The first concert in Japan was over. It seems everyone really enjoyed it. No wonder. They were really great in Singapore, I believe as well in Japan. They use the same set list for the concert, like in Singapore. Except on Grateful Heart, according to Patrick Ralph helped Stefan in a duet.

Day #2

Ten minutes before the gate open. What a crowd. (Credits: Patrick)

The concert #2 was over. It went very nice. Then it means the Spring Tour 2012 was over too. Congratulation, boys. Patrick reports a few changes on the leading on some songs. Ciaran consolidated by 5 others on Dies Irae which is means they sang together with him. Matthew RA and Ciaran isolated at front center, and heads of 2 side rows sung with them. Stefan helped on Exsultate. Eoghan almost soloist on How Shall I Sing That Majesty.

Meet & Greet

Japan is very strict. Photography or video is not allowed during the meet and greet. It's always be the same in Japan. But, thank God, Patrick managed to get a few shots. For signatures, the boys divided to 2 groups of 6 boys.
Day #1

Day #2
You can see how long the queue on the day #2. It is longer than yesterday. No wonder, it's a sold-out concert. All pictures credits to Patrick.

Some fans are waiting outside the building for Libera boys, at the bus parking. RED BUS! As I remember, this bus always takes Libera to anywhere in Japan during the tour.

The Merchadise

At the venue, they sell the programme booklet for 1500 Yen (picture below). The programme has 28 pages, thick paper, all in colours, and no pages used for sponsors. It looks really pretty. Japan always makes a very nice one. Love it! I love how they put all Matthews in the same row. It's just cute and funny, somehow. For those who bought the premium ticket for Japan concert, they got a programme booklet and a very cute Libera mug (picture below). Oh, I really want one. Haha.
