Even if you know you will be exhausted later, you should go if your emotions are moved.
Whether or not you have a developmental disability, if you are a nervous or sensitive person, I think places with many people, such as crowded trains, are painful (and very tiring).
If you are in an urban area, it might be helpful to imagine the area around Shibuya Station. In my case, if I stay around Shibuya Station for even 30 minutes, I get so tired that I have to rest.
Even so, there are things you can only get from seeing it with your own eyes or experiencing a live performance.
I basically avoid participating in events because they are mentally exhausting, and at worst, my body cannot handle them.
Even so, there was an event I absolutely wanted to go to, so I bought a ticket.
It was Mao Asada's ice show, "BEYOND."
The venue was the skating rink inside the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park) in Aichi.
Moreover, I had plans the day after the event, so it was a bullet trip from Yokohama and back in one day.
The Shinkansen to Nagoya was fine because I could rest, but the crowded subway train from Nagoya was physically exhausting as I had to stand the whole time.
I arrived two hours before the doors opened, rested slowly in a quiet part of the park, and went to the venue 30 minutes before the show started.
I was surrounded by people, people, and more people. I think there were 3,000 people inside the skating rink. Since she is from Nagoya, I think there were many local fans as well.
(At the end of the event, Mao Asada's grandmother and the teacher who taught her when she was little were introduced as guests.)
Furthermore, it is cold inside a skating rink. It is natural because there is ice, but since it was hot enough to sweat outside, I hadn't thought about it.
Fortunately, I bought a blanket that was being sold at the event. The fabric was not bad, and it was warm.
And once it started, the show unfolded for over 90 minutes non-stop.
If you include the greetings and such, it was nearly two hours. It is truly impressive how they kept the audience engaged without letting them get bored during that time!
It was my first time seeing a professional skating performance, and it was a series of moving moments, with a sense of speed and impact different from what you see on TV.
I watched from a seat, but even so, my body was at its limit after it ended. I canceled everything I had planned for afterward.
I ended up having to spend almost the entire next day resting.
Even so, I am glad I went. There was an experience that you absolutely cannot get from videos or photos.
Recently, VR and virtual worlds have been getting attention, but I don't think they will ever surpass live performances in my lifetime.
It was a weekend where I felt once again that what my teacher told me was not wrong: "When you are truly lost, just go (do it)" and "Let your emotions be your guidance."
If there is something you want to do or a place you want to go, and your heart strongly desires it, you should do it as much as possible.
That will reduce your regrets even a little when you are on your deathbed.
As an aside, although the program costs 2,500 yen, I think you should buy it.
It is difficult to understand the story from the performance, expressions, and costumes alone. The program contained explanations of the themes and highlights.
It is not just for looking back later, but it also serves as a memento.
