GAM First Concert Tour 2007 Shoka / Great Aya & Miki : 3 of 5

Part of my big DVD catch-up also includes various Jpop DVDs that I'm just getting around to watching, so now I've finally watched the first (and hopefully not the last) GAM concert DVD! I've definitely enjoyed GAM's singles, videos, and full-length album, but I wasn't too sure how they would be live, and as the concert started, I almost thought they weren't going to be able to hold my interest, since the first number had almost no choreography and they seemed to be holding back a little. Thankfully, Ayaya and Mikitty soon loosened up and started having fun, making little faces and kidding each each other (demonstrating the relationship between the two that makes GAM so interesting), and the dance routines got better, too. Their singing performance is really nice, and they can definitely hit the same harmonies they recorded in the studio! Even though Aya has the stronger voice, Miki does a fantastic job on her solo of Shining Itoshiki Anata (from her single with Country Musume, which is such a fantastic song). I counted six costume changes, ranging from gold dresses to red feathery outfits (the silver skirts for the encore were especially nice!), and the stage does the job with a simple light display in the background, but of course it's nothing compared to a Morning Musume set. One of the songs has a multi-angle feature on the DVD, so you can watch only Aya or Miki during the song, which was fun to experiment with. I really enjoyed watching this concert, and it was nice to see Mikitty again since she's been in hiding lately. I really hope GAM continues so there will be more DVDs to enjoy!
