Irene, I saw the photos just before now! Yeah, he didn't hand the
crane to staff, he was holding it while he was walking to main stage
from B-stage!!

Nick-san, thank you very very much for sharing the photos...

Thanks to Ray for grabbing this shot from his video on 12/4.

You can see only a few, but they are there.  Yay!!!!!

One of them could be me since I was somewhere in that area...lol, with

I'm still waiting for the footage from my family.  :D

Ingrid, I really look forward to seeing your photos.  I did not take
any pictures myself, so I'm appreciating the images shared by everyone.

This show was just incredible!  I think it was the best that I have
seen over the past 20 years.  U2's energy was high in response to the
crowd, and they had such a great time out there.

Smiles.

Hello Yumi.

This couldn't have been without you.  Thank you SO much for opening
your heart and allowing me to drive you crazy.  HUGS.

It was a pleasure to have you at our family's house.  You're a sweet
part of the memories there this weekend.

Yes Loic, thank you very much for running around the GA lines passing
out the cranes.  A member in interference.com remembers you and Yumi
well.  You were a big help out there in reaching the fans.

Mark, we look forward to hearing from you about how things are going
for your wife and family.  Thanks to you we got a good boost of warmth
outside of that meet and greet.  The coffee was good too.  ;)

More details keep coming in about this amazing night.  :D

Hello hello everyone :)

I write about what I did doing on Dce 3rd and 4th (it's like a my
diary, I think).

At Dec 3rd. I visited to Kato family's house at Chofu city in Tokyo
(Irene's husband's home).
Irene and Yui were waiting for me near the Chofu station. And I
finally met them there!
And they took me their home and I met Eiko chan, Kiyomi san and some
Kato families. They are very kind and sweet.
Irene and Yui showed me the banner of zootopian for Hottokenai what
they made. It's amazing and fantastic.
I'm very happy that I signed my name on it first!

At Dce 4th. I met Irene, Yui and Kiyomi san at the cafe near the
arena.
And went to John lennon museum.
And we went to E-2 gate of the arena.
There are already many fans in front of the gate to wait for the
band's arrival.
We met Carly, Mark and some Zootopians there. (Mark, thank you for
coffee!)
And Irene showed to people the banner that she received from
Patrick, and showed Hottokenai's banner. And Irene and Yui explained
about the banners to everyone there.
I was very happy that many people signed on it!
Also we were passing the cranes to people there and we moved to
around N gate, and then we were passing the crane there. Ken,
Masanori and Loic helped us to pass the crane to people there, thank
you!!

And 6pm, we entered to the arena. And Yui, Kiyomi san and me stayed
together in front of Adam's B-stage. And we were passing the cranes
to people at around Adam's and Edge's B-stage. I was very happy that
some people helped us to pass the cranes to other people!!

I'm now thinking of those moments...Irene and Yui, you guys are
wonderful, and I respect you.

And thank you very much, everyone.

Hugs
Yumi

Everyone! Everyone!....

I just got in from Japan and I'm physically and emotionally dizzy with
the whirlwind of events.

It was beyond fabulous being there with your peace cranes and the
banner too.

Peace cranes were passed out to many at the meet and greet, people in
the brief GA lines, and then most of them inside the GA itself. If you
could have only seen Yui, Ken, and I running like hell with the bags
of cranes to get inside. It was a bit crazy, but they did make it inside.

Yui grabbed a spot at Adam's B-stage with my niece and sister-in-law
and passed them out there. I aimed for the front rail and got one
person back front Bono and just handed out cranes backwards and
sideways with the help of our friends Masanori and Ken. It was a
super tight squeeze in there as I could hardly reach down to get them
at times, but we did our best. Other fans around us helped as well so
that was great.

I can't tell you how surprised I was to see Bono with a crane in hand
during First Time. I managed a peek at the screen and saw it in his
hand! I screamed, "OMG, it's a crane. He has a crane." One guy
behind asked if those were the ones. He was excited too. Really, I
thought I was seeing things in the midst of my true vertigo. Sure
enough, he walked back toward main stage with it in hand,held it while
walking across the front, and then put it down Edge side. Oh my!!!

Yumi, I can only imagine how you felt at that moment happen right in
front of you. Viva Italia!!!! Isn't it great that they didn't wait
til ONE? LOL.

I wonder whose crane he held. It could have been one of yours. :D

Really, it's such a HUGE moment that you all helped create!!!! Bono
held one of our cranes for ONE/Hottokenai on stage in
Saitama!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo!!! Hee hee.

Once Bono started talking about Hottokenai and the Global Fund, I took
out the special crane that I made in Noreen's honor and held it up
high. I didn't see anyone else do it yet, but once Bono started to
sing, I saw at least 10 around me come out. We were all right in
front of Bono holding these cranes while he sang. I was thrilled that
he might see them and that these fans were into it. It's also cool
that he held a crane earlier and possibly read the ONE/Hottokenai
written on there meaning that he would know what all of these cranes
in the air were for. Bono, you're not alone in your work.

Nick, a new U2 friend of ours, was right on the rail just on Bono's
right. He said that Bono's face lit up when he saw them. :D Me
might even have a picture, but I'm not sure. Nick said that he'll
share what he has once he's back in the States.

Yui, my niece, and Kiyomi, my sister in law, have incredibly amazing
video footage of when he picks up the crane. They also have ONE where
you can see some of the cranes up high. I'll let you know once they
have them ready to share.

I'm most happy about the reaction of a good number of fans, mostly at
the meet and greet, to the cranes. Teamed up with the banner they
really expressed interest in getting involved and active. For a few
it was their first time learning about the cranes so I got to
introduce them to Sadako as well. One fan from Korea said he'd like
to get a group working in Korea as they don't have anything like ONE
there. :)

Hello hello, everyone!!!!

I'm back!

At the Dec 4th show, I'm surprised that someone who were behind me
threw the crane for Bono who was at Adam's B-stage that was happend
during they played "First time", and Bono picked it up!! I saw his
face at that time, he was smiling during he looked at the crane.
That's amazing and I was so happy!!!!

ONE!! Sooo it was beautiful and it was wonderful!!!!

Hello hello, everyone!!!!

I'm back!

At the Dec 4th show, I'm surprised that someone who were behind me
threw the crane for Bono who was at Adam's B-stage that was happend
during they played "First time", and Bono picked it up!! I saw his
face at that time, he was smiling during he looked at the crane.
That's amazing and I was so happy!!!!
And many people held up the crane and waved it during they played
ONE!! Sooo it was beautiful and it was wonderful!!!!

Thank you very very much, everyone!!!!

Is everyone still recovering??  Trying to return to life after a U2
concert?  Am dying to hear how it went and how the concert was.  Saw
some photos on Flickr from the 1st two shows...looked awesome.  Was
interesting reading Willy's diary on U2.com talking about how the
outdoor stage just barely fit in the arena.  Am gonna hold my breath
until someone tells me about the last concert...don't let me turn blue
and pass out...lol!

Am just thinking of all of you who will be gearing up for the concert
tonight and wishing it is everything you have hoped for.

The interviews I've seen posted from Asahi TV have been fun to watch...
not to mention the rooftop performances, and Bono's voice sounds
perfect.

Can hardly wait for Hawaii!

Hi everyone:

I`m in Tokyo and would like to catch the 12/4 show but don`t have
tickets yet. Does anyone have a pair they want to sell?

Were there many people selling tickets at Saitama Super Arena before
the 11/29 and 11/30 shows? Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Johnny Rhythm

Coming from Nagoya as well.  Only making it to the 29th show :(
thanks to the cons of teaching in a small english school where im
one of the only gaijin teachers ---
Not complaining though, Im just happy to see the boys period.
