uwa Ueda Ueda Ueda :luv2

I still like him he's still very beautiful/pretty :love

^ Jin's hair is sooooo long. CUT IT, BB. the Olympos scans are okay, i guess. i don't like the wet hair look on him. maybe the Normal Edition scans will be better. :3

i was watching this YamaNade special thingy (i'll post it if there's a better quality on YouTube since the one i watched was soooo LQ)...it sounds like "Love yourself ～君が嫌いな君が好き～" will be their most "pop" song yet. i don't find a rock-influence in it at all like a great majority of their previous A-sides, lol. probably their most "positive, upbeat" song too. but of course, that's from a preview. :P

if i don't like it, hahaha, there's always "THE D-MOTION"...i've been waiting for a track i can groove to like "SIGNAL." :D

i watched the SP on yamanade. it looks like such a fun drama, i can't wait for friday! :D

this is where you can hear "love yourself" (despite the people's voices, you can still make out what the song sounds like. i think it's good so far? :P but like irene said, it's pop-ish)


you can hear another very short preview in a bit better quality during this CM:

ehhh Love yourself will be a pop song ? then again I don't really trust previews other than from PVs

I remembered I didn't like SIGNAL a LOT initally for some odd reasons but I really like it now xD

boy oh boy but I wonder what's this coordinated thing all about o_o & YAY for JOKER rap in Love yourself <3

i've just finished listening to Olympos. even though i'm not the biggest jin fan ever, that has nothing to do with my thoughts of the album :laugh but i thought the album was was just pretty good. BANDAGE stands out the most to me and i'll always love that song (i'm actually not tired of it yet :P). besides for that, i like Olympos (the first track), hatachi no sensou, genkiska, and genki perfect issue. i just think the album tracks weren't as strong as BANDAGE, but it's still very good and i approve of jin doing this type of music. :)

there's a full radio rip of Love yourself here: http://estherzax.livejournal.com/127878.html (not the best of quality, but hey...it's out. THOUGH KOKI/JUNNO, WHY YOU HAVE TO TALK AT THE END, LMFAO!)

better quality, but only 1:38 long.
you can hear the instrumentals in this one, lol.


i actually like it. it's sounded so pop in the YamaNade promotion clips, but the KAT-TUN flair~ is there, thank goodness. xD i like the introduction too! it definitely is different for KAT-TUN.

also, lyric credits are out for "Aishiteiru Kara" & "HEART BEAT" via Johnny's Net

most of these arrangers/composers are new, i think. this should be an interesting release, imo. though, base off the previews for everything, i think "THE D-MOTION" catches my attention the most. AND LOL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR JIN'S ENGRISH CALIFORNIA SLANG ENGLISH LYRICS.

ah I love it that Kame dear has some personal input towards Aishiteiru Kara <3

I already love the live version of Aishiteiru Kara when it was ripped from last year's summer tour so I'm going to love the studio version which I'm 99.99999% sure that will happen xD

& YAY Olympos is officially out today <3 . I hope the local HMV staff will call me soon on this so that I can get my copy :heart
