Another show where I did not know the group well, but had a good time even if I was not converted to stan-dom.
We had soundcheck with our tickets so we got to see the group perform a few songs and have a little banter. Ten and Yangyang had a yaoi moment where Ten intently brushed hair from Yangyang's face - congratulations to them!
The show itself was fun. Although the layout was all flat, no elevation to the seats, we had a good view of the thrust stage and everyone exercised sensible phone etiquette (phones at eye height). The VCRs were all very gothic, with dark magic and vampires and moody lighting in a mansion. Overall I enjoyed the show more than I expected - they are an entertaining group and for me their songs were more enjoyable live than on record. I do like Ten a lot, but Xiaojun was also quite a stand out as a performer.
The ments were mostly in Mandarin, which I cannot understand, with some Cantonese from Xiaojun and Hendery, of which I could understand some but not all. They also showed a preview of their Winter album after the show, cue much excitement from fans.
It was quite interesting observing HK fan etiquette with freebies. They would really only give you a freebie if they were sure you liked that member. So![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tullycat, with her Ten PC prominently displayed on her bag, got given lots of Ten freebies - whereas I got nothing until I hung my Kun soundcheck pc from my bag, at which point I started getting Kun freebies!
Unsurprisingly for a Hong Kong show, there were very few visibly Western fans. Also interesting, there are no bag size restrictions so many fans had MASSIVE bags stuffed with plushies (both fanmade and official), pcs, slogans, etc.
