The Shibuya AX Request Hour Set List Best 100 Review! pt. 3
Disc 3:
SHAMUNEKO FTW!!! Best song ever. Anyway, Disc 3 is amazing, as we approach the top 25 we get to watch some of the greatest AKB songs!!
Haruna, Myao and Mariko make up the next team of reviewers. It’s quite funny to see them interacting with each other, because the dynamics are different from the usual, with Haruna being an original member, Mariko a kind of original member and Myao the new star.
Blue Rose: Blue rose is cooooool… How can you not love this song? It’s simply a classic! No skimpy surprise to us from Meetan, but still, amazing performance by the original line-up, no less.
Tadaima Renaichuu: Ahh the memories… I SO love this costumes, I’m glad they’re back, if only for a bit… Kohara would’ve fitted so well in A, I’m still surprised that she’s in B, but I like B more than A so, that’s fine too XD I love Miichan’s hair, BTW, it looks totally gorgeous. And Kitarie, please stop being so beautiful, you distract me kthxbai.
SKE48: Oh come on. Fixed song ranking is fixed. Anyhow, I’m amused by the fact that I’m just like AKB haters when it comes to SKE48 “There are too many girls, and I can’t tell them apart from each other, except for like 4 of them” XD But I hope that that changes when S1 is released as a DVD… Wait. Full version too? WTF? Stop it already…
Aozora no Soba ni ite: This reminds me of Hana’s graduation, so excuse me while I go cry a bit T_T Er, wait, what’s up with the fugly boots? Seriously.
Tonari no Banana: I love Tomomi-chan, and I’ve recently rediscovered my love for Erena as well. This song is cuteness overload all over the place!
Kimi wa Pegasus: This song is pure and raw pwnage. Although Sae’s collar was all over the place when the song started XD. Sayaka is the best prince ever <3 *drool*
Bye Bye Bye: The Ogi trio is always a fan pleaser. I like this song, though. It’s all happy sounding but it’s about dumping someone XD I love when AKB does that…
Shiroi Shirts: Cute, happy and random song. I liked the letters in the back of their shirts, although I don’t know what the hell they said
Confession: Yuko + Sayaka in a sexy rock unit already should make this song top 1. It’s very good eyecandy too!
Yuuhi wo miteiru ka?: Not my favorite single, and the fact that I have like 42678 versions of this song in my ipod doesn’t help much either… But I guess it’s sort of cute? Or something? Yuko looks cute in green <3
Amai Kokansetsu: Go Meetan! Making it to 40 is pretty freaking amazing, I’m so proud of her! And she’s supper happy to be there performing too, how nice! WTH was I thinking about when I got THAT screencap O_O
Himawari: I love you so much Mocchi, but Maimai is this song for me. Bleh. I hate how she’s never around, I’ve been thinking that she might appear more next year, as a graduated member, than when she was part of Team A.
7ji12fun no Hatsukoi: Ohyay! I love her so much! I missed her voice and her smile so much… Gosh this concert is wrecking me completely…
Ai ni Ikou: This song makes me happy!
The rap part is so freaking random though, I love it too! I’m proud of being a fan of Team K, they are so awesome and have this amazing feeling about their team and it really shows!
Heart gata virus: Oh crap. Kitarie is my favorite Team A member now that Mai is gone, but, that means that I like Mai more than Rie… I was really looking forward to this (and I even VOTED for this song) to watch Mai perform it, but yeah, enough of my whining! Kitarie is so freaking cute! And also, Nozofisu!!!
Nagisa no Cherry: Acchan cracked me up in last year’s AX commentary, when she confessed that she didn’t know the steps to this song anymore XD I hope that she practiced more this time, she looks like she’s not so nervous. Well, she looked happier last year too, but Acchan is Acchan. I think hat she really enjoys what she does and works really hard but has a hard time expressing that…
Baby! Baby! Baby! I almost never listen to this song, I think, but I like it. It sounds a bit dated and the lyrics are stupid, but retro is part of AKB’s flavor anyway, and if I wanted meaningful lyrics I wouldn’t be listeining to idols XD Anyhow, good times when Sayaka was senbatsu and everything was alright with the world… BTW, Mariko earns a golden star for not missing any day of the concert despite being one of the busiest AKB girls. Thanks, Maririn!
Kagami no Naka no Jean darc: I can never get this title right. Well, you know, the crazy french chick who went and fought in a battle or something. This song is so much win, the only thing I’d change about it would be solo lines for Tanamin and MIkipomu
And speaking of which, here you can see that Miki was an excellent performer, so all that “I’m not up to par with my team mates” crap was just BS. And now I’m mad again… Mikipomu D:
Korogaru Ishi ni Nare: 32? WTH I’m so voting this song as much as I possibly can next year. Because it’s TEAM K, BIOTCHES!!!! KICKASS KRAZY KOMPOSITION here. I’m lame I know, but this song isn’t
At all.
Nagekiss de Uchiotose: Kayano is back!!! She’s absolutely adorable! I can’t get over the fact that she graduated, even though it happened a million years ago… I’m also very happy that they brought her back for a cute song and not for Itoshisa no Defense, because I was quite disturbed seeing her in such a grown up song…
Kaiyuugyo no Capacity: Favorite K4 song FTW. I love this, it sounds like something straight out of a Wink album. My favorite part are the lyrics, but the choreography is also very nice. And so are the costumes. Team K wins at life.
Namida no Shounan: My heart broke last year when Maimai didn’t sing this, it’s prbably my favorite of her units. But now she’s back!!!
And Chiichan getting Ayumi’s lines was totally unexpected… Maimai! It might be my bias, but I think her mic was louder than Yukari or Chiichan’s because I only heard her during the chorus… Werd.
Tsundere!: They always end up looking like clowns in screencaps XD Still, this song is amazing. I always end up dancing along regardless of the place or what I’m doing at the moment I hear the song, HI RIE!!!!
Kinjirareta Futari: Ahhh! Kinjifuta! yuko and Tomo are 2 of my all time favorites, and this song is just epic, as far as idol songs go. It’s nice to see the original 2 again, after so many shuffle concerts XD I love the camera work in this one. You can tell that they’ve both become better actresses by now too, which makes the performance even better!
SHAMU NEKO: Loads of fun, with a little bit of cuteness and diva attitude thrown in the mix. Amazing song.
Kickass trio for the second comment part!!! Nacchi, Sayaka and Sae!! Funny how Sayaka totally grabbed the second cushion in a different way than all the other girls XD




























All the discs of this were great to me. Though I do think it sucked that Jesus (which is just hilarious to listen to the chorus of) and my two favorite singles (same as yours, seifuku and Keibetsu… seriously how could those two raunchy totally inappropriate in so many ways songs not make it in)?
Ahh… I’m really a H!P fan but AKB is sucking me in more and more. Haven’t decided yet if I’ll send in for the SDN48 auditions due this weekend or not just for the hell of it.
