[2014.09.10] Morning Musume '14 Concert Tour Spring ~ Evolution~

[Anderei]

I've never understood outfits that show off the area between the stomach and the bust, but they're still cute:

 
I can't handle Mizuki's enthusiasm in this photo.

Those outfits are really cute. MM is really embracing their history lately, the outfits remind me of The Peace.

What did they do to the girls' faces in that picture?! There are at least five I don't recognize. I figured out who they're supposed to be, but they sure don't look like them. Did they retouch the photos? Or is it the makeup artist's fault?

[Anderei]

They all look pretty recognizable to me, Madara.

[Shoujo Q]

Again, I'll say it. Combination of make-up and puberty my dear Madara. Aka the dreaded Mapu!!~ I guess when you don't pay attention to them on a regular basis, it could be hard to remember who is who. But it's really not that difficult. 
Sakura looks amazing and Ayumi, that's not a very good angle for her. She almost looks like Fukuda.
 
And on commenting. I really hate gold. So I'm sorta bummed at the outfits. 

[MejraThea]

They didn't end it in Tokyo. How odd.
 
This is going to kill me... seeing all the goods and being unable to buy, lol.

[arcobaleno]

If they whip out some really good Sayu shirts, I will probably have to sell my body to afford them
 
:P

[Kalle]

I am so over tiny hats holy shit.
 
As for goods, I'm abstaining from spending cash at the moment due to saving trip funds, so it's more than likely the goods will be fantastic and make me cry about not buying them >:T

lol ya they are pretty lame.  What's wrong with hair?  

[YuuakuRisa]

The outfits are alright...but I'm trying to figure out if the Os are supposed to microphones or not. They look like drains and I can't take my eye off them...

[sayu1991]

Microphones....or maybe speakers?

I am with you Madara.  There are three I am struggling with on who they are.  It's Masaki, Haruka, and Sakura I know that much, but which one is which?
 
I know it's me.  I just haven't invested the time to learn more about them yet. 
 
It is so weird for me to write that.  I used to pride myself in looking at a video and be able to tell what year it was made by the Momusu members in the line-up.

Does this help? (Since it's the same member order AND they are in their member colors, sorta.)


 

[sheikhyerbutay]

Yes, it does!  Thank you!

[TicTacAnyone]

I think costume designers feel that they have to show some skin to make the outfit look good. It's a look I see in a lot of H!P's work. And they design it so that it's above the hips/bottom of the tummy (Where it'd be the biggest/"most unattractive"), and right below the bust, obv. I'm kind of over it as well, I think it's okay to cover it up :)
 
Looking forward to the audio/setlist!!!

[Shoujo Q]

The concert starts this weekend.


They put up the DVD magazine (59) and 60 that'll be sold at the Evolution concert. It's backstage footage and performances from their live house tour and Chance concert. (Watch it to give you a good idea about what the Naruchika live house DVDs will probably look like.)

[Shoujo Q]

Tour goods are up on e-lineup if you'd like to see the previews.

[star]

Can someone tell me what is what and what prices go with the items because I can't read Japanese well enough to make any of it out, and there are a few things I'm looking at and might try to buy.

[Vikitty]

I can't read all of it, but most of what I see is pretty clear so here's what I can see:
 
- DVD magazines are 2600y
- ??? 2000y
- ???: 1500y
- Uchiwa/fan: 800y
Wristband: 800y
- Flag 1200y
- Towel: 2200
- Microfiber towel: 3700y
- MM shirt: 3000y
- MM Hoodie: 5700y
- Photosets (includes 10 photos, 1 of each girl, L-size): 1500y
- B2 poster: 800y
- Gold tote: 700y
- Black tote: 600y
 
Then on the left is the member specific goods. 
- 2L photosets: 500y
- Uchiwa: 800y
-- Shirt: 2200y
- Microfiber towel 3700y
 
That's the first flyer; I don't have the time or the interest to do the rest lol. Really if you look at the pictures it's pretty clear what everything is and the price.

[yuzuriha]

UGH I hate elineup and I guess I'll be saving a lot of money.

[Shoujo Q]

There's a new mm14 glow stick. And elineup isn't bad, it's just that whoever is designing toe goods now is crappy.
 
I'm upset because my favorite photos are in the solo member packages. Back in like 2004 they did a similar photo for a tour or maybe a single, but they were my all time favorite! I hope they do some non autograph versions because I'd love a set!

[yuzuriha]

Well it's not just the goods that annoys me, it's this new format of let's post a flyer that you can't even zoom in on to preview goods!

[arcobaleno]

Damn, Sayu's solo set would cost me $121. I am seriously hoping she'll still be in the group in like 2020 just so I could buy her tour goods for once XD

[Kalle]

For a second I thought they were rereleasing all the old birthday t-shirts but nope, they're keychains.
The actual tour / solo t-shirts are boooorrrriiinnnggg. The simple look is better for the hoodie but lolnope not spending that much on it!
 
Valerie, the 2000yen ??? is the visual book and the 1500yen one is a scrunchie.

[Vikitty]

omfg I want the scrunchie actually. cough.

[Anderei]

I'll update as the setlist is updated:
 
Edit: Oh man, I love Yamete Yo Sinbad. It's a shame Masaki is in it. I wish it was Eripon because then it would be perfect.

[momoirosaya]

Overall the setlist seems pretty boring, but they don't have any new material or B-sides to perform so it makes sense.

[Anderei]

Even some more album songs would have been nice. A concert does not need every single electro-Musume single, especially when they've already been performed so often despite being new.

[momoirosaya]

They could even dip into their extensive discography and pull some older songs out, rather than do One Two Three again.

[Shoujo Q]

I've seen a few pictures online complaining about photoshop. One was a headshot of Sakura, from a pinup. But if you view this image on say, your smartphone. You can see they attacked Zukki too. 

 
There's just something totally off about the left side of her body. (And I mean her left, not our left)
