Parade Concert Report

Combined summary of all performances.

Weekender

12/28

During the part where they’re walking really slowly Yuto walked all the way to the end and stuck his leg out like he was going to walk off the edge of the stage.

Star Time

12/22

Hikaru choked during his solo line. He looked to the side, coughed and tried to continue, but couldn’t. He made a gesture/face like, "Sorry! 👏💦"

During the MC they asked him about what happened and he said, "Some star dust got stuck in my throat."

Fanfare!

1/1

Semio made a cameo. Yamada changed his spoken line to "Nante subarashii sekai nanda!" (What a wonderful world!)

1/13

Yamada changed his spoken line to すいとーよ！, "I love you!" in Hakata dialect.

Hana Ichi Monme

12/22

Yuyasaver was holding onto Yabunbun’s stinger and following him around like a duckling or something.

Wo I Need You

1/12

Yamada was patting a baby in the audience on the head as he sang his "sono kuchibiru ubacchatte ii desu ka?" solo.

SUPER DELICATE

I don't want to perform this song dressed like this.

11/29 Yuya... The show must go on!

Yuya nodded his head really forcefully and his goggles fell over his eyes.

12/21 I know you can do it, Yuya. Believe in yourself.

12/22 This is what being an idol is!

12/28 Stop and think about it rationally for a second..... This is what Johnny-san wanted.

12/30 Yuya... This is our job.

1/1 Just do it. I’ll give you New Year’s money.

1/11 Yuya... You chose this path yourself.

1/13 Yuya... There’s no turning back now.

1/12

Yuto put the pom pom from his hat on Yamada’s nose. Yamada bit it and wouldn’t let it go even when they were supposed to start dancing again. Yuto acted panicked, pulled on it, and poked Yama on the cheeks like, “Let go!”

At the end, Yabu left the line and walked over to the side. When Yuto threw his headphones Yabu dove and caught them. 

MC

11/30

Are you having fun in the top row?!

*cheer*

I can’t hear you!!!!!

*CHEER*

Yeah!!!!!

Are you having fun in the middle rows?!?!

*CHEER*

....Ok.

I’m not going to bother asking the lower rows.😝

Daichan posed like he was going to pull Daiking's branch out like a sword, but instead took his belt buckle off and started acting like a sentai hero.

That thing comes off?!

Yamada tried to take the flower off of Chinen’s back.

Oh. It doesn’t come off.

I mean. It can. If you just rip it off. We can fix it before the Nagoya performances.

Others: Don’t destroy your costume!

12/20

When practicing dance, instead of facing the mirror, Chinen faces the rest of the members because he’s just so happy to be spending time with them. Also, he knows all of the parts so he can fill in for any member.

12/21

You’re all welcome to join Radirer tonight. I’ll personally pay your appearance fee... Everyone’s averting their gaze. I guess that means no one’s coming.

12/28

Are you all done taking notes?

They’re going to post it on Twitter later.

Get those likes.

Daiking lost his belt buckle!

I must have dropped it somewhere. I won’t be allowed to go home until I find it.

Someone has a Vermont Curry uchiwa.

What were they a fan of first; you or the curry?

Or they’re from the state of Vermont.

12/29

I hope Marius doesn’t disappear during the countdown concert this year.

We did safety checks during rehearsals. There’s nowhere for him to fall this time.

1/1

A “Happy New Year” banner above the castle.

The domed rooftops had “2020” on them.

The castle windows had bows on them.

The long screen along the balcony seats had “HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2020” on it.

1/11

During Hana Ichi Monme Daichan wiped his nose with his hand before grabbing my hand! Gross!

That would make it Hanamizu (snot) Monme. Hehe.

Before the music started, Yamada actually said, “You’re the worst.” Lol

Chinen went to Yabu’s grandma’s house on the 2nd. He played with Yabu’s niece and even got New Year’s money from his grandma.

Chinen is the people’s grandson.

I’m glad grandma seemed well.

She’s not your grandma!

Oh! my darling

11/30

Chinen got in front of Yama at the end of Oh! my darling again and immediately after the song ended they started singing Happy Birthday. They brought out a cake with his face, “Parade”, and a wolf on it and “Happy Birthday” and Sabonen’s face were on the ceiling in neon.

12/21

Wai Wai Daichan!

The other members were acting in awe of him and lining up to shake his hand.

12/22

Wai Wai Hikaru!

He appeared on the upper stage. The other members were looking up at him in awe and waving. He turned around and acted like he was going to backflip off the ledge.

That’s right. It’s me... your darling. 🌟

12/28

Yuya and Yuto were standing off to the side together yelling, “Yamada!” When he acknowledged them they screamed like fan girls.

12/29

Yuya and Yuto were in the background pointing at the camera and waving excitedly, acting like people who were being filmed for TV for the first time or something.

1/12

I see you people who won’t turn your penlights red!

Now they’re all turning them blue!

*Staff turn the stage lights blue*

Turn them back to red! Now even the staff are teasing me!

Maybe if you say something cute they’ll turn them back.

I don’t want to...

3, 2, 1...

Now!

You have to say something cute!

I thought they’d turn them back on the count of three if I said, “Now!”

He can do it. He acts like he doesn’t want to, but he can do it.

I really don’t want to! We’re pushing the time on the MC! Just turn them back!!!!!

The fans tease you because they love you. 

He sung part of Ai no Katamari and we turned them back to red. He was really whining towards the end. Felt guilty, but he was too cute.

1/13

Everyone immediately turned their penlights blue.

You all read something on Twitter, didn’t you?! We’re SERIOUSLY pushing the time today! Just turn them back!!!!!

Ai no Yuuhi

12/21

Yuto and Inochan were ballroom dancing.

Me

11/30
Instead of saying “medetai” (happy, auspicious, joyous) at the end, Daichan said, “Chinen omedetou!” (Happy birthday, Chinen!)

1/11

Mentaiko no ME!

“The ME of mentaiko!”; a Fukuoka specialty.

Final ad lib

11/30

At the very end, Hika was trying to get Yuto to do it.

(Annoyed voice) Fine. I’ll do it. You guys...

(Super sweet voice) I love you.

*SCREEEEECH*

Us: ...WTF just happened?

12/21

Hey, will you... go on another date with me?

12/29

Darn. I’m the last one..... Bye!

Ultra Music Power

1/13

Double encore. Hikaru did Yuya’s “kousan!” pose as fan service to someone.
