I just wanted to post here after watching the Yurina solo version of the Berryz 2006 Summer Concert several times over the past week. Yurina is just AMAZING throughout the whole concert with her energy and expressiveness. I've watched some of the other solo DVDs and none of the other members seem to have as much fun as Yurina does throughout the entire concert (except Chinami, perhaps). I've long avoided Berryz because they seemed way too kiddy, but I couldn't resist Yurina's ability to be genki without being overly childish.
Miyabi/Momo may be the voices of Berryz, but Yurina is the heart of Berryz for me. Actually though, I like Yurina's speaking voice the most. It's relaxing and always brings a smile to my face. I'd pay good money for a CD of Yurina just talking about whatever she wants.

Sorry just had to get that off my chest! I just "discovered" Yurina and Berryz this past week and I'm hopelessly hooked.
