Concert Roulette #022
Oh, Nemuranai Karada! Where do I even start with you! For the longest time (until, well, now XD) I had just thought of it as "That awesome, tribal-y dance part" of Iza, Now!. I mean, it IS that, but that doesn't capture the GRANDEUR of all its little wonderful details. I'm afraid I didn't do very good job of displaying all of them here (or this would be 200 caps long XD) so I'll have to just refresh your memories but leave it to you to take a closer look. :)

We transition from the start of this dance break, which happened at the end of Dangan-Linger, into a circle. An African sort of chorus picks up in the background.
One of the things I love about this performance is the sense of unity. They really create something that couldn't be matched alone. Even compared to their usual spectacle, there's something more theatrical about this number. ALSO HANDS! ♥
Sho, so lovely!
They swing their bodies all over the place in this one! The leg swinging is so violent and amazing. (What do you say, miquilis? Does "invisible lightsaber" or "invisible horses" take the mime prize this time? :DD)
aslkjdfkjk AUGH, definitely one of my favorite parts! Aiba practically tackles Sho here. The hand on his hip, oh so much love. They just look like they are having so much fun and having it together.
So coooool, I really love the isolated movements here. Especially Ohno's as that's his specialty.
Double pointing! Aiba being his sweetly sexy self, he looks like he's just dancing for his own sake right now. :) Also, he is making his outfit look far too normal and flattering to no one's surprise.
How do they sometimes look like MODELS in the middle of intense dancing?
So much attitude is contained in these three frames! ♥
I took shockingly few good Ohno ones this time so let's savor this frame. :D
Oh god, gird your loins! It's Nino solo time and you know what that means.
Nino is trying to charm your pants off!
YOU WIN AGAIN, NINO.
I find the Sho and Aiba team particularly compelling this go around!
I love this turn sequence. So hot.
Ah, this is such a perfect angle! This whole part of the song brings up such excellent hips.
ALL SHALL LOVE ME OR DESPAIR
Okay, okay, I forgot to include all the caps but all these "adjusting their bodies" moves are really fun. EXCEPT SHO MOVING HIS HEAD WINS BECAUSE IT LEADS TO THIS ♥
Body rooooooll and Aiba looking adorable while dancing! ♥
Nino wiggling his little fingers can never be passed up!
AH. I LOVE this section. It seems vaguely... tantric to me. Man, I am not at all spiritual but I want to devote myself to the practice of hot Arashi dancing. I will study the Arashic sutra.
I feel like Nino gets a lot of play in this editing, maybe because he commits himself so fully to the action.

*grabby hands*
Mmmm, that sweat on Sho is distracting. Can I just applaud the costume person who decided to give Sho a shirt that slowly falls off when he dances all out? Nino continues to make great faces.
This sort of thing is such a staple of Arashi, sequentially moving on the beat, and I fall for it every time.
Okay maybe I should have done this all along! Instead of making this spam another 20 caps longer, I'm going to condense the last 40 seconds as I cannot possibly capture their glory. Things to note:
1) I didn't go out of my way to note it before but finally, I will talk about my number one kink in this song: the BARE FEET. This should happen more often. There's something so grounded and sensual about seeing someone move on just their bare feet. I was mesmerized just watching them shift their weight. We get a particular great shot of Nino's feet in this which I why I mention it now.
2) Ohno's bicep! You'll know it when you see it. :)
3) Nino being ridiculous all over this choreography!
4) Jun's version of the FLYING FISTS or "violent back massage" move, ah I love it! ♥
