The first "pay for" live for the Kira Kira Melody Gakuen second class
students took place on May 28 at the Piaza Hall in Matsudo. 24 out of
the 50 girls appeared in this event. There were supposed to 25, but
Akiba Rei wasn't there. The remaining 25 girls will appear in the
Second Class live in July.

I was number 47 for this event, so I wasn't that close. I used my
binoculars when someone I liked was on the stage. (^_^; There were
around 100 people total who came to watch.

The emcees were Yoshikawa Yuuya and Senoo Kumi, and the event flowed
as follows.

  * Kira Melo theme song (everyone)
  * Nante tatte Idol (everyone)
  * Eden no Machi (Inoue Eri, Akutsu Shiori, Ohhashi Risa)
  * Honki wo Dashite (Orito Mari, Ogata Satoko, Endou Satoko)
  * Toiki de Net (Nagai Kasumi, Itou Asuka)
  * Touch (Kimoto Sanana, Morita Chiaki, Takhashi Amika, Yamada
    Satoko) [Sawai Natsumi]
  * theme talk corner
  * Mugon Iroppoi (Hiron)
  * UFO (Hayashi Yumi, Yoshikawa Yuuya)
  * Nagisa no Kagikakko (Sukizawa Kanako, Yamada Kayoko, Kawasaki Rika)
  * Daisuki (Taga Yukiko, Shinohara Emiko, Ikee Tomoko)
  * C Girl (Senoo Kumi, Mizuta Yuka)
  * Jitensha (Washo Kozue)
  * present corner
  * Odoru Houkago (everyone)
    
The first song was the Kira Kira Melody Theme Song, by everybody. 24
people on the small stage is pretty crowded, but compared to last
time, when 48 girls sang, it was much better. The girls lined up in
three rows.

After the first song, all of the girls introduced themselves.

The second song was Nante tatte Idol by everyone. This is an old song
by Koizumi Kyoko. At the beginning of the song, Hinano Mayo came out
and posed in the middle of the stage. But she left right away, and
didn't sing.

The first group song was Eden no Machi by Inoue Eri, Akutsu Shiori,
and Ohhashi Risa.

The next song was Honki wo Dashite by Orito Mari, Ogata Satoko, and
Endou Satoko. This is an old song by Sakai Noriko.

The next song was Toiki de Net by Nagai Kasumi and Itou Asuka. This is
an old song by Minamino Yoko. Kasumi and Asuka wore white tank tops
and long frilly skirts. Kasumi had a blue skirt and Asuka had a red
one. Kasumi and Asuka forgot the lyrics a couple times. (^_^;)

The next song was Touch by Kimoto Sanana, Morita Chiaki, Yamada
Satoko, Takahashi Amika. They sang Sawai Natsumi's version. During the
middle of the song, Sawai Natsumi came onto the stage, and she sang
the second verse.

Then they had the theme talk corner where the girls had to choose a
topic out of a hat, and talk about it for 30 seconds. Natsumi was the
emcee of this corner, and she just picked the Second Class girls
(maybe at random). The girls chosen were: Nagai Kasumi, Itou Asuka,
Inoue Eri, Shinohara Emiko, Akutsu Shiori, Hayashi Yumi, and Tsuchiya
Mieko. Mieko came running from the back of the room.

The next song was Mugon Iroppoi by Hiron.

The next song was UFO by Hayashi Yumi and Yoshikawa Yuuya. This is an
old song by Pink Lady.

The next song was Nagisa no Kagikakko by Sukizawa Kanako, Yamada
Kayoko, and Kawasaki Rika.

The next song was Daisuki by Taga Yukiko, Shinohara Emiko, and Ikee
Tomoko. (This Daisuki isn't the same as the Kira Melo Daisuki.)

The next song C Girl by Senoo Kumi and Mizuta Yuka.

The last song was Jitensha by Washo Kozue.

Then there was a present corner. Five numbers (seat numbers) were
chosen, and the winners got a signature board which had a polaroid
picture of all of the Second Class students who appeared today (along
with the 24 signatures). One of the numbers was 47, so I won! Also
five of the girls handed out the presents, and we were able to go up
to which ever one we wanted (first come..), so I got my present from
Nagai Kasumi. Kasumi also shook hands with me. (^_^)

The last song of the event was Odoru Houkago by everyone.

Then after a few minutes of rest, there was a photo session. All the
girls came back onto the stage, and the fans were able to take
pictures of them for just 2 minutes (in groups of 20).
[I wish they allowed more time for the pictures..]

I was pretty surprised at how well most of these girls sang.
They divided up the Second Class into two groups of 25, with this
half doing the live in May and the other half doing the live in July.
There are many "non-amateurs" in the second half.  But this half did
very well.  They may not be that far behind the First Class students..
