[2014.03.26] Morning Musume Concert Tour Fall 2013 ～ CHANCE！～

[AurA]

I think most of the front row seats are sold exclusively to fanclub members.  Where did you get your tickets?  from the vending machines in convenience stores?  What was that like?

Oh no, not so fast.

You failed because the setlist is different between day and night shows.

You failed because the encore tracks have already changed twice.

You failed because I have asked for that specific show recording on three separate occasions.

You failed because other BBS members have attended other shows and that one show recording is the most special to them.

You failed because even the poorest collector will tell you that you just have to catch them all.

In summary, you, Miss, steal the crown of today's quintuple fail. For shame!

Since this show's tickets were distributed by lottery we had someone in Japan apply for it for us. Once the results were in and they got confirmation via email they picked the tickets up from a convenience store.

[Anderei]

I would like to point out that at the very least, I did provide a DAY recording.
 
But I also haven't been keeping up with this thread, so I'll concede all the other points.

[aine]

Don't fret, being a scapegoat on the BBS is a privilege.

I felt bored and curious the other day so I decided to film the official MM glowstick/penlight in slow motion to see what kind of mixing they use to achieve the 10 unique colours:

Morning Musume penlight in 1200fps

The above most boring 3:20 minutes of your day today was actually me pressing the colour change button as fast as possible for 5 seconds in real time. The results are inconclusive which makes me a bit disappointed. But it's nice to see that the light is pretty much constant - save for some slight pulsing mainly during red shades, which I'm not sure if is not just the camera's artefact. The transition between colours is almost non-existent, definitely shorter than the 0.83 millisecond per frame that my camera can capture. I gave up searching the web to find out how glowsticks of this kind (presumably LED-based) work after one minute and I'm not about to disassemble mine, so it will have to remain a mystery.

Triple post...

The Budokan concert is over and so is the tour. Here's some morning news clips:

Apparently, some of the streamers they shoot were autographed (via Snipey@H!O):

Just last night I was saying I'd grab some of the streamers and put them in a baggy and label them, but now I REALLY will. 

[NekoKaiSai]

Wait...S/mileage was there?

Footage of the concert and backstage footage from Satoyama.
 
Moonlight Night looks awesome, amazing even. And Masaki uses her big girl voice.
 
I am sad they keep hiding Wolf Boy. T_T 

 

[Anderei]

Whoever designed those card outfits should be fired. They're the exact opposite of what I'd expect a group whose trying to promote themselves as cool to wear.
 
Moonlight Night wasn't awful, but man did it make me miss the platinum lineup. Not a fan of Masaki's man voice, either.

Seriously. She either squeals out her lines like a pig on fire or roars them like some sort of angry dinosaur. She never actually sings. 

[Anderei]

Girls from other groups do it occasionally, but I notice it happens a lot more with the Morning Musume members, and I've never really understood why.

[NekoKaiSai]

I think she's trying to belt like Oda, but just doesn't have the technique down.

[MejraThea]

So, regarding the performance of Funwari Koibito Ichinensei of this concert on Haro!Sute
(At 2:30)
They're all wearing different shoes. Sayashi and Ishida have on flats, Oda has on short heels, and Suzuki and Ikuta have on regular, OTT size heels.

 
Just a curiosity that struck me. Ignore my crappy .gif, I know it blinks out, I just see no reason to re-make it since this is just a one time use.

[Anderei]

I've seen them do this before. Not always, but occasionally even for singles the girls don't always have matching heel heights. I want to say it was like that in Brainstorming.

[al kusanagi]

Sometimes it's for height, but other times it's because some of the girls aren't comfortable with certain shoes.

[momoirosaya]

Yeah and I bet Riho and Ayumi didn't train in heels so they might not be as comfotable with it. (Isn't dancing in heels all the time supposed to be bad for your feet anyways? No wonder Aika got hurt.)

[Anderei]

Yeah, it's probably both harder and even worse on your feet than just wearing heels all the time is. You could end up with feet like this idol.
 
But MM usually wear thicker heels anyway which I imagine takes some of the load off.

[MejraThea]

Hmmmmm. I recall in Help Me!! the younger girls wore different heels than Sayu and Reina, but I just thought that having it like this was kind of strange. Thanks, everyone.

It really bugs me that it's unthinkable for idols to dance in sneakers/flats these days. Faeries's new single has them running in place for practically the whole song, but they're in the same old booties they wear in every other song.

Your gif is really funny in my opinion xD. How do you do gifs ?

Even I agree dancing in sneakers would be better for them but well, sneakers on stage with their pretty outfits don't match together ^^' (I saw some concerts from 2001 to 2005 and I always thought that). But I agree that flats will be the best trade-off. Faeries usually dance in high heels too, in my remembrance. And in their single which will be released on Februar, they dance in high heels too so Hikari ni Hate ni was an exception like Help Me!! was an exception.

[MejraThea]

In Photoshop I convert the MPG video into frames and edit it. If you look up a tutorial it will be much more helpful than I am.

[Meikochi]

Ok thanks ^^.

[Shoujo Q]

I am excitement!!! Wolf Boy-Moonlight Night-The Manpower!!!
Better than I expected!!!! I'm happy.

[Mugi]

That was pretty awesome! It's cool how the used group lines to cover where I feel something might not have sounded the best as a solo line.

That was amazing like 3 of my favorite songs all executed well and Sakura...

[yuzuriha]

So much amazing.  Also three of my favorite songs ever and they go together so well.  Sakura was perfect as usual.  Riho didn't make me want to shoot myself in the ear.  Ayumi has improved singing wise a LOT which makes me happy.  And I said this on facebook but this is the most Mizuki has ever impressed me.
 
I also said this on facebook but Masaki is trying to hard and I kind of want to slap her.  Please don't stone me for having an opinion.

[smtmissin]

I love Sakura's voice so much. I am also very happy that my beautiful Ayumi get to sing here, and she sang very well.
Rho is just Riho, doesn't impress me.
Maa-chan, please keep doing your best. I will love you 'till the end of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kalle]

Jesus lord, Maa-chan, where did THAT come from?
Riho actually sounded really good here! I am totally pleased.
 
Also the Wolf Boy choreography makes me giggle with how Thriller-esque it is.
