UlasanAnime.com – The second day of Anime Boston 2014 featured a JAM Project concert, offering fans an electrifying experience with their beloved musical group.
While the press session was still an hour and a half away, the author wanted to document key moments from the live performances.
The fan panel was attended, though it was a mixed experience. Nevertheless, some humorous anecdotes could still be extracted from it.
Fukuyama’s presence was as impactful as expected, with JAM Project’s performances significantly differing with or without him. A humorous incident occurred when someone had to retrieve a friend’s king blade mid-song, a task likely prompted by Fukuyama’s dynamic stage presence.
During the “SKILL” performance on day two, Fukuyama impressively threw a pineapple about ten feet into the air and caught it bare-handed. The origin of the pineapple remains a mystery, although it was revealed that a fan had brought it to the stage.
The turnout for the concerts at Boston was considered decent. The main concert likely drew around 2,000 attendees, while the second concert had approximately 1,000. The lower turnout for the second day might be attributed to its late start time of 11 PM, concluding at 12:30 AM.
This late timing also meant that the ticketing system was somewhat relaxed, allowing attendees to obtain tickets at any point during the convention, which was seen as a positive by some. The main auditorium has a seating capacity of roughly 5,000 to 6,000, including balcony seats.

The availability of laid-back balcony seats was appreciated, adding to the overall concert experience.
On the second day, some VGO/Berkley VIPs, who were apparently friends of Asa-nee and the convention organizers, were seated in the center aisle. The author humorously noted the enthusiastic reaction of two Japanese girls when Dani performed his OP solo.
Additionally, a few attendees ran up to the stage at the end of the performances to present flowers to the band members.

The song “MASK” featured a live band, and the bass solo during this performance was particularly striking and memorable.
