Now it’s time to reveal which were for me the most stunning H!P<\/strong> dance numbers in last year’s H!P concerts. Stunning here means also breathtaking experience because that’s what these three performances really were.<\/p>\n

Wild wild wild<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maimi Yajima<\/strong> is amazing dancer! She is one of the best dancers in H!P today. If even the best. When I saw her movements in Tokaikko Junjou<\/strong> PV my heart skipped some beats and I was mesmerised at once.<\/p>\n

Maimi’s solo number in Natsu DOKI Lipstick<\/strong> song from C-ute Live Tour 2007 Aki ~Houkago no Essence~<\/strong> DVD is really captivating. She proves to have good sense of rhythm, flexible body and hot appearance. You know what I mean when you look how Maimi moves her hips.<\/p>\n

\"Maimi\"<\/p>\n

Now when we know Maimi’s skills I just hope that UFA<\/strong> does not try to push her to solo career (not yet) and follow the tracks of Maki Goto<\/strong> (never).<\/p>\n

Strike a pose<\/strong><\/p>\n

Berryz Kobo’s<\/strong> two concerts at Saitama Super Arena on 1st April were the most remarkable achievements on groups career so far. Memorable concerts with so many awesome moments. You can sense the intensity Berryz girls felt on that evening when watching 2007 Sakura Mankai Berryz Kobo Live ~Kono Kandou wa Nidoto Nai Shunkan de Aru~<\/strong> DVD.<\/p>\n

Every Berryz concert documentary has it’s own very special numbers. Sakura Mankai has at least two stand outs. It’s cool when the whole group performs their first single Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai<\/strong> with original choreography but even cooler for me is Chinami’s<\/strong> and Yurina’s<\/strong> version of Nicchoku ~Geinoujin no Kaiwa~<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Chi<\/p>\n

Girls are walking along the catwalk like professional models and looking absolutely stunning with their grand posing & leg movements. Saki<\/strong> or Momo<\/strong> can not do this kind of numbers. You need long legs to make catwalking enough effective. So which one wins then in this model competition? Full points go to Chinami. She just gives much more of herself to this dance routine. Natural born model?<\/p>\n

Cat fight<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a fact this last one was performed in Morning Musume’s<\/strong> 2006 concert Aki ~Odore! Morning Curry~<\/strong> and was released as DVD on 27th Dec 2006. But I bought and saw it in the beginning of 2007 so you understand why it’s here.<\/p>\n

\"Eri<\/p>\n

My eyes were popping out when I saw Eri<\/strong> and Hitomi<\/strong> doing this Shabondama<\/strong> number. Eri has always been very entertaining in her own personal way but I’ve never before seen her as wild and violent as when dancing this song. Shabondama [Soap Bubbles] is one of the most furious songs MM has ever recorded. It’s about uncertainty in love and life. Love is like soap bubbles. Nothing lasts forever.<\/p>\n

\"Eri<\/p>\n

Both girls are dancing this piece with strong, rough and aggressive manner. They are fighting against each other. Hitting, kicking and shouting like she-devils. When Hitomi kicks Eri down to stage floor and Eri starts crawling on her all fours, I just keep gasping for breath and thinking how cool and to the point going this choreography actually is. One of the MM’s all time classic dance numbers already.<\/p>\n
