My copy of the DVD arrived today \o/ concert review~
Tokaikko Junjou
- I don't really like what they wore, but the extreme pink sort of helped to make the song more intense than what it was.
- Too many close-ups.
- But the dance near the end ROCKED, as always.
Rating: 3/5
Meguru Koi no Kisetsu
- Strangely, the outfits fit the song imo.
- Lots of close-ups in this one too, but since I think the Meguru dance is mediocre, it's okay.
Rating: 2/5
Sakura Chirari
- The dance wasn't exciting at all. However, the "praise teh Osuzu" movement was a insta-win.
- Umesan and Maimi were really into the perf. Maimi's eyes
Rating: 2/5
ENDLESS LOVE ~I love you more~
- THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! UFA, USE C-UTE'S DANCE SKILLS OR SHOO.
- Megu's lines mostly went to Umesan and Maimai (I think Airi got one). Umesan did a goob job. Maimai did too... on some of them.
- Arikan's body language is amazing.
Rating: 5/5
Time Capsule (Maimi & Nakky)
- Nakky's vocals were very inconsistent, and she didn't havemany expressions either. I wonder why though. When she's with the rest of the group, she's usually one of the most confident girls.
- I like the simple choreography for this one. Very cute.
Rating: 4/5
Honto no Jibun
- This song is still weird. Punkish clothing, a sweet melody, lyrics with some insults, and on top of all, flying guitars.
- I just watched this for Miya slapping Momo.
Rating: 2/5
Tsuugaku Vector (Arikan & Umesan)
- Umesan had a very nasal voice sometimes, but I'm almost forgiving her because she was always on tune.
- I really liked Arikan's voice here. On tune, deep (sometimes she had this high-pitched voice, too
), and emotive. Aaaaaaa.
- Almost no dance here. Sad :<
Rating: 5/5
EVERYDAY YEAH! Kataomoi
- Meh. On C-ute's first concert FC DVDs it's good, because it's just close-ups. But somehow, I don't like when C-ute performs it. The song alone is cute, like a calmer version of Sakura Chirari..
Rating: 1/5
Disco Queen
- WTH THIS WAS CRAZY. I LOVED IT.
- Though I hope that in the future they keep the Disco Queen singers to two, whoever they are. It's def not a group song.
Rating: 5/5
Bishoujo Shinri
- I love this song, it's like Genki+, but less genkier. More emo.
- Arikan and Osuzu sounded great. Sato sounded a bit tired.
Rating: 5/5
Massara Blue Jeans
- Craziness once again. The beggining and the chorus specially.
- Osuzu's falsetto
Rating: 5/5
Futari wa NS
- Some parts of the arrangement are disgusting, in lack of a better word. But I think that someone who's good enough can make a bad song sound great. That someone was Sato, and
my god, she was AWESOME.
- Maimai did good too. She didn't sound as squeaky as usual. Although I wonder if that because she was next to Sato, and in the original version she was next to Kirarin (therefore making her voice a bit more cutesy-animey sounding)

Natsu DOKI Lipstick
- LOL @ MaiSato dancing at the beggining.
- Lipsynched all the way. And it was /so/ obvious. Actually, all Maimi's vocals on the whole concert were lipsynched. Bleh. I hope that they'll NEVER do this again. Be careful with your health Maimi :<
- Positive side: This was hotter than the Natsu doki lipstick Golden date performance. Maimi's hair wasn't as appropiate tho.
Rating: 4/5
That's the POWER
- Tsukatta TOWEL lol. Why would someone bring a towel to a concert? Doesn't matter, it made the perf stand out. As usual, they all sounded good.
Rating: 3/5
As ONE
- Song reminds me of The Beatles's Come Together + Strawberry fields forever.
- The dance is pure genious. Not crazy, not sexy, not cute, but like a mix of those and still creative.
Rating: 5/5
YES! Shiawase
- The dance was so cute <3 even hilarious at some points lol.
- lololol @ the infamous MaimiSato kiss. Sato was really happy to kiss Maimi
- I still can't tolerate most of the song, but I'm starting to like the chorus.
Rating: 4/5
Bokura no Kagayaki
- I prefer it when it's just Sato, Arikan and Umesan. Their vocals go well with this kind of song. And Arikan didn't get to grope Umesan in this group version :<
- But thanks to all the group being present, there was actually a dance.
Rating: 4/5
JUMP!
- Poor girls, the concert is about to finish and they have to sing this. Though they all had an exceptionally good voice, even the squeaky ones managed to control their vibratto.
- Not a fan of the JUMP x3 part, but I always look for the ones who jump higher. Winner was Sato, runner-up: Arikan.
- Maybe an outfit change would have been nice...
Rating: 5/5
Ooki na ai de motenashite
- Oh yeah, change the outfit in the WRONG song. Great.
- Sweet and sugary perf. Like the song.
- Osuzu used her "buono" voice.
Rating: 4/5
Wakkyanai (Z)
- The tapdancing is what made this dance stand out from the others, and become a "star" dance in H!P. Without the dance, it's still awesome though.
- Umesan's eyeliner was a disaster xD
Rating: 5/5
Extra: First Kiss
- I know Airi's not the emo-looking from Aa anymore. But does she have to be SO cute?
- Her dance moves were dramatic. She's got passion for what she does. You've got such a bright future ahead Osuzu-san.
- I didn't care for the clothing this time. She could be wearing a Sailor Moon outfit and it'd be the same confident Osuzu that I love.
