Happiness comes in a package

.. from Japan!


The UVERworld concert DVDs arrived in one week, and what a hell of a week it was for me waiting for them to arrive! :P I visited Pos Malaysia's website everyday just to track my package!

Glad to see that the DVDs were packed in a sturdy box and sealed very neatly - the DVDs were bubble-wrapped and wrapped with another layer of paper.


ありがとうございます、CDJAPAN! You made my first purchasing experience a good one!

DISCORD emotional performance

ENDING MONDO PIECE was played after the band left the stage on the screen monitor, with the lyrics and photos of the band flashing, I see fans crying, cause the lyrics are really sweet :')

Special - Backstage invitation interviews, preparation leading up to the concert, and scenes backstage after the concert. Takuya∞ hugged all the other members - Akira, Nobuto, Seika (although he's like not officially a member, but I feel he should just be! Or maybe there's a reason why he's not, but he's been with them so looooong), when he got to Shintarou you can see he started crying and when he got to Katsuya leaderさん, I think he just lost it

I've watched both, I can't decide which I like more! The band is really awesome on stage and Takuya∞'s voice is just so amazing. There's a lot of improvement since their debut, so I think this is a band worth following.

I'm going to try to catch their 2012 tour next year. Hope they'll announce ASAP so that I can book the flight tickets and get someone who know Japanese to help me purchase the ticket. I really wanna hear CORE PRIDE live! And of course I wanna sing along to CHANCE! And NO.1 is a must! So that I can sing along to "love love love love psychic"

*prays hard that next year's plan will happen*
