[11/26] Michishige Sayumi graduated from Morning Musume. '14 at Yokohama Arena

[Jessi]

I've only watched Morning Musume's concerts and I've only seen the ones since the platinum era.

I've watched the graduations of some of the members prior, but always just the final messages and never the full concert. I've seen some performances here and there on YouTube but no full concerts. That goes for other groups as well.

My first H!P concert was Morning Musume｡ GREEN LIVE from 2001, having bought the DVD in 2004. Unless you count the LOVE CENTURY musical, which I bought on DVD almost a year earlier. Both of those were cheap, all-region, Taiwanese bootlegs. I got a used copy of the legit Morning Musume｡ Live Hatsu no Budōkan (Dancing Love Site 2000 Haru) DVD on eBay in April 2005, so the first graduation concert that I saw was Sayaka's.

The first H!P concert that I physically attended was Morning Musume｡ on the Spring 2006 Rainbow Seven tour at Kanagawa Kenmin Hall in Yokohama, with Hello Pro Party 2006 at Parthenon Tama in Tokyo the following day. The first graduation concert that I attended was Yossy's, in May 2007.

Sayu graduation concert TV broadcast in HD. it includes the part when they were singing Give Me Love in the medley / MC / full performance of Shabondama got cut off of the previous upload. the sound and quality is amazing.

Well poop.

I coulda watched this week's Hello Station to translate Sayu's message. I dealt with stupid Dailymotion for way too long.

I usually don't watch full concerts. At most I'll check out performances I'm interested in if they get uploaded to YouTube. I have a really bad attention span, so it takes me ages to watch a concert .

I'm more interested in shuffle performances than I am of regular performances of singles and whatnot. Sure, they're good, but after awhile I just don't enjoy them as much. If I watch a full concert, though, I don't skip anything (other than MCs sometimes).

Also, this may sound pathetic, but I get kind of overwhelmed with emotions (good ones!) when I watch idol things and I don't really like it . Usually I don't feel much emotion, but when I watch idols it's like "WHOA LOOK AT THESE GIRLS I LOVE DOING GOOD THINGS AND BEING GREAT AND HAVING FUN I LOVE THEM SO MUCH" the whole time. And it's almost too much for me. I don't cry or anything but I definitely feel the emotions. I didn't even tear up at Sayu's grad, despite the members doing so. That said, I don't like watching idols cry haha.

I watch things, though. I'm watching MM。concerts again because finally they all have voices I like (Reina sang too much in older concerts for me to get 100% enjoyment out of, since I didn't like her voice much personally). But with other groups, eh. I'll watch the S/mileage Budoukan concert when it gets uploaded, and J=J's tour whenever that DVD gets released. And if they released Nama Tamago Shows, I'd watch the shit out of those.

One of these days I'll stop being stupid and actually watch, like, everything though. I love these girls enough to do that but my brain is kinda dumb. Also, I don't have enough bandwidth to do that either, so there's that.

I'm really not a fan of the top portion of Sayumi's graduation dress. It looks kind of like they tried to pretty up a muumuu. So many other things could have been done.
