But the highest PV quality is 360p. UM. Well it would be good for preventing downloads though. But guys I can make a list of reason why it's fake. If they did something like that, obviously the main point would be to promote, right? Okay missing a bunch of things: links to J-net, Jstorm's official site, and on every video a description of the single and its release date and price. There's also the problem of the SUPER LOW QUALITY, and the fact that they released Zekkouchou Chou!!!!
ALSO HAHA PWNT THE BIRTH PV HAS A FAN LOGO ON THE CORNER. Oh I love uploaders and their watermarks. I mean no I hate them but SOMEONE'S GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY BEING PISSED.
The uploads are also not in any particular order. Latest PV from every Jstorm artist? Makes sense, almost, but not at all because why would you do that when Miageta Ryuusei is so old. And WHY WOULD YOU UPLOAD ZEKKOUCHOU CHOU!!!!? ALSO HAHA THEY'RE MISSING HSJ WELL.
Anyway this is still hilarious. I love their dedication to making this as real as possible lol. Waiting for JStorm to come down on this. (Also tiny fact: Why Jstorm That is a fucking weird place to start, as popular as Arashi is. If I were J&A, I'd either go straight to J&A, or have it individually for every group [especially due to the longevity of the groups, it'd save on organisation]. Obviously that's how Sony does too, but we must realise any of Sony's labels has more artists than the whole J&A.)
ANYWAY I sincerely hope J&A realises that IT'S TIME TO ACCEPT GLOBALISATION. Um seriously look at fucking PON PON PON. Arashi could totally do that with Kitto Daijoubu lol. And honestly! Even if they don't go viral it would help people stumble upon them and they could seriously extend their reach! Why go for an e-mail system (which most new fans don't know how to access anyway) when you can use Youtube! And Tackey Channel for the whole Johnnys just wouldn't garner fans the way something as public and available like Youtube would. Plus if fans would flood it enough to bring them to the front page of Youtube (AKB fans have achieved that) it would just get attention.
JAPAN Y U NO GLOBALISE??? I get that they get enough cash from the domestic market BUT HEY J&A THAT IS NOT HOW YOU THINK. You don't want some cash. YOU WANT ALL THE CASH. AMIRITE. HAHA now I'm going crazy but ughhh I get so emotional about Johnny and the way they manage idols by saying "WELL LET'S ONLY PROMOTE LOCALLY" okay guys I'm gonna stop now.
Just saying my brother got a survey on Chinese and one of the questions was, "when you need help in Chinese, who is the first person you go to for help?" [translated] And the first option is NOT your parents and NOT your siblings, it's YOUR GRANDPARENTS. HAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T. Is our standard of Chinese this sad.
Also my mother and my brother are FUCKING NOISY ugh I can never relax when I'm in the same room and my brother's (pretending to be) doing homework I just rage and get angry and become unable to focus ugh. I'm blasting music as loud as possible rn to drown them out. I'm going to die in JC this is why I only do work after midnight guys because FINALLY THERE IS FUCKING SILENCE.
I am losing my Solitaire skillz ;_;
Anyway today went for CCAO! UM JS GUYS I tied my hair in French braids for FIFTEEN HOURS and I took them off and my curls were fucking glorious and they lasted... FOR 2 HOURS. I can't D: Also I have apparently lost ALL MY BOBBY PINS??? This is incredibly sad.
So yes met Cheese and hoboed around! Met Yunzhen there hehe and just sat around and wanted to play sim but couldn't because 1) no one knew Jallene's password and 2) IT DECIDED TO FLAT JUST AS JALLENE ARRIVED LOL. But anyway well. It was. Rather boring. But yea hehe at least we went back!
GOT TO TALK TO CHEESE ABOUT ~things~ HOHO ;D
Also omg first training is fucking soon dudes I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE MY HOUSE THIS WEEK SIGH. But okay ):
Um omg seriously brother and mother are FUCKING NOISYYYY omg I seriously cannot calm down. Ugh BREATHE FISH. Like ya la I love my family but omg. So. much. fucking. noise. Ugh this is why I hate it when school starts I'm going to banish my brother from my room or move my laptop elsewhere or demand he gets a new room by the end of this year I swear. Perhaps after I file away my stuff I'll move my laptop to my study and reclaim my fan (WHICH IS MINE) from my parents' room (which has an aircon anyway UM) so yea. They were just writing a JOURNAL ENTRY and filling in a fucking PERSONAL PARTICULARS FORM and were making more noise than my music player on the loudest volume below my pain threshold wtf.
Okay yes I generally don't blog about this (obvsly not because I am TRYING NOT TO TEAR MY HAIR OUT AND DO WORK WHEN THEY'RE THIS NOISY) but yea. Ughhh. I mean like ikr I'm fucking noisy too but at least not when people are trying to get stuff done tyvm sigh.
OKAY OKAY GONNA STOP BEING MAD.
Okay anyway yesterday I found this FANTASTIC GIF (idk where it is now lol) of Arashi with their hands as 'V's and bowing after a concert and ALL THE EXPLOSIONS FROM MY HEART. Is there a photoset of that on tumblr I DEMAND ONE. Lolol I will watch all the concerts and make it myself one day.
UM also omg this post is the most disjointed ever perhaps because I AM RAGEY but anyway I just want to say that um guys. Well. Sexual assualt is not funny, okay? And neither is any kind of assault. And neither (well shouldn't be using 'neither' anymore) is abuse. And abuse comes in all forms, and beyond verbal and physical abuse there is psychological abuse. All these things are not funny and please don't be shamey and bitchy because that will make me really, really dislike you.
Um okay this is just a coagulation of things I've wanted to say for a while now but please don't like, idk. Fuck around with me. Because of certain things I've been like, exposed to and stuff, and also because I am me, I've gotten ridiculously triggery in the past year (I mean 2011) and well. Yes. And also I get easily angry because CAN YOU JUST SHAME do you even understand what you're saying??
And internalised misogyny does NOT make you a better more able person who is considerate of yourself and others there is a line between self-respect and BEING A BITCH and well. Okay.
Okay guys my rage is over.
Also I love this nail polish.
MOOD SWINGS WHOOO.
GUDBAI.
WELL guess who's perfect.
(Hint: if you guessed a scrawny, pale, Japanese idol whose name starts with 'N' and ends with 'inomiya' WELL YOU MAY JUST BE RIGHT.)
Also tumblr is laggy today.
SO I ONCE SAID I DIDN'T LIKE TOOKU MADE THAT MUCH but omg I am singing along anyway. HEY! HEY! TOOKU MADE~
Also AIBA ♥
Um I'm just. Blogging a lot LOL.
OKAY SO IN ROCK THIS THEY SAY "BELIEVER" BUT THEY'RE JAPANESE AND THUS SAY "BELIEBER" LOLOL.
OMG NOT NEWS SO NOT GONNA POST WITH THE NEWS BUT BEST FUCKING POST EVER OMG DYING I saw it and in spite of myself LAUGHED OUT LOUD. HOLY SHIT.
FUCK I SERIOUSLY CAN'T. ALL THE COMMENTS. Also Nino oh gosh I LOVE YOU. Also the fact that Changmin is so far behind. Omg I want them next to each other now. Also omg crying. I am going to read this whole post everytime I'm upset. Seriously guys, Arashi is short, grass is green, water is wet, etc.
ALSO GUYS THIS GIF I CANNOT. FROM WATANABE TO NINO IT JUST SINKS LIKE. UM HAHAHA FUCK.
Okay shouldn't be laughing so hard the whole of Arashi is taller than me (LOL FUCK OUCH THEY'RE REALLY SHORT) but OH MY GOD.
Haha some people there seriously butthurt though but LOL I CAN'T. Oh my god.
Haha fuck oh gosh. Okay calming down now BUT SERIOUSLY WHEN I SAW THE POST I WAS LIKE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
Also js! Um yes it's true that the emphasis on height (and. well. aesthetic quality?) seems to be greater in S. Korea? Also people calling Jjong short when he is A FUCKING GIANT okay well 173cm but that's like Jessie's height? Idk lol in Japan no1curr about how tall idols are, but Japanese are also one of the shortest people worldwide LOL.
OKAY I WILL STOP BLOGGING ABOUT HEIGHT. Anyway I need to seriously think about how I am shorter than all of Arashi again LOL okay only by like, 3cm! But still. NOT SOMETHING I REALISED.
HEY GUYS. I just found out something important about group dynamics that has been governing the way I think about them for a while!
Genius :D♥
When translations are weird and you have to wonder if it's the translator or the original D8
Um guys Nino is fucking calculative and I absolutely love that about him. Also he has had zero solo activities this year (well except his endorsement of Nintendo which was apparently HIS WHOLE YEAR but that wasn't solo either) but he basically goes all out to promote um say EVERYONE. His mental list of their activities for the previous year (and this) is impressive.
Um also speaking of no solo activities I STILL WANT A SOLO CONCERT FROM HIM.
MAY I FEEL LIED TO the animation dance was from Kouhaku! Um Kouhaku DOWNLOAD PLEASE nowonder it felt Disneyish!
WELL I AM SUDDENLY MADE AWARE THAT THERE IS A KISS SCENE IN FREETER.
Okay I'm too overexcited today HAHA I LOVE THE WORLD.
(HAHA IT IS A FUCKING AWKWARD KISS THOUGH he kinda grabs Karina who doesn't move and then HE TURNS HIS HEAD BUT SHE'S NOT MOVING SO HE MOVES BACK LOLOLOL.)
Tumblr: the land of spoilers and of making me want to watch EVERYTHING.
So in Kiroii Namida Nino adjusts Sho's tie. Lolol was it Sho's graduation when he ran all the way to Nino's to get his tie tied? ♥ PEOPLE I LOVE.
(LONGEST POST EVER)
Just watched Arashi's New Year Message, UM GUYS they are adorable also lol the message thing is always just a thing for them to say hi to their fans and then PROMOTE and last year for Christmas they all had a bunch of stuff and this year it was one each and most things I was unaware of! OOPS. Um bad fan ttm HAHA. But yea :D
Also Nino has nothing lined up for next year yet too! Um guys. MOVIE. I don't really want a drama it's too much for me to watch LOL but yes hopefully with a flawless actress! Eeeeee.
Um just read the last part. I just. Had this. Very. Like. Difficult realisation that I was the ~Makino~ to someone's ~Domyouji~ and I'm just using tildes to like lighten the situation and also to emphasise that it is not the same kind of relationship, tbh far from it, but the feeling of needing to be there for someone because you're the only one that person has left, in spite of being... hmm. Abused may not be the right word here, but I'll stick with it for now. In spite of being abused. And ending up being the one hurt.
Hmmm. Okay there is this sudden understanding of what people are saying. I feel enlightened.
WELL turns out Japan's okay! Like it was 7.0 offshore, but highest 4.0 inland and they all just. Watched TV LOL. That's good :D But still earthquake on New Year's = D:
RED TEAM WON! INOUE MAO IS FLAWLESS! WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED! AHHH I'm really really super proud of Akagumi but they so deserved it! With AKB's and Ashida's popularity and AYAKA'S COMEBACK ♥♥♥ and SO MANY FLAWLESS QUEENS I AM HONESTLY NOT SURPRISED AHHH. SO. PROUD :D :D I LOVE AKAGUMI AND I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THIS.
Also ratings! Well, not as good as I wanted but AT LEAST IT WAS >40%! THAT IS SOMETHING TO SAY. And gosh I love how Fukushima's ratings were super high because it was for them after all ;_; The first half ratings tho! ALSO OMG THE OLD RATINGS. 80%! THAT IS MAD. But ahhh I CONTINUE TO LOVE KOUHAKU FOREVER ♥
CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT. I heard Ayaka's performance was superb although Arashi's was... well. Not very amazing! But guys the picture on my blog is from Kouhaku and the moment I see it I will tear. And I haven't even seen spoilers for Furusato yet ;_;
GUYS GUYS. CLASSIER LIKE NONE OF THEM HOES HAHAHAHAHA OH MY GODDD. Everything's so typical though (although sincerely bad choices! But I looked at some and realised the reason they were so bad was because EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORSE except in some cases oh stans.) BUT I LOVE THE ARAMA AWARDS HAHA DYING. I was laughing and clapping and saying YES YES YES!! at the screen the whole time LOL.
APOPA AWARDS, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS? But well I agree with most of the poll (GTFO MY TV!! HAHAHAH) BUT GUYS, ARAMA WON DOUCHEBAG OF THE YEAR. I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW PROUD I AM HAHAHAHA ALSO TWITTER WHORE OF THE YEAR LOOOL. THIS IS THE BEST.
GUYS.
ARASHI IS DOING 24H TV
I CANNOT
I NEVER WATCHED THIS BUT OMG I SERIOUSLY CANNOT I LOVE THIS I WANT THEM TO DO IT OH GOSH OH GOSH AHHH. OH GOSH. I just, I really can't 24h tv basically embodies EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THEM because they're just truly truly amazing individuals. There was this confession about how they saved lives, and just. They help us achieve dreams and let us believe in something and sometimes I really think people don't really know how much I love, love, love Arashi because I don't lie when I say they're something I truly believe in and something that's made parts of my life, and my life not just my fandom life, and even when I don't blog about them I actively think about them and they keep me going on sometimes and I need to stop this terrible sentence full of run-ons. But oh gosh. Oh gosh. I am going to watch this and WEEP. ;_;
ALSO LOL THAT FIRST COMMENT I CANNOT.
UM AYAKA'S COMEBACK! OMG OMG SHOULD I WATCH IT NOW WELL THE ANSWER IS YES.
Omg so excited. Piano! also greenery. (When did they film this lol isn't it winter?) Oh gosh I had to flail for a moment HER VOICE. It's exactly like I remember it. Also it's a very pretty song oh gosh her vooooice. Omg everytime she hits a fuller or higher note goosebumps suddenly explode all up my arms and I have to shudder for a moment. And the PV's pretty too! OH AYAKA. HOW DID I LIVE WITHOUT YOU. Omg omg she's so pretty and her VOICE it's amazing. She's so... emotionally strong and expressive in her music. Omg I love the PV it's pretty but it's just. Amazing somewhere. AHH the way she sings, I can't. The 2nd pre-chorus, where they just show Ayaka in all her fabulousness and the way she explodes I just. Omg how does she change pitch so effortlessly oh gosh. The PV's actually sort of meaningful! Oh gosh she's amazing. AYAKA. I love this song omg it's really mad and dramatic, but I think it's amazing and suits her voice, and she just does it with so much control and emotion. Also yea it's dramatic but I think it just lets her showcase her emotional side which she is BEST at so yea (:
LOLOL ninki last week was pathetic but then again it's the last to first week of the new year! Also HSJ is going to own.
LOLOL I LOVE THIS. Um whoever those people were, BAD DECISIONS THOUGH. Talking loudly drunk in a public area? Tsk. Also LOLOL I LOVE KITAGAWA KEIKO. Get it gurlll. She has so many haters for being obviously classy though HAHA
Also omg this rumour which got dispelled like the day after. WELL. Anyway I hope they're happy! Whatever they're doing :D
HEY GUYS Yamada Takayuki's getting married! Oh I like how it's a quiet affair :D Congratulations to him! Oh wow he has a kid? Didn't know that.
UM so I don't know S/mileage much but I know Maeda Yuuka somehow and she's GRADUATING D: Oh gosh where is she going? There be no news ): Hope she does great or happy-making things in the future!
I NEVER FIGURED OUT WHY JOHNNIES DON'T GO ON CDTV UNTIL THIS. Ofc, JOHNNY'S COUNTDOWN. But seriously ahhhh. I kinda wanna see Jin and Yamapi? I don't. Really watch CDTV countdown lol. ):
HSJ ASIA TOUR ;sklafj;daslkjf;sljd THAILAND. Okay js for the past few years Johnnys have cancelled their Thailand leg, and understandably so but. Seriously? It's also the closest performance to Singapore ): Sigh.
ALSO YABU KOTA GETS INTO WASEDA WOOTS HAHA SERIOUSLY I AM HAPPY. Waseda's like, one of the top too so! Since when was Tegoshi on leave from Waseda though o.o Although I can understand. OH apparently he's doing the same thing Tego is!
Also Japan's love of HanaDan will NEVER END. GOKUSEN IS THE BEST THOUGH. I absolutely fell in love with Sawada Shin. IT IS THE BEST. LOL WHY IS V NO ARASHI EVEN THERE> I hope he blows me away with Lucky 7 oh gosh ♥
I just want to say Meisa's covers for UNLOCKED are gorgeous. Even if the font is questionable. That's how all Meisa covers work though == I wish Meisa could get people who work her aesthetic better seriously! As in, she's so pretty and she's a model so that is ARGUABLY her main draw, so ): (ALSO she is amazingly nice and super sweet and THE FIERCEST EVER.)
ALSO WHY WAS I NOT AWARE THAT SHOW LUO IS RELEASING IN JAPAN.
Um js the Ace Attorney live action LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE HILARIOUS, Nariyama's hair! Also Takumi Saito's LOLOL. I just. I'm not going to watch but HAHAHAHA LOOK AT IT.
Japan's highest grossing films! SURPRISE, GANTZ IS 2ND HIGHEST GROSSING DOMESTIC. GANTZ 2 didn't do as well though. Nothing in this really interests me :/ I can't rememeber what movies were released this year! OH YES SP. Haha. Yeaaa. May watch some?
GUYS IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT BARBIES. And Licca, which is ADORABLE. Oh gosh. I love crazy concepts which no one accepts that become reality and FUCKING FLAWLESS :D
PVs♥
NYC's Wonderful Cupid
OH HEY NAKAYAMA PUSH YUMA HAS A SOLO. Sigh. Oh well but Chinen can't sing and Yamada is the face of HSJ so I'll let this sliiiide. Oh gosh so cute. If I didn't know better I'd think this were a girl group PV LOL. OMG IS IT STOP MOTION. Okay no it isn't. Omg I can recognise the NYC voices. Chinen's voice o.o Oh Yuma has quite a smooth voice. Not bad. I dislike his makeup here. (LOL I want to say his face but he's been looking rather good lately.) THIS IS. SUCH A NURSERY RHYME. The PV is cute though! Green screen done right. Are Yamada's eyes blue!? Also omg Chinen. I just. I love him he's adorable (personality-wise) but HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SING ): This song is boring I'm bored. Nursery rhymes shouldn't last 3min. Also lol the live had better have lulzy dancing or I'm gonna be REALLY bored. Y'know what I shall listen to Yuma's solo. Will NYC ever break their image! Yamada doesn't even suit the image anymore. Like I said he fulfills the idol formula amazingly. Also the way he looks at the camera lol doesn't suit this at all. WHA FUCK THE B-SIDE QUALITY SUCKS omg okay not listening I have a headache now ouch.
OKAY ALL OF SDN'S PVs.
Kudoki Nagara Azabu Juban 'duet' with Mino Monta
Omg everything eludes me. The title LOL. I love the colouring of the video! AKB's videos always have really nice colouring. Also omg the PV looks quite epic. OMG THE SONG HAHAHAHA. THE STYLE. It's like, Taiwan Chacha? Omg I love it already this is a style I pretty much grew up with. Omg it's like a show choir HAHA but their voices! So much better here. I think I've mentioned my ~problem~ with their vocals before. Also the guy's voice suits this. OH I definitely prefer their vocals here. LOLOL this is super show choir though. Omg I want one of their skirts but idk who. Eeek AKB PVs rarely disappoint. OMG LOL DID I JUST HEAR THE LYRICS RIGHT? OH LOL THE GUY'S FACE. Their voices are rather deep here! I like. HAHAHA okay some parts of this are very... yes. I think the chemistry between the girls and Mino Monta is a bit lacking though. LOLOL THE END.
UNDERGIRLS B: CACHACA DE JIHAKU SURU
... What? I can't pronounce that LOL. Omg the intro of the PB is cool. OMG THEY'RE IN PANTS HAHA I'M SHOCKED. Eeek I love the spotlight thing. Oh gosh I love the makeup in this. Although the dance is. Questionable. Hey this isn't as in-your-face-ly sexy as most SDN PVs. Okay are the solo shots filmed with fisheye!? Omg there's. words. Okay it says SDN48 == But it's a cool set! OH CLASSY. HAHA. Oh the cane dance was quite cool, but would've been better with more practise. Is there a fight? Haha the names again I feel sad or undergirls sometimes. OH THE PISTOLS. I like their voices SO MUCH MORE in this PV. I only their first 3 singles were like this I would'be paif more attention. OMG THE ENDING. How ballerina of them. Oh I LIKE THIS THOUGH. SDN can totally do more than just sexy. This is plain cool okay. I really wish Akimoto didn't decide to mass graduate them ): Oh gosh the thing with the hands.
UNDERGIRLS A: Gamjatan Bojou
They like filming snow - OH THIS IS IN A SNOWY PLACE. In Korea? LOL OKAY. Oh I like the sound of this too. Like the music. Their voices too! UGH this range is perfect for them why did Akimoto force them up for GAGAGA and all that. But their dresses are hdeous I'm sorry. Oh gosh they're so classy. I actually really like this! LOLOL DOMESTICITY. Oh gosh oh gosh I really like this one. I even like the choreo! Quite a first. The domestic scenes escape me though. THERE'S A GIRL HERE WHO LOOKS LIKE A GROWN UP ACCHAN. LOLOL IS THERE A DANCE BATTLE. Okay obvsly SDN loses though LOL I mean I like the choreo better here but it's still pretty basic and they're super uncoordinated. I think 48 family's PVs are made interesting not just by the fact that there is production quality but also because THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TO STARE AT. The blonde girl in this kinda scares me though her hair and the clown-eye!
Konya wa Karasawagi - Tokyo Jihen
OMG I LOVE IT ALREADY. Also raining money. Oh gosh lol the PV. Omg I love Shiina's voice here. Oh gosh I like this. Also the PV is super intriguing. SHIINA WITH A RIDLE. Also omg it's a murder. Also they introduce them by having them SIGN CONTRACTS I CANNOT. I can't read their names though. Omg I love the clothes here, and the way they gather and all look coolly at the camera. Her coise is flawless here. LOLOL I LOVE THE MURDER THING. Also their band has a pianist! I like this sound omg it's kinda retro-modern IF THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE. Hey they have 2 vocalists? -not very knowledgeable of TOkyo Jihen- Shiina works the mike like a fucking queen. Oh gosh the PV. The entire look and feel of it is perfect. I love Shiina's voice here omg it's really rocker. OH RETRO-ROCK? YES SOMERHING IKE THAT. Beaucoup de bruit pour rien... omg. I love this :D Omg I remember Tokyo Jihen, they had the ramen song (Noudouteki Sanpunkan) and I thought it was weird HAHA OOPS. Okay I still do think it's weird though her voice is kind of amazing though. I do like it when the band joins in though!
Konna Watashi de Yokattara - Kikkawa Yuu
OMG so cute haha. Oh the song is quite cool. Why do I know her btw? OH GOD SHE'S FROM MOMUSU. Umn I super don't follow H!P lol. Does she say atashi or watashi? Oh gosh the dance is quite cute. Also using herself as backdancers LOL. I like this it's kinda bouncy and cute! Omg her voice just reached really low and I like dit. ALSO PLAYING WITH PUPPETS LOL SO CUTE. Ahh she's super pretty when she smiles. Omg the puppets! She should smile more it suits her! And it completely changes her look lol. A bit like Yoshitaka in that sense? Also the dance, because she's in 3 and the style and the effects, reminds me of Perfume. Oh I like the bridge! Okay no not the pitch though. I can't tell if she's straining or it's autotune. Omg I love the film roll thing HAHA. Also oh gosh her thighs are fucking skinny HAHA OKAY YES RANDOM. Oh I like this! I like her voice when it dips low haha. Also her face is like a mix of a lot of my fave actresses HAHA IDEK.
Jammin' the Empire - lecca
Hopefully this is a full version otherwise I won't waste time watching the full one. Omg the PV is creepy. What was that blur thing! OMG. I'M SCARED. Oh omg THERE IS A WOLF-HEADED DOCTOR OR STH? OKAY FEAR HAHA. I liked something from lecca iirc. Hmm. Well idk this song isn't a style I particularly like. Also the PV is actually REALLY CREEPY. She's like. Being a test subject. Also the screens around her. Idk what it is about this song I don't like I think it's the meld of her voice with the instrumental. OH I like the chorus better. LOLOL OKAY NOW THE DOCTORS (?) BE DANCING. Oh the other doctor was a monkey. Okay now the PV. Makes me feel high. Omg the rap. I like the rap! Her voice suits it omg. OH she's escaping her sort-of-bodybag. SHIT IT'S SHORT VERSION IT ENDED. Omg it was from avexnetwork SHOULD'VE KNOWN |: Okay nvm wil watch both anyway. It's 4min long seh o.o
INFORMER - lecca
Okay far less creepy HAHA. Oh gosh I love her lipstick and how it stands out from the black and white. I like this! Omg she eels a bit like CL HAHA. Like her FUCK ALL attitude. Omg with her sunglasses you could tell me she's CL and I'd accept that o.o Oh gosh her earrings are red too! Okay I like this song better. And the PV's colouring is quite cool and she knows how to work the camera definitely. Can I have her hair btw. Can she actually dance? Like she dances here and there but not throughout and not with her backdancers. OMG THE FIGHT SCENE WITH HERSELF> Okay short but cool! Omg I just realised she's saying "INFORMER" but it sounds like. "EAT BURGER" LOL.
YAMASHITA YOUR CHINESE. OMG HE'S ACTUALLY. IMPROMPTU CHINESE? Okay okay it's scripted I THINK but OH MY GOD. Um. Um.
Have I ever spoken about how I love people who speak more than one language? OKAY GRANTED to consider this 'speaking another language' my definition of 'speak' is going to have to be FUCKING BROAD but omg I completely accept this.
Okay I don't really want to watch this I just want to watch him perform SEISHUN AMIGOOOO. Also Shanghai Chinese sounds the BEST. OH YES HE'S. HAHAHA TEACHING SEISHUN AMIGO. THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME THOUGH AHHH. Okay he's back to Japanese! OMG I UNDERSTAND HIM HAHA. The translator is so awk and far away! Oh gosh I like that Yamashita is polite ♥
SEISHUN AMIGOOO. No Kame though ): Okay I'm not gonna liveblog just ham BUHBYE. UM THERE ARE SUBS THOUGH. HAHAHA JS. Also him singing Kame's lines don't feel right oops. Also the stage is super empty w/o juniors LOL. Okay tbqh if I didn't like Seishun Amigo this much, I'd be fucking bored because this is. Well he's just walking around singing it haha. I'd still be thrilled if I were there though! Also it is super awk to dance it alone so yea I'll give him that.
OH MY GOD BACKDANCERS JUST ENTERRED FOR DAITE SENORITA. OKAY NOW HE'S HYPING UP THE CROWD A LITTLE. Yamashita I love you but maybe you're not ready to go solo just yet. Like he's pretty and all but he doesn't command the stage well. Then again this is his first solo and OH GOSH HE SMILED. Okay yes his first solo stage since the NEWS breakup omg he just asked 你们爱我吗 OKAY ANYWAY. Omg he's SMILING. OKAY OKAY now he's on his knees. UM I CANNOT BLOG COHERENTLY. askd;j;alsdkjf. Okay anyway yea he's done solos, but not on stage and not without HAVING NEWS. Yep. His smile tho oh my godd. OKAY ANYWAY yea. I hope he improves though! I mean. I never wanted to see him go solo but he's here already, so. I might as well wish he does well.
WTF MY MSSL HAS NO AUDIO.
ETA: I got it back! Must disable and re-enable the audio track sigh.
MEIKYUU LOVE SONG SINGLE
1. Meikyuu Love Song
FUCKING EXCITE. Okay let's go! Is that. Ticktocking. OMG. I love it already HAHA. It's like! HAPPY. MAPLESTORYISH HAHAHAHA. Bad description but. Omg someone's voice is dead smooth in this oh gosh ♥ This makes me HAPPY HAHA. The pre-chorus is amazing also I want to play drums. Oh gosh. The chorus is a little... disappointing? But it's still nice! HAHA I like it. I can see it fitting NazoDi! Which is tbqh VERY IMPORTANT. Oh gosh I love the overdrama in the last few lines. UM. WHAT IF I SAID THE SMOOTH VOICE WAS JUN'S. Haha he didn't have the nasalness! Aiba's :D Um Nino's voice is amazing here too. OMG I COULDN'T TELL WHEN IT SWITCHED TO OHNO SHIT. Sho's voice doesn't really suit this but well he's the centre for the single! Omg I am still bouncing away HAHA. I can't see how the PV will fit tbh! Omg that wind instrument in the background, I love it. Oh gosh the bridge I love it. Does Sho not get a solo in the bridge! Ohno's voice is fucking silk I swear. WOW Sho didn't! That's. Awkward. Then again Sho's voice didn't suit the song but still. He's the centre!!! Oh gosh I love the structure of the chorus even if it's not as exciting as I expected. The instrumental to this sounds GLORIOUS.
2. together, forever
This could be a ballad or a DANCE SONG. HAHAHAHAH FUCK I WAS RIGHT. It's very techno LOL. Oh haha is Arashi going to get over the techno stage I HOPE SO. Okay the melding of voices for the first line is o.o Oh gosh I like the 2nd stanza though. Is that kaze trio? OMG AIBA'S VOICE. Nino's and Aiba's voices are very clear here. HAHA THE CHORUS IS SO HAPPY. Omg Aiba sounds amazing in this. OH GOSH THE "TOGETHER! FOREVER!" HAHA ♥ Oh I like this HAHA. OHNO'S VOICE CONTINUES TO BE SILK. Aiba's solo lines was too overlayered his voice is PERFECT here. Jun's not so. Actually everyone's is overlayered here. Sho's also. And Nino gets. Nothing. LOL. I CAN'T STAND HOW HAPPY THE CHORUS IS. Oh they switched for the chorus! Like there was the main chorus and the background whispers, they switched roles. I'm following Aiba's voice here he sounds PERFECT. Lol Nino's solo isn't in the bridge either. Hmm I liked his voice here too though. Or what I could hear of it. AIBA'S IN THIS IS PERFECT THOUGH. Gosh ♥ I quite like this!
3. Utakata
I am expecting a happy song. HAHA okay it's quite happy but it has. A style underlying it I can't pick it out. IT FEELS A BIT LIKE. THE SDN PVs I WATCHED TODAY THOUGH. YES YES YES. Oh gosh they picked great harmonies for this. Okay the pre-chorus was a bit weird and the chorus is a little strange? Omg did they just sing "HOHOHOHO". The instrument they use is o.o Omg Nino's voice haha. It suits. Sho's too! Aiba's not so much this one, Jun's also. They all get their moments here. EXCEPT OHNO WHERE EVERY MOMENT IS HIS. Hmm I don't like this as much. Feels rather unmemorable really. OMGOMGOMGOMG SAKURAP! Fuck I was just thinking about how there hasn't been a really good one lately. Hey this was not bad! JUST TERRIBLY SHORT ): Aiba's solo! And his harmony with Nino. Perfection omg. Well. Aiba's voice suits the bridge :D And it's the instrumental. There's a lot of... noise which doesn't match. Which is weird :/
4. wanna be
Omg shit I love it. I hope they do it well though it's not something Arashi would do. Omg I can imagine UVERworld playing the intro. FUCK OKAY this is good. Um omg this is great. OMG THE CHORUS HAHA. Okay haha what's with the random beeping in the back? Ohno omg. The verses are kinda. Amazing. Shoooo. Oh gosh Nino. I'm so prone to his voice lately. Aiba's doesn't really suit this song, WHICH IS STRANGE because Aiba has a rocker voice sometimes but. Hmmm. Omg who. Gasped there. The pseudo-metal is GREAT HAHA. The guitar solo LOL. There is no bridge! But um I LIKE IT. Wow this one's really short 30s less than the rest. THE AMOUNT OF GUITAR. Um please perform this live and have Nino and Aiba jam at each other on electric guitars.
5. Kienu Omoi
BALLAD? Okay yes. Haha finallyyyyy. Omg Nino's voice. SHUDDERING. In its awesome, I mean, that can be interpreted badly. Aiba sounds amazing here too gosh. Omg Nino's voice fits ballads perectly this is amazing. OKAY THE INSTRUMENTAL. The chorus is kinda NOT-A-BALLAD THOUGH. Sho's very near his very good range! Also did they. Scratch the instrumental. That's awk. And Jun sounds... okayish. This is quite strange to me because it starts with a solo line and that's not how Arashi usually works! They have a practically set system. Hmm I don't really like it leh. The chorus is off to me :/ I assumed there would be a bridge... OH yes Ohno. Haha they had a half-chorus before the bridge. Idk I just can't feel the chorus! The verses are pretty though.
OKAY OKAY OVERALL...
Hmmm. An okay single but not very memorable! If there's anything I'll remember it's wanna be. Um I wanted to say I expected it to be rockish or metal but I DIDN'T SAY IT BECAUSE I COULDN'T IMAGINE IT, THEN THEY DID IT. LOL. Also I can enjoy this but not like WOW OH GOSH WOW kinda thing. HAHA FUCK I DON'T MAKE SENSE but yeaaa. Hmmm. Okay single I suppose.
MEIKYUU LOVE SONG PV.
Oh gosh puzzle. HAHA okay I love the colouring AND THE SET. Omg it's gorgeous. OHNO. THE WAY HE ENTERS ALL 'YES!' NINO. AIBA! AND HIS HAAAND. JUN'S LACK OF RESOLVE LOL. SHO. HAHA SO CUTE. ADVENTURES OF PUZZLE STORM? Also the freezing at the start, didn't like it. Made me think my video was jamming. Also Sakumniya are gorgeoooous. OH GOSH AIBA TOSSING THE DICE. HAHA THEY ARE PIECES IN A BOARD GAME. BICYCLE? Oh gosh. HAHAHAHAHAHA AIBA OH GOD. WHAT IS THIS. Oh gosh sitting on DIE. Sho's hair is terrible though. LOLOL GETTING A BATSU. HAHAHAHA JUN FIGHTING A SKELETON. OH MY GOD. I CAN'T STAND THIS. Okay NINO IS GORGEOUS. So is Jun actually. ESCAPE! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA WHAT THE FUCK. They were running away and SHO CAOSTED PAST ON A CHAIR. Omg AIBA IS THE BEST. Oh Nino can I take you home. HAHAH THEY'RE SO OVERDRAMATIC. SKIP A TURN. Omg CAT EARS HAHAHAHAHA. ARASHI'S FACES AT OHNO. HAHA I CANNOT. OMG. SONG. SONG. HAHAHAHAHHAHA FUCK THEY'RE JUST. STARING AND SINGING. Also I just realised Aiba is wearing like A LOT OF FLORALS. OMG DOING THE PAINFUL SQUATS HAHA. HEY THEY ARE AT. TEA TIME. Omg how are they drinking. OMG. THIS PV IS PERFECT HAHAHA. Oh gosh Nino is GORGEOUS. LOLOL NOW IT JUST SAYS 'NINO' AND THERE'S 5 OF NINO. NINO'S FUCKING FACE. AND THE CAT EARED HIM LOL. Oh gosh why do I ALWAYS want Nino's clothes. OH SHO AND YOUR HANDS. Omg they got 1! HAHA. Oh gosh adorable. HAHAHAHAH THE FUCKING CIRCLE. Oh my god. EEEEEE THE END! AHHH. I SHOULD NOT ENJOY THIS AS MUCH AS I DO.
UM TBQH, LOVED IT. The song was a bit slow but the PV was gorgeous. I love the muted colouring, and the set was just plain beautiful gosh the rustic look, the colours, the puzzle pieces and clockwork gears everywhere. And um NINO WAS GORGEOUS. It was his skin when muted and his hair and my penchant for Nino's clothes lol.
ALSO IT IS DORKY AND RIDICULOUS. And I loved the batsu parts! Um what's batsu in - PUNISHMENT GAMES YES. It's like, the ESSENCE of Arashi HAHA. AND IT IS JUST RIDICULOUS. Especially when Sho and Aiba coasted past on a chair and a bike respectively I WAS JUST. CRYING. OH GOSH.
I AM WATCHING THIS AGAIN.
Omg Aiba's clothes are seriously just TERRIBLE what is that getup LOL. But he looks okay in the sweater! BUT THE FLORAL THING.
ALSO GOSH I CHEER WITH THEM WHEN THEY GET THE '1'. Seriously though! How many times must they have filmed that one moment. ALSO JUST WONDERING why didn't they use Sho instead of Nino for the 4 clones thing? I mean they don't always have a clear centre for the singles even with dramas! I think it may be to make up for Nino's lack of activity for the YEAR but I think in general Nino's done enough since 2010 for it to carry forward (was GANTZ 2 not released last year? No? IT WAS.) SO YES QUESTIONS.
Oh gosh there's so much to watch but it's LATE. Also I have 2h left so obvsly this is the perfect chance for me to watch my 2h special of HnA so THAT IS WHAT I SHALL DO.
Also this post is not as long as I expected it to be. THIS MUST BE REMEDIED.
OMG I LOVED IT WILL BLOG TMR didn't liveblog but MY MOTHER'S WAKING UP IN 20MIN LOL OKAY BYE.
-- we love this more than anyone else
