belletagy: mayu's solo live.

wefoefjweif SOLO LIVE DAY!!!!!!! My dream is finally going to come true on this day :')

(i successfully woke up yay)

Ok the reason why i woke up that early was bc i planned to reach the venue at 8am to queue for goods which started selling at 9am. It's my first time with stuffs like this so i had no idea how things would flow. One biggest shock was when i read twitter and people were already otw at 6am. SIX IN THE MORNING. Oh god. I was so scared goods would sell out very fast but nah things were fine hehe.

loots~ including those i bought for my friends. hahaha

(think i spent more than 20,000yen/SGD230 omg)

lugging everything, especially 6 of that huge urethane penlight for the whole day was tiring and a chore.

okay 1st performance! got the 8th row, closer than what i expected so i was rlly happy.

(so thankful for female seats)

1200-1245 / doors open 1030

Setlist:

M01 Deai no Tsuzuki

M02 Kiss no Sonar Oto

Some thoughts:

Since it's my live ever, yes i've never been to a concert before, i was really excited because i had no idea how it'd be. So overall it was a real blast because everything was just so new and fresh.

Before it began, Mayu made an announcement saying the usual stuffs like no videography or audio recording, silent your phones etcetc. And with each "instruction" she told us, fans would reply "Okay~" and Mayu went "thanks". It was so cute HAHAHA

Mayu also said she was really nervous because her last solo live was back in 2013.

Deai no Tsuzuki was really great. I've tried singing that song a couple of times but it's just really difficult and I'd get all out of breath in the middle & end up out of tune. So listening to Mayu's beautiful voice was just really admirable. I didn't memorise the songs Mayu would be singing for the Request Corner so it was kind of fun to guess which songs were which (I'm not very familiar with her past solo B-side songs).

As for Onna no Ko Nara, Mayu went down to the audience to throw signed balls and as soon as she did that, I could see everyone around me trying to find desperately where Mayu was but to no avail. So we were just waving our urethane penlights blankly LOLOL. The song ended midway before Mayu returned to the stage, and she was so cute when she said the song ended LOL. Once she returned to the stage, she had this bigger-than-usual ball and she threw it to the female section!! She even confidently declared it'd reach the last row. But of course since it's Mayu, it ended up at the 2nd row. LOL

Then it was encore and Mayu appeared in that black dress!! And she was looking to the right (her left) of the stage for the backstage staff to bring out the mic, but the staff came out from the left (her right) and Mayu didn't realise until the mic was infront of her bc she's busy looking at the other direction LOLOLOLOL. Magirashiteiru was really good!!!!!! Mayu was so perfect?!?! And that dress omggggg. Oh she also mentioned the screen facing her on the stage showed the setlist, and they typed Magirashiteiru as Magirawashiteiru LOL. She then said many ppl also didn't know how to pronounce it properly hahahaha.

MCs:

Typical water-drinking scene

Fans: How does the water taste~??

Mayu: Urethane flavour~ (Her designed penlight was called Urethane penlight and Mayu was obsessed with the word Urethane she kept repeating it and said the word would trend)

Fans: Let me drink the water~

Mayu: No

Others

- Mayu shorted Onna no Ko Nara to Onara, which means fart

- Mayu was memorised by the huge lightsticks and said could look at them for 3 hours LOL

And as with all fun things, 45 mins passed in the wink of an eye...

But I still had 2 more lives so I was still really hyped!!!!

Overall it was a really really really perfect live, considering the fact it's also my first live ever.

Oh and went to grab some snacks in between and while chilling on the streets and eating, a bee just wouldn't leave me alone :(

==================================================================

2nd performance!

1530-1615 / doors open 1400

Setlist:

M01 Deai no Tsuzuki

M02 Mayuyuroid

M03 Taiyou to Sanpo

M04 Seifuku Identity

M05 Yuugure to Hoshizora no Aida

EN01 Magirashiteiru

Ok the setlist is basically the same with M02-M05 changed, but the overall flow is still the same so gonna skip writing a whole chunk of paragraphs here. It's basically a copy of what I wrote previously but with different song names LOL. And Mayu has more or less gotten use to it so she's less nervous than the 1st live now~

Oh I was particularly excited for M03 because Mayu once mentioned on her G+ she likes that song! So it was like my dream to see her perform it :')

During the throwing of signed balls in M05, she said she'd aim to the 2nd floor but ended up at 2nd row again HAAHAHAH oh Mayu.

In the 1st live, Mayu's fringe was just down naturally and she complained it was a burden. So now she put her fringe behind her ear~

MCs:

Typical water-drinking scene

Fans: Soft water? Hard water?

Mayu: Eh~ what is it... I'll check later!

Fans: Irohasu? (Mineral water brand)

Mayu: Product name LOL. I can't say it. Adult matters.

Others

Small kid: Mayuyu kawaii!

Mayu: You're cuterrrrr

Mayu: If only we can get all the kids on stage

Mayu: It'll be like an educational programme LOL

Mayu: Those who were here for the 1st live~~!

Fans: (Loud cheers)

Mayu: Ohh~~~ The same people..... Just different seats?? LOL

Mayu: Then, who's here for the first time~?

Fans: (Loud cheers)

Mayu: Ohh.. The calculations doesn't match LOL

OMG SO CUTE HAHAHAHAH. Mayu's MCs never fail to make me laugh!!! So dorky and adorable weijfwojfaosiegj

==================================================================

the last and final performance..

1830-1925 / doors open 1700

Setlist:

M01 Deai no Tsuzuki

M02 Koyubi no Hohoemi

M03 Sayonara no Hashi

M04 Triangler

M05 Yokogao Romance

EN01 Magirashiteiru

EN02 Synchro Tokimeki

Gonna highlight 2 songs here: Triangler & Synchro Tokimeki.

Firstly, Triangler. IT WAS PERFECT. Like wow. Just wow. Hearing her sing this song live is like a dream to me. She also mentioned Sakamoto Maaya, the original singer, asking Mayu to cover it personally. It's really such an honour. :')

Mayu was really nervous singing this song. She mentioned that when she was singing Sayonara no Hashi she was SOOOO NERVOUS because Triangler's coming up!! HAHAHA And after Triangler ended, she did this very cute little dance-sort-of-like thing, like relieving her nervousness through shaking. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA CUTENESS LEVEL MAX SERIOUSLY.

And Synchro Tokimeki!! Mayu added that song specially because it was the final performance!!!!!!!!! And omg the whole venue was really really really hyped up and you could hear the cheers being louder than usual and the overall atmosphere then was just PERFECT. Idol Mayu with loud cheers everywhere. PERFECT.

Oh, also wanna mention I had an aisle seat for the first time in all 3 lives, which I was really looking forward to since Mayu would be walking around the audience!! Obviously I didn't know there was the surprise EN02 song so I thought she'd come down at M05. I was soooo excited only to be disappointed when she didn't come down. :(

But then later during EN02 she came down!! And omg Mayu was SOOOOO NEAR to me!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly when she was beside my row she was looking at the other direction so didn't had any eye contact with her :( But it's okay she was damn near to me. Oh she also mentioned in the earlier lives, this distance is even closer than in HS!

In her usual throwing balls scene, for the biggest ball, she was REALLY serious. Like very serious. She put her mic down, did "warmups", and practiced various throwing poses. Like volleyball poses, baseball pitcher poses, etc.. HAHAHAHAH With a very serious face as well. And the result? It reached the 5th row! Best result ever! HAHAAHA

MCs:

Typical water-drinking scene

Fans: What flavour is the water??

Mayu: Karaage flavour

Others

Mayu: You might have to carry your urethane penlights with it sticking out of your bags, please be aware of that.

Mayu: Those who came for all 3 lives~~~!!!

Fans: (Loud cheers)

Mayu: Y'all enjoyed the first day of Silver Week right~

Fans: Don't know about Silver Week!!

Mayu: Idk too!

(While saying goodbye)

Mayu: Let's meet someday again~ At some event or HS LOL

Mayu: Those coming for the event tomorrow, see you tmrw LOL

==================================================================

After everything ended, went for dinner! Was VERY hungry because for the entire day I only had 2 pieces of bread and drinks. #lifeofafan

My first ramen in this trip!!!!!!! They were really generous with the chashu as well. Yummmmmm.

Final thoughts:

To summarise everything in one sentence, it'd be: I CAN NOW LIVE WITHOUT REGRETS.

But really. It has always been my dream to attend her solo live and that was why I was so insistent on attending this. Even had to persuade my parents to let me go.. The things I'd do for an idol. Hahaha.

All 3 lives were really great - especially the last one. Wish I could relive this day again.
