Especially this year there is a concert too…

Yes and it is a concert that I went to also on 20th Feb 2011 in Saitama. Yes it is けいおん！！ライブイベント～Come with Me!!～!! ( K-ON!! Come with Me !! )

That is the front of the Disc cover. Now to show the back of the cover…

Side view of the Blu-ray which is the first press release ….

Well that is the overall of the disc…. Wait… As for what comes with the Blu-ray 1st press released ? Well, it is a booklet with pictures from the live event and comments of each seiyuus are written in there.

Okay let’s go ….
When playing the disc 1 ( Oh I forgot to mentioned that both Blu-ray and DVD have 2 discs for this ), there is an opening of each character with their hand making out the words “Come with me ” As each character says their own alphabet. So it goes like C-O-M-E W-I-T-H M-E and end off with them saying together “Come with me” Then will be the event hall with the Audience as usual. ** Point to take note of: There is an option of the “Omake” in the disc for disc one only to play and they will show about 4 minutes before the opening / starting of the concert where the intro music was stopped and the Audience was like “Oooh…” But then the music continue with another track…. So you get to see what happened minutes before the concert start.

As the music goes off, the chime of the school goes off and the Audience goes cheering and standing up, the music plays and each character is being introduced in the big screen of the stage and everyone was like cheering when each characters are introduced… As you can see UO’s being used for this and everyone calling “Hey! Hey!” following the music right before the members enter into the concert area and preparing ….

Then the 1st song of the concert….
・GO!GO!MANIAC
The opening song for the anime and also what a great way to start the concert also with the burst of the fireworks above as the song start… Then you see a lot of people in the Audience with Light stick and shouting Hai! Hai! with the song at certain part of the song…. Same goes for me back then.

・Listen!!
The ending song for the anime… came as a follow up after the opening … Everyone just keep on cheering and jumping ….

Then follow by a short break with the short intro of the 5 members. Then the exit of the members to the back stage…..

・Oh My ギー太!! (Oh My Gi-ta !! [Guitar])
As the stage darkens and then the light shone on the two guitarist… 1st up ! Yui! With her character song as you can see Ultra red this time for this song. With Yui’s voice and Aki-san’s dress is a match for this song indeed.

Then follow by a sole Keyboard….. then follow by the pink and lovely Minako-san who voice as Mugi in the anime.. With her singing the lovely song and the outfit follow by the sea of Ultra Pink… Why would you not follow….
・Over the Starlight
Then back to the two guitarist before the intro of Ayana-san who is the voice of Azusa, appeared in the center of the top stairs singing before walking down later in the part of the song. This time round Sea of Green light sticks….

After the end of Ayana’s song, the 4 members came out to greet the Audience and then follow by Ayana back to join them. After a few moments, Aki callled the other members out as she said today there are not only the 5 of us… Came in Madoka-san who voice for Ui and Fujito-san ,who wore a similiar specs of Nodoka, and they also introduced the first timer to join them at the concert Yoriko-san who voice as Jun Suzuki…. Then follow by the enterance of Sanada Asami-san who voice as Sawako-sensei in the series.

After which Aki-san said there is a special guest also which is their Director of the series who came in to introduce the upcoing Movie of K-ON! in 3rd of December 2011… Which the seiyuu-sans called it 1.2.3 K-on! After which, they take their exit and left Ui to sing her character song.

・ウキウキNew! My Way (UKi UKi New! My Way)
As the songs goes, you can see UOs and The cute outfit of Madoka-san singing and dancing to the song. So cute …. !!
・純情Bomber!! (Jun Jyou Bomber !!)
Then came Yoriko-san with Jun’s character song and the Audience of blue light stick.
・Jump
Then last but not least with this list for now is the character song for Nodoka !! Sea of Ultra green light stick …. Fujito-san ! You’ve improved….

Then the diming of the lights and the show of characters in the big screen. A short sketch of the anime characters chatting away to search for a place for their everyday training. Then they came to a row of doors which they chose one to open and the countdown of 3,2,1 and the lights and the screen just blackout.

Then out of the sudden a light shone towards the left middle of the arena and the K-ON girls just appeared out commenting the lots of people and walkign towards the center stage! In case you are wondering…. They just appeared out of the stage and went into the stage in the center of the arena. in which also means the audience in the middle block of the arena’s seat became a close up A block seat!! The Audience went crazy but they still stay at they block watching them.

・いちごパフェが止まらない ( Ichigo PaFe Ga To Ma Ra Nai)
Then follow by the starting of their “Practise” song. The Audience turns more crazy then ever and cheer….
・ときめきシュガー ( ToKi MeKi Sugar )
Then Follow by this song… You can still sense the Audience cheering as the song goes on.

Before the start of the next song, The seiyuus choose each side of the Audience and claimed the cheer as they ask for one. So basically each one choose one corner and they call out and the Audience at that area response back with a “Ooh!” AS each corner is taken, leaving Ritsu with no corner to take, hence she said being the Head of the club she claim all the areas under her and everyone shouted “Oooh!” from every corner…

・Honey sweet tea time
Then follow by the sweet song… Of course cheering never stops as the Audience are high.
・ごはんはおかず (GoHan wa OKaSu)
Last but not least, before the song starts. Ritsu ask them for Tea-break but then Yui said she wants Rice which is also known as “Go-han” Then came this song. As there are some parts of the song where the Audience will call Atsu,atsu.. and 1.2.3.4.Go-han ( Ichi,ni,san,shi,Go-ha-n! ) Follow the call and you will also find it fun.

Then the leaving of the members as they move away from the stage leaving the arena with darkness as they moved away.

Then follow by some sounds and the music breaks out as the stage is split open with the enterance of a certain band….
Yea! That’s right ! Death Devil !!
・Maddy Candy
Then the starting of this song which appeared in the first concert. This time round with another seiyuu. Asakawa Yuu-san and the band of “Death Devil”!! With Ultra Purple !!!
・ラヴ (Rabu = love)
Before the song starts, Catherine and Christina are talking about the response of the Audience as too soft… Then after that just before they start, Asami-san said “いいねェ…好きだぜ…愛してるぜ… Iine…Sukidase… Aishiteru…” (Okay, like you, I love you… ) Then Follow by this awesome song first played in the concert !!

As the death devil make their exit as the light fade out. There is a short sketch again for the K-on club members with Ui, Nodoka and Jun. The sketch are funny at some parts e.g. there is a part where Nodoka ask them what are they doing and they said they are just playing around and then she replied that she is returning back the the Student community and she actualyl wanted to leave but they asked her to stay back and “seat down” …. Then follow by Sawako-sensei and her friend Christina to see the club… Then the both of them turn to their “devil” mode and then Christina “shouted” at the members but then it turn out to be a joke…. -.-’

Then sawako-san and the rest of the members saying that they wanted to see them practise…. In which the rest of the characters left leaving the 5 members preparing… Why are they preparing in this case is because they actually have to play the instruments and perform… !!

Disc Two !!!
・ぴゅあぴゅあはーと（生演奏）(PyuA PyuA Ha-To {Live Perfomance} )
Then as Satomi-san do the count and they start the performance which the name announced by Yoko-san earlier. Though here and there there are a bit of mistake, but I would say they did their best there….
・U&I（生演奏）(U&I {Live Performance})
Then after a short chat, Aki-san announced the name of this song and follow by the Openign of UO once again by the Audience !! A very nice song !!! And touching also as you can hear it live….

Then when they finished U&I, they announced that the next song would not be played by them and asked the staff for assistance. Then a short video screen shots of them in the episode after they have their last Performance in school in their final year, which they curled up each other and cried and fell asleep.
・天使にふれたよ！(TenShi Ni FuReTaYo!)
Follow straight after that, the four members came out to sing this wonderful piece of song. Satomi-san sung her part until she cried a bit. Then Ayana-san came out after being called out by Aki-san after the song. Seeing that she have tears in her eyes, she jokingly said Ayana-san is like Azusa in the anime at the last episode after hearing this song.
・ふわふわ時間（生演奏）(FuWa FuWa Tai-Mu {Live Performance})
Follow which they came out and said this is the last song …. With the Audience going “Eeeeh….. ” After which thye played this song and of course the Audience went all out also with the call back of ふわふわ時間 ! ふわふわ時間 ! …

As the song ended, the members made their exit to the back stage…

Encore
・NO Thank You!
After a series of “Encore! Encore!” from the Audience , the members came out again with this song to thanks the Audience for the encore call. Then as you can see UOs are out again for this song.
・Utauyo!! MIRACLE
Then follow by this opening song ( 2nd opening for the anime K-on!!) UOs again !! Yeah !!If you see carefully, maybe you will see a few people turning around following the melody … Cause back then I got two guys doing it in front of me at the live…. I salute them…

Once again after that, they made their exit once again into the back stage.

Double Encore

Then follow by the exit of the members …. And thought it is the end ? No… Not without the theme song… The Audience called “Moikai!” again and mixed called ….

Encore 3
・桜が丘女子高等学校校歌 (SaKuRa Ga OKa Jyo Shi Kou Tou Ga KouKou Ka)
Then as the stage came up again with light blue lighting shining at the stage. Then came with this song which is the school song. As you hear there is a complete slient when the song is being played and piano played live by Asami Sanada … And Audience was like Oooh….. Then as the song goes, the Audience joined in the song and you can hear the whole hall of Audience singing together with the seiyuus. Very nice and touching… really like what they said, feels like their Graduation ceremony.
・Come with Me!!
Last but not least…. ! Before the song is being sung, the intro of the band members at the stage for the songs and each one of them have to give thanks and how they feel. Then came this song ! This soong is sung by ten person at the concert where the Audience went high and everyone too…. After which the ribbons are bursted out to the Audience ….

After which they end the Show with credits….. and the omake… Well, the usual stuff with a bit more…

After thought:-
As I have the first live DVD but I didn’t get to attend the first live, I felt that it is good. And this time round, I am glad that I am able to attend the second live with is this and hence making it special and the first ever Blu-ray disc I ever bought even thought I do not have a player yet…. LoL hahaha…. But nevertheless, I felt that the seiyuus have grown better than the first concert that I saw on DVD. And a few surprises even after I watch this.

Last but not least Thanks to the Performers and Staff that made it possible as well as not forgetting the Audiences there.

Well it have been some time since I updated the blog again …. Ooops… Well All hope is not lost yet…..

Well, the things I am going to post today is well, old stuff which makes me like the title above says ” A Happy Person :3″ Found some “old stuff” as some might called it that I wanted for a long time. Not to wait any longer, I shall reveal it out.

1st up

This is a semi transparent cell poster. If those that follow my blog from the start will know that this is the picture I used for the title of my blog…. Glad to have found this. Yeah ! D.U.P.!!!

2nd up..

This is another same type of semi transparent Poster. In case you are wondering what or which picture came from, it is from the Wonder Party Solution CD cover which is the CD that I am still looking for. Glad to have this picture … Dejiko….

3rd up…

Well not exactly Digi Charat stuff but she is Shirayuki from Sister Princess, my Favourite Character. Glad to have this poster also.

In case you are wondering why did I show these out when I have then for a ‘long time’, well, I didn’t have them for that long yet. Because one of the shops that I frequent happened to move to a new location and they took down these display and then I finally lay my hands on them. Yatta!!! Thank you…

Last but not least, I got another thing recently and will be doing a review on it soon as long as my Television works…. -.-’

Yes! They are K-on Live Come with me DVD and Blu-ray….will be doign a review on them once I watch it. And also to some friends who are going to the land of the rising sun today. Have they have Fun !!

As I am kinda busy nowadays and doing other stuff, tend to forget about this site …. But nevertheless, I will still be here.

Right today I am going to do a post on this Blu-ray…..

Nope this Blu-ray is not out yet. But I went for the live this year on 20th Feb. It is one of the best concert that I have ever attended so far. Will be getting this Blu-ray version and DVD version if there is one. Then after which I might do a review on it.

Will be looking forward to see this version and feel touched again. There is currently a first press release version which includes a 128 full colour page as the description says. So will you intend to get the 1st press release ? There rest is still the same except the 120 full colour booklet that comes with it.

Of course I believe this song will be in….. and many more.

And after another few more days after the last post on Asane’s Career anniversary post…. There is one more person to comment on also… Yes… She is none other than …. Hikami Kyōko (氷上 恭子).

Yes, other than Asami-san and Miyuki-san of Digi charat cast on that day, Kyoko-san is the female MC on that event also. Which also was introduced as Rabi-en Rose which is Dejiko’s Rival at a later date. But on that day, the design of Rabi-en rose was released on that day as Dejiko’s rival in the anime.

She is a veteran in terms of seiyuu as compared to Asami-san or Miyuki-san. Her career as seiyuu starts even before Digi charat. She was the female lead role for one animation called “Legend of Love Angels, Wedding Peach.” As she is the ‘U’ member for D.U.P, she contributed also a large role in making Digi Charat a good anime. I was surprised when I found out that she is a veteran and voiced in many others anime before. Thought I never see her recently in any works now. Wishing her also the best in whatever she is doing.

Today I am going to continue from the post I made two days back. She might be forgotten or missed out even…. She is one of the contestants back in 1999 for Dejiko’s seiyuu but ended up getting another critical role in the Digi charat series…. She is Sawashiro Miyuki (沢城 みゆき).

Yes, in that contest, she won not second but a special award for having an outstanding performance. After that when Digi Charat series started she act as Puchiko, who is the younger sister of Dejiko, also at around the same time she voice as Mint Blancmanche from galaxy angel. She also voiced as her own role in digi charat in english dub… Really took me by surprised.

Puchiko ( Spicy little girl yet so cute … )

Mint Blancmanche ( The mind reader and …. )

As her careers goes on, she voice for other roles like Shinku from Rozen Maiden, Canaan and other roles. Given the awrad recently for the most popular overseas fans seiyuu award. Her hard work and her unique ever-changing voice let her deserve a good award. Let’s look forward to see her in future roles.

Keep up the good work there.
