Awesome, awesome, AWESOME.  Gakidaishou in concert~!
Seriously, I couldn't be happier about these non-brand new songs they're performing. 
I'm REALLY interested to hear how well they can sing Koishiteru toki wa itsumo these days. It's a gorgeous song to begin with, and they've all improved since it was originally recorded, so I can't wait to hear it.

14. Himitsu no U.ta.hi.me

WOOOOAH!  Awesome!

Althooouggh, is this really the whole concert? No encore? 

Also, was the new songs Baka, Real L, Kono Yubi, Merry go and clap NOT divided in the concert? =D Cause that would be  great..
but weird. 

[Blu-Cherri]

I'm pretty sure BE and special gen might be the encore as they usually have an MC just before the final song but not the 'final but just before the encore song' if that makes sense.

[Anton_91]

^Possible. =) Anyway, tracklist looks great. 

And it's not 20 songs, it 19... it skips from 11th -> 13th track.
A tiny chance of Munasawagi as 12? xD Naah, probably just a mistake,

I hope nachdenki will have a juicy review for us soon! x3

[nachdenki]

eh I'm so not good at reviews actually, Ayabie does that better maybe.
I just got back to the hotel an took a shower~


the first perf. was so "lala" because I didn't know the new songs and even though the seat was line 12, the second perf. was better imho. Because it was more in the middle of the hall.
I spent a shitload of money, talked with thai wota, met Ayabie and am very tired now.
Maybe I'll up some recording I made after sleeping but guess wota did upload much better quality ones by then o/

berryz saikou~

ps: mano erina surprised me by playing keyboard

This was actually my first Berryz concert ever so I had high hopes for the setlist. Despite being unfamiliar with the newer songs I must say it's absolutely solid, in terms of performance order and getting the crowd going. I got goosebumps when the HAPPY! Stand Up started. I liked how they made CLAP! a "live" kind of song, with the clapping and chanting. I heard the studio version of it outside the hall when the noon concert was running - to be frank it sounded like crap.

A quick review of the new tracks:
○ Ah! Merry-Go-Round (I didn't think their voices would match at first, but I liked it.)
○ Yume wo Hitotsubu ~Berryz Kamen Ending Theme~ (My favorite song based on the live performances. They should experiment like this more.)
x Real Love (Sorry, I didn't like this at all. I barely remember how it sounded like... only parts of the VTR that was running in the background.)
○ CLAP! (Live version, fuck yes! Studio version, not so much.)
○ BE (Typical H!P choir-like song, you either like it or don't. I'm leaning more towards the former.)

Anyway, to sum up the concert, I've never had this much fun on an H!P concert. You could sit all the way in the back and still feel the heat from the stage and people around you. Koi no Jubaku was especially filled with madness.

[nachdenki]

no problem, we also didn't sleep much, stood up aroud 2am~ that's also why I wanted to sleep so badly. Besides I'm not the talkative type anyway.

I also didn't like real love much, don't know much about the other songs... wasn't very thrilled at the first perf but it changed with the evening one for most of them. The evening perf. also had more "power" as in chanting and movements.
Wonder what the concerts today will be like, I've only got some "bad" seats this day (saving money) but maybe I can relax better this time so it turns out to be enjoyable as well. I'll see.

Here some recording of the evening perf. yesterday, it's in .amr encoding becaue my phone does voice recording with it. Therefore the quality is really not great but the quality of the recording of my mp3 player is worse  (seems like it can't handle the high volume) dunno what codec you need to play amr files~

some pic I made between the noon and evening perf.

[Ayabie]

As much as I want to attend today as well, I doubt I'll get a seat as good yesterday. I bought a decent seat from a scalper outside the hall, and then traded me a better one while I was inside. Thanks, Oonishi Ryouhei!

And yeah, I heard the evening concert had a lot more chanting, but that's nothing unusual. I love the echoing in Monkey Dance and Yuujou Junjou speaks for itself. But as mentioned, nothing beats Koi no Jubaku.

"Tiki tiki tiki genki ni mau monkey!"
"MAU MONKEY!"

Anyway, you guys have fun today, nach.

Edit:

This is what I'm talking about. Goosebumps!

HAPPY！Stand Up

Decent quality, but it's Momoko's "Ichaicha Ai" that gets me. Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but the outfits for the concert are also pretty awesome.

[Koolmon93]

In HAPPY! Stand Up, the three leads are Risako, Momoko, and Miyabi right? I can't tell who happy happy please is. x.x

EDIT: I'm seriously in doubt that HAPPY Stand Up is just Risako and Momoko. I can hear Momoko in both parts, BUT DAMMIT MIYABI! Don't tell me they're pushing her back! T_T

[Anton_91]

Happy! Stand up only has Risako and Momoko solos in the chorus. =/
Maybe I'm paranoid but I also get the feeling Miyabi is pushed back alittle... when I was watching the new DVD magazine and Miyas underwater mic wasn't on I was noooooot happy, figured they had done it on purpose!  When momo's also wasn't working and when I found the extra commentary I was relieved.
Even if they are pushing miya back alittle, I have to think like: it's just temporary until the tension is better and be glad that she's still H!P at all! I'm really grateful for that. 

Anyway, this concert sounds sooooo awesome!
Can't wait for the DVD! =D

[nachdenki]

yeah the outfits are nice, some are also quite otonappoi.

still don't have a scanner here, sadly.
I forgot to buy the daily photoset today :/ it's the fault of the live photoset.... it was so unexpected for me, it made me forget about the daily set... whatever.

Baka ni shinaide is my overall favorite song of this tour so far (ue ue)
BE as ballad is very nice too.
special generation as concert ending sucks imo

[Ayabie]

So, I actually went to the evening concert today as well since my friend canceled our plans. I didn't see you nach for some reason. Hope you remembered to bring an umbrella, though. I was also told there was unofficial pictures being sold, but the usual stand had nothing but oldies from Wonderful Hearts...

In HAPPY! Stand up, "Ichaicha Ai" and "Happy happy free" are both Momoko.

So, after a second time seeing the concert I'll have to say HAPPY! Stand up, Yume wo Hitotsubu and Yuujou Junjou were my favorite performances. HAPPY! for the perfect intro to a concert (along with the transaction to Kono Yubi Tomare), Yume for just being overall awesome, and Yuujou for getting the crowd going. The MCs were also really enjoyable.

But yeah, Special Generation jst doesn't work as an ending song.

[Wonderboy]

nachdenki & Ayabie : how lucky you are !

Thanks for your reviews !

I guess it's because we firstly arrived around 13:00 o'clock so went into the hall right away. Though we waited on the stairs in the break between the noon and evening perf we also stood in the line 20mins before they opened again so guess that's why you didn't see me. I met the Thais again though. And no, no umbrella
I already saw the unofficial photos on saturday but didn't look closely. Now yesterday I did but yeah only old photos and most (if not all?) were non berryz.

for me it's probably Baka ni shinaide, Yume wo Hitotsubu, BE, happy stand up and clap!.
Of course most of the older songs were nice as well, koi no jubaku and yuujou junjou oh seishun are classics. Always good for chanting.

[Ayabie]

Ah I arrived around 16:00, bought a ticket, took a walk around and then stood in line.

So, I found out the one taking the unofficial photos got caught by the staff yesterday. Guess that's why we didn't get anything new. The staff seem to be really paranoid lately checking practically anything suspicious.

word.
I could have taken a camera inside though, but they are walking around alot during the concert. It's disturbing because they distract my attention :/
I'll still try to make either a photo or video next weekend, but probably won't. Anyway I just dled a better recording and it's awesome... also merry go-around.

I think my tinnitus is worse for now

[Ayabie]

Seriously, where were your seats?

2008.09.07 Hachiouji (Noon)

[nachdenki]

nowhere special so far. Closest to stage I had was line 12. But it was all too loud or my ears were too good

This saturday my best seat is line E (so basically line 5) but only 1 seat apart from the wall... you don't happen to want to go to that concert and buy my ticket don't you? or anyone else ?
I should have bought that other ticket but 45k yen... 45k friggin yen for one seat  so I went for the cheaper one...
It's quite depressing, I wanted a saikou seat for the last concert I can go to in a while 

btw. they didn't wear the album clothes at all at the concert. Thankfullly

[Ayabie]

I've never been to Zama before so I have no idea how the seat distribution is, but line 5 seems pretty hardcore. I think you could get a good price for it if you'd try selling it at the concert grounds. Just go around with a sign saying "チケットゆずってます" and wait.

Whoa, 45.000 for a ticket? I'm guessing it's from an auction?

[nachdenki]

Nah from the reseller at harajuku  anyway I've kept my ticket and it was actually line 4 because A (1) wasn't used. Well it was a sort of good seat because of the closenes to the stage but my view of the stage was smaller due to that wall of speakers being in front of me on the left. Therefore it was also really loud on one ear... I hardly heard any chanting. But I was able to look into their eyes if they looked in my direction.

I talked with some former momusume wota who just became berryz wota this year, he was nice.
Also after the evening perf two other guys said something to me... one said something like "momoko is really cute isn't she?" (in Japanese) and the other one ... didn't understand him but me made thumbs up and so did I.

Also today the unofficial photostand had photos of this tour. I bough all of Momoko he had o/...
here a pic of it along with some hall pic (noon perf seat)


oh and I just bought a 3rd copy of the new berryz album just to get the promotional poster
