Animelo Summer Live 2012 -INFINITY-
OnoD performed on the second day of Animelo Summer Live (Anisama) on August 26. This year’s theme was “infinity.” The venue Saitama Super Arena, which has a capacity of about 15000, was packed to the brim.
The first performance was by ST*RISH from UtaPri. OnoD was 6th. Yellow glow sticks were cracked the moment DELIGHT began to play and out came OnoD in a white suit. The dancers were present and were the same people as the ones at OrePara except for the red guy. The atmosphere was definitely much different than OrePara since it was a much larger venue and approximately 70% of the crowd was guys. Still, there were a lot of OnoD fans amongst them. A guy behind me was a Dear Boy since he had the towel from the DGS4LO event. I didn’t see too many people wearing OnoD’s shirt from OrePara 2011 but out of the people I did see wearing it, they were all guys! (I saw three.) That was kind of amusing. Again, because of the larger venue and different crowd, you couldn’t hear the audience sing along as clearly as at OrePara.
After DELIGHT was Netsuretsu ANSWER. DELIGHT was mostly sung at the back at center stage whereas Netsuretsu ANSWER was sung on the hanamichi walkway. During the riff, the dancers carried OnoD around as if he were a mikoshi (portable shrine). XD My seats were kind of far back so I didn’t have a great view but as always, OnoD was an awesome performer. He only sang two songs and came out for the encore where everyone sang this year’s Anisama theme song, INFINITY ~Sennen no Yume~. I think most fans were hoping that he would sing his latest song, Lunar Maria, but I guess we’ll have to wait until OrePara in December.
Anisama is always released on DVD and BD so we can look forward to one in the future. =D The full set list can be found here.
