can i please live in a beautiful world?
I planned this to be a gigantic post filled with Beautiful World review ramblings, GANTZ PERFECT answer, and real life happenings. But my online time has been cut short immensely from previous times, due to such RL events, that it even took me in the span of 3 days to write this post. So everything else will have to come later otherwise I'd never be able to post this :p
Rock this
Am I hearing this right? The first line ever.. "(laughs) oh my god XD" I think it's pretty safe to say that almost of all the tracks I didn't like at first (except a few which I'll mention later ;p) This is so the case with this one. But I've come to like this song! I've always liked it when all members rap <3 Ohno's rap parts are always the most amusing though XD And you can just tell this is gonna be the perfect song for their concert opening. I like BNMF's Movin On too but I thought as the show opening it was kind of a miss. Anyway, it will forever remind me of this:
(Not mine obviously, oh tumblr people XDDDD)
まだ見ぬ世界へ
I did not care for this song at all when I first heard the preview on tumblr, to my surprise everyone else seem to love it right away. Then they came out with a PV and a making of and it has been growing on me ALOTT. Just think of how AWESOMELY AWESOME it will be when they perform this song. To the top to the top to the top come with me! (typically everyone's favorite part :p)
Love Rainbow
I was on my hiatus when this single came out, so when I read the title I was just like "wow, Arashi's song titles has gotten that much worse? after Love So Sweet comes LOVE RAINBOOW" XDD Anyway, not one of my favorite single/track but I do like it a lot.
Plus I have this image whenever I hear it.
always
The beginning reminds me of Circus a bit. Um, that's it? :D
Shake it !
Come back to me >>>>>>>>>> Shake it ! Least favorite solo on this album. Enough said :p
虹のカケラ～no rain,no rainbow～
I LOVE this, that's for sure. One of my fave on the album. I like how it doesn't have the techno feel XD /obviously is not a big fan of the type. I loved it at first listen. It has a calming feeling and ....I don't know, it's really nice~
Dear Snow
This is one of those song titles I "o_O" at along with Love Rainbow XD The first time I heard this song was actually the music box version. I just accidentally stumbled upon it and I was just like "WHAT IS THIS SONG SO PRETTY." I loved it so much I kept listening to it the whole day. Then I thought, maybe it's time to listen to the real version. And when I did, I was a little disappointed it wasn't as pretty as the music box :p But what do I know, I LOVE it now ♥
Hung up on
Hanako doushita... XDDD I didn't even think it sounded like that, but now I do, thanks to Ohno himself and his Engrish insecurities. Again, I didn't like it at first, but after a while I started looping this song, I was surprised! There are so many things I'd like to point out... 1. When they said there's a sakurap in this song I was excited of course, but now that I heard it, you can kind of barely hear him. Which is great actually, because this IS Ohno's solo XD But I think it's there just the right amount.. 2. Ohno's little shoutout to himself and Sho as a pair: "HEY SUPER SOUL!" (talking more must) XDDD 3. Also, I've said this on tumblr, but there's a line which I thought Ohno says "don't tell me why is she funny" ...and I was just like "I don't even know who's she or WHY she's funny Riida... -_-" that line turned out to be "don't tell me why isshi furan ni" I still hear and sing "why she's funny" though okay. 4. Around 2:28 who else thought it kind of sound like Justin Timberlake's Love Stoned? (no? just me? T_T) I swear, I thought I was listening to that song then I was like "WAIT, when did I even change the song?!?" So okay, that's all. Oh, one of my fave solo on the album. One of the two I listen the most ;p

The main reason I like this song is of course because we get to see them recording it. But even so, the song itself is pretty good. HIBI HIBI HIBI HIBI HIBI KASENAGARA! ..and Aiba-chan having a hard time singing so XD;
I didn't even hear as much dubbing as I thought we would. I didn't even hear Ohno's" yeaaaaahhhhh"??
Wait, I do actually, it's just not quite the same as the "YEAAH" in the training camp though.
どこにでもある唄
This is such a GREAT song, as expected of a Nino solo. I'd say this is the greatest out of the 5's solos. Having said that, I haven't been listening to this as much. Maybe I haven't been in the mood to listen to this kind of song. But, it's lovely <3 zutto, zuttooo ZUTTTOOOOO
negai
And this one reminds me of Refrain somehow :p but I like Refrain so much more.
Lotus
Definitely not one of the songs I like at first. This is for sure my least fave single on the album. I wouldn't click to listen to it, but I wouldn't necessarily skip it if it comes on. Oh, Nino's and Ohno's (but mostly Nino's) high pitch part is just "uhm.." for me XDDD
「じゃなくて」
I was a bit disappointed. I LOOVE Aiba's solos. Next to Nino's I love his the most.. or maybe they're about equal, I'm not sure D: I'm not feeling the jazz-y music. I do really like the part just right before the chorus. But then the chorus starts and I'm like ...yeah.
morning light
Surpsingly, I really like this song.

Oh my goddd what can I say about this song? <333333333 I think this is definitely in my TOP 10 Arashi songs OF ALL TIME you guysss. The first time I heard this song was when watching SCENE. I remember just liking the kakedashitanda and yume egaitanda parts.. but now I love everything about it. It's such a shame this isn't as popular as the other singles I think? This song gives me feelings especially at THAT kawaita mama after you count to 4 two times.

First of all, THANK YOU Sho for going with a different feel this time. I've never liked any of his solo >_< Oh, with the exception of hip hop boogie <3 but I never get the hype with TABOO, yes the performance was pretty hot but I can't even hum the song for you right now, that's how unimpressionable it was for me. I always find it so awkward watching his solo performances XD;; But anyway, this song! I LOVE IT. The first time I listen to it I was just like "WHAT IS THISS?! SO CATCHY. MUST REPEAT" I do not care that it sounds cheesy with the sax or that he says MY BOO, I love everything (okay maybe the way he entered with the rap could be better, but other than that the rap parts goes perfect with it) I was pretty confused though when people fussed over "baby please stay gold" I was just like WHERE IN THE SONG DID HE SAY THAT?! For the life of me I thought he said "baby please don't go" XD Oh yeah, BABY I LAAVE YOU itsumademo♥
果てない空
I've never realized how pretty this song actually is until Freeter (which I haven't finished.. I'm still on ep 4 ^^;;) and after Sho played it on the piano I like it even more :p Good song is good.
遠くまで
I really really like the intro. Sing togetherrrr. But basically, this:
:D
Okay, now that it's out of the way I will read my flist's posts soon! So sorry I've only scanned through some of it ^^;;
