Nine Smile - Expectations and goods list

Tomorrow is the start of Morning Musume's fall tour. I have to say that a lot my interest for the group have been taken over by other H!P acts. But after finally getting to meet them in person in August and being rather pleased with the previous single they caught my interest again and are back on the top as my favourite idol act. So I'm really looking forward to this tour, especially since it looks so promising and all with the girls for once looking all cheery and cute again. My favourite MM years would be around -04 to -07 and I'd like things to go back to how it used to be. I got tired of the serious music already after Resonant Blue last year.

Anyway, the goods list just was uploaded on the official site. Browsing it through quick I'm glad to see how colorful and happy the girls are in all photos. I'm loving the official logo for the tour, but I probably won't be getting any of the solo shirts. I've also had to cut in on goods expenses in general to be able to afford going to all events. The solo muffler towels look cute but I can't imagine me wiping my face with it, as how you're supposed to use it. It's a bit too detailed for being a normal towel and I'd preferred if they had just used the design for normal microfibre towels. What's tempting me right now is the group T-shirt and the visual book. I'll also be looking forward to see the two DVD mags, even though I won't waste any money on them.

I'll be attending the four concerts they kick off the tour with tomorrow and on Sunday. For the first concert me and my Korean room mate got insanely lucky, receiving my first fanclub tickets ever that we were going to share and getting assigned FIRST ROW(!). It's even in the middle block! I've never had first row at a Musume concert or any H!P concert at all so it's gonna be above awesome. Now just hoping that the set list will satisfy me. I'll probably come with some report from the tour, posting it either here or at Idol-Chatter.
