Backstreet Boys- Saitama Super Arena-October 11, 2013
Last Friday evening after school, I went to Saitama Super Arena for the Backstreet Boys concert. I found out about the concert rather late, but I wanted to go to the show so I bought a ticket for the Friday night show. (The Saturday and Sunday shows were sold out.)
So, I didn't get there that quickly. But, the arena was no where near full and they actually started the show a bit late because of it. A lot of the people came late, I assume because it was a work day.
I found out some lovely things from going to this show. The new album, some of the songs were written by the guys. I jumped around, screamed, sang along as loud as I could...
The most exciting part was that they played old songs as well as some of their new songs. They also performed some songs a Capella, which was beautiful.
I also learned that Brian is the silly, ridiculous one in the band. He came out on stage a few times to do things (tell the audience things etc.) he just looked sheepish and giggled. It was quite strange, but considering that I have been listening to Backstreet Boys since their inception, I know essentially nothing about them as people... Which is unfortunate, but there's no way around it now.
So in conclusion...
It was lovely. I basically adored it. It was totally worth all the money I spent on the ticket+taking the shinkansen two times in one day.
(Also I have been watching Vlog Brothers ...constantly? For a few days. So I'm going to start using DFTBA, which means "Don't forget to be awesome.")
So DFTBA!
