know, either that long skirt, like you said, or or some kind of scarf or something that with their with their color.
00:22:51.839 -->
00:22:52.720Exactly.
00:22:53.039 -->
00:22:54.160If you're so far away.
00:22:54.319 -->
00:22:55.359See, that's why they do this.
00:22:55.440 -->
00:23:00.799If you're up in the nosebleeds, you might be like, who, where you see the red though, you're like, Oh, there's Yamada.
00:23:00.960 -->
00:23:02.000All right, I'm good.
00:23:02.319 -->
00:23:07.119Their performance was so dreamy, and of course, RMG Yama Yamada, his face.
00:23:07.200 -->
00:23:08.640They like they know what to do.
00:23:08.799 -->
00:23:14.960When he starts to sing, they just zoom on his face, and he's already there, like lovingly singing at you.
00:23:15.200 -->
00:23:16.319Oh my god.
00:23:16.960 -->
00:23:20.079Oh, it was just awesome.
00:23:20.880 -->
00:23:24.160Like they were so lighthearted, but a little mischievous, you know.
00:23:24.319 -->
00:23:26.319Yeah, Yamada gives that wink.
00:23:26.400 -->
00:23:28.720He's like, he knew the camera was on him.
00:23:28.799 -->
00:23:29.119He knew.
00:23:29.279 -->
00:23:29.599Of course.
00:23:30.000 -->
00:23:30.880Gives a little wink.
00:23:31.839 -->
00:23:32.160There you go.
00:23:32.400 -->
00:23:33.519Yam yam goes crazy.
00:23:34.079 -->
00:23:35.440Ready, he is so ready.
00:23:35.599 -->
00:23:37.759He's like, Where's my camera, Mr.
00:23:38.000 -->
00:23:38.559Director?
00:23:38.720 -->
00:23:39.359Hey.
00:23:42.559 -->
00:23:43.440Oh my god.
00:23:43.680 -->
00:23:52.400Oh, and of course, after Hay to Jam next, it was a group singing their debut song, explosive, full of attitude.
00:23:52.720 -->
00:23:53.359Yes.
00:23:55.279 -->
00:23:57.759They were on individual risers after that.
00:23:57.839 -->
00:24:06.799They started like moving around and singing their hearts out, just introducing themselves as the group of four that they are right now and continuing them.
00:24:06.960 -->
00:24:14.720Um, they were saying, please, we're now a member of four, please continue loving us and supporting us on the new year.
00:24:15.440 -->
00:24:18.799And I'm like, of course, you guys are so cool.
00:24:19.119 -->
00:24:21.599So that was really sweet, and that was awesome.
00:24:22.000 -->
00:24:24.960It was well, you know, had a rough year.
00:24:25.119 -->
00:24:25.440Oh, yeah.
00:24:25.920 -->
00:24:26.640Up to that point.
00:24:26.799 -->
00:24:41.920So and I love I just gotta say, my boy Saya, that scream that he let out, whoo! Yeah, the blonde hair, the golden black, you know, fur outfit, and then just screaming primally the way he did, he looked awesome.
00:24:42.079 -->
00:24:42.640Oh my god.
00:24:42.880 -->
00:24:44.400Everybody knows who my fave is.
00:24:45.279 -->
00:24:50.240When I saw that performance, I'm like, I'm so Sarah's gonna be like, yeah, my boy, yes.
00:24:50.799 -->
00:24:52.160Come on, geez.
00:24:52.720 -->
00:24:56.240He really, come on, he always gives his all.
00:24:56.640 -->
00:25:00.400Since we saw them on that concert, I was like, he's always giving his all.
00:25:00.720 -->
00:25:01.279That's awesome.
00:25:01.680 -->
00:25:04.720Not we can tell who is he's the extra of the group.
00:25:07.519 -->
00:25:10.880Like it he's amazing, he really is amazing.
00:25:11.279 -->
00:25:15.759The rest of the group's great too, but he just he always stands out to me.
00:25:15.839 -->
00:25:19.279So yeah, I agree with you.
00:25:19.519 -->
00:25:27.920Then after a group, next it was Travis Japan performing their Jassy number, very Broadway inspired, of course.
00:25:28.160 -->
00:25:30.240You know, welcome to the show tonight.
00:25:30.400 -->
00:25:33.200Oh my god, so awesome, you know.
00:25:33.279 -->
00:25:37.759I I mean we have seen them perform, and that's like always that's their vibe, you know.
00:25:37.839 -->
00:25:46.640They're like the Broadway showmanship, very uh, yeah, like I said, Broadway Jassy, and you know, they're theatrics, definitely.
00:25:46.720 -->
00:25:57.839And of course, my Noel, mm-hmm when he's academics, geez, but of course the boys uh singing and dancing, because I'm like their feet never stop when they're when they're dancing.
00:25:58.000 -->
00:25:58.720It's just never stop.
00:25:58.960 -->
00:26:03.039I'm like, and I give them kudos for that because you need some stamina to do that.
00:26:03.279 -->
00:26:04.640Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:26:04.880 -->
00:26:23.039And they were just projected this like showman persona, and they were like the the stage behind them, the way it was set up too, was just very burlesque, very broad way, like you were saying, very flashy and showy, and this is what the what boys of the chorus would be doing.
00:26:23.119 -->
00:26:34.240You know, everybody's dressed the same, you're giving the same dance moves, you're singing the same thing, and it's it's just incredibly energetic, uniform, and eye catching, you know what I mean?
00:26:34.400 -->
00:26:36.720So they were they did a great job.
00:26:36.960 -->
00:26:40.960And they looked like they were having a blast with it, which is always important.
00:26:41.279 -->
00:26:45.839It's so important to see your your faves enjoying themselves doing something.
00:26:46.000 -->
00:26:50.319So they were definitely like that was them personified.
00:26:50.400 -->
00:26:53.200That is what Travis Chan is, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:53.440 -->
00:27:00.799Yeah, and how about next nanny what dance Daigo and Michi, they just zoom on so zoom in on those two.
00:27:00.960 -->
00:27:06.400They look so sweet, just just like with a very sweet song, you know.
00:27:06.559 -->
00:27:10.559I mean, to me, they're just the sweet boys of Starto.
00:27:10.720 -->
00:27:10.960Oh, yeah.
00:27:11.200 -->
00:27:13.519You know, they are just a sweet group.
00:27:13.839 -->
00:27:17.839Michi hitting those high notes perfectly, so proud of him.
00:27:18.160 -->
00:27:20.640And and it's just the whole group as at Unison.
00:27:20.960 -->
00:27:26.240I mean, they when they look at the camera, they look so well, just so cute.
00:27:26.400 -->
00:27:30.720And just looking at your tooth, you know, it's like, why are you so cute?
00:27:31.759 -->
00:27:34.079Adorably high spirited.
00:27:34.319 -->
00:27:43.519I was just thinking when you're like saying how how cute everybody is, like Nietzsche and Daigo, especially, we always talk about them being cute and adorable.
00:27:43.599 -->
00:27:45.279They're gonna be like, We're growing men.
00:27:47.680 -->
00:27:49.279Especially Daigo, isn't he?
00:27:49.359 -->
00:27:51.599Like, you know, he's up there in his twenties, right?
00:27:52.319 -->
00:27:53.200Yeah, I know, right?
00:27:53.519 -->
00:27:56.880Like, I think he he's either the eldest or one of the eldest of the group.
00:27:57.279 -->
00:28:06.400We always call him cute, and he's probably like, ah, like me with well, like hello the other Well, hello boy, that's what you project.
00:28:06.559 -->
00:28:07.839You just give us this cuteness.
00:28:08.240 -->
00:28:11.920And I'm like, how can I just say not cute to you?
00:28:12.079 -->
00:28:14.480You just that's what you I know, right?
00:28:17.359 -->
00:28:18.400It's crazy.
00:28:18.720 -->
00:28:19.519Exactly.
00:28:19.759 -->
00:28:21.039Well, and they were another one.
00:28:21.200 -->
00:28:31.839I think also the iridescence just really brought out more of that whole idea of it being just soft and sweet and cute and fluffy and adorable.
00:28:32.160 -->
00:28:32.400Yeah.
00:28:32.640 -->
00:28:33.759You know what I mean?
00:28:34.079 -->
00:28:39.039So So they were sort of like outfits went with the music and with their personality.
00:28:39.440 -->
00:28:43.680They're just generally fun, loving, happy-go-lucky kind of guy.
00:28:43.839 -->
00:28:45.279It was so cute, it was.
00:28:45.839 -->
00:28:47.920It's the only word you can use.
00:28:48.559 -->
00:28:50.160Yeah, exactly.
00:28:50.880 -->
00:28:51.599Exactly.
00:28:51.839 -->
00:28:53.440Which I'm not mad about that.
00:28:53.599 -->
00:29:00.640I kinda like the I like the different the different spices of like on what's going on on stage.
00:29:00.799 -->
00:29:03.119Everybody brought a spice, you know?
00:29:03.359 -->
00:29:04.079I like that.
00:29:04.319 -->
00:29:12.160Well, that's like I was thinking about the the whole transition from from Hey Say Jump to A group, then to Travis Japan.
00:29:12.319 -->
00:29:18.160Like when you think about those groups together, that's not a transition you usually would think of, but it worked.
00:29:18.240 -->
00:29:19.200It was awesome.
00:29:19.599 -->
00:29:23.279But I was like, wow, talk about like different styles.
00:29:23.440 -->
00:29:24.079Yeah, yeah.
00:29:24.480 -->
00:29:25.759So completely exactly.
00:29:27.039 -->
00:29:31.200If you have an ADD brain like mine, uh I'm okay with it.
00:29:31.440 -->
00:29:34.000Because it's like, cool, this is going on.
00:29:34.160 -->
00:29:35.279All right, what's next?
00:29:35.519 -->
00:29:37.279Another thing, and I'm like, oh, awesome.
00:29:37.440 -->
00:29:42.720Like I have you got my attention because uh if everything looks the same, I'm gonna be bored.
00:29:42.960 -->
00:29:45.839But I was just saying, like, they're so buried.
00:29:45.920 -->
00:29:56.400Like I didn't think about it until looking at the list of teams and groups going, and I was like, wow, you know, I would never have thought of putting them because of the way their styles are.
00:29:56.480 -->
00:29:57.200But yeah.
00:29:57.440 -->
00:30:05.440That's the good thing about whatever you want to call this a a festival or a collaboration or a you know what I mean?
00:30:05.599 -->
00:30:08.720When you have so many diverse groups, it really does.
00:30:08.799 -->
00:30:13.519It switches it up and keeps it's a showcase, it's the company showcase, you know.
00:30:13.759 -->
00:30:17.200It keeps you on your toes as far as like what's coming next.
00:30:17.279 -->
00:30:18.720What you know, what do you expect?
00:30:18.799 -->
00:30:20.720So yeah, it's cool, it's awesome.
00:30:20.880 -->
00:30:25.680So next it was my candy girl.
00:30:26.160 -->
00:30:27.119I freak out.
00:30:27.279 -->
00:30:34.799I freak out, I'm like, Kenty, and I just yellow, Kenty, I love my candy.
00:30:35.200 -->
00:30:40.880I was so hype, and I'm like, yeah, and like I'm clapping and dancing, I'm looking at Kenty and Kenty.
00:30:41.039 -->
00:30:42.240Oh my god, Kenty.
00:30:44.079 -->
00:30:45.119Oh my god.
00:30:45.440 -->
00:30:48.000And then he sang two songs though.
00:30:48.240 -->
00:30:55.920He sang one by himself and the other one with Noelle and Shime from Travis Japan.
00:30:56.000 -->
00:30:57.200They were backing him up.
00:30:57.279 -->
00:30:59.359I'm like, just like junior years.
00:31:00.400 -->
00:31:05.200I was like so happy to see that, and of course, that song.
00:31:06.079 -->
00:31:06.799Being Kenty.
00:31:07.359 -->
00:31:15.119He was he was definitely hyped, but they were enjoying themselves working with him doing this, and they were super flirty too.
00:31:15.519 -->
00:31:16.799Because that song is hot.
00:31:17.119 -->
00:31:18.000Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:31:18.960 -->
00:31:26.799Because I was gonna say the the the love Kenty was sort of like just a little prelude into him doing the super hot idolic.
00:31:27.519 -->
00:31:28.240Of course.
00:31:28.720 -->
00:31:33.279He was he was lulling you into this false sense of like, oh, it's Kenty.
00:31:35.599 -->
00:31:37.039Oh, it's Kenty.
00:31:37.759 -->

00:31:45.519How you doing?
00:31:45.759 -->
00:31:49.680And then when he catches you, boom, it's like, yeah, hello.
00:31:50.160 -->
00:31:52.880Ah, baby, like, how you doing?
00:31:53.680 -->

00:32:12.960 -->
00:32:13.599Yes.
00:32:13.920 -->
00:32:15.200We can't end it there now.
00:32:15.279 -->
00:32:16.319No, I'm kidding.
00:32:17.519 -->
00:32:23.680Well, no, because I was gonna say, what happens next is talking about you wanted to see this live.
00:32:23.920 -->
00:32:28.640We did a singles episode covering one of this group's songs, so that's kind of funny.
00:32:28.720 -->
00:32:30.240Because now you get to see it live.
00:32:30.400 -->
00:32:30.960Exactly.
00:32:31.119 -->
00:32:37.279Because then after Kenty next, it was King and Prince with their newest song theater.
00:32:37.359 -->
00:32:41.680We were like, Oh my god, awesome! I was like, Yeah, that's awesome.
00:32:43.039 -->
00:32:45.680You know, made an episode, talked about that.
00:32:46.000 -->
00:32:49.200In that episode, you were like, I would love to see this live, so we did.
00:32:49.440 -->
00:32:49.920We did.
00:32:50.720 -->
00:32:52.559Well, sorry, quote unquote.
00:32:53.279 -->
00:33:02.480Yeah, it wasn't like their concert, but I mean, at least we saw some kind of uh uh performance on it, you know, very disco, very funky, of course.
00:33:02.640 -->
00:33:05.200I was grooving to it because I was grooving to it.
00:33:05.279 -->
00:33:09.039I'm already grooving to a song that is right now streaming everywhere.
00:33:09.440 -->
00:33:10.960Check it out, everybody.
00:33:11.200 -->
00:33:18.480The performance, come on, it's it's it's so cool, like them, and oh yeah, this jacket, uh definitely.
00:33:18.559 -->
00:33:29.599This is the when I got to see the back of uh Kaito's jacket where it says love every version of myself, and I'm like, Yes, love that very positive.
00:33:29.839 -->
00:33:33.039It's it's great performance, of course.
00:33:33.200 -->
00:33:34.640Those two, you know.
00:33:34.799 -->
00:33:37.839I I really liking this version of King and Prince.
00:33:37.920 -->
00:33:53.440I know some people were just like, oh my goodness, you know, we have seen this group dissolved, and um, and people were well, some tiaros were kind of like, I don't know what's gonna become of their future, of King and Prince, just only two members.
00:33:53.519 -->
00:33:55.440And I'm like, well, just give them a chance.
00:33:55.680 -->
00:33:58.079They are artists, they know how to adapt.
00:33:58.160 -->
00:34:01.279This is gonna be a new King and Prince, of course.
00:34:01.440 -->
00:34:13.199This is a rebirth with now just two members, and it's working so well because Kaito and Ren, they seem to have this brotherhood, which we love seeing that in groups.
00:34:13.360 -->
00:34:32.960When you see a brotherhood in a group, it works because everybody, you know, know their vibes, you know, it's they rely on each other, they you know, they back each other up if you know something happens, you know, and I see that with them, and it's it's lovely and I'm loving it.
00:34:33.199 -->
00:34:41.920Yeah, well it's a it's a whole new dynamic, and it's gonna be completely different when you go from, you know, six to five to two members.
00:34:42.320 -->
00:34:42.719Exactly.
00:34:42.960 -->
00:34:45.679You know, it it changes how they interact.
00:34:45.920 -->
00:34:48.960So they'll have, like you said, an amazing chemistry.
00:34:49.119 -->
00:34:51.519Those two together work great.
00:34:51.679 -->
00:34:52.719And I like singing.
00:34:52.800 -->
00:34:56.960They're not trying to overcompensate for just being two, they're just letting it happen.
00:34:57.119 -->
00:34:58.960And that's that's awesome, you know.
00:34:59.119 -->
00:35:05.039Instead of trying to be like doing the work of five, six people, they're just like, just the two of us.
00:35:05.119 -->
00:35:15.360We're gonna do our singing, we're gonna do our dancing, and we're gonna just you know, it's gonna be more about the performance and interacting with the audience at this point, and it's awesome, and they work great together.
00:35:15.519 -->
00:35:19.039They look they looked so good up there performing, it was awesome.
00:35:19.280 -->
00:35:19.920Yeah.
00:35:20.320 -->
00:35:23.920Then next it was A B C C.
00:35:24.480 -->
00:35:25.039Wow.
00:35:25.360 -->
00:35:29.840So with their 90s inspired performance, like boy band look.
00:35:29.920 -->
00:35:31.199I like that sound.
00:35:31.440 -->
00:35:36.480Fortunately, don't know the name of that song though, but I mean it was very club anthem song.
00:35:36.559 -->
00:35:37.840Do you know the name of that song?
00:35:38.079 -->
00:35:44.960The first one they did was Vanilla, second one they did was fortune, I believe, if I'm finding stuff correctly.
00:35:45.760 -->
00:35:48.400Remember with the blonde hair.
00:35:48.559 -->
00:35:49.679I always forget his name.

00:36:27.199And he's got like an infectious, brilliant smile too.
00:36:27.360 -->
00:36:32.400When when he did that backflip and he turned around, you were like, he's like, Yeah, nail it.
00:36:34.079 -->
00:36:39.199Those suits were so the whole, you know, nineties boy band look.
00:36:39.440 -->
00:36:42.960Just I loved the simple gray and silver pinstripe.
00:36:43.199 -->
00:36:44.079It was just cool.
00:36:44.400 -->
00:36:44.960Loved it.
00:36:45.599 -->
00:36:46.000Yes.
00:36:46.559 -->
00:36:55.840Some of these groups, like back when I first started, you know, artists and stuff, I was more focused on one particular group.
00:36:55.920 -->
00:37:04.239So it was really cool to actually sort of sit down and watch and see these other groups performing and A B C I was like, wow.
00:37:04.400 -->
00:37:07.440I had no idea how amazing they are.
00:37:08.559 -->
00:37:13.920Like I'd heard some of their stuff, but I'd never really like seen them perform like that.
00:37:14.159 -->
00:37:15.280It was incredible.
00:37:15.599 -->
00:37:16.079Awesome.
00:37:16.239 -->
00:37:17.119And that's a good thing.
00:37:17.280 -->
00:37:34.800The great thing about some of the, you know, older Senpai groups that they have so many years of amazing choreography and and years of practice, you know, so they can everything is just seamless and streaming beautifully together and wow.
00:37:34.960 -->
00:37:36.400They were just incredible.
00:37:36.719 -->
00:37:37.199Yep.
00:37:37.519 -->
00:37:40.960Then um, next it was Timeless.
00:37:41.199 -->
00:37:42.159Timeless, yeah.
00:37:42.400 -->
00:37:43.119Timeless.
00:37:43.280 -->
00:37:49.840My baby soul was introducing and you know the group and uh thanking the fans for their support, of course.
00:37:50.159 -->
00:37:55.519And uh I like when they'll hurdle, like to the start the song of Rock This Party.

00:38:34.480Yeah, definitely.
00:38:34.639 -->
00:38:44.559You know what I like too is I noticed that um when we were talking about the costumes before, I forgot to sort of mention that they had sort of you remember the whole new romantic vibe?
00:38:44.960 -->
00:38:48.079Romantic vibe everybody New Romantic.

00:39:06.239 -->
00:39:06.880And pearls.
00:39:07.039 -->
00:39:12.960So when when I was watching them do Rock This Party, I was like, wow, they look like totally 80s.

00:39:14.159That's awesome.
00:39:15.119 -->
00:39:16.320Retro feel.
00:39:16.719 -->
00:39:17.840I see that now.
00:39:18.000 -->
00:39:20.960I completely forgot about that era of fashion.
00:39:21.039 -->
00:39:22.320Come on, I was I lived it.

00:39:38.639 -->
00:39:46.159For some reason, I don't see much unless it's just I'm not seeing it on my timeline, but I just seem not to see much of timeless.
00:39:46.480 -->

00:42:37.440 -->
00:42:39.599Oh, I think they started with like eight.
00:42:39.920 -->
00:42:40.639It was eight?
00:42:40.960 -->
00:42:42.159A lot of guys in news.
00:42:42.320 -->
00:42:42.639Oh.
00:42:43.440 -->
00:42:46.800Original lineup was it's been a while.
00:42:47.679 -->
00:42:56.960Because I know they were yeah, they when I was introduced to news, there were only four, and then one left, and now there's just three.
00:42:57.199 -->
00:43:06.559But then I found out later on that it was more than four when I was introduced to them, because of course, as we know, Takao from 10K Rock used to be in that group.
00:43:06.719 -->
00:43:09.039So I was like, Well, he were were they five?
00:43:09.199 -->
00:43:09.760Were they six?
00:43:09.920 -->
00:43:10.559What's going on?
00:43:10.800 -->
00:43:15.280Well, there was Rio Nishikado and Yamafi was in it briefly too.
00:43:15.440 -->
00:43:25.679So honestly, I can't remember because they changed so many times, but the three remaining, the hardcore members, yeah, they did an amazing job.
00:43:25.840 -->
00:43:26.559They really did.
00:43:26.639 -->
00:43:32.079They were super like high energy and just yeah, hyping up the crowd.
00:43:32.239 -->
00:43:32.400Yeah.
00:43:32.719 -->
00:43:36.400Doing their job as the senpies, like make it happen.
00:43:36.719 -->
00:43:37.519Exactly.
00:43:37.760 -->
00:43:46.000I like also the so on their suits, the thing it like you, you know, we were saying they were minimalistic, they were like nothing flashy, just a hot pink.
00:43:46.320 -->
00:43:56.480But I noticed that their their mic stands were bedazzled, even though they were uh black, but you can see the the stones like like little the shimmery, yeah.
00:43:56.639 -->
00:43:57.199The shimmery.
00:43:57.280 -->
00:43:59.920I was like, okay, so there's a bedazzle, it's on the mic stands.
00:44:00.079 -->
00:44:04.159I was like, I was trying to look and I'm like, there's something's gotta be sparkly in there.
00:44:05.199 -->
00:44:06.800But it was on their mic stands.
00:44:06.960 -->
00:44:14.079But I mean, come on, you're really with their voices and the way this group is, they really don't really need the bedazzling for real.
00:44:14.239 -->
00:44:16.480I mean, they're just that powerful vocally.
00:44:16.719 -->
00:44:20.079It's just a group that is just very powerful vocally.
00:44:20.639 -->
00:44:26.639Then after news, it was Snowman with Chris Mox.
00:44:26.960 -->
00:44:29.280Oh my god, hyping up the crowd.
00:44:29.440 -->

00:44:40.719Come on, oh yeah, especially with the song, they're danced, it's just fun, they're diverse, which also it shows their personality as well.
00:44:40.960 -->
00:44:43.599And of course, I'm gonna go back with Data Sama.
00:44:44.079 -->
00:44:48.559Oh god, it was just so oh he looks so princely.

00:45:05.360 -->
00:45:06.480What's with his face?
00:45:06.639 -->
00:45:07.679Why is it like that?
00:45:08.159 -->
00:45:19.360And the but I was drawn more to Koji just because he came from the Kansai region, and you know we love our Kansai boys, and I was like, I was all about Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji.
00:45:19.519 -->
00:45:25.440And then for some reason I started learning more about that this summer, and then I was like, Oh, that's why.
00:45:26.079 -->
00:45:28.719And then that just started falling for him.
00:45:31.280 -->

00:47:01.519Anyways, so then Super Daniela.
00:47:01.840 -->
00:47:03.679Oh, of course, you know.
00:47:04.000 -->
00:47:05.360Also, who was MC?
00:47:05.599 -->
00:47:07.199I forgot who was MC after that.
00:47:07.519 -->
00:47:11.760Um they was it Watanabe?
00:47:12.159 -->
00:47:12.639Yeah, yeah.
00:47:12.800 -->
00:47:24.480Yeah, after they did think, yeah, Watanabe was the one that MC, and he was, you know, saying that they're like 64 performances for 64 performers and 12 groups.
00:47:24.800 -->
00:47:27.440So that's like a lot, you know.
00:47:28.000 -->
00:47:32.480So if you were there, oh my god, you are so lucky.
00:47:32.719 -->
00:47:33.840So, so lucky.
00:47:34.000 -->
00:47:37.280I like my Koji was like, Come on, people, don't fall asleep.
00:47:37.440 -->
00:47:38.719Come on, people don't fall asleep.
00:47:38.800 -->
00:47:41.679I see you're falling asleep, and I'm like, see, that's why I love him.
00:47:41.760 -->
00:47:43.519He's so cute, he's just being funny.
00:47:43.840 -->
00:47:52.480Giving that kan sai attitude and like, you know, comedy relief, you know, but that's why I love him so much, and he's so cute.
00:47:53.760 -->
00:48:00.000Then um, next after Snowman did their thing, they did the member shuffle.
00:48:00.079 -->
00:48:10.320That's when everybody started pairing with other groups and started doing dances and and songs from like past senpies, of course, some groups, or some of their own songs too.
00:48:10.559 -->
00:48:19.920I like that uh the Fuma in Watanabe it got close in one of the songs that I thought they were gonna kiss, and everybody would start freaking out.
00:48:20.079 -->
00:48:21.039And I was like, what?
00:48:21.599 -->
00:48:25.440I mean, that crowd went wild, wild.
00:48:25.599 -->
00:48:26.800I'm like, oh my goodness.
00:48:26.960 -->
00:48:28.159Fuma, what are you doing?
00:48:28.400 -->
00:48:28.639Yep.
00:48:28.800 -->
00:48:38.159Well, they were um Fuma Shizu and Shota were like they were definitely all three that so that's what, Timeless, Travis Japan and Snowman.
00:48:38.320 -->
00:48:43.760They were yeah, they were totally bonding and having a good time together up on that stage.
00:48:44.239 -->
00:48:48.400Performing snaps, one of those snap songs.
00:48:48.559 -->
00:48:51.519Yeah, those were songs that I was like, I don't know, this song.
00:48:53.599 -->
00:48:54.639Well, they did what?
00:48:54.719 -->
00:48:57.840There was a snap song of V6, Cat Tune.
00:48:58.400 -->
00:49:00.800Super 8 that from when they were Kansan.
00:49:01.679 -->
00:49:03.280Wicked old Shonentai.
00:49:04.239 -->
00:49:04.559Yeah.
00:49:04.719 -->
00:49:15.760I mean they they definitely dug into the past group or like older, older stuff, which is again what made me think of all those junior concerts, because that's what they do.
00:49:15.840 -->
00:49:23.679They just sing all the the current popular group, you know, big name group songs as a little ensemble all over the place.
00:49:23.760 -->
00:49:25.519So it was it was really fun.
00:49:25.840 -->
00:49:26.559It was awesome.
00:49:26.800 -->
00:49:31.679I like that these were some really really good mixes of of people, you know.
00:49:32.000 -->
00:49:36.639That was a good a good section of uh the concert, you know.
00:49:36.800 -->
00:49:57.199It's just yeah, we so we had the individual groups doing their thing, and then this whole like member shuffle, and I'm like, this is pretty cool because you will get to see units, you know, members with other members, and sometimes some of those, you know, performances, I'm like, geez, they should be together for like something special.
00:49:57.360 -->
00:50:08.559Because also the harmonies and the way they sing, I'm like, wow, this is a completely different perspective from what they are in their corresponding groups, and it was just giving a different dimension.
00:50:08.639 -->
00:50:10.800I'm like, wow, this is really cool.
00:50:11.119 -->
00:50:16.159Well, it's like like when I was saying, like, Pumashizo and Shota together, right?
00:50:16.480 -->
00:50:17.280Looked really good.
00:50:17.440 -->
00:50:33.039And then like um when uh Dais K so one of the guys from ABCZ, I think it was Tsukara, you know, like when they were together performing, most of them really did have a good energy and a good dynamic.
00:50:33.360 -->
00:50:40.639And so even though it's songs you are familiar with or you aren't, like they they really made them their own.
00:50:41.039 -->
00:50:41.920It was really cool.
00:50:42.000 -->
00:50:48.400And so this was one of those the times where I was thinking about like what people might have been unhappy about.
00:50:48.639 -->
00:50:58.639And of course, once you've got a different group of people singing a song you may may have really enjoyed, you know, ten years ago, it was your favorite by whatever group.
00:50:58.880 -->
00:51:03.199It is gonna be different when you have six other people singing it.
00:51:03.360 -->
00:51:06.639It doesn't make it better or worse, it just makes it different.
00:51:06.800 -->
00:51:09.199So like just view it as a new song.
00:51:09.360 -->
00:51:19.280And uh so that was one of the things I was like, were people disappointed because you know, whatever whoever's version of Cathoon didn't sound like Catoon, well of course it's not going to.
00:51:19.360 -->
00:51:20.239You know what I mean?
00:51:20.480 -->
00:51:23.360I really I thought everybody did a really good job with these.
00:51:23.519 -->
00:51:25.679I like easy to sing Yeah.
00:51:26.000 -->
00:51:35.840It's not always easy to sing someone else's if your voice is not the same as their voice, of course it's not gonna be you know, I I just th I was like, I don't know, I thought everybody did awesome.
00:51:36.159 -->
00:51:36.320Yeah.
00:51:36.559 -->
00:51:39.360These were some really good groupings, really good pairings.
00:51:39.599 -->
00:51:40.000Yeah.
00:51:40.239 -->
00:51:54.400Yeah. 'Cause I think um and especially well one person was very suited for the song they were doing, Seiya doing one of the old Tokyo songs and that's when Matsuaka Masuhiro came out and played on drums.
00:51:54.480 -->
00:51:54.880Mm-hmm.
00:51:55.199 -->
00:52:09.199That you say you screamed when Kenzie came out, when I saw Matsuaka on that screen during the ensemble stuff, I was like, oh I was just I was blown away.
00:52:09.360 -->
00:52:14.639And so my boy Saya was like in heaven doing that song with him.
00:52:14.960 -->
00:52:20.880Because Tokyo was like the original rock band of Sarto Entertainment.
00:52:21.920 -->
00:52:23.280That was awesome.
00:52:24.159 -->
00:52:25.360So awesome.
00:52:26.239 -->
00:52:27.119That was awesome.
00:52:27.199 -->
00:52:31.119I was like, oh look at them, we got one like senpai senpai's in there.
00:52:31.280 -->
00:52:33.679I'm like, wow, that's a surprise.
00:52:33.840 -->
00:52:34.880That's awesome.
00:52:35.119 -->
00:52:37.360And then he still looks good.
00:52:37.679 -->
00:52:39.039Oh my goodness, he does.
00:52:39.280 -->
00:52:40.480But you know why, right?
00:52:40.960 -->
00:52:41.280Hello?
00:52:41.599 -->
00:52:42.239No why?
00:52:42.480 -->
00:52:45.119Because he's not married.
00:52:46.239 -->
00:52:50.639He said he will he said publicly, I will never get married.
00:52:52.320 -->
00:52:55.360He has no girl troubles, he has no female troubles.
00:52:55.519 -->
00:52:58.159He's that's why he looks so good.
00:53:00.639 -->
00:53:01.440That's awesome.
00:53:01.760 -->
00:53:03.920It is, he's very sassy.
00:53:04.480 -->
00:53:12.320Then we have like what Machu and then Nani Wad being so cute, and like Umi was in this group too, Hara.
00:53:13.440 -->
00:53:17.039Um, Ren from um Snowman.
00:53:17.679 -->
00:53:18.719I was so excited.
00:53:18.800 -->
00:53:23.440I was like, oh, that's how they're gonna fit in my song.
00:53:24.079 -->
00:53:34.000Yeah, that was so I like the the whole everybody did a little bit of rapping, but when you know Ren from Snowman, which is Meme, I'm gonna call him Meme because that's what the group called him Mimi.
00:53:34.400 -->
00:53:36.639Meme and Hara did the rapping.
00:53:36.800 -->
00:53:38.320Oh my god, and Hara started crying.
00:53:38.480 -->
00:53:40.239I'm like, oh my god, don't cry.
00:53:40.480 -->
00:53:41.199I know, right?
00:53:41.280 -->
00:53:43.519I was like, is he cheering up?
00:53:44.400 -->
00:53:46.719And then he yeah, was full on crying.
00:53:46.880 -->
00:53:49.360Well they're beautifully done.
00:53:49.679 -->
00:53:52.159They all did an amazing job with that.
00:53:52.400 -->
00:53:53.920I was very impressed.
00:53:54.159 -->
00:53:56.159My boy Machu was in there.
00:53:57.440 -->
00:53:59.119Like you said, Hara, Ren.
00:53:59.360 -->
00:54:00.239It was awesome stuff.
00:54:00.400 -->
00:54:00.800Mm-hmm.
00:54:01.039 -->
00:54:05.599And I think what Ken from um from A Group was in them too, right?
00:54:05.760 -->
00:54:11.840I think see there was uh travel Japan, Naniwa, yeah, A Group was in there, Timeless.
00:54:12.159 -->
00:54:13.519Okay, I think it was Ken.
00:54:13.760 -->
00:54:14.639But yeah.
00:54:15.039 -->
00:54:17.199Well, they were crying, I was crying.
00:54:17.280 -->
00:54:19.760I think probably people in the audience were crying.
00:54:20.000 -->
00:54:20.559Yeah.
00:54:20.880 -->
00:54:31.679I like after the when the song ended that it was Hara and Meme giving, like, you know, that holding each other, and then he went and wiped his tear off Hara's face.
00:54:31.760 -->
00:54:33.519He's like, No, don't touch my face.
00:54:34.320 -->
00:54:36.239I'm like, oh, that's cute.
00:54:36.480 -->
00:54:38.639Come on, that's so cute.
00:54:39.039 -->
00:54:58.079Then next after that, it was Kenty, uh, one of the members who kissed my foot, Ren from um King of Prince, and one of the members from from um from ABCZ, they sang this like very like passionate ballad, like great harmonies on that one.
00:54:58.159 -->
00:55:00.719I was like, wow, that was really good.
00:55:00.960 -->
00:55:09.280Don't know the name of that song though, but I do it's I know katamari by kinky kids.
00:55:09.440 -->
00:55:10.960Or now it's domoto.
00:55:11.440 -->
00:55:18.159Okay, so now okay, so now that you said that, what comes next after that?
00:55:20.000 -->
00:55:22.079Longing for Andalusia.
00:55:22.480 -->
00:55:24.400And who was starring on that one?
00:55:26.320 -->
00:55:31.840Yeah, like when you saw the the hat tilted and every everyone's probably like, who is that?
00:55:31.920 -->
00:55:32.639Who is that?
00:55:34.960 -->
00:55:36.320Time honored piece.
00:55:36.559 -->
00:55:39.599They have done this one for years and years and years.
00:55:42.000 -->
00:55:46.960It started with one of the guys from Shonen Pai who um used to work with the juniors.
00:55:47.360 -->
00:55:59.760It's just it's such a great, like, you know, Spanish sounding sexy dance, sexy maneuver thing, which is probably why Koichi Tomoto decided to come out and serve, right?
00:56:00.159 -->
00:56:02.559As one of the the leading senpai.
00:56:02.800 -->
00:56:11.119He took off the mantle of performing this song in the Sarto, you know, big year end celebration.
00:56:11.199 -->
00:56:12.400So it was awesome.
00:56:12.559 -->
00:56:12.960Yeah.
00:56:13.039 -->
00:56:16.000Uh I was I was also going like, Oh my god, it's Koichi.
00:56:16.320 -->
00:56:16.960Oh yeah.
00:56:17.440 -->
00:56:18.400I know, right?
00:56:19.119 -->
00:56:19.679And what was it?
00:56:19.760 -->
00:56:30.639Three three from Timeless and three from Travis from Shorty and Shorty, Hara, uh, Machu, Noel, Genta was there too.
00:56:30.719 -->
00:56:31.440The baby.
00:56:31.599 -->
00:56:32.239Yep, yep.
00:56:32.719 -->
00:56:33.039Uh huh.
00:56:33.360 -->
00:56:35.119I was like, Oh, MG.
00:56:35.840 -->
00:56:41.440And of course the majority they have actually been with him with uh Endless Shock, right?
00:56:41.679 -->
00:56:47.599Yeah, I was gonna say, I think um performed with him in various like stage shows.
00:56:47.760 -->
00:56:51.679Not just his endless shock, I think they all did other things together, you know.
00:56:52.079 -->
00:56:52.559Very cool.
00:56:52.880 -->
00:56:56.480Also Teda from uh Timeless was in there too, before I forget.
00:56:56.639 -->
00:57:01.360Because he said happy birthday to him because it was his birthday as well.
00:57:01.840 -->
00:57:09.360But I like how they um even though their outfits were all different, they were complimentary to each other and to Koichi Domoto.
00:57:09.599 -->
00:57:15.440So it was a very, I don't know, stylish looking set that they did singing that song.
00:57:15.519 -->
00:57:16.480It was just awesome.
00:57:16.719 -->
00:57:20.239And like I say, it made me think back to the old days.
00:57:21.360 -->
00:57:28.639Because I've seen other groupings perform that at other, you know, whatever Sarko events that they were doing.
00:57:28.800 -->
00:57:32.639It's like a a standard, an old standby piece.
00:57:32.960 -->
00:57:38.000It's like you better learn this because you're gonna be he you're gonna be singing it sometime in the future.
00:57:38.480 -->
00:57:40.079You know, it's gonna be passed.
00:57:40.639 -->
00:57:47.599This is a song that is passed on from generations and generations of like talent at at the agency, you know?
00:57:47.760 -->
00:57:49.360It's like you know, a staple.
00:57:49.519 -->
00:57:54.239It's like you have to learn this and learn the dance, learn it well, you know?
00:57:54.480 -->
00:57:55.039Yep.
00:57:55.760 -->
00:58:01.039Let's see how you do, and they did great, and it was great, and everybody had fun, and that was awesome.
00:58:01.280 -->
00:58:03.760Um let's see.
00:58:04.000 -->
00:58:17.119Well, then after that, because and they also have a little banter there, too, but I'm not gonna say um it was Hazy Jump.
00:58:17.519 -->
00:58:19.360Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
00:58:19.599 -->
00:58:29.440I like the way that Hazy Jump came out of that one because they were not on stage, but they were like on the outside in fountains, in water fountains.
00:58:29.599 -->
00:58:29.920Yeah.
00:58:30.079 -->
00:58:34.320I was like the visual rising platforms there, yeah.
00:58:35.920 -->
00:58:37.679Yeah, the water spout and the color.
00:58:37.760 -->
00:58:38.800Yeah, in their color.
00:58:39.360 -->
00:58:40.159That was really cool.
00:58:40.480 -->
00:58:45.920In their colors, and I'm like, oh, here comes the merriman's out there singing to you.
00:58:46.400 -->
00:58:49.199You know, yeah, it was this water god.
00:58:52.159 -->
00:58:54.639They look some water sprites, they look so impressive.
00:58:54.800 -->
00:58:55.280Oh my god.
00:58:55.760 -->
00:58:58.159Really very, very elegant looking.
00:58:58.480 -->
00:58:59.119Yes.
00:58:59.679 -->
00:59:00.800I love that song.
00:59:00.880 -->
00:59:02.559Do you remember that song that they sang?
00:59:02.800 -->
00:59:05.920I do not know the name of the song, but it was beautiful.
00:59:06.159 -->
00:59:08.880I I I don't know what it was.
00:59:09.039 -->
00:59:15.519That was like one of the very few songs that I couldn't quite identify, other than knowing that it's there.
00:59:16.880 -->
00:59:18.239But it was so beautiful.
00:59:18.400 -->
00:59:24.800Uh, and of course it was and Yamara giving you face, and it's like, oh my god, Yamara looking at you.
00:59:24.960 -->

01:02:36.719 -->
01:02:37.920The stage was on fire.
01:02:38.079 -->
01:02:43.679This techno song that comes out, whoa, and everybody's just like, let's go.
01:02:43.840 -->
01:02:53.280And every and I like okay, so they come out with those big fluffy things, but underneath they were wearing more like the urban streetwear, and I was like, see, I like that.
01:02:53.440 -->
01:02:54.000I like that.
01:02:54.159 -->
01:02:59.599They're you know, they are considered to be the bad boys of Startup right now, you know.
01:02:59.840 -->
01:03:05.440And you can see because there's a lot of their costumes are not too like let's see.
01:03:05.599 -->
01:03:08.000I don't see too many sparkles like, you know.
01:03:08.239 -->
01:03:17.440Maybe in some of the shows, but I mean I don't see that the whole the rhinestone and the thing and the deck, not that big of a showy except for those big old coats that we saw.
01:03:17.679 -->
01:03:30.320Yeah, the big furs with the Yeah, those were a little flashy, but yeah, they tend to be more more the the street style, more the I don't want to say just average, but like regular clothes.
01:03:30.480 -->
01:03:35.920But the boys were they were crazy, they were chaotic, they were hyped, they were on fire.

01:03:42.239They were there to turn it up.
01:03:42.559 -->
01:03:47.760Yeah, I think you know, I guess because they were running late from a previous performance or something.
01:03:47.840 -->
01:03:58.000So I bet like just the adrenaline of rushing to get there and to be on the stage doing their thing, like you could just tell they were they were running on pure adrenaline.
01:03:58.239 -->
01:04:00.239They were just like, go, go, go.
01:04:00.719 -->
01:04:01.519Exactly.
01:04:01.679 -->
01:04:10.239I I mean they started on fire, but then when they went to Abarrero, whoa, yeah, talk about getting it crunked.
01:04:10.400 -->

01:05:32.400It was so hype.
01:05:34.320 -->
01:05:35.840Oh, that was so funny.
01:05:36.079 -->
01:05:40.079Oh, then everybody gets back on stage after stones do their thing.
01:05:40.320 -->
01:05:41.599What to do what?
01:05:41.840 -->

01:05:49.119So that was cool.
01:05:49.360 -->
01:05:52.320But then everybody to, you know, quiet down.
01:05:52.400 -->
01:05:56.239But then, you know, like, remember that we were like, what happened to West?
01:05:56.719 -->
01:06:04.239And then you know we found out you found out later on that West were doing their Westa, so that's why they were not on the countdown.
01:06:04.480 -->
01:06:12.960So they project West on the uh on the screens that they had, they were all like, they looked like they went on battle.
01:06:14.480 -->
01:06:21.280Their faces were covered in some white stuff, and it was like whatever game they did for for the fans.
01:06:21.519 -->
01:06:23.840They look instead of foot and dirt.
01:06:23.920 -->
01:06:30.079It was they look so like tired and like, we're so done.
01:06:33.840 -->
01:06:45.760Because apparently whatever they were doing at the Wesco was like some intense, like, you know, costume changes and activities, and it was interactive, so yeah, I'm sure they were tired.
01:06:45.920 -->
01:06:49.840And at this point, it was um it was time for the midnight countdown.
01:06:49.920 -->
01:06:51.199So exactly.
01:06:51.519 -->
01:06:54.559They all look like let's let's do the countdown and go home.
01:06:54.639 -->
01:06:55.840I'm so tired.
01:06:59.039 -->
01:07:01.199Bring in the new year and then we're done.
01:07:01.519 -->
01:07:02.480Exactly.

01:07:12.880This time our boy Fuma, he started the countdown, and uh uh it I mean everybody just you know counting down and just having some fun.
01:07:13.119 -->
01:07:15.440Oh but uh come on.
01:07:15.599 -->
01:07:19.519It's it it was great, it was great, it was amazing.
01:07:19.679 -->
01:07:21.599They all sang more songs.
01:07:21.840 -->
01:07:28.880Oh yeah, oh, oh, the Cinderella girl with Nani Wadanji, the King and Prince.
01:07:29.039 -->
01:07:40.239Oh my god, yeah, love this was this was when they did um they did the mix and match again, you know, different groups working together, only now they were singing like one of their own songs.
01:07:40.400 -->
01:07:40.639Yeah.
01:07:40.800 -->
01:07:44.800So yeah, that was really that was really cool to see that happen.
01:07:45.039 -->
01:07:51.199I was all King and Prince and Nani Wadanshi doing Cinderella Girl was like so awesome.
01:07:51.280 -->
01:07:52.239It was beautiful.
01:07:52.480 -->
01:07:55.039It was like Chef's kiss.
01:07:55.119 -->
01:07:56.400It was so awesome.
01:07:56.559 -->
01:08:01.280And then I remember just saying to myself, I think Nani Wadanshi should take over the song.
01:08:01.440 -->
01:08:02.800It's just I don't know.
01:08:03.760 -->
01:08:11.440Well, especially because they they had switched up their costumes and they were wearing those like pink uh mariachi almost outfits.
01:08:11.679 -->
01:08:20.560Yeah, it was like white, pink silver sparkly, yeah, like splattered like you know, you know, pastel colors again in like mariachi style, like you said.
01:08:20.880 -->
01:08:24.800And everybody was wearing like a s a different shade of pink at one time.
01:08:25.039 -->
01:08:25.359Yes.
01:08:25.520 -->
01:08:28.720Oh they they look yeah, it looked really cool.
01:08:29.199 -->
01:08:35.600So sorry, sorry, running Kaito, but maybe you'll leave to pass that song on, right?
01:08:36.239 -->
01:08:37.199They should.
01:08:37.359 -->
01:08:39.680I think it should go very well for Nani Wan.
01:08:39.840 -->
01:08:41.520They I like I don't know.
01:08:41.760 -->
01:08:45.359It's just like it should be their song now, in my opinion.
01:08:46.720 -->
01:08:48.399You know, yeah, no, they did awesome.
01:08:48.640 -->
01:08:53.520Or at least if they ever sing it, bring Nani Wananchi with you, you know.
01:08:53.840 -->
01:08:55.760Oh, that was so sweet.
01:08:56.000 -->
01:08:57.279I love that.
01:08:57.920 -->
01:09:02.720Um, there were other um multiple, you know, songs took together, I think.
01:09:02.880 -->
01:09:04.720Oh yeah, Snowman and Stones.
01:09:05.039 -->
01:09:09.920Uh they did one of the uh stone um snowman songs, I think is the brother song.
01:09:10.079 -->
01:09:12.800Oh my god, they did for the um brother beat, yeah.
01:09:12.880 -->

01:12:07.920 -->
01:12:12.880Which was why the white powder on their faces they were doing some sort of game.
