Tonight I went the the Shimizu Saki Solo event at Pacific Heaven. Unlike NKSK's event, I had number 47, so I couldn't grab a front row seat. Instead, I got a seat four rows from the stage and at the far right. Although I'm more of a Berryz fan than a ℃-ute fan, I though Nakki's singing was more interesting and exciting. During song performances, Shimizu seemed to focus on the cieling rather than playing the crowd. Also, the fans more mostly content to clap along. Still Saki-chan did a respectable job. Also, unlike the solo events earlier this year, there was no Makoto as emcee.
Dressed in jean shorts, wool boots, and her purple t-shirt from the current Berryz concert tour, Captain Berryz did three songs, two talk segments, and the hand-shaking event. The first song performed was 会いたいけど. Then she had a "CM Talk" where she explained her reasoning for consceptualizing the CMs for the HP-Summer DVD Magazine. Her next song was いいことある記念の瞬間, which proceeded a rapid fire Q&A session. She was asked what here favorite country was ("Japan"), what kind of candy the members of Berryz Kobo would be, and some other questions I can't remember. To finish, she sang 夏 Remember You.
After that there was the Hand-shaking. I said something to her in English and she responded "Nice to meet you, thank you" in a very cute English voice.
