Memory (1999)

This was filmed on the last day of their tour and includes the tribute to Asuka Fukuda who left the group after this show.

Track 1: very short talk with one of the Morning Musume members.

Track 2: One girl is leaving the group here. There's a lot of crying going on, on–stage and off-stage. The girl leaving is Fukada Asuka who left to continue her schooling. She was the first girl to leave Morning Musume.

Track 3: Getting ready for a concert. Morning Musume arrives at 11A.M. to start their day. They are interviewed briefly, sign posters, and around noon go up to the stage to check out the preparations.

Track 4: More getting ready for the concert.

Track 5: It's about time for the concert to start with the girls making last-minute preparations.

Track 6: Summer Night Town: One of my favorites.

Track 7: Koi no ABC It's fairly decent but not their best.

Track 8: More talking with the girls, plus more behind-the-scenes footage.

Track 9: Yuko Nakazawa doing Junjo Koushinkyoku.

Track 10 is Tanpopo doing Last Kiss, and it's good. Plus some more back-stage stuff going on during the song.

This seems to fade into a very short track 11 which is more backstage stuff.

Track 12 is the song Memory. It's a pretty good song, though not one of my favorites.

Track 13 is Happy Night, which is one of my favorite songs. It's also more high-energy and upbeat then most of the other songs on the dvd so far. There's also some interaction with the audience at the end of the song.

Track 14 is not one of my favorite songs (Mirai no Tobira).

Track 15. Daite. Hold on Me ("Hold Me, Hold on Me") : back to one of my favorite songs

Track 16, Morning Coffee, one of my absolute favorites.

Track 17, talking.

Track 18, Never Forget, showing some of the girls in tears, primarily sung by a girl who I assume leaves the group at the end of the concert. At the end of the song the girls line up and I believe they are each saying goodbye to the one leaving, with each one breaking down in tears.

Track 19, a very slow song with the girls still in tears and their individual singing off quit a bit. The end of the track shows what was going on in track 2, but from the front view.

Track 20, more back-stage, dressing-room things going on.

Track 21, interview with the girl who is leaving the group.
