[KAT-TUN] My Top 10 Chart(s)
Konbanwa, mina-san! ^^/
It has been a long time since I started to write this post (it was in August, I think…). It somehow stuck in my computer only half-prepared and I just wasn´t able to finish it (from many many reasons). But finally! I could do it, and I´m proud of myself. ^^´
Spin-chan ( spinelie), who now belongs to my ´thanks-LJ-for-letting-me-know-about-these-Hyphens´ Friends, was at the beginning of this idea, as she made this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFIta22AhOs) lovely video about her KAT-TUN Top 10…
I was thinking about doing something like this when the Anniversary Album was released and I´ve found out that Hyphens chose some songs, which I would not include into the Best OF (as Bounce Girl, or Shunkanshuuto) myself. It made me wonder if I´m able to do some selection at all. Because at first, when I tried to think about my favorite songs, I realized there would be at least Top 30 chart from them. I thought that I´m just not able to do it, because… you know… I love all their songs. XD
But following Spin-chan´s example, I decided to be harsh on myself and chose "really" only ten. Though, I cheated a little in the end…
I couldn´t do only one chart, so there are TWO of them. The first one includes only 6-nin songs and the second chart is for 5- and 4-nin songs.
I love KAT-TUN music in general and many of their songs are really… special for me, even though I do not consider them to be especially great as comes to music or lyrics, so I wasn´t able to choose a proper order for them. Therefore, they´re aligned according to the date of release or the sequence at the album. So, it doesn´t mean that REAL FACE mentioned as the first is my favorite. XD
Also, I´d like to mention that NO solos and NO special compilations (as Kizuna, Butterfly or Monster Night) are considered in those charts. I´d have to make a third one for those. XD
Let me know what your favorite KAT-TUN songs are, if you like, or make a chart on your own. It was not easy (IT WAS HELL TO PICK SO FEW, DAMN IT), but it was really a fun to do it. And it´s a good reminder of everything what our dear Captains accomplished so far.
Keep waiting for their comeback, kimitachi! ^^/
KAT-TUN 6-nin
1. REAL FACE - this one was easy, their debut single is simply awesome even years after
2. GOLD - because of “Don´t you wanna see it when we make it worldwide?”
3. PRECIOUS ONE - hell, I don´t need any special reason to include this one
4. YOROKOBI NO UTA - because Jin was back and that happy atmosphere about that fact in the related PV is just… *sobs*
5. TABOO - because of QoP live opening
6. HELL NO - because Jin and Kame at QoP live brought me chills as they´re trying to “over-sing” the other
7. RESCUE - because there´s no PV where they would be more kakkoi
8. WATER DANCE - because I love the rhythm, I love the lyrics, I love their performance of it at BtR live… you get the point, right?
9. NEIRO - because it´s the last final ballad they sang together, even along with the whole Dome
10. ON MY MIND - because there´s no song more beautiful or more sad in their repertoire
KAT-TUN 5-nin and 4-nin
1. NMP - because of the unusual orchestra beginning and because of THOSE LYRICS
2. ULTIMATE WHEELS - because of that ´shadows thing´ in PV
3. SILENCE - because it´s the first one I´ve ever heard from them
4. KUSABI - because of the PV, and it´s the first one of 4-nin
5. PHOENIX - because they are one
6. COME HERE - because it´s incredibly catchy and it always makes my heart beat stronger since the live
7. HIDE AND SEEK - because the live version of it gives me the creeps even now
8. FEATHERS - because it´s quite rockish and unusual for their style
9. UNLOCK - because it´s for Kaitou Yamaneko drama
10. GREATEST JOURNEY - because it makes me smile every time I hear it
Desperate note: And now tell me where the hell should I include Bokura no Machi de? And why TWILIGHT, BLACK, CRAZY LOVE, WHITE X-MAS or BIRTH couldn´t squeeze in there somewhere?!
Ok, I rather shut up already... XD
