[Puzzle DVD] Thoughts on Details - Pre-Purchase
So during lunch time today at work, I saw the details of the upcoming Puzzle Tour DVD...
My first thoughts:
DISAPPOINTED TO THE MAX!!!!!!!!!!!
I (as well as many many others on mixi, haha) had thought that the DVD was going to be from the July 30th show in Osaka. This is why I didn't write a report for that concert - I knew I didn't have to take notes because I will see them on the DVD anyway.
This is very, very disappointing to me. Yes, I'm happy that they're releasing it so quickly, but if they've chosen to put the Tokyo Dome show because they wanted to release it early... then no. I'd much rather have a good quality recap of the tour rather than just putting in the show at the biggest venue and throw in a song or two from the Kyocera show so that they can release it in September. I am just very disappointed because the Tokyo Dome show was so early in the tour!!!! The tour wasn't warmed up yet at that moment. They didn't have adlibs.............. I am SO upset that I won't be able to see the "Yasu mo" "Kimi-kun mo!" during Kicyu, and the "Shoyukoto" "Soussuyone" "Gomashio" during the Eight Ranger skit. I won't be able to see the cute little Sho-chan with dark hair for the whole show (just the bonus track)..............
I wasn't too happy about yesterday's announcement about Hina's dokkiri to begin with, and now this...
I know I'm going to buy both versions anyway, but so far, pre-purchasing, it is waaaaaaaaay below my expectations. I was hoping that they'd throw in like 7 different PVs of their solo songs as bonus. Not a mean prank they played on their bandmate for a full month.
...These are just my initial thoughts after looking at the details for the first time. Maybe the prank on Hina wasn't that mean. Maybe the Tokyo Dome show was just as good as the Kyocera one. Maybe.
...Right now I'm pretty disappointed :-( especially because I was SO excited about the last show being on DVD...
The really good thing about K8 is that they have so little as a "stage set" but still put on a great show. If people who only buy DVDs watch their concert, they'd think that they're just one of those Johnny's groups that use lots of firework, streamers, big screens, expensive stage etc. to put on a show. No......... they're not like that......... Yeah, the dome shows are fun and all but I feel like they act more professional at Domes because of all the "important" people watching. They're more humanlike and relaxed at smaller venues. That's when they shine.
...Sorry for these negative comments for those who are looking forward to the DVDs regardless of which show they put. I wish I felt the same way too, but the shock is a bit bigger this time around especially because me and my friends all got so excited when Subaru said that they were filming for the DVD in Kyocera. I think everyone there thought that the entire show from that day was going to be on the DVD, and there were many who were shocked to see that that wasn't the case.
Maybe I'll be laughing at myself when I read this post over after I watch the whole thing. Maybe I'll be like "Haha, K8 never disappoints me!"
I hope that is true........
