Girls > CuW

[stencilled]

Watched the Change Ur World PV and...what was up with that little boy? What, did he have a dream about five JE idols dancing on a rooftop? I'm thinking his whole purpose is to add an illusion of a plot that is very clearly non-existent. Why, JE, why? I hate the PV trope of using voyeuristic curious children as a transition; am I the only one who finds it creepy and over-used?

Overall I found the PV really messy. It's like the directors were playing around with the graphics in bits and pieces. It seemed really disjointed. KAT-TUN were gorgeous, though as usual. Looking forward to the making~

While I'm slightly disappointed by the CuW PV, NTT's Girl is SO DAMN AWESOME. *______* I don't know what Junno was on about, because I don't feel the reggae-ness at all (the intro reminded me of Lady Gaga, actually lol). It's a full-fledged dance song. Didn't know you had it in you, Junno! <33 It's totally different than any of his other solos. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, actually. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Why is there no PV for this awesomeness? T___T I can just picture Junno singing this with a smug, bow-down-to-me smile lol. I really want to see his inner narcissist in all it's unleashed glory; it'd be such a wonderful sight. *o*

I forgot everything about CUW and the pv once I heard the b-sides. THEY OWN MY SOUL. I have never loved all the songs in a single this much before.

I am just so proud of them. I'm all out of flail..been flailing all night. Lol.

OMG, I JUST HEARD 'GIVE ME, GIVE ME'!! OMG, KAT-TUN IS SO AWESOME. AHLKHSAKJSK I'M HAVING TROUBLE COPING. I can't decide what to listen to, they're all just so amzing T__T

[ayuzak.livejournal.com]

You just want to give them all your money. It is so tiring, sometimes I wish they weren't so awesome.

can't comment on Girls, cause i haven't listened to it and not too curious either (i love it when i'm not feeling desperate for the new stuff )

but. the pv...why, i did like it...except i would've expected more of ueda's bad-ass strut through those flames, and wet!junno doing smth more than just...staring. but overall i liked it a lot better than NMP XD

I'm thinking his whole purpose is to add an illusion of a plot that is very clearly non-existent.
yeah. but what else can we expect? =.=

am I the only one who finds it creepy and over-used?
over-used yeah. and i have to admit i cracked up when i saw KT dancing in that cell. XD

I really want to see his inner narcissist in all it's unleashed glory; it'd be such a wonderful sight. *o*
it so would be...♥________♥

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

How can you be so calm?! prob becuz you ahven't listened to GIRLS yet lol. Listen to iiit.

Ah, I prefer NMP over this one. I dunno...I wanted something like DUES. A flimsy plot, but an overall clean PV. Like, I wanted to be awed by them, not...amused. -.-

*___* Junno def needs to show off is his narcissist side more often. I wish they had filmed NTT's perf on Heyx3. :(

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

I NEED THE PV IN HD.

IN THE MEAN TIME I CAN'T TEAR MY EARS AWAY FROM THE BSIDES. I THINK IT'S THE FIERCEST THINGS EVER THERE IS NO A SINGLE LESS THAN SPECTACULAR SONG EVERY SONG COULD BE RELEASED AS A SINGLE AND NEVER OVER IS THE HAPPIEST SONG ON THE PLANET, IN SHORT FUCK, SCORCHY, FUCK.

BEST THINGS EVER AND I CAN DO NOTHING BUT SWEAR.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

IT'S NOT FAIR. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO US? T___T I SRSLY CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO LISTEN TO. TOO MUCH AWESOMENESS. T____T

I CAN'T FIND 'NEVER OVER' D: D:

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

PMED. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

TOO MUCH AWESOME, TOO LITTLE FAIL. OMG I LOVE OUR COMPETITIVE BOYS. THIS IS HOW THEY RESPONDED TO A SHITTY YEAR.

SO INSPIRING. I WANNA LOVE THEM FOREVER.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

AND OH, REGGAE? LIES, ALL LIES!

NEXT TIME THEY MIGHT JUST DO SOMETHING LIKE GIRLS AGAIN AND NAME IT A BALLAD, I LOVE THEM SO HARD.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

IKR?!

JUNNO, YOU CONFUSING -CONFUSED?- DORK, ILU. <3

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

I thought the boy was really random, and why the hell did they use a foreigner? I could see why they did it for DUES, but jeez, what is up with casting international actors in their PVS...? K8 did it too and I'm sure it's been done in other groups... Also, the boy looked like a ghost. O.o

Overall I found the PV really messy.
I thought it would be just me who thought that. I found it really messy as well. Like, I love certain elements, but it felt disjointed to me too. It's great in parts, but not as one whole coherent thing. NMP >>> CUW in terms of PV. I look forward to the Making though. Like a lot, a lot.

ZOMG, NTT RULES THE WORLD. GIRLS also owns my soul, jsyk. Then again, all the B-sides do. What is this - I don't even know. O.O I'm so proud of Junno, ngl. He did so well with this song. I love this guy way too much. I didn't know what was reggae about it either tho, lol. It's totally a dancing song, and I can see why Maru was talking about Junno saying he totally danced to it in the car, lololol. And no wonder Maru said GIRLS was more tiring than CUW. xD

Eff, a PV for GIRLS would kill me. I've had this song on a loop for an hour + already. They need to perform this live SOMEWHERE. I cannot wait an entire year to see a live perf, wth.

I'm going to go ahead and say CUW is KT's best single ever, PV problems aside. Like, if we include everything - all the versions, A sides, B sides, etc - CUW comes out on top. I have never loved the B-sides as much as I love the ones on this single.

Besides GIRLS, the hyphen song is AMAZING, ZOMG. I love how each member sings the intro for another member with the others as back-up. It went KA --> T --> -T --> U --> N (N starting off with KA) in that cycle. But please tell me Junno's one of the voices saying 'Kazuya!' at the end of Kame's intro? lol

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

Ok. Good, so I'm not the only one thinking it. The foreign-ness bothered me too. Not trying to be racist here, but it just didn't fit. It made the whole gimmick even more awkward. =/

NMP >>> CUW in terms of PV.
Definitely. CUW had so much potential: the stage set was awesome, the elemental theme was awesome... In the end though, I don't think it delivered. I prefer KT's SC performance over this, tbh.

'GIRLS' IS SO AMZING IDEK. I think I went into shock the first time I heard it (inside I was screaming, 'BUT THIS ISN"T REGGAE!' lol). And Junno directed this song and everything, right? He's so genius *__* I'm boggled by how diff this is to his usual songs.

Junno saying he totally danced to it in the car
I'm totally imagining D-motion!Junno bobbing his hea to this song in his sunglasses and leather jacket XD

And no wonder Maru said GIRLS was more tiring than CUW
The choreo to this must be amazing. I'm thinking Koki break-danced to it, cuz that would be oh so perfect. *o*

I'm going to go ahead and say CUW is KT's best single ever
Agreed! omg, I'm becoming giddy thinking of them performing all the b-sides during their cons *____* It's like 'Right Now' x 4.

ACK! I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THE HYPHEN SONG , YET. D: *rushes off to listen*

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

It made the whole gimmick even more awkward. =/
Yeah, I feel that way too. :/

I prefer KT's SC performance over this, tbh.
Agreed. I think I'll like the live perfs over the PV and that's saying something.

(inside I was screaming, 'BUT THIS ISN"T REGGAE!' lol).
LOL. I think the Japanese have a different definition for it, maybe? xD I DUNNO.

And Junno directed this song and everything, right? He's so genius *__*
He did! He does share credit with Eiji Kawai for the music, but I'm taking that more to mean Junno's just starting out and needed help refining the final product. I'm so happy Junno's showing another side of himself here. AND IT IS GLORIOUS. BWAHAHAHAHA. \(*o*)/

I was thinking this, but just faster:



LOL. And also Junno dancing to Perfume. xDDDD

From what I gathered, the choreo isn't like super complicated. It's just the song's so fast. There's a lot of hand gestures...? But no one went into a lot of detail about it. :3

omg, I'm becoming giddy thinking of them performing all the b-sides during their cons *____*
Oh man, oh man, oh man... GLORIOUS, I TELL YOU. 8D Now, if only they can carry this streak over to their sixth album. This needs to happen, I need for this to happen for them. No wonder they were taking so long on this release - epicness takes time, y'know. ;)

ACK! I HAVEN'T LISTENED TO THE HYPHEN SONG , YET. D: *rushes off to listen*
Tell me what you think!!!! ♥________________♥

---> Re-listening to it and I just realised they inc every member's solo song T___T KAT-TUN HAS THE BEST MEMBER-AI. I've reahed my limit for my love for them. Like, it's reached the peak. It can't go any higher or I will explode. :|

Ikr. *______* It's like the best time to be a Junno stan. So proud of him. <33

Is it even possible to top this? Really? I can't imagine it, but KT, being so freakin awesome as they are, will prob manage. I think I will die when they do; looking forward to it~ 8D

Watched the Change Ur World PV and...what was up with that little boy
the PV could do without the little boy actually. XDD other than that fail, i love it!!!
i agree it's a bit disjointed compared to NMP though.

for some reason, my heart was beating so fast while watching. i figured it's a. i really really love the song and i still get eargasms after listening to it 411687453414364 times b. i really really love KAT-TUN and everything they do makes me go doki-doki c. i got turned on by kame - like always. ^_^

am i the only one who hasn't heard any of the b-sides yet?!!! i can't find it!!!
everyone's been flailing over GIRLS and i haven't listened to it yet.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I think I was expecting too much from CUW. The song is so awesome and it had so much potential...*sighs* Oh well, KT look awesome and the songs are awesome so I'm a pleased fan, nevertheless. :)

GIRLS is more than amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiRZBjJDNQI

MKGL;KDKJJ;NZDBSRJ[OJBZFL;DJ;LKJJ!!!

LISTENING TO REMEMBER!!
I FEEL LIKE IM IN A J-ROCK CONCERT WHERE EVERYONE'S HEAD BANGING AND JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME!!! THEY SHOULD PERFORM THIS LIVE!!

KAT-TUN WOULD ROCK THIS!!!

DLing the next one! XDD

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

'REMEMBER' IS MY FAV. THE GUITAR. KAME'S ROCK VOICE. KT'S ROCK VOICE. OH SO GOOOD. *____*

[brindhakrishnan.livejournal.com]

NTT Rocks!!~ Seriously..that unit can sell loads of songs I tell you!! If there is a petition to get them more recognised like Tegomass, I will sign it!! xDDD Still flailing and am at lost of words!

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

Speachless-ness is a sign that NTT is just. that. good. 'Girls' is such a great dance song. *o*

[brindhakrishnan.livejournal.com]

Ah..I finally had slightly more time to flail at KAT-TUN.
The dance bit of the PV is actually alright but I agree I am not sure if there was a need to have the little boy. And out of context. Would the boy even know KAT-TUN? But its so so cool.

Not sure if you checked out Aramatheydidn't but some of the non-kat-tun J.E. fans have been saying how KAT-TUN videos are super cool and seems like have alot of funds go into the making of it. And I actually think that is the highest praise. Having other group fans liking the video. And there is just general good feedback for the group on Arama which I was pleasantly suprised by. Since in the past, you might hear how T-TUN were just backdancers.

So overall, its a good piece of single release, me thinks. Let's wait and see more on the 17th! ;)

[brindhakrishnan.livejournal.com]

*I meant the dance bit was super cool.
