Fan Recaps and Comments:

Review by Naoyuki, from the tmbg.org fan mailing list:

Hello There!

"They" played in Tokyo on 1st and 2nd April, and I went to both shows. I don't remember correctly what songs "they" played on the first day, however the setlist for the second day is unforgotten because I got a setlist sheet which "they" had actually used after the show. [...] And what was more exiting, I succeeded in meeting and talking with "them" directly after the show on the first day.

At first, I was waiting for "them" to appear at the back entrace, and when John L appeared, I talked to him:

Mr. Me : "Excuse me, but..."

Mr. Linell : "Sorry, but I've gotta go now."

Then, Graham and Dan appeared. Of course I said HI to them and shook hands with them.

I kept on waiting for John F, but he didn't appear. After a while, I made up my mind to give up and to go home. However, when I was passing by a certain place near "QUATTORO", where "they" played on the first day, I saw all of "them" gathering. There was not a soul but "them" and a few staff members there. I opened the door and talked to "them". I asked all of "them" to sign on the back of the case (correctly speaking, on the sheet under the case) of the CD set _THEN_. It seemed that "they" had never seen _THEN_ itself before I showed it to "them", and we discussed the design of the jacket. John F told me that the back of the booklet should be illustrating the battle between England and Spain. I told him that a Japanese letter called "ka" appeared on the jacket and the face of the booklet. Everybody there seemed to be interested in "ka", and actually, John L wrote "ka" beside his sign.

Also, I had wrote a lyric to be called "Japanese #3" (i.e.: a Japanese version of the song "Number Three") before the show, and asked John F to sing it on the following day. However, he answered that it was too difficult.

After all, I spent about thirteen minutes there, and I found "they" were all awfully kind and really friendly. If I had been much better at speaking English, I could have talked about a lot more things with "them". However, I'm completely happy to have talked with "them"...

Cheers!
