Productivity, Part 2: How's It Going Concert

Apr 28, 2008 20:33

Here are more of the fruits of my procrastination.

I give you a massive picspam of concert love, accompanied by mp3s from the concert.

Warning: I'm not kidding about the pictures. It will take a while to load. But in return, I give you mp3s.

Flist--I hope the frequency of posts doesn't bother you. I hope the files make up for it:D

Enjoy.

Click here for massive amounts of pictures, random commentary, and mp3 links. )

arashi, clearly i need more sleep, crackdom, mp3 downloads, concert

Sho's VTR was SO sexy. How do they all manage to do dorky and sexy at the same time, HOW FLANGE HOW

I DO NOT GET AIBA THE GARTER-WEARING BOXER EITHER
WHO, WHAT???

ANYWAY, I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY I LOVE TE AGERO WITH ALL MY WHIPPED FANGIRL HEART
HAVE YOU READ A TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS??

No, but now I'm going to have to . . . damn it. :) I don't get the garter AT ALL. Um . . . But I kind of like the song and performance, so I have graciously decided to overlook it. do you think they have any control over solo clothes? Because . . . damn. Aiba and Jun . . .

Um that VTR . . . *breathes* Though I find the juxtaposition of the VTR when he's wearing the same pants kind of hilarious with the sweater. Because the sweater says "Meet the parents" to me for some reason. Not so much the WHITE SATIGN PANTS, I guess, but . . .

My non-fangirl, but mostly supportive friend, who has agreed to delay the intervention until I actually miss a deadline will unabashedly flail with me over Sho and she sort of adores Ohno mostly for his Utaban appearances, needs to see this performance. She will lose her mind:)

In case you didn't find it, Te Agero translation:
http://denise-dinc.vox.com/library/post/arashi-lyric-translations---te-agero.html

Although I will say that I think what s/he writes as 'la tormenta steelo' should be 'la tormenta estilo' i.e. 'storm style'. Ok, done nitpicking.

/nitpicking

LOL

OMG, the lyrics . . . straightest thing ever. ^_^::

Ok, that was . . . kind of awesome in every way. I need to go back and listen to that song again . . . when it's not 3am . . .

"It’s a Disney Princess Toga Party!!"

Oooh... my... gosh. I thought I had seen it all. I really did. But this one, this one takes the cake!!

Now you are totally driving me to go see this concert video... like RIGHT NOW!! lol.

No complaints by me. ;)

Seriously, if you haven't seen this, you should, if for no other reason than the insane costume crack.

Sadly, it wasn't until Iza that they really seemed to rachet up the member interaction and personality, but this concert does have a lot to recommend it. The Disney princess costumes are amazing in motion, the Lucky man black pants are to die for, and the robot dance has to be seen to be believed&hearts

I highly endorse watching this right now. and if you enjoy it, feel free to come by and 'wth' at me, because it's amazing in so many ways.

And I haven't even mentioned the disco clowns of DOOOOOOOOOOOM ^^;

See, I HAVE seen the Disco-dancing clowns - only because my friend linked its perf for me, telling me I needed to see its epic horror~ness.

but God, do I love the hip shaking in it. It's just as good as the Kitto Daijobou chorus hip-shaking. And this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9uwSPYHj5c) has now made me love the outfits (if only for the dance). But I will go watch now (only YT vids available until I can DL the whole thing :( ).

*laughs*

The hip-shaking is pretty fantabulous, really&hearts

But the fros and the high fives, low fives and all just crack me up, as do their general facial expressions of horrified disbelief. It's one of the few performances where you can actually see a little bit of wtf creeping out . . . usually they're pretty good at sublimating that, but . . . this was perhaps just a bit much even for them ^^"

I notice the wigs never make a return even though the costumes do for AAA Taipei . . . I wonder if they put their collective food down on that . . .

edit

That video was adorable! Thank you for linking to it&hearts I think I will go watch it again!

hmmm . . . now the question I have is this. . . should I watch Kokuritsu or HIG tonight?

tough choice . . . I suppose both, if I started soon . . .

Thank you so much for ripping these concerts! And I have to say: it totally sounds like "spartacus" and now that's all I hear too! Hilarious!

*flails*

I will spread the word of Spartacus \o/

The Boy (my husband) is very proud of that. Now I'm always slightly let down when Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi is sung without 'I'm Spartacus) as in the AAA 2008 ^^" But It's funny that no matter how many times I listen, it's still there ^_^

I'm so glad you grabbed the files ^_^ Enjoy!

Auuuuugh! ^^" The Gay Rainbow Clown Brigade ^^" They are special ^^"

And I'm glad you enjoy the reviews ^_^ They were fun to do . . . someday, I may go back and do a more . . . thorough job . . . without the mp3s ^^"

YAY for perking up \o/

LOL... i wish the rainbow clowns would be back again someday! though it's a less likely chance to see them anytime soon, i guess. anyway i'm still hoping for a real funny concert like they had in the past (which i had missed)~~ XD

well, i'll be waiting for your detailed reviews anytime~ ; ))

thanks again! ^^

I know! I have a sort of horrified affection for the clown outfits ^^" Although the crazy of JE costumes is alive and well for the most part . . .

*remembers Time concert and the technicolor pheasants*

But the Kokuritsu concert needed more insanity, I feel ^_~

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the post ^_^ Sometime I think I will revisit these concerts more exhaustively ^_^

Thanks for stopping by and commenting ^_^
