[KAT-TUN] ♦ ハルカナ約束 ~KAT-TUN Thread XI~ ♦

[ka♡ri.]

so far i've only heard WATER DANCE and i like it!
it does sound like a revamped + better ver. of Splash~

also Karen, I'd go with the booklet. u can always DL the bonus track. but DLing the booklet just won't be the same.

like what Eirynne told me before , either edition that we pick , it's a lose lose situation

if not I just get both editions when they're made available here (depending whether is the booklet nice or not , I don't want another cartoon KAT-TUN II you part 2 again )

I did that for NEWS's colour . Limited edition - Japan press . Regular edition - OS press

T_T

[ll moments ll]

i'm still going towards the LE, myself.
...i think. LOL.

i DLed the longer preview of "SADISTIC LOVE" & it's definitely better than the preview that leaked yesterday.

from what's already leaked, i gotta say, i think this album's shaping up to be better than "KAT-TUN III -QUEEN OF PIRATES-", IMO. unless the rest of the tracks suck majorly, but i don't think that's going to happen. *knocks on wood* there's definitely a more experimental sound on this album. it seems better produced than their previous efforts.

[KarenPang]

Let's see what has leaked out album tracks wise so far (yes I have no life ) :

2) SADISTIC LOVE (Preview)
6) WATER DANCE (Preview)
7) care (Akanishi Jin's Solo)
8) 1582 (Kamenashi Kazuya's Solo)
16) MOON (Regular Edition Track)

5/6 group efforts & 6 solo songs = 11/12 songs together

2 solos , 1 full group song & 2 group songs previews are already out which just leaves :

6) WHITE WORLD (Nakamaru Yuichi's Solo)
9) PIERROT (Tanaka Koki's Solo)
10) Hana no Mau Machi [The Town Of Dancing Flowers] (Ueda Tatsuya's Solo)
11) WIND (Taguchi Junnosuke's Solo)
12) Kimi Michi (Your Road)
13) Shunkashuutou (The Four Seasons : Spring , Summer , Autumn & Winter)
14) White X'mas (Album Version)
15) NEIRO

I count White X'mas in since the album version will be different than the single version & it will have JOKER's rap woot

If the rest of Break the Records -by you & for you- will sound equally solid as the tunes that have been leaked out at this point in time , man it's going to be another great album that they have delivered & hopefully music wise it will be better than QoP

a bit off topic but I think the LIMITED EDITION of DUES & the PV version of RESCUE should have been included in Break the Records -by you & for you- but oh well you can't win them all

===

Kami no Shizuku episode 7 has been subbed - http://community.livejournal.com/jon...34.html#cutid9

& Eirynne this's going to be very embarassing on my part but I didn't know that LOVE or LIKE was cowritten by Akanishi/SPIN til I read their wikipedia page earlier on & that was confirmed after I took out the lyrics sleeve of their 2CDs cartoon KAT-TUN II you & saw Akanishi's name on it

, is that 1 of the reason/s as to why you like LOVE or LIKE ?

[ll moments ll]

actually, not...really. i just like the song "LOVE or LIKE". but Jin helping with lyrics is great too. SPIN was? rumored to be Ueda, but i don't think it is. since...Ueda's work...is under his name. haha.

MEH. the LE is out of stock at YesAsia. so i think i'll have to settle for the Normal Edition. LOL. it's not a huge loss though, since i'm in it for the music. (& there's always the OS presses!)

however, i will be angry if the album artwork is amazing. LMAO.

[KarenPang]

LOVE or LIKE - I couldn't remember how the song sounded like at all but I like it now

I think it's cool that Akanishi had a hand in cowriting it with SPIN

ok that's odd , I swear I saw the LE still made available on sale via YesAsia yesterday @_@

oh well should the album artwork be great , there's always OS press isn't it ?

it's a bit funny that the covers are not out yet considering that it's less than 2 1/2 weeks before it drops

[ll moments ll]

IKR. the non-existent covers are one of the reasons i kinda held back pre-ordering. xD since i know we're getting a special booklet for the LE, but since cKTIIY's booklet, i was hesitant.

I'm quite 60% sure that both editions will be imported to be sold here in due time since the LE doesn't have a DVD this time round like in the case of QoP

I remembered the local HMV importing the OS press/CD only of QoP to be sold here & they also did it for NEWS's colour for both editions , be it OS or Japan press

I guess it's only a matter on whether should I decide to get 1 based on the booklet or the bonus track or maybe both

[ka♡ri.]

hi just wanna add my thoughts on kame's solo.
i didn't want to go into it in the ARASHI thread since it's Arashi's.

anyways -
i don't like 1582. i feel that w/o notice?? was much better.
i still love it to this day.
1582 sounds really awkward what with the weird bg singers and kaem's voice.
he's not that great of a singer in general, but he sounds terrible in his solo.

at least jin is releasing care though!

[KarenPang]

the 1st part of 1582 was a bit ?? but after that , O_O

the panting/sucking sounds were but after I got over that , it was

frankly I still think nothing beats Kizuna & let alone someday for somebody but 1582's something different that Kame brought to the music plate

I really thought that it might be another w/o notice ?? (which I prayed NO cos while I think the song's amusing/cute on all levels but I want him to do something serious/angsty again) but thankfully HELL NO

With Kame dishing out 1582 , he more or less proven to me on why he deserves to be co lead vocalist of the group alongside with Akanishi

but yeah that's just my 2 cents though cos at the end of the day , I 1st go for their music for every single artiste I support , be it Johnny or non Johnny wise . I will be pissed if they're all good looking but are tone deaf

at least jin is releasing care though!

true , I treated care as a new song on my part cos I got onboard their music waay too late (last April/May) & for me to hear it , it's

MOON is also

[ll moments ll]

i don't think "1582" has Kame's best vocal abilities. but music-wise, i personally think it's one of his best. it's very experimental & probably one of his more "darker" songs. the lyrics are very different from usual Kame also.

i felt with "w/o notice??" it was too...lounge-y? for my tastes. cute lyrics & all, but nothing too memorable otherwise...i don't like to admit it, but it's probably one of my least played solos from the DUES solo series.

my favorite is "Kizuna" & "Hanasanaide Ai" (but i really hate his voice in "Hanasanaide Ai", LOL.)

[KarenPang]

talking about the solos in DUES , my least played one's Tanaka's PARASITE cos it really scared me then & now

doesn't help that with lyrics like I Eat U it's just T_T

w/o notice ?? - it's a cute song but I really hope it will be a 1 off thing .

Kame's live performances of it , be it on MUSIC STATION or on the QoP DVD is just (despite the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HAIR )

shake it Kame (points to the QoP DVD performance)

[KarenPang]

The full version of SADISTIC LOVE is OUT yo. - http://www.mediafire.com/?hqnbbyjdygd

I adore the part where Ueda sings

another great track in the bag

ugh just yesterday I saw it on YA and I was going to preorder it but I saw these other cds on ebay and got tempted.....I should of preordered KAT-TUN instead The only other place I found the LE was PlayAsia but that website is kinda sketchy <_<.

Also are booklet pics for KAT-TUN's second album really that bad? I've never seen them.

lol I can't help you when comes to PlayAsia cos I never ordered from there before

you can try HMV HK but it's pricey - http://www.hmv.com.hk/search/search_...at-tun&fmt=Any

for me I will wait for the local HMV to bring in stock for both editions

yeah Eirynne & I don't like them at all & the guys except for Akanishi cos he wasn't around when the 2nd album was released were all dressed in rather erotic outfits & their poses weren't of much help either

If you have a LJ a/c , you can see scans of them via http://community.livejournal.com/jon...ds/109170.html but you need to be a member in order to view/download them

My exact same thought, when I first listened to the preview. But later in the song it doesn't sound much like it.

I want "PIERROT" to leak. >.<
