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.
