Whoo!  It's been awhile since I've posted here.  I've been working over the summer (although I don't have a permanent job yet), but I've also been following Super Junior's new comeback.  The different things going on were really interesting and I got a bit obsessive.  Funnily enough, it made me appreciate Super Junior more, but also Arashi more.  XD

I did a breakdown of the new video to have numerical proof behind the lack of face-time for certain members.  Everyone noticed Shindong, and about half that amount noticed Kangin's serious lack of presence, but no one commented on Ryeowook who had just about as little time.  But in any case, I obsessively finished my calculations and will post it up soon.

I was thinking, Bingo is a good name for my situation being an Arashi fan and also a Super Junior fan.  Of course I'm an ELF in any case, but I like being able to represent both sides at once.  I always thought Bingo fit Arashi since I saw their bingo game on VS and thought "Bingo is the best configuration of 5 individual pieces".  That's Arashi, right?  And now "I'm ready too, bingo" is a line in the new SuJu single that everyone comments about, so it fits both groups uniquely.

Arashi is my parent group, my stable boys that will never let me down and never change in my eyes.  SuJu is my young hot-blooded group that I can actively cheer for and try to help them succeed.

Even though I love SuJu, I wasn't extremely impressed by the comeback.  Like many other ELFs, I think of it more as a production fail.  The song just doesn't have enough impact and the music video was a bit boring in the design.  Plus, you can never see the awesomeness of their dancing because the cameras always cut away or use weird angles etc.

The only things not related to production are Kangin's lack of presence and the lack of emotion the boys are showing on stage.  I get the feeling they're really nervous, and I'm not sure why that set in now.  They need to just let loose and have fun and their fans will appreciate it a lot more.  The variety shows they've appeared in recently have been awesome because the emotion you don't see on stage comes out there instead.

Well, if they can do this well without a great song and MV, then when they have a real comeback, things are going to explode; that's how I've decided to think about this.

And I will break YouTube soon.  My experiments will pay off and I'll finally understand how views are counted after the 300 mark.  It might not be in time for this comeback, but it will be of use in the future.  That's all for now.  I desperately need to do laundry, take out trash, clean cat area, vaccuum, etc etc etc. XPP

I think I'll teach my dad about emoticons sometime soon....

super junior, random occurences, arashi
