Sense or Love
Hiya~
I can't believe my last post was like a year ago. Well, now I'm here again! I'm sure you know what is it gonna be about.
Yep, it's SENSE OR LOVE EVERYONEE!!
I know I'm late because this album was released in August this year, and now it's already October. But, oh well, it ain't hurt to still talk about it right :P
Okay, let's start with the cover of the album.
I AM TOTALLY LOVING THISS ❤❤
I know there is also another cover with JUMP members on it but honestly, I'm loving this one more. I love the other covers but this just looks mesmerizing to me. I can't take my eyes off it. The colors and the font they're using for 'SENSE or LOVE', are just lovely and artsy. Well, I'm not familiar with designs and such but just one word from me, ALLURING.
Next, I would say this album is special because it contains SOLO SONGS BY THE MEMBERSSSS!!
OMG
This is literally a dream comes true.
I'm sure everyone has been dying to wait for JUMP to release solo songs and finally we have it, guys! Unfortunately, there is no Keito's solo song :( Yeah, we all know about his decision to continue pursuing his studies and since that's what he wants, we all need to be supportive and keep rooting for him no matter what. I believe he would return as someone greater and his relationship with JUMP would be much stronger :')
Okay back to the album, as I've done before, I'll be discussing my TOP 5 SONGS in this album yaay! Solo songs won't be included in this list because each song is beautiful and I love them equally. Now, let's jump to the TOP 5 ~~
First is, Jealous Guy! omg even from the title, it explains everything. It’s about the feeling of jealousy and love in which wrapped in a jazzy(?) and pop way. The tune is seductive honestly. It starts softly and then moves to a more upbeat melody. Okay I’m not good at describing music to be honest but will try my best so please spare meee. I can’t even explain the feeling that I got when I listen to it for the first time. It just got me like hmm it’s a good start for me to put it on repeat, literally. Another point that amazed me is DAIIKI’S RAPPPPP. It’s lit. Way too overwhelming for my ears like omg daiki you did welllll, boy! This song gives me, you know, a modern kind of song. Those popular types and played on the radio. Am I even making any sense lol
Next, BANGER BANGER BANGER NIGHT!!! This is addictive guys, I’m hooked on this song ever since the preview. That’s just how much I love it and the music video omg I’M LOVING IT EVEN MORE. It’s cool, great, idk what else to say LOL. The choreography is stunning, and they pulled it! I love the ending of the video where there’s a pause at the end of the song and they just vanished. Smart. The lyrics? Amazing. I honestly didn’t expect what would the song actually be about. I mean, the song is upbeat with remarkable dance moves, so I’m not so sure about the lyrics. But, when I found out about the meaning, I LOVE IT EVEN MORE. I interpret the song as a song that’s challenging themselves to make a change and impact. It speaks about life, the era now, and how we should have the courage within us. Forgive me if I’m mistaken lol that’s just how I see it. After listening to this song like twice or thrice, I straightaway got the idea to make fanfiction about them, which I did. I uploaded the story on my wattpad HEHE okay enough for that, let’s move on!
Number three, everyone! FLASH is also another upbeat song. What makes it different is I’m getting this anisong kind of feeling and I can picture JUMP performing this song in the concert with the JUMP Band. It would be epic, and I’d love to see it please, JUMP :( I couldn’t find any translation for this one so I’m dying to know what is it truly about but it doesn’t prevent me from getting obsessed with this. It sounds a lot like a fighting song, as in a song about fighting or overcoming whatever they face in life I guess? Because it feels a lot like the type of song that would be so encouraging. Seems like I don’t have a lot to write for this, but I still enjoy this as much as the rest!
The fourth one is none other than, Mata Kono Basho is a mellow kind of song. What I love the most is how well the instruments and JUMP members’ harmonization combine together. Everything is just exquisite and ear-pleasing. It starts off with Yama’s deep yet soft and peaceful voice and continued with YabuHika which just went immensely well. The chorus is especially touching, and it calms me to the point that this song is my lullaby whenever I can’t sleep ww. Correct me if I’m wrong but after seeing the translation and the title itself, this song talks about separation and wanting to meet again no matter what happens. I’m too speechless as to what I want to say about this song because it’s just beautiful asdfgjksd. Listen to it then you will know what I mean :’) Listening to it brings back a lot of nostalgic moments in my life and makes me feel soft and just want to curl up on my bed and listen to this until I fall asleep.
Now, is the time for OLE! It’s number five on my list BUT! This is one of those songs that I won’t get tired to listen for soooooo many times. I love the opening and how the vibes of the song are upbeat and JUMP-ish to me. Actually, the first time I listened to it, I feel like this is some kind of song for sports celebration or something HAHAH. Then I decided to look for the translation and wow, the lyrics are just beautiful and meaningful. This is why I love JUMP :’’’’) The lyrics are so supportive and share kind of the same vibe as NYC’s Haina (in my opinion). I feel extremely attached to the chorus and when I got the meaning, I can feel goosebumps all over me. I mean, Keito and him not being in this album, and this song argh I just feel so emotional now listening to this song. Really it is simply beautiful! Whenever I feel down and want to give up, I’ll listen to this straight away. My favorite line of the lyrics is this: “ Don’t ever forget about your passion and then, just take your aim and shine, Follow your dream ”.
Okay, that's all my TOP 5 SONGS of Sense or Love! I'll be doing a similar thing in the future so please bear with me :) If you're reading this, thank you very much ❤ Feel free to leave a comment!
See ya!
