So, it came! Yokohama is the last fo the Arena lives. I also wanted to brace, so for the first time in this tour I wore a suits. JIN told me "It suits you" I felt embarassed.

Yesterday, Hyde wanted to practice guitar in the dressing room, while doing at the same time an inspection of the arena. He played, ate, made JIN's mask. Come to think of it, he was in the place until the turning of the date. I guess he didn't want any regrets, he wanted to give a great live for everybody so that he felt had to go to this place today.

The day of the live, as usual when they reached the hall, the members got ready in silence. At the main entrance there were many flowers delivered. At the goods shop, there was a long queue, and many fans were near the entrance before the door open. (Note - The goods shop was the next to the entrance.) Hyde is really loved by many people.

The ones who won the lottery of "Hydee's Mints", I wanted to see their happy faces so I went the entrance to look them. I was just in time to meet a girl who holds the SILVER TICKET! I took her memory photo.

When the live started, well this was certainly the biggest place of the tour! The fans energy was impressive, even the cheers weren't fragmented! So, well determined, HYDE BAND felt more powerful than usual!! I watched the whole tour till today and Hyde's words "We are here to finish it", communicated that spirit.

Then the stage. The centre was made to look like a catholic church with a stand glass. Long before, meeting after meeting, we struggled to create that set. Up to the song, the images change, the backdrop, passing images, showing the members. The arena perfomance was to be a more enhanced production, so I wonder if it was a shock for people used to the simplicity of the livehouse seeing the transfiguration of the stage? Today while waiting in the backstage for the live final stage, Hyde all of a sudden said "I'll undress to show more spirit" and took off the shirt! The moment he appeared on stage, the hall resounded of cheers together with screams, Hyde threw water bottles to fans. It was sexy~. The first day ended safely, tomorrow will have a good last arena day. I'm already tensed about what sort of live will be.
