Tokyo Flashback : YG Family Concert World Tour 2014 ~Power~ in Japan / 東京フラッシュバック:YG ファミリー・ワールドツアー 2014~パワー~inジャパン

In case you don't know, YG is a Korean record label Its roster features such international acts like Bigbang, 2NE1, and Psy who had the international hit with "Gangnam Style". Almost every year, the artists on the label will tour the world together. This year, the headliner's of course were Bigbang, my wife's current favorite artist). Other acts on the bill were Psy, 2NE1, Epik High, Lee Hi, Akdong Musician, Winner, and Team B whose name was later changed to iKon. I think this was my second time seeing Bigbang. I'm not really a big fan but I went because my wife didn't want to go to the show alone. However, I was looking forward to seeing 2NE1.

知らない人がいるかも知りませんので、YGは韓国のレコードレーベルです。レーベルに所属してるアーティストは国際的でも有名なビッグバン、Psy, 2NE1など。ほぼ毎年、YGレーベルが所属してるアーティストのツアーを行ってます。YG ファミリーツアーで名づけられてる。今年のYGファミリーツアーを参加してるアーティストはもちろんビッグバン。そのほかはPsy, 2NE1, Epik High, Leehi, Akdong Musician, WinnerとTeam B。Team B はあとからiKonで命名された。自分はビッグバンのファンでもないんですが、妻の付き合いで、ライブに行った。ま、個人的に楽しみにしてたのは2NE1。

We had time to eat lunch before heading to the Tokyo Dome so we went to our neighborhood pizza place called Poco. Actually, I think my wife had to work in the morning and I went here on my own.

東京ドーム行く前に時間があったので、近所の小さなピザ屋「ポコ」でランチを食べた。確か妻は午前中バイトだったので、一人で行った気がする。


Having a salad with my pizzas. I had ordered two.

ピザとサラダを共に食べた。2種類のピザを注文した。


This one is called the Capricciosa. It consists of shrimp, sausage, zucchini, paprika, olives, Asiago cheese, and Parmigiano cheese.

一つのピザは具たくさんの”カプリチョーザ”。これはエビ、ソーセージ、ズッキーニ、パプリカ、オリーブ、アジアーゴチーズとパルミジャニーノ。


The other pizza I ordered was the "Fungi". This is a mushroom pizza. It is made with porcini, brown mushrooms, eringi, and shimeji mushrooms with a cream sauce and Asiago and Parmegiano cheese.

もう一つのピザはキノコクリームピザ。具はポルチーニ茸、ブラウンマッシュルーム、エリンギ、シメジ、生クリーム、アジアーゴチーズとパルミジャニーノ。

After my wife came back from work, we went to the Tokyo Dome.

We saw a lot of fans dressed as their favorite artists. 

ファンたちはけっこう好きなメンバーの格好をしてました。


Like this guy, who was dressed as T.O.P.

こういう人とか。T.O.P.の真似をしてる。


Then there were these cute kids. Uh...what's wrong with that girl's foot?

そしてこの可愛い二人が居た。えぇ??彼女の足はどうなってる?

We had time to kill before the door would open so we took a walk around the Tokyo Dome.

開場まで時間があったので東京ドーム周辺を歩き回った。


We spotted this guy not too far from the Dome.

I'm still not a hardcore fan of K-Pop (Korean pop music), but I really enjoyed the show. It was very entertaining. And seeing 2NE1 was a bonus for me. My wife of course was excited about the entire show. And that was the end of one exciting day.

いまでも自分は熱狂的なKポップファンではないが、ライブがすごく楽しめた。特に2NE1が見れて良かった。妻はもちろんずーと興奮してた。そして楽し日が幕を閉じた。
