omffggggg how did the album get leaked already, you guys!??
But -- I'M NOT COMPLAINING 8DDD
At the same time, they picked a really inopportune time for the album to get leaked
Today TJ and I planned a small date for our 6 year anniversary. We did a picnic and then went to check out the horse races at the local race track. We made these cold sandwiches that were really quite good with lots of basil and garlic and olive oil and baguettes and tomatoes and just yummm
We also made a pasta salad and we bought a potato salad because that was getting to be a lot of food makingz. So we headed off to the park, and found a really nice little gazebo and it was really pleasant until a giant Hindi family decided that they were going to have a family photo shoot there with an obnoxiously loud camera lady. She kept yelling like, "Look at the camera! NO THE CAMERA!! SMILE GRANDMA!! SMILE! WHY AREN'T YOU SMILING--NO, DON'T LOOK AT HER MARIE, LOOK AT THE CAMERA"
I probably wouldn't have minded if she wasn't so damn loud and just kept making noises and shit.
Well anyway, after that we went over to the races and we got there in time to see 3 races. We bet on 5 different horses, and only won one of them..
; The last race, and we won $2.20 which essentially means that we lost $7.80
hurrr lol but it was an interesting experience at least, and next week they're racing ostriches and camels... I think we're gonna try to get over there and see it because they've been having free admission this season
OKAY SO TO TALK ABOUT THE ALBUM.
I LOVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TRACK EVEN THOUGH MATSUJUN'S VOICE IS AUTO-TUNED AND I THINK MADA UE WO IS LIKE GOING TO BE ON REPEAT FOREVERRRRR
As for the SOLOs, I love Nino's, Sho's, and Jun's, and I've only listened to Aiba's once but it's not what I was expecting sadly
I'm going to give it some more listens before I make any judgment... BUT I will say that Ohno's solo seriously sounds like every single other solo he's done and... I am just not impressed
BUT OTHER THAN THAT HOLY CRAP THIS IS A GREEEEEAAATTTT ALBUM
So many of their songs remind me of their old songs -- the ones that were like all 60's-70's inspired. And I keep imagining them in CONCERT FORMAT which is like the COOLEST thing ever and it is making me even more excited and nervous about the ballot results
In other news, I saw these posted up on AnJ and so I wanted to translate them
I've been wanting to translate a magazine article lately but I think these j-webs are a good quick length that I can get my translation itches out into. So, without further ado here we go!

Boku no Miteiru Fuukei - Sho's Message:
Hello.
It's summer.
It's Sakurai.
Finally, Arashi's new original album in 2 years has dropped.
There are a LOT of new songs from this.
Cool songs, warm songs, songs to get pumped to... etc.
I'd be happiest if you find one song to your liking.
Personally...
I wrote a few rap lyrics.
And then, there was something that I realized at age 28.
Me.
I live my life like the type of person who does all their summer homework at the last minute.
If there's no deadline, I don't do anything.
If I'm not in a hurry, my writing doesn't progress.
All you little ones out there.
Whatever you do, please don't turn into an adult like me.
Well...
Even so, there were 3 or 4 times where we kept re-recording, so we've got a finished piece that we're satisfied with so please look forward to it.
It's 20 songs in all.
Thank you very much!

Too late, Sho. As I was translating this all I could think was "HOLY CRAP YOU AND I ARE TOO SIMILAR."

It's me, Matsumoto Jun, who plays Taiga
Are you watching the drama "Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku"?
Thank you
Next up is the 3rd episode.
It feels like it's breaking into a full-fledged love story
I hope that you can be excited for it
Gimme a kyun kyun
(Kyun is like the feeling of your chest tightening during romantic movies and such. It was so much cuter as "kyun" so I decided to keep it)
This week the concert rehearsals have started
I keep feeling like I can't believe it's already started~
Summer is always different...
If we were going with the usual, it's usually comprised of not really feeling summer-y, and going back and forth between the rehearsal room and my house, but...
This year I'm shooting for the drama, so I'm breathing fresh air, and feeling summer.
The choreography and business meetings we haven't had in a while have become pretty deep
We're dancing this year too~
Look forward to it
Next week, the album is coming out so listen to it and guess what you think it'll be like
Different than any other year, I want to sparkle rainbow color from a deep love
Or something like that
Well then, everyone else please look forward to summer too~
