H!O: 'Battle Concert' DVD in July

Berryz Koubou & °C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Concert Tour 2008 Haru ~Berryz Kamen vs. Cutie Ranger~ (DVD)

Berryz Kobo was a big hit in its April 2007 concert at Saitama Super Arena, above. It is hoped that the combined Berryz and C-ute 'Battle Concert' on Sunday at Yokohama Arena yielded a like performance.

YO's rating: B | This is not unexpected, as DVDs normally trail the live shows by at least 60 days. But this one is somewhat strange in that the release month is July -- about a month longer than it took to release the January Wonderful Herts and Awards Show concerts (March). Plus, no firm date is offered ny Hello! Online's source. And, frankly, we've heard zero about just how this concert went, save for the setlist. Hmm. What's the big secret?
