The Shibuya AX 2009 Set List Best 100 Review! pt. 2


Disc 2:

disc-2

Sae hotness <3 Anyway, last year, I thought that Disc 2 was my least favorite of all XD But this year, it’s a great selection, with quite a bunch of old nostalgic AKB songs :D

iii-akichatomominontii

The first commenters are Akicha, Tomomi-chan and Nontii. Quite an unexpected but fun combo! I love Aki’s socks BTW.

75-anata-to-christmas-eve

 

Anata to Christmas Eve: Ahhh! This is a real fan favorite, isn’t it? For the nostalgic value, I guess. I love to see Ayu-nee back on stage! She was one of my favorites <3

74-mammoth

Mammoth: Whoa. I’ve always loved this, it sounds kind of “mean” in a way XD Although it does lose a bit of its effect in a huge stage… Yuko’s hair is back to being lovely :D And they are singing live… O_O Go K!!!

73-aitakatta

 

Aitakatta: Cute to see them again with that old dress, I like the fact that Team B has its own stage now, so we can see the girls of A and K performing their old songs <3 I find it strange that this song didn’t make it higher on the list, but at the same time, I’m glad we get the stage version! And Lovely Kitarie is lovely <3

72-mori-e-ikou

 

Mori e Ikou: This here is one of the best songs AKB has come up with, musically speaking. It’s lovely and haunting and a blatant Queen ripoff all in one XD I also voted for this one so YAY! I feel like I was an important part of the selection of this songs (ofc I know I wasn’t :D)

71-shinkirou

 

Shinkirou: Myao <3 I’m sure that she’s going to be the next Acchan, and I love her and respect her a whole deal for it. Shame that Haruna wasn’t present, but it wouldn’t make a lot of sense having her there without Rina, and of course, I’m never mad about having Chiichan in anything at all <3 They’re singing live too, I’m impressed, that’s so rare for AKB concerts…

70-futari-nori-no-jitensha

 

Futari Nori no Jitensha: I have a soft spot for this song, I love the verses, even though the chorus is dumb. Funny how Team B girls know the other team’s choreographies, but the A/K girls just clap along or fail miserably at trying to copy their dance steps back in the bleachers XD Mikipomu D:

69-aisareru-to-iu-koto

 

Aisareru to Iu Koto: YESSSS! This one is my favorite AKB ballad ever, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s sung only by Team K members! I hope that this one manages to appear in all of the future AXs because it’s a crime that it never got a proper PV and it wasn’t part of a Stage either…

68-dear-my-teacher

 

Dear My Teacher: Old school version again. I like the full AKB versions of DMT (because Mai and Yuko share lines) but since Mai isn’t even in the concert it doesn’t matter anymore XD Nice chance to see the original girls back where they started

67-boku-no-sakura

 

Boku no Sakura: God, I don’t like this kind of ULTRA slow ballads at all. I haven’t listened to this full song ever, I always skip it, it’s so… boring. And I totally didn’t recognize the beginning of the song, I was like “WTH is that? SKE?” XD I FAIL at AKB fandom…

66-hatsukoi-dorobou

Hatsukoi Dorobou: The K4 song EVERYBODY loved to hate. I thought it was cute, when Erena wasn’t bored as hell and if the costumes had been a bit prettier XD But I still think that it has its own charm, and Kaorin is simply adorable here!

65-hajimete-no-jelly-beans

 

Hajimete no jelly Beans: This song is a gimmick, like most things Acchan is part of, but I love it, it’s so much fun to jump around and sing in a high pitched voice! Also, YAY! Original cast <3

64-kikyou

 

Kikyou: Takamina was adorable in that big overall and hat! She kind of looks like a toddler though :D And I’ve always loved Yukari in this song SO much. She’s always super happy even though she didn’t even get a solo line, and only got to sing like 3 words in the whole thing… I <3 you Yukarin!

62-glass-no-i-love-you

 

GLASS no I LOVE YOU: Well, here’s the thing, this is a good song, cute and fun and stuff, but it has been overplayed to the MAX. I wish they stopped singing it at every concert D: At this rate every girl will have appeared in at least one version of this. Oh! Risa is back! How sad that she was shafted all the time, but she got the last laugh with her super racy gravure photobook and whatnot.

61-idol-nante-yobanaide

 

Idol Nante Yobanaide: I’m surprised that with this all star cast and all, this didn’t make it to a higher position. It’s always nice to see, if not much else.

60-boku-to-juliet-to-jet-coaster

Boku to Juliet to Jet Coaster: The fact that this didn’t make it to the top 50 almost infuriates me! This is my favorite AKB song, ever (well, sometimes it is :P) It’s soooo good that it hurts. Also Yuko OMGOMGOMG. I’m speechless. And Yukirin… This unit just got EVEN better! :D Yuko and Yukirin in the same song! They sound amazing…

59-16nin-shimai-no-uta

 

16nin Shimai no Uta: This song reminds me of why I LOVE Team K so much and they’ll always be my favorite Team! :D They managed to make this fun song even better by having the actual members appear instead of cardboard panels. Meetan, Yuko, Sayaka and Kasai are win here, and of course, so are the 3 singers! Lovely Natsumi, funny Nacchi and klutzy Kana. TEAM K FTW!!! 

58-namida-uri-no-shoujo

Namida Uri no Shoujo: This costumes are genius, so I’m glad to see them on stage again :D I really like this emo WTF song, even if it has the most screwed up lyrics ever. I wish Maimai was present though, but yeah, I’ll take what I can get :D I’m surprised that Amina got a big role instead of Myao though.

57-melos-no-michi

 

Melos no michi: Team K power FTW! I love this, especially the dance off. I’m sure that no other Team could pull it off as well as K does :D Rock on, girls!

56-koi-no-chewing

 

Koi no Chewing: I like this song, it sounds very old school, but I was NOT expecting it to see it this high, or even in the top 100 at all.  Oh Lovetan, how I love you so you damn cute kid! <3 Those dresses are stupid though :P But I enjoyed this performance a lot!

55-kimi-ga-oshiete-kureta

 

Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta: Again, I liked filler songs a lot more when they were a bit more upbeat than the ballads of A5/B4/K5. However, this song isn’t a favorite of mine or anything, I liked it back in A4 because Hana had tons of screentime, but with no Hana, it doesn’t interest me as much. BTW, why the hell is Haruna just sitting there in the background instead of actually doing something?

54-erai-hito-ni-naritakunai

 

Erai Hito ni naritakunai: The only glimpse of old school fun loving and bouncy Team K we got in K4 was this hyper pop-rock number. It’s really an infectious song, when I watched it performed live I wanted to pump my fists in the air and scream my lungs out :D

53-two-years-later

 

Two Years Later: Great song. Team B means serious business in this concert, you can tell that they’re all doing their best up in that stage. Haachan fierceness all over the place too! She’s awesome, I’m telling you.

52-dareka-no-tame-ni

Dareka no Tame ni: Uhm… Don’t kill me now, but even though I think that this is a great song and it gets stuck in my head forever, I’m not exactly its biggest fan. It’s still nice to see them back in the old white dresses and doing old school stuff

51-run-run-run

 RUN RUN RUN: I love the high energy feeling of this performance, it’s great to see Himawarigumi together again, it was a great idea, especially with H1, H2 was kind of all over the place XD

iv-kitariesasshimocchi

The other commenters were 3 of y top favorite AKb members! New generation FTW! Kitarie, Mochi and Sasshi. They are quite talkative and funny, so it’s a nice combination.

    I was doing a recap of concert 2 with your review and noticed that Romance, Irane (no. 63) was missing. No big deal, you can review it here! So… what did you think about it?
