So proud of all the girls! Did you notice Masaki pretty much got the majority of Reina's lines! That's better than inheriting a color from her favorite member I think. well I think she does a great job. Everyone has really done a great job and I really feel like this group is very strong. I hope they continue to climb and climb. They deserve the success.

[Sohee]

Perfect girls. <3


Masaki is so amazing. Never fails to surprise me with the way she sings, seriously. @.@ Give her a year or two and SHE would be able to do Manpower. @.@

[Panic Nancy]

Masaki sounds really weird -- kind of strained and unnatural. But at least she sounded better than she did at Sunshine City. That was awful. And I don't really like Sakura's 'tsukamitoru.' Maybe she'll sound better after she's done it a few times. But... all of those people. *____*

Event started.

1. Kimi sae ireba nanimo iranai
MC - Introduction
2. Medley: Brainstorming > Wakuteka Take A Chance > Help me > One Two Three
MC
3. Ai no Gundan
4. Wagamama ki no mama ai no joke

considering how intensive those dances are, that looks pretty exhausting. they still managed to sing at a high level.

[Sohee]

Funny thing is. 6000 people saw them, right.
Budoukan fits about 10,000 people.
I imagine quite a lot of people also didn't go to that event yesterday.

Says quite a lot. =X

I finally caught up but since I haven't seen many impressions of this posted so ... might as well

-Ikuta is well, Ikuta xD . More anecdotal evidence that regardless of how KY she's in normal conversations or how "going my own way" her fashion choices are, she's actually quite considerate of her surroundings and definitely one of the most approachable members.

-Sakura is much more interesting and active in motion, way way more compared to my early impressions of her. Her expressions are also unexpectedly somewhat... kind of .. flirty? In a good way, I mean lol. She exudes confidence rarely seen in a member as green as she is and it makes her look more engaging in shows like these. Oh and her singing is just lovely ofc.

-Hmm... I really like Harunan's eloquence and creativity with her "good at finding peoples plus points" but at the same time I can easily see how it could come off as annoying or insincere sometimes too. I hope she can find a good balance with her gimmick in the future but for now I think it's still pretty funny.

-I've said it times and times before but Ayumin's awkwardness and her halting speech when she's unsure of something is just so adorable <3

-Some people say Sayu's unchanging long black hair is boring, watching this video I can't help but think that's the farthest thing from the truth. Seriously, just the way she keeps playing with her hair and leaving it in various different angles so many times in one sitting is so damn mesmerizing...

-Sayu's monomane. Now that's truly a rare sight to behold . And I have to say she looked awesome doing it though

-----

Finally, I think the most interesting take away of this show is the Morning Call game where they talked about their current dreams :

-Harunan is still aiming to be "a refreshing Manga Otaku" so someday she wants to be able to go to a Japan expo and talks about manga or do cosplays together with her fellow hobbyists.

-Sakura talked about how she's the only member in Morning Musume history that currently only has #1st ranked singles during her tenure and she's really proud of that. Therefore she wants to be able to extend that record and be like a Goddess of Victory for the group.

-Ayumi mentioned how she's the shortest member in the group right now at 150cm so she decalred her next goal was to grow to at least 153cm xD ... oh and grow as a person(heart and mind) too.

-Ikuta Erina, Aiming to be The World's Number One Idol!™ lol

-Sayu said her dream now is to be able to perform their concerts, as the current 10member formation, in a grand stage. Not because of anyone's graduating or there's a huge announcement/anniversary/event or anything like that, just a normal, straightforward concert. Continuing their current record to a 4 single consecutive #1st and getting more singing parts(lmao) is also mentioned.
