Concert Roulette #012
Eeeee! I cannot handle my luck lately! Okay, to be fair, it's pretty good odds that I'm going to get an Arashi song that I'll enjoying spamming. But this time I drew something nothing short of legendary, a performance that's been seared onto your retinas, Ohno's solo Song for Me! That's right, we're about to have our first solo and it's three and of half minutes of only Ohno's hips and voice and face. In a stroke of... actually stopping and thinking for a minute, I figured out how to make my caps smaller sized (a good thing, I think you'll agree) and prettier this time. Hold on to your hats uchiwas, my friends!
As usual, here's your fix on YouTube:
Downloadable (Prettier) version! (39 MB @ Mediafire)
To open, a word from Leader himself on Song for Me:
Because it has a pretty up-tempo feel, I think it'll be great if I can dance that at the live too. For me, instead of riding the rhythm and dancing, it's more... how should I put it? Somehow... I can't say it well but, it's a song that I requested, "Something like this!" (laughs). If I use an image, it has a "complicated" feel I guess. Emotions take flight in various places... it's like being in a pinch. Like there's a feeling of danger... a feel of thrill! (laughs). You don't really get it? That can't be helped. I think you'll understand if you listen to it (laughs). It's just that, regarding the live's solo, I haven't thought of any choreography so, I can't make any comments on it now. I do have an image of it but, even if I ran straight ahead with nothing but images... once I perform, it'll happen that "Ahhh... I can't move my body at all" (laughs). But, towards the direction of dance! I'm thinking in the direction of working hard (laughs)! Please look forward to it.

The bell is tolling...
You know what that intro means...
*snap* It's struck the hour of HOTNESS.
OHNOOOOOOOO (That head bobbing, A++)
(Ahahaha, my mom just came to talk to me and went "AH SOMETHING SCARY I'LL COME BACK LATER" and walked away. XD I guess that's true since this solo makes me think Maou thoughts but all I see is EXTREME HOTNESS.)
DO ME ON ITTTTTT. (I'm going to have very high-minded thoughts on this one. XD) I love that move when he slides his hand under his jacket so much, it gets me every time. ♥
Every time both of Ohno's feet are off the ground, I take a cap. It's a compulsion.
Augh, there's something about seeing him by himself, so tiny on this vast stage and yet commanding the attention of everyone in the place that just has my heart in my throat.
That hand roll-y move where he circles both hands around! ♥ (Yes, we've already gone past the depth of my dance knowledge, I'M SORRY)
I cannot adequately capture it but there's some fine hips going on here. And by fine I do mean RIDICULOUS.
The way he straightens his leg is just so crisp!
OHNO YOU ARE TOO MUCH FOR ME
I'm trying to take caps just when he really overwhelms me because there's something in every frame, every movement is so full of purpose and he's just so pretty doing them.
His teeth! I have such a fondness for his teeth, it doesn't seem like I should feel so strongly about teeth. ♥
Feet off the ground~
LEGS. This move, whatever it is called, blows my mind throughout the song.
You, sir, are very pretty.
I love this costume too, it's Johnny's sparkly but in a classy way! There's the plain green shirt (with a necklace ♥) and the practical sneakers mixed with the sparkly jacket (rolled to the elbow on one side, this is key), gold belt (draws attention to the hips, also good) and sequin stripe down the pants (sequins can be restrained too, yes, this is what Johnny's has brought me to. XD).
This little hop and sliding his foot along the ground, god! I want to say that about everything. He just carries himself with such confidence.
It just seems like center stage is where he was meant to wind up.
*dies* I seriously need to watch the Puu series of butais because when he dances seriously like this, he is constantly reminding me of a samurai.
So literally hitting below the belt.
The caption of every single cap in this picspam is "YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS IN MOTION TO GET IT" by the way. I should have mentioned that earlier. :)
I would say about now would be the time for shame but there's really no shame involved when it comes to Ohno Satoshi.
This applies to so much more than this moment but there's something so mind-meltingly hot about the fact that Ohno choreographed these movements himself. When he has a hand on his crotch hips, it's because he thought it was the thing to do. I just. I can't. I love you, Ohno.
That's the stuff.
Not for the first time, I think "How does he move his legs like that.."
Ohno Satoshi makes this look good.
I was so going to try not to take a million caps of this... but can you really blame me?
*snort* I don't need to say anything, right?
Not for the second time, I think "How does he move his legs like that!" :)
So goooooood.
I-It's somehow hotter to me that his hands barely aren't touching here?
Though, yes, that's still really hot!
I think I've identified another danger zone for me (other than EVERYTHING, of course) whenever he drags his toe along the ground!
♥♥♥
He propels himself back by swinging his leg backwards... why do I even try to describe these things. OKAY, OHNO DEFIES GRAVITY YET AGAIN. XD
Fuuuuuuck.
No faaaaaiiiir. It's time like these when, although I realize the egg/bird/hedgehog look is not for everyone, I wonder how Ohno isn't considered UNIVERSALLY REALLY ATTRACTIVE. I can broach no debate at this moment!
HIS VOICE. HIS VOICE IS ALSO RIDICULOUS. Along with the slow mo and the hands and shoulders, I don't know what to do.
AHHHHHHH.
The "ima mo mada natteru" line kills me without the addition of a close-up (though this is obviously the moment for one, well played).
Yesssssss, I admire your choices cameraperson. I think we could get along just fine.
(Caps taken of this one moment: five.)
You. Are. So. Pretttttty.
The strut.
I love how the arms match his vocal here!
BRB, FANGIRLING OVER OHNO'S VOICE "Hikari afurete wa hitori hitomi tojitaaaa" ♥
*gulp* Purposeful hand close-ups, they know me so well.
BEST CAMERA ANGLE OF THE WHOLE SONG
Augh AUGH he's singing his heart out!
alskhakhfgahdfjgh;jd
Ahhhhhhh. I love this moment not only for the lighting but also because it's a second where you just get a see him take a breath and then lift his eyes and launch into the intense dancing. AHHHHHH.
I LOVE IT
OVERWHELMINGLY AWESOME SEQUENCE START
WAHHHHHHH
Seriously, ever time I watch him dance, I'm still shocked by how good he is. How controlled, how quick, how graceful.
How easily he leaps straight into the air!
SERIOUSLY OHNO. WHAT ARE YOU. My face flushes whenever I watch this, for real.
Ughhhh, Ohnooo. Voice. VOICE. Hand. Where does this self-possession come from, my god.
SING IT, OHNO
OHNOOOOOOO! At this point, I'm pretty much DYING due to the crazy awesome way his singing makes this song even more riveting than the recorded version.
NECK.
You've been holding your breath up to this point, right? Yeah, his sustained notes do that to you. One more round of dancing left!
Ohno, I love your legs and your leaping so!
As much as I appreciate seeing how much he sparkles in the light, ARTSY LACK OF FOCUS I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW.
BETTER
WORSE
HI, HI OHNO
The answer to what Ohno is? GREAT. He is REALLY GREAT.
Yes, I am completely your puppet.
One last bobble...
Yeah, you know you loved it.
I'll dance for this year's live! I'll dance you know. I'll dance now while I can. While my body can move (laughs).
