Hello everyone,

It is 3 am in Toronto, I just return from my SOF00 20th Party trip. 
Words cannot describe the experience, the only word that can come close is "Magic".
I went to the 95 concert in Osaka, it was not the same, this 20th celerbration 
is the ultimate goosebump generator, if she had sang more slow ballads, 
I think a few tears might have rolled down my face. But since it was basically 
a party set up by Seiko to be with her fans, all songs were upbeat(except for 
Sweet Memories). The last concert on the 30th was really special, she started 
the show 30 minutes early. She talked with her fans a lot, just like friends. 
Trust me, she does not have a single hair of this big star attitude, although 
she certainly is one of the biggest in this world. The concert with Shinji was 
an outdoor concert, we sat on the grass. Seiko came out also before the concert 
started(not in the backstage) and sat down on the grass in front of the first 
row. I don't see Madonna or Celine Dion doing that. There were no body guards 
surrounding her either. She wanted to see the show as well, when she finished 
her part of the guest appearence, she went down and sat on the grass again. 
I don't think Whitney Houston would even walk on the grass, let alone sat on it.
What I am saying is she just want to be a person, not a star or a Diva. 
She loves her fans as much as the fans love her. And trust me, the level of 
dedication and obsession her fans showed must be seen to be believed.
