i got into arashi RIGHT when the step and go PV was released. i remember it like it was yesterday, lol. it was on a friday in february 2008
i loved the song back then, but since i was obsessed with love so sweet at the time (since i just watched HYD back then) i didn't love it as much. but obviously now i love it, and every since since one love. i really don't see how the singles since one love are bad. as a new fan, their music direction since then has drawn me in. so i dunno...it's understandable that some old fans don't fully like this change, but every artist has their change in music, so i think it's normal.
for example, i loved koda kumi back in 2005/2006. as an old fan, i don't dislike her music now, and i haven't lost interest. it's just that i really do think her music was better back then as opposed to now. if i liked arashi since 2005/2006 too, maybe i wouldn't like their current music. i dunno, really. basically, i guess it just depends on a person's taste in music.
sorry for making such a dumb post. i just feel bad if i don't join in with an opinion
