So, as I
posted in the collection thread, my Types A and B came in today (hopefully the other three types tomorrow) and so I thought I'd post my opinions on all the DVDs (just checking out the CDs now...) I already really love the main song ever since I first heard it.
Rappa Renshuuchuu PVThe main problem with this is that the brightness was oversaturated so everything looked washed-out and pastelly. It also had these checkered borders at the top and bottom of the screen. If I hadn't read somewhere that it was to show an evolution of the trumpet playing through the ages I don't think I would have figured that out either (I'm quite unobservant). I don't really like seeing OreSkaBand mime their intstruments on the TV show performances, so seeing Mayu miming the trumpet even more here doesn't appeal much to me. Mayu looked really great in the second outfit here (the one she doesn't wear in the TV performances), which I'd never seen before. But it really flattens her already flat chest
My favourite PV of hers is by far the
Otona Jelly Beans one!
Rappa Renshuuchuu PV making ofI really enjoyed this! The colours weren't messed with and it was full screen so just looked a lot better than the actual PV. And also, you got to see Mayu in her playful state. Really fun!

This was
absolutely fantastic! I can only imagine what it must have been like for
YKT to actually be there. I would happily pay for a full DVD of this show, or any of her live events, really. This was what I was most looking forward to on this release, and it didn't disappoint. Despite being only 14 minutes long, it fit in a lot of songs and also showed a little behind-the-scenes stuff were Mayu was really cute. The crowd were really great with their glowsticks and mixing as well. And Mayu changed into three costumes and did stuff on a little platform into the crowd and some motorised thing which let her travel around a lot of the crowd, great stuff
I already watched it a second time straight after the first one and will probably watch many times in the future.
Honto ni Rappa Renshuuchuu (Type A)
In this ~18min video, Saki from OreSkaBand has to teach Mayu how to play the trumpet intro from Rappa Renshuuchuu in one hour! Starting from the very basics of playing the trumpet. It was really good seeing someone learn an instrument like that. And funny seeing how she struggled with simple stuff like the G note when they did C-D-E-F-G near the beginning and really progressing very fast. It was also really good because it was the first time we've heard
any of this single performed live, and the instruments are a real strong point. Really looking forward to the upcoming
live Music Fair performance. This was a great feature, and I plan to watch it again soon!
