TRIBAL ARIVALL Vol.100 Backstage Report
*THE TOKYO HIGH BLACK
THE TOKYO HIGH BLACK made their debut during this event. The vocalist MUSASABY was considered the head honcho, and the staff called him 'MUSASABY-senpai (先輩; sir)'. As soon as their performance was over, MUSASABY immediately checked the live photos. MUSASABY-senpai sure doesn't waste any time!!
There was a TV screen showing a live feed of the things going on onstage. While MUSASABY was checking the photos, Takeru was MCing up on the stage. MUSASABY responded to Takeru's comments out loud...
Takeru: Our song has become the title theme song for (the TV variety show) 'あらびき団 / Arabikidan'!
MUSASABY: Really!? I'm definitely going to watch!
Takeru: We will perform a concert at Shibuya C.C.Lemon Hall!
MUSASABY: Yeah!
Takeru: I really don't care if Chiyu-kun wants to become a comedian or not. But please make sure to come to C.C.Lemon Hall!
MUSASABY: Is one of the SuG members a comedian?
Although he was looking at the computer screen, MUSASABY's attention was focused on Takeru. But that didn't stop him from working!
Here's a photo of a cool MUSASABY. He's merrily receiving an interview with foreign media! The most notable phrases he used were 'No, nice night!' and 'Just do it!'
*SCREW
Many kinds of food were being served at the catering booth next to the dressing room. But the SCREW members only went there a handful of times! You could often see the SCREW members waking straight past the booth. (Jin never even glanced at it!) Are they eating properly? You need to have a proper diet!
While wondering about the members' eating habits, I took a peek inside their room and found them having fun. Jin on the other hand was all set and even wearing his costume. Most other members prefer to wear casual clothes until right before their performance, but Jin looked perfect even when he was backstage. But...just once, I did see him forget to take his jacket (laugh).
Manabu was wandering around the corridor while looking at something held in his hand. Look in front of you or you'll bump into somebody!
SCREW was the second band to perform that day following THE TOKYO HIGH BLACK. They abruptly ran into some trouble with their stage equipment. Byo talked to the fans while waiting for it to be fixed. Unfortunately they had to cancel one of the songs they had planned to play. Despite that accident the members each did their best. After the performance finished, they immediately headed for the backstage area from the right hand side of the stage. Byo and Jin promptly helped the staff carry the drums!! Yasuno (Kra) saw them. With a 'Yasuno smile' on his face, he walked towards Byo, patted his shoulder and said "Good work!" It showed how much Yasuno loved his younger fellow artists...it nearly moved me to tears!
After leaving the stage Rui came towards me with a cute smile of his own and said "Thank you for coming!" I'm kicking myself for forgetting to take a picture!
*ViViD
When it was about time for ViViD to go onstage, Reno left the dressing room and sat down on the stairs, then turned all his attention towards practicing the guitar...The stairs were right next to the dressing room's entrance, so whenever I visited the backstage area I was surprised to see Reno-kun sitting there. But when he walked past the catering booth, he became interested in the confectioneries. Along with Ryoga he helped himself to some strawberry tarts. The way he picked up the tarts with his bare hands looked very manly (even though he was eating strawberry tarts!).
Iv was leaning back on a chair placed in a corner of the dressing room. He looked a bit sleepy. At first I thought he must be tired from waking up early. But the next minute he became very energetic and headed out into the corridors shouting "Hey!" and hugged Yuji. What was he talking about with Yuji?
Ko-ki went to the catering booth with a spoon in his mouth. He had a choice of either beef curry or Thai curry, but he looked undecided...Just at that moment Chiyu walked by, so Ko-ki asked him "Is the Thai curry spicy?" Though he was suddenly asked by Ko-ki, Chiyu immediately answered "It's not that spicy." He then went inside the dressing room.
*SuG
We filmed a video comment with Takeru, but while he was commenting I was locked out of the room! I could hear the cheery laughter of the members, and was a bit sad I couldn't join them. When they seemed to be finished, I hurriedly went inside. I nearly ran into Takeru, who left the room after making a slight bow towards me. He soon came back laughing embarrassedly. "I forgot my jacket!" The reason he returned was to take his jacket that he left on a chair.
All of a sudden 3 people wearing schoolgirl uniforms appeared with another person wearing a suit. I wondered who they were and went towards them for a better look. The people wearing the uniforms turned out to be Takeru, Yuji and Iv (ViViD)! Chiyu was the one clad in a suit. They had formed a one-off group called 'PSC48 (PS COMPANY's version of the idol group AKB48). So Takeru, Yuji and Iv had become idols! Chiyu was supposed to be their manager. He was giving the 'girls' some advice so that they will be a 'big hit'. "When you're asked 'What do you think of your fans?' you must answer "They're like our fathers to us!'" Chiyu continued to make a host of dubious suggestions...had it been a good idea to hire Chiyu? (laugh)
Onstage the fans voted for their favorite member. Despite the coaching from Chiyu, Yuji ended up taking 3rd place ...After the 3 members came back to the dressing room they laughed and said "It's finally over!" It must have been an embarrassing moment for them!
Alice Nine
When entering the dressing room Hiroto immediately and energetically exchanged pleasantries with the staff. Hiroto could be seen all around the venue in friendly conversation with the staff members. But he never failed to bring his guitar along with him!! That really impressed me, and I think it was one example of how he was a dyed-in-the-wool guitarist.
Nao was out in the corridor talking with the costume coordinator; but without wearing any shirt or jacket! It probably was a rare experience to see Nao without his costume! Saga was close by. Maybe the rhythm section members are always together.
Afterwards Saga made everyone laugh during a funny incident. musicJAPANplus filmed 2 video comments that day, and Saga showed up during the filming of 1 of them. The only problem was that for that day we weren't planning to film Saga or his band. One of the staff told him "Saga-kun, we're not filming you today!" Saga left the dressing room with a wry smile. "I thought Alice Nine was going to do a video comment!" I sure would have liked Alice Nine to appear as well! We promise we'll include Alice Nine next time!
In the corridor Shou was seriously discussing something with the costume coordinator. Unfortunately I can't reveal the details of their top secret conversation; all I can tell you is that they were talking about their costumes. The way Shou was sticking just his head out of the door and fiddling the accessories of their costumes made him look like a cute critter. Later he joined Tora inside the dressing room to have a chat with the ViViD members! You could hear their laughter even from outside. What were they talking about?
Kra
Keiyuh seemed to be even busier than usual. From time to time I also saw someone clad in a black costume just like Keiyuh's. Who was it? For the whole day Keiyuh was appearing and disappearing in all sorts of locations! I also found him sitting and staring intently at a piece of paper. Was he going over the event's schedule?
Yasuno was inside the dressing room and trying to get to know more about the dancers who performed with Kra. He was talking with them about their costumes. One of the dancers asked "How did you draw the painting on your head?" Yasuno said that he first drew the shapes of the illustrations with eyeliner, and then filled them in with colors. He said he had his own special way of doing it.
While wandering around the dressing room I saw Mai!! Before that, I had looked for him everywhere backstage but couldn't find him! Where had he been? Later on, when it was time for a photo shoot, Mai was the last one to show up! He has a knack for making unexpected disappearances, and backstage you could often hear the staff calling "Mai!"
Similar to Mai, Yuhra often went missing too. Inside the dressing room, he joined a group of artists that were younger than him. When it was time for the photo shoot he struck up a friendly conversation with fellow bassist Chiyu. Nobody can be sure where he was during all other hours (laugh).
the GazettE (Aoi)
Aoi appeared as a special guest during the performance by Kra. He surprised everyone by appearing backstage before noon. Since the rehearsals began in the afternoon, he soon found he had nothing to do. "I'm bored." "I've got nowhere else to go." He ventured into the dressing room wearing casual clothes. He had a pair of sunglasses and was clad in chic grey clothing. It made him look very mature and great!! He peered outside by bending the blind curtains with his fingers. It made Aoi-san look like a real police detective!
Aoi apparently kept himself busy by visiting a host of other locations. After donning his costume and putting on his makeup, he went to the guitar tuning room. Since he was going to play Kra songs, he meticulously checked and rechecked. Aoi performed the Kra song 'ブリキの旗 / Buriki no Hata' and the GazettE song 'LINDA -candydive Pinky heaven-'. The moment he was lit up by the spotlight the fans' cheers were more like screams!
Backstage the bands' members each showed a side of themselves that were a bit different from when they were performing onstage.
Next are some behind-the-scenes stories about the filming of the video comments. Misaki will take it from here.
[THE TOKYO HIGH BLACK]
THE TOKYO HIGH BLACK gathered for the filming!! But Tomorrow Joe and MON-MARSHY were nowhere to be seen...The other members looked around while saying "Maybe they won't come. Why not begin without them? (laugh)" The playful banter showed how close the members were to each other!!
Eventually all the members arrived. Right before the filming MUSASABY asked the members "How should we comment?" They soon reached a conclusion. "Well...let's act as if we're really bored (laugh)." Watch the video comment and see how they acted!!
Special Session Band
This band* is a special session band created based on votes from fans. We had the members of this band comment as well. This was the first and last time to see the members together; a really rare sight! Before filming the comment the members discussed who should be the 'main host'. Yasuno and Takeru simultaneously pointed their fingers at each other. Everyone burst out laughing! Who in the end became the 'main host'?
The members themselves said that they each had been surprised to hear that they had been chosen to become part of the special band. Iv especially had something nagging him. It was the other members, and Iv said "This is almost like bullying." What was he talking about? Take a guess!
In addition, although a part of members' names have been revealed, please guess who are the rest of them?!
How would it look like with all the members? Find the answer in the upcoming video!
Please look forward!
*The name of the band will be revealed with the release of the video!
