I want somebody~

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I first heard it playing for like, five seconds at the start of a fanvid and I actually thought it was really cool sounding~ I listened to the full version afterwards and totally fell in love with it It's kind of just got a cool vibe. Like WE'RE ARASHI WE'RE COOL AND WE KNOW IT sort of thing. Cool~

2) What's your current impression of the song?
It's one of those songs I tend to skip over... so it took me a while to get the real meaning. I totally love it though. 100%

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
I love when they burst into the chorus 'I WANT SOMEBODY, tsutaetai kimi no mirai chizu no naka'. It's just very BOOM KAPOW! And awesome. I also love the START ahggh it's all "we're sneaky and Arashi oooo"

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change? Nada, baby

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
My friend and I had the chorus of this in our heads for like, over an hour but we couldn't listen to it because we forgot the name of the song.
I am completely serious we are FAILURES.

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I thought I was listening to a Michael Jackson song. I first heard it when my friend burned me a CD of songs i should listen to and she wrote "MJ" in marker on it, so i thought Michael Jackson.
Turns out it was a whole CD of Jun's solo's and songs where he had the main vocals and the "MJ" stood for Matsujun
But, i thought it was angry? at first. I didn't know the translations yet, so I thought they were basically saying they wanted someone who wouldn't hurt them after being hurt so many times before.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
now that i know what their actually saying in the song, i think it's sad.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Umareta koiki kaze ni toutteku
Konya ni ga sanu you ni kimi no hitomi yakitsuketa
Kowareta tokei no hari ga unmei no senaka wo keru

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
NONE

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
Like I said before, I thought this was a Michael Jackson song, and a few of my other friends were listening to it with me after i heard it (none of them know about Arashi...or any other asian singers for that matter) the minute you hear Jun say, "I'm walking round in circles", all 4 of them asked, "Since when does Michael Jackson sing in Japanese?!"

It's September! Time for a new song, aight? Okay, since everyone is in a Maou high and this series is ending soon so why not discuss the song? What do you guys think of the

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.) One of the songs I liked instantly. I just discovered my likeness for dark roles so since this song is patterned after a dark drama, i liked the darkness feel of the beat of this song, something you don't hear of Arashi all the time.
2) What's your current impression of the song? It's like a song of angst?
3) What is your favorite line (or lines)? I like the chorus part:
Kanashimi
Tatoe donna owari wo egaitemo
Kokoro wa nazomeite
Sore wa maru de yami no you ni
Semaru shinjitsu

Tatoe donna sekai wo egaitemo
Ashita wa mienakute
Sore wa maru de kimi no you ni kegare wo shiranai
Sekai wa toumei na mama de

Scary? haha.. but I love the "dark" feel in it.. (yeah, I'm watching too much Maou)

I really love the instrumental part.. the violins, the piano, their hotness on the PV.. it was awesome! It also suits the drama very well which makes it perfect.. Truth is my favorite arashi song ever!

i this song! the PV is amazing. OHNO is the best actor that i know!

--> its dark... and a really cool song.

--> oh nothing random. i just get goosebumps when i hear it playing all of a sudden. lol xD

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)

I really loved it the first time I heard it (although the start where Arashi isn't singing yet was annoying at first). Lyrics was so cool BUT the best part of Truth has got to be the dance. OHNO IS SO HOT when he dances here

2) What's your current impression of the song?
Most different song they have. Its a really "heavy" song but still great

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Probably the start, ohno's singing part (you take my life, etc.)

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
----- None really

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
I'm so proud of Riida in this song. Heheheh!

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.) it instantly became a hit to me becuase it is just right for MAOU. There is a feeling of suspense with this song which fits perfectly for MAOU. It's diffrent from the typical ARASHI songs.
2) What's your current impression of the song? fast beat, and the suspense feeling in a movie.. and will always link it with MAOU and Riida.
3) What is your favorite line (or lines)? I like it as a whole but it's interesting to sing along where they do 2nd voice...
Tomaranai toki ni hisomu　Ai wa kitto furisosogu ame no youni
(Koboreochita namida no ato　Kogoe souna namida no iro)
Modorenai kioku meguru　Subete ubawareta kono yo no hate ni
(Koboreochita namida no ato　Kogoe souna namida no iro)
----and of course the KANASHIMI part
4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change? none. it's perfectly fine.
5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell. Everytime i hear TRUTH, I always link it with MAOU, then their PV plays on my mind, then Riida. Also, what comes to my mind are the colors black and red.

What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
when i first heard it, it felt like i've been listening to this song forever. i think the first time i really listened to it was when the drama first aired, so I thought it was a fitting song for maou. i really liked it a lot.

What's your current impression of the song?
it's not regular arashi fanfare, so i like it. that's not to say i don't like their happy songs, it's just that something different once a while would be good. it's probably one of my favorite arashi songs at the moment.

What is your favorite line (or lines)?
haha, (almost) everyone's favorite part?
Kanashimi~…

What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
it's already perfect the way it is, so i would not change anything.

A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
just that whenever i hear this song, i always think it's an ohno song and that the other people singing are his backup singers. haha, it's kind of rude to the other members, but there you go.

Ahh, I love this topic and always post in it, haha. I hope no one gets tired of me!

What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I thought it was freaking awesome. It's so different from Arashi's normal pop-ish songs and I love it.

What's your current impression of the song?
Still loving it but I'm pretty tired of it after watching Maou cause I can't take that drama seriously.

What is your favorite line (or lines)?
I like Ohno's solo before the "Kanashimi~" line.

What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
I'd take out MatsuJun's lines cause I can't stand his nasal-ness among everyone else's awesome voices, haha. Sorry Matsu-lovers! I don't hate him, really.

A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
I love the orchestra in the PV and the part where Ohno's hand goes down, down, dooooown... But their dance is way too gay.

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I really loved it the first time I heard the song. :D I thought it was amazing.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
I still listen to it constantly.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
The whole chorus.

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
I wouldn't want to change a thing about the song.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
When I saw the PV and their performance of this in Utaban, I was speechless. Their choreography was...XD

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I was sort of surprised when I saw and listened to the PV for this, I mean, it has sort of a darker aura than their other songs. It was sort of scary.
But.. the dancing is SO awesome!!! Especially OHNO!!
After about a minute into the PV I just think they look older somehow. Ohno looked somehow more his age (no offense to this. Somehow Riida looks so much younger before his hair is black. But I like him better this way )

2) What's your current impression of the song?
Dark, (somehow) sad, suspenseful, upbeat (I sometimes unconsciously tap my fingers on the table to the beat or singing to it while hearing this, my family thinks I've gone mad )

Oops, sorry. It's October already?? Didn't realize. Gomen ne.
3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Probably the chorus.. but ESPECIALLY the part when Ohno sings.

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
None. I think the song is good the way it is.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
When I watched the PV, it was the first time I saw Riida with his hair dyed black. It was really a surprise for me. I thought Riida looked so good like that (and his dancing is way awesome) and so, every time I listen to this song Riida's face pops into my mind.. then his dancing folows.. and then the rest of the PV.. and then the color black..

i love this thread!^_^ i try to post everytime too~

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
i was surprised! it was darker compared to their other songs. i liked it alot.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
i love it. i'm trying to learn it~

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
"i take your life forever. you take my life"
i thought that was a really awesome line!

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
nothing. it's fine the way it is.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
at first i couldn't stop looking at aiba's pants because everyone else was wearing black and he was wearing red.^_^
i loved their dancing in the video too. there was one move they did at the end where they shuffled or something and it looked so awesome!^_^
i really like this song. maybe they should do some more dark stuff like this. this is an awesome song~^_^

TRUTH

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
the beats and the violins were really great. it created this dark, suspenseful feeling. i got hooked with the song from the first strains. this is the first time arashi did this style of song and i was impressed that they carried the song really well! ^_^

2) What's your current impression of the song?
i love the song and it's often on repeat in my music player

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Yurari yureru hikari hitotsu　Itami iyasu koto naku kieru
I take your life forever, you take my life forever
Hirari ochiru namida hitotsu　Omoi todoku koto naku kieru
I take your life forever, you take my life

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
none at all

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
i set the song as my handphone's message tone. i was up alone, reading a book on my bed at around 1am and when it suddenly started playing. it scared me silly. it sounded kind of scary at night -_-;;
