mou ichido!
you just don't know how many times this song and this performance saved my day, its just so perfect. their voices are diversed but it really fits the song, the costumes fit the whole performance, the dance steps, the lights, the whole delivery of the song was really awesome. The first time i heard the song, Yuka-chan's voice just really caught my attention, it was a really powerful, and don't get me started with Tomomi's voice, because she's just so adorable, i have an audio rip of her private video to prove how much i like her voice. Recently I found out that Meetan (Megumi) was just a substitute to complete the trio for MARIA, the original choice was Umeda Ayaka, but she was injured for some reason. The whole mic action thing was really cool, seeing this trio perform just got me drawn to AKB48, these girls are really talented. They're very different from HP, and since there are a lot of girls, they can explore a lot of themes as well. They have hard ass dance moves, powerful vocals and their songs vary from the non-sensical down to the disturbing ones, so to speak. Maria is a really good song and if you get what the song means its a prayer, a prayer that plays over and over in my mind.
as i said, its a prayer...
yuka yuka yuka yuka yuka-chan!!!
Meetan-Hime!
CHRISTMAS VERSION NAA-CHAN DES! (i can't get it off my mind, i swear! XD)
