Because I am worried and care

[pimarashian]

 Hi there

since channels on www.japantv.biz aren't working ( not to mention its a paid service) I refused to watch Kaibutsu-kun on Keyhole because it nearly gave me a heart attack! so here I am writing this while everyone else is enjoying kaibutsu-kun's squishy self T.T *is envious* xD

so this post is not to fangirl over arashi!

ITS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ARASHI!! seriously NUOOOOO I am really worried

First the Monster performance which in short , wasn't good to me, and I'm tired of explaining why! i just don't like it !
NOW WHATS WITH SPIRAL!!

the writer and composer of it were like dead in the 90s and are now revived to make music! I didn't like it at all!
its just NOT arashi
they have a music writer genius!! NINO let HIM write music for them!! oh god this wasn't a good morning when I woke up to THAT
I don't want them to hit the point where they think they'd release just ANYTHING and we'd just flail over it and support them! 
next single better be awesome ugh , what happened to "To be free"? now thats a good song!! Sora takaku? that was a good song too!
now I want an album and this album must be NOTHING like weird music arrangements like "Spiral" or even monster, now monster is good but only as parts! not as a whole!

I am still a huge fan and hell I'm excited for next Friday that would be my second arashi fan anniversary BUT I just cant see all of that happening and just stay quite and kid myself saying how awesome (NOT) their perfs. or songs are! 
and hell if only I could tell them all of this , I WOULD!
if only Johnny-san hires me as their manager ...*gets bricked* 

in the end, we all have different opinions, i don't mean to hurt anyone but thats just too much! Whatever they're trying to do, they should stop it!
and I hate to be realistic here , BUT, if this continues (and this happened in my previous fandoms a.k.a westlife and BSB) they will lose ALL of this popularity and just fade slowly then they'll come back trying hard to gain all the popularity back *coughs* look at BSB now, I am still a fan ( and damn i'd cry rivers if I ever got to be in BSB concert)  of them, but as much as I hate to admit, they lost it and now are trying so hard to catch up with real music and gain their fanbase back! they're not meeting any success, sure there are a huge fan base for them BUT not as popular as "The Backstreet Boys" their era is just over, and why? because they did THIS! they just released random music, people got enough and sick! I admit ,I got sick at a point too, but since they're a HUGE part of me, I couldn't just walk away from the fandom, they're now trying to make it up and I am happy really! but as I said , they're not as popular
Westlife! well you know, them doing covers of songs constantly just made me and many fans have ENOUGH! I still like their music though xD (the originals xD) 
anyway you see what I mean here? 
Maybe it was even planned who knows , lets be real here, sure arashi love us as their fans , but why would Johnny love us? we're not his fans! He loves our wallets and pockets! why would he bother making sure they stay strong with good music? just anything would do as long as crazy fangirls would buy the single! I am not saying we stop supporting them, I don't, I just want to be heard ( and I am pretty sure there are many fans who agree with me)  I don't want this to continue, I am myself afraid I'd get bored eventually if I keep not liking what they release! 
before jumping to any opinions, please watch old videos of arashi at their peak of popularity and watch what we're having NOW! you'll notice the huge difference
Can you really say Monster is as good as Believe?
Can you really say Spiral is as good as Tokei Jikake no Umberella ?
( I DON'T mean music or lyrical wise bcz of course they're different, but I only question the quality of it ) 
I intended to take examples from 2009 bcz they're the closest !! to make my point clear, in Just ONE year , there is huge difference!
I am not trying to force my opinion here, you're free to like whatever you want! but I just want you to notice the difference, but you're also free to not notice it
any opinions are welcomed really, again I am NOT forcing my opinions on anyone!! 

now I hope Shiyagare is worth the waiting or I'll seriously cry over what point they became to xDDDD 

I'll just end it here and see what are your opinions (which are HIGHLY respected) I am leaving this entry public for anyone who would like to comment =D

Drama reviews will be in next entry (god knows when )

Trust me bb, I'm disappointed too. I'm expecting they do better for the coupling song since I don't really like Monster. Music for both song kinda bleh for me.

and after I listen to Spiral I feel like to cancel my order. Should I? or is it too mean?

[barbicanic.livejournal.com]

oh Thank you xD
exactly I was hoping the coupling song would be better and more arranged >< the music yeah was such a disappointment , i felt like I went 10 years back in time
I wanted to cancel my order but just couldn't xDDD the inner insane fangirl wants to add it to the collection xD

[zukkoke-iero.livejournal.com]

THIS.

You haven't mention Sakurap yet, bb.

And nuuuooooo... i don't want Arashi to fall just like, uhm, BSB and WESTLIFE.
Seriously, I prefer them to release few but awesome singles rather than a bunch but, uhm, disappointing ones.

Let's hope this won't happen again in the future <3
Arashi is Arashi after all. We can not NOT support them, can we? ^_^

[barbicanic.livejournal.com]

I meant not to mention the rap LOL then this entry would be so heavy xD the rap sucked alright though ><
NOBODY wants them to fall to that level but if it just continues like this then they WILL!! and seriously you're right I also prefer them releasing less with better music than a bunch with disappointing one, not to mention releasing way too much singles can drive some fans away
its only normal to get sick of something if it was too much!

I really REALLY hope the next single would be a good make up for all of this mess T.T
yeah I deff. couldn't stop the support xD I even shivered at the idea of canceling my order xD

i personally love monster and spiral, but i can definitely see where you're coming from. i wish they still had songs like what they used to. ;A; i mean.. it's alright if they stop with the billion singles every year (although that makes me happy anyways LOL :D) and just make one that blows our minds off. ♥ anyways, I'M STILL EXCITED. i don't really stay in the fandom for the music, i just stay for the fact that they're so close together and can do anything. their variety shows are awesome, lol.

after the cm for shiyagare, i still prefer shukudai-kun. like a whole lot. but i definitely think i'll still love it. xD it's arashi LOL.

[barbicanic.livejournal.com]

oh of course, I don't mind if anyone liked them its just disappointing T.T many singles makes me happy too but only when they're worth it , Oh how I wish that blowing off single would come out next T.T don't get me wrong, I am still so damn excited for the Monster PV, I still have hope they'll try to make something good out of it, and so damn excited for my anniversary and no one can imagine how I count the days and think a lot of what I am gonna do to celebrate it x3 all of this was just letting it out, it happens in every fandom where you'll come to something you wouldn't like *coughs* likeKATTUNfans when they complained about the arashi-like song * coughs xDDDD

Me too, if it was for the music, I wouldn't be a huge fan , I love them for the people they are basically! maybe its the biased fangirl in me that wants them to be perfect in everything, that wants them to always be on the top without anyone questioning the great quality of what they produce you know

and I AGREE, I still prefer Shukudai-kun T.T but Shiyagare also was good and gave me some laughs xDDD even though i watched bits of it
music doesn't matter to us, we love them for them ne? but as I said music matters to the industry and I want them to stay where they are <3

I don't know what to say but I can understand why you're complaining. Probably too much releases -_- Monster in kinda problematic because I really love the beginning with Ohno's solo (♥) and this particular music fiting the drama. But the other parts are... well...okay.

I don't think Arashi sings f**** amazing songs in terms of music. Their singles are okay or good but a few are "great". In this last category, I will mention : Truth, Pikanchi or Crazy Moon for example.
We can't forget they are Johnnys. The Jimusho isn't famous for its "avant-gardist" singles. The Jimusho sells (sweaty lol) dreams & pretty boys. Everything else is just to gain money : concerts, dvds, photoshoots and singles. The Jimusho doesn't care about the quality but only about benefits. As long as Arahi's singles are breaking selling records, they will not change anything.
It's not Arashi's fault cause the boys are just employees. They sing what the Jimusho wants. But you may be right saying people could grow tired of that.

I don't have any opinion about Spiral : I didn't listen to it yet :p

PS : and yes Neener can write good songs!!!
