[ARASHI] Let's Jump into the Time Capsule of Magical Songs!! ★ thread #28

[Bigtop]

Yeah, seems quite slow tempo there - after all, it's a ballad...

[ll moments ll]

ngl, i was sort of expecting a power ballad of some sorts. like crossroad?

but yeah, it will still sell well. i mean, it's Arashi. and i'm sure the movie tie-in will help nevertheless.

Arashi and AKB848 are the cause of this year's income on single sales surpassing the last 5 years

WHAT THE!?

How in the world could Arashi and AKB48 be the driving force of this year?

the last ballad that really wow me was 2 years back when One Love was released (cos of the fact that I went to see HYD F in the cinemas xD)

but yeah Dear Snow will not be considered as a fave A-side single to me as well

for all the 5 singles that they have put out this year , if I really have to pick one that wow/impressed me the most , it will be To be free

Monster comes in a close 2nd

The other 3 .... I neither like them or dislike them

[Beauty4123]

it makes me sad that you guys don't seem to love Dear Snow i must be too biased for my own good, lol. i think it's better than ashita no kioku, at least.

[KarenPang]

256kpbs of Dear Snow (recorded from Baystorm) , with lyrics in Romanji & Kanji

http://saobang2211.livejournal.com/224190.html

it's hosted under Megaupload , so perfect for you Lisa 8D

I'm glad that you have received Love Rainbow like about time ~_~ . If not , I would harress YesAsia on your behalf LOL

Btw I prefer Ashita no Kioku much more than Dear Snow . Ashita no Kioku just have that climax feeling prior to the ending of the song

For Dear Snow , I don't have that feeling at all . It's like a monotone heart beat D:

Then again , let me put it in another way . Between Beautiful Days & Dear Snow , I will take Dear Snow haha

ok sorry I'm not helping things in anyway possible @_@

[Beauty4123]

haha, i don't hate ashita no kioku, but they've had stronger ballads. but i think arashi should leave ballads as album tracks, because i LOVE album tracks like Be with you, Sirius, Subarashiki Sekai, and right now i'm recently in love with Gift from BNMF! i do like hitomi no naka gakaxy, if we're talking about ballad singles. i think arashi's best songs will always be upbeat. and the past 3 singles weren't so upbeat, so i hope their next single is a real upbeat song, like Troublemaker was. just another fun song is what i'd like despite the fact that i truly do love their past 3 mid-tempo-ish singles.

beautiful days actually took alot of time to grow on me. it was more because of ryusei no kizuna, i guess, that i began to love it more. it's just that after the amaaazing "truth", beautiful days was kinda underwhelming, lol.

and yea, i'm glad i got the single! almost 2 weeks later, but i'm glad! i like the blue colors on the single! it's the best looking cover next to Monster, IMO

[KarenPang]

yeah it's funny because their album ballads are more stronger than the singles themselves :O

Other than the album ballads you have mentioned , I think the ballads from ARASHIC are great too , like Tabidachi no Asa & SLIVER RING

er I guess you can count Hero as a ballad too ? :O o_o

beautiful days actually took alot of time to grow on me. it was more because of ryusei no kizuna, i guess, that i began to love it more. it's just that after the amaaazing "truth", beautiful days was kinda underwhelming, lol.

xD yeah it's true . truth totally pawns any/every single they released in 2008 ;p

and yea, i'm glad i got the single! almost 2 weeks later, but i'm glad! i like the blue colors on the single! it's the best looking cover next to Monster, IMO

haha that's good to know so . I was getting worried as to why it's taking so long ~_~

But at least you have Love Rainbow in your hands now , yay

[Beauty4123]

i can't remember the titles of the ballads from past albums by heart, so yea, what you've listed is what i like too! i think Hero is like a "Love Rainbow" type of song. upbeat but not really, lol. i can't explain it but yea, arashi does do better with ballads as album tracks.

after the whole BNMF dilemma, i think i'm always worried of when a package will come, so thankfully Love Rainbow came pretty fast, lol!

[KarenPang]

LOL yeah for Boku no Miteiru Fukei's case , it was @_@ as usually I get my parcels from 5music about a week after they mailed out to me but never 2 weeks until now D:

I guess the album was probably too precious for them to mail out from their office or something lmao

Hopefully the same thing will not happen when I order Dear Snow for you via 5music

[Beauty4123]

...i wasn't aware that your getting me Dear Snow, karen! really your too kind! i feel so bad now

oops, i forgot to say thanks for the MU link to Dear Snow! i need to DL that, ayumi, and kumi's singles tomorrow now that i'm home for the rest of the week starting tomorrow

[KarenPang]

OOPS

I let the cat outta the bag haha but yeah I can order Dear Snow for you when the Taiwan press is out 16 days after its release date in Japan (even though I will be X_X in Oct & let alone Nov @_@)

But it's ok , Taiwan press are affordble for me & this time round , it's a sure no brainer I will get CD only for you

since Time Capsule will not be found in the CD + DVD

Hmm the last time they never include a B-side in the CD + DVD was Step and Go

no wait sorry One Love since you can't find the FINAL remix in the CD only x)

[Beauty4123]

the suspense kills me so it's alright! i appreciate it so much, as always! i don't mind the wait either!

i wonder how Time Capsule will sound. i'd love if arashi did an electro-ish kind of song with a dramatic feel to it. maybe i think this way cause the world "Capsule" reminds me of "capsule" (yasutaka nakata's music) i still wait for the day that he produces a song for arashi! if he did it for SMAP so he better do it for arashi, too but i guess it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Go go BNMF!! The million is up ahead!!

[KarenPang]

I say probably about less than a month if not 2-3 weeks's time , Boku no Miteiru Fukei will eventually cross the magical million mark if sales keep up

RIAJ already certified the album Million for shipment of 1 million copies & it's their 1st album to get this accolode (not counting All the BEST ! as it's a best album)

CM for Freeter, Ie wo Kau



This has sooo much potential. I think this is going to be my favourite drama of his. Even this short sequence makes me really excited, the plot seems realistic for once and well...I really wanna watch. Finally another drama with an Arashi member that I'm really looking forward to.

nino looks AMAZING in the CM! i can't wait for the drama!
