Sheesh, everything went crazy while I was away for the weekend.

About the Sexy Zone news, snow kindly already translated the Oricon article, and since we have no news from the agency, I'm not going to comment on it as of right now. As soon as the agency releases information on it, I'll translate it and post it here.

Setting the bad aside, this weekend was amazing. JUMP was really amazing, and seeing them twice in one day was amazing, too. That group has really come so far in such a short time… things were so bad this time two years ago, and yet now, they're all so even, and all get so much stage time, and they just all seem so happy together, and to genuinely love and respect one another. I'm going to write a full report for both shows, but for now… they were really amazing, all nine of them, and the show really showed how much they've grown in the past two years.

Also, I'll talk more about the guys who came to watch later, but one exciting thing that happened that wasn't really relevant to the show is that I walked behind Nagata Jiei and 3 other random juniors that I didn't recognize from about halfway between the venue and the station until we got to the station. XD The guys just sort of sauntered up from the direction of the venue; there's an above-ground walkway and then the ground level regular sidwalks. Mostly, fans use the above-ground walkway, so the boys met up with us in the crowd right as we walked off the walkway. I couldn't tell who they were from behind right away, but eventually, I caught a glance of Nagata's face and I knew it was them. I don't really know who they are, but it was still exciting. XD;

I'll get to more later, but right now, I have to be at work bright and early tomorrow, typhoon or no, so good night!

Everything you've said. Yes. I was watching Inoo the whole time (of course) and he was looking so hard for people with his uchiwa. I saw TONS of Inoo fans- maybe not in comparison to the Yamada, Yuto, and Daiki fans but he really had a lot! I was surprised! And he didn't notice them at all. Or me. =_=; I think he's a special type of fail; the type that looks so hard that he doesn't see. But he waved SO HARD at the kids section. He kept coming over (in the last show) grinning from ear to ear waving at all the kids. I love him.

To answer your reply to my other comment: Yes! I had a wonderful time. There was a lot of tragedy for me surrounding this concert (not going to bore you with details, it's a bit personal anyway) but Jump are honestly the best thing to have happened to me; getting to see them working so hard and actually having it pay off- that was amazing. I mean I saw Live With Me, too, but Yokohama is so much smaller it's a different feeling.

We had center (!) seats for the first Monday show (I hit for them!!!) and Yamada saw my friend and I and smiled at us. HE IS AN ANGEL. More than that. I don't know. I felt like something amazing and pure and like.. better than life had just looked at me. XD I always say Yamada is the perfect person but he really is. He just really is.

I was a bit disappointed that all 3 shows we went to, during Yes, when they're doing the hip rolls on stage, that the cameras weren't set up to show all of them. They had 3 slots on the screen... but showed Yamada on all of them. Of course I was looking at him anyway (niban) but Takaki is REALLY good at that sexy guy stuff.

Come Back was my favorite performance, I think, but... School Girl and Oh! Idol and Super Super Night and Forever and and and.. everything. o_o just everything.

Sorry for the novel. XD; I started getting sick (long time coming, am a kindergarten teacher now =_=) during the last show and woke up an hour ago with a fever so I may be a bit delusional right now. XD

JUMP ;~~~; They really have come so far in the last couple years, and they always just look like they love what they do so much ♥ And getting to see them in YokoAri was really amazing, too.

And I still can't believe we walked behind juniors! So crazy XD
