Tea Time Concert chapter 2: Friday Night with Tea Time.
Tea Time was going to a private dinner inn together. While their crew and Sawako managed them setting up their stage for the concert the next night. Mio drove the band to the inn where they were gonna have a private dinner. Yui was in the shotgun seat. The band arrives and get seated at a booth. The waitress gives them the menus and the girls order their drinks.
"So girls, you excited to play tomorrow night?" Mio asked.
"I am!" Yui exclaimed. Even if she was 32 years old, she was still the same Yui when she was 15. Though she had matured over the years, she still was cheerful and a bit clumsy still. The band got their food and talked about Azusa getting married in the fall.
"We have plans but we just don't have a date set yet. Budo's busy with work." Azusa replied.
"Well Azu-nyan, we can help with preparations if you like." Yui said with a smile.
"That'd be nice." Mugi said.
"Indeed." Said Ritsu. After a while the group got their food and ate a wonderful meal. They return to their hotel where they were staying at. It was a big room. Yui and Azusa shared one room, Mugi had a room to herself, and Mio and Ritsu shared the other room. The girls took turns taking showers and getting ready for bed. They had a big event tomorrow after all. Time passed by and it was 10:00 PM Friday Night.
"Say Ritsu, what are you planning on getting Freya?" Mio asked, getting in the bed.
Ritsu was under the covers already and replied, "I don't know...I haven't though about it yet. Maybe a necklace."
"Goodnight Azu-nyan." Yui said and rubs her cheek on Azusa, who blushed.
"Right...night Yui." Azusa said and turns off the lamp light and closes her eyes and falls asleep. Yui was on her phone texting Lan Hikari, her boyfriend, about the show tomorrow night. Mugi was texting Ginti about the show as well.
"Goodnight everyone. Have sweet dreams." Mugi told the other band members.
"Night Mugi!" Ritsu said.
"Night. See you tomorrow morning for breakfast." Mio replied.
"Right." Yui said and lays her head on the soft pillow. The girls fell asleep and awoke up at 10:30 in the morning. Yui was on her computer on the official Tea Time twitter page. She posted a friendly tweet for her followers saying: Good morning Tokyo! Here is tonight's set time for the show. After that the girls got reminded by Sawako that they needed to head to the stadium after breakfast for their soundcheck. Sawako texted the girls to remind them. The girls get ready and head out for their private breakfast.
"Are you all excited to perform our last Diamond Era tour?" Yui asked.
"I know I am. It means a new era begins." Mugi said and smiled.
"I agree." Azusa replied.
"The Keion 3 Era begins." Mio said with a smile. The girls got seated and ordered their breakfast for the day. After that they headed to the Stadium to meet with Sawako to come up with their setlist and do souncheck.
"Welcome girls. We are still setting up the stage, so while the crew works on it, let's talk about the setlist for tonight's show." Sawako said. She was at a table with the band sitting around it and Sawako had paper and pencil.
"Well we should start off with Diamond's opener: A Sky Full Of Stars." Yui said.
"Right." Ritsu replied. "And then we go to 'Brave'."
"Okay. Two songs. Third song?" Sawako looked at the girls for an answer.
"My Love Is A Stapler." Mugi answered with a smile.
"Well we should have a similar setlist from our previous shows." Mio said.
"Yes." Azusa said. "I agree with Mio. That's what we've been doing for the past 16 years. Of course when a new album of ours comes out, we change the setlist."
"Azu-nyan is right." Yui said and checks her phone. She checked the Twitter page and saw many posts on the set times.
"Looks like we got a lot of people going to our concert. Says so here on Twitter. Someone from America is coming! And even England!"
"Wow. They must really love us." Mugi said and sips her tea.
"Of course they do. You girls have been successful for over 12 years." Sawako said.
"We have. Ever since we released K Party back in 2004, our debut album, Fuwa Fuwa Time is still our number 1 song. I'm really happy about that." Yui smiled.
"Yeah." Mugi said. She got up and got more tea for herself. "Should we soundcheck yet?"
"Not yet Mugi, we still got to figure out our setlist." Ritsu said. She leans back in her chair and saw Mio writing songs for the B Stage.
"I really do love covering MegaStar's Always In My Head." Mio said and wrote it down as the first song for the B Stage.
"I do too." Ritsu replied.
"I think I got the entire setlist done. Is this good Sawako?" Mio asked and showed the paper to her. She nods and lets the others look at it.
"Similar to our past concert in New York." Azusa said and got some more tea for herself.
"Alright girls. We're done with our setlist...oh and don't forget our song request for the C Stage."
"Yeah, we got that done." Mio answered. The girls get up and exit the room with Sawako and they head to the stage to take some pictures and do soundcheck. The concert was looming and all five band members were very excited to play their last Diamond Tour concert. And thus begin their 9th album era: Keion 3.
