ok, after listening to the album about 100 times or so...
my favourite song is: the most pervy one (I think even more than Sho-kuns solo...) マダ上ヲ
I'm so in love with the arrangement: the intrumentality - I mean the way they used the instruments >.< - is great, reminds me of oriental beats mixed with the greatness of gypsy-music
the way the voices get distorted, how they made to sing and also Sho's rap (which is the pervy-pianist-part in my fantasy...)
and the lyrics, I didn't anticipated THAT kind of lyrics, I did understand parts before, but the whole thing is slightly disturbing my brain function since I know the whole meaning of it...*sweat*
[thanks to denise_dinc
(denise-dinc.livejournal.com/260336.html) (I don't know how to do it right...), her translations are very good, and I think she grabbed the right tune...]
I really would like to read Minami's as well...(to compare ^-^ since she's my favourite translater)
EDIT: she did a great!! work! thank you minami-chan ^O^
my second one is: サーカス
as for the first: I love the arrangements, for both songs it doesn't sound Arashi-typically...the lyrics are soso, but nice, nothing to get a headache or overheating...but a nice one for karaoke (if there would be somebody who would go together with me and if there where a place - here in Berlin where they have arashi, since the only one who had it is closed down!!! T_T
my third is refrain I guess, because I LOVE Aiba's voice in this song...and it's ear catching
then movin' on - it got me the first time I heard it
and yes I like the whole album, sora takaku is like movin' on and kagero too
mukae ni iku yo is also a song I really really like! the instrumentality and voices are nice - it's kind of typical Arashi-sound and I love this sound *smile* and the lyrics are just wonderful!
summer splash - sounds like they had so much fun recording it - Ohno said they did it together ...
for the solos, I won't compare them to the others...in regards of arrangement and lyrics, it's a without fail a Nino win with Ohno next to him
but in regards of fun, catching, disturbing and heat: Sho-kun...the pervy-master
Jun is funny and Aiba (?!) - italo-franco-eurodance-pop-thingy...but I think good live songs...looking forward to live-cams!!
What about you ladies?!?!
