I'm kinda surprised the last one is in September :0 !!
Isn't the last shows usually in August?

Thanks for the update

Usually, but Momusu's Autumn tour which is yet to be officially announced (it was announced through the fan club) isn't starting until 24th September, so the last date on this tour hopefully shouldn't clash with anything that they have planned for any of the groups in Hello!Project

Thanks for the update 

No problem Glad I could help

[banana]

I'm planning to go on the 6th or 7th August at Nakano Sun Plaza.

When will the general sales begin?

The ticket sale release dates for those tour dates have yet to be decided, but they'll hopefully be announced soon

[RenaiDestiny。]

I swear, they should end this tour with a Budokan. That alone gives them a lot to pull off a true Carnival theme, at least at the end of the concert.

[tsubakisaikou]

The titles sound so happy and colorful, it's making me excited, and yay for more shuffle units. My favorite time of the year

[Nakari]

H!P as a whole is big enough to fill Budokan and then some, not sure why they haven't yet.

[kittykoo5]

I wish they'd go for bigger and fewer venues for the H!P concerts. They could the extra time to promote summer single (at least some of them) plus with the extra space they could do an actual carnival theme.

[Juandalyn]

^A few people have said that a lot of fans care for mostly one group, or have one group with an oshi. Since the time is divided between all groups there are less chances to see your oshi.

For example, if you're a, let's say, Kamikokuryo Moe oshi, you will only see her during ANGERME and maybe one or two shuffle performances, but the time when all the other groups perform you won't see her.

 

In some years, fans even went out to take a break when a group they didn't care for performed. Or they were really unexcited and just sitting in their seats. Not sure how it is nowadays, said reports were from 2011 or 2012.

 

That being said, it's easier for groups on their own to fill concert halls than for H!P as a whole.

 

Personally, I can't completely agree. Zukki had a lot of memorable moments in H!P concerts that I missed in MM concerts.

[Fluffis]

^I can agree on that. Had OMW and Utakata not existed as songs there is no real telling that she was a member. But in H!P concerts with The Bigaku, Akai Freesia and 1-oku 3-senman it will feel truly empty. I started liking Wada Ayaka after the units she was placed in with Zukki and via many H!P stages I had an intrest sparked for a song/member/group. This concert will feel very strange for that reason, but I am excited for it. 

[Punkin]

H!P never really goes all-out with "themes", but I wish just once they would... A Carnival themed concert could be amazing if done right and really well.

I think I was being too vague when I said "bigger and fewer". I mentioned something like instead of doing 6 concerts in the same place do 3 in venues twice the size.

[Ohasumi]

^hmm not sure if that's technically better. Smaller venues means you're closer to the girls. Bigger ones means the opposite.

Oh and... What happened to the Buono/CG/Miya's group concert at Budoukan in August? I wish they'd release more info on that soon.

[miyooooons]

Thoughts...

-my guess is if they don't announce MM 13ki at Budokan, they'll probably announce them at the first Nakano Sun Plaza concert on 8/6.
-if Angerme doesn't perform Asaite Carnival in the Rainbow Carnival set list, the world does not make sense.
-I hope the group outfit for Rainbow Carnival has every member in outfits that are their member colors! That would be so pretty to see all at once.
-It's interesting that the last show ends in September
-I agree that I think they should eventually upgrade these concerts to Budokan. One Budokan show at the end would be so cool, H!P concerts used to be at such bigger venues, and I feel like they're gaining back a strong fan base in Japan again.

[spiro150]

Now I waiting the outfits similar to Itoshima distance costumes for the carnival concerts.

I hope a future single of kobushi
New medleys, new casual costume or idol costume

[Ribon]

We're long overdue for a new Kobushi single. 

I'm getting tired of hearing Sakura Night Fever and Ramen Daisuki over and over tbh 

 

I have a feeling 13th gen will show up at Kanon's graduation, (on average, H!P auditions take 2-4_^1/2 months from application deadline to members actually being introduced, by May 31 it would already be about 3_^1/2 months) so I wonder if they'll be able to perform in this concert tour?
