Fiesta Fiesta is a pretty ok song, saw it live today and although there are some good lines, Ruru's is fabulous, it's a bit repetitive. The dance kind of sells it since it's more latin-ish and passionate than their usual choreography. Some things from the live:
-Sayuki's MC was really funny. So apparently they did a live in Chiba and since her grandma lives nearby she came to see it wearing a Sayuki shirt. Thing is, she told a lot of fans that she was Sayuki's grandmother, lol. So Sayuki found out about this because like a shit ton of people in her blog comments were like "Hey, Sayuki's grandmother started talking to me!". Also, at handshake events her grandmother occasionally comes and then leans forward to the members tapping them on the shoulder saying "I'm Sayuki's grandmother!" to which the guards react by telling her off since they have no idea who she is and she is getting too close, lol. So since this embarrasses the hell out of Sayuki and she doesn't stop when Sayuki tells her not to she asks the fans that if they're ever approached by her granny they should tell her that it's better not to reveal herself to people, hahahaha. Of course all the fans went like "Eeeee~~".
-Both Yanamin and Ruru are super cute~! Already talked about Yanamin in her thread but Ruru just looks really happy to be on stage and almost started crying when she was talking. She seems like a very sweet and genuine girl and it's all still a bit overwhelming for her. Excellent voice too, which they need now Karin is on hiatus. She will definitely get her share of fans and am really looking forward to see more of her personality in dvd magazines and stuff. I couldn't see how popular she was since I was right in front of the stage but quite some people around me seemed to be waving orange.
-No Jidanda dansu . This made me really sad, love the song and it was the opening number at their hall tour.
-No Karin but the rest of the members did a great job of covering for her, especially Sayuki.
-I noticed you can really tell the members' personality from their eye contact. I wave all of the member's colors (though mostly green) and they all know this, since they see me switching colors based on who is singing or currently in front of me the entire live long but their reactions differ because of it. Tips for the fans attending the foreign lives.
Yuuka fans: Really lucky since she makes a lot of eye contact. Because she is the leader I guess she doesn't even mind if you wave other colors since you're supporting Juice as a whole, despite me doing so she looks over every time I start waving pink regardless.
Tomoko fans: This girl on the other hand is the type who probably wants her fans to solely support her and constantly wave red. It is in line with what she said in her blog recently about it being alright to support the new members but having people who used to wave red suddenly change their colors is not something she is happy with, lol. So I only met her eyes only like 2 or 3 times during the entire live even when waving red right in front of her; if you are a Tomoko fan show full devotion and only wave red, lol. Then again, she is the type to try and win you over at the start if she thinks you're a new fan.
Sayuki fans: When she gets into her performance and during solo lines she seems too focused to look at the audience, but waving yellow during normal choreography will get her to look at you, also because there aren't as many people waving it.
Akari fans: She is sneaky, lol. If she is right in front, a moment where you expect to make eye contact with her (like Yuuka would definitely do) she very, very rarely looks at you and even if she does it's only a quick glance. Instead, she looks over when she is dancing at the side of the person in front of you and she doesn't expect you to be looking at her. Yeah, it's weird as hell and I have no idea if it's embarrassment or whatever but you actually have a better chance of meeting her eye when you pretend not to be looking at her. That's part of the reason why I constantly look at different members, because I'm pretty sure that if you stare at her she will ignore you outright. Probably embarrassment, since afterwards she shrieked out in joy when we shook hands. Just look super friendly and watch other members for a bit, while throwing side glances to check if she is looking.
Karin fans: Not even sure if she will still go abroad but no need to worry for eye contact, she will drag you into it, lol. You shall be compelled by the Karin force! Girl is super confident when performing so will face you head on if you're in her line of view and looking at her.
On the new members...Ruru herself said she felt embarrassed because everyone was so close to her and true enough I didn't even meet her eyes once, while Yanamin is similar to Karin and looks a lot if you are waving her color. Ever since way back in Country she's been like that, she likes to appeal and is a bit of a narcissist, lol.
