Picwar 19: Being the result of way too much caffeine.
PicWar!!!
*flails*
I’ve missed the picwars! But they’re back! Picwars of the Past , conveniently centralized in one garish and eye-smarting collection by Locky.
Locky’s last attack:
When I saw this, all I could think of was “OMG! Gay Matador Firefighting Clowns! So many options for retaliation!! \(^_^)/”
. . . and I ignored all of them, in favor of something less obvious. See those red vinyl patches on the legs?
Easy Crazy Breakdown/ Koi wa Breakin’ from How’s It Going Concert:
Idols in Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!
I . . . don’t really know what to say about these costumes, other than that they look like some of the most uncomfortable costumes to dance in in the history of . . . history. Even the clear plastic suits . . . and looked like airflow might happen between the pieces of the costume . . . but this costume . . . not so much here.
OK: Details!
It’s shiny . . . But not sparkly. More like . . . spacesuit shiny, rather than rainbow sparkly.
And when I say “spacesuit” I mean “Lost in Space”-style spacesuit. you know, that low budget 1970s idea of the shiny tacky future, where everything is made of plastic and metal? That.
Excuse me, I meant Lost in Space robot spacesuit.
Ok, maybe it’s a little shiny . . . in a metallic kind of way . . .
And because even in the very gay future, hapless space travelers have to get their exercise in, these outfits come with track-suit styling.
I think it’s kind of awesome that this shirt comes with some sort of pocket styling. What the hell is Sho going to put in a pocket during a concert?
Other details include gold foil poofy elbow pads:
Shoulderpads:
Sparkly gold wrist and waistband detailing,
Extraneous buckle detail.
Faux side-arm holsters. No, seriously. Tell me it doesn’t look like Aiba’s supposted to put rayguns there . . .
Though he’ll have to wait until the Time concert before that actually happens.
Knee pads. Knee pads.
and . . . butt-padding? Maybe to protect Ohno from overzealous ass-groping? Strangely plausible . . . but probably inadequate to the task.
Knee pads, buttpads . . . ummm . . . completely unrelated, I'm sure.

*scrubs brain*
A-and now for a randomly amusing pose.
You know that there’s a serious design flaw when an Arashi concert makes Ohno look like he has a potbelly. Fail, costume designers, fail.
A-and more general costume fail:
I love that Aiba’s hair is the only organic-looking thing in this performance.
It’s like he has the superpower of Sentient Fluffy Hair of Doooooooooooom!
Sho is rightfully taken aback.
Nino and Jun are no fools-It’s several minutes into the performance before they finally show up. But when they do, they do it in style. Purple style. It might actually be worse than the yellow.
Where the hell have you been??
Someone is so dead after this concert.
Seriously. That is not a happy face.
Asldjkfalskjdflajf plastic hoodie. You know, in case it rains in the venue ^^" wtf, costume designers?
I kind of love how the random rainbow color-blocking on Nino makes him look like he’s wearing rainbow briefs over his outfit.
Nino also rocks the asymmetrical sleeves. Frequently, I am astounded by the sheer attention to detail and work expended to make something so . . . tacky and kind of cheap looking.
I kind of want to tell Nino that it is humanly impossible to look cool in this outfit. Because he clearly missed the memo.
Ok . . . so you know that robot thing I was talking about? Seems the choreographer picked up on it, too. Enter several minutes of robot dancing with a drum machine and lighting designed to set off epileptic seizures.
I . . . actually kind of love this performance ^^” You should check it out if you've never seen it. If you’re interested, here’s the mp3 I ripped off the dvd. And you can find the mp3s I made for the entire concert (How’s It Going) here if you like.
Oh! I just wanted to share the most awesome thing I've seen or heard about this week, excepting Superhero!Arashi:
I am so buying this when it comes out . . . And it has nothing to do with boybands at all *__*
And I wasn't joking about the caffeine. Someone (and you know who you are) gave me caffeine- and sugar-coated caffeine. It is not pretty. But it is delicious&hearts Thank you ^_^
