Sooooo,new album's out(well technically no,but we all know what I mean x3).
And that was the most pleasant surprise I got from an album lately. Dude,the variety of this album makes undeniably happy. |3

But as always "change" is not accepted my the majority of people. :p We have that in the Gazette fandom too. XD Although I generally see a lot of positive views on it,there's of course those who are as always *disappointed* and /whine whine whine. *sigh* Yes, Arashi is mostly known for rainbow,lighthearted music all those years but how it's wrong for them to experiment with their sound a bit at some point? D: (when they did it with truth and 時計じかけのアンブレラ people were delighted,but they aren't here?!) How's it bad to be a little less lighthearted and bit more mature this time around? First people whine how all their songs as of late "sound the same",and now that they presented a variety in style they whine because "it's not Arashi-like/not old-school Arashi enough"? orz I honestly don't know anymore.. :p By no means one has to like everything they release,but this kind of whining is just...stupid? imo always. ._.;;

For me, the 2 year wait was absolutely worth it. For those that it wasn't, right-click -> delete/save ~4,000 yen is the way to go. :p

Nino agrees.



ps.is it just me,of the last.fm plug-in here has a problem displaying kanji? o_o

I can't understand why some like to complain so much, it's like with Shiver, I've seen people complain about that single as well. I mean, like you said, a band must be allowed to experiment and do other things.
Music is music, and if you don't allow it to change, it will never grow or improve.
I've never understood why some people blurt out things like "This is not what I expected"

Of course it's given that not all songs can fit ones owns tastes every time, but isn't it good to try and keep an open mind?
I dunno..:/


I think it's the last.fm plug-in.. I've been having trouble with it a while as well.. It's a bit annoying. XD

'In the process of listening the album right now & yes, thankfully I like what I'm listening! I actually find the new sounds more interesting than the usual. Tbh I find their usual sound boring lately so the new songs are a breath of fresh air in the stale waters of jpop. Mada ue wo is... wow! Gypsy violins <3 That's renovation! When I listen to the whole thing I'll write a review thingie in my LJ (probably 2-3 later cause I'm currently busy, bday & all!)
