10-11 Scene Dome DVD, thoughts and flailings

I'm glad that they did some of the things that they did at the Tokyo Dome concert, because I really wanted to see Aiba sing Ohno's intro to "kotoba yori taisetsu na mono", not to mention Jun's "yonda? yonda?... kichatta..." part in during the encore. Somehow while it was playful and teasing during the Tokyo Dome show in this one it's kind of swoon-worthy, with him speaking in double entendres.

Of course the Aimiya is precious, especially with Nino tearing up Aiba's shirt - I saw a picture of Aiba with the torn shirt in an unofficial photobook and was wondering how it happened; now I know XD - and him not wanting to sing their "new song", Lu-tas.

I love Sho's performance of "T.A.B.O.O." in this DVD so much more than the Koku one, because he seemed more loose and relaxed. "Come Back To Me" and "Magical Song" were also better in this concert, I think, although I may prefer watching the Koku version of "1999*4##111 " just because of the part where Nino waddles up the stairs like a cute penguin. (He does that in this one, too, but the camera angles were better in the other.) Sho's rap scenes in "Believe" and "Still" and "Mada Ue wo" makes me fall for him all over again (and then spoil it by looking at the new Jun anan and saying "oh, do I have a new ichiban?" XP) and... yeah. This DVD is pretty much amazing. Even without the extras, it would have been.

But, oh, what kya-worthy extras. The training camp is so full of Sakumoto win. And even if you're not a Sakumoto shipper, Evil!Jun + Fail!Sho is always a good thing. I'm actually impressed of and scared for Sho in this one, because, you know, when it's happening to you it's not funny at all. It really is scary. Terrifying, even. The fact that he managed to go through it, and laugh at himself about it, is really... I don't even know what to say. This is why I love this guy. Their sleeping arrangements was also perfect for me, since it has all my favourite pairings - Aimiya, Sakuraiba, Sakumoto, and Juntoshi. I swear, this training camp is so full of fodder for fics. Jun in his glasses and pyjamas? New thing to be shipped by me. Makes him look kind of like an ossan, but a really cute one.

I love so many things about the DVD, really. The jacket-making, the PV-making, were both lovely to watch, and Aiba in particular is so very pretty in them. The solo interviews were precious. (What Sho said about Jun! What Oh-chan said about Jun!) The training camp, their BBQ session, Aiba not wanting to give up but learning to give up, them basically acting like family with each other... it really warms my heart. The song that they recorded is probably going to be my one of my new favourites, and Sho playing the piano (two things I love, together) is perfection. Well, really when I listened to Sho, I kept hearing the off-key parts more than the prettiness of it (but it is a pretty song, and Sho did well, considering) but my favourite part is watching the rest watch him.

How can anyone not think Ohmiya are cute, seriously.

The way he's looking at Sho.

The way he's looking at Sho!

The way these two are in a world of their own XD

In conclusion, this DVD is absolutely, positively worth buying, and I can't wait for my copy to arrive.
