Long time no post... again. Happy New Year!
Well to start the New Year off right I headed to see the winter Hello Project concert, titled Mobekimasu this year to encompass all their names. I want to see Shuffle Date too, which is another concert with them shuffled into revival groups. I kinda wish that had been the one I'd gotten off auction as I really want to see it. Am still trying to see if there is any chance of cheap/cost ticket for tomorrow or Thursday but probably not.
As usual no song play by play but rather highlights.
Someone (thought it was Erika at first until I remembered she was no longer around, I think it was Maasa now) missed their cue on Bon Kyu Bon Kyu Bomb so it was half the background vocals (akaTsunku) until she remembered to come in.
Berryz new song is awesome. I mean I've liked all their double A-sides but the second one was too similar to the first. The new one still goes with these weird pink vinyl outfits but they're cute. My Saki looks good in short-shorts. It's a very fun crowd-involving song.
The S/mileage girls seem to be gaining more confidence. I mean yes this is the first time I have seen them live but still they did great on both of their songs. Was kinda strange seeing their 4th indies (Otona ni narutte katai shi) performed as it isn't being released until March but I guess they figured since every other group got atleast two songs that was the best way to do it. I wavered between Yuuka and Kanon for who I would favorite in the group ( you have to pick one, seriously for goods it is necessary to pick ONLY one) but then... I was buying goods and suddenly just blurt out "And one Kanon daily picture please". So I guess my mind made itself up. Although Yuuka played a brilliant Amu in the Shugo Chara musical, Kanon is just so adorable. Seriously
here's a pic to show you her adorableness. Well it's her blog but her pic is up top. She's almost 15 and has a strong voice and a great personality. S/mileage is a group making its major debut this spring.
Morning Musume's new single is growing on me. I wasn't too sure about it until I saw it live. And althoug they wore wedding dresses on crack that were both awesome and scary, the song is catchy. I hope the release date will be on a day I can go. It's a fun song, and since Musume is the biggest group for me I loved that they had the most songs. Yeah unfair to other groups but great for me as I can dance and shout to them better than others.
C-ute just looks weird with only five girls. They need to add members.
Junjun, my beloved Junjun, WHY WAS YOUR HAIRSTYLE LIKE KOHARU'S USUALLY WAS? I mean I know you were her friend but from the distance I was at I seriously thought Koharu had come back for a couple of concerts. ... Please JJ don't do the poofy updo as a permanent thing. You.. you don't look good in it.
Well I'm tired and not much more to say.
Basically goodswise I bought a ton as usual. But not that much, only spent about $160 (15,000 yen) so not bad at all. The problem is the other concert going on at same time as I really want atleast a couple of the things from it so might go get some on thursday even if I don't have a ticket.
Anyways I'm off to bed. As usual my mood was lifted the moment the concert started, that's what my idols do. And I love them for that.
