Due to the ongoing situation with the COVID-19 virus, and the various restrictions in place to help prevent it's spread, if the Summer concerts go on this year they will be special. Taking the health of all involved (performers, staff, customers) into consideration, the performances will all be solos and the songs will be covers of non-Hello! Project J-Pop ballads.

• Why this project?
"After working alone for so long the members have been talking about wanting to hold concerts / stand on stage as soon as possible; UF took that into consideration for this project. With member ideas & to keep in line with the three things to be avoided because of the virus (small spaces, crowded spaces, close interaction), they decided to have a slow paced live instead." - Sohee

An H!P concert without H!P songs? That's, uh, interesting.

[mizukingdom1]

No H!P songs?!?!? Is up front okay?? lol

[Kumi-chan]

It's odd that the girls are singing H!P songs on Tv Asahi and they're singing non-H!P songs at a H!P concert.  

Anyway I'm excited for both events. 

I'm curious to see what songs the girls are going to choose

[patapataful]

Ok interesting and something different. Excited who they cover, if it hopefully happens.

[hpnewb]

Why are they ignoring all the H!P ballads and slower songs?

[rurupedia]

no h!p songs is certainly interesting, lmao. i mean i'll still watch it of course but can't they throw in a few h!p ballads??

[diamondfi]

I'm fine with this concept but... why not H!P ballads? pretty sure there are enough ballads for all members at least

[rurupedia]

on second thought it could be a marketing thing? like h!p fans know about h!p ballads, but maybe they're trying to get non fans to listen by having the members sing non-h!p ballads?? that's probably a reach but i'm just trying to figure out why they decided this lol

[Zoe]

It will be easier to ensure fans won't sing along or shout if the songs aren't typical H!P.

[Touki]

non-H!P songs but all ballad? That's sad, because I'd expect to see Ruru covering Ikenai Borderline, which is non-HP but not a ballad (my own taste, not request or anything). There are many non H!P songs which fit H!P members' voices, but ballad only is something else.

[tadase]

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME WITH THE SETLIST. Those are all-time great Jpop songs!!!! I'm happy that H!P has tried to diversify with so much from both past and not-so-present. Really looking forward to this concert!!!

[I♥Sayumi]

Most of my favorites are on B TEAM. I recognize a few songs but maybe if I hear them it will sound familiar. I can already tell that this will be epic.

[Nayok-Kihara]

@JPN_ENG_Kanda on twitter made a YT playlist of all the songs.

Would it be too much of an ask to expect piano playing during Planetarium....
