I'm back!
I'm sooo happy that I'm finally able to come back to this lovely platform that I had been put it on hiatus for quite sometimes (due to some personal circumstances). But anyway, I'm back and I want to start with something not related at all to Johnny's West but they had hold this title before they debut + some of their song are sang during this concert and I'm absolutely thrilled to talk about it with you guys!
As you can see above, I'll be sharing my personal report on the online viewing of Kansai Johnny's Jr. DREAM LIVE 2022 that happened on 23rd October 2022 at Osaka Castle Nishinomura Garden. Since it started back in 2020, this would be the first time that we're getting fans to physically join the show and I'm totally excited for them yet jealous because they got to be there π.
Anyway, for this year DoriAi, we have 4 main performer from Kansai Jr. starting with :
Ae! Group
Lil Kansai
With 4 groups being the main performer + Kansai Johnny's Jr, it was a total of 50 performer for DoriAi 2022.
Kansai Johnny's Jr!
Judging from the group picture, I could say that our Kansai boys are getting quite the budget for this year DoriAi. I mean, if you are an old fans of Kansai Jr, you do know how hard it is for our boys to actually get a decent performance outfit but not this time π!

Starting from the opening act till the end, I was really and very very surprised on how decent the outfit were for the main performer team. I guess it has something to do with the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Osaka Castle Tower Reconstruction. But still, I'm glad we're seeing great improvement for Kansai Jr!
Alrite, moving on, let's talk about the setlist. How do I feel about it?
I LOVE IT.
From the starting opening act till encore, each song was well-chosen and I can't help but having teary-eyes when I watch them, especially BoysBe and AmBitious, because all of them have grown-up for the last 2 years.
I mean, even before both units were formed, I had watched them starting of from being a backup dancers for Johnny's West concert and other senpai concert till being in their own possible debut group. It is not official yet that they are debuting but they are already being put together, have a group name, being the main performer, and now holding the baton as senpai of Kansai Jr. Gosh, why am I being emotional π~

Compare to before, I can see that they are more stable and confident in performing. Well, there's still some awkwardness in their hand movement and facial expression but they had improve like A LOT compare to the last time I saw them. Good job boys and keep it up!
Anddd, we can't left out Lil Kansai and Ae! Group!
Both are doing awesome as always but I guess the senpai baton is about to be passed on to Lil Kansai. During the show, they announce that Ae! Group will have a nation wide tour in 2023!! Most of Ae! Group fans are saying that there's might a possibility of them getting the debut announcement during the tour. Yes! Please make it happen π!!
This song is too funny and can someone share with me on where I can get the eng lyrics for this song? The beat is very catchy and I do understand some parts of the lyrics but I still want to know the rest of the lyrics. Do let me know where to find it!
Talking about Lil Kansai being the dai-senpai of Kansai Jr, I don't know how should I feel about it but I believe they have the passion and know that their time has come to carry own the baton. I remember seeing somewhere on twitter that Shimasaki Tao of Lil Kansai mentioned that Naniwa Danshi Daigo has verbally passed the kanju center baton to him.

I mean, throughout the whole show, you can clearly see how Tao is being pushed a lot to be one of the main MC and it took me be by surprised on how well he talk because previously he was shadow by Naniwa Danshi and Ae! Group to do most of the talking, but since Lil Kansai is now one of the senpai, someone need to take the center stage. Ganbare Lil Kansai!
Anddd, now let's talk about the unit shuffle medley!
Gosh, each one of the shuffle unit did a wholesome great job in performing the song because THEY LITERALLY SLAY IT and it definitely on top of the list of performances that you won't forget ππ€!
If you ask me, my top favorite shuffle unit would definitely be team "Moonlight" ✌️. They did such a great job in covering the song and perform it. I can almost say that I was surprised by their energy because it's giving me soo much of Johnny's West feeling to it and even the audience are having so much funnn during that song! I mean, hello Jasmine, we can't denied that our west always produce song that could unite the crowd!
After the shuffle unit, all 4 teams including Kansai Jr. perform multiple song together and ending the show with the song, "Osaka Romance". It was really beautiful and if you are have loong being in the fandom, you know how amazing it is to see all of them, standing strong and proud on the stage.
My personal note, it was an amazing, beautiful, fun, and warm show that had been well-thought and put together by Kansai Jr. and staff member. I may have lost my valuable sleeping time that night but it was 100% worth it to watch it ππ€!
What I wrote here is just a small portion of what actually happening during the whole show and I encourage you to go and make time to watch it because I assure you that you will have tons of fun! Anddd, do watch it with other fans, I'm sure you will enjoy it more! (site)
Thank you Kansai Jr for giving me back the healing that I believe it was long due since I decide to go on hiatus for a while. γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγγ！
