Our Nippon Budokan concert.
Since we've been rehearsing every day, I naturally woke up early and ended up going back to sleep multiple times. lol
For some reason, I suddenly got really nervous,
and my heart hasn't stopped racing since around noon!
Even now, my heart rate is crazy high 🥺🥺🥺
I look puffed up here, but this is a pic from a looooong time ago
