[M-Sta] Arashi - Meikyuu Love Song

November 11, 2011

I am going to see if I still remember how to do this. Some guilty pleasures, you can try but you never grow out of. How long has it been? Did you hear that there's a new Johnny's group called Sexy Zone? Well, as horrible as the group's name is, I can easily name a handful with a worse name.

[Their clothes, so much nicer nowadays, no? Except that blasphemous vest Aiba's got on. Jeez, there's always something weird on someone.]

My problem is the age. When you combine the age with the group name, one question comes to mine, "What the fucking hell?" These kids' balls have yet to drop, they have yet to hit puberty and here they are, calling themselves... THAT and saying that its their aim, to display their sexiness.

[On average, their debut age is two years younger than Arashi's 16, wasn't it? But I believe there's a bigger age gap with the new one. And the members of Arashi wondered why they got the joke of a costume while these kids slid through with roses.]

Kids, what have these adults done to you? Japanese. Tsk tsk tsk. But when they claimed to want to emulate Arashi's success, I find it endearing. It made me proud that the once dud group can now truly claim supreme. No one can deny that with what they have achieved.

[You can tell Aiba's all, "I'm an awesome senior now!" Ahh Aiba.]

While they might not be selling as much, let us not forget their successful concerts, movies and the dramas. It is like a tag team, how they throw out dramas each season. I have to admit that while I collect, I no longer watch. I am saving them for rainy days. Well, more like I really don't feel the pull as intensely.

[Candle Sho. Oh, how your image has been damaged since the olden days when you were the University graduate with like... etiquettes and composure and all sorts of shizzles. Times change. I believe it started around 2006, his decline. During an episode of Shukudai-kun.]

But the variety shows, I watch religiously and have done so all along, even with my absence here. During Nishino Kana's talk, they touched on aromatherapy candles. Sho, disgraceful. Embarrassingly so. xD I remember that topic coming up during VS Arashi.

[And the members, too, are weirded out.]

He thinks its cool, Aromatherapy. No bro, its kinda weird that you gotta fake it.

Candle Sho. Even his members were weirded out. Like, the legend of Candle Sho. xDDD

I still cannot get over that new group's name. Jeez, Sexy Zone. SEXY ZONE, do you know the youngest is 11 years old? I call this the weird-kid-Usher-discovered-effect. Then again, Japan was doing young before the western civilisations did.

[Dear Sho, its not working. I want to laugh when I see your face and remember your fail face during VS Arashi. Fail, Sho. Fail.]

Did you see those dandy dance moves? Were they supposed to draw girls in? What the hell is up with that rose on their microphones? It is a whole new level of weird. Then again, Johnny's had been doing weird since the 1980s. Don't let me bring that up.

These kids are serious brown-nosers, and true that Arashi is at the point where all the others should try that on them. Not that they are the new SMAP. I don't see a single selling two million copies. But in this era, it is hard.

I like how Arashi is actually nice to their juniors though. Remember how KinKi Kids were. Wait, I correct myself, remember how DoTs was? No, wait, SMAP? Well there were friendly moments, but it wasn't Arashi's foolish musings. These really help. Though Jun did say something about KinKi being there helped or something.

Well then again, I am biased. I wonder if they looked at these kids and remember how they were when they first started out. Like with every group, you could tell right away who were the duds and who were the so-called 'stars' with the new one.

Dude, 11 years old. We shall see diapers on stage very soon. Wait for it. And they'll call them sexy poo.

The song, we'll leave the song for if and when I do the PV for Meikyuu. Its okay, but I was actually more hooked on that stupid Sexy Zone song. It is such an embarrassment. Well, what do you expect? It is so catchy!
