Berryz Koubou have gone on indefinite hiatus as of 3/3

[Starra]

All I have to say is:
MAASA'S HAIR EXTENSIONS, HOLY SHIT.

Okay no but really, it was a great concert. Everyone looked and sounded amazing and they were troopers right until the end. I'm gonna miss them.

I'm not going to download a 22 GB file, but I will watch the news footage again and again.

It just hit me that they're gone. Berryz started out the same year I got into H!P and they're gone. Towa no Uta and Love together! are replaying in my head. Postmortem Berryz loneliness.

[aerosuffly]

When reading Tsunku's blog post, "There are still so many songs I wanted berryz to sing", "there are still so many songs I wanted to write for Berryz..."
...Those lines... ;-; Tsunku wasn't ready for Berryz's end yet, either.

Yeah .. he also wrote a letter to the members and gave it to them before the performance, a reason for the 20 minutes delayed

さらに、舞台裏ではプロデューサーのつんく♂（４６）がメンバーたちの前に登場。
スタッフを通じて、手紙にしたためたメッセージを伝えた。
これらを受けて、メンバーは出番を待ちながら感極まって号泣した。このため開演予定時間が２０分遅れた。

"Furthermore, producer, Tsunku ♂ (46), appear in front of the members at the backstage. Through staff, he delivered the messages that he wrote in a letter to the members. In response to these, members were crying, overwhelmed with emotion while waiting in the wings. Because of this, the curtain scheduled time was delayed 20 minutes."

So trying to put words on the concert yesterday...
The setlist have already been posted etc so there's no need for me to go onto that. But I'll be forever amazed by how they were able to pull off most of the concert without putting any of us in a sad mood.
For me, the way they started with Special Generation came by surprise so seeing that did make me tear up a little bit but I was brought back to the general mood of the song rather quickly. Never shouted "Su ppe sha ru" so loud before though. ^^;

The rest of the concert was just them having so much fun, and we an audience had a amazingly much fun as well. Everyone looked and sounded amazing. I realized, again, how much I underestimate Yurina. She's always so much more fun and enjoyable in concert than footage in my opinion. <3

What really did it for me, wasn't the last song "Towa no uta" but the piano-only version of "Love together". That Risako was able to sing the way she was, only got to me even more. It was really, really emotional. Towards the end of the song the fans started singing along as well and it was just... so touching. I cried the most when singing along there and watching the members cry and ;o;

It was a great concert though. Amazingly good concert and they were able to show Berryz Kobo at their best. I'll miss this group. They were never my favorite group or anything, but I'll definitely miss them. It's weird to think that they're gone. .__.

I think it'll all hit me when I watch the concert (hopefully tonight, if the file finishes downloading at a reasonable time for me to actually stay up to watch it).

^I thought that too, but it still hasn't hit me. ;-;

...And Sohee, WAS that you that screamed during the sakuracon/animenext part? Or was it different foreign fans?

[Sohee]

Other fans. lol

Berryz' group profile is gone on the Upfront site, but Berryz members have their own separate profile pics now (except Momochi)

It always seems a bit harsh when they take those profiles down right away. I mean, ffs ZONE still has an official web page.
