So I have a question about wotagei....
I've got a goal of making it to an Expo/Mirai at some point within the next few years. As I watch concert videos occasionally, I've been thinking that it ought to be part of my goal to prepare myself for that eventuality by doing some wotagei training. (So occasionally, yes, I sit by myself watching a concert video and shake my empty fist along with the music :) . )
This isn't so much about preparing for intricate, song-specific movements (though that could become part of it at some point); it's more about the physical aspect of it. (Most wotagei, from what I've observed, is simple--you just keep time with the music, faster/slower in some spots.) It's not that any one movement is hard, but I have to think that basically no one is generally prepared for holding their arm(s) over their head and shaking them 2 times per second or faster (or slower sometimes) for two hours straight (That's just an estimate; 120 BPM is standard pop speed, I've read.). If everyone in the audience really did that, probably there would be 75% of them who couldn't move their arms for a week afterward.
So I guess I'm trying to get a feel for how...I don't know, demanding?...the concert experience really is. I really want to do everything that's part of the concert experience/that you're supposed to do as a member of the audience, so ideally I'd be making an estimated 14,400 (120 arm shakes per minute x 60 minutes x 2 hours) arm shakes over the span of 2 hours. But do people really do that?
