I don't really have anything to post about, so I'll just do this ~my way~. Yes, this means Asians in sparkly outfits. Meet Arashi, a Japanese five-m
ember boy band. They've been around as a group for ten years now (yes, ten years, that means they're getting old), and are still as popular in Japan as ever.If you've seen the movie Letters From Iwo Jima, you've seen that guy on the bottom right before. If you've been a friend of mine for a couple of months or more, I've probably showed them to you. One of the many lovely things about Arashi is that they're like happy pills. Not only is their music really light and happy, they're such extreme dorks in interviews and TV shows as well.
See the sparkly suits (that's a link, you guys)? Now learn to love them. Another wonderful thing about Arashi is their lyrics. Like most Japanese groups/bands/artists, they enjoy putting random English words and phrases into their songs. Here, have some examples (click the song titles to watch the ridiculously awesome music videos):
From Truth
"Yurari yureru hikari hitotsu
Itami iyasu kotonaku kieru
I take your life forever
You take my life forever"
From Step and go
"We're gonna step and go to brand new story
Yoru wo toori mukete Rolling rolling on
I'm gonna go there with my memories
Sekai wa maru de towa he no escape"
From A RA SHI
"Hajikerya yea! Sunao ni good!
Dakara choito omoi no wa boo!
That's all right! Sore demo jidai wo kiwameru
Sou sa bokura wa super boy!
We are cool"
Try telling me that wasn't fun. Try.
