overall, it's a great album. not becoz i like —’ from the beginning but it is a great album. i just love how they put Oh Yeah! as the starter track. it's a great song and it's got a nice beat to it.

what annoys me is, i notice that a lot of jazz were put in some songs like WAVE and some other songs. And i think that's just so wrong and ruins the song itself. Coz i feel that the voices of —’ members are just not right to be put alongside jazz music, there voice doesn't create the jazzy feeling. also the song Cry for You is probably the worst song in the album, it's not pop and yeah i think it's not rock, it sounds like dangdut to me. Really corny. so i guess there was only 3 songs that i thought sucked. but hell, the album is great. For you guys who hasn't bought or DL-ed it (which probabaly aren't any in this thread), it's actually really worth listening to :thumbsup: , better get it :D .

--------------

guess the only thing waiting for me is that limited AAA :hehe:

ah monta, different strokes for different folks ne? I love Cry For You and l know quite a number of fans who loved it too :D

I'm restraining myself from being spoiled further.. but Nino's Niji.. just makes it worth buying the Limited Ed (even though it lacks the 28-page photobook :S)

have fun watching AAA once you have it! :D[/b]

waaaaaahhaaaaaaaahhaaaaah
you've already did a review rupanya...
i didn't bother to backread :bonk:

Eh?! I like Cry For You.. where's the dangdut in there come from?
Cry for you!!! Die For You!!!! ... ok, it sound like malay rock kapak a bit :bonk:
Wave is just... i dunno.. i kinda like it. My personal favourite is at 2.55 min.. KazuSho... ~<3 Sho sounded really awesome in this album

I don't like Everybody Zenshin.. euuuuwww, euuuuwwww.. sounded like cheesy clubbing song.. kylie minogue (is that how you spell her name) doing the locomotive. :bleh:
Kaze is lukewarm.. but I'm beginning to like it after replaying the whole album on repeat.

My top picks from this album is Carry On, Be With You & LIFE. All in all , the whole album is good.

and monta, you need to listen to Niji. Its Nino's solo in the limited edition. I have the radio rip version if you want to listen to his awesomeness.. he wrote the lyrics himself...
KYAAAAAAAAAA~<3 :smitten:

Currently listening to the songs from Time...Firefly sounds like Nsync's :hehe:
Enjoying every single of em..Need to play it few times than I can pick my favourites :mrgreen:

sumoboy translated the article on Sho. THANKS SUMO-CHAN!!

A first for an idol. Arashifs Sho in the Upper House Elections. Sakurai Sho will be a presenter in NTVfs TV Special

On July 9th, it was announced that Sakurai Sho from the popular group Arashi will be a presenter in the debate in NTVfs special coverage program, [ZeroXElections 2007], of the Upper House elections on July 29th. This is the first time that an idol has taken part in an elections special program. At a young age of 25, he is going to be a efacef an elections in which there is a possibility where the ruling party could loose its power. He says eHow do people of my generation get a grip of this election? I want to bring the message across to many people, to think about the future of Japan.f
Sakurai, who started as a newscaster last October would be dissecting the elections and predicting what the future of Japan would be.
He will take part in the 2nd leg of the election coverage, and as a presenter, he will be discussing topics such as pension plans, problems of disparities in society, what would be the qualities of an ideal prime minister/leader etc. He will lead an thorough debate in the studio together with people who will be responsible for the future of Japan like 20-40 year old politicians, entertainers, and also the average-Joe..
The first part of the special will be hosted by “‡“ca•i‚T‚Pj and Kobayashi Mao (24)Athis is an important election which could see the Liberal Democratic Party lose its majority and result in the resignation of Prime Minister Abe. They will have a discussion about what will happen to Japan going forward, with breaking news as necessary.
On the HP, it says that it recognizes that eSakurai san is the suitable candidate to engage the younger population to think about politics, a topic which is rather unpopular among the younger generationf.A graduate in Economics from Keio University, Sakurai, who shows promise as a talented newscaster says e When I am on Zero, my awareness of the elections became stronger. As part of the Zero banner, I wanted to play a part in thisf. With his strong motivation, it was decided that he would be also part of the program.
Sakurai also attends the postmortem meetings after each live airing of Zero, and has increased his knowledge about upper house elections in the special lectures that has been held. eHow do people of my generation view the elections? For what reasons do they cast their vote. I have a lot to ask. For that, firstly, I have to go to the elections.fhe says.
On that day, Arashi will be holding 2 concerts at the Yokohama Arena. A voter, an idol, a special presenter. This 25 year old, who will play 3 different roles in one day, says with great conviction eThe outcome of the elections will shape the future of Japan. This is the message I want to bring to many people.f

Erm, I was expecting more coz this is a good album (though obviously I don't buy it)...Arashi need to have an index number of more than 60000 to pass 200k mark on the first day. Maybe they'll have 150k-160k tops in the first week? Let's see how far the drop is today to make new assumption...

I was expecting more too & TIME really is good.
Burnout fangirls. Too many things to spend on. HYD dvd, Kiiroi Namida, singles, AAA dvd & photobook, concert, magz, etc.etc... :sweat:
Even I'm feeling overwhelmed although I don't buy much.
Its too bad if my prediction came true.
They are having a case of overexposure.
Will they even have the time to promote the album now they are EXTREMELY busy with the concert & drama? The busiest are Nino & Sho...
I'm really looking forward for their performance in Music Station & other music programs but haven't heard any news on that.

They need a break.

ano... reviewlah kat lj.. aku nak baca :P

Hmm, probably true. I wonder how eito will fare in the last 3 months of 2007, with rumored releases of a single, concert DVD and photobook 3 months in a row! I'll be burnt out! :mrgreen:
