finally get to watch the whole concert. Here are a few of my thoughts:
the show was good but nothing near as awesome as the 7th live for me. Without Yazawa on stage quite a lot of energy is lost, Love Magic Fever isn't as hyper without her. I'm not sure whether its the props of the stage or something but the stage looks a bit dull and the band member doesn't stand out at all like in the 6th and 7th (I'm liking the band members so its kinda a bummer). Plus the varied genre of SUNRISE cause maintaining the energy of the show kinda hard I guess.
Then, no self introduction... aaw man. MCs are fine, the Amimi + Yazawa was kinda cool. Amimi has been wanting to do that act for quite sometime I guess
Still remember her do it during the daisuki Idoling!!! And Masuno only MC-ed once, considering that he has been MC-ing all the other Idoling lives before this, the sudden change is kind of weird.
However performance wise 2 songs really stood out, La la la no song and 3do me no kinenbi. Endou screaming her hearts out, idols coming out from the audience seat, kabuki MC and headbanging idols just spell the word WIN. 3do me was totally the opposite but still manages to please the heart.
and like SuzukiRyo point out, the dance before hyakkaryouran was really cool. Ruka was 'tokkaiko junjou-ing" like mad and damn the girl can really dance.
Overall the show was pleasing. I no standard was a fun performance, the medley was purely crazy. Looking forward for the 9th live~
