a mum wrote into the show & said that because of Sakurai's ~~lame~~ attempts to wear double parka on M5 , the mum's son refused to wear a parka to school soon after that D:

:laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh

ROFL. no way! :roflmao if only sho would know that! that's kinda mean but yet too funny! :laugh

uh he knows , my sister watched last night's Hitmitsu & 1 of them was reading that letter out on the studio which was downright epic lmao

& yes Sakurai did wore double parkas again D: but at least colour coordination wise , it wasn't that bad

although I can't help but feel amused that because of this , someone's son stopped wearing a parka to school xD

stupid me, then! :headache but wow, it's amazing how arashi can influence people's decisions! poor sho! :roflmao

one time on mannequin 5 he dressed similar to the rapper of m-flo, VERBAL, and i thought he looked REALLY good! :P so maybe sho's just a hit & miss type of guy? lol.

LOL he tried to redeem himself last night but it didn't really work D: D:

Oh yeah the m-flo outfit haha , those trousers he wore looked really uncomfortable if not tight :lmfao

they did this amusing thing where they tabulated who got the most no. of times that was listed last for all the M5 segments that they have done on Hitmitsu

& you guess it , it's Sakurai ~_~

Aiba has played Lotus in FULL !!!

http://community.livejournal.com/ara...ai/307932.html

I'm listening to it now & it's ACE

I'm very excited to see the PV now , omg omg omg :thud :thud :thud

OMG OMG OMG! thank you aiba!! :smitten

hopefully it's on youtube, lol.

edit: omg it's AMAZING! :smitten i love the sound of it so much! i was so surprised to hear a bit of auto-tune, too! especially in aiba's little solo, lol. but overall, it's such a different sounding song compared to the last few singles! it's so refreshing! :yes i'm really satisfied! but i seem to always be like that, regardless, since i'm too biased...:innocent :laugh

It does indeed sound very good! Not as catchy as truth or Monster but I like the music it's really nice!

I LOVE "Lotus"! Such an awesome song and I can't wait to watch the PV!!! :heart

Somebody posted the translation of the lyrics, if anybody is interested!

Spoiler:

I really like the lyrics a lot!

I'm still in shock that Lotus sounds much better than what I thought :dead :dead2

I know I did said initally the title's just o_O & it doesn't fit the image that Bartender has but I take it all back now haha

maybe Lotus will be the name of a drink that Aiba's character will coin up in the drama ? 8D :innocent

^ haha, that'd be nice! i wonder if we'll ever see aiba drunk? :rofmao

but a Lotus is a type of flower, right? the only thing that comes to mind is that lily from maou, which is found in the "truth" PV, too. :roflmao

yes Lotus is a type of flower & the Lotus root is edible :p which sometimes I eat it if it's brewed/boiled in soups

I wouldn't associate a song like Lotus to concide with a drama on bartendering that's for sure but sometimes at the end of the day , song titles can be so misleading :p

you could actually eat the root? i never knew that, karen! :P

after hearing Lotus in full already, i kinda wish they'd air Boom Boom, too. i'm kinda hyped for that song! :tipsy

yes I can xD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_root#Uses

I know it doesn't look very appetising haha but sometimes my dad & my maternal grandma will do double boiled lotus root soups which herbs such as dates are being thrown in to make the soup more sweet

omg yes they HAVE to air Boom Boom X_X cos of the Sakurap & let alone ever :p

I'm still betting that ever will be a ballad :innocent

haha, i see! honestly i dunno if i'd ever try that, but i learned something new today! :laugh

i thought "over" wouldn't be a ballad, but it was, lol. but "ever" totally sounds like a ballad just by the title. i hope it'll be amazing! same goes for "Boom Boom". i need a new sakurap! :luv2

my gut feeling says that ever will be a ballad since Lotus is such an intense dance no.

so a ballad will be nice to contrast things really well & I'm quite sure with a title like Boom Boom , it will be 1 of those songs that you can hear while going clubbing :p

it's gonna be so hot! :luv2 or at least i hope! honestly, i would love for arashi to use a bit more auto-tune. :innocent after all, it works so well with matsujun's voice, LOL.

I usually dislike autotune being used but for Lotus , I don't mind as it's just bare minimum

MatsuJun's Come back to me was ok , because well he's not the best singer in the group so it was ok for his vocals to be binded together with autotune LOL

the song sounds pretty good!! sounds like a less-dramatic "truth", but it still has that dark feeling to it. :)

in today's AnS (the guest's Waratte Iitomo's Junior) , Aiba mentioned DAIGO on the show 8D xD

http://ameblo.jp/ms-misty/entry-10783946326.html

basically Aiba said that he & DAIGO went drinking together recently & it's quite a known fact of sorts that outta the 5 members in ARASHI , DAIGO's probably the closest to Aiba , given that he & Aiba meet up quite regularly for work (to flim Tensai Shimura Dobusten as they're both regulars on the show) & offwork , they usually meet often to eat Teppanyaki

hmm DAIGO always stuck me as someone who's a wuss when comes to drinking but Nino did said before on Shukudai that both of them give off the same airhead vibes which I agree :P
