Lotus

[karened]

Can I be absolutely honest and say this:

I'm not very into Lotus. It's not the typical jpop, so I think I'll need a long time to start loving it, like some other Arashi songs. And the dance. It's odd. Quite different from previous Arashi dances, and in fact reminding me of Perfume/KARA's dances quite a bit.

Even the coupling songs didn't grab my heart. =S
Ever wasn't as melodious as Over. Boom Boom sounds like a kpop piece.

But I am superficial when it comes to Arashi, so I'm still quite satisfied with these:

Jun's PJ-look.


Ohno's yell, which I love forever, anytime, anywhere.

[EDIT] Ok, after putting Lotus on loop while typing this post, I've grown to quite enjoy the quirky bits quite a bit. =) But why is it called Lotus?



I had a company dinner last night, reached home at 12, watch a bit of HnA on my bed, and the next thing I know, it was 6 am, and I had slept in front of my laptop. So, i switched it off, brushed my teeth and got back to sleep. I was woken up by a phone call, asking where I was. !!!!! A had a movie date which I was surely late for!!

We watched The King's Speech today.

I think it must be the Oscar/Grammy effect. because the movie threatre was so full! I mean, that movie is not exactly very mainstream. The plot hinted at a risk that the movie woul go flat and all inspiration with no fun. But fortunately, it had more than Colin Firth's awesomeness to keep me engaged for the entire length.

- Colin Firth's charm.
- Colin Firth's acting.
- WItty lines and comebacks from various characters.

These are three reasons to watch this movie. It's not boring!! Maybe the lack of subtitles kept some people from fully understanding what the characters were saying (yes, although we boast our country as English speaking, I have to admit that the Western accent sometimes feel difficult to catch), it just needs some getting used to. I thoroughly enjoyed myself while listening intently for the funny bits that lined conversations and even the smallest remarks.
