and i like songs with beats that use string instruments...
the use of the harpischord in the beginning is super kool~

Top Secret

1) What was your first impression of the song?
I also first saw it on youtube around 9 to 10 months ago, and I immediately had respect for Ohno. I was like, "wow. he can dance." I wasn't that impressed with the song itself, though.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
I still don't think it's the best SONG in the world, but I have definitely gotten used to it and I think I listen to/watch it at least once in two weeks or so. The dancing still blows me away! It's my favorite solo by Captain.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Since we're talking about Captain, it's gotta be the lines that bring out his vocals!
Kono shunkan anata no hitomi
Tsunagatteru ne FACE TO FACE
NOTHING TO SAY BUT wakatteru yo
ima no kimochi wa FEEL ALRIGHT

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
I would either like to make this whole song English or the whole song Japanese. It's too much mixed together..

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
The first time I saw it on youtube, my mother happened to pass by and she was like, "wow, who's that?" i told her he was an arashi member. she goes, "he can dance." Haha.
..And the first time I heard it (and perhaps for months following then) I always wondered if it was "Ima no kimochi wa FEEL alright" or "BE alright." Can never tell with Japanese people.. hahaha. [[says a Japanese person.]]

Top Secret
1) What was your first impression of the song?
first time, i was like "eh?! is that really Riida? sugoiiii~~" he really can dance, and he's GREAT!
and the song, i like the intro music, the whole song + the dance make me watch it xxxxtimes after that

2) What's your current impression of the song?
i do agree with happiegurlie, don't think it's the best SONG either, but i DO started to RESPECT Riida after watching this perf... wow,he impressed me much ^_^ still watching those HOT steps!

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Kimi no moto e ima sugu mm...
someway i like it when he sings this part...hmm

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
though i think there's nothing wrong with the whole song...but then, it always distracts me when it comes to these lines
"...i wish be with you" and that "...Feel alright!"

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
my lil sis watch the vid and she asked me,boldly "sis, why this guy dances like a girl?" i was like, "hey, WHAT THE..?!! like a GIRL? hell NO!!
i was so GOD, what on earth make she thinks like that? ughh.. later she told me, it's the hips-shakira-things, she just don't like it,haha..but then,she said she still like the song,and Ohno.. so, okay, fine then

Well, i own the NOW tour but the Yokohama version and had never seen Arashi in concert, only in talk shows so:

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
I was like "HOLY COW! LOOK AT OHNO GO!" i always read Ohno was an amazing dancer, and this definantly got me thinking that and the lyrics, seem a bit naughty witht he whole "secret love thing" or im probably thinking too much
2) What's your current impression of the song?
I LOVE IT!

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Call from you
Your voice whispering "I'm missin you"
I can't stop, this feeling.
Right now with your permission mm...

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
not one
5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
when i saw trhis it was about 3 AM and i got up and danced with my dog ^.^;;; the song was that cool!! [/b]

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
The dance was nice. ^^ I was like "Whoa...leader can dance..."

2) What's your current impression of the song?
It's good...I wouldn't pick it specifically to listen to, but if it came up on my iTunes/iPod, I wouldn't change it either.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
The random English words scattered in...

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
None. It'd take away the Ohnoiness from it.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
Uh...my friend obsessed over for about a week. That's all she'd listen to and everytime I turned on my iPod, it'd either be that performance or that song...

^this is a random, but takeshi, i really like the quote you have as your signature!

, the great translation done by pinknailz

1) What was your first impression of the song?
I heard it back when I wasn't much of an Arashi fan, and skipped it every time it came up on ArashiC because the beginning made me think, "oh man, it's one of those boring ballads..."

2) What's your current impression of the song?
I finally got around to listening to it completely after I became a nino fan i really like the chorus and nino sounds sweet (i love his voice in this song!), still not one of my favorites though

I saw a fancam where he performed it this past summer and thought he looked more mature...

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
lyrics-wise, i really like the line:
Yasashisa wa itsu datte sabishisa wo tsureteru
(Kindness always bears loneliness)

but singing/melody-wise, i really like these lines:
Gyutto nigiriau te to te ni
Shinjita yume wa ugokidasu
Kimi wo zutto wasurenai yo
Amai yuuzora ga tokete yuku
(Firmly grasping each other’s hands
The believed dream starts to move
I won’t ever forget you
The sweet evening sky, melts away)

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
Nothing really, the song's just sweet in general...for some reason it makes me think of Nino as a little kid

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell. Is it bad that I went from not liking the song to liking it just because I found out it's nino's quasi-solo??

What a cute thread this is. I'm sad that I missed the "Top Secret" discussion as I love that song/performance from Ohno.

Caramel Song

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
- It sounded Christmasy. It had a touch of innocence to it, with the kids yelling happily in the intro.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
- It's okay. Not crazy about it, but it's nice. Nino actually sings this song quite well.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?

- Kuchi ni dashitara kitto sukoshi komarudarou na
Tonari de te ga fureru dakete tsutawaranai kana: Sayonara.

-Sono te wo nobashite
Yuuyami ga mada
Hoshi wo tsukamaeyou
Semaru sono mae
Tsunagi tometai honto wa...

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
- None comes to mind.

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell
- Nothing. Just that Nino looked really nice performing it live. I love those button down shirts he wears whenever he sings solos.

Caramel Song

1) What was your first impression of the song?
the first time i heard it was when i bought the Arashic album...
i was JUST about to skip it...
(cuz it came after "Ready to Fly" and i really like that song so kinda wanted to listen to it again)...
BUT... me, being a Nino fan... heard Nino's voice...
and immediately turned up the volume...
and i actually liked it (maybe cuz of Nino... AT FIRST)!!

2) What's your current impression of the song?
i actually like the song...
sometimes i still think it's cuz i like listening to Nino's voice...
but as i listen to the lyrics...
it's just really touching...

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
Kuchi ni dashitara kitto sukoshi komarudarou na
I bet if I say it aloud, you’ll be a bit troubled
Tonari de te ga fureru dakete tsutawaranai kana 「Sayonara.」
Beside you, can’t you tell just from our hands touching? “Goodbye.”

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
none... i love that Nino has a lot of lines here...
it seems like it's almost his solo
plus... the lyrics are sad and touching
(for some reason... i love those kinda of songs)

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
just like Reichan2... i started liking the song just cuz of Nino...
but as i listen to it more... i start liking it more and more...
also... i think it's perfect that they use Nino for this song...
i can't really imagine other members for it

Caramel Song

1) What was your first impression of the song?
I think I saw the lyrics somewhere first, and that got me to listen to the song. Nino sounds good, is what I thought.

2) What's your current impression of the song?
I actually like it a lot, although not as much as his Iza Now solo. I guess I just really like the lyrics, not the song itself.

3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
When I heard/read this part, I almost melted.
Zutto boku no takaramono sa
Okashii gurai kimi ga suki
That second line will always make me smile.

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
None. This song is nicely written. ^^

5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
It's the most played pick-up song from ARASHIC on my iPod.

Caramel Song

1) What was your first impression of the song? (i.e. beat, lyrics, live dance, etc.)
~ I first heard it when we dld it. XD;; We had no money to buy the album back then so: *lol* I thought it was a kiddie song. No really. o_0 Not like "Jack and Jill" or "Baa Baa Black Sheep" XD; But a song about kids. Probably because of the laughter at the start and end of the song. xD'
2) What's your current impression of the song?
~ It's a break up song sang by an eleven year old. ;___; <3
3) What is your favorite line (or lines)?
~ Hm. I don't really have any fave parts. XD; But I do love the voice blending in these lines:
Sono te wo nobashite
Yuuyami ga mada
Hoshi wo tsukamaeyou
Semaru sono mae
Tsunagi tometai honto wa

4) What line (or lines) do you not like/would change?
~ It's perfect.
5) A random experience you've had with the song and/or anything else you wanna tell.
~ Well, I was freaked out because of the squeaky sound somewhere in the middle of the song. x__X When I heard it I thought "OMG. Was that a ghost!? x___X" Yeah. =D Then when I heard it in the album already I guess it really was some recording defect or something. x_X; It really was freaky. lol
