Stage Himawari-gumi 2nd [Yume wo...] 07/12/08~

excellent, thx.

 

YAY! thanks you very much!

 

YES YES YES!

After hearing Hana isn't Tomochin's replacement anymore, I did a little googling, and according to the Japanese wiki:

ひまわり組2nd Stage 「夢を死なせるわけにいかない」公演

1. Bye Bye Bye

※小嶋陽菜のスタンバイ

YES!

Bye Bye Bye is my favourite unit song for H2, and if you remember, I hated CONFESSION. THIS IS AMAZING. AMAZING. It means Hana is in the unit with my favourite song, AGAIN

Now I just hope that the Takamina / Oh yay doubling hasn't changed! Here are the other new H2 changes according to the Japanese wiki:

Ohe Tomomi: Nothing is written, god I hope she's still in Bye Bye Bye.
Kawasaki Nozomi: CONFESSION, replacing Tomochin (formerly Yuko)
Tojima Hana: Bye Bye Bye, replacing Haruna (formerly Tomochin) YES!
Nakata Chisato: Dilemma, replacing Yukari (might be removed when Rina is back?)
Fujie Reina: Jelly beans, replacing Sae (I was right!)
Sato Amina: CONFESSION, replacing Yuko (formerly Haruna)

Yuka's new replacement is a SEED called Chikano Rina. She doesn't seem to be a part of that batch of SEEDs we saw a while back. Have there been auditions since? There's also a new SEED floating around called Kohara Haruka, I have a horrible feeling she's going to be Takamina's replacement. Oh yay hasn't actually performed once since H2 started... I thought she recovered from her injury?

BUT HANA'S IN BYE BYE BYE! AND POSSIBLY WITH OH YAY!

 

Detective Kyobu is back with a double post!

OH YAY MIGHT STILL BE IN BYE BYE BYE.

They performed on the same day, so the Takamina replacement spot is still most definitely open to Oh yay. NOW I JUST NEED COFIRMATION, NEEDS MOAR SCHEDULES.

Edit: NO! Looks like a SEED called Miyazaka Miho is Takamina's replacement. She's there on the only day Takamina isn't. Looks like Oh yay isn't even in H2. This had better be temporary.

 

I wouldn't triple post but, this is important stuff, haha. I've found a full list of replacements:

前田敦子 /　成田梨紗

小野恵令奈 /　奥真奈美

峯岸みなみ /　早野薫

河西智美 /　小林香菜

秋元才加 /　成瀬理沙

篠田麻里子 /　大堀恵

野呂佳代 /　松原夏海

大島麻衣 /　倉持明日香

高橋みなみ /　駒谷仁美・宮崎美穂

増田有華 /　小原春香・近野莉菜

大島優子 /　佐藤亜美菜

小嶋陽菜 /　戸島花

佐藤由加理 /　中田ちさと

板野友美 /　川崎希

宮澤佐江 /　藤江れいな

佐藤夏希 /　駒谷仁美

So, Miyazaka Miho replaces Takamina AND Hiichan? Or, does Hiichan and Miyazaka Miho replace Takamina? If Hiichan is Takamina's replacement, that'd be cool, but I got Hiichan and Hana in defense. I want Hana and Oh yay. THERE SHOULD BE Hana and Oh yay.

Where's Oh yay? Himawari-gumi just got even more fail. Hana being in Bye Bye Bye has made me happier with the stage, but I WANT A5 ASAP.

 

^ Like Himawari-gumi's 1st stage, Oh Yay is the "official" replacement of Takamina but she's been out sick, she's still out on and off now so Hiichan became the temporary replacement.

 

So Hii replaces Takamina, and Miho replaces Hii? When Oh yay returns she'll replace Takamina, Hii will only replace Natsuki and Miho is just... gone?

 

I am as confused as you, and so are most of the fans. The show I saw today, Tojima Hana performed in BYE BYE BYE. This stand by thing is confusing. Miyazawa Sae performed in about 3 songs. Naruse Risa performed in about 2 songs. Naruse Risa wasn't in the regular self intros in the beginning. Neither was Haruka, although she performed throughout most of the full-member songs. Matsubara Natsuki appeared for a few songs here and there.

I have no idea what is going on. You seem to know more about the replacements than I do.

PS>>> Tojima Hana, while we're on the topic, has a new self intro. It includes the crowd (or at least her fans) all screaming "GAO!!!" together. it's a call/answer thing.

Hana: [says something about her name]
Crowd: Hana!
Hana: [repeats same thing as above]
Crowd: HANA!!!
Hana: Lion-san......
Crowd: GAO!!!!

I immediately thought of you when she did that

 

^ Ahah, that's awesome

 

So, I am going through the H2 rips from the depot..

I'm wrecked. I'm screwed up. I am literally getting teary eyed knowing that I probably won't be able to see it live.

OH MY GOD. THIS STAGE IS AWESOME.

I mean seriously, I am emotionally hurt at not being able to see it. Wow.

 

WORD!

I DL#ed the songs today, too and... whoa. INSTANT WIN for most of the songs. I can't wait to get the H2 DVD. Sadly, it will be a while. Well, still got H1 to buy, right? ^^

 

I've had the concert on loop for a while. My favorite songs:

01 Romance, Irane
02 Yume wo shinaseru wake ni ikanai
03 Let's get "Ato 1 cm"
04 Ai to Pride
06 Hajimete no Jelly Beans
08 Kioku no JIRENMA
09 Confession
10 Mori e ikou
12 Ikirutte subarashii
13 Ai no moufu
16 Heart ga kaze wo hiita yoru

Overall, a good stage. I'm happy with it.

 

Rock da yo didn't deserve that amazing intro. Okay, thoughts:

Romance, Irane - OH YAY!
Yume wo shinaseru - OH YAY!
Let's get ato 1cm - EW NO.
Ai to pride - Oh yay!
Bye Bye Bye - OH YAY!
Hajimete no Jelly beans - Oh.
Tonari no Banana - Oh yay!
Kioku no Dilemma - Oh.
CONFESSION - EW NO!
Mori e ikou - Lol Queen.
Seishun no inatzuma - OH YAY!
Ikirutte subarashii - Oh yay!
Ai no moufu - Oh yay!
Rock da yo - It would be EW NO if it wasn't for the intro. So - Oh.
50% - Oh.
Heart ga kaze - Oh yay!

So the winners are: Romance, Yume, Bye bye bye and Inatzuma.

 

I'd like to know that, too. For me, Mori e Ikou is on the top of my list, right beside Romance, Irane!
No lol in there (but a lot of queens [although some princesses too]). It's pure awesomeness.

 

Mori e ikou reminds me of Queen too ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irp8CNj9qBI ), I think that's what Kyobu is going on about it. Although, I do like the song. haha

 

I'm pretty sure Kyobu's Queen comment is a reference to the 80's rock band, Queen. It fits, but I still love the song.

In fact for me, the strings remind me of Elanor Rigby (sp?) by The Beatles.
