one night is titled "exotic kiminos" and one "heavenly creatures"

do these names contain meaning, one night old stuff, one new?

or same show twice?

thanks!

I would think the 2 shows will be the same as the 2 shows over here. 1st night ECOTD followed by Kimono My House. Hence Exotic Kimonos. 2nd night ECOTD followed by Number one in heaven, Hence Heavenly creatures.

If finances allow you should go to both, you will not be sorry! Who knows when they will be back in Tokyo again?

Got a call from Imperial Record (the band's label in Japan) yesterday saying that I had luckily won in the lottery and should be seeing the boys after the 23rd show.

The news came more as

and I've been feeling nervous and restless.

Liam,
Thank you. I hope I will stay sane enough to confront my idols.

What an amazing opportunity! I missed my chance to meet Ron a few years ago when they played the Hello Young Lovers concert in Tokyo. I painted a very silly huge banner with Ron on it, and later that night, after I went home, someone gave it to Ron. Hopefully I'll get to shake his hand sometime in the future.

I'm really looking forward to tonight's concert!!

Anyway, don't worry about it nekoyama. You'll be fine.

"Heavenly Creatures" is a wonderful film, broke my heart and froze my bones - you may not feel the same, tho, and of course I don't know that its anything other than handy a play on words. "Exotic Kimonos" is too obscure for me sugar

Well you lucky folk, how was it?

It was great. We got the full Exotic Creatures and full Kimono My House albums, then an encore of Propaganda (the song, not the entire album), B.C. and Suburban Homeboy. It was my third time seeing Sparks here in Japan, and all three concerts, HYL, Fuji Rock, and now the full ECOTD have been mind-blowing. Most of it is the band of course, but a small part is due to audiences here in Japan, whose enthusiasm make concert going even more amazing. I feel sorry for my Sparks loving friends back in Canada who have yet to experience the wonder of the Sparks in concert.

I hope nekoyama enjoyed meeting the brothers Mael tonight.

Nick,
Your words are great　honour for us. I've attended Sparks live three times (same as yours). All of them were great, and of course my fourth this evening will be great too.
I hope I could see you this evening before the show if you'll be there. My seat is 1-28.... first row, the very end of Russel's side.

I couldn't go to tonight's concert ZEN, because I had work. (The Eikaiwa I work at stays open until 9:00pm) My wife, Jenifer was able to go to both concerts though (she is also a big Sparks fan.)
Next time Sparks come to Japan we will meet before the concert! Let's hope they come back soon!

Set list of the second night in Tokyo....
Full Exotic Creatures and full No.1 Song, followed by an encore Dick aruound, Mickey Mouse, My way and This town.

Nick,
It's a great pity that I could not see you this evening. I wish we could meet in future.

I'll go to Osaka the day after tomorrow.
