I had to sleep early yesterday, so I was not able to update before going to sleep. When, I woke up, I was in a hurry and as we have already established (mostly-- through my twitter), writing anything about Arashi takes me a lot of time. See I usually compose my thoughts and plan ahead, but, I have a tendency to change the plan midway and start being random. Especially about Arashi.
There's no stopping dekya from talking about Arashi, you know? Oh ... you do? Good. Knowing is half the battle. XD
Originally, I was just going to discuss Koe. Yet, again, I changed my mind. I realized, there's no point in discussing Koe, when it's an "i love you, goodbye" love song. I've dwelled on that kind of life for so long, that I failed to recognize how pathetic that was. I feel lighter now.
Believing is Everthing. See! I'm being random again!
On to the list of my favorite quotes from Non-Single Song
day 07 - Quote from a Non-Single Song (Album and B-side only)
I've decided to write my top ten. Yesterday's countdown, was fun. wasn't it?
#10 CARNIVAL NIGHT PART 2
Kirei na hito wa ikura mo iru kedo kimi janai no sa
Kawaii hito wa ikura mo miru kedo kimi janai no sa
(There are tons of beautiful girls here but they're not you
I see tons of cute girls here but they're not you)
- Because I wished so much they were telling me this. And, because I'm still looking for Carnival Night Part 1 XD
#09 SMILE
souzou wo koete sekai ga hirogatte yuku
(Exceeding your imagination, the world is unfolding.)
- Because I had once thought I'll be living off of my imagination. I still feel like I could.
#08 DIVE INTO THE FUTURE
hontou wa shitteta Answer (dare demo sou sa)
mou zettai akirame yashinai
(Instinct knows the answer [It's the same for anyone].
I've already decided, I'll never give up.)

#07 MOVIN' ON
Sou, doko made mo maiagaru nara takaku
Shinjitenara sono saki mada maniau kara
(That's right, if you're going to soar anywhere, go higher
If you believe, then you can still make it to the other side in time)
- Because I'm a dreamer trying to fly high. And because I also need to learn to move on.
#06 SNOWFLAKE
tsunaida te ga atatameteita yume
zutto egaki kage no mama hitori
(My hands are grasping the warm dream.
Forever, I'm constantly painting alone.)

#05 SUPER FRESH

#04 FIGHT SONG
hito wa hito jibun wa jibun
kurabeta jiten de maketeru
(People are people, you are who you are.
When you compare yourself, you will be defeated.)

#03 FURUSATO
Wasurerarenai uta ga soko ni aru Te to te wo tsunaide kuchizusamu
Yama mo kaze mo umi no iro mo
Koko wa furusato

(This is a Little Song, a Tiny Song. Now, this hands will fly higher and higher.
I hope that my gentle voice that believes in friends will reach you far far away.)
- Because it has.
#01 COOL & SOUL
gonin de kanaderu no wa HIP HOP
ja naku maneshi gatai you na HIP na POP right?
soshite makuake dainishou
nisete miyou nara sore wa dai nigou
sou mikaitakuchi igai ni mo
mikan no taiki wo saikidou (hi-ho!)
(The five of us are playing hiphop
Or rather, a sort of imitation
of hard hiphop, right?
And the curtain rises, it’s the second act
If you want to see an imitation,
that’s in the second line
Yes, even in our undeveloped areas,
Our incomplete talents are restarted [hi-ho!])
- Because, in this song, they were unapologetic about their shortcomings as idols. And that what makes them real.
Day 8 - blonde crush -- Jensen Ackles for boys, Leelee Sobiesky for girls. Yes, I swing both ways. And yes, Leelee Sobiesky fits my type.
NOTE: I did not put in the Kanji versions of the lyrics coz I suck at it and Chrome only shows squares anyways. Romanji of lyrics and its English Translations taken from arashilyrics.com, sweet-rain.net, yarukizero, and arrowofpain.
