Since this is the only type of post Intl. Wota feels like linking back to these days, I guess I might as well write some of my comments on the Hello!Project 2008 Winter ~ワンダフルハーツ 年中夢求~ concert, otherwise known as Hello! Project 2008 Winter ~The Concert Tour With The Young People~.
(I would have an image here, but I couldn’t find anything suitable. Maybe later.)
1. 青空がいつまでも続くような未来であれ! (Aozora ga Itsumademo Tsuzuku You na Mirai de Are!) – all
Never heard this song, don’t care. Next!
2. 恋愛レボリューション21 (Renai Revolution 21) – all
Well, that’s fuckin’ super. Beat some more classics to death. What the hell, why don’t you people go sing “Egao YES Nude” or “Aruiteru” or something and stop ruining my favorite songs? This is probably why I can barely get myself to like Morning Musume that much these days (although I understand everyone in the concert is going to be performing RR21) — they always have to do the classic songs instead of working to create their own. It’s been ten years, Up-Front/H!P/Tsunku: Don’t you think it’s time to just let go of the past and concentrate on making some hit songs for the present so in another ten years, that Morning Musume can beat them to death in their concerts?
I swear, if Momusu had something awesome now like RR21, I would probably instantly like this lineup. As for now, the only thing they can churn out is “Mikan”.
3. MC
k.
4. LALALA 幸せの歌 (LA LA LA Shiawase no Uta) – all
Is this the retarded “LA LA LA” song they performed at 2007 Kouhaku? I didn’t actually see that Kouhaku, mind (nor do I want to), but that song is, like…a crappy mobile phone-only release, wasn’t it?
5. 都会っ子 純情 (Tokaikko Junjou) – ℃-ute
Finally, a song that I recognize/isn’t going to be subpar.
6. チャンス! (Chance!) – Tsukishima Kirari starring Kusumi Koharu (Morning Musume)
Ew, Kirari.
7. ハッピー☆彡 (Happy) – Tsukishima Kirari starring Kusumi Koharu (Morning Musume)
Ew, more Kirari. Get your anime TF out of my H!P concerts, plz.
