Why are there only solos for a few members?? As soon as I saw the first solo on the list I got really excited for a Junjun solo, but nope. Damn.
Personally, I love this setlist. How could I -not-, when they’re performing all of their singles? I totally favor singles over b-sides and album tracks, so a concert made up of entirely single a-sides is great.
I like the 7th and 8th gen performing Hyokkori Hyoutanjima. It’s always been their most childish song so it makes sense that the newer members sing that, while the older members perform Morning Coffee, their first single.
I really can’t wait to see this concert. I love seeing new members perform old songs. Plus, Junjun’s bound to get some lines in all of these songs, right? xD I hope so, at least.
