Hitomi no Naka no Galaxy


[... whuaaaaaaahh yang protes banyak deh.... hahahahaha.. yosh.. ini lengkap neh review PLUS screen caps nya ^___^ *ngumpet dari para fans Arashi*]


Its the ost [original soundtrack] for Ninomi's newest dorama with Kyoko Fukada, Minami no Koibito, unless you're not an Arashi fan or you've been vacationing deep in the forest with the bears, you should know that by now ^__^ I personally LOVE the song, it complimented the dorama very well. Although its a ballad, its not too mushy mushy, just sweet enough to make it a sweet love song. Many Arashi fans said that the PV reminds them of Tomadoinagara PV. Hmmm... except for the guys were in a suits, and its a ballad, i don't know which part that reminds them of the other PV. Wait.. don't shoot the writer, I love Tomadoinagara as well, but the mood that these two PV creates are different, at least to me. Maybe because the two songs although both were use for doramas, the two doramas were different, so from that angle itself you already got a different feeling from it. But lets not get deep into this shall we, let's just enjoy the view ^__*

There are two part from the guys itself that are my favourite in this Hitomo no Naka no Galaxy PV, hmmm Sakurai Sho's part are not counted for because being me.. just having him sitting there doing absolutely nothing is enough to make me go gaga LOL... *pletak pletak diri yang makin mabok!* hahahahahaha

Anyway... the first was the emerge of the guys. First on the screen, came Ninomi already sitting down on a theater stage kinda thing, then Leader joined in looking kakkoi, brings in his killer voice to make the song into a duet. Then the three stooges.. i mean the other three members came on the screen but its as if they're on different stage but with the same city at night background, with aiba and matsujun sitting down on the steps while sho standing behind matsujun. then the two "stages" were emerge into one perfect fit, showing the complete Arashi in one stage looking good as a group. Its a few second thing but i just love the concept. Like it doesn't matter from which angle you look at them, the five indviduals look good together as one group. I like that.








The other part that i like is when they showed Ninomi's guitar solo. Arrghh... this kind of scene that made me pay close attention to him and Arashi at the beginning of my madness. They should do this more often, Arashi members playing musical instruments. But in this PV, with Ninomi playing his guitar is just pure coolness all around ^_^




got no complaint here from all Arashi fans i think... all members look so kakkoi... not overdone or lack of anything. just perfect!






"Iza.. Now"
Arashi 4th Album... out now.

*put on my earphone and tried to listen to this album several time and here's my personal thought on the album.


A more mature take from Arashi. I think we can safely say that this is a new album, meaning that you can't really compare it to their previous albums. The sounds are very 2004 [altough some beats does reminds you of the beats from their previous songs], the harmony of the group are more "together" and in some songs, each members has more solo parts to show their individual vocal strength.

By now i guess no one can beat the Arashi' Leader' powerful vocal, his vocal just got more powerful... if that's possible. I don't how he do it, but Ohno Satoshi has a voice that just... wow! Although Ninomi's vocal isn't something that you should dismiss just like that either. This guy got more talent than his physical feature show, but then we already know that ^__^

Then come Sakurai Sho's rapping, now that his style and voice has really fixed, if you love his rapping in Pikanchi Double, then you gonna love all his rap part [which he wrote himself] in this album. Me..? I'm over the moon ^___^ I think they're all vocally improve in this album, i have no complain for Aiba's and Matsujun's singing part, i like their voices here, the hint of their trademark squeky voice are still there of course, but when they sing it just.. enjoyable to my ears.

The song of Aiba & Ninomi (yasashikutte sukoshi baka) reminds me so much of their duet [vocal/guitar lead] in Suppin Concert ^__^ And not only this album has various style of songs, they also dare to venture into bring out the beat from the 70's and it still sound like a 21st century song ^__^

I love this album... i like all songs [old and new] especially Jam [somehow it just stuck in my head since the first time i heard it.. and makes me feel like jamming.. hahahaha], Thank You for My Days [such a sweet song], yasashikutte sukoshi baka, and tokudesha. And look out for "Cheek no Muffler", a song which reminds me of the Stylistic and yet the guys managed to make it an Arashi's song. So... is it an album worth to buy? hell.. yes!
