[ARASHI] the トビラ is open to Arashi 17th thread !

ll moments ll · #1 16th February 2009, 04:41 AM

JE's been very weird with releases lately. i used to predict stuff & be somewhat accurate, but now i can't anymore.

but it seems like all the focus is on KAT-TUN & Arashi. which is nice & all, but umm, there are other groups too...like TOKIO's pretty non-existent right now, haha.

i'm surprised JE's not capitalizing on K8 right now since they just had their greatest single sales ever...

Arashi is a senpai group and they'll have their 10th Anniversary this year, so I understand the focus. But why KAT-TUN? I understand that NEWS and K8 can't have such a tight release schedule, because of Nishikido (I'm not blaming him, though!!), but there hasn't even be an announcement of anything new yet.

I like how the "Believe" PV looks so far. ^^ A dark PV is quite surprising, but it's a nice surprise.

I don't know why's Johnny pushing KAT-TUN to release & unofficially go head on with ARASHI as ... I don't know it's just wrong & BAD on all levels , be it wallet & probably material *points to self ,

me too but I guess it's the lyrics that's playing a part in the song . Initally I thought it's a peppy no. but after my younger sister said it otherwise that's not the case

^The lyrics are quite thoughtful and even quite sad at times. Maybe they chose a dark PV to emphasize the lyrics. If it was colourful with lots of stuff going on (like "Happiness" PV), maybe people wouldn't pay as much attention to the lyrics?

LOL "Ryo 1/2". Hot water: Kanjani8. Cold water: NEWS. xD

mmm maybe you got a point & yes Believe's something like fairyland in that the melody's happy & all but internally it's saying something otherwise

I welcome another truth part 2 , PV concept wise

I only can recongised some of them from AnS because it was when DAIGO appeared on & Aiba was wearing gloves as he's a closet DAIGO person

that & also VS ARASHI too . The Himitsu ones I recongised some of them especially the T-shirt/s that Ohno wore

to be quite honest...i don't really know why KT's been given the attention. i mean...it's quite strange how they're the ones who will be writing history in Tokyo Dome and not...SMAP or KinKi Kids, right? but i guess JE needs to shift focus on the current generation and i think KT's probably the only group right now that can gather that attention.

& i think it's weird that Arashi's considered sempais now. xD they could fit in with the newer Johnny's, but now that i think of it, they made their debut when i was still in elementary school and now i'm a college student. D:
