my friends and i discussed the real-ness of megumi's glasses for like, 4 days straight, and eventually found some pictures where her face was being refracted through them, so yeah, they're real, but probably a real real low prescription

She probably used to wear contacts; a bunch of Morning Musume members do. I bet she started wearing them when she saw that they helped her stand out. Not to mention it's one more thing to accessorize with.

Not to mention they makes her look super fucking SEXY!!

Watched a bunch of older Utabans, ones where she never wore her glasses. And I barely noticed her, watched a few older H!Ms, more recent Utabans and noticed her alot more. Glasses go so good on her that I hope she never takes them off.

The fact she even wears them on stage when she sings is also pretty cool

I love the way they blend together, and the consistency...

Grab the FLETS Police Chief for a Day @ The Asshole

yet Shibata remains the favorite for me, just an innocence about her. Even when she's humping legs:

Grab the FLETS Shibata talks about Ishikawa @ The Asshole

I never said megumi's glasses didn't make her sexy

we were just questioning the real-ness.

I'm more of a Saitou fan though

Well, there are 3 concert DVDs actually. They're all really good concerts though. The first one is high energy greatness since it's their first tour. The second has a really nice feel to it since it's a Christmas live. There are some really good performances. My favorite, though, is the third one, Just for the simple reason that there is a TON of tour footage. If you like watching the girls goof around during rehearsal, get this DVD. Plus, you get to see the craziness of an idol group performing at Chicken George (a famous rock live venue).

Do you happen to have a amazon.co.jp link for that (there are several 'Chicken George' performances, and I do not have the Kanji for 'MKB' handy

Thanks, Vigo.

Looking at the setlists for the 1st and 3rd concert DVDs, I'm torn between these two. The tour footage sounds awesome but, if judging by the performances alone, which one would you suggest?

Here's an Amazon link for their 3rd concert DVD;

Wish list is almost long enough again for a special order

(Maki and Ai-chan are already on)

Well, the actual concert is about an hour and forty minutes on both the first and third dvd even though there are 60 extra some odd minutes of footage on the third DVD. It's been a while since I've seen the first concert (my friend owns that one, I own the other two) so I don't remember how the performances were all that well. I think a lot of them got tired towards the end, so there may have been more running around which I think made a couple of parts not so good vocally (but still great to watch).

The third DVD has no such problem and Melon sounds wonderfully for the whole thing. The solo and duet songs are fantastic. There's not a whole lot of bells and whistles during a Melon concert and what's listed on the DVD is what you get.

The MCs for the first and second DVD are pretty weird and they both have those weird movies where it becomes evident that Melon can't act. The third DVD's MCs are a little more normal with a (boring but short) poem for the first one (in both english and japanese), the second is Murata and Shibata doing stupid things to the olympics.

There are a couple songs that are sorely missed on the third DVD, such as Amai Anata no Aji, Skip, and ANNIVERSARY but I feel that the selection of Melon songs and the two covers are more than sufficient to make it a buyable DVD.

So...I guess I recommend the third one. It's a close call really, but the individual songs were a great way to showcase vocal talent and all the performances were stellar.

It's kind of funny how crowd surfing seems to crop up at a Melon concert. Not much, but it's there.

[And as a note, the concert DVD wasn't filmed at Chicken George (it's too crowded to shoot a proper idol concert) but Zepp Tokyo. You see some of the live house in the Natsu tour medley and you see it during the extras.]

Awesome! But I guess mkb don't promote stage diving like the circle jerks do. :-)

(They really deserve their own regular show called kiss the melons.)

tamatron · « **Reply #35 on:** June 16, 2005, 10:45:07 AM »

Hmm... I think I should get the 3rd one, then. And maybe whenever I have money, I'll get the 1st one, too!

daigong · « **Reply #36 on:** June 23, 2005, 09:05:34 AM »

There. A new upload thread in THE ASSHOLE just for MKB stuff. Check it out!!

After all this time, "Saa! Koibito ni Narou" and "Akai Freesia" remain oh so addictive...yeah. I'm behind. I haven't even listened to their 2005 tour and stuff.

digging up old shit...it is true. MKB- the gayest group in H!P

how did The Boss become the Boss since in early HM episodes (most notably the bowling corners) Megumi Murata was the leader?
