Tegomass no Mahou

[_Aya_]

I downloaded this concert to see the cheerleader!Yuuko. I got the documentary and the encore but after I watched both I decided "what the heck?!" and watched the concert itself. Thus I made another huge-ass post. Nothing new here.

The Concert

I knew like 2 of their songs so it was a very blank page for me. I didn't really know what to expect. Well, most songs were pretty average but nothing that sounded annoying. There were a few though that caught my attention. Yukidaruma is pretty good. Also that really jazzy song, Wasuremono. Sakura Girl sounded pretty good compared to the original version. Highway was fucking badass and I love the dancing.

I absolutely loved the "city" song. I dunno who made up the lyrics but it was incredibly sweet to make a song for every town they played in. And the Yokohama song even got the proper arrangement.

MOAR

The thing that really impressed me was that they actually had a live band. And a really amazing one at that. Wasuremono sounded awesome. Tegoshi also played acoustic guitar. I'm not sure if that can even be called proper playing, he just strummed a bit but still. The stage was really cool too. I really liked the setup and all the special effects.

Tegoshi looked really fab and very hydish in both appearance and moves. Masuda was fucking hilarious. I mean, seriously. I could not watch the ballads. Just looking at him makes me laugh. I thought Nao was the funniest person on Earth but now I'm not sure. By the way, what's with the banana, Massu?

Yuuko also made an appearance in Yokohama. Actually, that was probably the most blatant fanservice. The two of them didn't really do much except for the final pose which is funny since Tegoshi gives Massu that pointed look "this is where you hug me and the fangirls scream".

Massu's outfits. End of comment.

It was sweet that the other two came to watch. Also at the end of the final concert Yuya cried. He looks pretty even when crying. I'm not ok with this.

The Documentary

I also watched the documentary to Tegomass no Mahou. I watched it just because I though it'd be a waste not to since I already had it but it turned out pretty interesting.

Above all it really changed my perception of Tegoshi. I thought he was a cute pampered kid, but I saw that when it comes to work he's really serious and hard-working. I was really impressed how mature he seemed. The boys were really nice to all of the staff and the band. It was really cute how Massu was going round giving out snacks to everyone. I was also surprised that the tour was mainly aimed at small cities. I mean I've never even heard of some. And it didn't end at Tokyo but at Nagoya I think.

Tegoshi once said he has no sense of style. You fucking liar. He's, like, one of the most stylish artists I've see. Backstage that is. He totally ripped Hyde's style but it actually looks better on him. I also loved his white stage outfit. It was dazzling.

I think Tegomass is a good unit. You can tell there a big gap in their vocal abilities. Massu looks like he's in pain when he sings, he's putting his all while Tegoshi barely sweats. The bastard also can hit all the high notes with ease. I'd love to see him do songs that challenge his skills and show his true potential. But apparently he prefers team sports.




All in all I really enjoyed the concert. 2 more to check out.

Alex_Cale, Well, hello there!

And 4!News is ten thousand times better than any other quantity:3

I thought that was an unpopular opinion but I agree. They're a good unit.

This is so freaking amazing to see that you, with your background, like him

I don't see why that is surprising. What about my background? Well, it;'s true that I'm more of a rock person but I was a TVXQ fan for damn 4 years. That's because when it comes to bands I always get in for the people rather than the music. Currently I have about 13 GB worth of NEWS TV shows on my HD and 0 NEWS songs. And Tegoshi's just really fucking amazing. There you go.

In other news, the years's almost over but we haven't met once.
