1. Jidai *the rap, the music, and the dance are ROCK
2. Pikanchi *the rap, the music, and the dance are ROCK =>oh yeah, I AM a rock lover XD
3. Kaze no Muko E *it never fails to boost my mood just like Troublemaker, you won’t see the title here, though XD
4. Step And Go *love the performance in AAA 2008, so I hope they’ll do it again on ARAFES :D
5. Aozora Pedal *sad yet beautiful, I often shudder and cry when listening to this song, and I haven’t properly watched the movie until now, gomen ne Sho-chan >,<
6. Hero *Anata no yume wa, Minna no yume sa, Nagashita namida, Koete koko ni tatsu, Ima koso kimi wa, Hontou no Hero, Sono manazashi ga, Sekai ni yuuki ataeru.. Hero~ You're Hero~
7. A.RA.SHI *It’s like a national anthem already, so why not? Arashi~ Arashi~ For Dream~
8. Pikanchi Double *it’s a good song and I really love the ending part <3
9. We can make it *I think I just see it performed once in a concert, so I’d love to see it again, with the dance <3
10. Calling *it’s one of their best singles I think and it’s been performed only once, right? actually I wanted to choose Endless Game and Breathless too, but there’ll be tour in fall, so I think I’ll still have a chance to see it again ^^

COUPLING SONG:

1. Itsumademo *the music is happy, but the lyrics are sad “The truth I couldn't tell you and now it's already good-bye...” TTOTT
2. Boom Boom *I really love the rap and the music is cool, so I want to see they dance in the performance :D
3. Kimi ga iru kara *super cute song.love.love.love <3
4. Full of Love *an ear candy, sweet and full of love <3
5. Boku ga boku no subete *the lyrics are great <3
6. Super Fresh *Love this song so much, so I want to see them performing this song again XD
7. How Can I love *a deep and touching ballad song >,<
8. Yurase, Ima wo *just like ROCK YOU, I really love this song, one of my mood booster <3
9. Over *instantly fell in love at first hearing, love aiba, jun and riidaa’s voice in it <3
10. Ichioku no Hoshi *a romantic song, though at first, it’s not in the top 10 of my list, but when I was voting the coupling the song was playing on my headphone and I ended voting it XD

ALBUM SONG:

1. My Answer *I love the song and the performance, too <3
2. LIFE *a deep song >,<
3. Palette *I love this song after watching it in How’s It Going con, actually I wanted to choose Blue too as Sho played piano in it, but it’s out in the elimination process  >,<
4. ROCK YOU *has been in my playlist since the first time I heard it <3
5. 5x10 *so deep meaningful, beautiful and heartwarming period <3
6. COOL&SOUL *COOL&HOT >////<
7. Yes? No? *YES! XD
8. Kaze *light with lovely lyrics ^^
9. Up to you *love the song and the dance <3
10. Welcome to Our Party *super fun song, will definitely enliven the atmosphere XD

MEMBER SOLO:

1. Hello Goodbye *it’s the first solo of him that became my favorite when I was new to fandom, and when he played the harmonica I love it <3
2. W/Me *my choices were Yabai3x and W/Me, I was so confused, more than the choices for Sho and Nino’s solos. But, just like Shake It! I think it’ll be great if the boys dance in it XDDD
3. Niji *I want to choose Kako/Konseki, but it’s not in the album >,< then I want Himitsu cos maybe we can see Arashi doing the cute dance XD then I was confused between Niji and Doko ni demo aru uta, cos they’re my favorites among my favorites of Nino’s solo and I just love seeing a man singing while playing instrument, and in the middle of my confusion I watched 2007 & 2008 cons *that’s why my votes are mostly the songs that exist in those year* I was reminded of my wish to hear this song in my wedding XD
4. Song For Me *my 1st favorite song of Riidaa, although I was tempted to Hung Up On, both are amazing  >,<
5. Yume de ii kara *if only I could choose Yume de ii kara, Hip Pop Boogie, and Can’t let you go, I’d do it. In the end, Yume won, as I really want to see Sho performed this song since I watched ONE dvd last year, it’s romantic and maybe the five of them will do the dance  >///<

OTHERS:

1. Oretachi no Song *of course, it’s my ichibans’ theme song after all <333
2. TOP SECRET *of course it’s because of the dance (?) it’ll be awesome if the 5 of them dance in it, ne~ XDDD
3. La tormenta 2004 *it’s a must-sing, but I couldn’t find it on the vote list ^^a
4. DJxMJ *are you ready?? Yaaay~ XDDD

After days of reading others' votes, listening mp3s, watching concerts, also thinking and imagining things, you can see the result obtained as above,

The most difficult for me was the couplings, I often changed my mind, even when I was doing the vote. and then for the album category I inevitably had to leave Mada Minu Sekai e and 15th Moon  >,<

well, just like everyone else, I really hope they will perform some, if not many, of my choices above on the ARAFES stage :D
