I always feel sleepy since a few days ago, and almost every minute I just yawn and yawn , not only at home, but also on campus and in my workplace *0*
I'm hoping to get the Beautiful World DVD right now ^_^ and then I got an idea to translate a news about the tracks into English here. This news was found in
jurnalberita.com in Indonesian language around July last year. It's old I know, but I just want to share it here *mostly for my own pleasure XD*
If you interested, douzo~
Popular group from Johnny's Jimusho, Arashi, returned with their 10th original album. Like the previous album which achieved strong sales of millions of copies, "Beautiful World" is also certain to be a hit. Satoshi Ohno taking the time to personally describe of each track on the new album of Arashi.
After the album "Boku no Miteiru Fukei" be the only album that sold millions of copies in the year 2010, Arashi is now back with new album "Beautiful World"! In addition to hit singles like Hatenai Sora, Lotus, Love Rainbow, and Dear Snow, this album also presents new songs - both performed by each personal or a group.
01. Rock this, "five of us rapping in this song! Actually this was the song that we recorded at the end. I'm really amazed at Sho-chan (Sho Sakurai). Rap lyrics that he wrote is amazing.Things like that do not merely written, but also there were many considerations, such as sound. Sho-chan's capability seemed increased. There were many staff praised him during the recordings. When I asked the staff, apparently Sho-chan wrote the lyrics very smoothly".
02. Mada Minu Sekai e, "The song is cool, right? There is rarely a song like this right? Since the intro is so great. PV of this song is included in the first press limited edition DVD of our concert, and we danced a lot in the PV" .
03. Love Rainbow, "It's one of our singles.The image is perfect for the show "Music Station" right? I was able to memorize the choreography towards the stage. Really worried about it.This song is also suitable for live performances. Usually when performing Jun often becomes the leader in the dance".
04. always, "It's a great song. Cool and cool. Because this is a dance song, when sung in the concert the choreography would be really cool".
05. Shake it! (Jun Matsumoto), "This song is perfect for Matsumoto, the rhythm is pretty quickly.We also recorded it in five versions. May later be used in concert, but I don't know what it will be like".
06. Niji no Kakera ~ no rain, no rainbow ~, "This song has a closeness with nature and earth theme. The lyrics also have a positive message and make us smile".
07. Dear Snow, "When filming the PV of this song, I was feeling hot because I had to wear winter clothes even though it was still summer, hahaha. Aiba-chan even wearing a thick scarf. When brought the song in Dome concert before, the artificial snow was dropped from the roof to accompany our singing".
08. Hung up on (Satoshi Ohno),"The tempo dance of this song is very fast. This time I myself thrust this song on the staff and said, "I want to sing it." When I heard this song I was instantly interested. Because many of the lyrics in English, at first I had trouble moving my mouth. As difficult as time brought the rap on Rock This. Rap in this song is also done by Sho-chan.
09. Joy, "While staying at the Lake Yamanaka, the five of us recorded the sound of "STYLE" (applause). Due to the lyrics of the song which also contained the word "clap hands"(clapping), then we put it. When you hear this song, you must also be encouraged to join in the clapping".
10. Demo Doko ni Aru Uta (Kazunari Ninomiya), "This song fits well with Nino. In contrast to the album last year, this time he brought the ballad. I could feel his hard work in this song. First of all he made the melody, and then tried to record it with just humming "la la la..." as he struggled to write the lyrics.
11. negai, "How can I put this? Although the song is slowly, but it has a rhythm. I feel this song is similar with REFRAIN. I love this song. When recording I sang the song joyfully".
12. Lotus, "I can only imagine the image of Aiba-chan in this song. That's because the song is used as the theme song of BARTENDER (drama, starring by Masaki Aiba). At first in the choreography, Aiba-chan was placed in the middle of the formation, but he said the position was so difficult to listen to the song, hahaha. While appearing on "Music Station" he did the sound check until moments before the performance, but still no luck. Luckily while on stage he could perform smoothly, hahaha. Aiba-chan is really great".
13. Janakute (Masaki Aiba), "When I was listening to the demo tape, I felt this song is perfect for Aiba-chan. I can not wait to hear the outcome".
14. morning light, "The song is upbeat and uplifting. I worked hard for the falsetto! In the note record written "tracks styled such as outer space," but the image of "outer space" was different for each person. I think that their intent was to process the sound with various effects, hahaha".
15. To be free, "To be free feels like an old song ... year ago. We did the song recording and the PV making last spring. This song is perfect for live performance".
16. Kono Mama Motto (Sho Sakurai), "This was really unexpected, hahaha. The song was really really soft. So much different from T.A.B.O.O that he brought on the previous album. I think fans can expect a smooth appearance of Sho at the concert later. You can see the other side of different Sho".
17. Hatenai Sora, "It's a very good song. We've brought it in "Arashi ni Shiyagare". I was touched when brought the song".
18. Made Tooku, "The theme of this cheerful song is to sing along. This song could be heard in June, in JAL commercials starring by Arashi. The song is upbeat and fresh!".
Going back to my bed now, jaa~
