The Shibuya AX Request Hour Set List Best 100 Review! pt. 4
Disc 4:
Watch out. Top 25 songs! Woot! Some really great songs in here, and also, look forward to Team B’s absolute pwnage of this concert 
Reinyan, Takamina and Yonechan are the first commenters. Odd combination, but still fun!
Sougen no Kiseki: Sayaka solo lines are gorgeous! (I’m running out of adjectives in this review XD) I’m so happy to see this song getting some love, though. I insist, K3 is all kinds of awesome, and underrated as hell too. Kana’s super bright KK hat was hilarious
Kuroi Tenshi: Funny, this song is as gimmicky as anything Acchan has ever been in, but I LOVE her in this. Somehow, her voice fits the music and the theme. And Reina is pure love, I mean, WOW. Akicha is cute too <3 Great song.
Wasshoi B!: I’ve rambled enough about this song. It’s pure and epic idol fun.
Nakinagara Hohoende: Yuko Solo. Isn’t that enough to give you an idea of how awesome this song is? Only ballad I love with all my heart and listen to regularly. I wonder how will this sound with her new voice? Probably less husky? We’ll have to wait until next year to find out… I’m voting for this one like crazy again next year Imagine if Yuko could be No. 1… That would be so cool! (and Team A fans would gouge all of Yuko’s fans eyes out in anger)
Yume wo Shinaseru wake ni Ikanai: WTF? Unexpected as hell!!! This song is very cool, I wish this would’ve been a single instead of Romance, Irane, but if this had gotten such a crappy PV I would’ve gotten even madder, so it was probably for the best. It ended out being a B-side, which isn’t bad at all!
Only Today: Nooo… Hana graduation concert dresses… This song is a favorite for most Team A fans. I like it alright, but I insist, I like Tadaima a WHOLE lot more… To each her own, I guess 
BINGO!: I used to love this song a lot more than I do right now XD Maybe it’s because it’s 1am and I should be sleeping, or maybe BINGO is getting old :O It’s still a great idol song, though. There’s something very powerful about seeing that stage crowded with AKB members…
Tenshi no Shippo: Nakayan in Top 20!!! Take that all of you haters!!! I’m so happy to see her in this position! This is the cutest song that has ever existed in AKB, and yet I love every single note of it. And also, the frilly costumes with cat tails are adorable to no end!
Renai Kinshi Jourei: This made it pretty high on the list! Wow! And people weren’t even sure of who the members of this unit were back when they voted, so they took a leap of faith XD Imagine if takamina and Miichan had ended up in Manatsu no Christmas rose lololol
Sasae: This song has a special meaning behind it, and it’s all about how aweosme Team K is, which is why it has a special place in my heart, but even I won’t deny that it can get pretty boring… But this isn’t the case, happily. The girls are very cute, and interact with each other during the song, also appearing to be very touched and it’s heartwarming to watch (if you’re a Team K fan, I guess)
Gomen ne Jewel: It totally deserves its position, what a great song. Yuko is so good at looking cute and emotional at the same time!
Faint: GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *orgaosms* That’s all I’m saying about this song.
Junai no Crescendo: Another great song, Miichan looks particularly beautiful here, doesn’t she? It’s nice to see the ogi trio doing this great song again, I insist, A4 was such a great stage!
Kioku no Dilemma: Maimai! Musically speaking, this is probably one of the best AKB songs. It’s very soothing, and all the girls in this unit help enhance that feeling. Also Yuka + Maimai = Love. I love this costumes BTW, they are so flowy and femenine… i love the fact that Nontii doesn’t have that awful hairstyle she had in the DVD, too. That was hideous.
Oshibe to Meshibe to Yoru no chouchou: Team K is so win for having songs like this… Meetan and Tomomi play their parts like no other girl can in AKB, and they both look stunning in this concert. Wait… did Meetan kiss her for real???? O_O
Sakura no Hanabiratachi: I would’ve loved if they had invited the 5 A girls who graduated so that they would’ve been a part in this… It’s very nostalgic to see them in that dress, remembering how they looked and acted back when A1 started and how different they are now…. Our girls have grown up!
Junjou Shugi: Excuse me while I go and yell my lungs out for Haachan!!! I voted for this song too! and I was really happy to see it in this position! Everyone who watches this should agree with me, the girl in red is amazing!!! And so are Matsuyuki and Moeno, of course I’m just super happy about this song being in the top 10!
Ashita wa Ashita no kimi ga umareru: RIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAA! Wow. I really really miss her voice D: She sings like an angel, and looks like one too… I miss you RIna, please sing again!!! Also, Sayaka and Sae look stunning! Chocolove should continue even if Rina isn’t part of AKB anymore!
MARIA: Nothing can beat the epic gothic lolita-ness of this song! Yuka is SUCH a great singer! And I’m always happy to see Umechan in this without changing hairstyles and editor bloopers as in K3 Tomomiiiiii- I love you girl! She’s all kinds of awesome!
Pajama Drive: I’m amused by Nacchan backdancing and doing nothing in Nagisa no Cherry and Nage kiss and then STORMING out in number 6. to pwn all. Go NACCHAN! I love this song, it’s what made me like Mayuyu, because I thought she was just cute and loli but nothing else before, but when I saw that she can really fire up for a performance, I loved her.
Saishuu Bell ga Naru: The title track of K4, it’s so full of energy and coolness! Team K really knows how to raise the bar! This performance is great, there’s cuteness, jumpiness, and fierceness! Amazing.
Bird: If you haven’t heard this song yet, you should go and do that right now. It’s amazing. I know that this song is number 4 because of Takamina, but the reason why I love it so much is Maimai. This song made me fall in love with her, and her lines are my favorite part of the whole thing. So I’m super happy to see that it’s a full version!
Temodemo no Namida: Mikachiii!! I’m so happy to see her back on stage! The cheers were also amazing, and se looked surprised, how adorable! This is a really moving performance, Mikachii is injured, so she can’t walk much, she has a chair, and Yukirin dances really close to the chair when they do the dance. I cried watching this, it’s too much…
Oogoe Diamond: Kana back there in the Kurukurupaa costume is amazing The girls in the back are dancing too, but it doesn’t really look like they’re part of the song, only the senbatsu do. Boo. They should’ve performed this as a whole whooping 48 girls group. Screw senbatsu, Yuko and Sayaka don’t have many lines anyway
Shonichi: TAKE THAT AKIMOTO! Ok, I don’t know if I should be mad at Akimoto or someone else. But Team B always gets shafted in singles and stuff like that, and it’s so unfair. So it serves them right, to see that fans love this girls, and they got them to number one. The girls are all really excited, and crying. Takamina is crying in the background, how cute! Only a few girls are singing along in the background though, that’s funny. They all must be like “Hmm… I wonder why the fans of my team didn’t think of making us No. 1 too…” LOL.
Hikoukigumo: This was the encore song for the last day, there was an encore song for everyday, but this was the only one that wasn’t hidden on the DVD. B fans are mad, they think that the DVD should’ve ended with Shonichi, but I honestly think that regardless of how cool it is to have a Team beat the others, I’d like to see AKB48 dancing as a whole to close to whole thing. Hikoukigumo is already being overdone IMO, but well, whatever… Oh wait, this is only Team A singing? Fuck this. The background is 100000 times more interesting XD Yuko stole Kana’s onion and ran off XD And Nontii, Umechan and another Team K member doing funny dances and Sayaka jumping around… Ahhh… Team K is so much fun!
And finally, the last commenters for this DVD: Yuko (<3) Acchan and Yukirin They were great at it!!!
YES! I finally finished your review on AX Top 100! (It took me three days -.-). Thank you for a such a detailed review… it really made go back and watch a lot of the songs. I’m still not really familiar with a lot of the songs, but this review really helped!
Thanks for reading! I was afraid that nobody might want to see it since it wasn’t brought up in IW or anything u_u But the fact that you read it makes me super happy! Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful
Seeing your review makes me want to purchase it. Any suggestion where can I get it? How much is it?
HI! I’m glad you want to buy it
Sadly, AKS (AKB’s office) is releasing this DVD collection only through retailers in Japan. If you’re interested in buying it, the price goes about 200USD, which might seem expensive, but it’s actually a pretty sweet deal as it comes with 5 DVDs and a very beautiful photobook.
My suggestion is that you register in http://stage48.net/forum and then contact the user “rui” She might help you out, as she has a deputy service that charges only 500yen and is very effective and trustworthy. Anyhow, good luck, and do let me know if you need more info.
