It hurts, you know! IT HURTS.

I.... pulled a muscle just now. FAAAAAARRRKKKKK.

Anyhoo. How are you?? I was back yesterday, actually. But had to finish some stuff up. Wouldn't want Maou Mode to get tainted now, would we. Will post some pix soon... once I've cornered the others who happened to have the misfortune of holding a camera while we were there. Tee-hee.

So, after a... 3-day? sojourn from the meme, I'll pick it up again.

30-Day Arashi Challenge
day 07 - Quote from a Non-Single Song (Album and B-side only)



...and life just gets harder and harder.

I can think of a looooooot. Really. But I'll settle for two this time around.

I love this particular verse.

Step by step, if there are no shortcuts, all we can do is continue in the path we believe in
If you should ever cry, let's meet here again.
- 5x10, trans by amnosxmatsujun  

There's a sense of... the "constant" in those verses, I feel. Like, no matter what, no matter where, there's always always that one constant focal point that would keep you grounded, reminding you that whatever happens, there's always something to go back to. ...does that make sense?

And this as well:

Don’t lose sight of your future
Go chasing after your endless dreams
The rain will clear, dawn will come
Our future will shine once more
- Carry On, lyrics by goro_chan  

I think this is essentially what Arashi's music is all about. Uplifting, encouraging, positive. Persistent, unflagging, just... forward-looking. Except for the odd dark ("truth") and stalkery ("monster") ones, of course.

I can name some more, but then that would defeat the purpose of this meme. The question/requirement was in the singular, and I broke it enough already by naming two. *sheepish*

Yours would be?

*goes back to catching up on the last 2 BBT eps I missed before heading back to my alma mater. not a fan of fixing documentation*

too many that I can't find the perfect one now... I will get back to you later xDDD

Found it :). "Still..." is one of top list songs :)

The days we can't go back are lovely
But tomorrow is waiting for us

Kinda fit with my constant mood swing. Reminds me of no matter how much we wish for the past to come back, we still have tomorrow awaits for us.

I only first heard of STILL... during the AAA 08 con. I never knew of that song until that time~

See? Constant. :)

that's why I really really like Carry On from their Time album even if aft first I didn't know the meaning of the words..

The title alone is uplifting. And it also has one of my fave song intros. XDD

*winces* Pulling a muscle sucks...

That's true...it's nice that they're songs are like that. It's encouraging, if you think about it ^^

It's still sore-stiff.

I guess that's why "truth" made such an impact the first time it came out, coz it was different.

i find most japanese have the world most beautiful lyrics ever before or after translate, the language is always 'flowery' and very inspiring :P

if u ask me, my favourite quote should be during tokei jikake, aimiya's engrish - nino : takaku fly~ me, aiba: do u wanna with me?

haha <3 love them.

First time I heard it, I thought it was "do you wanna do me?"
*gets bricked*
