Well, first of all I would like to thank Siu Bee. 
Xie Xie !

Thanks also to Singapore Fan – Vantic & Daniel for their best wishes   
And also to all Seiko Fan in the chatroom.

This is my first trip to Japan – Fukuoka, alone. 
I am actually quite daring and scared but I really have no choice. Really no choice.

To be frank, I have not heard of Fukuoka before. 
I stayed at Tenjin, this is where Shopping Paradise is. The subway is really fascinating, there is actually 15 exits Tenjin Subway. 

Me myself and Siu Bee attended the 2-night concert. 

Well, the opening of the concert is COOL. 
This year is a Spaceship theme.
“Welcome to our Spaceship…
It will bring to a place of wonderland if you believe in.”
The exciting part is “OUR CAPTAIN IS COMING” 

The opening is really cool……

Normally, Seiko would wear either black or White 
but this time she wore Gold & Sliver, like the Elvis Presley suit. 
All sparking shinning especially when the spot light shine at her.
Sugoii ne !!!!!!!

During the concert, Seiko talks to her Japanese Fan about her Vol.2, 
which will be release this year before her Dinner Show. 
It will be a Ballad Album. 
I think there will be a new version of “Anata ni ai ta ku te ~ Missing you”, 
I am just guessing only. 

The fans talks to Seiko which I don’t seems to understand. 
I waited quietly for my Chance.  
Like the song ~ “How to take a chance” (^ ^)
So later Seiko ended the conversation and sing the next song. 
In my mind,There is no more chance to talk to Seiko. 
So I sit back and enjoy the concert instead. Indeed, no chance. It follows by her hit melody where Seiko drove out a sport car. 

As usual, the hit melody is real fun where you got to do all kinds of hand participation. 
She ended her song and I anticipate that will talk to the crowd again.
True enough !!! 
I really can’t tolerate anyone. Out of sudden, I became an active volcano.

Tim     : Seiko Chan !! Seiko Chan !!  Singapuru kara  !  
Seiko  : Singapuru kara ???

I hold my flag real high up. Seiko saw. Then Siu bee shouted, Hong Kong desu…

Seiko  : Singapuru, Hong Kong desu ??  
        (Seiko is surprised that we are sitting together)

The background there is so noise, 
but Seiko ask then to be quite and let us talk.
I look at Siu Bee with my sparking eyes. I can’t believe it, 
Seiko is giving us the Attention. 
The spot light shine at us. Oh gosh !!!!  I’m melting…..
We told Seiko that we came to Fukuoka just to see her.  (Seiko is happy)
So Sui bee got her pie and I am waiting for mine too. 
I raise my hand like a little Boy (hee…hee) 
asking for my permission to talk. Seiko acknowledge.

Tim   :  Will you be coming to Asia Concert this year ?
Seiko :  I wish to    
         (Meaning to say, all the report is fake. There is no Asia Concert)

Tim: Do you know that there is many fans in Asia waiting for you ?

I don’t remember what seiko said because I am too fascinated.  
Seiko is really really kind. We spent about 5 magical mins with Seiko.

Then after that, she sings another 1 – 2 songs and said goodbye to the crowd.
I thought the concert had ended. I said to Siu Bee, let’s go.

Siu Bee : There is some more, 2 more songs.

All along I knew that there is 2 more songs (watched LD) 
before Seiko end her concert but this time I am being tricked by Seiko. 
I guess watching live is Really different from watching Laser Disc.

We “en ko” for Seiko. She came out in another Kawaii Suit. All yellow with a big Sunflower at her dress. She ended her concert with 20th Party.
This is really a good song to end her concert. Everyone is dancing all the way….
Then out of sudden, there is lots of slivery colorful strips burst out from the stage. It is so beautiful…… I reach out for it and managed to get quite a lot.

The funny thing is….. at the end of the concert, a few of the Japanese ladies gave their strips to us. I guess they must have welcome us !
Me and Siu Bee is indeed Very happy desu.  

We then rush out of the concert hall to buy some of her concert pictures. 
500 yen for 4 pictures.

Well, I must say that if there is chance again next year 2002, I will definitely go again.

( Seiko Chan, I Love You & thanks for the beautiful songs that you sang & the
  Inspiration that you had given me. And if I had given a wish, I would wish that
I would like to go back to the 80s again. Like back to the future )

Gambatte Ne !!
