When it comes to Japan, I don't really mind lip synching.
plus they lip synched their MUSIC LOVERS perfs last year too.

and yaaaaay~ Lisa! I can't wait for you to get it!!

this thread has been going slow lately. =[

Beauty4123 · #42 26th March 2009, 11:29 PM

yea, there seems to be a delay in news lately, lol. what should we post about in the meantime?

..ohh i know! let's all discuss how hot matsujun is!

anything jun related always gets me posting, LOL.

ka♡ri. · #43 26th March 2009, 11:47 PM

^if you asked me that 2 yrs ago...i would've talked forever XD

i prefer all members and all of their hotness. i can't really be specific on one member anymore. o:

like i said, i don't mind lip-synching, but i don't like it when it's constant. i don't care if you're an idol, but you make music and you should do what other musicians do too, which includes live performing. if TOKIO, KAT-TUN, KANJANI8 can do a lot of their material live, why can't Arashi too, you know?

anywhooo...is Oguri Shun part of the "Smile" cast? or like one of those cameo roles? he had interesting hair in these pics i saw.

Beauty4123 · #45 27th March 2009, 01:20 AM

looks like he really IS in the drama!

OMG OGURI SHUN!
The BFFs Reunite!

Arashi performs live most of the time. I was only pointing out their MUSIC LOVERS performances. Those are really the only instances that I can remember of them lip synching a lot. But even when they sing live it sounds great, since they've been out for longer, they're definitely much better at singing live than other groups.

great I look forward to that

reg Music Lovers , who would have thought that Ogura-san's in the crowd cheering for them ?

ll moments ll · #50 27th March 2009, 04:14 AM

well, i can't really say anything about Arashi just yet, seeing as i haven't seen a concert. however, the few performances i've seen of them have been lip-synched or heavily back-tracked, which prompt me to ask if their concerts were the same.

well, i'm gonna watch Time con on YouTube soon. & i'll post my opinions & observations.

KarenPang · #51 27th March 2009, 04:16 AM

So far the Time concert's my fave of the guys , tension was even up there when Nino did Niji live on the piano

ll moments ll · #52 27th March 2009, 08:45 AM

i have to say Time con is pretty entertaining (...thus far. i ain't done. xD). everything flows well & there's a high amount of energy from the guys. lots of group dynamics too. which is something i'll give them props for.

but too much back-track/lip-synching. there's soooooo much of it. unless their live singing as good as their album studio recording....but i doubt it. the only thing live so far is like...Sho.

i'll watch it all though. it seems more exciting than NEWS con, which i haven't finished, lol.

& "Niji" gorgeous. NINO DOESN'T DISAPPOINT. xD

hell yeah & Alice can vouch for that too

I think it helps that both of us really enjoy Time a LOT . The album tracks were totally kick ass

someone once said that she's going to get the CD + DVD of Believe / KNK containing the Believe PV

ll moments ll · #54 27th March 2009, 10:19 AM

yeah, probably! but Time con is pretty entertaining nevertheless (...still not done, LOL.) "Time" isn't my favorite Arashi album though. it's "Iza, Now"...i probably should've started with the con for that album.

but i heard great things about Time con, so i'm watching it.

well, money got tight & i'm saving for my priority artists, so i ended up not getting the single.
but i'm gonna buy their next best album anyway...

in S'porean context , Iza , Now is damn shiok . I listened from Iza , Now onwards & it's great .

I can't comment that much on the Iza , Now tour as I started to watch their concert DVDs from their 1st asian tour onwards

I like One also . In a way if not for Kitto Daijoubu , I would say that ARASHIC & Time are my fave records of the guys

same for me ugh , I just splashed out $ on Yusuke's Himawari single & Kuroki Meisa's hellcat EP via CDJapan

& my 2 CD + DVD's of Believe / KNK haven't come yet from Cliff

, I thought it might come today , I guess it will be tomorrow

preview pics of Sakurai in April's Fineboys & H - http://cutetakato.livejournal.com/18459.html

looking fine indeed

ka♡ri. · #56 28th March 2009, 12:39 AM

NEWS cons = boring.
And I haven't seen a KAT-TUN con yet, so I can't really say if they do back tracking and lip synching either. I just know that their lives (when they are live) aren't too great either. I feel like JE artists lip synch a lot - actually, I feel like Japanese artists lip synch a lot.

and Iza, Now! is my fave album too! that concert is seriously great, Irene you should def. check it out. Everyone should actually! It was my first Arashi con, I love it!

LOVE SHO IN FINEBOYS!
(is it me - or do all the cover boys have like - the same clothes? lol )
and i love his coat in the H previews!

ll moments ll · #57 28th March 2009, 03:56 AM

bad live singing > lip-synching anyday anytime for me. at least they're attempting to do live. KT's most live con is QOP, however, it's not 100% live. more like 80%-85%. i know many japanese artists lip-synch, especially Johnny's, lol (...remember YamaPi's microphone stint for "Daite Senorita" on MS?) but i appreciate the effort of live performing nevertheless.

i'll probably borrow Iza con from my friend the next time i see her. wanna see it in HQ~

Beauty4123 · #58 28th March 2009, 04:32 AM

omg i totally loved yamapi's little incident on MS

that was so funny. i love "daite senorita"

lol that was a classic

& the postman rang my house's doorbell to deliver these to me :

, thank you Cliff & that Sakurai photo was a surprise man & no it's not for me , it's for my younger sister

she's going to SCREAM her head off when I give it to her in due time after she comes back home

so now I have all 3 editions of truth / Kaze no Mukou e & also that goes for Believe / KNK

T_T

ll moments ll · #60 28th March 2009, 04:41 AM

LOL. my friend sang "Daite Senorita" & copied the whole incident on Karaoke. it was pretty genius.

it would've been ~EPIC PERFORMANCE~ if he actually dropped it. oh mannnn.

ouuu, nice singles you got there, Karen,
