[3/13] Berryz Kobo 31st single : Asian Celebration

[DARC1993]

they should never sing live ever again.

Lol where is this hatin' for Berryz coming from?! Hahaha

[Rm88]

Hate the song, not the singers

That didn't seem to stop people criticizing Riho for messing up and Sakura (not singing live) during the New Year Joshikai Concert
ehem, anyway ...

I'll just wait for the PV. At the moment I'm most definitely not feeling the song, regardless of the live singing.

this +1 and is it just me or does the the music can barely be heard over the girls in some part of the concert footage ?

[Rm88]

I think that's because the instrumental sounds rather empty.

I liked it a lot at first but I'm not so sure anymore. I guess it's in a similar boat as CHA CHA SING for me.

Well, sadly MM is always under severe scrutinity, so I just got used to all the complaining Sometimes it's valid of course, but usually it's done just for the sake of complaining, it's expected

Despite Berryz being veterans Morning Musume in general is typically held to a higher standard.

^
^ Time hasn't been too kind with my initial perception of the song either, to be honest.

What's wrong with you guys?

They sang this new song much better than Want!, according to the recording.

If you have a problem, listen to Want!'s live first, then this one.

I don't think anyone was criticizing Sakura herself there, since it's most likely not up to her whether she wants to sing live. It was more that we were disappointed they didn't let her sing that line live, despite her singing ability and how that line is one of the highlights of the song.

Anyway, the Asian Celebration performance clip was decent. I mean, for idols singing live, definitely decent. The verses have very difficult lines that will surely be more polished in the recorded version (and maybe their future performances as well).
