Finally found time to watch the PV (I'm a bit lost...this song and PV is the extra on the Dome DVD, right?) after reading everyone raving about it. Well, let's start with the bad.

Yes, the bad.

What I didn't like:
The sudden blanking of the screen in the first 1 min. 26 times, of which about half are sudden cuts to another scene, and the reminder sudden insertions of black scenes. It gives me headaches.

What I can't figure if I like:
The very vibrant, high saturation image during the first half of the PV. I find it too loud and shocking, but then again it fits the song well and gives the PV a sort of sci-fi feel, which fits the title of the song.

But everything else, I like! Spoilery screencaps under the cut! )

Bonus Ohno!


[EDIT]
I just watched the PV Making Of and, OMG:
- Jun mentioned that Ohno's hairstyle was similar to his hairstyle back during 2000, during Sunrise Nippon!! That's quite close to A.Ra.Shi ne!!
- Sho said that the director and the studio was that was A.Ra.Shi!

Yay, I was right hahahahaha!!! I have the Arashi-mindset now. =D

Before I start, this is an appeal to all those whom I had agreed to help get concert goods. I kinda lost track of who and what I'd promise, so please please please pm me with your email, order list and payment details (if you had paid). I can remember these few: 'M" from Peru (my JGS/Hongki buddy), 'A' from Singapore (I had helped you with 5x10 too ne), My Arashi family from Singapore. Anyone else???

I really like the variety in 果てない空.

果てない空 - your regular Arashi pop A-side song, catchy!
STORY - sounds like a toned down version of their album songs, more experimental yet retaining the Arashi touch
maboroshi - B-side-ppoi
あの日のメリークリスマス - Arashi style cheerful ballad, sounds like a good closure to a year. The back vocals adds on to the Christmasy feel. I can totally imagine it being placed in a shopping mall during Christmas shopping haha!

And I really like the PV!


This is probably one of my favourite (no-member-face) scenes in the PV. Love the splashing of the water when Aiba (this is crazy! We can recognise the member by just his leg/shoe/Aiba-take!) steps that shiny high ankle sneaker on the water!

Cap spam under the cut )


I haven't been checking typepad much because the window keeps hanging whenever I try to load a typepad page. Is it because of this? -->

I've finally watched the Love Rainbow PV.

I think they've progressed from half-CG (To Be Free) to full CG here. Imagine them doing nothing but walking and sitting and standing around on green mats. But I'm glad there's no dancing, because in my mind I imagined up a performance with them just sitting on bar chairs (?) singing like that, earnestly. Of course, going by the JE standards of what entertainment should be, such a simple performance won't appear.

I'm happy with the many Juntoshi frames in this PV. I'm happy that they all look so beautiful.

But that's all.

I'm not happy about how tired they look.

Especially Nino. Look at the eyebags!

To relieve my poor body and soul from the ravage of AB311, dearest Johnny-san brought me great news today!

Arashi/ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 X 10  DVD
5524 yen S$87.16 Release Date:2010/04/07
Description:DVD release from Arashi featuring footage from their "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10" concert performance at Kokuritsu Kasumigaoka Kyogijo on August 29, 2009. Includes their all singles from "ARASHI" to "Everything" and more. Also contains digest footage from August 30, 2009 performance at the same place and footage from five major domes tour.

Released in just over a month's time! So fast! About a month after the release of the new single ne. Are they trying to ride on the new high set last week at the Japan Gold Disc? Eh wait. EHHHHHHHH. Angel had told me that the concert included is the 28th one at Kokuritsu....demo...the information above says 29th ne. EHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if to be happy about that because:

  • I attended the 29th one, so having the dvd of that special experience will be a great memory.
  • I attended the 29th one, so having the dvd of the 28th instead means that I got to watch 2 concerts! Besides, 28th is also a special day, and it'll be like Arashi performing in celebration of my 21st!

In any case, at least there's a digest section! I hope a backstage one too. I'm greedy, so I'm thinking that they should have 3 discs, with the 3rd disc being a backstage dvd.

And I've finally found time to watch the Troublemaker PV (gonna watch the Making Of later~). I like the cute concept, although I'm not so sure what the entire PV means. Maybe it's just pure fun. XD
 

 

All the colours in this PV! )
