I was reading this thread, and I didn't see this comment this morning, but they're NOT part of Hello! Pro Party ~Captain adfjjlk~ yet! They're doing a musical type thing, but that's completely different (they're in it, in other words, but probably will only have half as many songs as Gocchin)
Sorry. Forget Captain live, I got confused titles with Hello!Pro Party 2006 with Maki, Viyuden and Tsuji. I meant the H!P On Stage -the musical type- has even more songs.
Last year it was pretty well shuffled and they were a lot of girls; this time it will be only Maki and MKB so I think MKB will get a lot of stuff there and Maki too (That's why I think she does one solo less than Aya and Abe). Elder live, in a numeric way:
Songs they are in / Solos / Artist name
9/3 Abe
8/3 Aya
8/2 Goto
6/1 Country Musume
6/1 Maeda
6/1 Iida
6/0 Ayaka
5/1 Yuko
5/1 MKB
5/0 Inaba
5/0 Kei
4/0 Mari
Some of you are drawing it too negative. Goto has only one more solo than Maeda and is in two more perfs than she is. Just an example. In the list I'm including "All" songs and CM / MKB counting the perfs where maybe there are just two or three of them. Yet, they are. The ones who get more releases perform more so they can sell more. I find it logic and I guess who made the setlist found it too. Everyone else moves from 4 to 6 songs which is pretty good in my opinion. It's first half everyone their songs, second half shuffling. So I think it couldn't have been managed better. If this is even ok with me, that I dislike shuffling, how can't be bad to people liking it?
In fact, getting rid of the shuffling would make them get one more solo -or even two- and be comparable to the ones Goto have. Since there wouldn't be shuffling, everyone would have the same time on stage. Then blame the shuffling you all like so much. It's obviously that shuffling songs one gets more songs to ones than to the others because it has a lot of preparation. They have to think on clothes change, they have to think if "she" would be in the next song or not, with who, etcetera. It's what shuffles carries with them. If instead, you make it all shuffles, you don't even know if it would have been better or worse than it is now.
That said, I can understand why H!P concerts, that used to be a window to the casual people to show off how good each artist was, turned to a shuffling festival starting on Kaori's grad concert. Nowadays, it's not a time to bring your friends, watch your favorite, and listen to the others in the label, which is what it used to be. Now it is an entire show for the wota. Tama said it. It's the expectation of who will sing what. So as long as they do it this way to keep selling out the tickets, it's alright for me. I just pointed out I prefer the old method, and that the shuffling for Elders hasn't been as bad as it might have look to some of you
