ohmiya_sg uploaded the HD cuts of some of the JE performances and so I grabbed some. Along with the softsubs from newshfan. (Only problem is that the videos lag when played with the subs. >.<" If I don't use the subtitles it's fine. Anyone know how to overcome that issue?)
My favourite part is definitely V6's. :D I would've liked Eito's part more if Yoko hadn't turned up in that appalling perm. After seeing the recent Mezamashi, Zoom-in and other news clips of Ryo and Hina receiving the Oricon award on Eito's behalf for top-selling DVD of the year, I think I have to be resigned to the fact that Yoko's going to have horrible hair for the next month at the very least. *sad*
I'm getting sidetracked.
I screencapped the V6 clip in all it's HD glory and for once didn't resize the screencaps - because I think everyone should enjoy the delightful images at full size. XD Click ze thumbnails to go to the Scrapbook gallery ;)

I've no real complaints about the outfits, except that I'm not very fond of that dullish red plaid pattern on Go's scary and Okada's shirt. But I like the white coats! And the hats!

♥
They showed some photographs that Okada took backstage. Black-and-white photos too! Not the easiest type of photos, since you have to focus a lot on the light and the composition, being devoid of the colours.
Pic #1!

He said he normally doesn't take pictures of the other members because they give him weird poses. Like in the pic above. XD
Nagano's looking very coolly nonchalant there ♥, but I don't know what Inocchi and Go were thinking XD
Pic #2

XDD Inocchi being crazy. (Upon seeing this photo Inocchi said: I told him not to take [photos] without telling me!) And that looks like Ken in the back, busy on his phone. The depth of field isn't obvious in the thumbnail here, but in the full size pic it is. Not bad - I keep wondering what aperture or what lens he used. lol
Pic #3

My personal favourite. I think the composition is pretty good. Not great maybe, but there's something there in the contrast of colours and shapes and the composition that I like.
(Okada told them to act normally and apparently doing a handstand is normal for Inocchi. XD)
Pic #4

Ken and Inocchi with the security guard. Casual shot, not particularly artistic or anything but I'm just including it here for the heck of it. :P
Then there was the performance... Cho!
I like how the light happened to fall on Okada at this point and light up his figure nicely. XD

Nagano!~
Not a great screencap, but the camera was hardly on him so this was one of the better 'caps I managed to get of Nagano-mama
And this is my faaaaaavourite screencap of the performance.

♥__♥
Words fail me.

I still find this floor move of Kamisen's interesting to watch... But the editing team deciding to cut to a close-up of Sakamoto's face when Kamisen were doing the most interesting part of getting up off the floor in one smooth motion. (I can't describe it - you'd have to watch their previous Cho performances to know what I mean. 8D )
And to close this (rather Okada-centric) post, a couple of group shots! ♥

The backstage pics are lool. He's a good photographer :)

Haven't seen enough of his photos to decide on how good he is yet, but I can at least say that he's a decent photographer :Db
