H!P Winter 2010 Concert, Part 1

Oh yes, it's huge. (The concert that is.) It would've been bigger if YouTube wasn't evil, so unfortunately I can't go through all of the songs. I don't know how many parts there'll be. (And because there's a huge amount to go through, I will try and tone down on the detail for each song.) All of the official Hello Project Kids were there and singing, along with the Hello Project Eggs. Admittedly I haven't watched it all yet, but from what I can see it's centred around the revival of the old groups (You'll see as I go along if you don't know what I mean.) The first part was reasonably awesome. To be honest I wasn't impressed with it first, but it's grown on me. Now I love it XD The first song was called Uwaka na Honey Pie:


The wotas are waving around their glow sticks in anticipation, like they always do.


The wotas are now chanting going hyper over the pretty light and in the anticipation of seeing their favourite idols.


Every single girl that are performing in this are on the stage in the opening. This, would have been a BITCH to choreograph. There's something like 30-50 girls here. Some as young as 11. I feel sorry for the staff had to make sure everyone was dancing correctly and so on XD


There's a lot of Maasa shown, who's definitely enjoying herself. I love it when she smiles (Yes I know the picture is fail, but I'd like to see you get a clear shot! XD)


The dance is simple but awesome. Although I can't say I like the outfits too much...


EPIC Airi hair :D


Yurina's height PWNS all. It's shots like these which make you understand why her nickname is the gentle giant. For fecks sake she's not even standing up straight where Risako (in blue) pretty much is. If my knowledge is correct, Yurina's height was last measured at 5"10 and 1/2. And still growing. Needless to say, she defeats the Japanese stereotype.


Ai is looking very epic. I don't particularly like the outfits, but she pulls it off pretty well.

Ah, member/group introductions. THIS is where I explain the group revivals. (Or at least what I understand of it.) Basically Tsunku (manager of H!P) created tons of shuffle groups with almost or all the girls in H!P were in groups. The point was to see whether he could get better music from a different mix of people. Basically he was experimenting. But all of these groups kinda just died, the last one failing 6 years ago or something. Tsunku decided that he should revive the groups, once again to experiment with sound and so he doesn't just let his groups die. Or whatever. The point is he revived these groups, but now with different members. For each group introduced, I'll show you the old and the new members. Making this post, ridiculously long.
