[ARASHI] There's only Happiness in our Beautiful World; the 31st thread ♥

[dreamland2.0]

Too many singles. Adding To be free seems like a cop out to me. Well hopefully it will be good.

[Lady~Deviance]

Wow, so far I'm loving "Mada Minu Sekai e" and I'm quite surprised that they are trekking down the techno path. I hope they can pull it off.

I cannot wait until their new album drops.

[KarenPang]

I noticed that for both Beautiful World & Boku no Miteiru Fukei , the singles included in each album , all of them doesn't include Sakurap but the album tracks themselves have

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing but hopefully after Beautiful World is released , there will be finally a new single that has Sakurap

hard to believe the last single that has a Sakurap is Believe which was released 2 years ago ._.

[Beauty4123]

speaking of a single, i wonder when their next single will be...november? i have a feeling we won't be getting 3 singles in a row this time. but i also hope a sakurap can be included! at least arashi are making up for the lack of sakurap-singles by giving us sakurap-album tracks!

[dreamland2.0]

I found such a cute drawing of Arashi

I've heard they're teaming up with JAL, again...?

Tōku made (last track in Beautiful World) is used as the background song

Mada Minu Sekai e PV (the clip & making offshot footages are only included in the ARASHI 10-11 TOUR "Scene" ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei~ DOME + DVD)



doesn't seem that the sound & PV is in synch :O but that's 1 hella of a PV

The PV almost feels like the updated version of their debut single A･RA･SHI . I had serious cases of dejavu when it was switched into the box scene where they wore black :O

But Aiba's hair = *_____________________________*

[Beauty4123]

it really DOES resemble the A.RA.SHI PV! but omg they all look 10 years younger! seriously! this PV is PERFECTION. it beats out all of arashi's PVs from 2010 just by watching the first minute of it! i even love the song more now (if that's even possible ) just by this PV. it's AMAAAAZING!

i loved aiba's hair, too! and ohno's. and nino's. and matsujun's. and sho (he looks SO young, omg. besides for matsujun obviously looking young, sho is looking extremely young! it must be the hair.) i so was not expecting this PV to come out already! but i'm so happy it did. funny how i was listening to BnMF this morning and poof! this comes out. so freaking happy! i love you, arashi!

"Toku made" is also very nice so far! i think this is gonna be so much better than BnMF. don't let me down!

[KarenPang]

the ARASHI 10-11 TOUR "Scene" ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei~ DOME + DVD will be released this coming Wed so it shouldn't surprise you that ARASHI's stuff can leak out on the net real fast

I just hope there will be a download link provided for Mada Minu Sekai e's PV & let alone the making offshot clip for it soon

[Beauty4123]

i think the DVD will leak out early this week. it shouldn't be too long from now! i could never picture how the "Mada Ue Wo" performance would be like, so i'd love to see it soon!

[Beauty4123]

here's some footage of the DOME tour:

[ll moments ll]

LOL. what a trippy PV. it does remind me of A.RA.SHI too! they look so young.

i can't wait for the album.

[Midori-chan]

I hate the new song and personally I also don't understand why people make so much fuss about the PV.
It's really nothing special and you can't go wrong with letting Arashi dance in front of pretty backgrounds.
The PV has a lot of eye candy, but that's it. I don't know why some people say that it's one of their best PVs ever.

Sorry, my post is quite negative, but I'm just not feeling the new song and the PV.
I really, REALLY hope that the new songs on "Beautiful world" will not all be electropop mixed with auto-tuning.
If this happened, I would be really disappointed.

[KarenPang]

Personally , I like Mada Minu Sekai e song wise but in terms of the PV , it's not their best to date

I barely can see everyone's faces in the PV . It's those PVs that're shot faraway & all the images shown in the video are somewhat ... diluted ?

Maybe that explained why this PV's not included in Beautiful World :O but at least it's more colourful/entertaining than Dear Snow

Dear Snow's PV is a snoozefeast to me :3 , there's barely anything happening in the PV for that D:

[Midori-chan]

"Dear snow" is a boring song with a boring PV.
I mean, come on, when you name a song "Dear snow" and make a video for it, the viewers expect at least a tiny bit of snow in it, right?!
Well, I did at least...

"Mada minu sekai e" is a song that's very different from their other songs and I guess that's the reason why a lot of people like it. I tried to, but I just hate this electropop sound and the auto-tuning!

The PV feels impersonal to me.
In the colourful part their faces are distorted, because of the glaring lights and in the black/white part, they're too far away to be really seen.
Their dancing is great, but that's not really anything new.


On lj somebody has already uploaded a preview of Riida's solo "Hang up on" and there is a part where Sho is rapping.
I don't like it. I mean, it's Riida's solo, so why put another voice in it?

I really wonder how the new album will be like?
I hope, not as worse as I expected it to be right now!

[Beauty4123]

i'm so happy sho's gonna rap in ohno's solo! i could never get tired of sakurap.

[dreamland2.0]

Well Arashi has always tried different styles. Their albums have never really sounded the same as the previous one. They're just trying to stay fresh. Ayu does this too. If you don't like this particular style you may have to wait until the next album to find something you like.

Let's just hope the rap is not auto-tuned...again!


@dreamland: To me Arashi's songs all kinda sound the same (like pop music; save for some of their solos maybe). Maybe I'm wrong, because I haven't been a fan for too long and I also don't know all of their songs, but "Mada mune sekai e" is really out of line.
I can't think of any other Arashi song that has such strong electrobeats and auto-tuning (did they ever do auto-tuning before the "Lotus"-single?).

And I'm not going to judge the album before I heard, but I feel kinda pessimistic right now, because I was so disappointed with the new song/PV and I also feel that a solo should stay a solo and not become a duet.


Sorry, but that's my point of view.

[KarenPang]

I listened to ARASHI from their 4th album Iza , Now til now but yes compared the style they had then & now , it's very different

Their older works were much more heavier in rock and R&B which I really like a lot . Autotune was barely there but somehow or another , the style they were doing , it wasn't selling well & let alone they weren't really top dog

much as I hate to say this but even though I miss their older works/styles , along the way when they changed their music direction , their popularity begin to pick up alongside with other externalities such as being in dramas , hosting their own shows & etc

but like what dreamland2.0 put , if you don't like what they have to offer now , maybe in their next single/album you might ?
