やっぱりキミがナンバーワン♪

[faded_lace]

After waiting until a day after the release date to get it, I got busy and, blasphemous as it is, only got around to watching the Kimi Attraction videos and makings today. My conclusion: JUMP makings were actually more interesting when they were all reckless brats who were probably driving the staff insane. Of course… that's not actually 100% how

Ahaha Jump's staff just think they're hilarious now instead of hating their lives |D;;

And yeah, I hope Takaki's not in trouble... ;; He's so attractive and such a good singer, come on management. (I know neither of these things are related to anyone's number of solo lines |D)

But I'm really happy for you that Inoo was so featured in this! It was fun seeing him as one of the center people in the PV ♥

And yay for awesome first week sales!!

[faded_lace]

Yeah, so I guess it paid off for the staff? XD

idk, I don't know if I find that a particularly helpful way of thinking about things? Everyone should get something, because everyone brings something to the group… I think britkit27 might have something to say about you saying only attractive people should get more?

Me too ♥ I mean, obviously. But after so long, I think he really deserves it, and he did such a good job.

Indeed!

[yomimashou]

Yeah |D I wonder how many of their staff have been working with them since they were babies XD

That's definitely true. It's easy to say that kind of thing without really thinking about the implications ; Everyone brings their own things to the group, and I agree that everyone should get something ♥

He did! He looked so cute in this PV~

[faded_lace]

I hope at least some of them. XD;

Yeah. I mean… It's valid to want to say "why doesn't he get more dramas? he's good at acting," or "why doesn't he get more lines? he's good at singing," but once you get into a general "he's attractive" or something, it starts to feel like you're saying he's objectively better… which isn't productive, even if I've engaged in it a lot >__>; I think we both agree that we both want what's best for everyone in the group.

Thank you T___T

aww i'm glad inoo is finally getting more screentime and lines :) his voice add color to yamada, chinene, and daiki.

since i am still fairly new to jump fandom, who exactly is heir 2nd tier? yamada, chinen, and daiki usually almost always have the most lines and screen time, but everyone else under i'm not to sure.

i need to go watch the old makings to see just how much of a handful all the kiddos used to be. :)

[faded_lace]

I'm glad, too

ohh girl i have been lurking forever to find subbed videos of them and i found them!! being an arashi fan really made me learn how to search the internet. if theres a will, theres definitely a way hehe

yeah i remember takaki started off with gokusen 3, and yuto was center during ultra music power days. it's really funny to me cuz werent yabu and hikaru like the popular juniors when before they debuted? and awww inoo had like 0 lines. maybe thats why he concentrated on graduating to make sure he had a backup plan. keito was another interesting one to me too. i know his dad is a sempai, and i want to like him, but hes just so quiet and he hardly sings, that i feel like his presence doenst really bring much? except for in the jump band, and his occasional compositions, but even then, its yabu, yamada, and hikaru.

and yes, their management. well, if aiba can get away with his scandal back in '04, and ohno's most recent scandal, i think the jump boys are safe.

I can imagine being an Arashi fan would teach you how to find files. XD; I'm glad that you found them!

Yeah, things have definitely shifted around over the past 8 years. Yuto was officially the center for Ultra Music Power, but Yamada and Takaki were the centers for Dreams Come True (they wrote about it in their Myojo 10,000 character interviews, so it's official), and Yamada has been the center since. Actually, Inoo talks about why he went to college in his Myojo 10,000 character interview, too. He went to college for himself, not because he ever considered being anything besides an idol. It makes me sad that people get the impression that he felt he wasn't going to be an idol, because he says straight-out in his interview, "First and foremost, I was always an idol." (I wrote a little about it here, though the topic was something a little different.) As for Keito, since he had literally no idol training before he debuted (like, none. He was a junior for a few months, that's it, because he was living in England up until debut),

Sob, my bb T___T Still, everyone having a solo line in the first verse is definitely an improvement, and I agree that it felt like Inoo, Daiki, and Chinen were the mains of this PV with Yamada as almost an afterthought (compared to normal |D), which is a big change. Just think how unimaginable this all would have been two years ago, to say nothing of three |D;; and hooray for it selling so well~

I like their makings now too, but I get what you mean about missing them being ridiculous children |D;; as much as the staff probably hated having to deal with them, seeing them messing around was a lot of fun, in a different way XD

[faded_lace]

Yeah, it's really pretty crazy. It's honestly crazy how fast Inochan has moved to the front; he was still totally in the back for Weekender and Asu e no Yell, slightly featured in Korosensations, a little more featured in Chau#, and then just making it to the higher tier for Kira Kira Hikare… seeing all the songs he had no solo lines in in the concert was a little weird and surreal. XD;

Ahaha, yeah |D;
