i can't review it just yet (i've been honestly trying to get my laptop's wireless to work ALL FREAKING DAY. :gnash but i'm using the actual...house internet? now, lol. :cool)

but good to see some positive reviews. YAY!

btw, i read a translation of Yokoyama's solo & it's about his deceased grandpa. i LOLed at the beginning, but then IT GOT REALLY DEPRESSING. :( READ IT HERE

I heard Ryo's solo on youtube and let me say I LOVE it. It's very different from code and ordinary.

I HAVE MUCH LOVE FOR THIS ALBUM. :heart
my favorite new unit song is "Rolling Coaster". omg, it's infectious! i really like everything about it. i can't wait for them to perform the song on the tour! :D

& UMMM. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW HOT OHKURA'S SOLO IS. *fans self*
what's with Ohkura & Kame churning out sexy solos this time around? I WASN'T READY FOR THIS WAVE OF SEXY. :weep there's even panting sounds "no-no-no". & OHKURA USES VOCODER FOR A PART TOO!!

like i say, i think Ohkura & Kame are like...twins. Ohkura's the Kansai version & Kame's the Kantou version. xD

I did reviews for all of the guys's albums already & naturally PUZZLE will come in due time

& of course this's Ryo Nishikido we're talking about ! :mischief :innocent

oh i forgot to mention i've read your K8 reviews, Karen! they're quite good. :yes

LOL. i thought it was cute how Ryo couldn't say "Aishiteru" & instead put random ass symbols in the lyrics. :laugh

i also love "rolling coaster". ryo and subaru (it's them singing, right?) sound great together. :D

anyway, to me, i honestly enjoyed the album (it was my first KJ8 album, lol). in all honesty, i kinda prefer kanjani8 with upbeat crack songs instead of like, slower paced songs (the first half of the album was kinda slow, i think. maybe it's just me). but my favorite tracks are ichibiyou KISS, gori-gori, Brulee, and Giga-majime waga Fight. i think i gotta hear the album more to appreciate all the songs (i only played the album once). tomorrow i'm gonna listen to the solos on disc 2. i'm too...lazy to do it right now :laugh

but anyway, it really was a solid album. not gonna lie :D

...and that's what those symbols in "code" represent? :thud i never knew it was supposed to be "aishiteru" :laugh

I THINK THE SOLOS ARE AMAZING. there's definitely more variation. the K8 disc 1 was mostly "band" material, but there's more style changes in disc 2.

DUDE, WTF WAS THE INTRO TO MARUYAMA'S SOLO. LOL I LOVE IT. it's like...a jungle. like literally. :laugh

but my favorite is Ohkura's "no-no-no". :cool

thanks Eirynne even though frankly I think I kinda screwed things up with KJ2 :dead2

So that's up with those random code thingy & here I was thinking was Ryo swearing ? T_T

:D

Am the only 1 who thinks that Brulee sounded a bit like Kemuri (B-side in Musekinin Hero)

I had a sense of deja vu when I heard Brulee

===

I like Ryo's Half Down so far . Subaru's words was ehhhh on 1st listen :laugh

GASP. Karen.... you make Mishelle sad.... Some fangirl you are. :rolleyes

LOL :laugh & ehh he did mentioned about it in the Never Ending Wondeful Story DVD ?

T_T I have the DVD with me & it's OS press in that it has inbuilt traditional chinese subs

I should check it out after I'm done with Uni finals within the next 2 weeks @_@

^No need to do all of that here it is subbed.



Starts at 3:17. Only 9 more posts and we're at 500

SO.......am i the only one fangirling over "no-no-no" :weep

but in regards to "code", lol, i didn't catch it at first too. since i was like, "....WHY IS HE WRITING "YEAH" WITH WEIRD SYMBOLS". but then i think on LJ someone explained that it was "Aishiteru". but then i think Aga-chan explained how each symbol stood for = ア・イ・シ・テ・ル (A-I-SHI-TE-RU). & then i totally got it. :laugh

Thanks Mishelle &

I think no-no-no's OK but I'm not sure why this time round the solos on PUZZLE didn't somehow stick out to me that much unlike in KJ2

maybe because I was expecting Okura will be doing another ballad again ?

then again it's not fair on my part to say this considering that I only just went though 1 round in listening to both discs so hopefully in days to come , my opinions on the solos will change ?

OK I got it now T_T

& Eirynne shouldn't you make a new Eito thread now ? cos well it's about time :D & even though it's not 500 posts yet but you probably want to do it for safety reasons :laugh

HMMMMMM. i just need to think of a title.
oh wait...i'll just use rolling coaster. LMAO. :laugh

i can't make any new gfx right now seeing at my laptop is being dumb. :grumpy but yeah, i'll just wait out until the thread is done.

K8 SPAM, PLEASE! :D

LMAO I love Rolling Coaster but shouldn't you use Puzzle ? cos well it's their new album & I adore that song a LOT on the record :smitten

btw Eirynne , didn't Ryo went blonde a few years ago ? was that for a drama role or something ? :shrug

cos I remembered Tegoshi was saying that he was scared of Ryo in blonde hair :dead2

The hair that he has in NeverEndingWonderfulStory is the closest color to blonde.

All this Ryo talk made me change my avatar. Next up a shirtless Ryo sig!

LMAO. i approve of shirtless ryo @ AHS. :laugh

Karen - i don't think so...every Johnny has dyed their hair blonde at one point in time though. xD even Kame. D:

:roflmao

He has 1 of the best bodies in Johnny (behind Yamapi) imo

whatttt Kame was blonde before ? :O . I have pics of him in brown hair & etc but not blonde

when was that ? when he was still a teenager ?

Kame wasn't blonde blonde, but pretty close. i don't have any pictures, lol, but the lightest he's gone in recent years is his Gokusen 2 hair. he's been blonde-ish when he was a Junior though. Ryo went full on~

OKAY YA'LL I'M GONNA MAKE THE THREAD. :cool

Yeah AHS could use Ryo's smexyness.

Ryo's body would beat Yamapi's if Ryo worked out as much as he does.

Shige had blonde hair, so did junno (or was it orange?)and yamapi. The list most likely goes on and on.

YAAAAY I'm the 500th poster and this pist gave me my 600th post. YEAH!
