Yes, I have been waiting that long ! (well, all those years ago I didn't imagine ever seeing them but.. still !!) Making a small thread about it since I was asked to (I would still have made one even if no one cared though )
(Sadly the post will not include photos because.. I kinda forgot to take any My phone doesn't take good pictures, but most of all I thought I should focus on watching Twice the most I could while it was possible, and actually managed to do it. I filmed the beginning of some songs as a souvenir then stopped to enjoy the rest of each song ! I thought I should take some pictures during the Encore (I was in the VIP/Golden place/whatever it's called so close enough) but ended up forgetting as I enjoyed myself too much !)
The day started with me missing my bus, spilling the new ink for the printer on my hands (the black and the pink, wrong concert me ) and almost arrived too late for the VIP entrance (thus Soundcheck event), but in the end I made it in time My recently bought Candy bong infinite also scared me for a sec, not working despite the new batteries, but I beat some sense into it During the wait I spotted so many Onces with butterflies accessories (not talking about Nayeon's Pop! cosplay) and jewellery (like myself btw) so idk if this was really a spoiler, but if a troll, they sure got us good
Now to the interesting part ! The songs for the soundcheck were Eye Eye Eyes, Turn It Up and Signal ! I like Turn It Up a lot especially but couldn't focus much on the song, I was busy crying because I was seeing Twice for real Wait, I only cried a little, reasonably ! I was mostly smiling I say for real but seeing Twice in real life actually feels surreal. I don't know what were your first impressions but having the confirmation Twice were not just pixels sure felt amazing Every member were very chill during soundcheck but I felt they were trying to meet the eyes of as many people as possible ! I think I crossed Dahyun's and Jeongyeon's gazes !! (I hope my eyes weren't too puffy )
There was such a good atmosphere in the venue, other Onces were so hyped ! The French ones kept doing that one chant they do in football matches or idk, but I remember Sana being like ?? when exiting the scene after the soundcheck then stayed a bit to hype the crowd some more with Jeongyeon After that we had to wait for the concert, the hype didn't die down and I think some Twice members were peeking from the side because there were some random screamings ? Not too sure, I couldn't see them but then the concert started !
The screams were insane, the chants too ! Or was it because I was in the VIP section? I felt like many people were singing along. Even I was singing, I thought I'd be quiet since I came alone, but I couldn't stop myself singing even the Korean parts I could, in broken Korean (I had never even sung any Korean lyrics aloud before, I'm so sorry for the Onces near me that were filming.. hope I didn't ruin their videos 'cause I can't sing, hopefully it couldn't be heard and apologies to the Korean language as well ) I suppose it's like this in all concerts but since the members pointed it out several times I guess we did a good job ! For the Once vids however.. France fanbase planned for us to karaoke One in a Million, but nobody trained for it, this was an utter failure So sorry Twice, we will train harder next time The same can be said for the dancing, however all the selected Onces were full of happiness it was so cute, especially the girl and the little boy dancing to Feel Special !
Another thing that was great was the equal support to all members ! I was worried because of the incident that happened some concerts ago but thankfully it didn't happen last night. Chaeyoung was also very happy for the cheering we did for her solo stage Dahyun did some joke with the Eiffel Tower, and all the members tried introducing themselves with more or less French ! Them saying merci was the cutest thing ever You guys must watch this on twitter or youtube ! I was also impressed with the scenery, the live band that I didn't notice while spoiling myself with the tour earlier this year. The adaptation of the songs were amazing, especially Feel Special (am I biased because this is my fave and I love rock? probably.)
..just felt the urge to watch fancams so I'll end the thread here Anyway, was anyone else there ?
