Here’s the full version of Sora Takaku, themesong to Saigo no Yakusoku’s which had starred all five of our boys:
This definitely caught me by surprise, wasn’t expecting an upbeat song, maybe something along the lines of dark and sexy like Truth. But I have no complaints, Sora Takaku is a very good song. As always, the Sakurap is awesome and the lyrics represent so many things, which Jun-kun had previously pointed out. The Kanji, Romanji and English lyrics can be found here. I enjoy it even more after reading them!
…and here’s Troublemaker, themesong to Sho-kun’s drama - Tokujo Kabachi!!:
Are you ready~? Loving it so far, the beat is so energetic, I could listen to this the entire day! The lyrics can be found here.
While L’Arc~en~Ciel provides the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and singer Ai Otsuka does the same for Fuji TV, this time Arashi’s been appointed to sing the theme song for NTV. The song is titled, “Yurase, Ima Wo” and so far no other details have been revealed (as to whether it’ll be released on CD etc..). The song will also be used as the winter theme for NTV’s news show, Zoom In SUPER. This is the 3rd time that Arashi gets to sing an Olympic theme, the formers being “Hero” used for 2004 Athens Summer Olympics and “Kaze no Mukou E” for 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
Weeee~ A new song, I’m liking it so far. It’s quite catchy and addictive, cannot wait for the full version. Hmm…I wonder if Sho-kun will going to Vancouver to do some news coverage, though its a bit too far from where I am.
I had started watching Neon Genesis Evangelion a few days ago and absolutely fell in love with its themesong, 残酷な天使のテーゼ (Cruel Angel’s Thesis). I believe it’s consider one of the best anime songs, and the title definitely holds true.
It has an catchy and upbeat tempo, meaningful lyrics and powerful vocals by Takahashi Yoko (高橋洋子). It’s an epic solo, providing a message that one should take the challenge and control his or her own destiny. Extremely addicting after the first taste.
Lyrics -- Romaji and English
Zankoku na tenshi no you ni
Shonen yo, shinwa ni nare…
Like an angel with no sense of mercy
young boy rises to the heavens, becoming a legend
Aoi kaze ga ima mune no doa wo tataitemo,
Watashi dake wo tada mitsumete
Hohoenderu Anata
Sotto Fureru mono
Motomeru koto ni muchuu de,
Unmei sae mada shiranai itaikena hitom More
Today, I have two songs to share, they are Oda Kazumasa’s Kokoro and KAT-TUN’s Bokurano Machide. Both are a delight to hear, love the melodies and the deeper meanings of the lyrics. I also enjoy listening to Oda-san’s gentle voice, will definitely search for more songs of his.
On a side note, I was quite happy to to know that Bokurano Machide was also composed by Oda-san. I didn’t realize this until I was check the lyrics when written this. Not surprisingly, I was drawn to both beautiful songs.
This new PV really looks great, quite different from the previous one. The boys in casual clothing always does wonders. XD The atmosphere is very summer-like especially when they are walking on the beach. Somehow it remembers of me, Arashigoto, the 5th anniversary photobook. The overhead shot of them singing with the microphones was definitely a delightful treat. Looking forward to the full pv!
I once said 99 true words, no one believed me. I once said a single lie, everyone believed me. From then on, I realized that we are living a life full of lies.
