[ARASHI] Arashi's All the Best -21st Thread-

[ka♡ri.]

I don't disagree with you when you say season and Everything sound similar. They do. But I wouldn't say that the other singles sound the same. Believe and Crazy Moon and Ashita no Kioku all have very distinct and different sounds.

And about the singing live thing, yeah they do sing live a lot but they also lipsynch. I don't see what the problem is. Compared to other Johnny's groups, their schedules are much more packed. So it's understandable that they might have to lipsynch sometimes so as not to present their fatigue. I'm sure if they sang every single song live, we'd probably hear how tired their voices are. And I'm sure no fan wants to hear that. That's why I'm fine with lipsyncing. s

for me , I don't mind if they sing live & that they sounded raw no matter how bad/good the outcome's , that should be the way & it's impossible to lipsynch rapping especially when comes to Sakurai when he raps live , you can tell he wasn't doing that at all .

I'm OK with them lip synching but when you're talking about back to back 'live' performances (especially in evident in their Utaban , MUSIC STATION & HEYx3 performances of Everything) , it starts to grate down on me & I might as well go & listen to the CD versions of the songs & not see them perform it 'live'

no matter how packed their schedules are , they should at least try to sing once live . For upbeat songs which requires them to move a lot , I can pardom them somehow but for a slow no like Beautiful days which doesn't have any dance moves , I don't think they should lip synch at all & since they're considered senpai's already in Johnny's , they should be set examples to their juniors on this isn't it ?

I like all of their singles this year, but none of them to me so far have the hookiness or originality of almost any of their singles from 2004-2008 where they were constantly churning out stuff like Kitto Daijoubu, Sakura Sake, We Can Make It etc etc.

[ka♡ri.]

^I guess. I really think that Believe is really different and unique. But I totally get what you mean. There was a lot more experimenting then.

[Beauty4123]

i'd seriously LOVE another kitto daijoubu

they probbably won't even release a new single until, like, next year with the BEST and the tour.

I didn't mean to say that, sorry. But after all those singles I wasn't too sure about what exactly was released, so I chose only those few songs. ^^;

[ka♡ri.]

^lol you don't have to apologize! And it happens!

Lisa, we'll see. Arashi always surprises us. But I hope they take a break with singles. They have enough on their plates.

I have a feeling they will release a new single around November. Johnny's is all about the records and if they release another single they have a legitimate shot at the yearly top 4 - which as far as I know has never been done before. From a company stand point, you really don't want to slow down when you have an artist on a roll like this.

[Beauty4123]

true, true i guess we'll wait and see! expect the unexpected

yeah you never know what JStorm will be up to next . I still want the release of their Dream"A"live tour to be released on DVD though but something tells me it might not happen T_T

& omg I want another Kitto Daijoubu too ! If not I wouldn't be here at all AHAHAHAHA xD xD xD

That's when I thought they'd release the best album. But I was wrong obviously. They might release 10th Anniversary single. O:

I'm still waiting for it to be released even though frankly Dream"A"live is my least fave album of the guys , but still I heard that the special effects & props stage setup were solid

& the fact that they dressed up like sea creatures is

THIS.
i don't see the need to lip-synch "Everything", really. it's not entirely hard to sing. i can probably do it at karaoke just fine, unlike "LIPS" where i am yelling all the time or even "Believe"/"weeeek", where i have trouble reading the lyrics because it's fassssst and i'm like @_@~, LOL.

someone should introduce back-track to Arashi. it's not entirely lip-synching, but at least it has elements of live performing.

LIPS - I love it whenever Kame SCREAMS the living daylight in beginning of the live performances of LIPS AHAHAHA xD xD xD

Even my younger sister has issues with ARASHI lip synching too often . It's fine once in a while but not like doing it in like block lip synching within back to back 'live' performances

then I might as well go listen to the CD instead as it more or less defeats the whole purpose of performing 'live' to begin with

truth / Kaze no Mukou e - single
B-side of truth / Kaze no Mukou e - Smile

Beautiful days - single
B-sides of Beautiful days - Boku ga boku no subete & Wasurerarenai

Believe / Kumori nochi, kaisei - single

Ashita no Kioku / Crazy Moon - single

Re(mark)able - non single , found in their ARASHI IS ALIVE Photobook in a separate CD from the photobook & you can find this as track #9 in the 3rd disc of their upcoming All the BEST ! 1999 ~ 2009

so in short , they have already released 6 singles since last Feb's Step and Go

[Aga-chan]

^I just figured that I forgot the "HYD FINAL Remix". ^^; But that's a, um, remix, right? lol
Did "Re(mark)able" come before or after "Beautiful days"?

haha yes FINAL Remix is the guys's 1st remix that they have done in their career

it's quite a fitting title because it strings together all the 3 songs that were used to promote HYD which're WISH , Love so sweet & One Love

you only can find that remix in the CD + DVD of the One Love single

Re(mark)able aka the ARASHI IS ALIVE photobook was released on 5th Sept . You have a special CD that contains Re(mark)able in the photobook that's slotted at the back of the photobook which has a pocket

I know because my younger sister bought the photobook herself last Oct when she went to Oita , Japan for a student exchange trip

the photobook was re-released on 12th Dec last year without the CD

Beautiful days's release date was 5th Nov so yup

[Aga-chan]

^So I figured right. lol Thanks. I tried to make the list chronological.
