So I got my hands of the set of H!P 2005 Winter concerts.. Those 2 concerts shared the same preformance set but with different artists.. Here’s my take on those concerts.
Note: all of what follows is MY opinion.. You may or may not aggree with what I think is good or bad..

Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|
Akagumi: Nice opening. H!P Brats did pretty good. Even with Rika’s voice being as bad as always in the v-u-den part Yui and Erika did their best to cover for her. Country Musume and Melon KinenBi were really good and then.. Morning Musume girls.. Good stuff.. And then the highlight of this song: Ayaya’s solo.. Man.. This girl can sing..
Shirogumi: Berryz as good as ever, Yuu-chan, Kemeko and Goto solo lines were pretty good too.. W part was just terrible..
Winner: Akagumi

| The Peace! |

Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|
Akagumi: Really solid preformance. Not much to comment. Rika’s solo by one of the Brats. Kind of blah. Things to look for: Makoto’s and Reina’s line.
Shirogumi: Lots of Maki lines.. And that’s a good thing.. ;p Once again the spoken part is done by one of the kiddies.. Things to look for: Ayaka’s hotness.. ;p
Winner: Akagumi

| Yeah! Meccha Holiday |
|
Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|
Akagumi: No comments. Things to look for: Sayumi doing ‘Aahh’
Shirogumi: Things to look for: Atsuko’s and Goto’s moves..
Winner:

v-u-den
|
W
|
v-u-den: Rika sounds decent, Yui seems to be trying to sound a little bit deeper than usual, and.. Erika is amazing..
W: Other than in the ’suki-suki’ part I REALLY hate Aibon’s voice..
Winner: v-u-den
|
| Hare Ame Nochi Suki |
|
Masae Ootani, Miki Fujimoto, Hitomi Saitou, Kaori Iida
|
Maki Goto, Kei Yasuda, Yuki Maeda, Yuko Nakazawa
|
Akagumi: Masae, Hitomi and Miki are simply amazing here.. Tho Miki sound a little bit too soft. But I guess with strong voices from MKB girls they needed something to soften the song. Kaori.. Well.. She sounded just like she sounds on her solo albums. ‘Out there’ seems to describe her pretty well in this song.
Shirogumi: Amazing preformance from Kei and Goto.. Not much from Yuko but at least what she did was pretty good.. (is it just me of Yuko looks kind of chubby here?) Yuki sounded kind of out of place but it could be just me not being use to her voice.
Winner: Shirogumi

Winner: Shirogumi

Shirogumi: Aibon.. Can’t stand her voice.. Bah.. Maybe she can join Konno as seiyuu.. ;p Things to look for: Atsuko’s dance in the begining of the song..
Winner: Akagumi

Akagumi: Opening by Takahashi.. MKB and CM girls are really good.. Without Shibata this song would suck.. Yoshizawa.. Mmmmm.. Hot..
Shirogumi: Opening by Goto. As much as I love Nakazawa I think her voice was the only one that didn’t really fit this song. I even liked how Berryz sounded.

Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|
Akagumi: Risa looked soo happy here. Probably cause it’s one of the few songs where she actualy got her own line to sing. ;p Things to look for: Sayumi right at the begining..
Shirogumi: Most of the Berryz preforming their own song..
Winner: Akagumi
|

Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|

Shirogumi: Average preformance.. If it wasn’t for Goto’s lines it’d be even worse..
Winner: Akagumi
|
| Te wo Nigitte Arukitai |

Hello! Project Akagumi
|
Hello! Project Shirogumi
|
Akagumi: Average song.. The only thing to look for is Sayumi’s random cutenss.. ;p

Winner: Akagumi
|
| THE Manpower!!! |
| Morning Musume |
Akagumi:’Takahashi is a gorilla’. Hitomi sounds a little bit weird. Otherwise a decent preformance.
Shirogumi: see above.. ;p Different preformances but the same description applies..
|
| ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL! |
| H.P. All Stars |
|
Akagumi: Is it just me or the timing on some of the lines is a little bit off? Few times it sounded like they started singing like half a sec too early.. Or maybe it’s just me..
Shirogumi: Nice ending. Sounds much better than the Akagumi DVD version. Probably because all the strong voices are all rested because they didn’t preform in this concert.
