I’ve met 8 neither through other groups, their songs, perfs, nor concerts, but through the Chronicle show. Around April, a certain web page that I’m following started subbing Ikemen Camera and English Tel. Game segments in Thai. 8 was seriously funny and gradually piqued my interest. Yeah, I’m no different than other Eighters who love 8 because of their funniness and happy atmosphere. First I thought they were a bunch of actors (I tend to assume that everyone appearing on screen is actor XD). Then I guessed they were comedians. Finally I learned that they were actually a JE’s idol group. WTH!?! For real?? This is an idol group who doesn’t seem to care about their images, doesn’t give a shit if they don’t look cool or hot (sounds funny but you get what I mean, right ( ... )

Hahahaha. I agree with you that Ryo is a gigantic magnet bait attracting almost everyone who has laid eyes upon the group. A considerable amount of girls here go for him. And Subaru’s voice is so powerful. As for me, I like Tatsu’s voice the most among members. He has this deep, low-pitched, calm tone and is soothing to hear. Even Maru has a bit too high-pitched voice for my taste.

I feel a bit guilty that I’m not initially hooked by Eito music. I mean they have several upbeat, genki songs that are catchy. And I’m happy that they (or the producer) try to incorporate different musical genre into their works. I like You Can See more than Michi, so to speak. I wish one day Eito could have total control over their music in every aspects. That would be a bless.

You just couldn’t ignore Flea’s bass lines, could you? ;-D I reckon he’s one of the greatest bassists for the present time.

I don't think you should feel guilty, seriously, pretty much everyone that got hooked to Eito wasn't because of the music. Everyone is here for their goofy personas, good music is a plus, of course, but we keep loving them even when they release crappy songs :) And I sure hope they'll achieve a level where they can release an album only with their own songs and produced by themselves. They still have some way to go on that until they reach TOKIO's Nagase level

Ryo is the ultimate bait in this group hahaha Although I've met some people that were Yoko-baited.

Flea's bass xD That's exactly it, you can't ignore it even if you try. You still hear it even if you're not looking for it, it just stands out!

XD I'm so amused at your commenting some of Eito's songs are crappy! Which one do you find crappy specifically? I can think of some but I'd rather keep quiet. XP After all it depends on one's taste.

Oh, I'm excitedly waiting to see next KanJam show that Maru's been happily referring to. So curious as to see which genre it's gonna be.

Hahaha to be honest, there are many songs I find crappy xD Of course, it's all a matter of taste, so there's no right or wrong. Mainly, whenever they say they're releasing something as a drama/movie theme song I go "oh no". Those are usually public-friendly, innofensive songs that tend to be bland, generic and are neither fun nor intense or emotional/painful, they're just forgettable and boring (of course, there are exceptions). Some of Eito's title tracks I find boring (drama-related or not): Hibiki, Namida no Kotae, Ima (my God this song is so bland and forgettable how could this ever be a title track and the other JAM title track isn't much better either), the latest Kiseki no Hito and the top worst to me: Animal Magic. I don't think I ever listened to that song in full or finished watching its PV (like why does this even have a PV in the first place) and I don't think I'm the only one since even though it's a feature track it's never picked for concerts xD Thankfully, I very rarely (if ever) dislike a song they have composed ( ... )
