I really shouldn't be watching this concert right now, but I just can't help myself, lol!!
So I'm gonna review it as I go, since I don't have the time to watch it again v.v
The official release date isn't until the 25th of this month (August)... But as per usual it has magically appeared HERE on youtube!
Berryz Koubou Concert Tour 2010 Shoka
~Umi no ie Otakebi House~
The concert follows a story:
Captain has decided to open an 'Otakebi House' with all her friends. Even the shy classmate Risako has decided to work there, but all ideas for the Otakebi house haven't been really good. During a karaoke session, Momo comes up with the idea that the Otakebi house should be a place where the girls can sing by themselves. Everyone loves the idea but then, Risako announces that she is going to move to New York after summer holidays due to her father's new job. It has always been like this since she was child. Every time she makes new friends, her father gets a new job and she has to move again. However, all the girls tell her that she will always be welcome in the Otakebi House, and that they will be waiting for her forever.

OPENING (skit)
Wotas!!
But apparently there were a fair few girls in the crowd for this taping.
1. Maji Good Chance Summer
It was cool how it joined on to the opening skit! Although i think I prefer those hardcore wham/bam upbeat in-your-face opening songs.
VTR (BGM: Koi wa Hipparidako)
Lol, i loved that Momo/Chinami fish bit in this VTR! So random...
But for the most part, the girls didn't look that good in this VTR. It was really long too.
2. Rival
Cute outfits!! But they had their first costume change so early on!
MC1
3. Koi no Jubaku
To tell you the truth I wasn't really watching this performance.
Too busy getting this blog post ready, haha. But from what I heard it sounded good? This songs is an easy one anyway.
4. Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda!
This was cute, although the body-rolls in these dresses looked really weird! Solo lines for everybody, yay!
MC2 (Momo & Maasa)
5. Yakimochi wo Kudasai! (Saki, Chinami & Risako)
I gotta get me one of these jumpsuits!
6. Grand demo Rouka demo Medatsu Kimi (Maasa & Yurina)
lololol! I still love those superhero poses they do!! XD
I think Kumai-chan's voice has gotten better! Usually I like Maasa in this song better, but today I think I preferred Kumai-chan. (Even though she had a sore throat)
7. Ai ni wa Ai desho (Miyabi & Momoko)
Very Buono! Outfits. These two never fail to deliver :D
DRAMA ('House, Home of The Sea Cry')
8. Natsu Wakame
This was really cute! I like these outfits too! I want Miya's dress!
9. Maji Natsu Sugiru (Beatboxing)
AMAZING!! Berryz just keep getting better at these acapella style songs. It sounded awesome! (Although that last note was a bit...) It's really cool how they don't have to stand there and prepare now too (like how they did in Gag 100kaibun Aishite Kudasai.) They just went straight into it. :) yay Berryz!
10. Natsu Remember you
I loved how these songs all fitted together in the story. It made all these songs so much more meaningful! It's like you can feel the reson and emotion behind the song. I like Miya's voice here too!! (But not her last note... Miya!!)
11. Anshinkan (Captain, Momo, Miyabi & Kumai-chan)
I still like Kumai-chan's first line in this, :) even though in general I don't like her voice.
12. Passion E-CHA E-CHA (Captain, Momo, Miya & Kumai-chan)
"Tell me, tell me why? Call me, call me please! Big news!"
Lol, always have to take a picture of their 'Hmm?' poses :P
13. Fighting Pose wa Date ja nai! (Captain, Momo, Miya & Kumai-chan)
Kumai-chan 'Swan dive' LOL!
I used to love singing this song!
14. BERRY FIELDS (Chinami, Maasa & Risako)
Pineapple... why?
15. Yume de Do Up (Chinami, Maasa & Risako)
Nice harmonies!
16. Toshoshitsu Taiki (Chinami, Maasa & Risako)
Old song! It's kind of weird hearing all their B-sides one after the other.
17. Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance
Pineapples and Banana trees with monkeys... Oh Berryz. LOL!
I wonder how hard these costumes are to dance in? lolol. This song is still awesome!
Nice costume change at the end. Captain, Momo, Miya and Kumai-chan are lucky they didn't have to wear those tree outfits of long, haha!
MC3
There did sound like there were a fair few girls in the crowd at this live. yay! :)
18. Seishun Bus Guide
This song is still really powerful.
Momo's first line was a little off though, Momo!!
19. Ryuusei Boy
This dance is always so fun to watch!! XP
20. Otakebi Boy WAO!
Berryz have had a pretty good run with singles lately, yay! :d
21. Yuujou Junjou oh Seishun
I donno, I never really liked this song, although the performance is always really energetic and fun!
Woo, sweaty towel throw!
ENCORE
22. Maji Bomber!!
So awesomely manly! Their 'new' song. I've totally over-listened to it though (I gotta stop doing that.) Bring on their next single, lol!
MC4
23. Bye Bye Mata ne
This song always reminds me of Maiha :\
It was cute how the wotas helped out Kumai-chan when she couldn't sing her line! :)
Aww, the end!!

Overall Impression:
I really liked how this concert had a story! It was really cool to see and hear all the songs fit in to a narrative. The stage was cute with all the props and things and their costumes were pretty cute too! (albeit the trees -__-) I think all the girls preformed really well, actually I think Kumai-chan sounds better with a sore throat, lol! Miya and Risako continue to get better, but I think Risako should focus on her high notes because she already has the man voice part down pat, haha. The set list was okay, they sang a lot of b-sides this time. I really wanted to see 'Kimi no Tomodachi' from their new album because we still haven't seen it! I know it's on the setlist for a full H!P concert, so I guess we'll have to wait until then. And ZOMG, just realised there was no 'Special Generation' or 'Dschinghis Khan'! Woah... Overall, this concert was pretty good! :)
