I've already downloaded the regular edition, and I love it. I'm tempted to buy the limited edition, but... I need my parents' permission to use their credit card, and I'm not so sure they'd be happy with me buying it...

Oh, and my favorites thus far on the album are Oh Yeah!, Taiyou no Sekai, and Rock You. Love so Sweet is also definitely one of my favorites, but the songs that were already released weren't supposed to count, right?

Ahh.... then I'm a bad girl since I used her credit card account before telling her.... ~sigh~

(but I promise to transfer back the money! TT___TT)

Yep, Since Love So Sweet is released as Single, I think we just should give some more chance to other songs! smile

But the rest of the songs are just nice, don't you think so? drooling

Definitely love all the other songs on the album. Just, Love so Sweet is really really... addicting. I suppose that might be as close an adjective as I can find.

So, I'm contemplating buying the limited edition, but is there a difference between all these Korean, Japanese, and Hong Kong versions? Sorry I'm a complete newb at this >.>

my recent purchase would be arashi 7th album time. it had it pre-ordered, at yesasia so i got the limited edition ones. i was going to get the normal version too but it's too expensive. but anyways, i was really excited when it first came in the mail. this album is great...i'm really enjoying it. all the songs rocks!!! nino+aiba songs are great. i just listened to it the other when i was at the gym.

I pre-ordered the limited one from the CD shop that I'm used to and I got it in the day that it's been released. Actually now I'm considering buying the regular one but still, I don't wanna spend too much. what should I do???

I like almost all the songs in this album. To me, it sounds grown-up. It's easier to listen and very fun in the same time. I'm especially impressed by the solos. Very great album!!

My most favorite song in this album is Kaze. And solos I love them all!
I'm also a crazy fangirl that bought both limited and regular edition.

I think limited edition is good enough and no need to buy regular but this is also hard to make a decision because the regular also fascinating LOL. If you don't want to spend too much anymore,I think you no need regular. Regular ed. just added more booklet and bonus track.And all stuffs you can dl in many websites or blogs,right?
Conclusion,^^
In my opinion if you need to collect this edition and spending money doesn't make you be in trouble. Just buy it.
(Sorry this maybe not a good advice "^^ I was baited by beautiful booklet.gosh!)

Now that I have listened to the album gazillion times and seen translations I can give my report big grin

1. Oh Yeah! || *****
When I received the album, I decided to listen it in one go. But somehow it ended up me repeating the first track XDDD I love this song! It's an excellent choice for an opening track. Looking at the name of composer.. Ohmiya??

2. Love so sweet || **
I'm not a fan of the song. Lyrics are ok. But the melody is just.. not for me. And I think the PV was blaah.

3. WAVE || *
One of the worst songs in the album. The melody sounds like the song will never end. I always skip this track since it gives me headache.

4. We can make it! || ****
From recent theme songs (Happiness, Love so sweet, We can make it!, WISH..) this is absolutely my fave. I especially like Jun's voice in this song.
Fave part: Namida wa kitto kanashimi no owaride wa naku yume no ashiato
Kokoro atsuki ima koko kara sono Story
Hajimaru Sing the dream!

5. Firefly || *****
This is the best track in the album! Aiba's and Sho's voices in the song totally rock. This reminds me of RIGHT BACK TO YOU btw. It'd be superb to get a music video for this song.

6. Taiyou No Sekai || ***
This is not my fave song, but it's ok. I mainly like Sho's rap parts smile

7. Carry on || ****
Beautiful lyrics Heart

Sho's and Nino's voices are especially good in this song. Chorus is my fave part in the song.

8. ROCK YOU || **
Another song that makes me cry.. The melody is so messy, changing all the time. But the chorus part is the worst..

9. Cry for you || ****
This reminds me of 80s XDD
Aiba has a sexy voice in this one. But I think this suits to Jun the best.
Overall nice song. Chorus rocks big grin

10. Love Situation || **
Another diibadaaba song.. mellow

Ok for background music.

11. Kaze || ****
The beginning sounds like the song were from some anime big grin

I really like the melody, not too slow. The rap parts fits to the song perfectly.

12. Be with you || ****
A very beautiful song Heart

I'd love to hear this sung by Aiba only. His voice is so sweet in it.

13. LIFE || ***
Ok song. To me it seems like something is missing. But maybe it's that I love chorus but rest of the songs aren't as good.

14. Aozora Pedal || ***
I don't like ballads like this. But the reason why I think the song is ok, is Sho's voice. He had improved his singing skills quite a lot.

15. Song for me || ****
Rida's solos are always, erm, weird XD
I like this song though.

16. Friendship || ****
This song is so Aiba big grin

Once again, the beginning sounds like from some anime. The song proves my babe can sing well smile

17. Niji || *****
IUg/%874iojh!
I love this song Heart

It like.. LOVE! So beautiful. Songs like this fit perfectly to Nino~

18. Can't Let You Go || *
This song breaks my heart. Period.

19. Yabai-Yabai-Yabai || *****
My fave solo from the album. And it seems like everyone likes the song. I'm glad Jun got to sing this song. His voice is great smile

I love Time, it is one of my favorite albums, up there with One, my absolute favorite.

My favorite songs on the album are:
Oh Yeah!
Firefly
Carry On
Cry for You (My fav because of Nino's intro)

And all the solos minus Jun-Kun's.

Well, with Arashi it´s always the same. The first time I listen to their songs, I love them or I feel totally indifferent towards them. The first time I listened to this album it was the same, I loved Aozora pedaru, love so sweet, and we can make it, only. But now, I really, really love carry on and life. Bit by bit I´m beggining to love this album more and more. Heart

weee~~ i bought the LE! but i still didnt open it!!! ahh should i or should i not!!???? confused

I think Time is definitely better than Arashic, which was too retro/Saturday Night Fever. And I was really suprised Nino got to sing a lot of (high) solos usually assigned to Ohno... maybe because he sang so well in that part of We Can Make It. I also noticed that more songs were piano-based, which is quite nice.

The biggest surprise for me is 'Rock You' because I am fairly confused why such a happy song such be titled as such. Also, I think it is so unpop and very unlike their usual style--still, it listening to it makes me feel really happy and hopeful.

And how obviously similar is 'Taiyou no Sekai' to 'Lucky Man!' It even ends with the same beats! Not to mention the beginning rap segment. But good thing the chorus is different.

I think Riida's "Song for Me" is really similar to his Top Secret. You just know he's gonna do a crazy dance sequence for it. The style is also similar, so I tried to make it sync to his Top Secret dance video... which I put on Youtube. After that someone showed me his real dance routine for the song, which unfortunately wasn't as awesome as his Top Secret. You can check out my vid here

I'm also starting to appreciate Sho's voice when he's not rapping. Amazingly he has a very steady tone. If it weren't so raspy, he could probably get more parts in a song.

And lastly, Matsujun's voice has always annoyed me, but after listening to his Yabaix3, I now think he's has the male couterpart voice of the likes of Yuki or Otsuka Ai, kinda like a cute, squeeky, but male voice. He's easier to tolerate using that kind of comparison.
