TIME FOR SOME YOUNG ARASHI BEING VERY PUMPED UP, YAY! Whoooa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoooooa!
Download the performance here from MF, courtesy of Top! She included the awesome montage after the song's over, and no one's life is so great that it can't be improved by watching that again. ♥♥
YOUNG JUN SAYS LET'S GO!
There's lots of running in this performance, lots of jumping, and OH YES LOTS OF BARE ARMS. Which also means AIBA BIRTHMARK WHEE.
This song is so fun and Arashi are having such fun performing it! :D It's so very VIGOROUS.
AND ARMS, ARMS EVERYWHERE.
Their tank-tops have screens of their eyes on them! Their camouflage (OR SWAMP-THING) pants have ruffles sewn on! Nino is Nino, all over his face!
AIBA'S HAIR IS PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND OH GOSH NINO IS BEING PARTICULARLY DELIGHTFUL.
Hip-bopping!! <3<3<3
WHY DOES OHNO EVER HAVE SLEEVES?
SERIOUSLY.
Sigh, so sweet always, Leader. ♥
A bit of a lighting shift and change in pose and Leader is a conquering hero!
I love that when Aiba is gleaming with sweat, his birthmark seems to have EXTRA SHINE. It's like his inner beauty is dusting it with glitter!
ALSO I MENTIONED HIS HAIR, RIGHT? This cap obviously doesn't do it justice but I kept wanting to cap it in motion, its smooth floofing movement! (THAT'S RIGHT: FLOOFING.)
If I imagine them performing this song now, all I can picture are HIJINKS a la Gori Muchuu, but young Arashi are playing it fairly straight. I am enjoying seeing them be excited and badass and adorable and generally GREAT. :D (THOUGH THEIR VERSION NOW WOULD BE GREAT ALSO, JUST DIFFERENT. ♥)
GEEZ, AIBA-ARMS, GEEZ, AIBA-HAIR, GEEZ (MOST ESPECIALLY), AIBA-FACE.
Leader was such a twitchy little thing. ♥ His singing back then involved a lot more posturing than it does now, so cute!
OH JUN.
OH JUN. <3<3<3
RUN LIKE THE WIND WITH YOUR ARMS, SHOOOO.
NNGH, AIBA. ♥
TARGET SPOTTED.
LOADING POWERS OF LEADERLY CHARM AND EXCITEMENT.
FULL STRENGTH ZAP!!
A JOB WELL DONE.
OH JUN, I JUST WANT TO PET YOUR HAIR AND TELL YOU YOU'RE WONDERFUL.
... WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED.
TAKE THIS FACE, SAYS YOUNG JUN.
Oh lighting and angle, thanks for this glimpse right INTO Leader's shirt!
SHOOOOO, YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT.
WHAT A DORK OHNO IS, SERIOUSLY. ♥♥♥! (AND QUITE FLEXIBLE.) I love that he kicks like this right on the "YES!"
Whenever Sho has sweaty bare arms, I can't help but think of Nino comparing them to fish. :D
... ALL FISH-THOUGHTS BANISHED, NNNGH, WELL THEN.
UH OH, HERE COMES NINO TO PUT HIS EARLIER HIP-BOPPING TO SHAME WITH SOMETHING EVEN MORE FANTASTIC.
AHHHHH, LOOK AT HIS ARMS, HIS WRISTS, HIS EVERYTHING.
YOU. ARE DARLING. ... I MEAN, TOUGH.
HOW ABOUT BOTH.
IN ADDITION: BELOVED. NINOOOOOO.
... WHOA. ♥
His neck, his jaw, the perfect curve of his microphone thing, GLORY.
HI OHNO HI. WE SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU BACK.
These tank-tops aren't cut all that flatteringly except you stick Arashi in something and I'm like MM YEAH, THESE ARE THE MOST FLATTERING TANK-TOPS IN THE WORLD, LET ME STARE FOREVER.
NINO'S LIMBS ARE TREASURES, TO BE FLAILED ABOUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR THE JOY OF THE WORLD.
I love that Ohno is even a weirdo at jumping. ♥
I LOVE YOU, YOU WEIRDO, AND YOUR PRETTY ARMS, TOO.
Sho's grooving with his sexy fish arms!
Ohno and his section of the crowd are in a mutual appreciation society!
BUT REALLY AREN'T WE ALL IN THE OHNO APPRECIATION SOCIETY.
SHO STILL HAS ARMS.
Aiba's birthmark is still beautiful!
There should be a variety show special devoted to it. I mean, we never get a really good look! I want it from lots of angles, close-up, in lots of different lighting... and let's say also that Aiba would be shirtless the whole time. THERE IS NO LOSING HERE.
NINO IS MAGICAL. ♥
Sho fights to escape the giant tubes of color!!
Ohno is really fired up this song! IT IS A VERY "GET FIRED UP" SONG. ♥
Get fired up more often, Leader, it's great!
SHO EMERGES VICTORIOUS FROM THE FOREST OF COLORS.
WAY TO GO, SHO!
I'm happy to be Nino's pawn. Feelings pawn??
More of the same, but since the same is ARMS, BIRTHMARK, HAIR, AIBA, I have no complaints at ALL.
... Aiba ups the ante, even less complaining. NEGATIVE COMPLAINING HERE.
Also "LET ME SAY LEAVE ME ALONE" is such a fun lyric to shout in my car, YES.
Run, Sho, the color trees are coming for you!!
THEY'RE SNAPPING AT YOUR HEELS.
SHO VS. COLOR TUBE, FIGHT SCENE.
Ugh, Nino shouldn't be as alluring as he is, geez. ♥
Champion!
trot trot trot
ACTION SHO(T).
That's just awesome. ♥♥♥
Meanwhile, the color tubes are defeated but the fog is threatening!
Leader, fighting!
Hee, but Ohno's like, lalala, another day at the office~
YEAH.
Nino's arms are so pretty, all smooth curves and loveliness.
Sho, you are looking GOOD (and also victorious!), YES.
SHO DOESN'T NOTICE BUT WE CAN SEE YOUR EPIC BATTLE, OHNO.
I love that he is jumping up INTO THE FOG. IS IT REALLY A BATTLE IF OHNO ISN'T FIGHTING?
SO GREAT.
Nino pauses to assert his ownership over my heart.
Yes, a good point.
I know, I can't argue with that.
Go on then, my heart is yours. ♥
Champion, running Sho in the spotlight!
Hey, look at this, minions.
Even my armpits are pretty!
THE WORLD IS MINE.
NO FOG OR COLOR TREES CAN HOLD OHNO BACK!
He has a lot of faces to see! MUST HURRY, SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE.
BUT THE TRUE HERO IS SHOOOOO, LOOK AT THAT VICTORY SPRINT! ALL THE HEARTS FOR YOU, SHO. ♥♥♥
PHEW, DONE. Time to spin for Top!
*phwoooooooooooooooosh*
Gift! Yay, so pretty! ♥
