What do the Japanese symbols on the band's chest mean? Boz in drag again...

The symols mean 'man' or 'male'. Full concert write up here regarding why Boz is dressed as a geisha etc: http://followingthemozziah.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/following-mozziah-day-218-thursday-19th.html

And a whole load of crazy conspiracy shite as well. I don't think it's going to go down well if you start plugging your other crazy mental breakdown blog.

[celibate]

what a suprise, the setlist:mad:

[Kewpie]

It was a very good start of the tour.

Video clips started around 18:45

A man announced the class is about to begin
Mighty Joe - Shocking Blue
Whole A Lot Of Shaking Going On - Vince Taylor
Edith Sitwell interview
Bubble Gum - Brigitte Bardot
All Over The World - Françoise Hardy
James Baldwin interview
Like A Tiger - Fabian
Never Turn Back On Mother Earth- The Sparks
I'm Looking For A Kiss - NYD
Lypsinka

The backdrop was a new, possibly a scene of a film (a man was lying on a woman on the sofa), unable to identify both of them.

Morrissey and the band were on stage on 19:00.
Morrissey was in a black cardigan with gold lame and denim, Boz in black sequin dress and others were topless with a Chinise character 男(means man in Japanese) written on their chest with denim.
Morrissey said kon'nichiwa (hello) and started singing Everyday Is Like Sendai (hope someone will post a scan of the setlist because it was written as Everyday Is Like Sendai).
After either Everyday is like Sunday or First of the gang to die, Morrissey was trying to say thank you in Japanese (arigato), but what I heard was obrigado.
I got a hand shake during Black Cloud!
The intro of Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loves Me was different, the audience became quiet which prompted him to say "you don't care, nobody cares" before started singing. It was a surprise and the highlight of the show.

I'll add more later.

[Satlook]

How many Viva Hate songs did he play? And how many bitter & sour comments did he make about it's non-existent album chart position?

Oh no it's eric again!

[Satlook]

what a suprise, the setlist:mad:

Celibate,

maybe you can turn some " The Smiths " records ?

It makes no sense to wait for a reunion.

[Satlook]

Eric Hartman and Celibate,

Why do you always something to whine?
Comentaar always negative, if you no longer can listen to morrissey.
Don't listen to the men anymore.

The people in Sendai have a wonderful evening. :thumb:

Kortom stop met zeiken :mad:

[Gentler Words]

Looks like a great set! A nice mix of old/new and hits/album cuts, etc.

[CrystalGeezer]

I am so angry with myself that I followed that link.

Shit. Then I went and followed it to see what made you angry now I'm angry with myself too! Lol.

[CrystalGeezer]

I'll add more later.

Thanks Kewpie. Glad you got a handshake. :love:

[Anonymous]

Don't be angry, it's actually very informative. It says that the backdrop is French actress Dominique Sanda. Somebody called Romina tweeted it, didn't she use to post on here?

[profitinyourpoetry]

what a suprise, the setlist:mad:

What are you complaining about? you live thousands of miles from Japan, you weren't at the gig..indeed as far as i can see you barely leave the house.

[Iona Mink]

LOL.

Possibly it could be regarded as informative but the superfluous nonsense that I refuse to repeat here ruins all creditability. I mean now I question is that information about the backdrop correct? Any chance of photographic evidence?

Was it something similar to this? ~

http://www.humanities.uci.edu/fvc/w05pics/theconformist.jpg

taken from Bertolucci's 'Il Conformista' (1970).

An earlier twittpic teased with this ~

http://instagr.am/p/Jmb8mpue7B/media/?size=l

which I thought looked very much like Stefania Sandrelli in that scene (the dimpled chin gave it away). And your description of the image makes me think it must be. Good choice, if it is 'Il Conformista'; Bertolucci's best, and a stunning work of cinematography by Vittorio Storaro, especially in the scene used in the backdrop. Also, Dominique Sanda co-starred in the film, which may be the cause of some earlier confusion. It doesn't look like Sanda on the backdrop, far more like Sandrelli to me.

Enjoy the tour :)

Hey Iona, yesterday I was flipping channels and I stopped on a movie for a few minutes where Phillip Seymour Hoffman was playing a man in full drag with a sparkly dress and wig and everything and some thugs were beating him up and Robert Dinero came in and shot at the men then Phillip Seymour Hoffman got away then the thugs chased him into the stairwell and they tumbled down the stairs together while in pursuit (then I changed the channel because I had no idea what was going on and it seemed like a movie I wanted to watch later in it;s entirety.) Anyway, based on what Morrissey said about Boz falling down the stairs drunk and the geisha taking his place, maybe I should start a blog because COULD IT JUST BE A COINCIDENCE? :rolleyes:

[Anonymous]

Kewpie got a handshake, did she merge his hand with Robert Smith's hand? That would've been grand.

Sounds like you are describing a film called Flawless. It's not bad.

The thing is the "coincidences" are not even coincidences.

Examples, we said Morrissey would come out wearing pants. He did! Coincidence?

We said Morrissey would put a sign on the drum kit outlining his future plans for world domination. He had a backdrop showing a man and a woman!!! Coincidence?

Ugh, not talking about this any more. The end on the topic from me.

I wonder why Boz wearing wig, the other half naked, they sometimes wearing the same T-shirts on.....

Morrissey wrapped his apron around his waist and it looked like he got his period on his white wedding dress. He's the girl. Immortal Symmetry. Can we be done now? ffs :rolleyes:

EDIT: I'm kidding. Just frustrated.

No she let him know that he'd already been there in 91 and 02 and then provided him with a link to those gigs.

Thank you Joe! I think you're right! I saw the backdrop on twitter and it was'nt so clear and I thought about D. Sanda just for suggestion, I don't remember quite well the movie, but quite better the novel written by Alberto Moravia, one of the most important italian writer and close friend of P. Pasolini. I'm very happy for the tour and can't wait to see him in Italy! Romina.

I don't know about wedding dress. Along those same lines it looks more to me like the bed sheet some cultures hang out after the wedding night to prove the bride was a virgin.

Hey, wait, does that mean the Kewpie is not moderating for the time being?

I've found other tweets that they also got autographs at the station from Moz.
He was very kind for fans.

[the ? in question could most likely be francoise hardy with all over the world.
from a south american concert 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKMG8Yc7qZc&hd=1
whole clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMuNv9HiCI8[/flash]
he has used this on the south american tour just a month ago..
if not,its a completly new clip.
thanks so far.
could you remember anything from the audio? did he use some songs he used in 2011 like
shockheaded peters or thst spoken word thing by gertrude stein?

did morrissey came on stage to the sound of bells and leave the stage to klaus nomi like it was reported in south america?

[Kewpie]

Did Morrissey came on stage to the sound of bells and leave the stage to Klaus Nomi like it was reported in South America?

Yes.


Morrissey changed his shirt at the end of Meat Is Murder, he came back in a lilac shirt with white embroidary.

Then he changed to a red shirt before Let Me Kiss You and threw it to the audience (one of my friends was standing near a lucky person who got it).

He was in a white shirt until the end, appeared on stage in a yellow shirt at encore, threw it to the audience at the end.

At one point a member of the audience asked "is that Boz?"
Morrissey replied "no, it's beautiful geisha called Gaynor. Boz was drinking and fell from the stairs. Sadly he's in serious condition (sic)"

Morrissey handed a mic to Julia and Chris, they thanked him. A Japanese fan(?) said "we all love you, Morrissey".

There was a guy who kept shouting "Morrissey" all the time, in the end Morrissey seemed annoyed with his persistence.

Regarding Action, Scandinavia and People, Morrissey seemed bit of disappointed with the reactions of the audience.

He was in a good spirit and his singing was in top form.

I'm sorry that my memory is bit hazy, hopefully a bootleg will be surfaced somewhere then I could remember more details.

I bet tomorrow's Club Citta Kawasaki will be one of the most memorable nights of this tour.

[sistasheila]

Yes.

why -because its a small venue?

1,300 standing, similar to venues that he plays in the Netherlands, Norway or France. But of course, as it is Japan and Kewpie will be there, it will be extraordinary. What else.

Kortom stop met zeiken :mad:

he plays this setlist for one and a half year

I'd say, with the re-release of Viva Hate

skip Fatty, and do Angel , or A. cousin

He tours different parts of the world, and they have a great night,
but for the critical follower I find it a bit cheap to just play the same
songs, with some songs changing

I'm f.cking 47..may I have a right for me opinion

I paid for his all his solo albums, so stop moaning about a reunion
because I know it's not coming, maybe Marr and Morrissey will share stage together

what are we without hope and dreams

[Iona Mink]

Club Citta gig is sold out, hope you understand the significance.

Hi Kewpie, any chance of sharing the secret of the significance with us?

[CrystalGeezer]

Ummmm, not a lot of people get Kewpie all the time (including me) but Kewpie is pretty awesome. So if she's there, it will be extraordinary. Though I'm pretty sure that's not what she was driving at, just that all small venues are cool to see a gig at.

[Dave2006]

Not really. And in the absence of PJLM, google will have to suffice http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/morrissey/1995/club-citta-kawasaki-japan-43d7d7ab.html

Is it significant because he played there in '95? Why else would it be significant?

Thanks Joe, and to kewpie for the report.

I like this picture of the band. I think those signs look very well, sartorial even. :cool: Could they also stand for 'human being' , bearing in mind the substitute track in the recently re-released Viva Hate?

I did a bad thing in my life, I lost Morrissey show in Brazil (2012), I still can´t believe it!
For me he is wonder, brilliant. I saw him in Brazil (2000) , I enjoyed a lot, was so good!
In that great show I looked at his eyes all the time, and the second, when he looked at me, I screamed "I love you"!
I really hope he can came here again!

is nico with" Im not saying"?

Sendai was the first time I ever saw Morrissey live.
One of the touching moment of the show was, when he sang "...Let me get what I want Tonight" instead of "...Let me get what I want this time" on "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Wan t ".
I don't know if he's been singing that way in other places, but I think everyone got what they wanted that night, or maybe more.
