It would've been really cool if in the announcement they would've mentioned that meeting Berryz was going to be part of the deal. I mean goodness gracious, things like that make a difference.
Amen, brother! I decided not to do it because I had already made arrangements for a Budoukan ticket and I didn't think that a tour of video sites was a worthwhile trade-off for a full day of shopping in Tokyo. But meeting Berryz
would have been a worthwhile trade-off.
It looks like y'all know all about today's concert, so I don't really need to report on the nuts and bolts. Sohee and I were in the very top row of seats, and I was able to touch the ceiling of Budoukan with my King Blade while standing up. I'm not kidding. But we were at a good angle with regard to seeing the stage and the video screen. I was in sort of a daze for most of the concert, due to both emotional and physical factors (it was quite warm up there, and I was running on only four hours of sleep).
"Special Generation" was a great start to the show, but I was kind of disappointed that they didn't play more of my favorites, like "Piriri to Yukou" and "Madayade" (at least I got to hear "Munasawagi Scarlet" at Ariake). I really enjoyed what they did with "21-ji made no Cinderella", with the girls scrubbing the castle set, followed by the magical costume change into the blue princess dresses. I noticed during the members' message portion that everyone teared up except Momochi, that cold-hearted bitch.
(Yurushite-nyan!) It's hard to believe that the concert lasted for three hours (2:58 according to the clock at Budoukan, not including Kobushi Factory, Country Girls, and Juice-Juice), because the time just zipped by.
Contrariwise, time advanced at a crawl when I underwent the ancient wota ritual of standing in the goods line for hours on end before the concert. I got there at 7:30 a.m., and there were already about 250 people in line. Sales started at 11, and I finished buying my stuff at noon. But I managed to get everything I intended to get, particularly the all-important final t-shirt in a comfy XL.
). I remember thinking they wouldn't last long even though I really liked them, but they made it to 11 years.
