Berryz Kobo Tsudoi 2 FC DVD

Right. I got this Berryz Kobo Tsudoi 2 Fan Club event DVD ISO file yesterday and then burned it to DVD. Now I've watched it two times and must say that I like this more than previous Berryz FC DVD that was Magazine #9. That's because this is shooted before the audience of shouting fans and girls a playing kind of board game on stage.

When funny game, where girls challenge in many tricky tasks, is over, Berryz do a mini concert with five favorite songs: Suhada Pichipichi, Sabori, Passion E-CHA E-CHA, Natsu Wakame and Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba.

Here are my first captures from this DVD. These are from the beginning of it. More to come later.

New Berryz Fan Club items

These just keep coming. Here's some examples of new stuff Berryz Fan Club is selling.

I still have an extremely strong opinion & request that UFA should allow also members outside Japan to join BK (and all other H!P artists FCs) Fan Club. And establish an English language site & service for these people. I mean, we should do something to get UFA's attention.

I'm not the only one who loves Berryz black t-shirts. Hi there MorningBerryz! ;) And these 3rd Anniversary shirts look super kakkoii. BlackBerryz! lol!

Berryz_hellodays_2_fc_dvd_01

This DVD has two Fan Club events (June 10th and 17th 2007).

Back side of that event DVD.

Berryz_momo_concert_solo_dvd

What is this?? Older FC DVD I suppose but not sure. Momo's solo performance?

And what about these captures then?! I'm just guessing that these are not taken from this new Fan Club events DVD but another new Berryz FC DVD.

Or maybe those captures after all are from that DVD > Check this fan site!

Berryz art - Autumn - part 1

This time Berryz Kobo girls were drawing something related with autumn.

Berryz_art_autumn_miyabi

I guess you know what is that thing in Miya's picture.

Berryz_art_autumn_saki

And that thing in Saki's drawing is of course a chestnut.

Berryz_art_autumn_risako

What about Risako's then? Cute picture as always. With Japanese pampas grass... and is that dragonfly flying over the grass?

Buono! fever rising

Meanwhile we all (at least here is one) are dreaming how cool it would be if Miya in real life could make that Guitar Hero posing with a real Fender Stratocaster let's share this fan art. Now I know I'm not the only one who has this kind of fantasy. Once again credit to this Japanese artist, whom I don't know, but who is very talented as you can see.

Somehow I even believe that this dream could come true. Remember what I said today when you see Miya with guitar in the near future.

Berryz Video Singles - 7th

I like almost all Berryz PVs and especially special versions of them. Group's 7th single Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW? is not an exception for that although I love both versions of video in this case.

Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW? came out on June 8th 2005. It's a song about uncertainty in love. Berries are holding their cell phones and reading & sending text messages with inquiring looks on their faces. Yep, this is not the happiest Berryz song but it's melancholic undertone does it. I love the song and I love the video.

The PV itself has a very cool choreography where Miya shines once again. Her dancing there is so... captivating that my eyes almost don't call any attention to others around her. Except Risako. She is getting better and better PV after PV.

When I saw this clip first time I was wondering why the hec girls are pretending to play basket ball in song's middle part. Today I see it as an indivisible part of this PV and concert performances.

Buono! as a guest in C-ute's Yokohama concert on 30th September

Buono_cds_ad

Buono!'s first real concert appearance is going to be on Sunday 30th September as guest act in C-ute's Autumn 2007 After School Tour. Buono! is sceduled to take part of the tour only in Yokohama BLITZ concert(s). There is two C-ute's concerts on that day but I'm not sure if Airi, Miya & Momo are going to be on stage in both of those shows.

There is also plans to shoot this particular concert for forthcoming DVD release. Sounds very promising!

Berryz art - Summer 2007 tour - part 2

Berryz_art_summer2007tour_miyabi_blue

Berryz Osaka concert was on the same day as was Miyabi's 15th birthday. Miya's drawing tells that story.

Berryz_art_summer2007tour_miyabi_pink

Another Miya's drawing from the same concert. It was encore and pink glow sticks.

Berryz_art_summer2007tour_maasa

Maasa was unlucky and dropped down her digital camera.

Berryz_art_summer2007tour_chinami

I guess it's Chinami's hand there in her art work. But what's it all about? Not sure but maybe Chinami flapped Momo's back too hard when they were doing radio show.

Berryz Video Singles - 6th

I see Special Generation, Berryz Kobo's sixth single, as a turning point in this groups career. Berries are stepping out of their childhood life with this song. Girls are growing up & learning fast. This ongoing evolution shows clearly in SG song and even more distinctively in it's PV. Song itself is a super catchy tune with rocking arrangement. And PV gets your breath away with it's intensive, powerful and hot choreography.

Special Generation is also a turning point for me. Before this song I thought that Berryz Kobo is only bunch of kids who sing childrens songs. In those days I hardly paid attention to Berryz. But then came SG and the rest is history.

SG was released on 30th of March 2005. It's one of the best Berryz songs and has sold over 24 000 copies. It's Berryz second best selling single so far right after Very Beauty.

As always, besides normal PV version SG's video single has two extra clips: a Dance Shot Version and Making of documentary. I think Dance Shot is even better than the original PV.
