So, if you haven’t noticed I’m a Berryz Koubou fan… notice it now.
Lately, Berryz have been on-the-ball. They aren’t hitting any wrong notes for me (well, okay, maybe Yurina had a few in the recent concert) and are looking more amazing every day (except that Squeak Puppet looks perpetually 12, which I’m sure is part of her appeal). The girls are becoming better singers (why, hello, Socko and your amazing ability to always hit that high note in “Rival”, except how the hell would she be able to lip synch that one note only) and better dancers (Captain had a few times recently where she didn’t stand out as being noticeably better than the rest… because some of the other girls were performing at her level) and the fame is… well, it seems like it’s finally coming.
Berryz is doing some kind of break from singles at the moment, as a new one has not been announced yet. (°C-ute has a new one dropping in September, I think.) What this means? Well, there are a lot of us who are thinking that a new album is coming. If that *is* the case, I’m looking forward to it. Berryz’ FIVE album was awesome, and I think they can only get better from there.
The next Berryz Koubou concert series will have a title that is something having to do with standing out, so I have high hopes for it. Additionally, one of these concerts is going to be played at C.C. Lemon Hall. While it is not a large venue (it can only hold about 2084 people)… it is almost never used as a dance floor, but is said to have marvelous acoustics. It could be interesting to hear some of the recordings from there, although I believe it’s one of the first shows for that tour so it’s unlikely to get recorded for the DVD.
I still need to finish watching the new concert… it’s already made a few people in Berryz lovers, so I know it has to be awesome, but I wonder if it could bring my own love to even higher levels. We’ll see. I have to do dishes and laundry first!
