Kato Kazuki Live GIG 2006 ~ Review

I'm mad about Kazu-chan, so Part One is sort of a disappointment. He's singing Warning and Higher, and clinging to the microphone for dear life. I mean, he sort of dances with the microphone stand, which is SUPER uncool! I mean, its a cordless mic, so he could have jolly well removed the microphone and walk around on stage. The way he kept shaking either his right or left leg was rather distracting too. Sighx. I guess he was nervous or something? He looked waay better as Atobe in TeniMyu, maybe its easier to pretend to be a character, I mean Atobe has a few signature moves, a certain attitude to emulate... Its might be simpler to become someone else with an established personality? Don't know for sure. Good thing he's hot, otherwise, watching him would be a little boring. Okay voice though. In a way, I suppose I've sort of equated Atobe with Kazu-chan, so it becomes jarring when Kazu-chan seems to behave a little less like Atobe, you know the the absolute confidence, the cool poses of Atobe... and instead practically attaches himself to the microphone. Sad. Is this Kazu-chan's first time on stage? He kept touching his hair, the fringe, as he was making the little speech in the second part of the video. He also kept closing his eyes when he sings, regardless of what type of song, I mean, don't tell me he's trying really hard not to look at the audience! And he blocks the lower half of his face due to the clasping of his microphone. Sad. If not for the side cameras in the video, all I would be looking at would be his hair and eyebrows. So imagine the poor audience. Sighx. His clothes are SUPER formal, I mean, the suit... the tie, I mean, he's so hot, he should have more confidence! And the stage was really near the audience, so he could have easily interacted with the crowd. AHHH! The beginning was such a waste! He even forgot some of the lyrics of Our Future! Its one of my favourites, and he just stopped at the intro to the chorus! Super obvious! He managed to tide it over by rolling his head backwards and touching his fringe. Thank goodness the action looked liked something Atobe would do, so I just swooned and forgave him. But I laughed when I saw how ridiculous he looked 'dancing' during Starlight Dreamer. You know, the head rocking action thingy. He looked like he could have joined Indian Dance! It seemes as if he did not know what to do with his hands, I mean, he was doing the Atobe pointing at adoring crowd action, but it seems like a throwback to the numerous times he acted in Dreamlive. Then there was the Insight-like action. Sad. He looked totally hot when he removed his silver jacket, but his hot-factor couldn't have saved his obvious unease. He was 'moving' the microphone stand around his neck... Ok. Its official. He looks silly. Must be his first time on stage. He only became more comfortable in the middle when his voiced (and the crowd) sort of warmed up. Realised that he keeps drinking, must be really tiring to sing so many songs. The crowd was reallly weak, and Kazu-chan should really brush up on his English. Although he has really nice biceps. Yup. Yummy arms, most probably from the gym. He did a backflip in the last video! His earring was damn cool!

Oh yeah. Here are the songs he sang during the Live Gig 2006, in order, all available on Youtube. It must be noted that some of the songs will flow onto the next video:

First video: Warning, Higher
Second video: Soba ni Ite, Kimi to Zutto
Third Video: Our Future, Starlight Dreamer
Fourth video: Shining (I think), Line
Fifth video: Tokyo Diamond (I think) and Flaming Ice!
Sixth Video: Warning (again, better!)
Seventh Video: Can't indentify

OMG! I just found out that Kazu-chan DOESN"T act in Dreamlive 4th! Are they trying to KILL me! Then who is going to be Atobe?! And the emphasis is on Rikkaidai! ARGH! NO FAIR! Loks like I have to go watch the old Dreamlives all over again for my Kazu-chan fix...

Sobs...

Does anyone know how to get the Prince Of Tennis : Musical Best Actor - Atobe Keigo? I want Flaming Ice, Koori no Emperor and the other songs...
