Lining up for the concert, everyone in line could clearly hear the sound check and rehearsal, which was really cool...people in the pack ticket line found a small spot in one of the windows where you could see the stage, caught a quick glimpse of the girls but security closed the curtain before much of anything happened. There was also a security guy (in suit and tie, no less w) who kept opening a door into the venue near the other line, everybody would scream and cheer and then he'd close the door and give everybody a big thumbs up. Pretty funny, I thought. Lots of cameras and whatnot getting footage of the crowd as well.
The concert itself was fucking incredible, managed to get a front row seat payout for the pack ticket was so worth it ;___; and it blew AX's concert out of the water. Highlights included singing happy birthday to Sayu (Japanese wota and our Mexican friend promoted the crap out of a special "birthday plan" to sing to her right after her introduction in the opening MC - went without a hitch, she seemed so happy~) and Yuko getting teary-eyed as the entire audience sang along to the earlier MM songs she chose during her bit. Not to say this is a new thing, but you can really feel the love the fans have for the girls with things like that, really moving stuff...
Setlist was basically PikaPika with a few tweaks, which made me happy as I listened to the PikaPika concert recordings a lot and had become familiar with the setlist. The crowd was pretty wild...surprisingly most everyone had a decent grasp on the chants, etc, which really made for a good concert experience. So exhausted by the time it was done...

Need to get to bed right now, will likely post reports for Saturday and Sunday tomorrow night~
