i think they have the longevity to do so. i hope they can though! it will be sad if there's no million seller this year. :(

OKAY Y'ALL. I GOT MY REVIEW HERE.

嵐のアルバム「僕の見ている風景」 (Arashi's album "Boku no Miteiru Fuukei")

Spoiler:
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
* THANK THE LORD THIS ALBUM ISN'T FULL OF Troublemaker-ESQUE SONGS.
* this isn't horrible?! i like it a lot!
* definitely better than Dream"A"live...because i have forgotten how it sounded like...wow, my brain really blocked that album out. LOL.
* good ballads! i'm surprised. don't really like the funky tunes that much.

DISC 1
movin’ on: a very smooth opening number. i enjoy it a lot!
マダ上ヲ: OMG I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THE ALBUM. its got an Indian? Middle Eastern? flair, but a dance tune. it is so catchy. this will be repeated. i can tell. hahahaha. but wow, i'm very surprised by this song. it is awesome!!
リフレイン: this is a really pleasant ballad, tbh. i really like it!
Troublemaker: ...next song please! LOL. i don't like Troublemaker, don't think i will. but i will say that it sounds better in context with the album. i think it would make a better album track than a single track.
T.A.B.O.O: Sakurai's solo tune! i generally like Sho's tracks and this is no different! he sounds kinda sexy in it, LMFAO
サーカス: interesting track! it's really cool & it got my attention.
ギフト: a ballad! it's nice, but i think "REFRAIN" is the best so far. but it's still very nice.
Everything: ehh...eh...LOL. well, i do enjoy the fact it goes nicely with "GIFT" before it.
Come back to me: LOL MATSUJUN. ahaha. you're trying to be the cool cat, as always. i don't like autotune, but MatsuJun could use it, unlike AkaJin (WHO DOESN'T NEED IT). love the random engrish. i know he's probably serious, but i just smile. ilu MJ, tho.
マイガール: i think it's strange this song goes after "Come back to me". i think "Come back to me" should have gone after "CIRCUS", then "GIFT"...etc. etc. "MY GIRL" is my 2nd favorite A-side from this era, i suppose. but yeah, ok, next...
Magical Song: AIBA AIBA. this is such an Aiba song, no? it's so cute. MAGICAL SONG MAGICAL SONG.
let me down: i don't...remember how this goes...*repeats on iPod* oh right! HAHA. this is a funky number. i love Sho's "low" rap. it's pretty awesome.

DISC 2
Monster: the lone A-side i liked in this era. HAHA. i still like it.
Don’t stop: this is another soul/funk/pop song like "let me down". it's aiight. i'll probably need multiple listens because i don't remember how this goes, lol.
静かな夜に: THIS IS OHNO'S SOLO ISN'T IT. well, boy can sang, let's get it straight. it's a really pretty ballad. i like how the ballads don't bring the album down too much. (they're usually my least favorite, aha)
むかえに行くよ: i think this is the 2nd best ballad. REALLY GOOD. nice job, guys.
1992*4##111: NEENER. i think this solo is OK. not his best.
空高く: lalala. i never cared for it when it came out, so...LOL.
kagero: OUUU, i like this song! it's a dark...mid-tempo sort of song. very interesting.
Summer Splash!: i was expecting something really...pop, so this is nice! a good ending to the album.

i was pleasantly surprised. i liked what i heard! i don't think this is my favorite album, but considering the fact i've been complaining non-stop about Arashi lately, HAHAHA, this is definitely a good thing! i do think some of the single tracks are the weakest link here, like for KAT-TUN's NO MORE PAIN album. i'm still an old school Arashi fan, but this is a nice album!

dreamland2.0 9th August 2010 07:07 PM

Beauty4123 9th August 2010 07:21 PM

irene, your review was a pleasure to read! :) i'm just happy that you enjoyed it, lol. i'm not forcing people to be like THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM EVERRRR, i just want people to enjoy it. since i'm the only obsessed fan who could go gaga over this album :roflmao so i'm happy you liked it! mada ue wo is the most played song for me too :yes

anyway, they got over 700k!! :weep now i'll wait for the magical million, lol. no matter how long it might take :P

Bigtop 9th August 2010 07:34 PM

At least over 700,000, but let's see if this can go a million before the year ends... And remember that they have another new single coming up in a month...

dreamland2.0 9th August 2010 09:03 PM

Okay just listened!!

I absolutely LOVE this album to bits and pieces :heart
Seriously these boys can never disappoint me and honestly I'm just talking about their music because I haven't even watched any of their variety shows or anything yet.
Anyways I love the great mix of upbeat and slow songs! It's great!

But I seriously think this album is genius and I love it!!

Beauty4123 10th August 2010 01:02 AM

to read that people are enjoying this album makes me so happy!! :weep

but sadly, i don't think the album will stay the #1 year of 2010 if utada's BEST gets released anytime before december. but i won't stress over it cause it doesn't matter sooo much to me, since it's utada hikaru and all, haha. i can't hate her for it :P as long as it gets to the million, my crazed arashi heart will be satisfied.

Beauty4123 10th August 2010 01:16 AM

and the numbers are in! 731k for the first week! :yatta

SunshineSlayer 10th August 2010 01:27 AM

^Only 10k less than their Best Of album is nothing short of amazing.

yup very sure it's able to cross the magical million mark next week if not 2 weeks later

hard to believe they barely can sell squat with their previous albums , I see figures for their past if not excellent albums like One , ARASHIC & let alone Time

that was really depressing :laugh D:

I think what's something's that Boku no Miteiru Fukei was only released in 1 edition somemore

they don't need to release x amount of editions to bring in the sales

===

interesting fact with regards to Nino's 1992*4##111 solo

he said on his JWeb that he wrote/composed it this year on his 27th birthday

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/220943.html

It's the first song I wrote when I turned 27

Beauty4123 10th August 2010 03:13 AM

aww, nino is so cute! he even works on his birthday :laugh

KarenPang 10th August 2010 03:17 AM

lol yeah I didn't know about this until earlier on when I was lurking around Nat's LiveJournal community (yeah random_jblogs belongs to her ;p)

She also posted Ohno's latest JWeb translation too -> http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/220627.html

Bigtop 10th August 2010 03:18 AM

They're still too hot - but just wait until next month comes...

...when they still continue to get decent sales? :shrug the album will definately chart in september. obviously not always at #1, but i do think it'll have a decent chart life.

yeah I agree

like what I said before , their charting performance have strengthen in recent years

you definitely will not see their material nose diving like crazy in weeks to come now , unlike what happened in the past

Took quite a while for ALL THE BEST ! to leave the top 20 in the chart somemore so :innocent

RyRyMini 10th August 2010 04:12 AM

Listening to the album now. The main standouts to me are Sho's solo and surprisingly Jun's. =D

They sold more in one week than everyone else has all year!!

dreamland2.0 10th August 2010 04:32 AM

That's the power of the STORM!!!!!!!!! :evillaugh

Bigtop 10th August 2010 08:17 AM

They're absolute #1 - undisputed! Anyone close to that? Nobody else! For right now... I think Arashi has been making large storms for the past three years...

KarenPang 10th August 2010 10:05 AM

Lisa , let both of us rejoice in that 5music Taiwan has updated the Taiwan press catalogue no. & release date info for Boku no Miteiru Fukei to 20th Aug instead of 27th now *________________*
