I actually love that Nino uchiwa (dream alive), I'm serious!
It makes him look retro-chic xDD (it's a somewhat "mod" look.. not "mop" look xD)
The auction photos are either too small or too slanted so this is my best effort using those as 'references'...
I'm sure Nino chan uchiwa looks better in real life lols.
aaah I wonder how's their concert going ^^ **EDIT: ooh! apparently there's an OhmiyaSK revival!! *o*

Ok here's a post re my ramblings on the album - not comparing with their other albums ('cause I love them all!) nor originality ('cause it's arashi.. it's like you'd support your little brothers no matter what they do (as long as it's legal xD)).. nor other JE groups... 'cause.. I only heard of one song from Smap ("Natsu", thanks to Nino-chan), a few songs from KK (all because of "zenbu dakishimete", courtesy of Nino-chan again lols), one song from V6, one song from K8, none from Tokio, none from KT (my friend's karaoke doesn't count..!), none from .. what's that group? the one that has yamap?,  oh.. and one from HSJ 'cause it's impossible to not heard that one already since they hijacked their place into arashi's concert.. we're being forced fed! xD

So, long story short, here's just my preference/reaction to the Dream "A" live... into TWO categories in no particular order =) EDIT: I most likely need to create an in-between category lols, another time!

Category 1: Songs that I currently like a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!!!!!1:
 
Gimmick Game - aah Nino-chan's done it again! I love it even more after the ohmiya love song + sho curry revelation <3 no, not biased!!

Hip Pop Boogie - best Sho song ever! more details later, brain not working currently one-two-one-two!

Happiness - I still love this song to bits! Brought back fond memories of hearing this live first time: happy tears all the way xDD

虹の彼方へ - very similar feel to Happiness, still smiling ^^

Flashback - love this to bits! It's my kind of laidback chilled out song~

Dive into the Future - Nice and cool and a bit jazzy, which I like. Chorus could be better I think.. nonetheless, I like it.. and the sentence  "Dive into the Future"  keeps reminding me of that Satoshi and Sho song "Oretach no song" xD maybe that's why I like it so much xD

声 - a very typical (yet beautiful) melody and ballad... but... so much love! I was in the mood of liking this song when first listening to this. love it.

Once Again - wow! no more words for now...

Take me faraway - WOW! definitely no more words for now.. Ohchan~!

Naked - best Jun song ever!! love the laid back chilled out sophisticated sekushi sound... the quiet drum'n'bass is smooth~ this song suits Jun's voice too!

Category 2: Songs that I currently like a lot :D
 
Theme song - hmmm full of fantasy wonders.. but I have to admit my favorite bits start after 0:42 when it breaks into the arashi jazzy disco funk xDD

Move your body - this song blew me away when they first leaked it.. I still like it a lot it's just that other songs overtaken its spot lol.

Life Goes On - more details later.. I like this a lot,  it's playful (although some parts too loud xD)

Step n Go - yes, I still like this a lot! super Nino-chan yellow cape <33

Hello Goodbye - Very nice sort of folky-rock band feel but the melody is a bit too.. common? Still, I like it a lot! Aiba-san~!

シリウス - I like the first part a lot a lot, when Nino sang quietly.. but then the song production got louder and louder and louder..! If they cut down on the overproducing part.. this song will definitely in that first category =) (another reason I love "Flashback", 'cause it's straight after this song lols)

Do My Best - I like the upbeat melody and energy (would be AWESOME live).. but, on album.. too loud xD overproduced! xDD though, this would make a great opening song for an anime show or something, love the chorus!

YOUR SONG - same as "Do My Best", too loud xD (I guess that's why the title is in cap lols).. it's a nice song to keep singing at the end over and over and over again but.. a little bit less overproduced and better balance on the "all sing together now" voices would be nice.. don't wanna sound like they're all yelling on top of each other. I love their individual parts though!

My Answer - when Sho starts this with "Yeah-yeah! Hah-hah-ha-ha!".. I thought YATTAMAN is coming to town xD Nice song.. but yeah, some parts are a bit too loud (ie. over produced) lols.

So there you go, I like all songs! I would choose this over TIME too depends on mood of the day lols.. but then again, both albums have their strengths =)

PS: might add more details, might not lols. Anyway, catch up later! Have a good week all!
