 2008 tour report Not sure who this guy is but he's got a blog up with lots of pics from the tour. It was linked from the official site.

[quote]3/25/2008 Okey dokey! I'm back! The taxi ride back from the airport was full of scenery. Every time they see red clothes, everyone says 'Matsuzuka?" and gets excited. So, Anime Boston. Over 10,000 cosplayers. It's quite a spectacle (haha). The place was smaller than Yokohoma Arena... okay, it's really huge! I was a little worried though, before it opened there was a really long line! People kept coming in and coming in... There were 5000 people! (amazing!) Even the second floor was packed. The 5000 pillows fans were amazing! They danced! They shouted! They screamed! Of course the FLCL theme 'Ride on shooting star' was out of the ordinary, but everybody really enjoyed the two unpublished songs they included. The intensity from beginning to end of both the stage and audience was a kind of 'GOOOOO!' feeling for all 16 songs. There were hundreds of people lined up for the autograph signing afterward. The little kids were really excited. 'I have to meet my parents at the car in 15 minutes!' one agitated fan said. The pillows idiots that brought posters 10 years ago are increasing. But I was glad. Tomorrow's a press conference. The long but short tour will end. Soon they'll resume recording. This year will continue to be a pillows year! See you in Japan! [/quote]

Those are Nikon pictures, so it might have been the guy walking around with the Nikon SLR taking pictures of everyone.

I think bands like getting things from their fans.
When we gave Sawao that card he was surprised and happy.

He wore the same thing in the airport on the Delicious Bump tour DVD...first thought that came to my mind was protecting himself so he can sing. be it germs or illness or what not, just protecting his throat...

It's common in Japan to wear a face (mouth/nose) mask in public if you're sick. It's a great idea, and it's a shame we don't do it in the US.
