Hello! Project 2011 Winter A-gana concert

First I want to give a big thanks to the wota who uploaded the ISOs and Hidders for telling me about them. This is my encode of the A-gana Live Hello! Project 2011 Winter Concert DVD.


I will do a HD encode whenever the 80 GB Blu-ray torrent finishes, but I'm not expecting it to for another few weeks.



I don't really feel like reviewing each song individually, but here is an abridged version.

- 3,2,1 Breakin' Out was a great way to start the concert, but I wish they would let non-Musume members have the solos because we've heard Morning Musume sing it a bunch of time already

- the VTR was awesome. Manoclones!


- Manoeri's Seishun no Serenade outfit is so cool.



- Kiss me Aishiteru was incredibly hot live and full of fanservice. See for yourself:

- I almost forgot about Heroine, so it was a welcomed surprise to hear it live (though we already saw it on Berryz's Album DVD). This song is definitely in the running for best of the year for me.

- A bunch of songs were song that I hadn't heard of or didn't know too well which is awesome because it means they're digging up classics that haven't been sung in a while.

- Dekoboko Seventeen was the biggest surprise. Tanpopo# did a wonderful job covering one of W's best songs. It was hands down my favorite performance of the concert.

- Was sad to see the Shuffles devastated so much, and even sadder to remember that they are/will be changing even more (Saho and Aichan graduations). I really, really love the shuffles and wish they were used more.

- High-King is still the greatest shuffle group ever. Please take Gakisan out of ZYX and add her to High-King when Aichan graduates. A group full of Leaders/Captain is so much win

- I normally zone out during the end of concerts because they always sing the same couple of songs over and over again, but songs like Dance de Bakoon! and Tomo gave it new life

- How Do You Like This Japan has been sung countless times, but I think this particular performance is in the top 2. Gakisan was absolutely amazing. Girl is ready to become leader.

- Overall I had tons of fun watching and can't wait to watch all of the solos in the B-kkuri version.

  1. I'm so excited! It's going to take over 6 hours to download, but still excited!

  2. To everyone: I don't know if it helps, but I just turned hotlink on for that file.

    In theory it should let you download the file as if you are a paid premium member - in other words it should download faster. You'll have to restart the download if you already started though.

    However it will only be available for a limited time. I don't have unlimited hotlink traffic. So, after a day or so it will go back to being a normal download link.
