DAY 25: YOUR FAVOURITE ALBUM SONG

absolute one

i might drunk, but the song i pick never wrong

Current Mood: sleepy

Yaa~ it should've done Day 24, but I don't understand about single B-side thing. And I was planning to do Day 22, but Idk what happen on the day that I skipped writing LOL as for yesterday, I had a Kanju's Noroshi streaming in Lil's discord server. And it exceeded the plan because we ended up had a screening on other videos. I think it was 5 hours fangirling only time. So fun! 😭 very fun! It's been a while since the last time I had a blast with other people 🤭

DAY 22: YOUR FAVOURITE CONCERT/MUSIC SHOW PERF

I like Naniwa Danshi's collaboration with Yuzu in FNS. Apparently, it's not only the singing performance, but also Sachiare's lyrics was written by Kitagawa Yujin. Yes, the one hugged by Kazu so closely (2:27). That's also my highlight! Aren't they literally looked like a father and son??
Tbh they're a happy family to me. They looked had fun, aren't they? They made a perfect harmony. The orchestra was also amazing!

Someone said that Kazu had always admired Yuzu. And that he reached this point of closeness, how could I not proud??
Yujin-san also said that Kazu was not close at all at first. But as he said that Kazu could come closer, he LITERALLY did that in every rehearsal and the perf was the closest. You can see Yujin-san surprised LOL

Current Mood: amused

I mentioned that I bumped to a cover of NEWS' Sakura Girl before. AND JUST YESTERDAY GAKU UPLOADED HIS SOLO SINGING THE SONG 😭 HE WAS AN ANGEL. I love his voice so much. I hope I can hear a clear voice of AmBitious covered this song.
To be honest, any song could get stuck too easily in my head, at least for a period of time. No exception to Gaku's Sakura Girl, it's still lingering in my head. But well, I think the one I write now stuck in my head too much.

DAY 18: A SONG THAT GETS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD TOO EASILY

The song is too much, it stuck too early once I heard it and stuck too long in my head to even moved my mouth singing it. Yeah, sometimes it got my body dance too. It is Naniwa Danshi's Getsu Ka Sui Moku Kimi Youbi.

Absolute reason this one got too much was the reff.

Getsu, ka, sui, moku, kin, do, nichi mo
Kimi ga suki dayo

I don't know why, I liked it. And that made me listening to it more, the more I memorized it. I'm not exactly memorize the lyrics tho, even it's been a year LOL just a random singing along what my brain perceived its heard.

And it was a long time until I knew that they were singing days. So cute. Now I can't read days in Japanese without giving it this song's melody.

It's still played in my head sometimes, on a very random timing.

Current Mood: bouncy

I didn't do Day 14 LOL I just, didn't feel like to, even I had one in mind. I think the song that deserves a music video is Naniwa Danshi's Yobaiboshi because it has such a magical atmosphere. I dunno what's it about tho. I once read the translation and didn't even get it too orz

Anyway, I don't have exactly 5 songs, but I like them all, so let's go~

Eh? Omg it's mid-month already...

DAY 15: TOP 5 SONGS ON YOUR SUMMER ROAD TRIP PLAYLIST

It's not gonna be 5. I don't have many song I'm listening to, so the ones literally I like and suit summer road trip are these.

1. Naniwa Danshi's Sincere has always been in my favourite list. It's still the first in my YouTube listening playlist. I mentioned it as one of the song that gives me energy to move before.

Maybe I biased by Kanokari's background on summer, idk why I think this is such a summer song to me. I just feel it is.

Watch on YouTube

2. Naniwa Danshi's Soda Pop Love is one of the most listened song since my early Nanifam era. I liked this song immediately in the first listen. Such a fresh, sweet, bubbly, colorful, and fun song, the summer I've been dreamed of.

Fizzy fizzy lovin' you~

Fizzy fizzy follow me~

行ってきます～～

Watch on YouTube

3. Canjani8's Hachigatsu No Memory is the first song I liked from them. It gives me a feeling of girl band from back decades ago, but it sounds fresh and pure.

Watch on YouTube

You know, actually, most of the "summer" part is influenced by their visualization. Idk what's summer, fall, winter, and spring. I live in tropical country. I've never tasted snow. And I never really grasped from doramas or movies. Well..

Current Mood: high

Waa~ what a big skips 😗
Day 9 was a song I didn't like anymore, but even my list is not that much, let alone the ones I like. Rather, I bumped into a cover of NEWS' song I always listened to when I was a kid. A bit cheating, the cover was fan recorded in a show. It's Sakura Girl! I like it. And I like the way I still remember the lyrics even I thought it was Arashi's song at the first listen 😭 sorry!!

Day 10 was a song I didn't understand. But I can't even Japanese in the first place! If it's recently just by watching the MV, then I'll say Kanjani8's Ookami to Suisei. So many things happened. Smoking, phone, suitcase, handsome papas in suit, bomb?detector?, car, old fashion, antiques, silly dance, fight, stage, disco?party? mass, 😵 but not gonna lie, I quite like it LOL

Day 11 was a song I wanted my favs to cover. I think about it a lil bit too much 😂 I don't have any particular. But when I hear Gaku singing Seppaku no Tsuki, I really want him to perform it on stage. When I hear Masaya singing Street Blues, I really want him to perform it on stage. They make me want to hear all Kansai Johnny's green menkaras singing together again, like in Dream Island '20→'25 💚 imagine Ohkura, Kami-chan, Kazuya, Ruku, Masaya, and Gaku 😍 waiting for Boys Be to have their own menkaras 🥰 if I could be specific, I want the song is a bit slow?mellow?

Wow it's a bit too much stickers now?

DAY 12: A SONG BY YOUR FAVS YOU WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO COVER

Generally, I want to see anyone cover any Naniwa-chan's song. But I had special dream to see Naniwa Danshi's 2 Faced cover. And just some days ago, I read fanrepo said that Samapara team this year (Toa, Ruku, Sumi, Atchu, Yukiya, Mayumi, and Leo) covered it. I'm looking forward when I could see it~

So, this time, I want LAI-LA-LA! This one is also a cool type song. Naniwa-chan said that the dance was the hardest between their songs. And I was like, "Wow it's overpowered NANDE?! !?"

Watch on YouTube

But some juniors had already covered the dance. One of them was Okareo, they were so cool! Oka and Leo were also in Grandeur team during Dream Live 2022, which is believed as one of the hardest dance in Johnny's too. And they were nailed it along with the other members. It'd be nice if I could see AmBitious covered this song, I think~ they are very good at dance after all!

Current Mood: accomplished

This time quite hard because I kinda have various of it.

DAY 7: A SONG THAT GETS YOU MOVING

If the moving meant gives me energy to do the day, it's Naniwa Danshi's Sachiare and Sincere. The first song just literally handled by suns. No one can tell me otherwise.
For the second one, I like center Ryuche in such a "out of character" song. I'm too used to him go with azatoi behavior. Idk if it's true the meaning in the song, but I found it as young, kind, and manly song. Maybe I influenced by Kanokari too, even tbh I don't really Kazuya character in that dorama.

But if the moving meant makes me want to dance, Naniwa Danshi's Ubu Love and Chuki Chuki Hurricane are the best. I kinda memorize Ubu Love tiktok challenge's dance LOL never made one tho, just they performed it a lot too.

And Chuki Chuki Hurricane is too obvious, the choreographer taught Nanifam directly with such a cute instruction, he did it so naturally. It's easy to dance and memorize too, so many similar moves.

Among the songs that gets me moving, my favourite is this cheerful and fun song of Ae! group. Oretachi A!!!!!! ttodoroku yume o miyou!

Watch on YouTube

I'm dancing to "A!!!!!!", moving as if I have penlight in my hand LOL the after effect from watching this is just too intense. The song ringing in my head. And my hands can't hold itself even just from listening to the song, I don't even see them. I love it!! I hope they release more of their songs and performances.

Maybe I can't dance properly to this like I did to Ubu Love and Chuki Chuki Hurricane, but I get more energy to move from this song.

Current Mood: cheerful

Geezzz I saw a tweet joined the challenge and answered Ae! group's Boku Blues for Day 4!! I wanted to pick the song too before, but I thought "Blues" in the title couldn't count as color!!! 😗huft
The song could do for my Day 5 too I guess. Just remember how I tried to memorize all the lyrics because I like it and it's easy, but I'm not sure if I did it.

Oh no, it's very late for Day 6 LOL

DAY 6: FAVOURITE SENPAI/KOUHAI COVER

Rather than favourite (because I don't really remember), this is the first song come to my mind. Naniwa Danshi, Ae! group, and Lil Kansai were all there. They were so cool!! They made me back to the original singer. The covered song was Arashi's Monster~

The remarkable moment from this perf was Kazuya's solo lines. The short one (2:15) that was kinda sexy and gave me chills. And the long one (3:24) that was powerful.

The long one was the reason I dug to this cover. I saw his singing clip compared to Ohno's💙 the lyrics were the same even the lines were in different part of the song. I was like, "OMG MY FAV MEMBERS HAPPENED TO BE THE VOCAL LEAD OF EACH GROUP AND I LIKE THEIR VOICE IN THEIR OWN WAY." And when I found Kazu covered Ohno's solo song Top Secret, "OMG POSSIBLY THE DANCE LEAD TOO!?!"
Those facts still don't convince me the typical of my oshis. The reason I liked Ohno is still a big mystery anyway. It couldn't be the "lead" title because the kid me didn't even know that kind of thing existed.

Well, I can think of it later. Anyway, I still back to the perf until now. And as Ae-tan too, I like center Massan! I think it was the first time I saw Lil Kansai performed a "dark" song too.
They all look so good!

Waa~ somehow I regain my memory about how I got to know Kazu and Kanju a year ago 🥰

Current Mood: refreshed

I didn't realize my first day was impulsive. I thought I'd only pass some days. But when I saw the full list, it seemed I couldn't make it for a third of it. Anyway, it still looks fun, so I'll just keep going when I can.

DAY 2: YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC VIDEO

It's my home, my first Naniwa-chan's MV. It's the castle that's blue and royal but warm and down to earth. There I could have fun and rest assured. It's Naniwa Danshi's Diamond Smile.

Watch on YouTube

Even I discovered Naniwa-chan in Ubu Love era, I skipped it because I don't really like pink. Not that I dislike or hate it though. But when they released Diamond Smile's MV, I was mesmerized by how they look like princes. They greeted me in the thumbnail, invited me to the castle. And how would I reject such a friendly welcome??

When I gave it a watch, I didn't expect it would be giving me Toy Story and Barbie. So adorable! There's still pinks in the background, but it's pastel, so much less vibrant and made a soft candy harmony with the blues. I came to like pink more!

I have to give extra appreciation to the stylist because I love the costumes. It's the most reason that I said this is so princey. And I like to imagine Micchi's costume would fit in me nicely. I want to wear something like that even once in my lifetime, and of course a bit make up and hair styling to make it perfect. I want to be a prince too...
It's also cute the way they displayed the pre-debuted costume (1:20).

Even in a royal castle, the part they were eating together was just so casual (1:40). They didn't hold their mouth from looking so full with foods. They were also let all their laughs out. They were simply having fun.

If I were being emotional, because I found it when I had the lowest state of my self-esteem, it felt so gentle to me. Yes it was when I didn't even know the meaning of the lyrics. It was the eyes. A lot of close ups, and none of them staring at me. Our eyes just met innocently and the smiles going together with it was contagious LOL

When Naniwa-chan performed it again in NHK Songs after a long time, I feel like crying. It was like after so much adventure, we finally came home and could rest for real. Nah, it was me 🤭
