Berryz Mega Goodbye Thread

[Anderei]

[quote="Molly"]
So that leaves Yurina, Miyabi and Risako. I have a feeling Miyabi was pushing the most. She's always seemed to want to do a different type of music than BERRYZ does.
[/quote]
 
Probably Maasa too, since she's wanted to act more.

[momoirosaya]

It had to be a majority of girls wanting to end things or I think they would have carried on.

I guess I'd rather see them graduate together though than see the girls leave one by one. Berryz has had the most consistent line up for the longest amount of time out of all the H!P groups.

These girls still have their whole lives ahead of them.

[yuzuriha]

I have been obsessively checking Risako's blog but she has yet to say what she's doing...
 
This last week is going to be really hard on me.  I keep randomly remembering and tearing up.  I have a bottle of bubbly I'm saving to drink during the concert even though it'll be like 6AM our time...
 
I am really happy Chii and Captain are staying under H!P though. <3

[Hotaru]

I wonder if Chii and Captain will end up doing MC stuff for Hello! Con's, to be honest it wouldn't surprise me.

[Noa]

So who do we think will inherit Berryz wota?

[al kusanagi]

I think C-ute should get them all. Like Highlander.

Probably. That's what Aika did. Although Aika actually stayed within H!P, so maybe that's a teensy bit different.
 
Actually, someone clarify. I'm seeing some people say that Chinami and Captain are staying within H!P (which seems odd to me given how old they are, and because of the roles they've been given) but some people are saying they're just staying in Up Front.

Anyone who sticks around in H!P will probably move to new unit, if they're the Berryz successor musically. C-ute and Berryz have been doing really different things for the past couple of years, so they don't seem like the logical move, unless you just really love you some Kids.

[yuzuriha]

Risako wants to take some time to think about what she wants to do... ;_;
 
Yurina wants to try modeling but it doesn't sound like she has anything officially lined up.
 
Only Miya is left...

[Madara]

This thread is depressing...    
 
So many memories:
 

 

 

 
My favorite memory, though, is called up by this pic, taken at Ruby Tuesday's in New Jersey on the first day of Berryz' arrival there in June 2012.

That's Captain on the right. I was standing with Al Kusanagi and some other MM-BBS-ers (Shoujo, were you there also?) and we were waiting for a table in the corridor near the exit when the Berryz contingent left. They filed past us and as Captain passed she turned to look at me and smiled. I bowed and said, "Welcome to America" and she smiled and nodded, at which point Risako and Miyabi, who were behind her, turned to look at me also, and I bowed to each of them and said, "Welcome" and "Welcome." Contact had been made! To the day I die, I'll always cherish Saki's initial smile to me.

That Yurina hasn't been modeling despite having wanting to for years is so dumb. I get that it's hard to get idols magazine work outside of idol gravure magazines but I refuse to believe someone as tall, thin, and pretty as she is can't get some work.

[momoirosaya]

Yurina is so tall she could do professional modeling in the west as well, not just Japan.

[al kusanagi]

Yurina also said she was going to concentrate on finishing university first, so she's probably going to do that before worrying about modeling.

[yuzuriha]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that part.  I read it last night but figured someone would have beat me to the punch here.

[Haru]

Miyabi will be taking a break frm music but come back to the industry. She also wants to learn more about fashion. Source http://ameblo.jp/natsuyaki-miyabi-blog/entry-11993281072.html

And so it begins! (Also. I'm keeping this pinned till the 3rd of March.)

I think this has already been asked, but does anyone know what part(s) of this will be broadcast and when. (if they are, which I think someone mentioned it was going to be broadcast)

[Shoujo Q]

They are going to broadcast the last concert on the 3rd. A japanese fan will more than likely put a live stream of it up.

[Shoujo Q]

Concert Rip of Part 1 and Part 2. (It's a very good rip too.) (Thanks to Amped again.)

[momoirosaya]

Just yesterday I was listening to Waracchaou yo Boyfriend thinking how Country Girls should cover and they did!


Does anyone know if this whole concert going to be on a DVD?

[Shoujo Q]

If they do, it's going to be expensive as hell. This is like if Hinafest and H!P Countdown had a baby, it would be this. 

[Hotaru]

This so intense and awesome. I really do hope a Japanese fan puts a live stream up...because while there will most likely be a DVD of this, it will probably be hella expensive and cut out quite a bit.

The tracklists are really good and I can't wait to hear these songs in particular ! I'm glad there are some Buono!'s songs as well.

Poor Airi.. First of a long list it seems :/..
I guess they saved Bye Bye Mata ne for the last concert. (first berryz song I liked)

Same feeling here.

[Purin-chama]

Has Masayume ever been performed before? I feel like they may have once with Reina. Miya and Airi sounded amazing though. Maimi had more songs than some of the Berryz girls.

[Anderei]

They did ages ago but it didn't make it to the DVD because it was a number that changed daily.

Fan concert recording of MM doing Dschinghis Khan

[al kusanagi]

The concert should start 4am East Coast US time if I'm correct (6pm Japan time).

I unfortunately have school unless by some miracle they cancel (didn't have school today because of Casimir Pulaski Day. Yay for an Illinois exclusive holiday) so i can't watch.
