Arashi

And I'm back from...haven't been here for a while. *kicks schedule very hard*

Thanks gacktsama for the clips. Watched the RIGHT BACK TO YOU performance and thought it was kakkoii! The jedi-looking lightsabers and such, the guys weren't that synchronized though. But I still liked the performance. W/ME - no comment. It just wasn't my type of performance. Aiba-chan's Itsuka no Summer~ okay so I'm being bias here and totally love the performance...I like how he danced with an uchiwa XD And Himitsu, the cute dance! When I heard Nino was going to have a cute dance, I just couldn't wait to see it XD

Anyways internet is being an ass right now and I'm constantly getting disconnected so I'll end my post now. And those who are waiting for WSS part 2 on ysi...wait longer because ysi hates me right now (and so does internet XP)

so after listening to one album fro so many times these are my favourites:

yes/no, subarashi sekai, w/me and natsu no namae...

seems like i listen too much yes/no lately:)

We (<b>xiaowanzi</b> and me) did try to plan a meet-up at the Summer Fest but wasn't really sure how to XD anyway we could do it one day for fans here.

I just watched the 'Right Back To You' clip - :rofl: Samurai Jedis.

That's okay... i am sure we'll meet up someday :hehe:

Being nino's die-hard fan, his dance makes me love him even more, though I thought he looked a little embarrassed at the end of the performance. :mrgreen:

Right back to u perforance is realli great n Jun is really farni with the "Katsukeso Samba" look! I really can't wait for the concert DVD to be out!

Thank you!!!!!!!! I couldnLt find these lyrics anywhere :mrgreen:

About the clips of ONE con... :nut: ... our guys are crazy, I love them!!!!!!!!
JunLs solo was very funny :rofl: ... I know it didnLt suppouse to make me laugh, but I just couldnLt help it.
The Natsu no namae clip with Jun in that gold yukata is priceless... the other guys were like: :hehe:
SHoLs Yume de ii kara seems enjoyable... I love that song, but didnLt like the *girl chorus* :sweat: I would prefered ShoLs voice in the background too.
Ohno... wow, this guy is such a great dancer :dancing: ... I like that in all his solos (at least Top Secret, SoSoSo, and this one) his dancing is so perfect and rythmic, and he looks so light, like heLs flying... great job leader!!!!!
Right Back to You... liked the outfits and the idea but I missed the *Rap part-followed by Ohno solo* :puppydog: I just love when Sho sings: Shiki ori futatabi bounce baby, freaky freaky freaky night dance baby... and then the change in music for OhnoLs:Akuru ban mo mada mada houinai...

Anyway, BIG thanx, GacktSama-chan!!!!!!!


Ah!!!! I want to watch the ONE DVD so bad!!!!!! :woot:

Heya! Wow, loads more pages.

@ dalinee - thankyou so much...I'm gonna download it straight away. :woot:

Thankyou for all the other downloads....and Jun's solo :hot: :hehe:

I just can't wait for the ONE dvd. :bow:

what songs do yall like from one? :woot: yes?no? is kinda my favorite

i finally got my limited edition ONE album today and have been listening to it non-stop since this morning.

my top 5 songs:

1. Subareshi Sekai
2. Sakura Sake
3. Days
4. Natsu no Namae
5. W/Me ( for the tune not the lyrics)

as u can see from my choice, i loved it best when all 5 guys are singing together. they blend so well as a group and Arashi to me is when all 5 sings together in different parts.

Edit:

i changed my mind, i liked Kaza Midori better than W/Me after hearing it on the regular edition. :sweat:

on the whole, i liked this album although my favorite album is still Iza, Now for the time being.. :woot: :woot:

Yume
Pikanchi

PV would be lucky man. Its soo catchy. O_O

well...come on...not many of us listen to arashi for the lyrics (aside from HOW its sung...not whats being sung)

not a ton of us really understand japanese enough to know whats being said.

its ok to like a song for whatever reason. no need to justify it. sometimes its ok to like something for no reason at all

Top 5 ONE(descending order)

5.Lai-Lai-Lai/Yume de iikara
4.Rain
3.Itsuka no Summer
2.Subarashii Sekai
1.Days

After my computer rests for a while, I'll upload the rest of the concert...

From ONE album, my top 5:

1. Lai lai lai
2. Subarashi Sekai
3. Natsu no namae
4. Yume de ii kara
5. Rain

thank you <b>GacktSamaChachamaru</b> for uploading the ONE clips ^^ <333 let me know if you need help with uploading clips on YSI ^^

a little late to join in the "singing voice" discussion, but here are my thoughts ^^;;

<i>Ohno-kun:</i> of course Leader has a great voice ^^ good pitch, good control, vibrato, resonance, all that great stuff ^^ he has the best high range of the group as well.

<i>Sho-kun:</i> since his main focus has always been rapping, i don't think he got as much vocal training as the rest of the boys. he doesn't have the resonance and when he sings in the higher end of his range, he tends to wobble a bit. especially live. but he sings very sincerely and sweetly ^^ and yes, 'm biased xD

<i>Aiba-kun:</i> he actually has a pretty rich tone when they let him sing in his range. unfortunately, since most (if not all) of Arashi's fans are girls, as is the case with most jpop boys, they make them sing rather high so that girls can sing along comfortably. his voice gets reedier at the higher end and he tends to sound a little strained. but still, pretty rich tone and his voice is kind of the highest in Arashi, listening to him skreek and skrawk in real life when he's excited xD

<i>Ninomiya-kun:</i> mm, don't really like his singing voice when he's singing high, which is what he usually does for his Arashi solos. too reedy, gets too nasal. but when he's singing softer and lower, it's pretty ^^

<i>Matsumoto-kun:</i> once again with the forcing jpop boys to sing higher than they are comfortably able... one can tell with his speaking voice that his voice is actually pretty low. dearest Matsujun has a tendency to go all chipmunky in his higher ranges (Sakura Sake's "ŠX‚̉¹‚Í" always makes us squint), but he has a very pretty voice when he sings lower.

so from favorite to least favorite, my order would be Ohno > Aiba > Sho > Matsujun > Nino ^^

<b>Top 5 from ONE CD:</b>
05 Lai-Lai-Lai
04 Subarashiki Sekai
03 Yes? No?
02 Yume de Ii Kara
01 Sakura Sake

thanks Gacksama for the clips n_n

about the ONE´s songs, which I like are:

-himitsu
-yume de ikara
-yes? no?
-subarashiki subai

more or less in that order :mrgreen:
I have to say that I like Arashi more for their shows than for their music, cos it´s not the kind of music that I usually like listening and couse I think that the best singer in Arashi is Ohno-chan.
Nino makes it well too, but I think they aren´t very good singers, sorry it´s only what I think ^^u
I prefer them like funny guys that make me laugh a lot with their shows, they are very nice :dancing:

OMG, I feel like celebrating right now cuz I FINALLY finished reading and now I can finally post!!! :dancing:
And although it looks like I've been on this board all night, that's only because I actually fell asleep while reading the thread last night and left my laptop on!! :omg: I apologize ahead of time for when I backtrack a lot of topics. :sweat:

First off - the usual stuffs: :wave:
Welcome newbies lorac81 [you must share those e-mail addresses with us!! if there is even the slightest hope that we could reach them then I say go for it! o_o], Lingi, Shinobu, and paito-chan!
Thank yous to dunadan, kinkitsuyo (;)), Shibien, kkl, buzzybug, nacchan, srubia, bella-italia, and an8id for the great downloads and pics! And especially thank you to vargrant_dreams for Iza, Now and GacktSama for the Top Secret translation (;)) and ONE performances!

And even though I probably mentioned this before, but since I've been listening to the RadioBlog at amnos.net non-stop, my Top Five ONE Tracks are:
1. Sakura Sake (makes me wanna :metaldevil: everytime!)
2. Subarashiki Sekai (I just know the translation is going to be awesome)
3. Rain (LEE_DAH!! =^.^=)
4. Yes? No?
5. Lai-Lai-Lai

And I don't know if many of you guys are aware of this or not, but OHNO DOES HIS OWN CHOREOGRAPHY.
That's right. For his Rain solo (which I haven't watched yet cuz YSI hates me and I have yet to open clubbox :shamefulcry:), he actually made up his routine in 2 hours on the train! [you guys can read it for yourselves here!]
I know for sure that he also made up the excellent routine for Top Secret (it's somewhere in www.amnos.net). I don't know about the rest of his solos, but we now know for sure that Leader has strong and MAD dance skills! :mrgreen:

Ok, that's it for this post, even though I have tons more to say. I don't wanna kill you all with a MegaPost! :sweat:

[EDIT: I just watched the Rain performance 3 times and I must say, Ohno-kun certainly has his own style! You can just recognize the vibe and even a few particular dance moves from Top Secret! I love how there was one moment where Leader went a beat ahead of his backup dancers! :sweat: Poor boys, they can't keep up with their sempai's smooth moves! That's our Dance King! :rofl:]

hello guys.... how difficult to keep up with you... :sweat: i've been looking for arashi all over the internet.. i've read interesting translations for interviews and all that stuff.... el desocupe... :omg: ... but is really fun to know more things about the boys. i'm planning to buy the album ONE... *asking-dad-for-money* :mrgreen:

Lucky you! I was just going through my translations file for Rain [EDIT: :sweat: I finally found them. Thanks for originally posting, dalinee!] and saw that you need this:

La Familia Translation and Lyrics

Really a sweet song! Aw, MatsuJun...
You know, it's okay to depend on us every once in a while! That's a part of what a messege board is about! :sweat:
So don't feel intimidated, okay? :patpat:
As you can see, our own members [EDIT] posted these lyrics! :mrgreen: Thank you arwenna and sawadasmile!
[For some reason, lyrics to ARASHI solos are really hard to find (probably because most were performed in concert only).]

For some reason, lyrics to ARASHI solos are really hard to find (usually because most were performed in concert only).

violomana, i'll have to disabuse you of the notion that the members on this board translated the lyrics for La Familia. yes i did post it originally many pages ago but i did not translate this beautiful song.

i found the lyrics in one of the many websites that i visited while searching for Arashi related articles and items. Kudos goes to ames (i think that's the name of the Arashi fan who did the actual translation - my bad for not remembering).

paito_chan - these are some of the websites you can go to for lyrics:
www.idolthoughts.com
iro-asenaide.org
www.amnos.net (get from rising storm, fanstuff)
absolute-baka.net
http://www.geocities.com/jpoplyricstation/Arashi/Arashi.html

Thanks for the correction, arwenna. :sweat:
Uh... "disabuse"? *looks it up* Wow! Cool word!
*is not very bright* :bonk:

BTW: I know of ames too! I've been going through her LJs and community posts lately, so if anyone else wants to check out her translations there (it's where I also got that ONE MC report on Ohno's dancing!). :mrgreen:

yeah, i agree with you, most of my favorite songs are when they sing as a group not solo. their voice kinda compliments each other. so my top5 fav are:
1. Natsu no Namae
2. Sakura Sake
3. Subarashiki Sekai
4. Overture
5. Days

actually i wanna squeez in yes?no? but i'll be on my top6 favorites among the songs. this is just my second arashi's album so cant really compare with the rest but i find this one better than "here we go".

Thank u GacktSamaChachamaru for the clips.... I'm like totally amazed by everybody special skill of hunting out clips/shows/etc.... And i thank-u everyone for sharing...cause without everybody's help... i probably wouldnt see majority of the clips/shows/cms u guys post.... so big thanks...

anyway to my comments....

i remember my reaction to fybabe's description of jun's solo... first thought wow... sexy i wanna see... and the 2s clip from the news was like..yup yup looks definitely sexy i really wanna see... now the fan cam... sorry i have to agree with the majority.... i was so corny... i really could help laughing at some bits... hopefully with some skillful editing... jun will look kakkoi in dvd version...*fingers cross*

my fav must be ohno's... man he looks hot... and i'm really feeling that nsync vibe....but then again im bias cus i love the song...

hoho... sho's dancing reminded me of tsubasa... haha must be the stick thingy... but i did like the perf...

aiba's and nino's not much to comment but their dancing was sweet...

Natsu no Namae perf... i could stop staring at jun's costume...(was this when he didnt have time to change?) all that sparkling gold...hahaha so funny... changed the whole kakkoi/slick image of the original look...and arashi definately sing live!!! prove?!! cus ohno makes a lttle mistake at the begining...jun was like what... and go up to him...ohno tries hard not to crack up....hahaha....

I must say the fancam was pretty steady... apart from when the guys moved to different stage...wah... shake like mad *feel real dizzy*
