H!P/related Concerts and Stage Plays

[Denki]

When DAWA is absent, S/mileage becomes a vocally talented group that might sound like if it was a different one.
When Rina is absent, nothing happens since she's not memorable and never gets pushed.

is it just me or is the camera work pretty bad at times?

finished Viva.

Spoiler: show

Love the group song shuffles and Risako totally works that Blonde ponytail look. Dia lady really shined in this concert. Medley was fun, lovin nee senpai.
Loved the opening, it was the best opening for a HP concert I've seen. Definitely better than the Yurushite Nyan thing

Im so sad that Masaki didnt make it for one for all and all for one though.

As annoying as Meimi can be, I love her voice in concerts. Takechan's voice on the other hand is not so good...
Also thank g-d Kanon dropped the whole Cinderella thing, it made me hate her so much for a while. Im glad her cool image is coming back.
If Otona no Tochuu had a better instrumental it could totally be an a-side.

finished bravo.

love the vtr. good morning was interesting.
I love how Sayu admires Kanojo ni naritai Not sure if Green fields actually played instruments though...
HOLY SHIT THAT GATAMETAKIRA opening was so cool! The outifts worked so well. Airi was definitely holding back though. But damn kanyon woah.
I wish we got footage of Suppin Namida. And gay that the OG feature was given to a Miki solo.
Loved Uwasa no Sexy Guy. Really wish we got to see the other performances though.
HP Kids Cha Cha Sing was amazing.

im totally the cgi effects they were great to watch and created sick illusions.

in Bravo, i felt like i was watching Viva again during the first half. i wasn't enjoying this one with the song choices they made..i was forced to skip a lot again, until the medley came up. that was a nice flowing medley.

Bravo medley >> Viva medley

[Sohee]

Only watched Bravo but I liked it. Surprised at how much Riho has grown, vocally. Sakura delivered for sure. Airi was amazing in that Gatamekira performance.
Ikuta, Kudou, Suzuki were like, non-existent though which kinda sucked. If it hadn't been for the MC, so would Iikubo have been.
A bit too many extra performances. Kenshuusei I get, GREEN FIELDS too. But Mikitty's should have been a bonus footage and Tasaki and Kikka? No thanks (I like Kikka, but seriously). I'd rather have 2 shuffled H!P performances.
Reina's and Chisato's "Uwasa no sexy guy" was flawless. Also wondering why the rest of Morning Musume held their microphones when they were dancing to "Watashi no jidai" as none of them sang? lol.

Also realized that, I don't think they have ever pushed seniors of MM as much as they're pushing Reina and Sayumi. Haven't they had several performances during H!P cons by now? I'm not complaining, just a bit funny lol.

In short, I enjoyed the concert. Was sad about the lack of Maachan but still, though I did love that extra footage - so much Maachan focus! Also too few shuffles, give me more H!P and less UF, thanks.

Haven't watched them all but in a way the Maachan focused bonus footage was an even better treat to her fans than if she were performing normally in such a crowded concert. Kinda like a free mini solo-angle DVD . I wish none of the girls would ever have to miss a concert again of course, that kinda goes without saying...

[otaku_blue]

Omg I didnt even realise Momochi was missing...
I prefer Berryz so much without her. LOL wth

[Solarblade]

That's kind of weird, watching the credits and in the Kenshuusei, I see Tomoko, Reina, and Kaede......but Yumeno, Maria, and Sakurako are missing....I wonder what happened 0.o

[Parhelion69]

S/mileage with only the 2nd gen noobs? No thanks (meimi sings ok, but the rest....)

I'll watch Viva as soon as I get home later tonight, I might be tired, so I hope I don't have to skip any performances (well, I never do...)
