_REPORT______________________________________________________________

ACT 1
They entered the stage with "Surf in USA" in the background.

BANANA MOMENT
When Kaz saw them Hyde said "sorry, we made a little joke" He hold out the banana toward KAZ. KAZ "you surpirsed me~ Stop it". He took the banana and bite it, then he threw it at the fans.

HYDE MC after SEASON'S CALL
Hyde "Okinawa-! Final! Final!!"
Hyde:"After....there's not after. It's the last, let's burn!!!"
Hyde:"It's pretty hot, uh. Mah, it's because I told not to rain. Today it's the end, so let me have fun. Is that ok? Is it? IS IT???????
Hyde:"In 3 songs it'll be over though"
Fans:"Ehhhhh-----!!!!!"
Hyde:"Are you having fun? Are you?"
Hyde:" Tears don't suit you" "Laugh!"

This was the end of act 1, obviously fans didn't know it so they didn't quite get it until they saw the staff changing the set and FURUTON came out wearing a yukata.

ACT 2
FURUTON MC
Furuton:"Hey, it's sooo hot! Okinawa........it rained until a moment ago.Kaneko Sensei in Kyoto..." He talked about the yukata and he was holding a fan with the kanji /matsuri,festival on it. He talked about several other things about the tour, like playing billiard or the loser at Jankenpon having to kiss as penalty. Then he did an old gag "Here is Okinawa? Naha, naha.naha!"

YUKATA MOMENT
As said in the diary they were all wearing the yukata, Hyde's had skulls on it, Kaz snake, Furuton crows, Jin bats and Hiroki guns. Hyde also wearing a hat. All the yukata were a gift by Kaneko Sensei that asked what they wanted on it

HYDE MC Before ACOUSTIC
Hyde: pointing at the yukata "Isn't it beautiful?" Then he said that they thought of repeating the acoustic street live they did in Kagoshima.

ACOUSTIC MOMENT
Furuton was playing the bongo and Jin the piano.Shallow Sleep was sung in Japanese. Hyde for Shallow Sleep or Horizon forgot the lyric and the fans went on singing for him. Hyde had a water bottle put on the floor but the chair was too tall and he couldn't get down so he asked the staff the water.

Then at last it was just Hyde and Jin on stage and Hyde introduced the song.
Hyde:"I thought of singing this song that I hear so much this summer"
Shonen Jidai / Childhood days/time (by Inoue Yosui)

Ele note: Now the blogger reports it was moving, and this is something I found in all the reports. There's also a cover of this song by Hikaru Utada, by readin the lyric is quite nostalgic and even the original is very cute. By listening ot it you can imagine how emotional it must have been hearing Hyde singing it in an open space with just the piano and his voice.

ACT 3
The Christ backdrop was put on stage.

HYDE MC before DOLLY
Hyde:"This is a long night~~~there's still to go! Get ready!!!!
Hyde:"....What's hub jellyfish? Does it hurt? Is it mortal?"
Hyde:"It was written on a signborad......it hurts (he firmly looked at his left little finger).....if it stings you......?"

JIN MC before I CAN FEEL
Jin:"Everybody good evening~"
Jin:"I'm the wearer of the mask, Jin Saito"
Jin:"When I'm not wearing the mask I breath easily, but I feel more calm with it. Actually though it seems like I'm only banging my head I'm playing the keyboard. Today to connect with the next song, I'll try to play brilliantly Jesus Christ.
PIANO SOLO

HIROKI MC before COUNTDOWN
Hiroki:"Okinawa~ Are you having fun? You watching from there, you seem to (laugh)"
Hiroki:"We are also having fun~~"
Hiroki:"Since we are doing our best, you do it as well!!!!"
Hiroki:"This place in Okinawa, it's near the sea, the soul is free, the best condition! Get crazy!!!!!!
Hiroki:"Let's go, get crazy--------------!!""
Hiroki:"Let's countdown! From 666!!!"

The drum start rolling. The countdown was in Japanese
Hiroki:"666" "665" "664" "663" "662" "661" "660" "13"
Hiroki:"Jump!"

GUITAR BATTLE MOMENT
Hyde was on the left of the stage, Kaz on the right.

Ele note: even in reports is described as in the diary, I think the better way to imagine it, is to think of that movie, where there's a benjo 'battle' between a child and an adult? Damn, I can't remember the name now, but something like that.

KAZ MC before LUCY
He sat down on the floor with his leg crossed holding the mike with both hands like a girl.
Kaz:"Are you having fun? Really?......The song isn't started yet? (he turned back to look) The stars are beautiful (noise from the fans) ....eh, you can't see them? I'm the only one seeing them?Beautiful"
He thanked the staff, members, the fans that came to the lives.
Kaz:"As for the members, for all that it feels bad, kissing was fine/we are good friends"

Ele note: most reports write members get on each other so well.

While Kaz was saying this, Hyde got nearer and kissed him on the right cheek......only he didn't quite kissed him, almost everybody report that there's a little distance.

Kaz:"If it were you(fans), I think you wouldn't wash?........I won't either (big laugh)"
Kaz:"I was blessed with great members and staff, I could planFAITH tour."
Kaz:"Thanks to Hyde for making these dates so easy to handle."
He bowed his head toward Hyde.

GLAMOROUS SKY
He got wrong the whole of the lyric, He started singing it an octave under the original, then he said "Hey, don't sleep" and he raised it back. In the chorus the song goes pretty high, he managed but he also commented "The key is high! My head hurts!"

HYDE MC before UNEXPECTED
Hyde:"I wanna thank everybody! The members, thanks!"
Hyde:"What I enjoyed the most was touring, I'm happy, maybe I enjoyed too much? But it feels good. Thanks to the staff for support in all these dates.
Hyde:"Arigato!"
Hyde:"Whatever happens, I love you!"
Hyde:Let's meet again!!"

UNEXPECTED
All the members joined the chorus. Int he middle of the song Hyde pointed up as he was directing the voice toward the universe, everybody sang toward the sky.

THE END
As Manager Fa reported, they all have a champagne bottle, they poured it on the fans, to the point that Hiroki was left without a drop to drink. Then Furuton rode Hyde on his shoulder while Hyde sprinkled champagne.
