It wasn't anything remarkable but whenever i'm a bit bored and sleepy at the office that i don't want to continue doing my work, when i hear it...well... makes me want to continue working... like Arashi is whispering to me... Everybody Zenshin, Come on everybody... LOL! serioulsy, it does seem like they're whispering to you

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)? I liked the entire opening stanzas but then i read the lyrics i realized that i liked this part more too:

"You’ve reached a dead end and there’s nothing you can do about it
There are times where you’ve almost given up
However
I want you to concentrate on the image of success
Without forgetting about the things you enjoy (even if it’s more difficult than usual)"

It's still one of my fave songs from Time.. So, no change.

i knew Ohno can dance.. and the others too.. but somehow... i don't know why... i just DIDN"T think that Nino can dance too. LOL

1. What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
i ignored the song completely as i listened to the whole album because the intro is not kinda upbeat... but when i heard the "c'mon boys and girls" (whatever, not so sure), i decided to listen to it, and i instantly fell in love with it! And the fancam live dance was also sugoiii!!!

2. What's your current impression of the song?
it has a good meaning (based on the translation). And the smooth flow of music is really relaxing...

3. What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Your eyes I see in front of me become pure white inside my head
The very small plan I had on hand won’t be of any use
It’s a no joke love situation

and

The beating of my heart pierces through my chest
And pours down from above you
Soft kindness Always warmth
I want to give you all happiness

4. What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
the above lines are too perfect!!

5. A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
this is a part of my arashi-poem sequence... i really like to incorporate this song with my feelings but now, i think it will never be...

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I thought it was really catchy and very cute. The part that made me fall in love with the song was the hook before the last chorus.
2) What's your current impression of the song?
Still loving it! I listen it to this all the time.
3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
始まってく　自分なりに少しずつ
近づきたい・・・
4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
笑えない ラブ・シチュエーション
5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
I heard this song in summer in my friend's car because he was the one who introduced Arashi with me and even though it was a hot day, the windows were all open and on the highway, I put my hand out and it felt so refreshing against the wind

OMG! I can't believe I never noticed this thread. But I love LOVE SITUATION So I guess this is the perfect time to reply.

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.) Honestly I thought the song would be irritating because of the intro. With the trumpets and the "hello, hello boys and girls" I couldn't tell what kind of song this would be. Besides with the title Love Situation I thought it'd be a slow love song. I was so wrong.

2) What's your current impression of the song? Right now, I LOVE IT! It's one of my favorite songs from the Time album. The song is so sweet and CUTE and Jun's voice - so sexy.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Favorite line...definitely Jun's Chikajikitai

But I also love this line:

shiawase subete agetai (I want to give you all the happiness)

I love the chorus in general, it's catchy


4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
none.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
The performance for it is so cute. My eyes were focused on Riida and Jun the entire time. I wish I wasn't limited to a fancam.
