Let's talk about the brilliant production that is Scene DOME+ DVD. ^^
First, let me do a shout out to Arashi's choreographers: Tadako and Tsuru.
Mada ue wo was freaking hot~<3
Much love for choreographing that. ^^ After a long wait and building anticipation to watch that performance, honestly, you guys do not disappoint.
That was just W-O-W!!! o_O!!
I can watch it over and over and over again. ^^
Stage producer, Tsuyoshi Yamato, much love to you too. Totally enjoyed the stage settings, transitions, camera work and etc etc. ^^
If you're thinking, 'Well, isn't it enough to watch the Kokuritsu one? They're from the same tour anyway.'
All I can say is, 'Heck NO!'
The atmosphere and presentation are really different from Kokuritsu. It feels much closer and more intimate in the Fukuoka Dome.
Maybe it's because the Concert and DVD Staff are already familiar with the Dome concert production,
or maybe because the Dome is indoor and much smaller in comparison to Kokuritsu,
or maybe because it was their final stop of the tour,
or maybe because it was held in a new season and a new year...
You MUST watch it! Too many scenes to write down to do justice to the DVD.
The encores were so much fun. ^^ Still... as the finale is just~<3
Oh, they included the MC in the concert just as is... Almost.
They took out some parts of the MC which was already shown on Tetsuko no Heya SP when the hostess went behind the scenes of Arashi concert.
Arashi's MC is funny as always. :D
And I haven't even gone to Disc 3 with Arashi's Training Camp, behind the scenes of album jacket shoot and the making of and PV of Mada Minu Sekai He. XD
We really should have more non-Tokyo Dome versions. Can we have Sapporo Dome next time, please? mOm
Anyway, Disc 3 in the LE has all kinds of epic scenes.
One of my favourites is Sho playing Hatenai Sora on the piano. ^^
The other members listening, encouraging and looking affectionately at him~<3
I hope Sho'd be playing piano in the coming tour.
Thank you to Jun and Nino for the push. High five!
Sho was hesitant and unsure when he played, there were mistakes, but that scene was so much love~<3
About Mada minu sekai he...
Well, hello~<3
Choreography is out of this world. XD
Ha...ha... I think the concept for this music video is 'alien' or space explorer.
Just like the song title, heading towards a yet unseen world.
The hairstyles, Aiba's purple contact lenses and the backgrounds used.
I hope Arashi would perform in the black costume on tv someday.
I love Sho's black costume~<3 Bias is obvious. XD
The director and the set were the ones from A.Ra.Shi. Lots of colour and flashing lights.
So a warning here for those who can't stand flashy photography.
Seems like the colour and brightness came back with a vengeance after the much muted palate in their previous PVs. XD
I wonder how the Beautiful World tour would be like.
We also got a short glimpse of the tour meeting in the DVD. When Aiba suggested 'Sketch', I knew it would be awesome. XD
Love love love that song. ^^
Hope they would include that in the set list.
Talking about the DVD could go on and on. There is so much goodies packed into the three discs to flail about. ^o^
Arashi and the entire production team sure know how to treat the fans. ^^
Shame they didn't include Ohno's birthday. Maybe next time? :P
Ah... One scene which made me smile is that of a father and his son in the audience.
The boy on the chair (?) with the dad standing behind him. I wonder if the mother was there as well. So cute. ^^
The white banner revealed with 'Otsukaresama' from the fans and staff was sweet too. So much love, Arashi fandom~<3
How can you not feel the love?
Arashi concerts and DVDs totally spoiled me for anyone else. They were just so freaking good~<3
Watch it and you will understand what I mean. They set the bar high yo. ^^
Anyway, what's your favourite scenes from the DVDs? Highlights? Notable parts? Want to hear from you too. ^_^
