It's easy to see how much Jpop catching up I need to do, since I've only just now watched the big summer concert! This was one of my first combined Hello! Project shows to see (including almost all of the current groups), so it was interesting to watch various "team-ups" of girls you would generally never expect to see together, often doing other artists' songs. I liked seeing Reina (along with girls from Berryz Koubou and C-ute) doing Suki Sugite Baka Mitai, and Ai-chan did a great job duplicating Ayaya's Good Bye Natsuo dance. The arena where the show was shot is totally huge, and sometimes there were just too many girls and costume changes to count! Of course, most of the DVD is dedicated to the dual graduation of Konkon and Mako-chan, which is filled with tears. It's amazing how seeing Morning Musume on so many shows really makes you feel like you know them, so you can't help but cry along! This was Koharu's first good-bye, and she couldn't keep it together at all. As always, Yossie seems like such a perfect leader at these occasions, which makes me sad at the latest news of her upcoming graduation (Mikitty should be fine, but she seems a little emotionally detached to me). The finale is a huge number combining The Peace and Sexy Boy (which is a pretty weird combination), ending a really entertaining (and historic for fans) concert!Labels: dvds, jpop, morning musume
