JE Music Pimp!

Lu asked for my top 25 JE songs. I figured aside from Heavenly Psycho, iverin had K8 covered, plus TOKIO, V6, and KinKi Kids, so here I am with a few senpai, a few kouhai, and mostly My Boys ( Read more... )

1. I still do not understand your love of this song. Mostly because I cannot get past the PSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bit at the beginning because it creeps me out.

13. Oh, god. I can't listen to Venus anymore due to how much I had it forced upon me when I first joined the fandom sdjfjs. Kamen is fucking awesome though. I also have a soft spot for Ho! Summer. Mostly because the dance is fun. Oh, and Yume Monogatari, but I can never seem to remember all the lyrics so it just turns into enthusiastic mumbling.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG. Also I tried to translate it and realized that part of why it's so great is that it is largely meaningless. So when they sing PSSSSSYYYYCHOOOOOOO it's just... a sound. I can ignore the weirdness. XD

Ho! Summer is also gay GAY GAY!!! fun. iverin is putting that on her list. We apparently have no crossover, which will be AWESOME. XD

According to iTunes, I've gotten through it once. psyyyyyychooooooooooo...

Ho! Summer is not gay. It is gay. The PV was basically TakiTsuba's honeymoon in Hawai'i.

And damn you, I'm tempted to do something like this now.

Koki is the only unique singing voice in KAT-TUN. Making him the rapper has never made sense to me, but whatever. It's a pity, really.

I don't like KAT-TUN's music in general, but Rescue's gonna be a pretty hot single. It's awesome. *-* I think the preview already made my top 20 list.

Part of what I hate about KAT-TUN is how much Kame and Jin OVERSING. It's the same reason I don't generally listen to American pop; too much oversinging, too many "special effects".

I like special effects, but Akame are nothing to write home about. As singers, at any rate. Jin can sound decent live if he wants to, but there's nothing unique about his voice and he whines an awful lot. Kame... just has to sing lead because he's Kame, not because he's actually any better than Junno or Ueda.

Singing is that group's biggest weakness since they have all been chosen based on looks/mediocre dancing ability alone. That's why JE spends so damn much on buying them songs, you just can't sell them without the special effects you speak of.

BEING LEADERS WHO ARE UTTERLY WHIPPED BY THEIR BANDMATES, WALKING INTO DOORFRAMES, DRINKING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY GIGGLE LIKE LITTLE GIRLS...

I think we need to start a letter campaign. JE can't deny us any longer.

Re:

5. One word: J-FRIENDS. That is where a lot of awesome Sakamoto is chillin. Also probably in some other V6 songs but J-FRIENDS is the land of Dots and Sakamoto and Nagase wailing away in the most loveable cheesy 80s way ever.

11. This is the best Sho song ever, but it makes me sad becuase he never sings this good anymore. Whatever vocal coach came in and told him to just yell out his notes (AAAAAAsu wo mabushii kurai ni) should be fired. HE WAS ON THE RIGHT TRACK :(

13. W/e Venus is the shit. ODOTTE PENIS. KANJITE PENIS. You know you appreciate the fabulous mexican dancing. *clap clap clap*

14. I'm sorry, we can no longer be friends. (j/k of course)

21. I like to think of the slow version as the weed smoking version. It's like what Arashi would sound like if they were in a movie with Seth Rogan.

See, this is why I need moar senpai stuff. Because I can't FIND any of it and I know there's a lot of awesome lurking in there. WANT.

I sort of wonder if his voice hasn't changed a bit since then. I've noticed that in general, Ohno sounds considerably higher as he ages (which kind of threw me at the concert I saw; is it just me, or does he sound higher live?) and Sho might be having some changing of some kind too. It would explain why he sounds like he's straining himself a lot. :<

In the words of T&T themselves, DAME! DAME! DAME!

IT'S JUST THE ONE, I SWEAR. AND I SOLD THE SINGLE, SO IT'S NOT LIKE I OWN IT OR ANYTHING. HONEST OFFICER, IT WAS JUST THE ONE TIME.

...see, when you say "smoking weed", my brain goes "Ohno 3P?" and now all I can think is that the slow sketch song was what happened during their 5th year anniversary pot smoking orgy.

I will help you with the senpai music by making a similar post to this in my LJ <3 Generally the best place ever for music though is KMC. It's Megaupload paradise! No stupid torrents! And the search function...usually works. I downloaded SMAP's entire discography there. Now, I haven't actually LISTENED to it, but it's there XD

A preview of J-FRIENDS:

Just wait for the hilarity that is Nagase at 1:56ish. It never, ever gets old.

I'll put up some exciting things later tonight IF I EVER FINISH PACKING, I AM A TERRIBLE PROCRASTINATOR. But my obnoxiously pink Sho uchiwa needs MOAR HEARTS.

OH GOOD LORD. JE, I'M PRETTY SURE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL WOULD HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE COSTUME-RELATED TORTURES YOU INFLICT ON PERFECTLY GOOD LOOKING MEN.

Also, Matsunii. What happened to your hair.

Ooh senpai bands! Also Kanjani8 intriques me these days, they feel like Arashi..only with more random shouting and little less glittery unicorns.

Taking the zip. Thank you~
