This is a special one! According to the Tomioka Silk Mill page it will take an hour by Shinkansen from Tokyo to a station in Gunma, then more time on top to get to the silk mill. Still, it'd be worth it. The building looks beautiful!

It was nice ! She sings very well, the audience was on fire for "Get no satisfaction", "Stand up girls" and "Magic Number", I now know the choreography for Stand up girls XD
It rained, she and us were soaked ! When she sang "Ame ga furu" someone laugh very hard so everybody laughed, I thought about this song immediately when it rained so it was fun she really wanted to sing this song, as the possibility of the rain LOL
I saw another foreigner with a japanese, that's all....
2h and they spend time to put a I-don't-know-the-name Tarp ? Tarpaulin ? To protect her and the musicians.

1.Purachina
2.Yasashisa ni tsutsumaretanara
3.Hashiru
4.Kaze ga fuku hi
5.Tsuki to hashirinagara
6.SONIC BOOM
7.Kiseki no umi
8.Ame ga furu
9.Kazamidori
10.Bokutachi ga koi wo suru riyuu
11.stand up,girls!
12.Get No Satisfaction!
13.Magic number
14.everywhere

Encore
15.Okaerinasai
16.Pocketto wo kara ni shite

And there was a f**** cricket who kills all balad song arrr.

Ow... tsuki to hashirinagara.. nice :D
Lately i found this song interesting... sounds great at lazy times.... XD

There's magic number too.. *jumping*. And did maaya perform full version of okaerinasai, megu? what do u think about the song? Everywhere as the last song *before encore*... i imagined some people being reminded that she's now "not available" anymore XD

Thanks for the review megu-chan.. i'm glad u have some fun.
and lol about the cricket thing
