Questions about Berryz Kobo Special Best CD/DVD...

Madara · Post by **Madara** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:12 am

I can't find a tracklist for Berryz Kobo's recent "Special Best" album. Does anyone have one in English? Barring that, can someone simply tell me the title of Track 2? It's a particularly catchy song and I don't believe I've heard it before. The main word in the chorus is, I believe, "Ashitai."

Thanks.

Also, the DVD that came with the CD contains 37 min. of performance footage. They're in their "Madayade" costumes. It's a small venue with practically a bare stage and I'm guessing it's a fan club event. Has anyone seen this footage and can tell me where and when it was shot?

Thanks.

I will take a stab and guess the song is "Anata Nashide wa Sekite Yukenai" ("I Can't Live Without You"). It was their first single and the word that stands out in the chorus, at the end of it anyway, is "aishitai."

Here is the PV on YouTube.

That it is. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' /> But, it's not "Anata Nashi de wa Sekite Yukenai", it's "Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai". Whoever initially romanized those files... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... cepalm.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='-_-' /> Between that and "Shining Aishiki Anata", I die a little inside.

Man, sorry Hana!

I completely did not notice that in the file all this time and I have no idea who I got it from in the first place, but it was, what? Five years ago? Sheesh. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... wheely.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />

Thank you so much. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

Now, as for the other thing, I just finished watching the whole 37-min. DVD, and it's gotta be a fan club event. There are two songs at the beginning. Then these two guys in orange Madayade T-shirts, looking exactly like what you'd expect Berryz fan club officers in Japan to look like <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... omgwtf.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wheely:' />, come out at the 10-min. mark and join the girls on stage and emcee a 20-minute stretch where drawings of each of the girls are projected on a screen, each made by one of the other girls. And the girls react to the drawings. Momo's drawing of Risako and Risako's drawing of Saki are the best-received. (But where were Saki's eyebrows?) Maasa's drawing of Momo as a lady in her pajamas with a cat is the oddest one and Momo doesn't seem too pleased. Momo and the rotund little guy from the fan club even replicate the poses, with the guy curling up on the stage floor like the cat. Definitely an unusual Berryz moment. Then the two guys leave and Berryz sings "Madayade" and the show ends. Then the girls are seen outside the auditorium shaking the fans' hands. And that's it.

Noooo, don't be! I didn't mean to sound like I was annoyed at/with you, just at whoever romanized it that way initially. Generally I correct errors like that in files so that if I upload them the titles are correct, but not everyone can or would do that, so it just can't be helped.
