I am translating an extract from 将太寿司 (doggie) @ JS66 about Hiro's Xmas live. So 1stly I would like to thank Doggie :lol:

Hiro today appeared with a suit and had a pink shirt inside. At the start she sang a jazz song and then followed by 愛が泣いてるand continued for 4 more songs. But after the songs she admitted there was an error in the rundown as she was suppose to greet after the 1st song :P

After the song Hiro took off her hat as she said it was a bit hot. A fan asked than asked why not jacket, hiro said "not now". This was followed by a few ballads with Treasure (retrack). After the ballads she sang the more upbeat songs with 見つめていたい and AS time goes by.

Then she said the Fly to the moon would be the last song but obviously the best is yet to come.

Not long after she came back to stage to thank the fans. After couple of songs Hiro thanked all the fans support for SPEED reunion then she started singing おやすみ～ Oyasumi. Then the climax came with Eriko coming out to sing with Hiro then Taka and HItoe. Then they all sang Baby Don't Cry and after that they all went off stage. Eriko also mentioned about the Speed concert and all fans said support.

The last song Hiro sang was a new song named Arigatou!!!

Thank you Doggie for writing about the live

「おやすみ…」+ elly　　　　　ー＞記憶によると、確か一段目までは寛ちゃんのソロバージョン
二段目に入って、突然絵理ちゃんの声乱入し、会場一気にもりあがってて、全員興奮状態に～～　もちろん私も（笑）。そのままお二人が最高のハーモニーでこの曲を歌いきった、そして、お二人が抱き合い、かたい友情を見せてくれた！！
その時点で、もう今夜はなにもこれ以上欲望のないはずだが、
やっぱりこころの奥にはこう思ったバッド（下向き矢印）　
絵理ちゃんまで来て下さったのなら、もしかして多香ちゃんもひとえちゃんも来るかもしれないじゃない？とおもいきや、次の曲のメロディーが流れはじめ、

Baby, Don't Cry　with 乙女心

絵理ちゃんもステージから去る様子ではなく、寛ちゃんと一緒に歌う様子で、その直後、寛ちゃんはバックステージのほうに向かって誰かに「ＣＯＭＥ　ＯＮ」って言って、登場した方はヒトエちゃんでーす。

あれ、、、、、多香ちゃんは？？？

まさか、お仕事あるわけないよね。。。。。

とおもったら、いつの間に多香ちゃんもステージの右側から出てきた
ヒトエちゃんとおそろい、乙女心スタイルで

ダンスはさすがに　　変　　だった！！

でも、こんな変なダンスでも盛り上がれるのは初めてかも
寛ちゃんも歌いながら笑っちゃった！～～
　　　　
歌が終わって、皆の大歓声の中、寛ちゃんのメンバー紹介へ

あ、スピードじゃないんだって、この二人は　　　って寛
じゃ、紹介しますか　　って絵理

ええ、あの、乙女心のリンダーです
乙女心のマリーンです。
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　－＞だれが先なのはもうおぼえてなかった。

そして、寛ちゃんはこのサプライズが昨日急遽決定だと言って、
　　　　　　　　　　　・・・・・・いいですね、急遽こういう決定したのはありがたいですよ。
そして、皆と写真撮って、メンバー退場へ　

寛ちゃんのＭＣが続き、
もしこのまま続いたら、みんな帰ったら多分記憶にスピードのライブに行ったってことになっちゃうから、それなら困る、だって、ここまでがんばったもん！！と寛ちゃんがいった（笑）
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　・・・・・ううん、確かに、そうかもね・・・・・　　
　　　　　　だって、私もスピードが出るまで一生懸命覚えた曲順が一瞬で飛んちゃったもん
　　　　　　　　　
そして、最後の曲へ

ありがとう　

とってもいい曲だった
今回のライブは本当によかった！！

Thanks a lot coco, I hope that someone could translate your report too ^^

so cool that you go to her live :bounce:

thanks a lot, i also hope somebody can translate the rept

OMG!!

hiro's new song, and SPEED singin' a hiro's song!! OMG!OMG!!
It's just like a dream!! I wish i could be there!

thanks for the info!!

gah! i'm so excited! but at the same time i'm very upset that i wasn't there! SPEED singing a hiro song and then she sings a new song?!? whenever that single comes out i'm so there

OMG thank u very much finally i can see speed again after more than 3 years?!! hahahah i love em especially hirochan.....i really love this forum.....thank you for made it....

Here is a translation of coco's account of her experience - only the parts where the other 3 members appeared. Please correct me if there are any mistakes! I'm sorry I don't have time (and adequate language ability haha) to translate the whole thing. Thanks coco for sharing your experience with us! Here goes:

Oyasumi + elly
From what I recall, the first verse was sung by hiro-chan.
When the second verse started, suddenly Eri-chan’s voice was heard and the audience went crazy! Including me (lol) At the climax when both of them were singing together, they hugged each other – their strong friendship was evident!
Up to that point on that night, even though I never imagined that the above scenario would happen, I couldn’t help thinking: If Eri-chan is here, shouldn’t Taka-chan and Hitoe-chan be here too? As my thoughts wandered, the melody for the next song started.

Baby, Don’t cry with Otome Gokoro
Eri-chan continued to stay on stage – it appeared like she was going to continue singing with hiro-chan. Then, hiro-chan shouted ‘Come on!’ to someone who was backstage and Hitoe-chan appeared!

Hmm… where is Taka-chan?

Maybe she has other work commitments…

Just as I was wondering, Taka-chan appeared from the right side of the stage suddenly. Both Taka-chan and Hitoe-chan were dressed in the style of Otome Gokoro.

As expected, the dance was very funny!

I guess since this was the first time such a funny dance was presented, even hiro-chan couldn’t help laughing halfway through singing!

When the song ended, amidst cheers from the audience, hiro-chan introduced the other members of SPEED ‘This is SPEED.’

‘Oh, those two over there, they’re not from SPEED’ said hiro-chan. (jokingly referring to Taka-chan and Hitoe-chan)
‘Then, why don’t you introduce yourselves?’ said Eri-chan.

‘Well… I’m Linda from Otome Gokoro.’
‘I’m Malin from Otome Gokoro.’
I can’t remember who said which line first…

Hiro-chan then revealed that this surprise appearance was a last minute arrangement yesterday. I’m really grateful for this last minute decision. Then, everyone took a photo together and the other 3 members left the stage.

woooow thanks a lot flyingmudpie for translate coco experiencie

I'm glad that they have a strong friendship, coco thoughts so cool!!!

Please keep sharing your experiencies with us and flyingmudpie translate more for us, please!!

arigato guys ^^ I really appreciate your effort

Thanks Coco for sharing your experience and flyingmudpie for the translation. Really appreciated

You're welcome!

I tried to translate the front part before the rest of SPEED appeared but had quite a bit of difficulty. The parts I wasn't very sure of, I left it in Japanese. Maybe someone who has better proficiency in Japanese can try to tranlate those parts? Feel free to correct me if any parts are wrong.

Once again, thanks to coco for sharing her experience. There is one last small part left to translate. Will find some time to do it soon. Here goes:

I went to Hiroko’s Happy Christmas 2008 concert.

Thanks to SPEED, I had the most wonderful Christmas!

Shibuya O-East.
Opening 18.15, concert 19.00.

I reached at around 4pm, but too late, there was already a queue.

Historically, the most expensive ticket was 27000.

Music box at 10000yen, Christmas seats at 17000yen.

クリスマスセットを買い上げた方にいくつかサイン付きというらしい

早速チェックしてみたら、チョコにサインが入った！！！

I went in at around 6.30 since the concert only starts at 7pm.
Hiro was wearing a whole suit of pink with a pink scarf, black boots and a black hat.
It was really nice and cute.

Let me try to recall the order of the songs that were performed.

Sunlight
Ai ga naiteiru
Itsuka futari de
Mitsumeteitai

At the end of the four songs, at last hiro started talking.
There was a glitch, there was supposed to be a pause after the first song for introduction but it only happened after four songs.

A simple greeting and the next few songs were introduced.

hiro-chan seems to be full of energy today
テンションかなりあがりっぱなしでなりより
Her voice projected out well and her pitch was great.
Hiro-chan’s voice was really mesmerizing.

12 gatsu (yet to be released)
Naimononedari (yet to be released)
Treasure

Hiro talked about the Christmas party she had with her younger brother and her mother yesterday and the fun they had having steamboat together.

Her interaction was more interesting than before. She also said that even though she decided that she would be more talkative during the live, it is hard to be like her long-winded self in the past. (lol)
