A-Nation Festival in Ajinomoto Stadium

On Saturday, August 31, 2013, my friends and I went to the A-Nation Music Festival which was held at the Ajinomoto Stadium. This is a music festival held by the record label called "avex" and most of their main singers will perform at this two day music festival.

I was able to go last year and I was able to see one of my favorite K-pop group called Big Bang. It was an amazing experience for me so I was so thrilled last year. But I also wanted to see TVXQ and Super Junior perform last year but couldn't get the tickets for their performance at A-Nation.

But this year, I applied for tickets through my TVXQ, Super Junior and avex music entertainment fan club sites. Luckily I was able to get tickets through my Super Junior membership!! So this would be my third time to see TVXQ and my second time to see Super Junior perform. Actually, my third time to see them since I was able to win a ticket to their CD event the day before at Makuhari Messe Event Hall!! That's another story...

Anyways, we got to the stadium around 5 PM but the even itself started at about 3:30 PM. I was initially disappointed about our seats because I thought it was at the other end of the stadium away from the stage. But actually, my seat was practically next to the stage!! We were in the 2nd row from the front too!! We were so close to the stage that I didn't need my opera glasses this time!!

I got to see my favorite TVXQ up close this time and it was amazing!! I honestly thought I would faint!! I was screaming so loudly and I kept freaking out when they looked this way!! I used to watch those concert footage and think how silly those girls were in them, all screaming and crying... Now I know!! I'm one of them!! Lol!! I now totally know how they feel!! I swear, they were only a few meters away from me but in reality, a whole world away... Yes, smell the coffee and wake up... sigh... sob... sigh... Lol!!

Super Junior performed only 5 songs, 4 of which were in Japanese and the last in Korean. But their MC was in Japanese so that was impressive!! They are always so fun to watch!! Their CD event for their latest CD album called "hero" was held the day before and I could go to that event as well. My seat then was pretty good too so I got to see them all up close two days in a row. I have had a lot of luck with them. I shall be going to their Fan Club event on Friday, September 27th, too!! So looking forward to that. I wonder where my seat will be then...

TVXQ was the final artist to perform at this event. They sang a total of 10 songs (so about a 45 minute performance with MC in between), including their latest song called "SCREAM", the theme song to the newest horror movie called "Sadako (Ring) 2 in 3D". It was an amazing performance as always and what was great is that the three other friends I went with, it was their first time to see them perform live!! It was only on DVD or on Youtube only!! Also, TVXQ rode a trolley around the outskirts of the arena so you can imagine how much closer they were when they passed by!! I'm sure they must have seen us so clearly!!

I shall never forget this day unless I ever get a seat right next to the stage for their performance and I actually make eye contact with them!! Until then, this will forever be my best experience!!

Next up on my K-pop list, Super Junior Fan Club even on Friday, September 27th; SM Town (entertainment company of TVXQ and Super Junior) concert in Tokyo Dome on Saturday, October 26th, and Big Bang concerts in November and December!! Also, a Fan Club meeting for my favorite Korean actor Gong Yoo on Thursday, October 24th and Friday, October 25th. I'm also waiting for the application for the TVXQ Fan Club event to start. That'll be held on Saturday, November 23rd and Sunday, November 24th. I pray I can go to one of them!! Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!
