Perfume World Tour 4th Future Pop in TAIWAN

It has been almost 3 years since my last Perfume concert, finally they are having their 4th World Tour and I attended!

 

Actually in 2018 Perfume held a fans club tour that only fans club (P.T.A.) member can join. I was very eager to attend the concert, I even bought the air ticket to go there in May before I know the ballot result. However unfortunately I couldn't get the ticket T.T

Then after the P.T.A. tour they also having their 7th tour in Japan for their latest album Future Pop. Since I'm already went to Japan in May, I can't afford to go there again in the same year, so I have to miss that tour T.T At the end of 2018 Perfume announced they going to have their 4th World Tour in 2019. I was so excited to hear about this but too bad they are not coming to Singapore this time. In Asia they only go to Shanghai and Taiwan, and since I already missed the previous 2 tour I decided to go for Taiwan one, not going to miss it again. So I asked along my friends whether they wanna join me to Taiwan and surprisingly they are ok with it and going to the Taiwan concert with me! haha. So on 1st March 2019 we 3 went to Taipei and attend their concert on 2nd March.

Collect the tickets from Family Mart

NTU Sport Center

On that day when we are going toward the sport center we saw there were a group of people gathering around a black van at the back door. We thought probably it's Perfume in the van so we also join in the crowd. However when we were getting closer we are curious how come all the people gathering there are girls and mostly are teenage girls. Then we realized they are not gathering for Perfume, they were gathering for a K-Pop artist. Apparently on the same day at the same venue there are 2 events going on. One is Perfume's concert at the 1st floor, another one is the K-Pop artist fans meeting event at the 3rd floor. So at the same place there are 2 groups of fans, one is J-Pop fans another one is K-Pop fans. LOL

There is a board state clearly where to gather so the fans won't get confused. LOL

The queue for the goods

Only bought the towel and 2 pins collection

The goods booth

I'm the first one to put my present there! Hehe

Bought for them the Irvin's salted egg fish skin. Hopefully they will eat it and read my letter.

Maybe because of that the organizer never blast out Perfume's songs at all at the place. It was rather quiet there and I don't see any Perfume cosplayer also. It was not as merrier as the one in Japan. However there are a few Taiwanese fans there trying to gather up the fans and do something for Perfume. They prepared a large banner for everyone to sign on it and give it to Perfume. They even giving out self make banner to the fans there. Applause to the effort they put in for this.

The large banner with all the fans signature and message

My message to them: All the best for World Tour. Please come to Singapore!

Gathering up the fans to sign the banner

Self made banner

It's really in good quality

Thank you Taipei for such a special banner! Loved reading all of your messages after the show. Can't wait to come back and visit! 💕 #FuturePopTour #prfm

At 6.30pm, we are queuing up and getting ready for the concert!

We are ready for the concert!

Queuing to go in

7.10pm, we finally went into the hall and got quite a good place to stand. We're at the nocchi view!

Quite close to the stage

7.40pm, all the lights went off and start off with the intro song of the album 'Start-Up'. There they are the 3 beautiful ladies, Perfume! It was time to get HIGH!!! It was follow by their album title song 'Future Pop'. Besides performing the album songs, Perfume also performed some of their old songs liek 'Electro World', one of my favourites at the concert especially the nocchi solo part. Really like her face expression. Before they went to MC corner they performed 'FUSION', the collaboration song which they performed during docomo 5G experiment where the 3 ladies performing  at different countries at the same time and live broadcast to the whole world with almost perfect synchronize.

MC corner, A~chan talked about what they did the day before the concert. Besides just eating and drinking bubble milk tea, they also went prawning! That's right, fish prawn （エビ釣り）. So they went prawning for 1 hour and A~chan got 5 in the end. Nocchi not bad as well, got 3. As for Kashiyuka, she only got 1 at the last minute of an hour. A~chan said after she got a few after 30 minutes she got a bit bored, so she started rapping. Yukachan said "Stop it! You are chasing away all the prawn at my area". LOL. Yukachan add on, even though she only got 1, she "enjoyed" it. LOL. So for this concert, A~chan separated the audience into 2 groups: “钓”，“虾”.She was trying hard to say it in the correct tone. It was so cute. Haha

The concert goes on with the album songs and one of the highlight was when they are performing 'Tiny Baby'. There was mic stand when they started performing this song, and from my view I could see there is a smart phone attached to their mic stand. I was wondering did I see it wrongly. Then at the final chorus 3 of them grab the mic stand and performing in front of the mic stand, and the big screen behind them broadcasting their up close faces with AR mapping. So it was really a smart phone attached to their mic stand. It must be one of Rhizomatics experiment. Haha.

P.T.A. corner: This time A~chan didn't do the 'follow my action' section. Instead, since they are in Taiwan they were going to perform their Taiwan big brothers' song, MayDay （五月天）- 'Do you ever shine?' A~chan even teach us how to do A Shin （阿信）pose at the end of the song and say they are going to mimic A Shin. I should say nocchi's mimic was the best! Put all her effort to perform the song. Haha. Can refer the video below where they did the same thing at Super Slippa Live 2018.

After 1 hour 40 minutes, it had come to an end and Perfume say goodbye to everyone. Everyone didn't leave the place at once, instead we stood there and sing one of their memorable song - 'Star Train'. At one point, A~chan joined in the song and said thank you to everyone. It was amazing to be able to see Perfume performing live again, but still didn't enjoyed enough. Hopefully I'm able to join the next Japan tour. 

All the best to their remaining World Tour where mostly are at USA. I'm waiting for the next single! ^^

Everyone still standing there to sing Star Train

All sweaty and hungry after the concert. LOL
