At last! The elder club's final setlist is here!
Hi!
I know everyone on wotachat knows this was coming, but you didn't know what it was, so here we go!
Oh, and...
IIDA'S BACK!
Edit: We have audio of her and a certain Mari yaguchi singing Tanpopo!
1. I WISH / Nakazawa Yuko, Abe Natsumi, Iida Kaori, Yaguchi Mari, Ishikawa RIka, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Konno Asami, Ogawa Makoto, Fujimoto Miki- This will be really great: a great song to start a final concert off with! And it will be done with great singers too!
2. I Know / all- Where did this come from? I like it though. It's good to start off with an energetic song in any concert.
Opening Movie- Opening movie? This sounds interesting! I can't wait to see it. Maybe it's a history of H!P and the Elders Club members
MC
3. Juunen Ai / Nakazawa Yuko, Abe Natsumi, Iida Kaori, Yasuda Kei- The oldest, most well respected Momusu members minus Yaguchi singing one of the bad 10th anniversary b-sides? Why not Itoshiki Tomo e or Bokura ga Ikiru my Asia?
4. Screen / Abe Natsumi- I've heard that this was amazing, so I'll be looking forward to it.
5. Koi no Telephone GOAL / Abe Natsumi- It's great to hear that she'll be singing one of her older songs, so we can see how she's improved, how she's changed, and look back at when she first flew solo.
MC
6. Lalala•Sososo / Mano Erina- Why is she here? Does she transcend all concert unit boundaries?
7. Give Me Up / Melon Kinenbi- Give Me Up? I've never heard of this MKB song... maybe it will be a post-H!P single? Maybe it's just an album track...
8. Kenchana ~Daijoubu~ / Maeda Yuki- I don't really like enka thank you very much... (No matter how talented she is, I just don't like Enka.)
9. BABY! Koi ni KNOCK OUT! / Yasuda Kei, Yoshizawa Hitomi, Ogawa Makoto- 2 classic Pucchi Moni members, and a 3rd generation one! This will be really fun!
MC
10. 100kai no Kiss / Matsuura Aya- Ayaya doesn't get an old and a new, she gets an old and an old... for now.
11. Yeah! Meccha Holiday / Matsuura Aya- I want to see how this will go now that she's a lot older.
12. Tanpopo (Single version) / Iida Kaori, Yaguchi Mari, Ishikawa Rika, Shibata Ayumi, Konno Asami- Why couldn't they have just had Iida, Yaguchi, and Rika? The world may never know. (No matter how much I hate Rika's singing, I only like 1st and 2nd generation Tanpopo.)
13. Agekai ni Dakarete / Iida Kaori- KAORI~!!! I LOVE YOU!!! She actually gets a solo? I don't mind though, she's one of my favorite MM members, simple because of her hilarious personality. Also, it's great that she's able to perform! She'll always be one of the funniest Morning Musume members in my mind. (Along with W and Kei)
14. This is Unmei / Melon Kinenbi- I <3 this song! Thank god they're not singing Akai Freesia! "That's not Melon Kinenbi, that's a solo with back-up!" -Me listening to Akai Freesia for the first time
15. Ai ~Suite Room~ / Viyuden- Biyuuden temporarily reunites... for one song, anyways... and it's not exactly my favorite of their's either.
16. Boogie Train 03 / Fujimoto Miki- It's good to see that she's singing a fun song, not a ballad. The question is if the H!P kids back-up dancers will be there or not.
17. Kuyashi Namida Porori / Nakazawa Yuko- Yuko gets a solo too? This is turning out to be one awesome concert!
MC
18. Magic of Love / Inaba Atsuko, Maeda Yuki- Ooo! An old Taiyou to Ciscomoon song! I can't wait to hear it sung by these two! I'm really excited now...
19. Aoi Sports Car no Otoko / Iida Kaori, Yaguchi Mari, Inaba Atsuko, Melon Kinenbi, Miyoshi Erika, Okada Yui- Why are the 2 Biyuuden back-up girls in here? I want to see a 7-nin version of this again! Anyways, I hope that they do the original dance, 'cause it was funny to watch.
20. Thanks! / GAM (Chorus dancers: Inaba, Maeda, Melon, Miyoshi, Okada)- WOW! A GAM temporary-one-song-reunion too! COOL! I can't wait for this!
21. Kizuna / Matsuura Aya (Chorus: Fujimoto, Inaba, Melon, Miyoshi, Okada)- I'm a little excited for this. Otherwise, I don't really have any reaction to it.
MC
22. Come Together / Ongaku Gatas- NO. Just no. I don't really want them to sing this song. It seems like one of those songs that was meant to fail if preformed live.
23. Narihajimeta Koi no BELL / Ongaku Gatas- Now I'm liking it again.
24. Love Machine / all- I am so surprised. How did I know that this was going to be on the setlist?
Encore
25. MM OG Medley:
• Morning Coffee / Nakazawa, Abe, Iida, Yasuda, Yaguchi
• Manatsu no Kousen / Nakazawa, Abe, Iida, Yasuda, Yaguchi
• Ai Araba IT'S ALL RIGHT / MM OG
• The Peace! / MM OG
• LOVE Machine / MM OG
-First of all: I know LOVE Machine was a hit, and I know that Tsunku likes to make them sing it, but twice in one concert seems way too much. I'm not particularly fond of any of these songs, so I'm a little disappointed. I like the member line up for the first two songs though.
25. Koisuru Angel Heart / all, except Matsuura- That's right! She broke her toe... or maybe this was planned before that happened for no particular reason whatsoever. I don't know weather to be excited about this song or not.
MC
26. Never Forget / all- A perfect song to end a final concert tour. It's a great song, and it was written for Morning Musume's 1st graduate. It's rather fitting.

Overall, I'm much more excited for this than I am for the Wonderful Hearts concert.
The only thing I'm extremely pissed about is that Love Machine, the most over performed Momusu song in history, is perfromed, TWICE!

Comments
Love Machine is the biggest hit and the fans still love it. Whatcha gonna do? At least it's a little different; first everyone performs it and then just the ex-MoMusus. *shrug* I've lost the ability to be upset over it at this point, especially after 2007 when they performed it everywhere. Haha.
And of course people like Kaori and Yuko get solos; they were soloists and it's their last H!P concert. :D Though I wonder how Ayaya is gonna do songs like Yeah Meccha Holiday if her toe is busted.
