I really wanted to do this rank thing since forever, but I was too lazy, and now that I have a lot of things to do, I suddenly felt like I wanted to do it, no, here it is.
I'm just new in this fandom (like I started to know them around October 2015, then I declared that I actually love them around November of the same year, so yeah) and the album that I can say that's closest to my heart is JUMPing C4R (probably because it's the album that's be recently released when I became a fan). In my most honest opinion, I can say that this album is the most jump like out of all the ones released (yes, including Dear.). I said this because whenever I hear a song from this album, it has this certain sound that sparks happiness in you, like I don’t even understand half of the meaning of the songs here, but there is this sudden rush of positive emotion, and you know that it’s coming from jump. It’s just my opinion, don’t kill me please hahahaha
Okay, now, for the ranking part, I did my list from my most favorite to my least favorite, excluding Fantasists and the Secret Track.
1. Weekender - this is my most most most most favorite song out of all the jump songs ever made hahaha. It’s the one song that blessed me the knowledge of jump and I will forever thank whoever decided to make this as Kindaichi Neo’s theme song(not to mention, it also showed me my most precious Kei-kun, that’s why my love for this song is never ending)
2. Chau# - blame me and my love for really cute songs.
3. SHen SHera SHen - Idk why, I’m so fond of this song so much
4. UNION - Kei-kun ain’t here, but I love how this song is full of energy and beat. I even memorized it in a day(especially dai-chan’s rap, it’s so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
5. JUMPing CAR
6. Farewell
7. Ai yo, Boku wo Michibiiteyuke - to be perfectly honest, when I first heard the opening melody of this song, I clicked the skip button at once. It sounded like one of those music from a k-drama that I don’t like. Then came the concert performance, and the subs provided by my community. THE LYRICS WAS SO GOOD, I CANNOT IGNORE THIS SONG ANYMORE. I don’t care if my most hated melody plays, as long I get to feel the in the message of the song, IT’S OKAY. ( “The one who warms up your cold and numb hands is not me, but the one who can illuminate my future in this world is only you”, OMG I JUST DIED WHEN I READ THIS, and to think that Kei-kun was the one who said that last line, my soul escaped my body for a few seconds. And come on, the chorus is just gold.)
8. Kira Kira Hikare
9. Boys Don’t Stop
10. Pet Shop Love Motion - too cute to ignore
11. Viva! 9’s SOUL
12. KoroSensations (Hey! Say! JUMP version)
13. Fever
14. DISCO JOCKEY
15. Dangerous
16. Walk
17. Very Very Happy
18. Puppy Boo
19. Yowamushi Shooter
20. 3/14 Tokei - I was never a fan of slow songs, that’s why this one is at the bottom of the list. I also skipped this one when I heard it play from my phone, but when I saw the concert performance, everything changed. When I saw how much passion was poured into performing this song, I actually felt like Yama-chan and Keito successfully conveyed their message to the fans. I love how the songs is just sweet and simple and so full of emotions. But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s one of my least favorites, it’s just that I really appreciate the efforts and feelings that’s given in this song.
21. Asu e no YELL - I have no idea why I dislike this song so much
Overall, I love this album so much! Some say it’s kinda random, others compare it to S3ART(I mean, the gap is really big and I cannot blame those people, but these two albums have different genres and I love them both for that), but for me, this is what jump is about.
*a very long overdue post
**I'll do my S3ART album review some other time. I'll also do my Dear. album review when my album actually comes(I've been waiting since forever uggggghhhhh)
