[ARASHI] The 「 truth 」 ~Arashi Thread 10~ - Page 16

there's only a few JE units that i really love albums from: TOKIO, KinKi Kids, & KAT-TUN. it's because they actually take part in their albums. A LOT. whether it be lyrics, composition, themes, demo-hunting, etc.

but it's true that JE is singles/DVD loaded. albums barely get the promotion the singles/DVDs get. like i've said many countless times before, only the core fanbase gets the albums. there really isn't an incentive to buy a JE album unless you're dedicated, really.

^ that's true Irene

also I realise that the albums of JE acts are not like avex in that they tend to put more non singles than singles on their albums which sometimes can be a challenge for me especially if you're not the type that like an album choked full of new songs than singles

JE should do something on the DVD content of the JE acts's albums it's too stingy

but when comes to concert DVDs , it's madness I tell you

Ah, I forgot about KinKi Kids. I almost forget they're on JE since they seem to be so involved in their music and not manufactured at all. Plus Tsuyoshi is so cool

You can't compare JE and avex because they're two different types of things. avex is a record company, while JE is a talent agency. V6 is on avex but they don't sell as well as other JE artists, not even as well as other avex artists.

But I don't think Arashi is that manufactured. They've written their own songs, they've composed their own songs, they've done a lot. The only group I feel that's really manufactured is NEWS.

P.S. - Irene, how does KAT-TUN take part in their albums? Don't they have people write and compose their songs too?

that's true Kaori

It's quite sad that acts like V6 and Tackey & Tsubasa doesn't sell well as compared to their JE counterparts

curse of Avex much ?

KAT-TUN - erm if you count the fact that Tanaka writes his own rap lyrics then yes ?

ayupi · #**307** 15th July 2008, 01:04 AM

@karen - oh really? i didn't see it haha
it's so funny

yay...T&T's SAMURAI single was awesome imo.
but it sold horribly =(

comic strip - I seen it before but it was nice to see it again & yes it's very funny

T&T - I know

& the worst thing's that Koi Uta / PROGRESS's sales's even lower than SAMURAI

maybe if T&T were to leave avex , their sales will improve ?

I dunno ...

EDIT -

I have a question regarding Step and Go .

I know that a special "Cubic Box" edition was available only to members of the official Arashi fan club in Japan which contains an organizer set and a special edition CD .

What's the content like for the special edition CD though ?

Beauty4123 · #**309** 15th July 2008, 01:12 AM

dosen't sho write some of the lyrics in his raps, too?

erm ya Sakurai does

in fact I think usually rappers will tend to write their own rap lyrics as they can relate to them more than the rest of the band

It will be funny if Aiba were to write them & Sakurai's doing the rapping & all

EDIT -

with regards to http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Japan-ARASHI-...QQcmdZViewItem of the 2 promo cards/stickers , where were they taken from ?

I don't think it's something recent isn't it ?

Beauty4123 · #**311** 15th July 2008, 02:11 AM

i can't stop listening to how to fly and hello goobye by aiba.

"na na na na, hello goodbye"

such a cute song, lol. aiba =

Hazuki · #**312** 15th July 2008, 02:13 AM

Karen~ The cards are from the movie MatsuJun starred in;
" Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru " (I'm in Love With My Younger Sister)
That movie was in 2007

Beauty4123 · #**313** 15th July 2008, 02:15 AM

speaking of that movie, i once saw some parts of it on youtube! ugh, disturbing.

it's just weird to watch a movie that has matsujun playing that kind of role.

ah thanks for that piece of info much appericated

what's the plot of the movie like though ?

revert back to a previous post of mine since no 1 has answered it yet :

"I have a question regarding Step and Go .

Beauty4123 · #**316** 15th July 2008, 05:11 AM

i think "i'm in love with my younger sister" says enough about the plot.

Well, Koki wrote SIX SENSES and if i'm not wrong, Jin wrotes Keep the Faith with Kyousuke. But almost all the solos from the single Don't U Ever Stop(four of them) were written by them, and Don't U Ever Stop was written by SPIN. I think it's pretty awesome o.o

I really would like to listen a song written by Ohno. He is so talented, it'd be amazing.

And Maou is really amazing. Omg, the first episode was totally awesome. Can't wait to watch the second.

Sorry, i forgot to introduce myself. I'm a JE fan from Brazil. My favorites JE units are KAT-TUN and Arashi. I knew Arashi when they released WISH. I was searching a new single to listen, and the name called my attention. When i listened, i simply loved totally the single. Then i listened One, and i'm here now. hahaha

Nice to meet you all

i know KAT-TUN has control into what goes into their albums and finding songs that fit their style. Jin's responsible for the inclusion of "RHODESIA" in Best of KAT-TUN & "SIX SENSES" in -QoP- (& i think Kame really wanted "MOTHER/FATHER" in it since he was planning on using the demo for his solo, but went with "w/o notice??" instead). i think of the more recent units (NEWS/K8/K-T/H!S!J), they have the most control of their musical career & style image. and i'm pretty darn sure the pirate theme is allllll them.

...and since i'm the Arashi thread, LOL. i still need to finish "Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru". i started it, but never finished it. cuz it kinda got boring.

but then i heard everything happened at the end. sooo, i need to get around to that.

welcome to the thread TABOO! (i love that KAT-TUN song!)

#**319** 15th July 2008, 06:57 AM

^AAAAAAAAH~
BTW, Jin didn't write Keep the faith. I checked my Keep the faith booklet.

I've never even watched the movie yet. I totally plan on it though. I really loved Matsujun in Tokyo Tower. He was such an ass!!! But I loved his scene in the bathtub....
