H!P/related Concerts and Stage Plays

[Celedam]

The drawings are not as boring as you might think. There are random bonuses and punishments mixed in with the numbers, and they're all in a variety of decorative envelopes so the members can't tell which are which.

They show footage of solo ballad performances from Sato Masaki, Fukumura Mizuki, Funaki Musubu, Dambara Ruru, Nonaka Miki.

They also show behind the scenes of how staff are handling safety measures in the venue for H!P members and 1,000 people (cut down from 2,222) : timed entries, social distancing lines and seats, masks, no cheering, covered and sterilized 53 microphones, and rules and signs they must follow. H!P members can no longer share foods from catering. They are replaced with bento lunch boxes. The stage has to be suited for one member only.

This is the new normal for Hello! Project concerts. Thanks to the staff for their hard work, everything went smoothly along. They have to do this 27 more times.

That coverage was much more in depth than I expected.

It seems to have been done in a pretty well thought out framework of COVID-19 and did a good job of keeping it there. I actually wondered about the mic situation and appreciate that each girl has her own.

Also, hats off to the fan who they interviewed who was honest in his feedback that (paraphrasing) "it's nice to attend but it doesn't really compared to normal concerts."

Lastly- what is the definition of ballad? Even when the list got publicized I was pretty curious since there are some songs I would definitely consider mid-tempo at best.

[Amped]

The order of appearance will be decided by lottery in advance, and each performance (each city) will be random. Expect to see the singing order change in Osaka and other cities.
(*The drawing of lottery that decides the singing order on the first day and the second day (at Nakano Sun Plaza) only was decided on YouTube "OMAKE CHANNEL" and will be distributed on Thursday, July 16th).

(I've only watched Team A so far but...)

So, I don't know if it's that they
spent a crap ton on the wardrobe budget or spent whatever budget they didn't spend holding activities the entire Spring (which doesn't make sense either way because the cash flow coming in would've been poor) or that they simply hired new stylists but these are quite possibly the best outfits I've seen on the girls collectively.

The only outfit that was a little meh was Kaede but I accept it because it fits with her boyish image while still being feminine with the sheer top.

The best, imo, are Ogata Risa and Funaki. Far and away the chic-est outfits.

Edit 1:
Team B outfit winners: Manakan, Layla, and Masaki.

Also, I'm starting to see a future in Rio. She's the only one of A+B who innately understood that a non-number card= additional screentime.

Edit 2:
Team C Outfit Winner: Maria and Akari. But TBH Team C had the worst outfits. Poor Yuhane.

Overall really solid outfits for all of H!P though.
