I went to the Morning Musume Concert at 6PM, but I got there at 1:45. I picked up some goods- a shirt, towel, and Ai, Eri, and Risa pics. I went to Jamsil to kill some time, trying to find another Shinsegae, to use my gift certificate. At 4:50, I was seated with everyone else. The concert began at about 6:10 and ended about 8:15. It was a very entertaining concert. Risa definitely owned the stage and was very happy performing in Korea. She seemed to feel comfortable speaking Korean, and she did a lot of talking. This definitely put her ahead of the other members in Korean polls (I think). I had a floor standing spot in the F2 area. The floor stage was split into 4 quarters. Seat numbers were not necessary to know, it just meant what order you got to wait in line. I wasn't able to sneak any good photos inside, because the security was abit more closer and enforced the no pics rule (not to the point of checking cell phones, but asked to not do so). The stage was nicely arranged and I was about 15 feet from it, however the crowds were stacked in front of me. Yes and WOTA were present, and yes even in Korea, the local WOTA know the choreography. In the time of the concert they sang alot of songs, some were full some not. The stage had a cube set up. 2 Outside ones housed lights, the second inner 2 were entry/exit ways, and the center was an entrance also. Above the center cube, was a single screen.
Highlights-
Risa getting alot of attention
Local fan clubs going all out
Eri speaking Japanese, Linlin speaking Chinese, Risa translating both to Korean
6th Gen MC- All the girls practicing "I Love You" in Korean
JKM performance covered 1 member only during the monster medley. A slot machine was pictured on the screen and spun. It stopped on Linlin and she did her intro.
The costume change for The PEACE- The girls lined up during Souda! We're alive and marched into the center cube and walked out the other side wearing The PEACE costumes.
A concert where the amount of girls was almost equal to guys.
Risa did the Sexy Beam
