This was another Zepp venue and it looked *exactly* the same as the one in Fukuoka on the inside, which created a weird sense of deja vu. The whole night I kept thinking of glitches in the Matrix and stuff like that. This show was also high energy and the guys didn't want to leave the stage and at the end of the encore they did a cover of "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" which is a personal favorite of mine, so that was totally rockin'!!!!!

 Venue - Zepp Osaka -
Dogstar came to my home town Osaka.The air in the venue was strained which was different from the other venue. I felt something hot and rockin.After a short blackout to set the stage,Keanu and Rob and Bret appear on the stage.

If possible,please listen "Alarming.

After Bret's beginning Rob beated his drums and at the moment Keanu's base entered,the audience began sequential clapping and calling "! Hey ! Hey ! Hey". This beginning of "Alarming" was heartthrob.The players and audience "played" perfectly in tune with each other. The sound effect were very wonderful,Bret's guitar and Rob's Drum and Keanu's base ,all sounds were harmonious and clapping and shouting of the audience in the hall put enthusiasm into the other audience who did not know Dogstar music.

I and Midori(I met first in the venue in Fukuoka) were 1st row in front of Bret's Microphone,and we clapped and called. This "Alarming" was played faster than in your CD.But I love this "Alarming"

3rd piece was "Halo".Since Yokohama show,many fans got used to call "Halo". when first "Halo" calling by the audience happened,Keanu chuckled to Bret and the audience.Their smile were so cute that we had felt heat up and beat up.

Bret and Keanu and Rob were surprised at our rockin'.In MC Bret says "This tour is special for us with our family.Thank you for help me"(Perhaps)

4th was Wound."Wound" is not in "happy ending".but we kept rockin!

5th was CornerStore,here this made us cool down,and we lost our rockin.But Keanu gestured for us to clap above our head.

6th was ENEMIES.We began Rockin and were so heat that we could not hear Bret's MC.。

7th was YOU WORLD.This piece is not in "happy ending".but many Japanese fans love this piece.And I like the last powerful phrase "Hold me the last now...."

And SUPERSTAR.Not only clapping we began singing this song with Bret.

9th was STAGGER."Go Go Go Go!".At the beginning of powerful phrase we shouted! This "Stagger" was very cool and grew up to another "Stagger"

For small break someone in right side threw a stuffed strawberry,On it some message,Keanu read it.and he didn't understand this messages and threw it toward to audience. (After show I heared that the messages was written to Bret by the girls whose name Bret had called in Akasaka).Then I were aware of Daniel(Japanese pop character) in front of Rob's Drum

After 10th ,HONESTY ANYWAY someone threw a staffed "Hello Kitty"(Japanese pop character) with a small paper fan.Fanning with it Bret says "Hello! Kitty" and for thinking for a few minutes.He made "Kitty" to bow toward Keanu and Rob,And Keanu and Rob responeded and bowed "Hello Kitty".The audience was very pleased with their instant performance.

And a small trouble happened.My friend Midori tried to threw a towel toward Bret.But She dropped it down on floor and made a fuss. And she was disappointed and said "He will not use this towel". But this topic is continued.


11.BREATHE TONIGHT

12.GOODBYE

In yokohama show there was some MC,but Dogstar continued the song "Goodby".when this piece was finished, Midori threw her towel toward to Bret.And He wiped his neck.She jumped for joy and shouted "Thanks"! And Bret smelled the towel and say "It's cleanist and sweetest....."and sang "My sweetist"(perhaps) in ad lib. Bret! you are nice guy!! You were aware of her disappointment,weren't you?.Only this show I could listen his ad lib. and Rob's drum solo entered.Rob's drum was very great.It was the extreme performance! Dogstar grew up to powerful music artist! I was ready to cry.

And the performance ended.In MC "when I am very busy,I will be drowned" and Rob responeded "Oh Baby" and they played "SWIM" and "A Dreamtime" Audience and player were Rock'n roll perfectly and we rocked beat up and heat up.

And the last is "DENIAL".I think all audience was standing,and calling and clapping so Rockin' Roll.Player and audience influenced each other.

For the first time I heared Rob's comment "Thanks".

At Encore Bret came back again early. and he played "32 stories".and Pink Froyed cover "Wish you were here". This acoustic pieces fascinated all audience.This piece was finished and Rob and Keanu came back to play "Washington" and cool down the venue.

The last song was "Blown Away".in the venue it became hot suddenly.audience was clapping and calling and dancing.

I memorized their set list,and I knew the last song,but I didn't want to leave the venue and I shouted "Once more please!" unconsciously. I don't know they could hear my shouting,but Keanu gestured toward to Bret and they talked about something with rocking.

And incredibly Bret said "Thanks to Keanu we'll play the last song"(perhaps) and Keanu said "You are welcome" and they played "Rockin' Free World" I was too exciting to think anything.I and my friends appreciated you to play this piece in Osaka.We shouted and shouted "People Rockin Free World".

and the last Bret shouted "Rockin' Free OSAKAAAA!!!!"

After show many people rushed into cd booth by Towerrecoeds and they were entirely sold.

I will remember the show forever and write report.I wish I were in this night again.Thanks for reading.
