Yokohama Arena Concert - MG Special Review

They start off with the usual skit where every major character comes on stage from Majisuka Gakuen.

Majisuka Rock 'n' Roll
This is the best performance of this track... ever. All the girls in the back messing around instead of just hopping around.  However, Matsui Jurina doesn't even look like she is trying to be in character.  No yankee/ yanki image at all.

Boku no Taiyou
Not much of a badass song, but everyone is involved.  I think there are more girls from the rival school than from Majisuka Gakuen!

Skirt, Hirari
As soon as I heard the start I thought why.  Yeah they are all in uniforms, but mostly long skirts.  So much for fanservice.  This also does not add to their hardcore image.  I love how Mika Komori never looks like she is singing.  

Kagami no Naka no Joan of Arc (Team Hormone - Kitahara Rie, Sashihara Rino, Komori Mika, Takajo Aki, Nito Moeno)
This is perfect for Team Hormone. 

Confession (Rappappa Underlings - Nakaya Sayaka, Tanabe Miku, Yonezawa Rumi, Katayama Haruka)
They got barely any screen time that I think this is wonderful.  They don't get much time in general.  The dancing section was on the lamer side of things, but it distracted me so I didn't see the stage rise.

Haru ga Kuru made (Kabuki Sisters - Kasai Tomomi, Kuramochi Asuka)
Okay you are not even trying to sing songs that suit your character.  This track screams kabuki.  I'm just giving you a hard time.  It looks and sounds wonderful.

Hatsukoi Dorobou (Sansho Sisters - Miyazaki Miho, Oku Manami, Oota Aika)
I knew that at one point there would be a loli number!  Every stage has one.  They haven't really filled their requirement for the other two concerts.  My little darlings... if only you beat someone up during this set.  That would have been perfect!

Heart gata Virus (Watanabe Mayu, Akimoto Sayaka, Miyazawa Sae)
At first I thought this was the weirdest combo ever!  I was under the delusion that I would get bored because they were staying in character.  Then Sae made me fall over!  Sae you WIN!  This is the best one yet!  The devilish Mayu, confused and annoyed Sayaka, and two faced Sae (handsome girl v. girlish idol).

Gomen ne Jewel (Ono Erena, Takahashi Minami, Minegishi Minami, Matsui Jurina)
Another odd combo... miscellaneous characters?  This is absurd!  Amina Sato got more screen time than Jurina Matsui yet she is playing back up dancer... so is Mika!  Calling so much bullshit.  Someone go find Matsui a boyfriend or something!

Classmate (Kojima Haruna, Itano Tomomi, Kashiwagi Yuki, Matsui Rena)
The grouping of the four Queens, makes sense.  What song did they pick?  I love how everyone sings normally but Matsui Rena is giggling like a serial killer.

Temodemo no Namida (Rappappa leaders - Oshima Yuko, Shinoda Mariko)
I love this song!  I love Sado!  Yuko is pretty badass.  This should be good.  Eww.  Their voices don't work for this song.  One of them needs a deeper voice, plus Yuko's inflection doesn't mesh.  Wow this sucks!  Such potential...

Kinjirareta Futari (Maeda Atsuko, Nachu)
Isn't this the lesbian song?  FUCK YES!  Nachu is going to talk all her lines! WTF  Nachu your making me choke on my tears!  Her silly idol voice works!  Best performance of this song ever!  We've got two major, epic, winners so far.

Akkanbe Bashi - Watarirouka Hashiritai (subgroup)
I love this song.  The fact that everyone is joining in is a little added bonus, but nothing out of this world.  Amina is enjoying herself as usual.  It is nice to see them all getting into it.  Congrats at making the #1 spot!

Aozora Kataomoi - SKE48
Bungee Sengen - SKE48
Yume wo Shinaseru Wake ni Ikanai
This is a good shuffle.  Wonderful performance ladies!  Amina is winning a lot of points, so is Rumi and some of the newer members.

RUN RUN RUN
I guess no more Majisuka Gakuen theme.  This is what I want to see in a concert from AKB48.  The classics performed with a new line up that I haven't seen.

Kodoku na Runner - SDN48
FINALLY!  SDN48 is here!  They should of performed this at every concert like SKE!  I would like to see them in their single costumes for this song.  NACHU... CINDY!

Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara
Woot!  One of my favorite singles because it does not contain the usual front girls.  I do enjoy happy, high energy songs. 

Romance, Irane
Senbatsu?  No, same as the other two.  It is great, but watching the same performance during three different concerts is dull.  In this case it is understandable. 

The following I have reviewed already for the previous concerts:
Iiwake Maybe
RIVER
Aitakatta
Namida Surprise
10nen Zakura
Oogoe Diamond
Sakura no Shiori
Kimi to Niji to Taiyou

I do love this track.  It is the same as before as well.  Wow I skipped a lot.  I still think they could of messed with the single collection for each concert set.
BINGO!

Hikoukigumo
This may be the best encore set out of the three.  

Now they announce agency changes.  Till watching this I had no idea how significant this really was.  Girls crying when hearing who had selected them.  Amina didn't look too thrilled.  I figured out who the big agencies are.  I think I am going to do a whole post about this.  I guess as the group becomes more popular the girls will get more demand by talent agencies.  I did know beforehand that Amina's agency isn't going to be too good for her.  I also knew that Ogi is home of the subgroups.  They have all the members of the two major subgroups of AKB.  Yeah, I'll be doing some research when I get back. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I don't know how to take screenshots with my DVD player, even on my computer.
