10 days to go before Playzone '13 first show and the release of its original soundtrack on the same day so it was high time to finally reveal the cover and the tracklist!
This year's Playzone is introduced
here as a "historical show full of charm for which songs Johnny's are proud of from the 80's until now have been chosed". Reading that, I was expecting to have some famous Johnny's songs but I was definitely not expecting an album entirely composed of cover songs!

Songs marked with a red star are the ones I know.
Mmh. I'm not too sure what to think. I'm not disappointed but...Let's say very confused?
It's weird to know there won't be any original song...Also I'm quite surprised by some of the songs they picked like A.RA.SHI, HONEY BEAT or Zukkoke Otokomichi as much as I like the original songs.
Since most of the songs are pretty old, I hope they will be modernized and also I hope they will make good use of the stage sets such as the big 3D screen they had last year that was awesome. If not...Well at least, I'll see the boys 8D
On another note, we're June 23rd and there's still nothing about SUMMARY or whatever how is going to be called the show that will take place at the City Hall this summer. The venue is booked for almost 2 months at least, Fûma and Kento announced a few weeks ago there WILL be something there so I really wonder what they are waiting for.
Aah. This all reminds me of the confused feelings I have towards Johnny's lately. I love the boys themselves more and more but at the same time, I really hate how things are managed >.>
