Saitama Super Arena, Tokyo, Japan [Feb 13th & 14th, 2016]

[MLVC123 126]

Yes bless her voice. She's prob not feeling that great. Nicki has a bad throat too. Prob due to jetlag & tiredness &/or the changes in weather.

you have no idea how she's feeling. lol. 

[Gargamel 8,775]

Simple question: Is there a particular reason why the show was starting earlier than usual last night? (around 8 pm according to NOM)

It was a matter of curfew or something like that? (as in UK)

[madgefan 10,137]

I think her early entry was due to the promo she's doing for MDNA Skin in that same city 

 

Did you guys see the Unapologetic Bitches?? They were super cute, there was a moment I thought they were crying and Madonna asked if they were shy  They also gave her her own GIANT banana LOL

 

[Madame Madonna 4,107]

uhhh. I'm sorry to say this..but Japanese audience are the worst audience ever. Not just Madonna concert.

they give wrong impression about asian to the whole world.

I mean this is not a classic opera concert or funeral isn't it? but their silence reactions are.. just...uh...

 

for example when Madonna joking about "enthusiasm" after Material girl performance.

You can clearly hear groans from audience. No one even laugh. 

They acting like "Oh my god~ we are not enthusiasm enough! oh my god so-Ooo deska~~ semimaseng~~~semimaseng~~"

 

I mean blondiboy559 said "Can't believe I once said they are usually very reserved, I take it back" this at Bangkok thread but well he probably got that impression from these japanese audience. And if he saw this Japan show he gonna take it back again. LOL

Hey, I haven't seen/heard any videos yet but I get the impression they were a bit reserved ?  I'm glad the seating went up to the stage at least  from the pics i've seen.

You're right! Bangkog and taiwan audience were amazing!! But these Japanese audience were so reserved and so serious...so passive..

I'm not even...sigh...

[Breathless 5,286]

Japanese audiences most often act in a respectful way, and that's watching the show in silence. TBH some other countries can be too crazy which I dont like either lol

LOL that's so true! I know that it is the their cultural thing but I still feel bad for the pop star which sing for them 

I mean I can easily find this kind of video at youtube.

 

pop star : OK everybody sing along!

 

Japan audience : (Silence)...

 

Pop star : Common!! Sing together!!!!

 

Japan audience : (Dead silence just staring politely) ................

 

Pop star : (very desperate and frustrated) Common Let's sing together Please!!!!   Please!!!!

 

Japan audience : (Dead silence).

 

LOL

[Fighter 28,797]

lol yeah but I think experienced artists like her know how japanese audiences are. Its true that this tour has a lot of interaction so its maybe a bit awkward?? i remember Beyoncé talking about this also

super_hero_tonyTokyo Show #Ni. Great reception last night, Thank You. I have always felt a connection to Japan. When I would dream about visiting other countries before I ever left the US Japan was first on the list. And that's exactly what happened. In the 70's I came for the first time on vacation with Kenny Rogers his wife and my partner. It was everything I thought it would be. When our cast was taking this picture I ask if I could join because I believe in a past life I was Japanese ( an Emperor - I mean if your going to dream ) they said yes and they taught me this pose. Ai, Bambi,Aya, Tony Chan, Maria, Sohey, Lisa in front and Noriko was working like always so not pictured. So many family members came. It's amazing to share they were so Proudâ—â¤
