So here’s my review of the incredibly epic and truly amazing Yomiuri Land East Coupling concert. I wrote this post ‘on the fly’ and as it’s the first time I’ve done something like this I hope it turns out okay. What do I mean by ‘on the fly’? Well I mean I’m popping my Yomiuri Land East cherry right here, right now by watching each song…twice – once to experience it then once again to screen cap it – and after having my dirty way with them (or maybe it’s the other way round) I’m pausing the concert to write up my thoughts and feelings on what I’ve just experienced. That’s dedication right?

Before I even start my song by song review I want to say that Eri’s hair colour does not go well with her red t-shirt and brown waistcoat! In fact the waist coat is an immediate wardrobe malfunction from the off only heightened ten fold by her hair. Urgh…ME DON’T LIKE! Because of this I won’t be including many screen caps of Eri in my post. Sorry…

Let’s a go!

Hand Made CITY

c/w of Kanashimi Twilight

“I love You. Wo~a~woah Lolli”

This is my ultimate favourite number one Morning Musume coupling song so I was incredibly upset to see that it wasn’t performed in it’s entirety. Not just because it’s such a downright awesome track that deserves to be given 100% air time but also because we didn’t get to hear the best Hello! Project line ever – Risa’s “ATSUI ATSUI YORU DA YO NE~!” Seriously…I’m really not happy that she didn’t get to shout that out <_< Oh well…I still love the song and it was a pefect opener but meh…that’s gonna annoy me no end!

Risa’s gets in to it so much more then everyone else, even Ai! Work it baby ♥

Love and Peace! Hero ga Yattekita

c/w of The Manpower!!!

I knew a cap from this part was going to be included in my post way before I even got to said part of the song. TakaGaki WUB FTW ♥

This is my third favourite coupling song after both Hand Made CITY and Odore! Morning Curry and I just knew it was going to be performed at this concert. I mean how could it not be? A few people had told me to look out for Jun Jun attempting to kiss Risa and I really thought it would happen in this song but it didn’t. This I’m thankful for as this song is all about Ai and Risa. They performed it well and the TakaGaki interaction was as great as it always is which makes me a very happy Lolli indeed. It was kinda hard to get an awesome screen cap of it though because when Ai actually has her arm quite nicely around Risa’s shoulders Risa looks in pain (>_<)

<3

(just a pity it’s Reina and not Risa)

Kimagure Princess

not a c/w

Risa’s turning right, I hope she checked her mirror first!

NOW WAIT A MINUTE! This isn’t a coupling song! The *audacity!!!1 Okay, because this concert was performed around the time of the single release they decided to pimp the song here. Now I don’t mind really but that slot could’ve been used for another coupling song – my vote would go to Odore! Morning Curry – or they could’ve sung Hand Made CITY in it’s entirety. I thought I would get over it if they showed Risa’s boob rubbing action but no, the camera was on Eri and Aika during that part. PFFFFT! <_< Even though this song doesn’t fail, it fails for being performed at a Coupling concert and then having what is, in my opinion, the best part omitted from the DVD. Other than that i was okay…

Ai copping a feel of her own butt = HOT!

Inspiration

c/w of Renai Revolution 21

Jun Jun and Koha have to stretch to reach each other so give up. I lol’d

Man I hate this song!!! Hate it, hate it, hate it *throws toys out of pram* Ai and Risa do this high pitched singing near the end and I hate it!!!1 The only redeeming feature about it with regards to this concert is that Risa managed to pwn Ai-chan in the dancing stakes. Yep…Risa >>> Ai. Want proof? Well here’s an awesome gif made by nono:)bbz from Hello! Online.

It looks a lot better when accompanied by the music so really needs to be seen. Check it out if you can. Oh and Sayumi also gets a lot of love and attention in this song. By that I don’t mean love from the other members but love from the producer as she receives copious amounts of screen time. I don’t mind this either as Sayumi is my heated dream bitch at the minute so the more I get to see  her the better ^^

Even though I hate this part I can’t deny that I love the TakaGaki touching *squee*

Subete wa Ai no Chikara

c/w of Nanchatte Renai

Death by Sayu. A noble way to die!

This is one of the two Nanchatte Renai coupling songs and I personally believe that the only reason why it was preformed at this concert was because the other (far superior) coupling song - Aki Urara - was being performed on the Nine Smile tour. The one thing I do like about Subete wa Ai no Chikara is that it has a pretty even line distribution. That’s not scientifically proven I might add, but they all seem to have equal amounts meaning extra helpings of Sayumi, Jun Jun, Lin Lin and even Koharu (lets be honest, what she did get in singles wasn’t as much as Ai, Risa, Eri or Reina but also wasn’t as little as the rest of the group). There’s also an incredibly cool dance part in the middle of the song which, if they didn’t change camera angles part way through, would’ve made an awesome gif. Hmm…anyone else notice that the dance for this song is a bit trippy? Was the choreographer on drugs when he/she came up with the dance routine? I would say that it’s quite possible that they were…

WTF are they doing? Your guess is as good as mine!

NATURE IS GOOD

c/w of Osaka Koi no Uta

♪ I want to ride my bicycle…

When the music to this song started my chest got all tight, I became really excited, and managed to remain like that for the whole song. I liked this song when Yossie was lead but I love a gajillion times more since Risa took over her part. Even though this wasn’t Risa’s song to start with I feel like she’s adopted it and now loves performing it just as much as she loves performing How Do You Like Japan? The Morning Musume Love train following Risa on their invisible bicycles is a neat little touch at the beginning and thus whoever came up with that deserves a medal!  One thing I don’t understand though is why the changed the dance for the chorus… The old way was a lot better. Maybe they had some instances of Wota accidentally smacking each other in the heads whilst dancing so decided to change it for safety reasons. I don’t know though, dodging the frantic glowstick / wotagei movements of the guy standing next to you is what these concerts are all about!!! Hopefully it’s a temporary thing. Either way, LOVE LOVE LOVE this song ♥

Nature is Gooooooooooo~d! Ai, even if you endorse it I refuse to join Greenpeace!!!

Please! Jiyū no Tobira

c/w of Onna ni Sachi Are

NO U!

At the beginning of this song Risa & Koharu, Eri & Jun Jun, Aika & Risa and Sayu & Lin Lin sing parts together (in twos). Every pair get close to each other apart from Risa and Aika. Hells, Risa doesn’t even get within spitting distance of Aika and I think that’s funny as fuck XD I honestly can’t blame Risa for not wanting to get close to her. Here’s caps for proof (if needed):

This is a very happy, genki song which always gets me pumped up even if it’s not a favourite of mine. The opening boob jiggle is very appreciated even if I do say so myself. Especially as the camera was on Risa and Eri at the time (^_^) Oh…and there’s also a bit where Risa and Eri do a jumping high-5 and it’s funny as hell because it looks so stupid. Gotta love the pair of them ♥ Other than that I don’t have much to say about this song.

umm…I actually liked Reina’s close up at the end of this song ♥ Don’t judge me!

SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~

also not a c/w

Reina: …and then he put it on my nose!!!  (^_^)

Sayu: OMG!!!

IN THE MOUTH!!!

I should be angry because this is also not a coupling song but I just can’t get mad with Sexy Boy. It’s just not possible. Sexy Uee Uee~! The dance is great, the song is great, everything about it is great! Anyone noticed how Reina does an impression of a fish gasping for air during parts of the dance? Always brings a grin to my face :D

*nosebleed!*

Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan!

c/w of Resonant Blue

♥♥♥

When I first saw this song performed during a concert (Resonant LIVE) I really didn’t like it but I’ve come to understand that my decision then was probably because of the stupid outfits they were wearing (fisherman’s sou’wester fail!). Now I absolutely love the song with – as you can probably guess – the ass touching parts being my favourite. It’s always so happy and lively and the girls seem to enjoy performing it. What’s not to like about it?

-synchronised anal penetration complete! Level 10 cleared-

Happy Night

c/w of Memory Seishun no Hikari

Guys…this song is called ‘Happy Night’, not ‘Love and Peace! Hero ga Yattekita’ <_<

I believe this is the first time I’ve heard this song and I hope to dear god it is the last. Seriously!!! IMO it’s something and nothing and was the weakest song of the whole concert. Most of the girls (including Ai and Reina) struggled to sing in as low a pitch as what was required so it sounded a little forced, plus everyone – excluding Risa that is – didn’t seem that pumped up by it at all. Tsunku, please don’t make them perform this song EVER again!

END (thank god)

Koi ING

<3333

I don’t think there’s a Morning Musume fan I know who doesn’t like this song. It’s an old faithful which always makes me feel upset yet at the same time really happy. I think that’s partly to do with the way that the members look so contemplative whilst they’re singing it. Because of the way it elicits emotions I want this song played at my cremation whilst my coffins going in to the fire…or something. Providing nobody understands the lyrics I expect the melody will both tug on their heartstrings and fill them with good thoughts of my life. Yeah… <_<

Ai’s finger of WIN (reference to an earlier concert review)

♥♥♥

You put on quite a show, really had me going.

But now it’s time to go, curtains almost closing.

That was quite a show, very entertaining.

But it’s over now.

Go on take a bow.

But it’s over now…

T_T

Overall this concert was amazing with only Happy Night being a set back. The venue that was chosen for it was a mark of pure genius and I hope very much that Morning Musume get to preform in an open air theatre again. They certainly rocked the place. La’aKea from Hello! Online commented on an earlier post of mine saying that the open air setting evoked ‘end of summer’ feelings. I totally 100% agree with this statement. It’s a really amazing feeling and no other event has made me feel this way so I can see me replaying this concert many times for that reason alone ♥

P.S – I wanna be the kid Risa was waving to right at the end! No fucking fair!!!

<_<

*there may end up being another post about this concert. A jokey one!*

The general gist of [...]]]> The Yomiuri Land EAST concert was a special show that Morning Musume put on for the release of their Coupling Collection 3 Disc Set. It was held in in the open air theatre EAST in, not surprisingly, Yomiuri Land which is an amusement park near Tokyo.

The general gist of the talk segment – which lasts for the first 20 minutes of the DVD – is to count down the ‘Best 3′ Morning Musume coupling songs as voted for by the fans at the concert and Morning Musume themselves. Morning Musume were unaware of what the fans voted for so their reactions on the DVD are genuine. To start with they countdown from the 5th Best song. Once they get to the ‘Best 3′ they then compare the fans choices to their own. Oh yeah…Morning Musume were split in to 4 groups to pick their ‘Best 3′. Yep that’s right, there’s 9 members altogether and they got split in to 4 groups. How? Read on to find out as it’s quite funny.

As I can’t translate exactly what was said in the talk segment I will just supply you with screen caps and some trademark Lolli wit. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these though so I hope it’s enjoyable (and not too sexual)…

♥♥♥

Only 30 seconds in to the concert and Ai-chan manages to cock up…

“Shingling…………Shingulu Coupling”

FAIL!

But she won’t be the last one to mess up…oh no!!! Moving on to member introductions. If you don’t know who Morning Musume is by now they are…

Niigaki Risa

(the best member of the group ♥)

Lin Lin

(AttenSHUN!)

Tanaka Reina

(who thinks she’s awesome)

Mittsui Aika

(doing us a favour by covering up her fivehead)

Jun Jun

(who’s just fucking sex)

Kamei Eri

(the token idiot)

Kusumi Crackaru

(who I miss T_T)

Michishige Sayumi

(who likes to use a firm grip, and I don’t just mean on her microphone [see earlier NR post])

and Leader…HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

(or Takahashi Ai to you and me)

Happy Halloween!

(yeah, it was filmed around that time lol)

As I said earlier the Wota in the audience were asked to fill in a questionnaire with their top 5 favourite coupling songs. The 5th most popular coupling song was…

YOWAMUSHI!!!

Eri: EHHHHHHH?!

Risa and Sayumi are so happy they high-5 not once…

not twice…

not three times even…

…but FOUR times!!!

Ai: Oi Risa, the only one you’re allowed to slap around here is me! You know I get jealous when you do it to other people T_T

Risa: Sorry Ai, I’ll make it up to you later *wink*

Ai: Plus think of the poor Wota who have to stand there whilst you slap someone who you don’t usually get slashed with!

Risa: I said I’m sorry, what more do you want?

Sayumi: Come on…Gaki♥Shige. You know it can work!

Sayu: Can I spank…I mean high-5 Risa one more time?

Ai: NO!

Sayu: Bitch…

Moving on. The 4th most popular coupling song was…

HAND MADE CITY

Reina was asked why she thought this was picked and she stumbled on her answer…

Ai lol’d!

and Koharu tried to be funny so got smacked upside the head by Sayumi

Nothing overly interesting here (unless you understand Japanese maybe) so the 3rd most popular coupling song was…

Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan

Ai: Ooh…I like this one because Reina touches my butt during the dance :D

Risa: Tanakacchi does WHAT?!

Ai: Uhh…nothing >_>

Risa: Eww…the thought of that fucking Yankii touching your ass makes me want to vomit!

Risa: Urgh…I have a headache just thinking about it. Sick! Anyone else have something to say?

Koharu: Me! Me! Pick me!

Koharu: I like this one too as during the dance I get to squeeze Sayumi’s butt :D

Sayu: THAT’S YOU?! WTF I thought it was Eri… Urgh, I feel sick as well now…jeez!

Risa: Someone…kill me now!

I think they were actually talking about the hats they wore during this song on the Platinum 9 Disc tour and about how Koharu’s was massive and would hit everyone else in the head lol.

As that was the ‘Best 3′ song the girls are now split into their pre-decided teams for the Best 3 countdown.

TEAM A CONSISTS OF:

Leader Takahashi Ai

Ai: Umm…sexy teacher Risa…umm…can go to the toilet please?

Risa: Ai, don’t roleplay out here. You know it turns me on!

Ai: But I actually really need to pee T_T

Michishige Sayumi

Sayu: Usa-chan PEEEEE~ACE!

Ai: Gah… *must hold in pee*

and spazzy Kusumi Koharu

Koha: Here

Ai: Can we speed this up please *clenches buttocks*

TEAM B CONSISTS OF:

The Amazing, The Incredible, The sexy…

♥ Niigaki Risa ♥

Risa: That’s me!

and Lin Lin

Lin Lin: Pork…CHOP!

TEAM O (yes ‘O’) CONSISTS OF:

Yankii Reina

Reina: Yeeeeeeeeah~!

She who shall not be named

and Jun Jun, who’s so fucking cool that she can only manage to raise one finger to announce herself

>_<

Risa: Is that everyone? Oh hang on there’s some random person left…who’s that? Oh yeah…

TEAM AB CONSISTS OF:

Kamei Eri and ONLY Kamei Eri. LOLOLOL

(if you haven’t figured it out by now they were split in to groups depending on their blood type)

So Morning Musume’s choices for the 3rd Best coupling song were…

Team A: Koi ING

Team B: Odore! Morning Curry

Team C: Koi ING

Eri: Watashi ga Tsuiteru

Eri: Umm…excuse me…

Risa: NO ERI, if Ai can’t go to the toilet then you also can’t go to the toilet either!

Eri: Actually I was gonna ask why it says Eri and not Team AB?

Risa: Because…FUCK YOU!

Lin Lin: Yeah…FUCK YOU!

Risa: Shirow has a small penis Everyone else’s names are written in tiny writing under the Team names…

…where as yours is written really big. STFU about it!!!

Lin Lin: Yeah man…just dance!

*does Odore! Morning Curry dance*

The 2nd most popular coupling song was…

Love & Peace! Hero ga Yattekita

Reina: I told you (Risa) that this song would come up. I won the bet! I won me a night with your girlfriend and my strap on. ‘AVE IT!

Ai: You what???

Risa: Take it for the team!

Ai: FOR THE TEAM!

Risa: Hopefully they won’t see the hidden camera I set up… MUHAHAHA

Morning Musume’s choices for ‘Best 2′ were…

Team A: Ai to Taiyō ni Tsutsumarete

Team B: Aki Urara

Team O: Dekkai Uchū ni Ai ga Aru

Eri: Koi ING

Sayu: There’s a part in Ai to Taiyō ni Tsutsumarete that goes ’san-side’

Ai: San-side??? It’s SUNSHINE you RETARD!

Sayu: Fuck you! I know what I’m talking about you socially inept show off >_>

Risa: Don’t talk to my girlfriend like that *beats Sayu down*

Risa: If anyone asks Lin Lin did it!

Lin Lin: WHAT?!

Risa: Ok, so we’re all in agreement about letting Lin Lin take the blame? Good

Lin Lin: Bitches…

So the 1st most popular coupling song as chosen by the fans was… (drum roll provided by Lin Lin)

Koi ING

Eri & Koha: We bet on that one so we get sexy time with Ai too! YAY YAY!

Jun Jun: Don’t forget me, I put money on that one as well. We can have a foursome. I’ll bring toys…

Ai: Oh god…this is some kind of joke right?

Risa: For the team Ai…for the team!

Reina: Once you’ve been with me Ai, you won’t want to go back to Risa *wink*

Ai: Oooh…you’re that good?

Risa: FUCK YOU TANAKACCHI!

Morning Musume’s choices for their most favourite coupling song were… (again, drum roll provided by Lin Lin)

Team A: Aki Urara

Team B: Popcorn Love

Team O: NATURE IS GOOD!

Eri: Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan!

Ai: YOU PICKED THAT PIECE OF CRAP COUPLING SONG FROM MR. MOONLIGHT?

Risa: Yeah, what of it?

Ai: Argh man you suck!!! No sex for you for a week!

Risa: but…but

Ai: Right guys, lets leave so I can take a wazz we can get ready for the songs. Risa…you can sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

Risa: Aww…

END

I really enjoyed the talk part of this concert because for the first time ever I could actually understand a large amount of what was going on. Obviously what I wrote here was a send-up so please don’t take it as truth but trust me when I say that you’ll be able to get a general feel for what they were talking about even if you don’t understand any Japanese at all. My post about the Concert will be up on Tuesday…hopefully, and will be a review not a piss take (^_^)

Ai: 2 minutes. That’s all I need because I’m a ♪ smooth operator…

*samui*

They start getting closer. I start to get hotter… ♪ Move closer, move your body real close to me.

Then Risa [...]]]> Here, as promised, is the TakaGaki love that was to be had during Inspiration. The 6th song during Morning Musume’s Resonant LIVE concert.

Ai: 2 minutes. That’s all I need because I’m a ♪ smooth operator…

*samui*

They start getting closer. I start to get hotter…
♪ Move closer, move your body real close to me.

Then Risa makes sure Ai can’t go anywhere. Not like she is

If it’s not bad enough that they’re ‘getting their jollies’ (thanks glasseyelashes) on stage, it’s also plastered over the large screens…

If I was at this concert geez! I would’ve needed some tissues AND a toilet break x_x

Ai’s really leaning in to Risa, probably getting herself off on Risa’s body *nosebleed*
Risa’s on the other hand, seems not quite sure what to do…

…then submits. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em ^_^

(A)I CAME!!!
（’ー’* ）

Thank you, thank you very much. We’re here ’til Thursday. Try the veal!

They’re still laughing / exchanging looks ♥ Possibly arranging a date later – in one of their hotel rooms.
GET IN!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The songs a piece of shit so this was a nice, unexpected bit of visual gratification ♥♥♥ I’m never gonna pass up on some TakaGaki rabu rabu.

FYI – There were some other TakaGaki bits during the concert. Just some sly looks and smiles at each other. Dating much?

I hope these two never leave Morning Musume…ever!!!

Some people are saying that they think Risa was drunk when they recorded this. I’m kinda swaying [...]]]> Oh My Gaki these two are so hilarious XD It doesn’t matter that I have no idea what they’re saying, just the way they act together is LOVE LOVE LOVE ♥

Some people are saying that they think Risa was drunk when they recorded this. I’m kinda swaying in that direction too. Especially when she falls over / in to Eri near the end. I would also say that Eri is ever so slightly ‘pished’ as well, seeing as she can’t exactly stand completely still either. Oh…and she’s talking about rice being stuck up her nose (and how she got it out) lololololol XD

EDIT – If you watch this video in slow motion (I was whilst I was capping) they do most definitely seem drunk. Loves it ♥

‘Sup Dawgs!

-Risa enters screen right-
Joy Joy Joy Joy
(yep…I’m ‘over-joy-ed’ too *snigger*)

♪ I’m a hip, hop, a hippy to the hippy to the hip hip hop ya don’t stop!
(some of you must know the song…)

Interview, Starto!!!
(if she had hummed the ‘Bridal Chorus’ here like Koharu did on Ameba – I would’ve wet myself)

Eri does some random thing. Must be an impression of someone, or something they’ve made up themselves XD
First thing I thought of was ‘My Germs!’ (Scary Movie 2)

I love the way Eri’s looking at Risa. Kinda like she’s thinking of all the things she’s gonna do to her later…
*nosebleed*

Risa tries to do the same impression Eri was doing. But ends up looking like a retard doing sign language XD

Hey!!! Don’t copy my pose Risa!!!
(hands on hips is a typical Lolli pose)

Send your answers on a postcard to this address -
WTF?
PO Box 2010
London
W1 LOL

There’s always one that has to take it too far! Usually Eri…
‘I believe!’

‘This Is Your Life’
(I haven’t seen that show in years…)

Risa’s grabbing at something o_O
*dead*

What the fuck Risa?! I’ve already told you about the hands on hips thing!
Dammit!

KAPOW! Back hand slap attack!
(‘Holy Chocolate Éclair!’ Adam West would be proud XD)

Eri’s so engrossed in the back cover of the DVD. Hmm…I wonder why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Risa laughter caps start now!

One minute Risa’s there…

…then she’s not! Just where did she go?

Oh…there she is!!!
lololol

Risa is consumed by laughter. I really wanna know just what Eri was saying about rice being stuck up her nose…

Eri’s so serious about her story!

Where as Risa just can’t stand up…

‘what happened was…’
(unless you know Jethro – or Cornish dialect – you won’t find that funny)

To be or not to be, that is the question;

Ooh…Welcome back Risa. You missed Eri’s soliloquy
*sigh*

Ha ha – You sort glass!!!

I would love to know what the person off camera was doing. Maybe re-enacting the now (in)famous ‘rice’ scene XD

Risa’s gone again because Eri is using her DVD cover in another re-enactment XD
Poor Risa

This bit made me roffle so much. I would love this part as a gif.
The rice…

…flew out!
lolololololololololol

Eri’s looking at her with those eyes again. Risa’s gonna have a good night!!!
*wink wink, nudge nudge*

Oh…so now you’re gonna actually show us DVD!
Maybe we’re not interested anymore…

And here we have the reason why Eri couldn’t stop staring at the back of it -
Gakini FTW ♥♥♥
I’m interested again too :P

Check dai yo!?

LOLS – Risa does this really funny deep voice here. AWESOMENESS!!!

Oh! Oh! Eri’s clinging on to Risa’s arm ♥

and has her other arm round her waist ♥♥♥
* day dreams*

Yoroshiku ne! *Risa nearly falls over*
What a great way to end a promotional video :D
