I saw the
track list for Arashi's upcoming album, and to be honest I've never had so much feels and speculations for a track list until today. So I figured I might as well blog about it. :P
Welcome to our party
Somehow, this made me think of Sho saying "What's up party people!!!!" in their concerts, I think before they sing Lucky Man. XD
We wanna funk, we need a funk (Matsumoto Jun's solo)
Inevitably, this song came to mind.

It makes me wonder if the song would use a sampling of the above track. Either way, I'm looking forward to how Jun would pull this one off.
two (Ohno Satoshi's solo)
Somehow I'm picturing this as a love song. I just don't know if it's the happy kind of love or something that brings heartbreak. :|
Waiting for you
Yes, I thought of another song when I saw the title. (Actual song starts at the 0:21 mark.)

I have a gut feeling this won't be a ballad, but I wouldn't mind either way.
楽園 [Paradise] (Aiba Masaki's solo)
Are we going to get a sensual Aiba solo this time around?!? XD I'm hoping so. Inasmuch as I love Aiba's previous solos, it would be interesting to hear him sing something he normally doesn't.
それはやっぱり君でした [rough trans: As I thought, that was you] (Ninomiya Kazunari's solo)
Is it odd that one of my speculations for this song is that it would be of the Gimmick Game type? That's not the first thing I thought of (I'm actually leaning more towards a romantic song, much like his previous solo), but looking at the pattern of Nino's solos through the years he doesn't stick to the same style for 2 consecutive albums, both in lyrics and melody. So I'm thinking he'll give us something unexpected yet again.
Fly on Friday (Sakurai Sho's solo)
This definitely won't be like Kono mama motto, and I have a feeling this won't be a love song at all. And most likely not like T.A.B.O.O., either. If I were to compare it to his previous solos I'm hoping it would be nearest to Hip Hop Boogie.
