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?
