~EVERYTHING~

Ok...i know this is kinda late but allow me to 'fangirl'ing all over again...Being a jobless person in a family is not the best i think...so, lets fill it up with something more meaningful...($#@%^..??)
a little (tried hard to make so but you know...) story about the best concert ever should be ok i guess..(-.-)
too much to say but let pictures describe the rest

Kokuritsu (National Stadium) also known for Olympic Stadium, the place where the concert was held

with maximum capacity of 75,000 audiences and thousands more people dying to get the tickets, you can only pray for your luck for a good spot once you got the place. if not, just be satisfied with the big and impressive stage screen.

5x1o Anniversary Concert was a great improvement from the last AAA 2008 concert which was held at the same place. Although personally I had to admit that AAA 2008 was better than 5x10 Anniversary concert but what a celebration without high production costs, right? Most important, the stage look luxurious than AAA 2008...Marking their 10 years of debut and 2nd year in a row as the only group that perform at Kokuritsu (Kokuritsu only allow one performer a year), this concert was something to be proud of and shared with many people.

i waited too long for the DVD to be released (well, not as long as the NEWS' one but yeah...3 months after the concert ending was enough to make some of the fangirls go crazy). You can't imagine and me also, can't believe how much i'm willing to spend money on this stuff.

overall, the concert was the best as usual...Arashi never let their fans down, always give the best when they also receive more...give and take isn't it?..(^^)
the opening was impressive and i'm a little bit touched with the video presentation (?) of their album history for the whole 10 years (1999-2009). It made me think "wooaahhh...they'd came a long way"

Opening song "Kansha Kangenki Ame Arashi"..i'm not a big fan of this song but its cool how they perform it with the flying things and a real wind blow to their clothes, hair and all...its really gives a 'thank you' message...

I always disagree with the fact that Matsujun is a singer because i see him more as a performer due to many reasons (which i know you know why). But during the 'We Can Make It', i kinda love his intro voice. Maybe it made me calm down a little after the hectic 'lucky Man'.

A little Juntoshi moment enough to create a big reaction...

the 'Horizon-Dangan Liner-Allergy' medley was cute. I have to admit that i never heard the songs before even i know bout their existence but it surprisingly good especially for Horizon.

Allergy was really cute with the vegetables' set like the good old days..

My most favorite part was during the 'Everything-Hitomy no Naka no Galaxy-Aozora Pedal-Typhoon Generation' medley. and I believe most of those who watched the concert also feel the same. Its really good. I mean, it gave the soothing effect for the whole concert. I'm glad they sang full version of Everything and made it a little like acoustic style at the beginning with the beautiful background screen. Its wonderful how they create the background and it made me focus on it more than Arashi.

The changing of screen color together with the chorus during Aozora Pedal was really beautiful. Aozora has always be my favorite song ever (because it represnts Sho) but kinda disappointed they didn't sang the full version so I can hear sho's voice like in AAA 2008. One thing besides the background-thingy was the music arrangements which a little different than the original one and I like the concert's better. Not only during this medley but also for their solo, I totally love it!

Hitomi no naka...Ohmiya duo anyone..??

That's very brave of you, Sakurai Sho. You put up a good act for someone who hates being on high place very much. During Hadashi no Mirai. They can't move a lot..safety first...But still, compared to Sho, Aiba done more body gestures..^^

Unlike the concerts before, they sang the song represents the drama they acted in as their solo performance. If I have to rank them, I definitely choose Nino's Kotoba Yori but now I'm hesitated between Aiba's Pikaanchi. Both were good. Aiba with his great dancing and soldier-like music's impact and Nino with his coolness in guitar contributed to rock-style of the song.

This expression alone make it a really high point for him. I see Aiba-chan as a totally different person here. His dancing is the best!It is a must-see performance ever!

Nino with his guitar and not a fake one! He's a composer afterall...Among all the Arashi members, I found Nino the least attractive but here, he was the one attract me most. Also don't know the real reason but i guess its got something to do with the hair or the clothes or the guitar. Simple but great, which I didn't found in other members' solo performances..

Ohno's solo was the most no-alteration at all. Just the usual Kumorinochi Kaisei except he was super cute on the Uta no Oniisan's costume. Yes, he was 29 year old but age is just a number right...please continue to be the most adorable person in Arashi

double screencaps for Ohno. He's riida afterall. The cutest stage ever and i have the trouble to replay his solo all over again because my 2 years little sister is a big fan of him, plus an attractive stage like a definitely 2 years kid cannot resist.

Nothing special for Sho's solo except the hip-hop style of Tomadoinagara. With clothes like that, he looks like a teenager who like to show off dancing in the middle of nowhere.

Arashi is a smart group. They know their limit. With the suitability of their voices to only some songs, they manage to produce a really good combination. Sho with a stiff voice choose to do hip-hop style and Jun with nasal voice tried to go for Broadway style (?) and it works, for both of them. They are not a non-versatile singer, just that to give the best performance they'd figure a good way. Not that they didn't sang other genre throughout the whole 2h concert.

Many complaints for his jazz/broadway style for wish and I also didn't expect much from him but what surprise me was the song turned to be the most entertaining one. From the body movements, dancers and even the stage turned to be theater-like performance. His step was very sharp along with the dancers and used every parts of his body to move accordingly. As expected from Matsumoto-sama.

Ashita no Kioku was a really good moment to share together. They showed the Arashi since baby until the early of their debut time. Since this was about the 10th anniversary celebration, there're plenty of track-back memories in their songs and pictures.


After Ashita no kioku, there're a little like history of what they'd done for the past 10 years as Arashi and also in their individual works. With the slow version of Ashita no kioku music, the talk really gives an 'otsukaresama' effect.


Then, the last part before they go encore was starting with the infamous transparent outfit. I heard many stories about the legend of the clothes but watching it in a real situation was way too amusing. And oh, they dance in full spirit, same like when they first appear as Arashi in tv but, i hope more like butt-touching session where they done this thing to Ohno (and i bet he likes it)

Ok..i'm really tired for doing this and wish to go for a good time with old clips of D no Arashi but must finish it first. So, from here on, just pictures describing the last moments...

Hanabi (Fireworks) from above the kokuritsu..Its really something..I am really glad to be their fan...

At first, I was really sad when sakura sake was not listed. But realizing my mistake then, I was very happy reflected by their tension. Its good to sing Sakura Sake in full spirit as we move near to the ending.

I planned to attach the videos of Aiba's solo and Everything-Typhoon Generation medley but I can't found it anymore on youtube. It has been removed by some Japan video association (related to Johnnys' stuffs I guess) so, lets respect it. Being a good fan I am, appreciate all the other fans' hardwork to produce the best for fans like me. I can't help anything related to the production so this is the only way I can do it. By respecting the rules and not hotlinking or redistribute any of their works to public. All the pictures taken were my own collection, from my own DVD and although I have plenty of their cut version of every songs, I decided to not uploaded it here because I AM ARASHI FAN. And being their fan means you must be a good girl....
