May 18, 2016 - release of Arashi's double A-side single, I Seek/Daylight
Thanks to the ever prompt fangirls, I was able to download the PV + making yesterday and of course, the tracks.
M1. I seek
Lyrics: ASIL/Music: AKJ & ASIL/Arrangement: 石塚知生
A song that will make you groove. It's about love that someone could be uncertain of, just as what
世界一難しい恋 (Sekai ichi Muzukashii Koi) is about. This is the OST of Ohno's new drama.
"こんなに愛したい 君に恋したい
まだまだまだ 恋がないない"
(I want to love you so much, I want to fall in love with you
But I can't call this “love” just yet)
is my favorite line.
It's sort of sad to hear, but with the jazzy kind of melody, you won't feel any lonely and just look forward to that love that "I SEEK".
The PV gives off that mood too. A house party, everyone. 😉
M2. Daylight
Lyrics: stereograph/Rap lyrics: Sho Sakurai/Music: Simon Janlov, wonder note/Arrangement: 佐々木博史
This is the OST of Matsujun's drama, 99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi. The song has this feel from "To Be Free" and its PV is very simple with some similarities with their mellow singles.
I love how the title "Daylight" was literally incorporated in the PV. Just the view of them singing to this heartwarming song is enough.
The first line was really striking, and as translated:
"Everyone experiences the same kind of regrets, but they don't want their dreams to end
So they try to change themselves and walk forward to the future"
And I agree.
M3. Tadaima
Lyrics: paddy/Music: Kehn mind/Arrangement: metropolitan digital clique
Another song written for the fans. Arashi did not compose the lyrics themselves but with them singing it, you can feel their gratitude and longing for those who have been supporting them all these days. Oh how lovely it would be, when they sing this in their Arena tour and the fans would sing the "Okaeri" part. It makes me sob just by the thought of it 😢
"会えない時間は君のことを
考えてたんだ いつだってそう
どんなに遠くても 絶対
忘れることなんてないよ
Even the times when we can't meet you We're thinking of you all the time
No matter how far apart we may be We'll never forget about you"
Who would not cry with this line? 😭
M4. supersonic
Lyrics: 100+/Music: Kevin Charge, David Fremberg, youth case/Arrangement: 吉岡たく
Your typical party song from Arashi. This would definitely turn the audience up when sung in a concert. It's a bit of a technopop so even westerners would probably enjoy it.
What I like about this single is the balance with its tracks. The title tracks have different genres so you won't get tired listening to it consecutively, plus, the couplings are definitely well-made to go along with the main songs that serves as soundtracks for a drama.
Now, I have to watch the Making.
Make sure to listen to I seek/Daylight single, everyone! the PV is a bonus 👍
