This is continuing from a discussion which shokim had started over at her LJ, about the rumours of Arashi's concert this year being done in acapella so as to save energy and keeping it simple...
I mean it is a wonderful concept, just that I worry for Jun... he will never be able to hit most of the key... T_T ... Aiba might just giggle his way through the entire concert... and Sho... How does one rap in acapella??
Anyway, the news I heard was that the Boys really wanted to do more for the victims - I mean they are so sweet... National Idol and all... So they have decided to donate away most of the budget for their concerts...
Everything will be kept simple...including minimal lighting on stage, mainly candlelights and the illumination from the penlights... Members may have to fondle and grope each alot to make sure that they know where each and everyone is going to be and if their dance positions are correct...
Of course, they would also not be spending money on elaborate costumes...the rumour is that most of the time they will be naked through out most of the concerts... However, but Jun and Aiba have thrown up interesting and creative ideas - like draping/ enveloping/ wearing coloured bedsheets on themselves...
It was said that minimal costume/clothing thing was endorsed by Sho, and Nino. They felt that since they perspire so much during each concert, having many costume change would mean that they need to waste a lot of water and use electricity to wash those costumes. Nino also calculated that the laundry money saved could probably buy enough fuel for a small town for a month or so.
Instead of creating elaborate sets, they are going to look for things that they have laying around, like kitchen tables, sofas, water beds (ie beds that have been soaked by rain, because someone forgot to close a window), and make full use of them... in many a creative ways.
According to credible sources, at one point, Ohno suggested painting/decorating the entire set himself. Unfortunately that was very quickly put to a stop by the Concert Planning Staff, when Nino said that he will provide toilet papers as part of the art deco ~~ the Concert Planning Staff were worried about the origins of the toilet papers...if Nino was caught taking them from public toilets it would be a PR disaster, not to mention the stories they have to come up with to explain the long queue at the toilet cubicle Nino was using...
Discussions are still ongoing, but thus far it seemed to be moving along quite good. They have, according to another credible source, landed sponsorship from a big international brand, famous for its clothings, leather goods and also home deco. The company also has their own popular perfume... *K Be, C* One, ** One **iSex...
Anyone wants to attend this concert? Shall we go together? Lolxxxxx
