It was the final day of the tour. I was on the sixth row of Arena A1 (from Yui-chan’s side).
The live started almost just as planned. First they started with Maeyamada (Hyadain)’s songs PUPPY LOVE!! and WAKE UP!!. The way they started it… I was surprised that it didn’t have any differences with the Nagoya setlist… (^^;) No, I didn’t think about something like that at all. Maybe because of the complications of the choreography and such, YuiKaori won’t change their setlist that much.

——–
The first MC.

Y: Everyone, konbanmiru~!
Y: It’s so spacious~!
K: It looks so different with people in it, compared to when we were doing our rehearsal, huh?
Y: It’s amazi~ng!!
K: It feels like we’re attending Anisama, right? (laughs)
Y: It’s the first time for a YuiKaori live to have the arena seats. I can see everyone so clearly~! At last, we are on the final day of the tour.

Fans: E~~~~~h!!!

Y: Do you still want us to continue it?? (laugh) We really want to do it too, but we can’t keep the venue so it will be difficult. We did a live in Nagoya and Osaka too. How was it, Carrie-san?

K: When the day came, it felt like ‘It’s finally the day, huh~,’ soon it ended and I enjoyed both of them. Today, I don’t feel like it’s the final day, but it’s the biggest venue in YuiKaori’s history, so I’ve been so nervous since the rehearsals. I couldn’t control my anxiousness. Although Yui-chan didn’t seem to be that nervous.

Y: I was restless!

K: You looked surprisingly calm.

Y: I feel nervous too~!! I’m really happy that a great number of YuiKaori fans can assemble here today! I think it will be nice if we can return the favor to everyone who have been supporting us.

K: That’s right. Everyone can’t imagine the view you can see from here, right? I won’t allow you to climb here, though (laughs) The pink and blue penlights are filling up the venue. I can’t feel happier than now.

Y: It was really empty during rehearsal, but I’m glad that a lot of people could enter this venue.

——–
Y: It’s already December. This year, it will end soon. How was this whole year, Carrie-san?

K: Do you mean, if I have something that I didn’t do in 2014? I wonder if I have one~?

Y: I felt like we’ve always been together as YuiKaori this whole year. We had news coverage and rehearsal on January, Live on February, and we had a single on March (I think it was LUCKY DUCKY!!’s recording, which released on April). Something like that.

K: The one that left an impression to me was when we were allowed to appear on MUSIC JAPAN!!

Y: Aah~! It was a nice memory, wasn’t it~?

K: The view on that day was similar with now, it was reassuring~

Y:  I miss my uniform. I usually go to work after school. Up to now, I’ve been wearing my uniform to work, but now I’m just using my casual clothes. My co-workers tells me ‘Huh? You aren’t wearing your uniform today? How rare~’ I think I will put ‘Go to Disneyland while wearing a uniform’ as my target for next year. Let’s go together, Carrie-san!

K: I- I will go~! (^^;)
Y: Let’s go!! Let’s go!!

——–
After a quite long MC, they got back to the song corner.
Up until now it has always been HEARTBEAT ga Tomaranai!, now they changed it to Shooting☆Smile. And they were also firing the bazooka which was used during “Our Steady Boy” in the previous ones.

——–
[Pajama Party Corner]
This time it’s ‘Party Twister Challenge’.
The rule is if they can hold until 8 turns, they will get a wonderful present.

Let’s get to the challenge without delay.
The staff turned the roulette,  and they will give instructions based on the colors and which body parts they should put on it. On the first turn, when Kaori-chan was instructed to ‘right leg up in the air’, Kaori-chan kept  putting her right leg up in the air. She was considerably persistent, but because she couldn’t hold it, they failed the challenge.

Y: One more time! One more time!! One more time!!!

With the encouragement by Yui-chan, the staff went ‘It’s special, because it’s a party, okay!’ and the rule changed. It’s okay if both of them can hold until 5 turns.

They finally cleared the challenge on the second time! Both of them get a ‘Massage Coupon’. Please heal up after you forced yourself during Twister, okay (lol)

Just the otaku being an otaku who went in panic the moment they heard about Twister.

It really made a commotion, after all. I was one of them, who went too excited and honestly I didn’t really remember what happened. But I will stop writing on this part, the highlight is when they were doing the impossible stance, especially their hip lines. ←
That, and it wasn’t going to be like everyone expected, YuiKaori didn’t lie on top of another. Hmm~ Too bad. But it was a good footage where you can see the strength of their torso.

——–
After the footage ended, it was solo corner.
The MC right after she sang Tinkling Smile.

Y: The venue became all pink. It’s really pretty I’m moved by it. Nonetheless, I feel really happy. Recently the winter which I really like is finally coming. I’m really happy everyday! Because I like the cold weather. I want to take a little questionnaire, is it okay? For everyone who prefers winter, raise your hand!

(The fans raised their hands)

Y: For everyone who prefers summer, raise your hand!

(The fans raised their hands)

It seemed because Yui-chan said that she prefers winter before, there were more people who said they prefer winter.

Y: Even though I thought there will be more people who preferred summer…! And then you will say ‘It’s not like that!’ and I could tell you the good things about winter~! I should change my plan~! (*_*)

I’ve always liked winter since long time ago. Because you wouldn’t need to rely on air conditioner and such, also in winter you can wear extra clothes when you feel cold and you will still be okay.
But I can’t stand the sunlight and the heat in summer no matter what.

Y: Well then, I think I will talk about the good things about winter. The very first reason why I really like winter is because I like when I open entrance doors and it goes *whoosh~* (she made a gesture of the wind blowing to the bottom of her neck). Because it’s only your face that’s uncovered… Do you know this feeling?

It seems to Yui-chan who has a high body temperature, she found that the wind blowing to the bottom of her neck feels good. But then I thought ‘Isn’t it the thing that Kaori-chan really hate…’  (^^;)

Y: The second reason is the food. When you are talking about winter, it means hot pot!

Fans: Motsunabe~?

Y: Motsunabe? I’m sorry, I’m not very good with motsu. I like kimchi hot pot. I’m not good with spicy food, but I can eat kimchi hot pot! It’s such a bless when you can eat something warm, isn’t it?

Oh? But if you can eat doteni, wouldn’t you be okay eating Motsunabe as well…???

Y: The third reason is because the winter sports are fun! Such as skiing and skating. When I was still in elementary school, I always took the advanced course in skiing every week. But recently the adult are like ‘It’s dangerous so you shouldn’t do it!’ so I couldn’t slide. If everyone said ‘I want to see you ski!’, maybe I will get the permission for it??

Fans: We want to see it~!!!

Y: I feel really happy that I can tell everyone the good things about winter (´ω｀)

Then it continued with Hatsukoi Maze *sugar time ver., during the interlude, there was a big heart on the huge screen that was in unison with Yui-chan’s movements.  It’s a really common thing but it looked like a magic. At last, until the moment she thrown a kiss, it felt like you are under a really, really sweet magic (*´∀｀*)

——–
The soft pink atmosphere completely changed into blue. It’s Kaori-chan’s solo.

The MC right after she sang Sunny Ray Beam!!.

K: Well~ Everyone’s movement during Sunny Ray Beam!! was really splendid~!! By the way, I got angry because of one thing. During Yui-chan’s MC before this, there were just a few people who prefer summer, right? All of you were converted~! (maybe she wanted to  say ‘won-over’?) Who prefers summer??

Fans: Yee~~~s!!! (Almost all of them changed sides to liking summer)

K: You all are really simple, huh~!

——–
K: By the way, this is Makuhari, right? There is something I want to ask, are there any people from Chiba prefecture~? That’s more than I expected! I can finally make a triumphant return! Everyone~ I’m back~!

Fans: Welcome back~!!

K: On our radio, we got some mails about Gunma and Chiba materials. From all of those mails, there was one about ‘Gyoukan Yasumi¹’, which only the people from Chiba prefecture know about.

The people who said ‘gyoukan yasumi’? were they really the people from Chiba?
There are some people who used ‘gyoukan yasumi’, but it seems that people outside Chiba prefecture are using it, too. I’m using it, too.

K: Oh well. If you have that kind of material again, please send it to MiRaji. By the way Chiba prefecture has a mascot named Chiba-kun, right? Recently there was a Mascot Grandprix, and Gunma-chan from Gunma prefecture won the first place. It’s a mascot from where Ogura Yui-chan was born. But you know, Chiba-kun was on the 161th place~!

K: During the HEARTBEAT’s (HEARTBEAT ga Tomaranai!) MV shoot, there was a poster there. I knew about Chiba-kun’s existence from that poster. I thought ‘What is this dog?’.
Because he was on the 161th place, I want him to do his best even more. I will do my best, too.

The Shiny Blue *Right on! Dream ver. after this was similar to Yui-chan’s turn, Kaori-chan is drawing a rainbow on the screen. On that moment, the venue turned like you’re being enveloped under the clear sky, with a refreshing atmosphere. Yui-chan was a heart, while Kaori-chan was a rainbow. I think it was a good direction which matched their personality.

——–
[PARTY PRESENT’s Corner]

They searched for the presents at LOFT².

★The conversation when they were searching on the kitchen’s corner on 3F.

Y: You know, I’m good at cooking yellowtail teriyaki. How about Carrie-san? Can you make it?

K: Of course I can~ (cries)
★If I’m not mistaken, this was the conversation when Kaori-chan could answer how to use Banana Mamoru-kun³ (uncertain…).

Y: Carrie-san has become more clever, hasn’t she ♡

K: Somehow you kept treating me like a fool this whole day!

I was laughing over that conversation (lol)
It’s been a while since the last time I saw Yui-chan who acted like a bully towards Kaori-chan.

After that they were trying to wear apron, but then Yui-chan said “Stop~ If I wear this, I will totally look like a kindergartener~!” And just as she said, she perfectly looked like a kindergartener, it makes you want to put a kindergarten cap on her head.

Then they finally chose one thing, the photo frames which they didn’t touch at all. Because this time the venue was big, they were being generous! Five people got the presents.

When I thought that it would be okay if they just gave the aprons they used, but then I bet the next day you will see the apron Yui-chan used on the Yahoo Auction, it’s a different story in many ways.

——–
After the footage ended, both of them walked into the runway.

Y: To tell you the truth, we were actually staying over night after Osaka live.

K: We were throwing tantrums.

I knew it. Looking from the time they ended the performance, they couldn’t go back after all (lol)

Y: It’s been a while since the last time we had the permission to stay over. Because we usually didn’t get it~

K: That’s right~ seriously.

Y: Because we had a lot of luggages and it would be troublesome if we took two rooms, we asked for one twin room and we spent time together. In the morning, I was unusually awaken earlier than Carrie-san. When I saw her, her hair curved up it looked like Suneo-kun from Dora*mon (laughs). After that I woke her up, “Carrie-san wake up~! (laughs)”

K: I woke up and put my glasses on to see it, and it had a miraculously ultimate curve.

Y: I took a photo with my phone, and I saw it once again. It’s really horrible.

K: Even though you took it by yourself! (laughs)

Y: Carrie-san always gives me power. I’m such a lucky person ♡

What, it’s just a newly-wed who speaks fondly of each other, isn’t it.

K: Speaking of staying over, we’ve been dragging the staff, “It’s been a while since we went to Osaka, so let’s go to USJ* the next day~” but in the end it was impossible~ Next time when we have a work together in Osaka, we’ll make sure to stop by to USJ⁴. Our ambition is big.

You can just ask them to put Osaka on Saturday for your final day, you know!!

——–
Y: We really ate a lot of imagawayaki during the rehearsal, didn’t we?

K: It was coming during the weekend, right? I was looking forward to it. I like the cream cheese-flavored ones.

Y: I want to become a person who can make imagawayaki.

K: Eh~ But it’s hot when you bake it, you know?

Y: Hmm~ Well then, I will be inside of the store! I will be the one who will eat the leftover imagawayaki! (it’s no longer about being the person who baked it)

K: No, it’s better if you are the one who buys it! I bet you will get bored in a day!!

I’m sure that Yui-chan will bake it nicely, but just like Kaori-chan said, she will get bored easily. So I thought it’ll be a good fortune if she could make one during a home party (^^;)

After that, they sang Futari and Koisuru Stole, we had a VTR and DANCING PARTY.

——–
【DANCING PARTY】

DANCING PARTY is the greatest highlight on this time’s tour. Maybe it’s because I think it will be the last time I can see it, I could watch it as I devour it. I really want this to become a footage as fast as possible~

——–
Then the MC after Attouteki na GO!!.

Y: What about YuiKaori’s best popular phrases?

K: Like ‘super amazing’ or ‘super cool’. We’ve been infected (laughs)

Y: They are our radio’s script writer, Nacchan’s favorite phrases, aren’t they (laughs)

K: We’ve been infected even on the radio we pointed it out (laughs)

Y: I think she hasn’t said them that frequent recently. If we count it from this year’s recordings it might be a lot, though.

K: Also, it might not be recognized, but I have ‘Yuitama’.

Y: Does everyone know about it~? You don’t know about it, right??

K: I’ve been using it modestly though, like ‘You know, Yuitama is~’

Y: Eh~ Somehow it’s embarrassing.

K: Even though it’s cute~!

Fans: Yuitama~!!!

Y: Everyone looks happy (laughs) Eh, what made you started calling me like that?

K: I think it was because I like the tempo when I said ‘Yuitama~’, it comes nicely to me (laughs). It’s my favourite phrase.

Y: Mine won’t come out unless I’m on a high spirit. It’s ‘Re~ally really really’. I said that on this year’s radio because I was too excited. I didn’t say ‘re~ally really really’ ever since that time, though. But since then, people kept on using the word ‘re~ally really really’ on their mails for the radio, I thought that I influenced everyone. I’m happy for that.

——–
Y: It’s really unrelated, but kabedon is re~ally really really popular, isn’t it! If I’m not mistaken, there are many types of kabedon. Such as yuka-don.

Me: ;`;:ﾞ;`(;ﾟ;ж;ﾟ; )BUH—Yuka-don (lololololol) Yui-chan, that’s just a normal pushing down~~~ (lolololol)

I felt that Kaori-chan was somewhat laughing with a bit of embarrassment (lol)
Maybe even Yui-chan thought ‘Oops!’, after that she added “I don’t know such a thing, though” (lol)
I could hold the feeling of wanting to say “You MUST be lying (lololol)”, let’s just say that I’ve been deceived (^_-)-☆

Then it ended up with they were trying to do kabedon. What is this, it’s really the best.

Y: Do your best to make my heart flutter, okay ♡

At that point, it’s needless to say but I felt defeated. Just what kind of person is Ishihara Kaori, who didn’t have a breakdown even after she heard that? Yui-chan personally put her back on the wall, she bent a little to make a height difference.

K: I want to do it smoothly, so I won’t tell you what kind of kabedon I will do.

Ishihara Kaori just said that. ‘Can we see a handsome Carrie-san!?’ I began to ride by myself, but it was very much a usual kabedon. Looks like she only whispered something.

It made Yui-chan blink with surprise.  I mean, she did it overenthusiastically so their face were so close, what is this. Is it just my hallucination??

Y: It’s because you approached me so suddenly~If you do that so suddenly, of course anyone will be surprised.

If you don’t stop at least at ‘ton’ and only did ‘don’, of course people would get surprised (lol) (^^;)
Even Ayase Haruka-san said “I did get surprised but my heart didn’t flutter~” when she got kabe-don in ‘Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu.’ Drama TV.

Next it will be Yui-chan who does the don to Kaori-chan.

“Carrie-san, can you make a spaced out expression?” Yui-chan gave her an instruction. Kaori-chan was standing while spaced out with a really exhausted face that makes you want to say “Isn’t it a No Good expression?”

As she said “Carrie-san!”, she took Kaori-chan’s hand and pushed her alongside the wall, she did the kabedon. Kaori-chan was completely spaced out so it seems she didn’t understand what has happened. After that, Yui-chan held her head and said “Waah~ It’s a failure~ (>_<)”

Starting from here, it’s just my imagination.

It’s about Kaori-chan who made a mistake and did a Pacifico Yokohama version during Birthday Live in August (she went to the edge of the stage and started running). They said that Kaori-chan’s heart fluttered after Yui-chan nonchalantly approached her and took her hand to bring her back to the right position. So perhaps Yui-chan wanted to recall that~, or so I thought.

——–
NEO SIGNALIFE’s MV was revealed for the first time, but I did my best just to see the live’s VTR and YuiKaori on the stage, so I didn’t watch it properly (^^;)

Then it continued with Our Steady Boy, the rail cars appeared!

The first time I came to my seat, the passage near the seat wasn’t big enough for the rail cars to pass. So I thought there is no way they will use rail cars, but this is a pleasant miscalculation! Because I sat on Yui-chan’s side, Yui-chan went near to my seat. Because she stopped up for the people on the left aisle seat, I was able to see her closely. She went closer so I think it’s even closer than if you sit on the front row.
When their rail cars crossed each other, they grasped each other’s hand (hi-touch?), it was really nice, wasn’t it (*^_^*)

——–
The MC after LUCKY DUCKY!!

Y: With this tour, I feel like we were able to make our feelings connect with each one of you. Were we able to repay some of your love for us? It’s been 5 years since YuiKaori formed, until now a lot of things happened. I can’t believe that we reached the point where we can have a lot of people coming for us like this. With a lot of chances with fate, I felt really happy that we could connect with everyone. These feelings from now on, I will treasure it. I think that it has become a warm tour, as long as we were able to reach out to everyone with energy and courage.

K: Now that I think about it again, doing a live is really nice. I did my best with all of my might for this tour. I’m happy if this tour becomes a tour  that everyone could enjoy. This is the first time I’ve ever rode a railcar, I was able to see everyone all the way in the back as they did their best to waved their hands at me. This tour has been about everyone giving their all to cheer for us. Because everyone is here that’s why we were able to do a great live tour. I am really grateful to all of you. Let’s do this again next time!

Y: Of course!!
K: Of course. Will everyone come and see us??

Fans: We will!!!!!

The encore ended with two songs without any changes. There was no double encore or any news.

With their “Thank you very much~!!”, YuiKaori LIVE TOUR HEARTY PARTY!! closed the curtain.

——–
I participated in all of the lives.

I think this tour’s highlight was the dance.

They had the DANCING PARTY VTR and NEO SIGNALIFE, which were the cool type dance, maybe to reconfirm that their weapon is their dance. It was a challenge over a new type of dance. So I think they showed it to us and led to their self-confidence.
They were really lively. They learned another one thing, the way they could show their techniques, I think they’ve grown up.

And then about Nininbaori, Twister, and else. I could precisely understand what they wanted to show, the evil intentions (?) of the editors of the King Record staff.

Thank you very much as always! I could enjoy YuiKaori’s charm to the fulllest from every video!!

Because both of them gave me a lot of smiles, I can’t do anything but to smile when I tried to recall it again. It was a really nice tour which you could enjoy with all of your might.
Let’s do it again next time, okay!!!

That’s all for Chiba live report.
