A meme stolen from my beta-reader
andreja1989 which I will try to do, although it’s real tough…
Chose 10 Arashi songs (non solo's) that you really like and are meaningful to you. I know they have many songs and you might love them all but it has be ones that really mean something to you, as a person. Then a little why you like the songs. And perhaps add a bit of lyric that you like.
So, here are my choices~!

Right back to you, Pika**nchi Double, Still, Be with you: jpopasia

Face down: yarukizero @ LJ
1. Believe
This was my first song of Arashi I heard. I watched Yattaman without knowing that Sho is from Arashi xD Then, after some funny circumstances I learned about my our beloved boys I listened the Utaban performance around 20 times in a row and it made me download whole discography.
2. Cry for you
A song that “took away” two weeks of my life. Whenever I was listening to the music it was only that song on repeat mode. It made me ask my friend to download TIME concert, which I watched 16 times till now. I love the performance, even though it was too short for me. Probably then I started to be “obsessed” hehehe xD
3. Monster
First single I bought. I decided to buy it when I was on a trip with my friend… I remember my happiness when I received it few weeks later. I bought single and some magazines. I watched the “Making of” around 50 times with subs to watch my DVD and understand what they are saying. Aaahhh, natsukashiiiiiii~~!
4. Right back to you
A song that means a lot for me and my friend… After one certain phone call…
ただひとつ君信じる
Your the only one I believe in.
Those lyrics mean a lot. ♥
5. Pik**anchi Double
Song that makes me cry each time I listen to it. The moment I am start sniffing is the last chorus…
動き始めた列車の中に いつでも君はいるから
あの時あの場所でまた会えるかなぁ
信じ続けた瞳の奥に いつでも僕はいるかな
海辺に咲いた花のように逞しく
ずっと このまま 光よ 僕らの未来 照らして
高く舞い上がれ
終わったはずの夢がまだ 僕らの背中に迫る 刻まれた想い出が騒ぎ出す
限られた愛と時間を 両手に抱きしめる せめて今日だけは消えないで
止まった時間は夕暮れ 僕らの未来を照らす 二度と戻れない夜の中で
いつまでも語り続ける 永久と希望の歌を たとえ今だけと分かっていても
動き続けた長針と短針は
振り返ってみると いやに短期間
「あかさたな」習った頃から現在
俺ら若過ぎた ただ若過ぎた
Inside the train that has begun moving,
you're always there.
Will I see you again at that time, that place?
Deep in those eyes that kept believing,
will I always be there?
Strong like a flower that bloomed on the beach.
Light, keep shining on our future like this forever.
Fly high
The dreams that were supposed to be over
are pushing our backs.
The engraved memories start to make noise.
Holding the limited love and time in both of my hands
At least for today, please don't disappear.
The stopped time is like the sunset
that shines on our future in the night
that we can never go back to.
We'll keep conversing forever,
the song of eternity and hope
Even if we know it's only for now.
The big hand and the little hand that kept moving
Looking back, it was a reluctantly short period of time.
From the time we learned our "ABCs" to now,
We were too young, just too young.
6. 5x10
I think I don’t have to explain my reasons… I cry listening to that song, I love the Anniversary Tour performance. Nothing more to say, everybody understand ne?
ずっとずっと心にあるんだ、
だからこそ伝えて見たいんだ
ありがとう、これからもありがとう
ここに立って僕たちが今輝けるのは君がいるから
5人でいる、ずっといる
今までを力に変えて変わらぬ愛で包み紺から
永遠が、ほら永遠が
僕と君だけに生まれたんだ。
It's always, always in our hearts, that's why we want to try and show it to you
Thank you... "From now on as well, thank you"
We're standing here now, able to shine because you're there
The five of us will always be here, forever
If we turn everything up to now into our strength, and wrap it up with unchanging love
Eternity... look, eternity
Was born just for me and you.
7. Face down
The song that made my world spun upside down. It’s hard to explain, but this song made my heart squeeze and my brain leaked through my ears… It’s hard to explain, I think that maybe only one person here will understand what I am talking about…
癒えぬ傷跡に 雨が降り注げば
目覚めてくそのメモリー 次のドアのその先へと
When rain pours down on the scars that won't heal
These memories which are awakening will be on the other side of the next door.
8. Still
This song became special for me after Aiba-chan was hospitalized. Somehow my player played that song real often then… Made me survive that period… SakuRap from this song is my ringtone…
“あの日 君は僕になんて言ってたっけ…”
なんて言ったってもう関係ないね
散々会って 段々分かって 季節迫り来て散々泣いて
君は君 夢 でっかく描いて
僕はここから成功を願ってる
「待ってるだけじゃ明日はないから
動いた ここじゃ始まらないから」
先の見えない暗い道路も
それが例え迂回路(うかいろ)でも
いまは少し二人とも
つらい表情 しまっておこう
これは別れではない 出逢いたちとのまた新たな始まり
ただ 僕はなおあなたに逢いたい
まだ…
いつか笑ってまた再会 そう絶対
"You were saying something to me that day..."
Whatever that is doesn't matter anymore.
The horrible meetings, I slowly understand. The seasons are coming, terribly crying.
You are you, painting your enormous dream.
I am hoping for your success from here.
"Because there is no tomorrow if I just wait,
because it won't start here so I moved on."
Even there is an unseen dark path ahead,
even if we have to take detours.
Even if right now we are showing
a bit of painful expressions.
This is not goodbye, we will meet again, it will be a new beginning.
I just to see you even more.
Still...
Someday, we will be smiling when we reunite. Yes, that's for sure.
9. How can I love
A song I just adore, I fell in love after first time I listened to it… I changed a title of my fic because of that song! It fits it well and made me inspired more to finish it. I was trying to write it for several months and finally I finished it! All that thanks to that song! ♥
10. Be with you
Masaki and mine Song that made me fall for my precious ichiban! Song that every single time makes my heart melt… Especially the live version, when Aiba’s voice breaks… A special song for me, yeah for sure.
君の声が その笑顔が その全てが
僕をいつも僕に返してくれる
どんな過去も どんな明日も 感じ合おう
そして僕は君のもとに
そしていつも君とともに
Your voice, your smiles, everything about you
Always for me and always because of me
No matter what past or future we may have, we’ll feel them together
And I will go to where you are
And I will always be with you.
