First it was Airi, Risako and Sayumi singing Momoiro Kataomoi:
Then it was Sayu and Risako with Robokiss:
Now at the upcoming joint Berryz and C-ute concert, we have Risako and Airi singing a duet version of Very Beauty.
It’s always interesting when H!P repeats things like they do here. Sometimes I wonder about Tsunku’s decisions. I wonder how he came up with songs like The Peace and Sou Da! We’re Alive, why he constantly promotes only certain girls, and why the hell he can’t create a decent faster song for Matsuura Aya anymore. Then I realize that I already know why. The reason, my friends, is that Tsunku can afford better drugs than most. And he can probably afford a lot of ’em.
I predict that Airi and Sayu will be performing a duet sometime soon… Oh, and is it just me, or does Risako dance incredibly lazily? Just more to hate about her…
Yeah Airi and Sayu.. May be in the next concert !
And the Robokiss performance i hate it so much ! And yes Risako was so lazy and aaahh I dislike it so much >.<
I listened to one of the concert recordings, and Risako DESTROYED Very Beauty. I actually wanted to cry, because I love that song so much.
And as for Risako being a lazy dancer, I’ve been saying that for months! (I think… I’ve definitely complained about it in the Dschinghis Khan PV… And that was March – so yea… Months! XD) While I’m not at the point of hating on Risako, I’m definitely not all that impressed with her. She’s highly overrated.
@nozofan: I didn’t think the Robokiss performance as /so/ bad… I mean, I was expecting my ears to bleed. but istill didn’t like it much.
@maiZe: Oh noooo…. no! I mean, I expected it (she even ruined it on the single, for me), but I was still secretly hoping that Risako was able to not kill that performance. Oh noooo!
And yeah. She’s waaay over-promoted, in my book.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sugaya is the laziest performer I’ve ever seen. In the really energetic concert numbers where everyone’s engaging with the audience and having a good time, she just looks like she doesn’t even want to be there and has this incredibly snotty, bored look on her face. It drives me insane. DX Sometimes I feel like I could grow to like her, but I can’t tolerate this in an idol at all.
Can’t wait for that Airi/Sayu duet if things do go as you’ve predicted~ Though Airi will definitely outshine Sayu vocally, but hey, I don’t care. XD
i like the way risako dances, i find it endearing.
Even seeing the pictures of the “Robokiss” performance, I noticed how Sayumi was really putting her all into the dancing, making exaggerated/cute faces and the like, while Sugaya was just riding on her effort without doing much herself. The best example is this picture:
…which I probably just hotlinked from Hello! Online’s picboard. Just go to H!O and search for Sugaya’s name in the Sayumi catagory, you’ll find it. XD
Well we have to think Tsunku is basically providing the songs but there is a higher up in UFA which is why we don’t always favor the songs/performances completely. Tsunku is more like the face of UFA, I’m sure Tsunku would have given the girls more of a chance.
@Vupli: Ehe, you’re welcome? I’ve never liked Risako (ever. Even when I couldn’t tell them apart, she was always “that one i don’t like”), so her lazy dancing just gets added to the list of things to dislike about her. And actually, I really like Sayu’s voice. ^^’. So I’d love hearing that duet.
@momotaro: That’s interesting. her laziness is endearing?
@Yossha: Yup. Sayumi > Sugaya, every time. And the link you gave me wouldn’t work, but I can guess which picture it is.
@strawberrie: That’s sort of what I was thinking… but Tsunku on drugs is more fun of an idea.
