℃-uteコンサートツアー2010春~ショッキングLIVE~ [DVD]

Banana A. Banana B.


OPENING
Wooooooaaa....

1. SHOCK!
Awesome song to start the concert with!! I really wasn't into this song when I've first listened to it, but I actually like it now X) Shock! Shock! lol

MC

2. Massara Blue Jeans
I know I've mentioned it so many times (lost count how many), but we really need Kanna to shout at the start..... it's not the same anymore.... T-T

3. Amai Wana
Yes! One of my favourite song!!! X) It's sooo much better live!! I fell in love with those 'wiggly hand flickering" bit. For those that doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's the picture.
*click*

Opening VTR (BGM Akogare MY STAR★ remix ver.)
Yaaaaaa~

4. Akogare My STAR★
Very strong stage performance =D

MC

5.Shigatsu Sengen
Nice ballad, but I still can't get over how bad the PV was for this song. lol

6. Lonely girl's night (Yajima Maimi solo)
Actually, I didn't mind her voice here. Not too manly solo song for the first time =D

7. Seventeen's VOW (Saki, Chisato, Mai)
Uuuurrggh!! What's with their outfits!?!?!? >_<" Why can't they wear stylish suits like in 'Forever Love', and not Daddy's suits!?!? It's sooo wrong.... T-T

MC
I guess, THEY liked it....... -_-"

8. Darling I love you (Chisato solo)
Niiiiiiiice~~!! I'm not so into this song, but it's so nice to see Chissa having a solo song! She sooo deserves it! X)

9. Image Colour (Maimi, Airi)
Yea, the song was ookay. But seriously, their outfit's so disturbing! I don't think it even appeals to the wotas either! ... I might be wrong..??

10. Ikiyouze!
Okay, even with their unflattering outfits, they've done a really good job on making it LOOK cool. and gosh, I think they've all improved their dances sooo much (not just for this song, but in general) O_O!

MC

11. The Party!
Niiiiiiiice!! Wasn't so into this song, but this performance has changed my view =D If you are one of those fans who loves looking at the members interact on stage, you might enjoy watching this X)

MC (Maimi)

12. Endless Love (Mai solo)
Maimai Solo!! Awesome, another solo!! I still don't understand why Chissa and Maimai doesn't get much lines in general. They are both such good singers! Such a waste...

13. Kimi no Senpou (Saki, Chisato, Mai)

Another one of my favourite song I've been wanting to watch!!! If you are a Nakky fan like me, this song is a MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*click*

14. Aa Koi (Airi solo)
Airi~! X) I might sound old here, but she has grown so much as a singer and as a person =D She has this female sexiness? aura in this performance that she didn't have back then when she sang "Tsuugaku Vector". Nice.

15. EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!
Flag performance!! Dunno, I think I prefer tap dancing performance, but ºC-ute has so many skills now! Impressive.
*click*

MC (Airi)

16. Aishiteru Aishiteru (Saki solo)
Nakky~~~! X) Sooollooo~~! yay! If you are a Nakky fan, better watch this.... but go back and watch 'Kimi no Senpou' again ;) haha

17. FOREVER LOVE

Aaa! It's hard to get used to their new member colours! Airi in Pink is just... wrong.... X( I hope they don't ever change her colour in Buono!....

18. JUMP
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

19. SHINES

I'm starting to reeeaally like this song! I love the atmosphere where everyone waves their towels, and perform as ONE. It's sooo cool! I wish I was at the concert..

20. Seishun Song
Still not my favourite.... song....

ENCORE

21. Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~
New single!! but not anymore... lol It's getting a bit too old for me now =I

MC

22. Tokaikko Junjou
Still love this song =) Nice dance performance!

23. Yume ga Aru Kara
Final number! Great choice to sing at the end. It leaves us a relaxing, and warm feeling at the end X)

Bye!

Woa, I haven't seen them do the "ºC-ute deshita~" pose in so long! oh yea, and the 'bye bye' bit seemed really short for a long concert...? don't they usually stay on stage for more than like 3 minutes?? I might be wrong though..

---
Overall Impression:
AWESOME! I feel like I might start liking ºC-ute again =D Their singing's got better, great improvement on their dances, and each member's character seems to be stable and stand out more X) I would hate to see a new member join (if they ever do) or see a member go in the future. Because this 5 is a great team =D Now, we just have to actually GO to one of those concerts, right BA? ;)

M: oh, thank you!
C: but I couldn't sing as nice as Miyabi-chan and Airi.
M: oh really?
C: yea...

M: I need to point out one thing...
C: yea...
M: it's Miya's Main song...
C: I love...... Miyabi-chan.
(both laughs)

C: I love Miyabi-chan and Airi.
M: hold on a second...
C: but I do like "I NEED YOU" too.
M: really?
C: yea. But at first, I thought it was "I NEDD YOU".
M: yea, it's actually "I NEED YOU"
C: yea, "I NEED DYUU"
M: it's "I NEED YOU"
C: yea, "I NEED DYU"

M: why.. did you have to choose "Shoushitsuten"? Couldn't it be "I NEED YOU"??
C: unn..... But..... My most favourite song was "Shoushitsuten"..
M: oh..
C: Speaking of "Shoushitsuten", I've heard that a lot of fans like this song too. Airi once told me that at concerts, she sees people crying when they are singing this song.
M: yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
C: After hearing that, I love it even more.

M: Momo like that song from ºC-ute. ♪Ookina ai de motenashite~♪
C: I knew you would say that.
M: ♪Ookina ai de motenashite~♪ and ♪Capuseru ne♪
