♥ LOVE ★ Message ♥
Ohno : Our new album, "LOVE" goes on
sale today! In honor of the occasion, ARASHI is here to bring you this message
in a group discussion format.
ARASHI : Hi there!
Sakurai : It's finally released! It's been what,
a year?
Matsumoto : Yeah, not since "Popcorn"
Aiba : We've been waiting for this.
Ninomiya : It has been a while. Feels nice and
productive! (LOL)
Ohno : It doesn't feel like a long time to me.
Sakurai : Oh really?
Ohno : What? I'm the only one that feels that
way?
Sakurai : We all just said that "it's been
a while"
Ninomiya : Yep.
Aiba : Me, too.
Matsumoto : Me, too.
Ohno : ...Then, me too.
ARASHI : LMAO
Ninomiya : What was that? (LOL)
Ohno : Okay, it does feel like a year has
passed. The song I like this time is "Ai wo Utaou"!
Ninomiya : Ah man, I was going to say the same
thing. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Sakurai : Then why not say it together?
Ohno & Ninomiya
: "Ai wo Utaou"! (handshake)
Ohno : I like sho-chan's rap.
Sakurai : What, really?! I'm flattered.
Ninomiya : Let's ask! What do you like about it?
Ohno : It feels like he builds up his momentum throughout.
It gives me goose bumps.
Ninomiya : That's high praise from you! I think
this "LOVE" album came from wanting to do these sorts of songs. I
feel like "Ai wo Utaou" became the one that represents the whole
album.
Matsumoto : It's symbolic of this album's
"LOVE" in a way.
Aiba : It's huge. Like tons of love, right?
Ninomiya :
No matter where you go, you come back to somewhere that's perhaps not
your homeland, but it's the same spot you started from. I like that part,
personally.
Aiba : As for me, I think that "CONFUSION"
is my favorite. It took the most time to get perfect during recording.
Sakurai : I heard of your epic attemps. (LOL)
Aiba : I couldn't sing at all! The lyrics in
third line were so though! (LOL)
Matsumoto : You mean you fudged your part?
Ninomiya : Nah, it was difficult. I agree!
Aiba : I was worried we might have to redo it on
another day! But in the end, we finished. That's why I like the song, since I
worked so hard on it, after all!
Matsumoto : There's a lot of love in this particular
song?
Ninomiya : Everything goes back to LOVE.
Matsumoto : I think I like "FUNKY" the
best. Maybe it's the disco sound, but I thought it was apropos. If possible,
I'd love for everyone to dance to this one at concert or something.
Sakurai : Yeah, and "Rock Tonight" was
definitely good, too. I think it's good to have songs that have a sense of
unity to them. It turned out quite fun in the end!
Aiba : The cover looks great, too!
Sakurai : We didn't purposefully make the whole
abum so grown up, but since last year's "Popcorn" turned out how it
did. Remember the silly hats? (LOL) It's a bit
removed from that. (LOL)
Aiba : Ehen you look at the two covers
together...
Sakurai We don't even look like we're the same
group! (LOL)
Ninomiya : Very true! (LOL)
Ohno : Heh heh heh!
Special round-table discussion
Here, we bring you the members talking in a round-table
discussion about the appeal of the album "LOVE"
Aiba : The choreography for
"P.A.R.A.D.O.X" was very mature, wasn't it? We went abroad for that choreography.
Sakurai : That's right! We went to NY!
Matsumoto : We were dancing the whole time
weren't we?
Aiba :
Yeah. We went to the rehearsal room everyday.
Matsumoto : We got the choreography before we
went, but the result was that it felt like we were being given new choreography
right there and then.
Sakurai : It was probably about half and half, I
guess. He probably watched the way we danced and changed course a little!? I
suppose.
Ohno : That's right. Overall it was amazing..it
really captured the variety. We danced in the dancing parts, and it was
rhythmical in the rhythmic part. We weren't just in the rehearsal room, we also
walked around a bit.
Ninomiya : And ate some delicious food.
Sakurai : Sushi ♪ Yakiniku ♪ It wasn't like NY at all!?
Ninomiya : That's why we were saying "Let's
eat a hot dog!"(LOL)
Aiba : That's right! I really wanted some!
Sakurai : It was like "You've crossed
over!" to America (LOL)
Ninomiya : We were saying, "We haven't done
anything like that"
Aiba : And "I want to try out a hot dog
stand!"
Sakurai : Did you all get to eat one in the end?
The other four members : We did! We did!
Ninomiya : Aiba-san said "I want to eat a
kebab," but when he went he was told they had all sold out
Aiba : So I found another place and ate one! It was
unbelievably delicious!
Matsumoto : Is a kebab typical NY food!? (LOL)
Aiba : I wanted to eat one from a stand!
Ninomiya : It was delicious, wasn't it?
Matsumoto :
The filming for the video clip itself actually took place quite a while
after.
Sakurai : On the day of filming, it felt like we
danced all afternoon.
Ohno : That's right
Matsumoto : Because ita was filmed with dancing
as the main part
Sakurai : I want everyone to see the
"P.A.R.A.D.O.X" video clip. It's been a long time since we've had
video clip for a new song on the new album..
Matsumoto : It's the first time since
"Lucky Man"! Is it!?
Ohno : What about, what was that one..?
Sakurai : Oh! "Mada Minu Sekai e"?
Ohno : That's the one!
Sakurai : But that was a DVD, so it's the first
time it's been done for an album since..yep, I think it was "Lucky
Man"!
Matsumoto : Was it originally with the
"Lucky Man" album? Wasn't it for a best of or something, a clip
compilation?
Sakurai : I think we just did it for promotion.
I think this is the first time we've included it with an album!
Aiba : It's the first time!
Sakurai : In that case, it's fairly valuable
isn't it?
Ninomiya : Seriously?! A first on our 12th
album!? That's shocking!
Aiba : I really want everyone to see it!
Sakurai : We're still coming up with first
Matsumoto : It was difficult filming with the
timing of the album. We'd already complete the song "P.A.R.A.D.O.X"
itself. The usual oreder is you decide the conceptof the album, while you're
thinking about the tour and decide on the songs then.
Sakurai : That's true!
Matsumoto : You plan to finish the songs way
after that.
Ninomiya : It's really difficult (LOL), if you
decide to add it to the album (LOL)
Sakurai : You gotta move pretty fast.
Matsumoto : From now on, should we record a song
a month? (LOL)
Aiba : Um, hahaha!
Sakurai : Should we start stocking them up?! (LOL)
Ninomiya : Right..well, Ohno-san, please wrap
this up!
Ohno : ARASHI's new album "LOVE" is an
album that we could only have made now, and is full of songs that reflect the way
ARASHI currently is. Long ago, when we made our debut, we sang adult oriented
songs, but I think because of where we are now, those type of songs really suit
us. Our fans span a wide age-range, but as we have a big theme like LOVE, I
think you can listen to it from a variety of viewpoints. Therefore...
Ninomiya : It doesn't seem like you're wrapping
this up at all! (LOL)
Sakurai : He's never going to finish (LOL)
Ohno : ...in that sense (LOL), it's nit titled in any particular way, and it includes
LOVE from a variety of perspectives! Even if childern listen to it, I think
they'll be able to feel LOVE. ...there's small LOVE too, and big, grown-up LOVE
as well!
Matsumoto : Man, that's enough, isn't it? (LOL)
Aiba : Thank you very much!
Ohno : ...and so (LOL), how can I put it?...It's all the LOVE put together!
Aiba & Matsumoto
& Ninomiya : ROFL
ARASHI : Please
listen to our album "LOVE"! We're counting on you!
I will post ‘behind of P.A.R.A.D.O.X story’ in next post. Because
this is first day of sale of LOVE album I wish they will make a great selling
for this new album. (^ ^) I have class tomorrow morning.
