Court of ''9'' #4 Grand Finale COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012 12.31

Though we'd already seen 4 clips from the concert it wasn't exactly new but Alice Nine DVDs don't come out every year so I should write about it.

My evaluation system for concerts is simple but complex. Setlist+Costumes+Shou's look+Fanservice+General atmosphere

The setlist was pretty good. Although in was technically the '9' tour they didn't play all of the songs from it. There were some great songs but also some very whatever songs. The Dead School Screaming got me pretty annoyed. My favorites were Scarlet and Akai Kazaguruma. Also seeing Akatsuki live for the first time was good. And then there was Hello, World. Even though you can't really hear Shou's guitar it looks pretty cool. And Kiss Me Deadly, coz it's so sexy.



The costumes were so-so. Pretty good compared to some of the shit they were wearing but quite lacking. Everyone still looked great though.



As for Shou I didn't especially like the way he looked here. It's not that he didn't look good, just something was missing. I don't know what it was. For some reason I'm very bothered by his lenses. I screencapped the shit out of Discoteque and Vandalizm but didn't make that many screens here screens here. Except for Scarlet and Kiss Me Deadly. Those are so sexay. He also looked very confident and cool but at this point that is a given.



And Tora... it might be the hair but he looks really big here. And really sassy. I like his sass but I think lately he's been oversassing. Again, I just don't know. He was still col though.



The fanservice was very disappointing. I mean there were cute parts but in short: way too much Shou/Hiroto and Tora/Saga. According to someone there was even a moment when Shou kissed Tora's temple but the bastards cut it off dammit!



Other: The background video was really good but I don't really get why they thought it would be a good idea to put it on DVD. I'm sure everyone would prefer some backstage footage. But the thing that kinda ruined this concert for me is the lack of an ending. Subete he and then... blackout. Where's all the running round, hugging each other, throwing stuff into the audience, where's The jump, dammit?

General rating: Average-Good. I dunno, the concert just didn't click with me although some parts were really good.
