AAA First (hope it isn't the last) Concert in Jakarta

Hi Inspiring people!

When I was a high school student, I really really really love AAA (read: Triple-A / Toripuru-E). AAA is an acronym from Attack All Around. Yes I know there's something wrong with the grammar, but please respect it as a name of the group. AAA is a co-ed group (girl and boy group) from Japan. They have 5 members: Nissy, Uno, Hidaka, Atae, & Shuta. Even though when I watch this concert, they still have 7 members: Chiaki and Naoya. Ah.. Chiaki...

At 2015, AAA have their 10th anniversary. Well, I become their fans since 2006. I totally in love with them, and I will write another story about why I love AAA in the next post. Back to the topic, AAA held their Asia concert tour. AAA often have japan tour concert, but Asia is their first time.

I feel like it's my university graduation gift from God. Because their news about they will hold a concert in Jakarta is the day when I've finished my undergraduate thesis. kyaaaaaa lol. And what makes me more happier is their VIP ticket price only IDR 600k. For a comparison, Bigbang concert in Jakarta at the same year. Their VIP ticket is IDR 2.000.K. Yeah I know the venue for AAA concert is smaller than Bigbang, but I love smaller venue cause I can see them more clearer haha. And the venue for AAA Jakarta Concert is in Upperroom Jakarta, Anex Building. It located opposite Plaza Indonesia.

The fact that the merchandise more expensive than the concert ticket makes me feel down lol. Because I never ask money to my parents if I wanna watch a concert, and I used my money for writing my undergraduate thesis. But in the end, I still buy the merchandise lol. Then i buy their merchandise in Japan, and I need to pay taxes more expensive. I bought a t-shirt, hand towel (yes it's a much for Hurricane Riri, Boston Mari song), pen and plushie. For pen and plushie, it feels like play with gacha. Cause we can't choose which one we want. And gladly I got Chiaki plushie. Cause I really love Chiaki and Hidaka in AAA.

2006 when Facebook is the first time available to the public, I was a Jpop fans. I really love BoA, Tohoshinki / TVXQ, AAA, Kana Nishino, Chihiro, Koda Kumi, Morning Musume etc. Well, because it's really really hard to get information about Jpop at that time, I made the first AAA Indonesia fans at the Facebook group to make a connection and get more info about AAA. Well, I only managed it until 2011 because I'm moving to Kpop haha. I still listening Jpop, but many Kpop songs got my heart at that time. Then I give the fan page to another member. At this concert, I met another admin of the fan page, so I feel like it's our reunion haha.

I decide not to record any performance at this concert. Even though I like to record every concert that I attended. But I wanna enjoy every single time in this concert cause AAA really rare to have a concert outside Japan. Gladly that year tongsis a.ka selfie stick not born yet. So I can see AAA clearly with no one any single selfie stick. Not like the usual concert lately, so many people use a selfie stick in concert. Guys please not use any selfie stick in concert.

Japan is known well as the most accurate time. So the concert starts on-time without any delay, and it's my first time to attend the neatest concert in Indonesia lol. And I met another AAA fans from Japan. I can bet they're loyal fans since they wore many AAA's plushies. AAA released their plushie every they hold a concert.

In the middle of the talk session, AAA members greet their fans with Indonesian then English. At first, Naoya asking us if we can understand Japanese so that they can use Japanese. But all audience shouts said, "nevermind we can understand Japanese" lol. Why you guys really awesome lol. I can still understand what they said since they talk slowly. Before the talk session ended, all audience sing Thank You to AAA. And they really happy heard us sing that song.

If you ask me why you need to buy their hand towel, its because every Hurricane Riri, Boston Mari song they will swing the towel. Every time, everywhere they sing that song lol. It's like the identity of this song. And we swing that towel in this concert. Before V.O.L started, AAA teaches us the point dance of that song. So we can dance together with them.

AAA Concert in Jakarta lasted for 2 hours. When the concert ended there are 2 tv stations ask me to have a short interview with them lol. But yeah I don't remember which tv station and I rare to watch tv too.

Thank you AAA for coming to Indonesia and come to an 'alay' music show (Alay is a stereotype describing something "tacky" and "cheesy"). At least as a former AAA Indonesian fanbase founder, I feel so happy cause they can come and greet their fans in Jakarta. I hope that AAA can hold a concert in Indonesia again. Well, Hidaka almost holds his solo concert in Jakarta but COVID-19 already destroy it all. Sad. See you again AAA

Xoxo,
