Man... they should have performed a better song for M-Net... Like Rock Erotic or Motto Zutto... I don't think Asian Celebration is a song that would go over well with a Korean audience...

I think Rock Erotic and Motto Zutto are not suitable for concerts this huge. Asian Celebration is a good choice. Its catchy and its a party song.

No they sang two songs, Asian Celebration and Otona na no yo (like korokorori said). M-net only broadcast 1 song (and they did the same thing with Korean groups, for example 2PM sang 3 songs and only 2 were broadcast).

Oh right, I just thought it was one as the KPOP groups all sang more than one song.

Even as a BK fan, I think Asian Celebration is bad... But even if fans of the group like the song, it really has no appeal to k-pop fans. And M-Net Countdown is broadcast in Korea. This could have been an opportunity for them to get some Korean fans, but I don't think they won many people over with that song. Asian Celebration has weird vocal parts that the girls struggle to sing live and it just doesn't have mainstream appeal.
And when they were in Korea, they performed Monkey Dance... which is also a song that doesn't have appeal to the K-pop fanbase... when you have a chance to showcase your stuff to a new audience, you want to bring your A-game, not show off stuff that only appeals to your very niche fanbase.

I get the "ASIAN" Celebration thing. It's a cute idea, but the song is just.......... not great, especially for a kpop crowd. I think WANT! would've been a better choice.

Can somebody explain to me why the M-Net was in Yokohama arena and the crowd look korean? i mean they have korean signs and with Let it Go it look like they knew the korean lyrics instead of the japanese one... and shouldn't the M-net be hold in Korea? i don't get it...

^One of the ideas behind k-pop is trying to spread it and make people aware of it, it's called the hallyu wave, you can look it up. A lot of the korean music shows often go to different asian countries to promote anniversary stages like the one mnet just did in japan.
As for the crowd looking Korean, I'm not sure about that. I mean many Koreans could have traveled over to see the performances, but I'm pretty sure that majority of the audience was Japanese.
In this aspect it's very different from J-Pop. You don't see many artists from Japan venture out to different countries because the music industry is already huge in Japan, 2nd I believe.

i would of definitely preferred rock erotic, heroine ni narou ka, otakebi boi, cha cha single, loving you too much, special generation, jiriri kiteru and plenty more but not asian celeberation lol. Asian celeberation isnt a in your face song, i actually hated that song at first and thought it was weak but it does grow on you the more times you listen to it.. but you only have 1 shot and Berryz blew it :(. On a good note though Risako's performance was amazing!!

Zeth is correct. Majority of the audience are Japanese, but this are k-pop fans not the usual wota crowd we are used to. I read that a big group of Berryz wota attended the event. K-pop fans were impressed by their light-sticks skills. K-pop fans don't know how to use light-sticks properly, they just wave it randomly. There is a regular K-pop dance cover event called Dream ON! I think it is held twice a year, I'm not sure exactly. Up Up Girls(仮)takes part in this event regularly. If you watch the event's videos there is always a huge crown of Japanese fans there. The next big international event Berryz will perform at is the MTV Japan Video Awards. It will be streamed world wide. Sayu will be one of the 3 main host of the show.
