So in a (somewhat) recent concert, more specifically C-ute no honne, C-ute did a special performance of their single Crazy Kanzen na Otona. Where Nakki and Mai tried their hand at pole dancing
fans would love that right? apparently not
comments include
'Is this a strip show or something?'
'Too indecent'
'It's nice they're trying something new, but I'm not digging the skimpy outfit and dance routine'
though there have been some praises, saying it's cool
sugoi
when I first heard about it, I was interested as pole dancing is extremely tough, requires a lot of muscle and endurance. I've never tried it, but I've seen some youtubers talk about trying it (youtube obsessed usagi right here), and also it doesn't look easy.
after watching it, I think the actual pole dancing was fine, but I totally agree with the third comment about skimpy outfits, Airi, Maimi and Chisa are dressed as cops and the outfit is pretty skimpy :/
so that was a bit OTT
but I think a good job well done to Nakki and Mai, I was impressed by them. they must have trained hard (they said for a month), so I hope they're not sad about some people's reactions. it's just the costume designers who should probably tone it down. it's unfortunate pole dancing seems to have a negative connotation for most people, with their minds immediately flicking to strip clubs, but at the end of a day it's an art form. personally i think it's impressive how people have the stamina for it.
anyways here's the video if anyone wants to check it out
when I first heard the name, I didn't have high expectations, I dunno the name didn't appeal to me. but after hearing a radio rip, I'm quite excited for it.
Now there's a clear version from when they performed it at a concert
Starts at 2:00
Love Miyabi's kirameku~~
line distribution is also good
also I should add after seeing their costumes for it, it made me more interested.
they show some on their blogs
I only watched that song, so maybe their other A side is in that video too UPDATE PIC
The DVD is finally outt! I'm slowly watching their concert via Eduardo, thanks very much Eduardo!
Sounds good so far, and love their costumes^^
One of my favourite is Ikiyouze, though I haven't finished the concert yet
Aren't they cute in their suits? must be so hot though!
I also enjoyed Aa Koi and Lonely Girl's Night^^
so do look for yourselves
I may do a concert review, though I'm sure Risu will
though I would say I don't think they should open on SHOCK, even if the concert is called that..it's just not very fair I don't think..
and for Masaara Blue Jeans, why is it that only Airi and Maimi sing the chorus? I mean shouldn't they all sing it, especially since they have two less members, they should want the vocals for the chorus especially to be very powerful, the other three..just dance...
but anyways do watch!
UsaTEN
Just a little pop in! Hope you guys are having fun and such~ I've been checking on the blog whenever I can and it's doing fine~ Though I wanted to see more counts on the poll... Anyway, I've only watched the beginning of Massara Blue Jeans and the solo/group songs from SHOCKING and I'm...incredibly not being biased when I say Aa Koi wins by faaaaaaaar!!! I had such a fangirl moment with all the cool dancing Airi was doing....*siigh* Lonely Girl's Night was only ok and Kimi no Senpou disappointed me a little since I expected more from them..afterall, it's three people! There should of been more energy with them? Well I'll probably update again once I watch it all! BY THE WAY Buono's gonna be participating in a live event in Odaiba!! I wonder what they're gonna do~? Risu OFF!
Hii! This is Risu! Before I begin this, since there are quite a little spoiler-y things I say. Please check out the live on this channel -> Buono! Saikou!
Alright then! I'm gonna give my thoughts on the individual parts! Let's goo~
One Way=My Way
It was a great way to start the concert, loved the little dancing and the singing was great too~
Our Songs
This was good too thought I think Airi seemed a bit out of breath here. More emotion was put into the song
MC
Nothing too special here...though Airi made a pun... xD; She says: Yoi Shuuto! Naisu Shuuto!
(Good Shoot! and Nice Shoes!) *she says pointing to her shoes...*
Minna Daisuki
This was REALLY GOOD! Dancing was great, singing was excellent, the killer ending from Momoko! Daisuki! <33
Cafe Buono
The littlecalling outs were really cute! Such as the ciaos and such. The Instrumental bit was really cool too...made me fall in love with the song again...
MC
It's like...my fantasy manga come true. A real Buono Cafe! Unfortunately I didn't really understand much but it was a perfect lead to Koucha!
Koucha no oishii mise
Koucha was...SO GOOD. IT WAS EXTREMELY CUTE! From the little turns at the beginning all the way to the end! The singing was so good, especially Miyabi's "hayai no yo" though Momoko's "tsuite yuku" was a bit strange. The harmonies were also amazing and only now did I think...this song is like a perfect advertisement for a fake cafe haha. Plus...The first time I watched this...I really felt like wanting to cry! Well I was no where near crying or even teary but it seriously moved me, this performance.
Urahara
Very good too! I loved the second verse and the dance was quite cool too! The Instrumental with everyone cheering was really heartwarming and made it even better
Blue Sky Blue
Amazing singing once again. My favourite bit? Probably when Momoko kinda hit herself and looked really shocked haha! Momoko's singing was particularly good here I think
MC
Momo just says this album's really amazing isn't it (I totally agree) Then Miyabi speaks about Urahara...Momoko says something like: I love Miya's 1st and 2nd "b-melo" (?) and Airi agrees and they both kinda excitedly goes: I know right!? right!? haha and well Miyabi thanks them...
Gachinko de Ikou
Very very cute. Pay attention to their faces! Cute expressions~
VTR
This was a very cute VTR hehe. Basically...this is "if Buono had a radio station" or something like that...and Momo introduces herself and her "guests" and asks if they could pass her the soumen to her...then she begins to eat it and then Airi and Miyabi react like: "Oh! I see! We're the GUESTS right?? I see how it is..." hehe. Then Momo asks them to read some cards saying "Please" and "Food" With Miyabi saying, could you not eat while I'm talking "please" and Airi stealing the soumen and upsetting Momo kuku! That's such a cute moment! Well I'll leave you guys to watch the rest anyway! <3
Buono no teema~
I loved the little actions and dance of this song. The solo bits were so cool with their dancing and both of Miyabi's "Buono!"Dolce finally appears too!
Rottara Rottara
Dolce made this so much better~ But I love this song anyway! This performance was great too
Independant girl
Manly Momo arrives...! I really could tell they sang their hearts out here as it was soo powerful. Too amazing!
Kataomoi
Ahh ahh!!! The song I was waiting for!! I'm SO glad Dolce was there to do this. When this came on, the mood completely changed. It was just so awesome! Definitely one of my favourite songs of all time…
MC
I think Momo tells everyone to be careful because if Buono injured themselves, it'd be sad...:( And introduction of Dolce~
Bravo Bravo
Kukuku!! I loooved Airi scolding the audience..."Don't ehhh me!!!" haha! Airi's "motto motto!" too! Miya's motto motto was cute too but I forgot which performance that was in gomen ne! An amazing performance! Loved "Minna saikou" too
Rock no Kamisama
This song is always great live! nuff said~
Nakimushi Shounen
One of my favourite cafe buono songs...this was quite wonderful too
Lady Panther
Omgosh Buono. SO INDECENT!!! First time I watched this, I had to cover my mouth as I was gasping! gosh. Haha! I also wondered how comes Momo's more covered up than the other two xD Well it was really cool and cute and made this song even more fun than it already is. Plus, two things to note: They do their individual "shoubu" and they also change "hachigatsu (August)" to "nigatsu (February)" first time I heard it, I was really confused and thought O_o? Did someone sing the wrong lyrics? Clever~ (Sankyuu!)
Renai Rider
Wao, there was a really nostalgic feeling to it from the guitar. Very amazing once again and energetic!
Warp
This song is always always amazing live!!! The bit after the instrumental! Airi saikou! Miya Sekushii~ Momochi kawaii! Great performance~
Kiss Kiss Kiss
So so so soooo good! The way they sang it was soo good and the calling out and cheering bit was so good!
MC
Omg I had to rewind and Miyabi’s bit…so cute! Miyabiiim! Shakiin! I think she also said her dad got mad at her..? xD
Tabidachi no Uta
Ah this was too sweet..their singing was very good especially momo, the petals at the end were pretty too
Encore
Miya’s shocked face was gorgeous…but she got scolded by Leader hahha
Encore was great!! Buono saikou!!!
Well that's it! To summarise this (sorry I ramble too much) I'd say...my favourite performances were Koucha no Oishii Mise, Kiss Kiss Kiss! and probably Bravo Bravo just because of Airi love hehe. But to be deeply honest...ALL of the performances were great! I highly recommend watching this! Best they've sung yet I say! Though the MCs weren't that interesting this time (at least compared to Rock n Buono 2!) Well Risu's completely exhausted now so I'm off.
Good night everyone~
