truth / 風の向こうへ single thoughts:
truth: definitely one of the strongest Arashi tracks i've heard in a while. it's different from the slew of poppy songs Arashi has been putting out lately. it's dark, edgy, but catchy. best A-side since "サクラ咲ケ", imo. also, i'm suffering the "魔王" effect too, haha.
風の向こうへ: i just can't seem to like the song. easily forgettable, imo. the only thing i liked was the Sho rap. i love Sho raps.
スマイル: it was like "風の向こうへ", just not that memorable to me.
so yeah, i like "truth" the best, i guess. like i've been saying, the pop music is getting excessive now w/ "風の向こうへ" & "スマイル". their past 8 singles have been somewhat similar in style, though the first 4 (WISH, Kitto Daijoubu, Aozora Pedal, & Love so sweet) have been better than the last 4 (We can make it!, Happiness, Step & Go, & One Love), IMO. i think "truth / 風の向こうへ" is one of the more better singles from Arashi lately, but not by much.
