Puri Puri Still Rockin' in 2012!

Just finished watching Princess Princess sweet but brief concert performance they did for the ALL THAT LOVE~ Give&Give Charity Event, and I have to say that while a bit rusty (and can you blame them, it's been 16 freakin' years), the power of those five girls is still there and watching them do the classics like "Diamonds", "Oh Yeah!". "M" and the almighty  "Seven Years After" was still as gripping as ever! Okui Kaori, Nakayama Kanako, Watanabe Atsuko, Konno Tomoko and Tomita Kyoko- THEY'RE BACK!
Was magic to see all five of them together going through the moves once again, and I have to say that there were quite a few times when it looked like I was watching an older video of them in their heyday, the poses and gestures were almost dead on same! That's what years and years of honing your act will burn into your subconscious and it's like they'd never forgotten it!
Even better than the performance though was the sweet lil documentary they shot covering the five memebrs lives as they worked out their schedules to begin performing again, and it was like seeing old friends (and could conceivably be called "Platinum Days Make III)- the clips of them interacting with each other and rehearsing in the studio are the best! And LOL, watching Kyoko as amother of a couple of rambunctious kids had me cracking up!
I'm sure they'll be fireing on all cylinders come November, so Japan better look out!
