Kanjani8 30 Days Challenge 2017 version - Part 2
Answers 11-20:
11. Your favorite lyrics from one of their songs
In the life-size puzzle I finally finished,
only the piece with my heart was missing.
Lyrics to Wander, from Fight album.
I really love the lyrics to this song. Not only its message is beautiful and meaningful, but it's also beautifully written.
12. Your favorite music video
This is a hard one because there would be two answers, one from a fan's point of view and other from the public's.
TAKOYAKI in my heart
From a fan's perspective, I'd choose TAKOYAKI in my heart as the best PV. This whole song and PV are entirely built on internal fandom jokes and descriptions of each member's characthers, and it also aludes to things in the group's history that fans love, like Eight Rangers and 8UPPERS, so it's the epitome of fanservice. For those same reasons, it might not be that interesting to the general public/non-Eighters who aren't familiar with individual members and all that stuff. It also works as a test to fans: once one can understand all the jokes and references in this PV it's when one can truly call him/herself an Eighter xD
Itta Janai Ka
To this date, this is their funnniest PV (and my personal favorite), enjoyable to both fans and public alike. Not only the song is good but the video shows the duality that is Kanjani8's main point of appeal to most people: it shows both their comedic, silly side AND their cool side playing their instruments. If I were to introduce Eito to someone, this is definetly what I'd use.
13. Your favorite commercial with them
I don't really care about CFs so I'm not sure.
I'd point out the Recital DVD CF where Subaru (dressed a gangster's wife) begs Okura (the gangsta drunk husband) to buy milk for their child but Okura wants to buy Eito's DVD lololol it's damn hilarious --> link
14. The member you'd like to share a room with
Subaru, because he's the most interesting member to me and I'd love to spend a night up talking to him.
15. The member you'd like to be neighbors with
(this question is so random wtf)
Ryo, because I share his music taste so I wouldn't mind if he puts loud music on.
16. The member you'd like to have as your best friend.
I have no idea. Maybe Yasu, 'cause like, who wouldn't want to be friends with him? Or maybe Yoko, who has similar personality to me? I can think of different reasons for wanting to be friends with any of them.
17. Your favorite friendship/pairing
Hina x Baru
I like to call these two the 'real life OTP'. I don't ship any of the members romantically, but friendshipwise I like HinaBaru the most. Their friendship goes a long way. Hina is Subaru' number 1 fan and was such a big and powerful influence on him in their younger years. Subaru used to rely on Hina a lot (and still does), and there are countless times when he has talked about Hina's importance to him, and I don't even have to mention how Hina is a hopeless fan who cries his eyes out in Subaru's concerts and stuff xD
I also have a soft spot for YokoHina (actually, for Sanbaka in general).
And I absolutely have to point out that I can ship Maru with ANYONE in this group, he is the one member who isn't awkward with anyone.
18. Your favorite friendship/pairing between a member and someone who not in Eito
Subaru x Tackey
I like Subaru. I like Tackey. The two have a lot of history together.
I should also point out that I like any combination of Kanjani8 and Johnny's WEST members.
19. Your favorite group picture
My love for these pictures is UNDYING. So spontaneous and stupid and natural and <3
20. Your favorite macro
(do people still make those?)
I lost all my macro collection last time my HD died so I'll have to skip this one.
