Berryz should have a sakura mankai song too <3

Someone please buy the ticket for me <3

[Koolmon93]

If we get a sea of pink like Konkon's grad during the encore, the girls will DEFINATELY cry. They cried during their first concert tour! As for the stage, I can just see it now. We're gonna get a platform in the middle with those thingys on the side to run around ala Rainbow 7. Or we're just gonna get one stage ala BEST OF JAPAN. Of course they're gonna sing all their songs. But I'm seeing Sakura Mankai or Hare Ame . Solos... why do I think it's gonna be Momoko? lol We're gonna get a Risako, Yurina, and Miyabi song, Chinami, Saki, and Maasa, and Momoko as the soloist. LOL

[Ayabie]

I was hoping for a medley of all of their 13 singles, or at least perform most of them. A solo song for each member would be perfect, 3 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. Will they cry? Most definitely! It's their first time at SSA, most of them had dreamed about performing there, the tickets got sold out and it's their 3rd anniversary.

Berryz should have a sakura mankai song too <3

I actually made a dream setlist for this when they first announced it (my list wasn't so epic, though), and there was Sakura Mankai with Momomiya duet.

Stage... Best of Japan stage would be damn cool. This one is gonna be huge, too, I think. Probably with some sakura trees on it. If they could have the lights like in Anata Nashi PV (like in my sig), it would be nice.

Solo... I wanted Momo to have a solo at SSA (that was like half an hour ago) but then I thought there shouldn't be any solo. Just them singing as a group. Shuffling them around in small groups is okay, too. Momo can have her solo at the spring tour later.

On a second thought... What if everyone has her own solo? The concerts would be too long?

Even though I love seeing them sing other artists' songs, this time, I'd rather have it be Berryz songs only. Because I see this as a showcase for Berryz Koubou's history somehow.

VB and Munasuka are for sure. SG is a must. If Momo doesn't get her solo, there might be Gag. Another song that they just have to include, "Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai".

[Anton_91]

YOU ARE KILLING ME! I can't wait another day for this concert! (I know, I'm totally Berryz insane! )

I have written down like 3, made-up, complete concerts that I image this one to be like. XP I have them at school but if anyone wants me to write them down here for fun (Okey, I know, who the hell gives a ****? But you never know. ).

Horrible thought: What if this concert won't be DVD released? O_O And if the new inde-songs won't be up on the net?

[Gblue]

new songs!!!!
i so wish i could be there - it sounds amazing. good luck to the girls!

[Anton_91]

WARNING: Do not watch the "Natsu! Natsu! Anata ni suki ni naru sangenzoku" before going to sleep!

I did that last night and I had a HORRIBLE dream, that the new concert was AWFUl playing only boring songs and the clothes we're awful (although Yurina was wearing some sort of Robin Hood clothing which were cute on her. ^^ Anyway, I was so depressed when I woke up, not realizing it was all just a dream until I walked into the bathroom and washed my face! I flew up and: "IT WAS JUST A DREAM! YUME MITAI!" My face was priceless.

What now? 8 days left until concert time, right?

[Blu-Cherri]

Being the Berryz fan I am I absolutely cannot wait!!!
I wish I could be there, supporting them and I'm sure it'd be a great show to see them live for the first time.
I'll have to make do with the concert rips! ^_^ I hope there are some mic recordings too, always love them!

I'm sure it's going to have loads of summer as the theme and sailor fuku will definately be one of the outfits, since wasn' the fact that several of them are graduating schools(momo and saki moving to high school and risako to junior high) so definately.  Somehow I don't see them performing other people's songs, but maybe we'll have a new song randomly???
They don't really have many 'spring-time' themed songs so I dunno what they'll have.

Oh and I promise I'll write a review of the concert rip, no matter what work i have!!...ok probably shouldn't make promises like that xD but I will try.
I like reading other peoples reviews so i hope you like mine lol.
Oh and better have lots of B-sides!! and a cool VTR(cuz we know it will have one)

[Anton_91]

Yepp, better have B-sides. And proably does to, Since this concert isin't focusing on any album, like Nyoki nyoki champion & natsu! Natsu! did.

Also, I'm guessing Natsu Remember You for the VTR. Just got this feeling. XP

Also, I forgot to say that I love how they made the CM for the concert, making their dance moves fit into Munasawagi. ^^

[Koolmon93]

They need to perform a medley of Gakidaishou, Kaccho ee!, and Piriri to Yukou.

'nuff said

[Ms. McBackpack]

^^^ Hell no! Gakidaishou must be performed seperately as a full song!

They don't really have many 'spring-time' themed songs so I dunno what they'll have.

Yeah... the only song of theirs that mentions spring is Munasuka? They have tons of summer songs, though. I was thinking aboyt school theme, too, because of the gradutions you mentioned and their songs always mention school. I even thought they should make sets on the stage like a classroom, school yard and stuff too.

[Samorbit82]

don't forget the lack of winter songs.
i want to hear nigiyaka na fuyu! but since Yaguchi is also singing in it, maybe Bk have a hard time to sing it without her?

[Tyball]

I hope they at least perform some of these songs, preferably all :

Suhada Pichipichi
Aitai Kedo
Tosho Shitsu Taiki
Gaki Taishou
Nicchoku ~Geinoujin no Kaiwa~

April 1st is three days before Risako's 13th birthday...

[Blu-Cherri]

Just thinking more about the school thing, the sketch(es) will probably revolve around a school setting, much like the sakuragumi/otomegumi ones were probably...though hopefully not as randomly long O.o

oh and yes Nicchoku ~Geinoujin no Kaiwa~ is a definate must have!!...as are all the other ones Tyball mentioned lol.  good list!

[Ms. McBackpack]

From tonight's Uta Doki, looks like they're gonna add more seats for the cons!!!

[Blu-Cherri]

really?! meaning, 'extra tickets due to popular demand!!!???
so cool!!!!

kyaa~ i can't wa~it

[Anton_91]

Awesome! You go Berryz.

I hope they will be sold out as well, the concert is only like 10 days away.

[Ms. McBackpack]

I've seen some ticket auctions for these cons. The most expensive one was the one in B zone, probably closest to the stage. It was over 100.000yen. Makes one thinks it's someone's grad con, eh? But the ones high up in the arena are very cheap, like cheaper than the real price. Makes me wanna go watch the concert. I don't really care about the seat, just want to be there.
