Actually it was not a triple encore, although some fans thought so. Didn't matter,
for it was how it was led to it. How with each successive show, Seiko got more 
and more back to her form, back to a confident "I am in charge of Seiko here" 
kinda mode,.. .how the night of 0801, the crowd and her led to her own stopping 
the music and singing "Only My Love", and what was also most memorable was when 
she said how moved she was when she saw the crowd's response to her "Ringoshu 
no Hibi" performance. (That, was a sure 100% sure-to-kill line to maniac fans!)


ps. gogonaggy
Budokan 0731 is easily my top3 in the last three years (#1 0801, #2 Saitama, #3 0731). 
Unlike the other shows where you tend to see some overly eagerness from either 
the crowd or the stage to try to make something happen, Budokan 0731 was mostly 
filled with non-regulars, ie they will not be ga-ga just over anything. They are picky.
But these very people started to stand, their emotions rosed to higher grounds 
with each song and by the end of the show, you have a rocking hall. Phew! that 
is hard to beat. I love Budokan 0801 and Saitama, because I am maniac fan. Best 
said as there were no frills just sure good performance by Seiko+maniac fans. 
I love Budokan 0731, because it gave me a chance to experience the highs of an 
average non-fan enjoying a fabulous show by Seiko. Best said as there were no 
frills just sure good performance by Seiko+audience. The difference is subtle, 
but the returns were simple awesome.
