God Said was slightly off and there was a long gap before the music at the beginning of Liars started but other than that it was a great show.

The amount that Todd sings throughout the whole concert always amazes me, especially the way he screams in Liars! I can't help but compare it to the state of Meat Loaf's voice during concerts, and there's only a couple of years between their ages.

I especially enjoyed Kasim's bass solo in Born To Synthesise tonight as it seemed to me far longer than at any of the UK concerts. Unfortunately I didn’t recognise any Utopia songs in it (which usually get a big round of applause) and the audience mainly only clapped along when encouraged to do so by Prairie. Sadly a few time during his solo the sound was distorted by the PA system.

After the solos in BTS Todd described it as a "typhoon" (we've just suffered a typhoon in Japan)!

Todd said a few phrases in Japanese which pleased the audience!

Kasim kept his head down quite a bit tonight. Although he smiled a few times, some of his "bounce" seemed to be missing IMHO.

Todd broke a string right at the end of JOV.

The venue was weird though as it was just like an office block and we had to take the lift to the 5th floor! Their camera check was "Do you have a camera?" "No" "Okay, go in"!! Unfortunately security were shit-hot inside and there was no chance of taking a photo as we were in the front row.

The concert cost 7500 yen (about $57) and most Japanese acts that play there only charge 3,000 yen. When we went in there was also a compulsory 500 yen drink ticket that we had to buy! when we exchanged the voucher, there was only a choice of 4 beverages - unfortunately champagne wasn't one of them!

The concert was supposed to have started at 7.00pm but Todd walked on stage at about 7.10pm. It finished at about 9.30pm.

They were selling 3 different types of Liars T-shirts (unfortunately not Prairie’s designed one though) and about 6 different Todd CDs. Unfortunately I couldn't see Quid Pro Quo being sold there.

Kasim wore just his priest outfit for the first section (no hat and no glasses thank goodness!) and in the second part he wore his light pink suit with a white shirt and a brown tie. He took the tie off quite soon and by JOV he'd undone the top 2 buttons of his shirt.

I've never seen Todd wear his glasses as little as he did tonight. He took them off at some point during the first set and then didn't wear them at all during the pimp set.

There was about a 3 foot gap from the front row of the seats to the stage and if anyone got within about a foot from the stage, security were on them to step back! Japanese security do it by crawling along the floor so that they don't obstruct anyone's view which is thoughtful but I wonder how many pairs of trousers they get through?!!

There were quite a few calls for Kasim from members of the audience!

The "mother f**kers" were very weak tonight from the audience - even worse than the UK ones!

This was advertised as a standing show but for some reason it was all seated. It looked almost full but probably would have only been half full if it was standing.

After Todd introduced the Jetsons, he got Randy on stage to wipe his face. Randy was wearing his pimp suit with a very large cross around his neck too.

The sound in the venue was much better (at least where I was) when I was sitting than when I was standing - there was a lot of difference in the quality.

Roll on Osaka tomorrow....!
