Johnny's Rock: Arashi & KAT-TUN
Well, seeing as summer is now officially upon me, I decided on my ride home that I want to provide something at least a little interesting to the world of VOX (Because lord knows no one really enjoys reading about my romance problems).
So, I decided to talk about two things I really enjoy: Rock and Japanese boy bands. From Johnny's Entertainment. Combined, of course.
The reason is, while I do love me some JE boys, my favorite genre happens to be rock, not cutesy-bubbly-boy-pop. You can imagine my extreme pleasure when I discovered a few songs that happened to be more of the former than the latter.
My goals in creating this segment to my blog will be as such:
(*Note: I won't ever say anything useful. I am not reviewing. I am just telling. Very badly. With lots of fangirling.)1. Introducing rock songs by JE boys to previously uninformed fangirls (or boys, whatever)
2. Discovering more rock songs by JE boys to enjoy
3. Stimulating discussion and other scholarly-sounding things about JE rock songs (NOT)
4. Enjoying JE boys rocking out hardcore
Simple, yes? Let's get started!
Rhodesia
Track: 6
Either way, though, this is a solid piece and is still one of my favorite songs by the band. I love rocking out to it.
Cry for you
Album: Time
Track: 9
My favorite JE band has a rock song! Holy crap! Ahhhh!
Those were my thoughts when this song first came on shuffle. Or more, when the chorus came on. Cry for you is a very un-Arashi-like song, with a darker, cooler feeling compared to some of their other ones (you know, like Love so sweet? haha). Obviously, I about peed my pants from excitement when I had heard it all the way through, just because Arashi + guitar = awesome. Okay enough fangirling. Point is, I love this song.
In essence, I am obsessed with these kinds of songs, and I can't wait to find more. That's really the whole point of this segment. I just want more JE rock. Please give me some. I'll talk about it. But really I just wanna listen.
Next time: KAT-TUN "Lips" and... ???
