When I see girls crying on my TV screen also I start sobbing and in the deepest outburst of feelings I can&#8217;t avoid tears appearing in my eyes.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Konkon's tears\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/stuff\/hp_summer2006_01_kon.jpg\" alt=\"Konkon's tears\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This happens almost every time I watch these graduation concerts and other touching stuff. Regardless how many times I see those documents I just start sobbing with the girls. &#8220;You are such a sentimental fool&#8221;, said my friend when we were watching <strong>Zone&#8217;s<\/strong> final concert. Well, I have never denied it.<\/p>\n<p>Now I have seen <strong><a title=\"YesAsia.com\" href=\"http:\/\/global.yesasia.com\/en\/PrdDept.aspx\/code-j\/version-all\/section-karaoke\/did-161\/pid-1004479418\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hello!Project 2006 Summer final concert<\/a><\/strong> a couple of times. What makes this dvd&#8217;s watching experience more emotionally than any other&#8217;s is of course the fact that it was also Konkon&#8217;s graduation, her last appearance evar with MM\/H!P. Needless to say what happens to my eyes when concert hits to it&#8217;s climax.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because of <strong>Konkon<\/strong> but I find this dvd one of the best H!P concert recordings evar. You should notice that I don&#8217;t say it&#8217;s da best one, because we are missing so many outstanding H!P artists such as <strong>Maki<\/strong>, <strong>Aya<\/strong>, <strong>Nacchi<\/strong>, <strong>Miyabi<\/strong>, <strong>Aibon<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Nono<\/strong> and so on. But as I said, it has a certain &#8220;sacred&#8221; place in my dvd shelf.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Risa near to collapse\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/stuff\/hp_summer2006_02_risa.jpg\" alt=\"Risa near to collapse\" \/><\/div>\n<p>And what about concert itself? There are <strong>MM<\/strong>, <strong>Biyuuden<\/strong>, <strong>Berryz<\/strong>, <strong>C~ute<\/strong>, <strong>H!P Eggs<\/strong> and <strong>Marippe<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Makoto<\/strong> as CMs. Also Nono with crutches makes a brief appearance. They blend groups and songs so watonly! Like <strong>Risa &amp; Eri<\/strong> singing Country Musume&#8217;s Hajimete no Happy Birthday or <strong>Hitomi<\/strong> &amp; others performing Berryz Special Generation. Berryz by themselves are doing <strong>Boyfirend<\/strong> (<strong>Miyabi<\/strong> absent from this concert) and <strong>Koha<\/strong> sings Koi Kana. Just wondering if others performing Berryz songs wakes non-Berryz-fans up to realize that also Berries have cool &amp; catchy songs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Bye bye Konkon &amp; Mako\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/stuff\/hp_summer2006_03.jpg\" alt=\"Bye bye Konkon &amp; Mako\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Then there is this long graduation segment with lot of trembling voices and wet cheeks. <strong>Risa<\/strong> is always been almost hysteric weeper but this time she manages to avoid total collapse. Farewells are hard naturally to all 5th gen members but also 6th gen is quite out-of-balance. Bravest ones are of course leader Hitomi &amp; sub-leader <strong>Miki<\/strong>, although also they have their moments.<\/p>\n<p>Besides concert this dvd has also some bomus tracks. There&#8217;s backstage clips and then whole Berryz (including Miyabi) performing Boyfriend &amp; Nono doing Maki&#8217;s Uwasa no Sexy Guy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese are so emotional and I think there&#8217;s that kind of sentimentality also in me.
