Stars on Planet 2018
I went to both performances of this year’s Stars on Planet! Presented by ZimuinG, the singers were 96neko, Aho no Sakata, Amatsuki, Soraru, Natsushiro Takaaki, and Eve! The theme was Le Petit Prince.
I just barely made the start;; Even though i was cutting it really close, I wanted to pick up the towel and some of the blind draws for merch because I was worried they’d sell out like the shirt and signlight..... There was some confusion on my seat so it took a few songs before I was able to sit down! I was on the second floor so it was pretty hard to see, and i couldn’t see the top of the screen in the back so sometimes pictures or performers’ faces would get cut off;; but I was very close to the middle, at least!
They started with the story introduction, then everyone followed with solos. 96 mentioned this would happen in an earlier stream, but the audience was generally a sea of red and blue LOL because amatsuki, 96neko, and sakatan are red; soraru and eve are blue; and Natsushiro Takaaki was yellow! Soraru sang yoake to hotaru really nicely!! That’s around when I was able to get to my seat, which is very lucky because soon afterwards was 96neko’s solo!!! As soon as she walked onto the stage, even though it was completely dark, everyone knew who it was because of her silhouette HAHAHA.... She was wearing a black gown with red accents (roses?) and a very cute crown..... She had the cutest long blonde hair to match~ She sang so beautifully and it was my first time hearing her live so I cried the entire time..... Her voice is really really amazing!!! It’s so powerful and full of emotion and yet very very pretty...... The Prince’s flower bloomed behind her as she finished the song.
Sakata’s solo was a very cute song, I liked it a lot! I don’t know the title though~
96 and sakata sang kimi no shiranai monogatari together!! it was very pretty. They also sang another song with amatsuki and natsushiro! It was a lot of red lights punctated with a few yellows hahaha. In one of the group songs, 96 falls down the steps coming down and gave everyone in the audience a shock!! She got up and seemed to be okay though, which was a relief. They also did 3 nayutan seijin songs! Soraru and Amatsuki dueted the first one (Myoujou Galactica) and got the audience to all stand up and have some fun by singing along to some parts!!
96′s second solo was Starduster!! Her voice was SOOO POWERFUL it nearly blew my face off she was so good!!! It’s incredible that someone is able to sing live like that ahhhhhhhhhhh
At the very end of the story, actual actors came out, playing the prince and pilot!! I thought it was very nice....
They finished with little traveller. Eve, soraru, and 96 came to sing their parts, then the other three followed for the second verse. At the end, they went up one by one to take a bow as their name and birthdates/horoscope signs showed on the screen behind.
Then, there was an encore!! They did a bit of talking before the last song. 96 was actually pretty quiet at first!! She waved at us a lot though. She looked so tiny compared to everyone else omggg and her yukata was so cute!! She changed into a brown midlength wig, it was really pretty. Soraru seemed to be leading the talk for most of it. They walked up the stairs to see the boards where everyone had written messages on glow-in-the-dark stars to stick on, and I think soraru complained about heights hahaha. He asked if anyone wrote wishes, and said it was mostly names.... apparently he found one that says “may sakata always be happy (or healthy...?)”. When they returned to the front of the stage, 96 suddenly moved to the very end of the line to the left and amatsuki looked at her questioningly. Apparently she just wanted to be standing in the same order they were earlier lol. Everyone made pretty short statements! While the others were talking, they’d sit along the platform waiting. At one point 96 helps to fix either Eve or Natsuki Takaaki’s wires for his earpiece? They were cute. For 96′s part, she mentioned ZimuinG so she turns to the piano and is like “...oh he’s not even here” (he was behind them). They leave Amatsuki to talk last for some reason? Then, they take a commemoration photo with everyone. 96 gets helped up by the photographer~ They sing one last song (I FORGOT IT....) and the curtains are drawn!!
When the stage has cleared, the musicians return and they allow us to take pictures of the stage for 5 minutes! At the end there’s a bunch of dates and locations listed on the screen and I didn’t know what they were for, but found out later they’re for the exhibition and popup shop that they’ll be doing!! So I’ll be able to get the signlight yayy
We all file out and I try to get two more kuji but they’re sold out just as I get to place my order ;-; I head over to put stars on the board since I didn’t have time when I arrived and also grab a fan! I also send off my letters~
I line up to get in for the second performance, and when I’m in i grab some pictures of the standees!! I stood there for over 5 minutes waiting for it to be clear enough LMAO everyone kept running up to them.... especially soraru’s omfg it barely had a free second??
During one of the group songs soraru missed his lines twice it was really cute?? he was too busy like, smiling and waving and looking at the other members flmgnkdfjgfdgmnfg
This time I didn’t cry at 96′s first solo but I cried at her second........ She was as perfect as she was in the first performance :’)
This time when they were called back for the encore, soraru started making his way towards the signed boards like, “let’s see what people wrote” and amatsuki, who was behind him starting next up the stairs, said “okay just you go, bye” They all eventually made their way up though hahaha. 96 was crouched at one sign for a long time reading the fewer ones on the bottom (most people put their stars at eye level, near the top!). Soraru again asks if anyone wrote any wishes and goes “Ah! This one says, ‘May Sakatan become smarter!!’” and Amatsuki pipes up with “Oh, this one says ‘May Soraru-san become a better person’”
The MC part for everyone is short once again!! 96 says she has an announcement!! ....She didn’t fall this time LOL. They talk about her super cool platform shoes and she tries to show them off (the yukata limits her flexibility a bit). Sakata has a red flower decoration in his hair (I’m not sure if it was there in the first performance?) and everyone shouts that he’s cute, to which he says “Everyone in the audience is the cute one~” and flirts with the camera DLKGHS the screams were deafening. He also goes up to soraru and touches his hair for some reason? I’m not sure if he was just bringing attention to his hair accessory or if he was adding to it lol
They got ZimuinG to talk a bit and he got lots of cheers and name calls~
They end the night with Natumatsuri!! It was so fun, I really love that song! As the curtains were closing they started crouching to wave at us for as long as possible..... They looked like they had a lot of fun and it was very cute!!
I ended up facetrading a girl for some 96neko merch~ Didn’t even try for soraru’s because everyone and their mom was on the hunt for his but it’s okay!!! At least I have something I wanted!
It was a really pretty performance! Everything was so atmospheric and fancy and the songs fit the story nicely! The outfits were all so nice too~
