Team J Theater Report – Haruka’s Birthday Party

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since my first field report in Renai Kinshi Jourei shonichi, now I’m gonna report the Renai Kinshi Jourei show on February 11th, this show is special due to Haruka Nakagawa’s birthday which falls the day before.

Shadow announcer : Shania.
After overture Stella performed the solo in Nagai Hikari and then the show runs as usual without anything extraordinary.

MC 1 + Jikoshoukai : If in a way; you can’t give a chocolate on valentine’s day, what stuff will you give for your love ones?
Highlights:
Most of members said the same, which to give their heart to the audience, only Kinal and Frieska answer differently (both said that they will give tickets, the only difference is that Kinal will give a ticket to the theater while Frieska will give one to an amusement park)

Unit Song

Kuroi tenshi (Kuroten): Rica-Kinal-Sonia
This song is perfect for Kinal, she shines on stage with her total dance performance, Sonia as last minute replacement for Jeje also show her finesse for being a center in this song, Rica also do the same, she has achieve massive improvement since the beginning of RKJ setlist.

Heart gata Virus (Hagavi): Rena-Haruka-Ayana
They getting better and better, this time Ayana have the chance to do a solo line

Renai kinshi jourei (Renakin): Ve-Stella-Beby
The best unit song of the night, three of them perform excellent, it’s seems that Ve and Beby have a little bit rivalry in the terms of dance, when someone getting better, the other one tries to step up and match them.

Tsundere! :Cindy-Nabilah-Frieska
Frieska is doing an okay job filling Sendy’s original role, but she seems a little bit behind Cindy and Nabilah

Manatsu no Christmas Rose : Delima-Sendy-Dhike-Shania
Nice performance, each other performs the dance as they should be

MC 2 : What Kind of Chocolate that the members like?
Highlights:
A quite funny session, since the members is making fun at each other instead of answering the question, and Haruka is very talkative, she always tried to get involved in the conversations by spilling out some words every time a member thinking what they will said.

2nd group song runs normally

MC 3: The members impression about Haruka
In this session all member speaks out their mind about Haruka but they done it without saying Haruka’s name and replace it with the word “doi” (slang word for “she”) and every time Haruka get curious, they claimed that they’re actually talking about food. Ayana and Delima almost ruin the fun by spilling Haruka’s name but Kinal and Sonia immediately buried it under the hatchet in a very clever way.

[Editor’s Note : I also read some reports via Twitter saying that Rena makes it even more hilarious by talking about food in Japanese and when she starts talking about Haruka, she’s doing it with Bahasa]

Before Ano Koro no Sneaker, Shania announced that they will have a Valentine event on February 14th, the detail will be posted in official Facebook and Twitter.

Encore : Haruka !!!!

After the last song (Oogoe Diamond) Haruka’s birthday party begins. Haruka is shocked when she’s being told that in the MC session earlier the members were all talking about her and she laughed it off. The cake come and everyone on the theater sings “Namida Surprise” and “Happy Birthday.” After Haruka blow the candles, they said there will be a couple of video screening, which surprisingly contains happy birthday message form Yuki Kashiwagi (Yukirin) and Takahashi Minami (Takamina).

After everyone think the show is over, Ayana step forward and said she has a letter from Akicha and she’ll read it for Haruka. But when she read half of the letter, suddenly Akicha appears form back stage and surprises everyone. After reading the rest of the letter (which make Haruka, Sonia and Delima shed their tears), Haruka said thank you for the party and she’ll work hard to make JKT48 successful and she hope everyone will support her. The show over and ended with hi-touch as usual.
