Everything about this has aged like fine wine.
Also, the song was ahead of its time? Like, yeah, the instrumental is obviously Asian, but the rhythm could just as easily be done as reggaeton or afroswing.

This is my version of "HEY! Mahiru no Shinkirou" by T&C Bomber.
T&Cボンバー『HEY!真昼の蜃気楼』

All of the performances are over!
Thank you for your support!
It was really fun!
This times Harocon,
for the opening day Oda Sakura-chan was absent,
so first off the 10 of us started,
After all the 11 of us together,
starting again with our feelings tightening,
the 15th generation also performing with us...
The moment we showed off the appearance of the 14 member lineup,
it felt like we were restarting,
There were a lot of starts huh
there was a lot to stack in 1 performance but, I realized in particular the power from the last Nakano Sun Plaza performance,
that is, since its the last...
it wasn't that I was just in a fighting spirit,
it was really purely fun,
the last performance too,
I'm glad it felt super good
46okunen LOVE was the last song,
maybe it felt like, they're ending it merrily~!
that songs last hook, the moment of "being pumped up on your own", when the standing position was announced, I did a high five
With Yamaki Risa-chan!
I was standing next to her! Wa-i! lol
Standing on the Harocon stage,
it seems like it was the first time being able to have an interaction like that
before we had done a shuffle together but,
(HEY! Mahiru no Shinkirou)
At that time we hadn't really talken togther at all yet←
With this times shuffle units,
the song I got to sing was
beautiful
"Yuujou ~Kokoro no Busu ni wa Naranee!~" /Otomegumi
when the current Morning Musume split into Otomegumi and Sakuragumi, I was unexpectedly in Sakuragumi, thats right, I thought being in Sakuragumi was unexpected for myself, since with Otomegumi has a forceful feeling..! But the Sakuragumi song I sang I really like..eeh, the story got turned upside down
This songs first part,
Its Michishige Sayumi-san's part but,
I got to sing it <3
The first day was Michishige Sayumi-san's birthday so,
with contacting her with a "congratulations",
"I'm singing this part, I'll do my best"
is what I sent to her
I received her power
Towards that part,
I really got the help from a lot of people,
I was also really thinking about it a lot,
but thinking about thinking about it is difficult,
at that time,
just before singing it,
I met eyes with Ozeki Mai-chan on standby
just that,
alright, lets do our best
thats what I thought in that moment,
lets sing it without thinking in circles!
my heart was floating
I was thinking this about myself,
on Mai-chan's blog yesterday,
what she wrote made me realyyyy really happy
my heartstrings were pulleedddd
I received various words from a lot of people, but this small incident with Mai-chan! It really have me a lot of power!
On stage,
the fans warmly called out <3
Really thank you very much <3
harmony
"SHINES/ C-ute"
For the harmony performance, we got to sing C-ute-san and Berryz Koubou-san songs for the shuffles but, it was my first time...
its that kind of story
sent out yesterday,
Please listen to "Yajiman Next Door Neighbor"
on Haromoba Radio
All of the fans were twirling their towels together, singing Woa~
It was a really fun feeling of becoming one!
it seems fun to spin around the towel,
I wont forget all of the fans faces!
it really seemed fun!! lol
by all means Harocon is,
where I can show off songs only there,
at that time I want to make it as exciting as possible!
thats what I thought as I stood on stage,
In particular with SHINES even for a limited time,
at once, I felt the heat go up
a sense of achievement!!!
Connected that sense to...a song,
we sang at the harmony performance
"Roman ~MY DEAR BOY~"
First of all! I really like this song!
all of the members too!
I was happy for the cheers at the intro~
With that momentum,
it was different from, in any case it'll be flashy...!
it has the feelings of strong girls,
it was difficult to make the cool expressions but,
it was fun to play the role
getting into it...I did it, maybe!?
Aah! Also the dance club too!
Thank you very much!
I danced in the harmony performances
we have become split into 2 teams, so I was able to see the other members dancing,
it became very cool motivation
when the opposing team was rehearsing,
the dance club took the initiative with a "Fuu~" (lol)
Aah-, with the dance club,
it was Rikako and, Maopin (lol)
With next Harocon,
I'm looking forward to what dance we'll touch next
Everyone is also looking forward to it
Also BEYOOOOONDS "Go Waist"
it was the best & most fun!!!!!!
For Angerme's Katsuta Rina-san,
it was her last HellO! Project concert
Thanks for your hard work <3
Getting Katsuta-san to come closer,
Lets go out soon--ok! fufufu
Again,
thank you very much for your support till the end!
Thank you as well towards your support for the fall tour!
(For potential link rot purposes, this is MKB covering T&C's Hey Mahiru no Shinkirou at their Rock On Live House 2007 tour)
If I'm not mistaken, this is the same concert that culminated in crowd-surfing happening in the audience.
Current ultra-femme-Kpop-obsessed H!P is categorically incapable of having this kind of physicality and energy outside of, like, Daishi and Rikako. That's about it.
Man, all those Taiyou to Ciscomoon perfs really were the best part of 20th anniversary. They were all at the top of their game. I really hope they inspired more of the girls to cover their stuff like HEY! Mahiru no Shinkirou. Also they really show that while adherence to choreography is good and well, but to really be in tune with the song means being able to embody the attitude of the song, move with the groove from head to toe in unified movement. That sheer joy at being able to execute.
Still really wish they had let them perform with Juice=Juice, though. (Once again a Ruru in T&C :P)
