[NEWS] / [テゴマス] The 19th ～BE FUNKY!～

[ll moments ll]

i got my review!

恋のABO: errr, i actually think this is one of my least favorite NEWS songs/singles. ever. XD
LIVE: this one is a really high-energy song. this is perfect for concerts! i like this one a lot. i definitely like it more than the little preview i heard earlier.
生まれし君へ: i don't know why, but i feel like i've heard this song somewhere before (whether it be another JE song or somewhere in J-pop, lol). it sounds so familiar! but i really like the song, it's really catchy. and i love the strings in the song. it's very pretty!
Supernatural: this is very laid-back song. OMG RYO SOUNDS SOUNDS SO BAD IN THIS SONG, LMAO. this isn't a "ryo" song. XD but i think i'll need to listen to this more.
秋の空: oh this is definitely one of my favorite songs. they sound so amazing in it! i really like NEWS' harmonies, tbh.
２人／130000000の奇跡: it's super pop-rock, lol. i think it's okay. it's not my favorite song.
Dancin' in the Secret: ouuuu, i think this is a great song, tbh. but i WANT IT TO BE SEXIER. come onnnn. YOU CAN BE SEXY, U KNOW.
ワンダーランド: omg, you know, this had great potential to be an AMAAAAZING electronic, dance song. i'm so disappointed the pop elements overtook it. man...i probably would've ranked this album higher if it was, lmao.
さくらガール: i love this song! one of my favorite NEWS A-sides, tbqh.
BE FUNKY!: great album track. i loved it when i heard it a while back. catchy, great vocals, etc.
D.T.F: NO.
内容の無い手紙: i rank this high with Umareshi Kimi he and Aki no Sora. AWESOME, AWESOME SONG. i really like this type of song for them. if Hilchryme, GReeeeN, etc. would just compose all their songs, i'd be grateful. LMAO.
エンドレス・サマー: i think they guys sound so great in this song. but i'll need more listens.
Share: i'm so glad they released a studio version of this song! great, great track.
Forever (Unplugged Ver.): very nice! i love the original, so i'm glad to hear a stripped down version of this song.

overall, i actually think it's a solid album! but...here's the downfall, i think, to it. the album doesn't really have...the Ai Nante, code, SNOW EXPRESS, Koiyake, Love Song tracks to it. (basically, really stand-out tracks that define the album). i think it's great that it's really consistent though. i wasn't expecting much.

album ranking: color>pacific>touch=LIVE

you know Caroline , I can help you to get the album on your behalf if you don't want to wait so long for damn-ing YesAsia to get the links up since Taiwan press for LIVE will be out on Oct 1st

somemore YesAsia & let alone HMV HK charge more for Taiwan press of whatever they sell

I'm just a PM away if you need my help on this

[waterballoon]

gosh... the concert goods.. gosh Ryo Nishikido, just how much hotter can you get?

[dreamland2.0]

^LOL

I thought he was so funny on the Unplugged DVD XD
All the unplugged songs were SO GOOD!!

All the goods look so cute!!

[KarenPang]

the concert goods are not bad but not great either

the only good thing I like about them is the font & the tour logo but other than that , not really so

Yamapi looked terribly sad in the Jumbo Uchiwa o_o

Also , I feel they're too .... safe ? I want to see stuff that you will not consider them to be concert goods but are counted as so

like toilet paper *a nod to KAT-TUN's Ueda

[jiarongisme]

I NEED THESE.

[chibi_sunny]

^ I second that

AMAZING. 2 OF MY FAVORITE TEGOMASU SONGS WERE PERFORMED!! <3

[KarenPang]

real solid tracklist

I'm happy to see the standout tracks from LIVE , inclusive of Aki no Sora , BE FUNKY ! & Naiyou no Nai Tegami

Of course past gems like SNOW EXPRESS is still a great song even up to now <3

Dancin' in the Street

I guess you mean Dancin' in the Secret , Jia Rong ? 8D

although I prefer Dancin' in the Street as it makes more sense , English/Engrish wise xD

[jiarongisme]

^ Umm, I merely copied the setlist from the site and didn't really edit. So~

[Bigtop]

Anyone knows where are the scans for these albums?

• pacific
• color
• LIVE (the recent one)

[jiarongisme]

Yes, we all know the LIVE is the recent one.

Anyway, scans can be found here. No scans of LIVE are up yet.

You'd need to join the community though.

[chibi_sunny]

oooo very nice setlist!!! It's pretty much a combination and a good balance of their best songs plus new tracks on LIVE~~~

*hopes the new Koyashige song isn't like the other two they had performed so far* >.>

[dreamland2.0]

Lovely setlist!!!!

[Utena]

Mmmh finally listened to the album, but I didn't really enjoy it that much compared to Color and pacific.
It was a pain to listen the first part till 秋の空 came one. that's a nice song. The following song is also quite nice. Dancin' in the Secret is the highlight of this album so far.
D.T.F is weird. Their singing on 内容の無い手紙 is so damn weird or is it just me? Too bad coz it sounded quite nice... o/

エンドレス・サマー was still ok, Share is still really pretty! And the uplugged version for Forever sounds much better than the studio version, definitly.

That said, I'm not as much into NEWS as I was before so I don't really know.
I still think they should have added a second disc with some solos/duets/trios like they used to do.

first week sales of LIVE: 156k
