NKDS

What ticket? All I need is this. No pics of the one from the first day though.

Don’t think I’ll be doing a big review like I did last year. I’ll just do a quick run through of the set list with some thoughts and feelings. Photos? Maybe later.

Day one – August 22

1      『残酷な天使のテーゼ』/石川智晶+angela

Wow. That was quite unexpected and would set the tone for the duets to come.

2     『Spiral』/angela
3     『Shangri-La』/angela

Much better than last year. At least Shangri La was recognisable. SIEG ZEON.

4     『F.D.D』/いとうかなこ
5     『追想のディスペア』/いとうかなこ

BOKU JA NAIIIIIIIII.

6     『愛のメディスン　～アニサマバージョン～』/桃井はるこ
7     『WONDER MOMO-i ～World tour version～』/桃井はるこ

F**k yeah, Momoi! Came on stage in Komugi get up. Wonder Momoi was just so fun

8     『マイペース大王』/桃井はるこ+manzo

Woah. These two worked together on some songs a few years back and seeing them together was just great, especially with Momoi on the keytar. Pity she didn’t sing.

9     『溝ノ口太陽族』/manzo
10     『続・溝ノ口太陽族』/manzo

TENTAIIIIII SUNREDOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

11     『Endless Tears…』/彩音
12     『コンプレックス・イマージュ』/彩音

13     『Wonder Wind』/ELISA
14     『ebullient future -アニサマVer-』/ELISA

Mmmmmmmm. Sekushiiiiii.

15     『ココロ』/下田麻美

16     『｢みくみくにしてあげる♪｣【してやんよ】』/初音ミク
17     『ブラック★ロックシューター』/初音ミク

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Seeing Miku on the screen was just fun! She did very well for a first timer. Heh. The Black Rock Shooter PV was just awesome and just screamed SHAFT. And no duet with Asami?

18     『Help me, ERINNNNNN!!』/ビートまりお(COOL&CREATE)

19     『tRANCE』/GRANRODEO
20     『modern strange cowboy』/GRANRODEO

F**k yeah, Kisho and Masaki.

21     『JET!!』～『バニラソルト』/堀江由衣
22     『YAHHO!!』/堀江由衣

Perfume? And pom poms are awesome.

23     『ハッピー☆マテリアル』/堀江由衣+茅原実里

Another unexpected duet pairing. Cue fangirl like squealing from me when they did the title call.

24     『First Pain』/石川智晶
25     『Prototype』/石川智晶

26     『J☆S』/宮野真守
27     『Discovery』/宮野真守

Justin Timberlake. AKA-CHAN GENKI DES KA?

28     『キミシニタモウコトナカレ』/May’n
29     『ダイアモンドクレバス』/May’n

My goodness, Buchou’s Kimi Shinitamō Koto Nakare live has improved tremendously since she performed it on Music Japan a few months back. The simple black jacket and shorts were simply stunning. Diamond Crevasse live never ceases to amaze me. Violins mmmmmmm

30     『ミラクル・アッパーWL』/May’n+奥井雅美

Oh, come on. Who didn’t see this coming. But it was as great as I hoped it to be, from the PV. Srsly, it doesn’t fit a moe blob animu but still awesome nonetheless. AND WHY DIDN’T I BUY THE SINGLE.

31     『空色デイズ』/中川翔子（特別出演）
32     『涙の種、笑顔の花』/中川翔子（特別出演）

I have to admit. I was disappointed. I was hoping for her to devour a cat on stage. That would have been special Shoko-tan got bloody high during Sora-iro days was just running around the stage like a mad woman during the guitar solos. And of course, she took photos during the MC for her blog. Namida no Tane, Egao no Hana was unexpectedly good, judging from the previous song.

33     『WHAT’S UP GUYS?』/栗林みな実+谷山紀章

FINALLY, MINAMI AND KISHOW DUET AGAIN AFTER A LONG HIATUS. THANK YOU ANIMELO. But not a KGNE song… *grumble*

34     『鬼帝の剣』/ALI PROJECT
35     『戦慄の子供たち』/ALI PROJECT
36     『地獄の門』/ALI PROJECT

Alipro means a toilet break.

37     『Voyager train』/茅原実里
38     『Tomorrow’s chance』/茅原実里
39     『Paradise Lost』/茅原実里

Minoriiiiin! Just wow. Shouldn’t have missed her at Daicon. And did she lose weight?

40     『Precious Memories』栗林みな実
41     『涙の理由』/栗林みな実
42     『sympathizer』/栗林みな実

Overdressed Minami was overdressed. Not much flesh this time. More dumpling than last year. Precious Memoriessss. Finally could do the calls for the song. Somehow, seeing the strings on stage made me think of Namida no ryuu and lo and behold it was. AND THANKFULLY SHE TOOK OFF THE JACKET THINGIE FOR SYMPATHIZER, much to the delight of those in front.

43     『Crest of “Z’s”』/JAM Project（影山ヒロノブ、遠藤正明、きただにひろし、奥井雅美、福山芳樹）
44     『守護神-The guardian』/JAM Project（影山ヒロノブ、遠藤正明、きただにひろし、奥井雅美、福山芳樹）

46     『SKILL』/JAM Project（影山ヒロノブ、遠藤正明、きただにひろし、奥井雅美、福山芳樹）

I still cannot believe Senti fell alseep during Gardian and Rescue Fire. MOTTO MOTTO. And man, I got spoiler-ed for Shin Mazinger.

47     『RE:BRIDGE～Return to oneself～』/アニサマ09テーマソング

Woah, ultrabright otagei song. The electric guitar just made this so much better than the original recording.

5     『10 YEARS AFTER』/米倉千尋

6     『そして僕は…』/榊原ゆい

8     『霊喰い』/妖精帝國
9     『last Moment』/妖精帝國
