Better late than never...?

As promised (a long, long time ago...), here are my thoughts on Dream Live 6th. In bullet form, copied directly from my Hawaii journal, since I wrote them down on the flight. For me, the show was:

- Silver Pair synchro fail (baka pair win?!)
- Tezuka & Sanada can sing
- Shitenhouji are ravers at a gay disco!
- Yuuji = sparkly crop top
- Higa with leis
- Yakiniku battle
- Ichinensei get a little song
- High school uniforms: sequined badges, WTF Fuji?! (Mao with polka dot tie!)
- Still like A Shiraishi better (B not feeling the ekusutaji~~ quite so much)
- Flying Taka!
- 5th Horio really, really short*
- Koori no emperor & Hyoutenka no jounetsu medley
- B Gakuto SO MUCH CUTER with that wig
- Hardly any talk at all compared to DL5 (perhaps they had less rehearsal time after Shitenmyu's super long run?)
- Luke C. needs to learn to pack his junk better. >_<
- "Do Your Best" & "Kimi to nakama de/Good Combination" blast from the past
- Can't remember what had me screaming "OH MY GOD! D:"

I still can't remember what had me yelling, but when I get my hands on the DVD and watch it, it will hopefully come back to me. ^_^

* I think he must be going through a growth spurt, because when I saw him on stage on Friday, he didn't seem that short anymore. Does anyone care about him enough to confirm/deny this?

And here's what my brother thought! I was very proud of him for wearing his (my) kirakira mitt and waving his (my) light stick around just like everyone else, though he had but a minimal understanding of what was going on, having only watched the anime up to the end of the Hyoutei arc. His comments:

- I didn't understand anything
- I was surprised at how many people had light sticks
- I felt tall
- The screaming was insane
- Everyone seemed to really like the guy in yellow [Sanada]
- The parsimonious use of pyrotechnics was a bit strange [my brother's way of saying that he didn't expect random fireworks at a musical about tennis XD]
- There was lots of energy, but I still didn't understand anything

And there you have it, folks. Tomorrow (possibly), my Very Silly Review of the newest show. I'm half-tempted to once again transcribe it as is, random Japanese included. :D

You need to put your brother's review up on the main comms. I think it's the most complete and concise review I've ever read. Ever. I almost want an icon that says "...Everyone seems to really like the guy in yellow..." Which sums up my attitude toward Rikkai completely.

I didn't much care for Rikkai in the anime at first, but they grew on me during the Senbatsu arc, and myu!Rikkai is the perfect mix of totally ridiculous and hot. ^___^

Your brother's review >>> everything.

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Just the fact that I got to take him to tenimyu >>> everything, for me. XDDD

lol Both of your reviews are great but your brother's gave me a laugh just before I headed out the door to work. I'm now on break to reply. You can tell him that everyone except me likes the guy in yellow. I still don't understand what the big deal is about Kanesaki. :/

And me! Well, I don't get Rikkai love. See Kane in person and you'll at least appreciate him physically. 8D He has the body of a god.

I went to DL6 twice so I have seen him in person and he just doesn't do anything for me. Perhaps it's because he's playing a character I don't like on a team I don't like but even ooc he doesn't turn my crank.

[umbrellaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Oh, that doesn't do him justice. I mean, like, metre away could touch him but won't in person. I met a friend after a show once in Ikebukuro and saw him at the demachi... Seriously, his face does nothing for me, but I have a thing for shoulders, and he's just BUFF. Built like a race horse. XD I think the only way I would like Sanada though would be if Tenimyu did Manatsu No Mayonnaise because Sanada is FUCKING INSANE in that song. <3

Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^

I like Kanesaki because he's kind of a big dork in person and his smile is infectious. He looks pretty good in a suit, too. XD
