concert roulette #021
... I could get used to capping these short songs. I didn't pick this because it was one of the shorter performances of Kotoba yori but I was pleased when I realized. :D I picked this because: 1. I HAD TO PICK SOMETHING, THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD; 2. it comes right after Pikanchi Double so I had a good excuse to watch that frequently; 3. I couldn't not pick it. And, also, I suppose, 4. I can't imagine a day where I will have the emotional fortitude to cap Nino's solo of this song during 5x10. If Top doesn't do it I will just have to cap EVERY OTHER performance of Kotoba yori Taisetsu na Mono first. (Because the feelings I feel when Nino does his solo are too strong, if that isn't clear from my words and GENERAL SELF.)
My assignment (and one of my very songs) starts at 5:34 but for the full experience, I'd start with Pikanchi Double at 2:15 and slide right into Kotoba yori after.
Ohno tosses away his sparkly, color-coded coat (sparkly+color-coded=guaranteed to be loved by Val) while the other four hold the last note of Pikanchi Double.
Then Ohno readies for his solo (ONE OF THE BEST ARASHI SOLOS IN THEIR SONGS Y/Y) and the others remove their outer garments as well. Revealing... well, you can see what is revealed.
A SEXY TIME, THAT'S WHAT'S REVEALED. I am being sarcastic regarding the outfits (like pajamas crossed with late night infomercial salesmen) but not regarding Ohno's voice here.
Also he gets really excited and starts waving his arm up and down faster than can not look awkward and it is ADORABLE.
Nino is my hero.
CHUBBY CHEEKS.
AND THEN HIS FACE GOES LIKE THIS.
AND THEN HIS FACE GOES LIKE THIS.
And he shouts the last part of his solo which is ALWAYS A PLEASER.
Which, from another angle, gives us this shot into his mouth and shows off his somehow crazily endearing teeth. (JUST ME?)
THEY ARE ALL SUCH WINNERS HERE, I don't even know who to point out.
Then the drum roll and they're dancing! I could not love the choreography for this song more. I had such a hard time picking which performance to cap but any without the choreography were immediately disqualified.
So much spinning! And everyone's not always doing the same thing, they are frequently broken into groups and I love that.
obligatory I love Ohno's hair cap
This just feels so right to me.
Nino spinning again!
And he exits his spin like this and I fall in love all over again.
And then Ohno and Jun do this fabulous run across the stage past each other a la Ohno and Sho in Kitto Daijoubu.
AIBA'S HAIR IS IN HIS FACE A LOT THIS PERFORMANCE.
I love it when they're running around all crazy but I am most fond of all five of them on one small stage, together.
I AM ALSO FOND OF SHO. ♥
This time Nino and Aiba are off dancing together! They are as dramatic in their moves as always. ♥!!
And Nino's hand on a microphone still does things to me.
A spin and we're ready for SHO and NINO to have their turn dancing together. SHO AND NINO DANCING TOGETHER IS ALWAYS THE BEST THING IN LIFE.
They spot each other and prepare...
FOR GLORIOUS WTF.
NINO'S DORKINESS/SHO'S DORKINESS: OTP.
HOW ARE THEY THE MOST WONDERFUL LOSERS IN THE WORLD. WHAT ARE THEY EVEN DOING. afldjasl;fjkd
I spot a mile long Aiba limb!
NINO AND SHO'S VICTORY TOUR OF DORKDOM GOES ON FOR SO LONG.
AIBA'S HAIR.
SO GOOD. SO GOOD. KOTOBA YORI CHOREOGRAPHY, YES.
Aiba and Ohno have crazy legs!
This is the hips part that editing didn't really show us but my mind fills it in every time anyway.
The stage is up much higher now. I would like to take this moment to thank Matsujun for the moving stages. A++++
NINOOOOOOOOO.
I feel editing did not give Jun enough this time around! What, didn't he have feelings to sing about? Didn't he dance dorkily just like the rest of them? COME ON, DVD PEOPLE.
I am just boggled by these outfits.
OUR BOYS. ♥
HI, YOU'RE PRETTY AND I LOVE YOU. AND YOUR GIANT RING, TOO.
SIGH, AIBA. He makes me blink my eyes a lot like I am seeing things, wondering if one person can really be that lovely.
This song gets everyone so excited!
NINO MOST OF ALL.
STOP IT, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME FOND OF THESE OUTFITS. <3
It is not surprising to me that Nino chose this song for his solo. He gets so into it, augh, and really has a lot of fun... it makes my heart go fj;ldksflkj.
HE IS JUST SO WONDERFUL.
"Hey!" ♥
Whee!
Soft-looking, honey-colored, plus dark and sweaty and sticking to his skin, a cloud of Aiba-love around his face, augh, augh, shut up.
Another Jun and Ohno run!
I like the similarity between Ohno and Nino here, although the angle of Nino's leg seems IMPOSSIBLE once again.
Everyone spin!
Face of a superstar. ♥♥
JUN LEANING ALL OVER NINO.
EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD.

*phwooooooooosh* for Top's assignment...
Nemuranai Karada!
OH MAN, I just rewatched this performance to remind myself what the hell it is and I am SO EXCITED FOR TOP'S POST. There are so many things that are going to be amazing that I ALMOST wish I'd gotten it but no, this is better, now I get to see Top's post on it instead! It also breaks our streak of short songs so, uh, sorry about that, Top. ♥ SO MUCH TO LOVE. CAN'T WAIT.
