"Good evening everyone. It's BoA! ehh..  Welcome to BoA LIVE TOUR 2019 #mood las..t...first day!"

(BoA was going to say last day but realized her mistake first.)

"Tour rehearsal was quite long so in my mind, it feels like the last day already."

"Isn't it raining?"

(Sure thing. It did rain.)

"A certain part of  a certain song was embarrassing."
(referring to "I'm no longer a girl but not yet a woman." talk part in Dakishimeru)

"Since it's the first day, I'm a little nervous. Please forgive me."

"I'm not good at MC." to audience who comes for the first time
(BoA keeps saying that but every fan says her MC is funny, at least from all the tweets that I read.)

BoA talks with Sakurai during MC

Staff always prepare MC topics but "I never follow them."

To a child who just woke up from a sleep in the audience "Kid! Have fun!"

"Set list was purposefully made to remind you of your youth... LOL Did it work?"

BoA asked a young dancer that she didn't know this song, right? The young dancer replied that her mother listened to it! BoA said "That's painful to hear..."

BoA talked about Bangkok (KCRUSH concert the day before) "My head is all jumbled up."

Sagamihara second day 190923

BoA "Tokyo, are you ready?!"
Everyone "??(what)?? wooooo!!!!"

Even though it's not Tokyo (Sagamihara is in Kanagawa) but everyone went along with BoA. Such a warm and kind atmosphere.

BoA talked about embarrassing lines in Dakishimeru again. This time, longer talk. LOL

BoA "It's just that my career is long but I'm still young!"

A fan asked about lunch
BoA "I had shin-ramen"
(instant noodles)

Recently BoA's alcohol tolerance has been dropping. She gets a hangover just by drinking one can of beer.
So BoA's new favorite drink is Wilkinson carbonated water. She'll drink some with ice after concerts to refresh herself.


BoA talked to Higechan (drummer) during MC but Higechan didn't have a mic set up so BoA will have one set up for him starting from Fukuoka concert.

BoA talked about how the band and dancers get along really well and audience can feel it during band and dancer introduction.

Fukuoka 190928

Crowd went wild starting from the first 3 songs "Fukuoka danced and sang with me since the beginning. This is the best opening ever."

After singing SUKIDAYO -MY LOVE-, BoA said she was told by her manager that she made a mistake and sang "sono te"(that hand) instead of "kono te"(this hand) at the Sagamihara concerts.

Yesterday at airport arrival, a highschool fangirl handed her a letter written in Korean (the fan is actually Japanese). BoA's manager stopped the fan from taking pictures. "My manager is so cold."

Heavy rain started right before the concert start time.
"It was raining cats and dogs, right? Let's sell umbrella as tour goods next time. The kind that can be used for both sun and rain."

fan "Make the goods cheaper"
BoA "Staff, please make them cheaper"

fan "What toner do you use?"
BoA "It's a secret."
another fan "What about foundation?"
BoA "Why are you guys so stubborn? I'll ask my make up artist next time."
BoA said she usually didn't do make up herself.

BoA saw a fan holding Wilkinson bottle "It tastes better cold!"

MC during medley, as she tried to work the crowd "I'm not really good at working the crowd. Can you make louder noises?" <-- direct order to the drummer.

BoA confessed she had mentaiko with beer after saying she's stopped drinking only a few days ago. LOL

Saitama 190930

BoA was so cute twirling her ponytail while saying she was bad at MC-ing.

There was a kid sitting in the front and BoA went crazy over him/her! "Are you having fun? Will you come to my concert again? You are so cute!!"

BoA "Next is the last song."
fan "ehhhhhhhhh?????"
BoA (twisting her body while mimicking fans) "ehhhhhh???????"

BoA "Today is DVD filming day! I'm so nervous. On DVD filming day, I tend to make mistakes I normally don't."
BoA said she was nervous because of DVD filming but MC today is the longest ever.

BoA made a mini heart and big heart and a lot of peace pose at the end of nanairo no ashita.

BoA "Recently I'm drinking apple juice."
fan "really?"
a kid "Is it 100% juice?"
BoA (can't hear)"eh??... ah" (in kid's voice) "yes it's 100 percent"

Concert is on work day so BoA was a little interested about the fans' work hours.
BoA "Did you guys come from work? Did you take a half day leave? Work until 5pm? Not until 7pm?? It is 5pm in Japan? So do you guys run out when the bell rings? You cannot? ..."

BoA asked band members whether they were nervous because of the cameras. Sakurai(pianist) said he was nervous and planned not to speak but eventually did anyway.

Higechan(drummer) who BoA wanted to have mic installed for him since Kanagawa did have his mic in Fukuoka concert but didn't get to say anything at all in Fukuoka. BoA confessed she totally forgot to let him talk. lol Anyway he did get to talk in Saitama so it's all good.

Guitarist (or was it bassist) said he carefully made his face for the camera.
BoA: "show me!! .... LOL you look 90's"

BoA told fans about the SUKIDAYO -MY LOVE- lyrics mistake again.
BoA: "I'm still not used to camera. Into my 19th year and there're still things I'm not used to: camera, lyrics, dance left-right direction. It's the opposite in the video so when I dance following the vdo, it's left-right reverse."
fan: "..." (silence)
BoA: "Who am I talking to!?"

BoA had MOS Burger's Chili Dog for lunch and said it was spicy. Fans asked her about the chili sauce.
BoA: "chili?"
fan: "mustard!!"
BoA: "mustard? but there was no yellow sauce. only red sauce!"
fan: "honey mustard"
BoA: (never heard of honey mustard)

fans asked about alcohol
BoA: "Now I changed from 'no alcohol' policy to 'drink only once in a long while' policy. LOL This year, I didn't drink at all up until this live tour start date."
fan: "really?"
BoA: "Come to think of it, I might have had some twice." LOL

BoA: "Alcohol doesn't taste as good as before. What's good now?? Apple juice!! I'm not trying to be cute. It's true! I had some on the flight from Fukuoka and it was delicious."

New song (wishing well) is a digital single. Fans are disappointed.
BoA: "I'll release another song in CD format. What if I release 10 types of CD jackets?"
fan: "We'll buy all of them"
BoA: "Just kidding. I'm not doing that. LOL"

BoA's skirt during encore was very short.
BoA: "I usually don't wear skirts so take a good look now, alright? LOL I don't have skirts at home. They're not convenient to wear. LOL"

Nagoya 191003

credit: @s47741666

BoA talked about how she was confused about Nagoya concert start time. (which was 18:30)
When her manager told her, BoA was surprised "Really? Is there such a thing as starting at 30min, not 18:00? not 19:00?"

 Fan: BoAchan do you still drink alcohol?
BoA: No
Fan: If you don't then you're not BoA.
BoA then turned to complain to the band about fans wanting her to drink alcohol.

Fan: Will you have a drinking party after concert?
BoA: (to Higechan, the drummer) Can you drink alcohol?
Higechan: only a little
BoA: I'll beat Higechan at the party then.

BoA: What's honey mastard?
Fan: Mc chicken's mustard sauce
BoA: ah I love that sauce. I like to mix it with BBQ sauce. It's more delicious that way.

After the first 3 songs
BoA: Tokyo, Fukuoka, Omiya, and now in Nagoya～
(to BoA, it seems like Kanagawa is Tokyo)
(Sagamihara is in Kanagawa prefecture which is definitely not Tokyo lol)

Fan: Did you eat hitsumabushi (an unagi dish, Nagoya's famous food)?
BoA: I once had bones stuck in my teeth when I had unagi. I was afraid i'd get bones stuck in my throat before concert. ah but it'd be ok if I chew it well enough. didn't think of that. but I did have kishimen(another Nagoya's famous food) for lunch.

Since stage and audience seats are very close
BoA: (to front seat audience) you have to look up constantly. Aren't your neck tired? When I go to the movies I absolutely won't sit in the front row because my neck will hurt.
Fan: It's ok. Since you are close, we are happy
BoA: That's good to hear.

Behind BoA, there's a big screen on the stage.
BoA: I can't tell but when I sing, do you look at me on stage or do you look at me in the screen? lol
Fan: Of course we look at you.

Osaka day1 191013

credit: @solt1217

BoA: I arrived Osaka at 1AM today
Fan: How?
BoA: Usually I fly from Gimpo airport but this time (because of the typhoon) I flew from Incheon airport to Fukuoka.
BoA: I ate mentaiko in Fukuoka first before coming here ❤️


BoA: I always eat Curry Udon whenver I come to Osaka
Fan: But Curry Udon is famous food in Nagoya!
BoA: eh? Nagoya? but where I frequent (in Osaka), the chef always serves Curry Udon.

BoA: What dish would you recommend in Osaka?
Fan: Okonomiyaki! Takoyaki!
BoA: I always eat Okonomiyaki when I come to Osaka
Fan: Which restaurant?
BoA: I always have someone drive me there and get off the car in front of the restaurant. Since I can't read Kanji, I don't know the restaurant's name. LOL

BoA: Next is the last song.
Fan: eh????????? no!!!!!!!!!!
BoA: Shut up!!

(so many fans tweeted about this "Shut up!!" apparently the way BoA said it was so cute!)

BoA promised to post her dinner dishes on instagram later.

Osaka day2 191014

credit: @s47741666 @LuvBoA

BoA: (After singing the first 3 songs) Good evening everyone. Welcome to BoA LIVE Tour #mood (after thinking a bit) It's 4PM now so should I say good afternoon instead?

Fan: Do you still drink alcohol?
BoA: No I don't.
Fan: Will you have a party after this?
BoA: No. We still have Korea concerts left so we won't have one until then.

Band members and dancers did went out together last night though. BoA didn't join them apparently.

At a certain song, BoA sang while waving her hand to the audience and missed part of the lyrics
BoA: sorry!

Talking about Osaka food (carrying on from yesterday)
BoA mistakenly called kushikatsu "ushi-katsu" (ushi means cow)
Seems like BoA didn't know "kushikatsu"(deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables) before. She confused it with tonkatsu.

Fans asked about last night food BoA posted on instagram. The pics are hard to pin point what food they actually are.
BoA kindly explained the food as satsuma-imo okonomiyaki, spinach white cream, and tororo soba
BoA: I used iPhone11 to take close up shots of the dishes. Actually I took a selfie too but was told I looked too tired with no make up so I didn't post my pic. Next time I'll work hard for a presentable selfie face. ❤️

Fan: What's your dinner for today?
BoA: Japanese food (according to the staff)
Fan: Please post to instagram again
BoA: Even if I post the pics, you guys will ask what they are again anyway. *peevish*

BoA: Tomorrow you must go back to work, right? Let's release all the stress, sing, dance and have fun together now!

After encore,
BoA: I sang a lot of nostalgic songs this time, but is there any specific song you guys would like to hear?
Fan: (shouting various song names but mostly) konoyo no shirushi
BoA then sang a verse from it "chizumo nainoni...." and everyone sang along with her and end with "konoyo no shirushi"
Everyone: ❤️❤️❤️
