So, JE decided that La Tormenta is getting old meme so they were like, hey, I have an idea, let's write them a new song that's really sweet and instead of them rapping about cute things about each other, (because you know, that's not hip hop) let's get them to rap about how hot they are and how women can't even handle all of the hot!!!!!!
.......and they did and they named it COOL & SOUL and put it on the ARASHIC album.
The performance is jizztastic. Not feeling the fake leopard print outfits though. IF YR GONNA DO ANIMAL PRINT MAKE IT REAL. lolll j/k or am I.
COOL & SOUL

The clouds that obscure the sun's rays, not "here" but "far, far away"
A throw close to every 10 seconds, a figure looking up, always high in the sky
Century, millennium, traveling all over, scaling high walls
Dawn after a long night, morning, thirsty from being blown by the swift winds
The clouds that obscure the sun's rays, not "here" but "far, far away"
A throw close to every 10 seconds, a figure looking up, always high in the sky
Century, millennium, traveling all over, scaling high walls

ARASHI IS BACK!
(1) If you don't know by now that ARASHI means storm then you need to get off my internet.
(1.1) I can't explain to you how amazing this line is. It is alliteration and inside rhyme paradise so I tried to carry over the abundant use of 's's' into english.
(2) You make the kanji for arashi with the characters 'mountain' and 'wind.'
(3) This word for create is more like creating a sensation.
(4) Amaterasu; Shinto goddess of the sun.
(5) Okay, this is hard to explain, anatagata technically means 'you all' but it's used when you want to flatter the group that you're talking to, which in this case is probably us, the ladies.
(6) If you don't know by now that ARASHI are idols then you need to get off my internet. What an 'idol' is is basically a pop idol, but the japanese pop idol is different from the western interpretation of what an idol is but i'm not going too in depth because i could seriously write my senior thesis on this topic.
