Good God I don't get how you like this.

ETA: one of the live chat comment captured it well. "All of Japan are 6 year olds?"

Minus the broad brush painting of entire nation that's actually what I was starting to think.

Shades!!! That was crazy amazing! Was that one number Electroworld? The costumes...Shade's they look like ethereal beings....it's 93 degrees in Tokyo...and the dancing in Party Maker was FIERCE. I didn't expect it!

That stadium? It's HUGE. That was GREAT!!!

I need to go brush my teeth.

Well, that was incredible. 21 minutes was livestreamed, so that's good. The live stream cut out just as Perfume was starting to perform "Fusion." So, clearly their portion of the festival is still going locally, whereas it's over for us at home.

Anyway, it must be very hot there right now, 'cause when they came onstage they were visibly sweating just a little bit. I've never, ever seen them break a sweat before except just barely during one YouTube video, once.

Since Tokyo is both their hometown and the place where the festival is being held--A-chan, Nocchi, and Kashiyuka probably had a shorter commute time than any other act at the festival--they clearly had the "home field advantage." The fans were CLEARLY there for Perfume. HOLY COW were they energized.

Honorentheos: How dare you. Did you not see the shots of all the audience members? How many 6 year-olds did you see?

Holy cow, look at the size of that crowd.

What's the max capacity on that stadium? Huge!
