Yep, must have been a surprise for Kuu's fans there - but at least I don't follow her anymore: my story goes since September 2007 that I would have interest because of "Ai no Uta", and then got interest into her album "Kingdom", but when the scandal came, interest declined, and for me, I decided that it did not actually fit my standards, and the fact that Arashi is quite exciting compared to Kuu, I'm still happy that I'm not part of the Kuu family and I'm still in the Arashi family since summer/fall of 2007...

I don't know why you're dragging Kumi in but it's not the 1st time she has faced up against Johnny's for her single releases , just so you know for not doing your homework

3 SPLASH went up against Tegomass's Tanabata Matsuri & despite 3 editions , it still lost out to Tegomass

anyway fangirls being fangirls have succesfully 'demolished' the 1st press edition of To be free on CDJapan

seems like this time round , the 1st press portion of the single's the 1st press/limited aspect as usually CD + DVD released by Johnny's are limited

I stopped buying ARASHI's singles since ... Troublemaker . I'm relieved I stopped cos I know for sure they will keep on releasing singles like crazy

I rather buy albums from Johnny's now LOL & I'm running outta space in my room as well X_X

LOL, good decision, especially because now that they're so popular Johnny's probably wants them to chug out a new single every 5 days XD

[KarenPang]

yeah & this will prevent people from buying albums cos albums sold generally worst than singles , Johnny's wise

you seldom see nowadays a Johnny's album cracking the million if not 1/2 a million mark

mmmm anyway

To be free's preview sounds .... Summer inspired ? I hope it's not going to be another Everything if not I will feel really really really bored

i don't think it'll be like Everything. To be free seems to have a slower arrangement and the instrumental is so pretty, IMO

[dreamland2.0]

Is that the instrumental of it? Because it sounds really pretty!!
A very nice summer song for sure!

I like buying singles, it's not like it's a chore for me and I'm being forced... it's my choice because I like buying things from my favourite artists and specifically Arashi because their PVs aren't on their albums so I have to collect them XD

[Beauty4123]

yup, it's the instrumental! it says "To be free" at the bottom left corner

[dreamland2.0]

Oh duh I totally missed it XD
anyways I really like it, it's more upbeat than Everything.

[Beauty4123]

really? i thought it was kinda slower regardless, i think it'll be much better than Everything, lol.

[Bigtop]

Slow stuff aren't really their best parts for Arashi, isn't it?

er no

they have some really solid album tracks , ballads wise

Tabachi no Asa , Be with you , SILVER RING

those are good ballads , really really good ballads

[Beauty4123]

and also Blue, subarashiki sekai, Still..., itsumademo, and natsu no name (well, these songs excluding Blue aren't actual ballads, i think their just slower songs or mid-tempo kinda songs. i can't really find a term to descrive them, but they're still such good songs).

[Beauty4123]

sorry to double post, but ohno played To be free (a preview, not the full song) on his radio show!!

http://community.livejournal.com/5x10_love/21458.html

i'm downloading now!

edit: the quality is bad, but it sounds so nice! much better than Everything already

[dreamland2.0]

ooo I like it a lot!!! The arrangement from what I can hear sounds so nice!!

[KarenPang]

I downloaded the preview of To be free @ http://saobang2211.livejournal.com/93528.html

mmmm , I thought it might going to be another Everything but the preview surprised me of sorts

I was quite impressed with it if I have to say so myself since I have been really nit picky over the type of music they have been releasing

I probably might like the full version when it's up & running

Kaibutsu-kun to Become a Movie??

The first time Kaibutsu-kun was at the preview screening, it had received negative reviews. But as the show continues covering a lot of family problems, it gathered attention from many families who watched together. The first episode had a high rating of 17.5%, but by the 7th episode, it's average rating dropped to 13.9%. Before, 15% would be considered the passing rating, however this time, it seems 13% is comforted enough that the film has already been decided by this result. With Arashi's current popularity, many fans may watch it at the theatres as well. Matsumoto Jun will be making a cameo appearance in the drama's last episode, as Kaibutsu-kun's butler, so there is a possibility chance that other group members may appear in the movie as well. The film's storyline will be original and it is planned to be released next summer with a large international location shooting. Also, during the movie's release, Kaibutsu-kun merchandise are planned to go on sale. The film version of the popular drama series, Hana Yori Dango Final, starring Matsumoto in 2008, was a box office hit record of 7.75 billion yen (probably that's what they meant, original site says 77.5). Will Kaibutsu-kun be able to approach this popularity?

i'm enjoying the drama and all, but i dunno how a movie would be made. but it's good for ohno, at least! it would be his first lead role in a movie, i think

[Beauty4123]

OMG! new york's radio station z100 aired Monster!!!

http://community.livejournal.com/ara...nt/860777.html
