As expected on the NINKI ratings.

But what?! Only three artists listed on next week's Music Station!? Usually its five or six (in the past, seven at max), but why three???

yay! thank you aiba! i found the song on youtube, as well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu8r2S5eQZo

gonna listen to it now!

edit: LOVE IT! i thought it'd be another ballad like "over" and "maboroshi" but it's pretty different! it's like "One Love" in some way. maybe it's just me, haha. but it's like a cute ballad! i really love it!!

aha I knew it that ever was going to be a ballad & I was right

it's a bit different from their usual ballads & like what Lisa said , it does sound like One Love to a certain extent

it's pretty I like it .... now's to wait for Boom Boom !

Oh, "ever" is nice.
I think, this song could grow on me, even when it sounds a bit boring right now!

I just watched the PV and I'm in love. First of all, I love the choreography. It has so much energy and I like that. I also like the bittersweet feeling of the video - everything is so pale and I can't help feeling a bit sad watching it, but it's not a bad sadness (yes, I know I'm weird! ).

I also love their outfits in the video, especially Riida's (I had to force myself not to look only at them at the group scenes! ).
And I love the cherry tree that is growing out of the wall.

It was also my first time listening to the whole song and - thank you Arashi - I'm addicted to "Lotus" now.


Now I can't wait to watch them perform this song at "Music Station" next Friday!!!
