[Fan] 12.02.18. KARASIA: DAY 1 Fan Account by yooniqda_

Day 1 of Epicness.
Warning: Spoiler Alert!

i can't go into every details here. i'm tired, my mind still disorganized, and some are for my personal keeping ;D
i'm sure some of u already saw pics and fancam too.
and sorry because it's very messy haha

Let's just discuss general thing objectively first.
- It started at 6.20 and run through 3 hours straight without rest, without any guest. maybe the new Boys and Girl Groups from DSP? didn't introduced formally but some of the boys doing some break dancing at the end on the main stage while KARA playing on the front stage
- stage set up, not really interesting. just okey. but a trap door on the center stage are bad. it always moved roughly and the girls always looks like want to fall. esp Gyul after sang her part on Wait, she looks like surprised.
- costume, nice. not too "standard" not too "over".
- music, a lot of them are remixed and it's nicely done. except lupin which we have heard before on 2010 SBS Gayo Daejun.
- Props, alright.
- sound system, it's loud and good, but the mic volumme sometimes a little bit low, esp HamGool's voice are easily drowned by sounds.
- hairstyle. nice. cole's hair looks really much much better. though when i saw it from afar, she always reminds me of 2 other idols. but anyway, that image always erased when i saw her playful side again haha
- VCD nicely done though sometimes a little bit weird haha but it was too long.
- overall, objectively, it's not a bad concert, not an awesome one either. it's just a good one :)

The Bad
- the fans a little bit unorganized. the event (Pretty Girl & Slogan) are not really done well. a lot of people are don't know what to do.
- fanchant are good but it's not that loud on my area.
- imho, a little bit disappointed about lightstick. there are official lighstick (peach), official karasia lightstick (light pink), japan's lightstick (pink), some other who sold on street, and some other weird things with light. ended up, there are no pearl peach ocean. it's a mix of colors.
- ah the normal seats (R and S Seat) are not too filled. even on encore it was noticeable much more emptier.

9 I am… ing - On the bridge part, all of them made a circle on the front stage and facing inward and sang it really well.
10 Gyuri – Dance + Solo song. it was a musical-like songs.
11 Seungyeon – Superstar. she was doing it while pulling a train filled with dolls and throwing it to the audience
12 Nicole – Beat it. Perfect. but on one part, she walked back to the center and tripped a little bit. she surprised and cover her mouth but she continued with it
13 Hara - Secret Love. it's a happy but not too cutesy song. nice.

18 Jiyoung - Jing walk to the front and start playing guitar while singing her solo song. and a little bit accompanied by BGM.
19 Seungyeon - her solo song.. i would define it as a dark-ballad song with touch of Rock. awesome
20 Hara – L.O.V.E + Dance
21 Nicole - Solo song, duet with a trainee i think. it's also more like a lil bit slow accompanied by a great dance. sorry, can't find the proper word for it now.
22 Gyuri – Maria. what else to say? great.
23 SuperGirl! (Norazo's Superman with edited lyrics) - the girls come one by one with wonder woman outfit while singing changed lyrics that teasing each other.

Nicole: jiyoung-a~~~ (stop growing!!)
Jiyoung: nikol-a~~ (stop wearing insoles!)
jiyoung: gyuri-ya~~ (gyurigyurigyruigyuriya! basically she calling gyuri with casual speech)

24 Lonely
25 Winter Magic
26 Honey
27 Jet Coaster Love ~ during one of the part, jing and gool following behind, but when gool touched jing, jing dropped her mic hahaha
28 Dear Kamilia ~ before this, they sat down and talk about their family and about everything. cole said her grandmom came from USA. can't understand SY. jing after that. gool talked and suddenly burst into heavy cry. the last, gyul.
When they started singing, jing started to cried, and GyulHam cried the hardest.
The last part they came together to the front stage.
Hara-Cole-Gyul-Jing-Ham.
GyulHam patting Jing's back and put their hands at jing's waist, cross with each other (gyul standing on jing's left and put her hands on jing's right waist and ham the opposite) comforting her.
Hara run into cole and cole's hugged her, consoled her, and ended it with a KISS on hara's forehead
29 My Darling - sorry, not sure where but i think it's here that all the girls spreaded out. didn't paid attention to cole (something else occupied my mind completely, see below for further explanation). GyulJing took their phones and took selcas with the audience. Ham took a camcorder. Gool took a camcorder that connected to the big screen, what she shot at are shown at the big screen.
30 Mister
31 Pretty Girl - this is the encore, and suddenly cole appeared besides us and reaching to the fans. i was late to realized because i was busy wearing my gloves haha
32 Girl's Be Ambitious
33 Rock U - a really good final song. everyone going crazy, played happily, and sang really loud to "ROCK YOUR BO(DY I) SAY". more explanation below.


Summary:
- first the solo song. imo, all of the Solo Songs are made not to match their usual image, but to match their true music style and personalities and voices. i really loved everyone's songs.
- The girls clearly enjoyed the stage very much. they looks serious on some intense songs, but on the rest, their expressions and their eyes showed it all.
- You can clearly understand it right away, that they are indeed the TRUE KARA that all of us knew. no lies, no fake at all. it's just.... them. esp when u pay attention to them while they didn't singing their part or on happy songs.
- They are indeed a SINGERS. all i can say, they did great. no need more explanations. ah gyul clearly bothered by her voice, but she did well in everything.
- IMPORTANT: all and every each of KARA's pairing are ALIVE and WELL. I REPEAT, ALL and EVERY EACH of KARA's pairing are ALIVE and WELL. sometimes too well that it took a lot of time for me to recover haha anyway, it is not a delusion. u can see the difference between a part-of-perf interaction and the real one.

EPICNESS:
so for those of you who didn't know, KARAHOLIC together with KARA ANGEL made a towel with raden and pim's design http://twitpic.com/8kmxj3
so during the concert i keep on holding the towel and try to show it to the girls everytime they walk pass in front of me.
FIRST. during My Darling (?) hara played with a camcorder. both me and wilson crazily screaming and put it up and showed it to hara. after a while hara turned and shot on our direction. we screamed more loudly and for a while i take a peek at the big center screen (at that time the big screen is behind us) hoping that our towel are caught on screen. guess what? there's no.....one else. HARA ZOOMED IN ON OUR TOWEL!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!! the WHOLE big screen only showing O.U.R T.O.W.E.L! i was so happy and almost cried and i can't think straight after that.

okey next part, ROCK U. the girls enjoyed that part really much. all of them only wear casual clothes and interacting a lot with the audience.
Cole took one of the rubber gloves and wore it. she also took one of the slogan, folded it and kept it.
ColeJing also took some of the fans banner.
at this time, i was going crazy, suddenly after i saw cole playing with the fans banner i thought i need to do something . i try to go as near as possible to the stage and wait for cole to pass by. but after that jing was approaching us and sat in front of us. THEN i throw my towel to her, literally (so sorry, i can't think right at that time) luckily since it's a towel, i flew to her side which at that time, she noticed it (of course, it flew really close to her), TOOK IT, and WORE it over her neck. this is the 2nd time i was going crazy. after a while interacting with fans, she moved and going somewhere else. she did her final thanks with that towel hanging on her neck.
and what made me more happy, the girls throw back some fans' stuff but not our towel. Jing kept it and keep on wearing it until she get to the backstage.
I may paid a lot, i may lost my towel, but at least i know part of me, part of raden and pim, part of us karaholic were kept by her, no matter what did she do with it after she came to the backstage xD

~~
just short one
after the concert we met with withKARA representative and received special pics from them when KARA visit thailand and also a limited edition of Lupin (Thailand edition)

after that we went together to a restaurant, and have a big feast with a lot of Korean and Japanese Kamilia. all of them were really nice. we talked a lot, exchanging merchandise, and it was very enjoyable.
they feel like a family. yet KH's average people looks like much younger than them haha and also a lot of them have business card too and give it to us ^^
we may never met before, we may met for the first time, we may have language barrier, but indeed KARA+Kamilia=1.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for now i will end it here. i may add additional info later, i may not. depends on my memories haha
ah and also, my fave part? of course, without a doubt, BREAK IT :)
