3/29 AKB48 Concert at Kokuritsu Yukirin News Roundup

On March 29th, AKB48 held their own concert at National Olympic Stadium (Kokuritsu). I woke up at 3am (EST) to keep track of this concert. I am an AKB48 fan afterall. The excitement of an AKB48 only concert at Kokuristu prevented me from getting any sleep prior to the start. I wanted to catch a few hours of sleep but that didn’t really happen. The setlist was amazing. It was a very Team heavy setlist and very few MCs. With the new Teams set to take effect soon, it was nice of them to do it this way. An AKB48 only concert meant they could perform songs that rarely gets done at concerts. It was refreshing see performances of these songs!! The concert featured acrobats and lots of fireworks too.  Yukirin had her hair up as a ponytail, she always look great in that so I’m glad she decided to set her hair that way.  During both opening of the concert and UZA, Yukirin was wired up, hanging and flying in the air.  Yukirin plus Yuko, Takamina, Mayu & Paruru were in the air during Juuryoku Sympathy.  On Yukirin’s blog, she mentioned that she flipped around 4 times while in the air.  During UZA, Yukirin was hanging within a cube along with Yui, Yuko, Takamina and Mayu in the air. Setlist of Songs that Yukirin Appeared In: 01. Korogaru Ishi ni Nare 02. First Rabbit 03. Aitakatta 04. Everyday, Kachuusha 05. Juuryoku Sympathy 06. Idol no Yoake (Umeda Team B) 07. Shonichi (Umeda Team B) 08. Yobisute Fantasy (Umeda Team B) 18. Mae Shika Mukanee 19. GIVE ME FIVE! 27. Senaka kara Dakishimeta (Oshima Yuko,Watanabe Mayu, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kojima Haruna, Takahashi Minami, Minegishi Minami, Yokoyama Yui ) 28. Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka? (Oshima Yuko,Watanabe Mayu, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kojima Haruna, Takahashi Minami, Minegishi Minami, Yokoyama Yui ) 29. AKB Festival 30. Hikoukigumo MC#2: Kashiwagi Yuki, Kitahara Rie, Kojima Mako, Nishino Miki, Okada Nana 36. Honest Man (Umeda Team B) 37. Bokutachi no Kamihikouki (Umeda Team B) 42. UZA 43. Tenohira ga Kataru Koto 44.

Yukirin 3rd Solo Live Unofficial Album

So how many times have you watched the concert? Watching the concert on the big screen is amazing, all those Yukirin darumas! Much like the first 2 concerts, I have done a blu-ray audio rip. I’ve been listening to it non-stop, driving to and from work and at work! It keeps my tension high! hahaha. The concert had really good song transitions which made it hard to cut and edit the songs to be standalone songs. I’m not that satisfy with some of the editing of some songs but if you’re interesting in my version, it will be available at the usual place and here. Reminder, these songs are edited to be standalone songs. Includes all 26 songs plus two music interludes for anyone interested. ALSO! 5 songs from Yukirin’s 3rd Solo Live are OFFICIALLY available on Itunes, support Yukirin by purchasing these songs (especially if you have a JP Itunes account). It’s only 450￥ for all 5 songs!!!!  Link to Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/bai-mu-you-ji-3rd-sororaibu/id834197606?l=en...

It was the 3rd Anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake. Just like what they have been doing each month, AKB48 participated in special lives to bring some joy to residents that were affected by the disaster. AKB48 were split into four teams, with some members from each SKE, NMB & HKT also joining each group and took part in a special live and greets in Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima Prefectures and at the AKB48 Theatre. Yukirin was part of the group, with 15 other members, that went to the Iwate Prefecture, specifically, in the small Town of Taro within the City of Miyako. It was a cold day but approximately 400 people were at the special live.
