Aug. 1st, 2010 01:16 amomffggggg how did the album get leaked already, you guys!??
But -- I'M NOT COMPLAINING 8DDD
At the same time, they picked a really inopportune time for the album to get leaked
Today TJ and I planned a small date for our 6 year anniversary. We did a picnic and then went to check out the horse races at the local race track. We made these cold sandwiches that were really quite good with lots of basil and garlic and olive oil and baguettes and tomatoes and just yummm 
We also made a pasta salad and we bought a potato salad because that was getting to be a lot of food makingz. So we headed off to the park, and found a really nice little gazebo and it was really pleasant until a giant Hindi family decided that they were going to have a family photo shoot there with an obnoxiously loud camera lady. She kept yelling like, "Look at the camera! NO THE CAMERA!! SMILE GRANDMA!! SMILE! WHY AREN'T YOU SMILING--NO, DON'T LOOK AT HER MARIE, LOOK AT THE CAMERA"
I probably wouldn't have minded if she wasn't so damn loud and just kept making noises and shit.
Well anyway, after that we went over to the races and we got there in time to see 3 races. We bet on 5 different horses, and only won one of them..
; The last race, and we won $2.20 which essentially means that we lost $7.80
hurrr lol but it was an interesting experience at least, and next week they're racing ostriches and camels... I think we're gonna try to get over there and see it because they've been having free admission this season 
OKAY SO TO TALK ABOUT THE ALBUM.
I LOVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TRACK EVEN THOUGH MATSUJUN'S VOICE IS AUTO-TUNED AND I THINK MADA UE WO IS LIKE GOING TO BE ON REPEAT FOREVERRRRR


As for the SOLOs, I love Nino's, Sho's, and Jun's, and I've only listened to Aiba's once but it's not what I was expecting sadly
I'm going to give it some more listens before I make any judgment... BUT I will say that Ohno's solo seriously sounds like every single other solo he's done and... I am just not impressed 
BUT OTHER THAN THAT HOLY CRAP THIS IS A GREEEEEAAATTTT ALBUM


So many of their songs remind me of their old songs -- the ones that were like all 60's-70's inspired. And I keep imagining them in CONCERT FORMAT which is like the COOLEST thing ever and it is making me even more excited and nervous about the ballot results
In other news, I saw these posted up on AnJ and so I wanted to translate them
I've been wanting to translate a magazine article lately but I think these j-webs are a good quick length that I can get my translation itches out into. So, without further ado here we go!

Boku no Miteiru Fuukei - Sho's Message:
Hello.
It's summer.
It's Sakurai.
Finally, Arashi's new original album in 2 years has dropped.
There are a LOT of new songs from this.
Cool songs, warm songs, songs to get pumped to... etc.
I'd be happiest if you find one song to your liking.
Personally...
I wrote a few rap lyrics.
And then, there was something that I realized at age 28.
Me.
I live my life like the type of person who does all their summer homework at the last minute.
If there's no deadline, I don't do anything.
If I'm not in a hurry, my writing doesn't progress.
All you little ones out there.
Whatever you do, please don't turn into an adult like me.
Well...
Even so, there were 3 or 4 times where we kept re-recording, so we've got a finished piece that we're satisfied with so please look forward to it.
It's 20 songs in all.
Thank you very much!
Sakurai Sho
Too late, Sho. As I was translating this all I could think was "HOLY CRAP YOU AND I ARE TOO SIMILAR."

vol.65
『It's here, it's here!』
It's me, Matsumoto Jun, who plays Taiga
Are you watching the drama "Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku"?
Thank you
Next up is the 3rd episode.
It feels like it's breaking into a full-fledged love story
I hope that you can be excited for it
Gimme a kyun kyun(Kyun is like the feeling of your chest tightening during romantic movies and such. It was so much cuter as "kyun" so I decided to keep it)
This week the concert rehearsals have started
I keep feeling like I can't believe it's already started~
Summer is always different...
If we were going with the usual, it's usually comprised of not really feeling summer-y, and going back and forth between the rehearsal room and my house, but...
This year I'm shooting for the drama, so I'm breathing fresh air, and feeling summer.
The choreography and business meetings we haven't had in a while have become pretty deep
We're dancing this year too~
Look forward to it
Next week, the album is coming out so listen to it and guess what you think it'll be like
Different than any other year, I want to sparkle rainbow color from a deep love
Or something like that
Well then, everyone else please look forward to summer too~

Regarding Jun's message, I just want to wish them good luck with rehearsals and filmings... :D

Date: 2010-08-01 08:17 am (UTC)I liked the Solo very much! Nino's was fantastic (lyric and voice), also Jun's.... it was really... unexpected! I really liked it (I had a shower with that song in the background and I thought " Ah I'm so cool" XD).
I admit that my first impression of Aiba and Ohno's song was like yours: Ohno always has the same kind of song... and Aiba...what's this?! XD Then a friend of mine told me that she liked a lot these two songs (and she hates Aiba!) so I had to listen them again... and well, I like Aiba's rhytme (but I omit his "yeah" that makes me burst out laughing) and reminds me of a children's song°_° And Ohno's well...now I really like it XD especially his voice in the chrous.
Anyway all the songs remind me of...Perfume°_° is it possible?XD
For Sho's message ... *raises hand* if I haven't a deadline...I don't do anything...U_U"

no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 03:45 pm (UTC)Ostrich and camels. What the.. EEH? xD
Am liking the album more at each listen. Aiba's solo takes... time. (T_T) Also have to agree on Ohno's.
Anyhow. THANK YOU for the J-Web translations. ^^
no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 04:24 pm (UTC)I took a listen to Aiba's solo again last night with headphones, and I liked it quite a bit more.. but his little 'Yeaah' makes me laugh every time I hear it
no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 04:27 pm (UTC)Am too liking it a bit more. It'll be perfect for when I go to the gym, demo... I wanted an Itsuka no Summer feeling. There isn't much... musicality to this one.
I want brass with his voice! -_-
Have a whole day to yourself... Hum. From my experience with my ex-boyfriend, living together resulted in a major drop in quality time together. Please be careful, the both of you. ^^ Though, six years. I don't think you share any piece of advice from me. ;)

Date: 2010-08-01 04:50 pm (UTC)Can I ask/suggest you to put an head up also on
Talking about the contents of jwebs... procrastination it's a form of art, Shochan XDDDDD
As for Jun... he is always deep, and loves promotion... I hope the ratings will go up ç__ç
no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 05:22 pm (UTC)Oh... while I was reading Sho's post I was thinking: "This kind of comes late... but I am glad we are similar" hahahaaha!!!. Isn't it nice to have things in common with them?!
Jun post is cute. I am glad he is back to his concert duties, he sure loves them.
Thank you for the translations!
The new album is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! It really made my heart go kyun kyun!
Ohno's solo is... I have no words to express his solo.
I think this is my favorite album so far!

Date: 2010-08-02 10:02 am (UTC)Long time not seeing your post in arashi on ^ ^
Album. Yes, got a mental shock when I saw it in anj. My sister said, certain countries got their online order fast than others (don't sure about this), that's the case with single too. But, we're not complaining, deshou XDDD.
Love everyone's solos. Though I agree with you on Ohchan's. His is one of the best song in the album, but really just a repeat of his other previous solos. And I can somewhat imagine his choreo to be almost the exact same atmosphere with previous solos too > <.
What I'm really curious is Nino's solo choreo for concert. I would really like to see him active, dancing all around. Aiba's...can see him running around already XDDD. Sho-kun, would definitely be surround with dancers ^ ^. Jun's...aaahhh typical Jun's solos ne, glamour n parading XDD.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-02 10:06 am (UTC)I'm really focussing on Album here XDD. But, let's put a bit here. My fave in Album (not solo) is Refrain. Yours?
Read your translation ^^ . Always , superb ne ^ ^
Am always meaning to add/join you. But, I read that you don't add people anymore. > <

Date: 2010-08-02 02:52 pm (UTC)and, happy anniversary (sorry, I'm late XD)
I'm like Sho too.... T___T I need to be pressured or else I'll just be fooling around doing nothing T_T
and about the album I've to say this: I agree with you about mada ue wo, it's been on repeat since I got the album... It's awesome *____* Best track, for me :D
But... my fav solo is Aiba's one! When I was listening to it I couldn't stop smiling and imagining him dance :D It's lovely! Ohno's... yeah... bit disappointed BUT his voice always makes me change my mind a bit XDDD
Have a nice week^^!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-03 03:24 am (UTC)As for Aiba's solo, the next couple times I listened to it I could totally imagine him jumping around and dancing and having so much fun while singing this song... so I'm excited to see it in concert ^^
no subject
Date: 2010-08-02 04:04 pm (UTC)I also like Sho's and Nino's solo. At first I don't like Matsujun's solo since I'm expecting a Naked-like song. But then as I listen again and again, I think I like it now more than Nino's solo. I also think that Ohno's solo sounds the same in his previous solo but I like his voice so I don't mind ^__^ I like Aiba's solo the least. *sad*
As for the other songs, I really really like Circus. Every time I hear it, I remember Fame movie. I also like kagerô, Summer Splash!, Refrain, Gift, and Mukae ni Iku yo ^^
no subject
Date: 2010-08-02 10:49 pm (UTC)Ah concert rehearsals already, I wish I could go to their concert. Busy time for Matsujun it seems.
