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 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

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!!!! ♥________________♥

"OK, LISTENING TO NEVERXOVER, NOW. INTRO REMINDS ME OF NEW'S ABO. XDD

I'M TOTALLY FEELING THE ELECTRO EFFECTS AND OMG, IT TOTALLY JUST CHANGED AND IS THAT MARU RAPPING?

---> 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. :|

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

KAT-TUN HAS THE BEST MEMBER-AI.

OMG YES. WHAT IS THIS SOMETIMES-LOVE, SOMETIMES-ANTAGONISTIC, SOMETIMES-AFFECTIONATE, SOMETIMES-RESPECTFUL BUT ALWAYS LOVELOVELOVE MEMBER-AI?

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I SWEAR, THIS SONG IS LIKE A BIG THANK YOU TO THE FANS AND EACH OF THE MEMBERS T____T

It reminds me of their SC performances when they used to introduce each other in their squeaky-voiced raps. Look how far they've come. <33 It's like a song of aknowledgment lol.

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

They have gone from cutesy to really hardcore. I sensed their effort in it, omg it's so amazing. It's so personalized, I feel like they are really speaking their hearts to you. <3333333 this is so gonna be a lust affair that will go forever.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I sensed their effort in it
This. I can feel it and I love them even more for it. <33

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

NEVERXOVER IS EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I WANTED IN A KAT-TUN SONG. ♥______________________________♥

And this is a song for the fans. We're supposed to sing this with them! *o*b Parts of it, anyway, lol.

So it is Junno's 'Kazuya'? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Hehehehe...

Re-listening to it and I just realised they inc every member's solo song T___T
Oh? ♥______♥ I figured that's what they did, but I feel a bit like a failure for not recognizing anyone's except Ueda's right away. (Zomg, they call him Tacchan! That makes me happy, lol.) Koki also includes 'Iriguchi, Deguchi, Taguchi!' ♥ FOREVER. I can't wait until we get the official lyrics. -needs a printed copy, horrible listening skills- OTL

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. :|
THIS x1000.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

It's like a medley of all their solos packaged into a KT-flavoured gift package to the fans. <33 And they had to have written the lyrics together I wonder how frustrated they got lol *____*

I'm 99.9% positive it was Junno. ^_~

hey call him Tacchan!
They're going public with the nicknames. <333 And zomg, I didn't hear Koki say that! I neeed the lyricas asap. So much love in this song. *o*

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

I want them to talk about this song and give us more insight into it, lol. CUW is all well and good, but now I feel like it's being over-shadowed by the B-sides. XDDDD

Yay! It's not just my wishful thinking, lol.

Love them going public with the nicknames. They also use Yucchi. ♥ Actually, Kame says it (♥!), but I said Koki because the lyrics are supposedly all him (and some Minori person, lol). 8D He must've gotten at least some input from the members, but his last Manual makes more sense because he said he wrote over 120 bars of rap this time around for all the songs put together? ;D

Dude, they should just go onto Shounen Club and perform all the B-sides. xD

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

It's def being over-shadowed xP It's a pretty good song...but the B-sides. ugh, so good.

Awww, Yucchi <33 So cute! And how is Koki so amazing? I love that he's the one who wrote; they're bound to be fluffy in a gangsta type way. xD

YESSSS *o* I can't wait for the MS perf, too! I really want to see Junno fanboy over Perfume lol.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy Junno's showing another side of himself here. AND IT IS GLORIOUS. BWAHAHAHAHA. \(*o*)/
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

[alienashi.livejournal.com]

They keep surprising me, omg i love them so fucking much. It's pretty impossible just a day ago, but they proved me wrong! OMG

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

IT IS THE BEST TIME. \(*o*)/ I want to take this as a good sign of things to come - like hopefully, he has some actual solo activities for 2011. -hopes, hopes, hopes-

Is it even possible to top this? Really?
I have no idea, but if they hold on to whatever ~magic~ they used here, then it's totally possible. I HAVE FAITH. 8D

Oh, I wish they could perform one of the B-side songs at Countdown. I have a feeling they'll end up performing Going!, though. xDDDD;;

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling they'll end up performing Going!, though.
NOOOOOOO! ;o;

[krysyuy.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, BB, I KNOW. ;____________;

For Countdown, I feel like they will deliberately perform a 5nin only song, which cuts down their choices considerably. And Going! is sort of the up-beat, happy song they would perform for New Year's/JE con. (Then again, they did perform RESCUE, so maybe, if they're thinking about their image, The-Powers-That-Be will assign them CUW instead.)

This is all just spec, but they'll for sure be singing an A-side song. Damnit.

[scorch66.livejournal.com]

I will take CUW over Going! but I will take any of the b-sides over both. Srsly, who divides the songs into A-side and B-side? They're going about it backwards. -.-
