MC highlights:
Nao: (listing the food he ate before the live) Ramen… Tsukemen… Nao ikemen!!! (a gag by the Japanese comedia Kano Eikou)
Tora sang once again for the fans. This time, he did “FANTASY” as if Cell from DragonBall Z was singing it. He then sang a song by Fukuyama Masaharu (that’s actually a cover of another artist) called Sakurazaka (click to hear)
Hiroto: Wow, I see nothing but faces out there.
Shou: There are 4000 eyes looking at Hiroto.
Shou: A lot of things happened during those 5 years, but you stuck with us through it all. I think we ought to be the place where everyone can come back to. We’ll never let you go.
After the last encore, the five members bowed down as the curtain dropped and the lights went out. Everyone watched as they announced the new single, new summer-fall tour and finale at the Budoukan. These last words appeared on the screen (in English):
“I’ll be with you.”
The next episode of Alice9 Channel to be aired on NicoNico Douga will be on April 19 (mon) at 11pm Japan time. As usual, the hour-long program will be hosted by Tora and Hiroto and Saga will appear as guests. Don’t miss it!
