SAS, you probably don’t know what it is or who they are — I didn’t a few months ago. Southern All Stars is one of Japan mythical old rock band.  They have been famous for more than two decades, and have just made a come back after seven years of silence….

And today was the first Tokyo concert of their “World Tour 2005”!  HUGE. Impressive scale! 

The location was Tokyo Dome, the local equivalent of Los Angeles’s Staple Center. The concert was sold out “minutes” after the tickets went on sale.  We were lucky to win a lottery to get ours! 

The place was fully packed with thousands of old and younger fans — a curious mix of people, all united in enjoying the music and the concert’s techno artifacts such as lights (300 spots just for the stage alone!), inside fireworks, lasers, more lights, screens, projections, balloons works, etc.

Akiko and Juju knew all the songs and were jumping and singing together with everyone else (except me, and another little girl seating seemingly bored near us next to her dancing mother).

Great fun for everyone!
