Aiba Challenges Boxing in the New CM

by Fiona

Idol group Arashi’s member Masami Aiba had his first boxing challenge in the new CM “BOXING” of the medicine for insect sting. He was instructed with a lot of secret tips from the legendary former world champion Yoko Gushiken who defended his championship for 13 times. So in the CM Aiba was able to show the KO punches one after another.

Aiba, who is known for his kind and friendly personality, hit the sandbag single-minded with one-two punch of sharp jab and straight before the final powerful right hook, keeping a cool expression on the face.

After watching more than 200 punches of himself in the shooting, he commented: “It seems that I become stronger somehow.” The 1st chapter “The man who fits Muhi best in Japan” of the new CM has already been on air. Can Aiba “KO” fans by his charm with double CMs?!

You can view Aiba-chan’s new CMs on the official website here. There are also a few wallpapers available to download, I especially like the black and white one. Both CMs are cute, though the Boxing Otaku one is a bit better.

Both covers are awesome ne, though, Arashi look more dazzling and kakkoii on the LE one. ♥ Don’t they remind you of the Truth CDs with the dark and shivering atmosphere?

I also had the pleasure of previewing to the B-side song, Spiral on Youtube. It is absolutely fabulous — very deep and serious. Sakurap is wicked as ever.

KAT-TUN’s Love Yourself ~ Kimi Ga Kirai Na Kimi Ga Suki

by Fiona

I just started watching the live-action of Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and have become addicted to the themesong. It’s been playing non-stop since last night and probably going to be another favorite.

Love Yourself ~ Kimi Ga Kirai Na Kimi Ga Suki is a fabulous song despite its overuse of autotone. I find this aspect to be quite fitting for the heroine of the drama, Nakahara Sunako. Its metro, fast paced melody along with the encouraging lyrics adds charismatic to the composition. I especially like chorus, though, the rap portion doesn’t make sense once again.

May I say Kame looks very attractive in the drama, much more built and healthier than his Sapuri days.

Love yourself ~Kimi ga kirai na kimi ga suki~
(Love yourself ~I love this you that you hate~)

Lyrics: JOKER
Composer: Tatsugoo

Romaji and English Lyrics:

Kisetsu wa mata meguri mekurumeku machi
Daremo kimi no koto wo ki ni tomezu mawaru
Sonna no dou demo ii
Tada kimi ga soba ni ireba ii

Seasons go round again, a dazzling city
Everyone passes oblivious of you
That’s it, you shouldn’t care
It’s ok as long as you’re by my side
