I'm talking to a Japanese fan now who says she was two rows behind me, and she said she's been going to Arashi concerts since 2000 and this was the worst atmosphere she'd ever seen. ;;; So at least it's not just me...
It's kind of standard for them to withhold signboards if the crowd is rude, if I recall, though. :/ And I could understand why they wouldn't do speeches if the audience was being upsetting; there's kind of no point if they can't speak genuinely...
Even though a lot of people were saying they thought it was punishment the second night, I think there's probably another reason for A-Ra-Shi getting cut since it wasn't there on the first night... Ah, you know, I didn't think of it at first, but I wonder if it was because of Sho's injury?
He didn't dance at all for his solo. They all danced together to "Move your body" and "Step and Go," but I doubt the first set could really be changed around that late in the game. The rest of the night had very little in the way of group dance choreography. Maybe they were giving Sho a break by not performing it? It's kind of hard for me to imagine them singing A-Ra-Shi without dancing to it...
