I hated the pink suits. They were so *boring*. But I loved Aiba in shorts and especially his solo costume. :] I also love the crazy neon yellow costumes~ ahh~

*grins*

Yes, but you also loved the disco clowns ^_~ The pink suits were . . . inoffensive . . . the color was pretty, but there just wasn't much to them, you know? But I will let the Boy know that he's not the only one to despise the suits ^_^

Would you like to weigh in on the shorts + boots combo?

Honestly, I was hoping for more crack out of these costumes, but I will work with what I got ^_^

*sighs*

I have the flu:P I'm pretty sure now :P I'm hoping it goes away before class on Monday ^^"

I love the neon, I think . . . but I also think they're hilarious, especially the more I look at them . . .

*waves*

I didn't like the colour either. They were probably my second least favourite costumes after the orange top ones.

Okay, the boots were horrible. But the shorts were great :D

Hahaha yes, I was keeping an eye out for possible picwar costumes from this concert too, to see if I was up against anything too horrible.

This post takes forever to load whenever I go to comment hahah.

Aww the flu! That's major suck. D: I hope you feel better soon!

*waaaaves*

Orange is not one of my favorites, either, but . . . let's just say that picspamming the costumes made me quite enjoy the terrible ones just for the amazing attention and detail put into such atrocities ^_^

So yes, you will likely see some of these in the future . . . though it's likely we will disagree about which ones are atrocities ^_~

Not a fan of the shorts:P Not sure why, but the boots and black socks probably contribute ^^"

Duuuuude. I know it takes forever to load, but . . . I originally started with 273 caps ^^" I'm not sure how much I manage to cut it down in the end, but it's still kind of ridiculous ^^; Thank goodness my internet is good . . .

And the flu does suck :P At least I can sleep in tomorrow . . .

I believe the ppl who made the costumes have a in costume war... or maybe a bet who would come with the most hideous ones and yet the poor idols would have to model XDDD *for me the one that did the wave one and the oh yeah one are in a tie... for now XDD*

Hee! For me, it's the plant one that Nino wears in DAL, even though I've only seen fancams and stills of it. Just . . . what? Who thought taking a sequined trench and putting a bunch of cheap plastic flowers on it was a good idea? *__* I just . . . don't understand.

Though some of Jun's solo costumes are pretty special, too ^_^;

I still can't believe we're still shocked at what the boys wear to their concerts. When we all know Johnny doesn't really have particularly have great taste in clothing.XD

I LOL at "the boy" and his comments!! I think it's great that he knows who Arashi is.

But yes, we all thank you for the picspam!

*laughs*

The day I stop being horrified and ticked by Arashi costumes is the day I give up on having fun ever again . . . ^^" Besides . . . while this concert is pretty tame except in its accretion of sheer horrid detail, they're always willing to up the ante in ways we could never anticipate, as with Nino's plant costume from Dream A Live . . .

The Boy is pretty awesome&hearts He actually originally created my lj to give me someone (else) to talk about Arashi with, but in the end succumbed to the inevitable and watches pretty much everything that's subbed with me, poor thing ^^" He's a pretty good sport about it ^_^

and welcome, by the way ^_^

meh to not feeling well. I'm up now but going to crash soon.

I'm telling you, I look at Aiba's outfit and all I can think of is Punky Brewster. *__* and I think he stole the little cat toy balls from Nino's Iza outfit (ghei Rainbow Tribe) and strung them into a wallet chain *___* I don't even know.

I actually liked Ohno's solo, even if it wasn't as . . . flashy as most of his others. The clothes were unfortunate. But that's fine. He has his share of better solo clothes; this was inevitable, you know? Yes to the touching self thing ^_^

I'm very happy with the Re(mark)able choreography, though I also wondered about why they cut the Jun kick the way they did. You see it on the side and then from a distance as he lands. Not sure why. It's not like he fell or something.

If I were in that audience, and the norm had been for the boys to spread out all over the stadium, and then suddenly all five of them came skipping down the runway toward me... Well, I don't know, but there would be some kind of involuntary bodily response. ( ... )

Yeah, I sue hope they do put out a Dream "A"Live dvd, because I really want to see Gimmick Game.

Jun did look and seem to feel good here. Even shirtless, he didn't have such prominent ribs (actually, they're hardly visible at all when his arms are down like normal). And the leather jacket and jeans should long ago have been the first choice for the rock solo. No Idea why there was all that magenta and glitter in the other two outfits. I actually was able to enjoy the song this time through, since my ears weren't obstructed by the way my shoulders usually creep up to cover them as my epic cringe gets more and more pronounced ( ... )

*wants DAL so badly*

This version of tell me what you wanna be actually sounds better, seriously. I don't know if he had some more training or something just clicked or if the later production cleaned lots up or what. But it's definitely better.

The finger-sucking didn't bother me. A more than fair trade for the tongue thing which really skeeved me.

We know Jun knows how to dress himself . . . now if he would just remember how much better this looked.

Skipping&hearts I agree! The world needs more skipping, choreographed or impromptu. ^_^

Dude, I see the . . . railing, such as it is. I have action figures with more support in their stands :P If he actually lost balance, they'd be useless.

Yes, these clothes look like street clothes attacked by evil glue guns and mad bargain-bin crafters :P

Bed for me.

Did you really just watch Ringu? Every now and then I feel the urge to marathon the entire series so just last night I hit it up again and Ringu 2 and I'm currently on Rasen and 0: Birthday. And Saishusho for Nagase Tomoya! And then of course I was too freaked to sleep without the lights on and venture out to use the bathroom.

And because it would be a sin to not have an Arashi mention here- Arashi's concerts are always, always epic. I can't even pick a clear favorite. There are all these unique moments and expressions. I think Aiba performing Hello Goodbye in that costume is too precious for words, I always adore the fact that the costumers feel the need to remind us of the song titles by imprinting them on the boys. My favorite Aiba solo is probably Yokaze though (but omg what does Muay Thai have to do with the night wind I forgive you anyway Aiba since you have pretty legs); do you have one?

Yep! I had seen it maybe 5 years ago as well, but my friend was visiting last week and had never seen it, so I found it used and we watched it ^_^ I haven't seen any of the others, though. I'm actually a huge wuss re: horror ^^" I'm impressed at you going through all of them ^^"

What is it about venturing to the bathroom after horror? >_< I guess it's the combo o there not being many other reasons to leave the cocoon of covers at night and the problem of mirrors ( ... )
