Crazy solos - redux
Apr. 2nd, 2009 07:29So they weren't the solos. MWAAAHAHAHA! Okay, we had fun. *g*
But
tsuyaka has the final released track list now. And OMG isn't this So. Much. Better.
care (Akanishi Jin)
1582 (Kamenashi Kazuya)
WIND (Taguchi Junnosuke)
PIERROT (Tanaka Koki)
Hana no Mau Machi (Ueda Tatsuya) (The town of dancing flowers)
WHITE WORLD (Nakamaru Yuichi)
Care. CARE! Of which there live not one but two rips on my mp3 player (Utawara and Dream Boys). I thought it wasn't going to happen, not now, not so late, not when he seems to be going in such a different stylistic direction. (OMG please don't let this be Care - the Hip-Hop version with Hat.)
Waiting for a studio version since 2006.
As for Kame's solo: interesting. If any of the previous rumours can still be counted on and he's doing something 'traditional'... could this be about Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Of course, given the bizarre titles of his other solos (not counting Kizuna) and the bizarre and rather unrelated stuff that went with them, maybe it's just some random number of which the pronunciation sounds like something else entirely, like those phone book puns.
Junno. Wind, huh? Given how many people had him down for Water Dance, I guess it fits that he's doing something vaguely elemental.
Pierrot sounds ... very fitting for JOKER. Yep, good one.
And Ueda's sounds so Ueda-like. Ai no Hana, the sequel. But that's a good thing because I liked Ai no Hana.
But really? REALLY? The thing that will keep me squeeing all day as I sit pretending to listen to presentations about teaching sustainable development in Higher Education is... CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Date: 2009-04-02 06:53 (UTC)rofl.....i can sooooo imagine that XD I hope they don't mess with the melodies too much. Cuz the Yamapi solos that I really liked when they put into album version......didn't sound as good as the original D:
the numbers.....has me confused. Watch it be some pun tho.....lol. Japanese ppl seem to be into that anyways.....
oh......you didn't comment on one person (i had to count on my fingers to figure out who you missed) poor maru XD white world almost sounds like white x'mas (the title)

Date: 2009-04-02 08:24 (UTC)But even upon reflection, I can't find much to say about White World. It sounds kind of bland? And I don't tend to like Maru's solos much, anyway (sorry, Maru) and I can't even remember the *titles* of the previous ones so... I guess somebody else will need to have clever thoughts about this one. (Sorry Maru.)

Date: 2009-04-02 10:15 (UTC)I totally had Key of Life stuck in my head for the entire twelve hour flight from Sydney to Beijing. Now, granted, at least I like the song but NOT FOR TWELVE HOURS.
In comment to the other things - Pierrot is intriguing me the most, I have to say. Amongst the horrific look of Koki's new hair. Or, you know, new as of when I saw it a week ago. This is JE, IT MAY WELL HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN.

Date: 2009-04-02 10:47 (UTC)what? you don't like koki's new hair? that fake-looking one i saw on ctkt? But he looks so handsome! With bangs XD

However, I AM THRILLED CARE IS GOING TO BE ON THIS CD. b dlsabvlsan njdkf!

Date: 2009-04-02 08:30 (UTC)Still, yeah. Care is perfect as it is. It shouldn't be changed.
(Except now I can mentally hear it with much, much heavier percussion on the second chorus... that could be quite sweet... hm.)
((Or an acoustic version. Imagine a full acoustic version. Yummmmmm...))
Aaaagh, what do I want? I know! I want him to do three versions!

Date: 2009-04-02 19:00 (UTC)That I would love too. The performance on Shounen Club were Kame starts, then Jin takes over and then the rest joins in towards the end is SO nice. ♥ A proper studio recording where all of them sings equally much would be fantastic.
I like Nakamaru's solo performance of Kizuna too.

Date: 2009-04-02 20:19 (UTC)I didn't know Nakamaru's done a solo performance of it -- was that on SC, too?
no subject
Date: 2009-04-02 21:17 (UTC)I believe it was on Shounen Club performed Kizuna, yes. Cannot find the video on youtube right now so I can't link to it. some junior(s) join in towards the end. Anyways, Maru's version is really nice IMO.

Oh my god. Of *course* it is about Hideyoshi! Now that I think about it, how can KAT-TUN not have had any songs about Hideyoshi already???
