Bikkuri Project

Since I have plans to attend this particular Momusu concert, I am quite interested in the setlist. It’s a very unique one, full of songs that are rarely to never performed in concert. Wow. My feelings are a bit torn here. On the one hand, I’m lucky to be able to see some rare performances. On the other hand, I wish there weren’t quite so many songs that I’m not very familiar with. I understand that they’re doing more B-sides and album songs since ALL of the last concert tour was singles, but I think songs are more fun in concert if you know them well enough sing along. Here’s the list, credit to 2ch, with my thoughts on each in purple.

Setlist
01. Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai jan! Meh. Not a very memorable B-side. Couldn’t they have picked something better for the first song of the concert?
02. Mikan Okay. Kinda had to be there, but still not my favorite MM single. This concert isn’t off to such a great start.
Self-Introductions (From the left : Tanaka, Kamei, JunJun, Michishige, Takahashi, Niigaki, Koharu, LinLin, Aika)
03. Pepper Keibu Another one that had to be there, but I’m excited to see this one performed live, especially that awesome dance break.
Opening Movie
04. TOP (Kamei dance solo) Kamei dance solo!?!? Awesome! Good music for a dance solo.
05. Yah! Aishitai Cool. I like this song.
MC
06. Inspiration Whoa. Where did that come from? I actually had to look this one up. It’s the B-side to Renai Revolution.
07. Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii jan Of all the singles to chose to include…. *is grumpy*
08. Purple wind (Takahashi, Niigaki, Kusumi, Aika, JunJun, LinLin) All right. This is a decent album track.
09. Lemon Iro to Milk Tea  Cute! We had to get at least one really cute song in among all the sexyness of this setlist.
MC (Kamei, Michishige, Tanaka)
10. Tan Tan Taan! (Koharu) Ewww. Koharu solo. Bring out Yuu and Sayaka, then we’ll talk.
11. Watashi no Miryoku ni Kiduka nu Donkan na Hito (Aika) Hey, they’re giving Aika another solo! That’s the second concert solo she’s had already in her short tenure with MM. Impressive. What is this song though? I can’t find mention of it anywhere. New album track maybe??
12. Guru Guru Jump (Koharu, JunJun, LinLin) Same with this song. Where does it come from? Anyway, glad to see some JunLin focus.
13. Indigo Blue Love (Niigaki) YES! Gaki-san solo, and it’s this awesome sultry song. Looking forward to this one.
14. Take off is now (Takahashi, Niigaki, Tanaka) Another mystery song, at least for me. If anyone knows where all these songs are coming from, please let me know.
MC (Koharu, Aika, JunJun, LinLin)
15. Dou ni ka Shite Doyoubi An obscure song, but at least I can identify the source (1st album).
16. Koi no Dial 6700 Um. This comes from a really old (circa 1970’s) Japanese boyband. I don’t understand!
ＭＣ (Takahashi, Niigaki)
17. Souda We’re Alive Very pleased with this one. It’s one of my favorite MM singles, and I’ve really been wanting to see it live.
18. Onna ni Sachi Are Okay. Neither thrilled nor dissapointed. Next.
19. Roman ~ My Dear Boy ~  I think I’ll like this one live.
20. Koko ni Iruzee  Another of my top MM singles. Well chosen!
MC
21. Resonant Blue Nods. Had to be here, and I really like the song, so I’m not complaining.
Encore
22. Ame no Furanai Another big YES! I was so hoping that they’d perform the mysteriously CD-less song at this concert. It’s so pretty.

23. Aozora ga itsu made mo tsuduku you na mirai de are! (No train)They sure love to end with this song, don’t they? I’ll go with it.

So, a really mixed bag overall. I can’t say I’m not a bit dissapointed. I just want more songs that I actually know!  Don’t worry, I’m still looking forward to the concert a lot! They could have opted to sing each and every one of my least favorite MM songs, and I’d still be excited to see them in person.

Just for speculation’s sake though…here are some songs I wish they had included instead.

Since we’re mostly dealing in album songs and B-sides, I would have loved it if “How do you like Japan?” was included. Also, “Koe” or “Koi ING” and “Say Yeah! Motto Miracle Night” would have been nice. I was also kind of hoping that they might do some MM Sakura or Otome gumi singles since those weren’t included in the All Singles setlist, and I really love all of those songs, but no such luck. Well, since I’ll definitely still be here in spring, there’s always the next concert tour!

Ya win some, ya lose some,
