Okay, have you guys read the translation for Kitto Daijoubu? Who would've expect the lyrics to be rather H eh? After reading the translation, I am rather disappointed that the music and choreography didn't justify the content of the lyrics. Or maybe I am just reading the lyrics wrong?

Anyway, what's your take of the new Arashi single, Kitto Daijoubu?

>Wish I could do a better introduction to this thread, but I have to go for dinner now.<

Talk away! I want to read your thoughts on the song, especially Sho's rap. Ha...ha...ha...   

Oh, and what the heck is the relevance of this song for the C1000 Vitamin drink they are promoting?! 

Here's the translation to it [credits goes to noesunexito at LJ arigatou]

You'll Definitely Be Okay

When I was driving in the night
I noticed that still, for sure, in the sky's twilight
There were no stars, (nothing) was lit
But not yet, you shouldn't cry cry cry
Tell me what u wanna "ah ah"
Weekend gonna make luv "ah ah"
from monday to sunday
every every every day
lucky lucky lucky my life

Lucky lucky babe, my job is the last of my groove(1)
Today, today will be pretty fun, babe!
Until dawn!
Scrape, scrape, my emotions are just right(2)
Isn't it okay! It's not bad! Isn't it love?

If I resurrect faded memories, (i see) you laughing
The footprints of a younger season
Disappear, glimmering amongst the waves

Say bye-bye now to this place where the same members
always talked together and burn the image of this scenery into your heart
Let's step forward into tomorrow!

Lucky lucky babe, my job is the last of my groove
Today, today will be pretty fun, babe!
Until dawn!
Scrape, scrape, my emotions are just right
Isn't it okay! It's not bad! Isn't it love?

"How are you today, baby?" Senpai is awfully formal(3)
An invitation that's almost a command
I manage my personal appearance, Lady
L.U.C.K.Y. D.A.Y.(s)(4)
pass by, pass by, and it's a new world
"It's delight(ful)!"
Why don't you try changing your seat, for example?
wicked wicked wicked everytime

Say bye-bye now to this place where the same members
always talked together and burn the image of this scenery into your heart
Let's step forward into tomorrow!

You'll definitely be okay
A detour isn't so bad sometimes!
Don't-Don't worry about something like that!
Relax, why don't you take a break?
Let's sing it again!

Lucky lucky babe, my job is the last of my groove
Today, today will be pretty fun, babe!
Until dawn!
Scrape, scrape, my emotions are just right
Isn't it okay! It's not bad! Isn't it love?

Lucky lucky babe, my studies are also the last of my groove
Today, today will also be pretty fun, babe!
Until dawn!
Scrape, scrape, the neighborhood festival, too
Isn't it okay! It's not bad! Isn't it love?

Let's get back to the hook

If you open the window, the sky tomorrow should also be clear
That'll surely become provisions, enjoy today without them running out(5)
If I could meet my impatient self from those days
My emotions. I'd convey them. With a yell; "Take Charge! Make your dreams Large!"(6)


(1) If this doesn't make sense it's because Arashi says in katakana-fied engrish "last (of) of my groove. What that means I'm not too sure but please enlighten me on your hypothesis.
I wrote "today" twice to follow the patterning of the song, where words are repeated (or falsely repeated) like "lucky lucky" and then "nakanaka" (a false repetition, naka is repeated twice but "nakanaka" means "pretty/quite") and then "shaka shaka".
And yes, the "babe" is in english too hahaha.
(2) Hachibunme literally means 8/10 but it figuratively means "in moderation." I chose "just right" because "in moderation" seems more subdued than what they're really trying to say, which is that their emotions aren't too over the top, but just right.
(3) These three lines are written in polite speech form, which is surprising because most songs (and the rest of this song) is written in informal style. A senpai is someone older than you or your senior in something and you're supposed to use polite speech with them. Sho's raps are usually quite nonsensical so I didn't do much to alleviate the nonsensicality but i'm guessing that he's dating an older woman who's his sempai?
(4) The letters in parenthesis are my attempts to correct engrish :)
(5) Yeah this is a strange metaphor that the lyric writer wrote. I guess it's like, happiness = food so don't let your happiness/food run out? I don't know Arashi songs like not making sense.
(6) Literally "Your dreams (should be) huge, realize them like so." The point of this little quip is the fact that it rhymes (Yume wa dekkaku kou egaku) so i took a little more liberty to make it rhyme.

Well...for me, I don't think it's H... If you ask me, I think it's just about them being "lucky" guys, ya know... Anyway, that's just my opinion...Hopefully it ain't H after all That's gonna make me feel bad, I don't want them to be wild like the other boy bands...

Really?! There IS a possibility! Yay for Arashi~!

Wait, what time? And day?

O_O But we have NHK!! Ack too bad I don't watch it much... ><

Anyway, about Kitto Daijoubu, I'm really disappointed if it IS H. It's just not Arashi. I really don't mind if others think they're too goody-two-shoes or anything, because that is Arashi. Changing their image...I don't think I agree with it too much -__-;;;

Double meaning, I know. Even using it for C1000? :shock: Still, the fact that they made it have double meanings or soft H really disturbs me :/ Don't know why...like it's not Arashi, really. And the fact that it's Sho's rap that ruined the song (for me)! How can you not think it's H when it's meant to have double meanings? It's like playing innocent?

Oh well, it's really their choice if they want to do it like that. Surprisingly, their choreography is nowhere near H (thank goodness). I don't have anything against Arashi

hehe, I love that song Sho's Touch Me Now I mean, though I don't like Jun's w/me. Can't elaborate as some might kill me for it  Besides, they're big boys now, as long as it's not as blatant as some groups that we know of *nodding to jihunny

ermmm

well, since 99% of their fans r gal~ maybe JE wanna turn their fans on?? 
 

i mean.. make them love them more cuz they r getting sexier/hotter???? 

You could see the clip on youtube.
