Oh, it's just another fangirl.
I'm Charmaine and I live in sunny Singapore (means that I'm located near the equator, where it's summer, summer, and when I wake up the next day, it's still summer). I don't usually expect presents on 7 April, but if you're feeling unusually happy you can give me one on that day. (:
I'm currently crazy over... CardCaptor Sakura (2003-2005)
Fay D. Flourite (Jun 2006)
Oguri Shun (Jul-Dec 2007)
Fay D. Flourite (Feb-Apr 2008)
Twilight Series + Edward Cullen (May-Aug 2008)
Arashi + Sakurai Sho (Sep 2008 -Present)

Beautiful Days
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 7:59 PM
Arashi's new single, Beautiful Days, is absolutely beautiful!
It's like a beautiful collage of Planetarium (by Ai Otsuka) and CardCaptor Sakura songs! (just my opinion)
It has an entirely new feel to it, yet anybody who has heard Arashi songs before will be able to recognize Arashi's touch to it. You can feel the energy in their voices. In this new single, their voices are strong yet gentle at the same time. The sweet melody and lyrics give a refreshing new touch to the whole Arashi collection. :D
Arashi is so versatile! They've done pop, rock, r&b, jazz, rap, basically everything... But above all, they're truly good people. They might not be the tallest Japanese boys (they definitely aren't that tall), but they have big hearts of gold and they'll always shine, whatever they do, wherever they go.
Let's hear the song, shall we? :D
PS. View in high quality here for sharper lyrics! By the way, this is the "incomplete version" of the song (because you can hear Nino and Ryo talking towards the end). So far, only the incomplete versions of the song are around on the internet because it's a really new single and the full versions haven't been uploaded yet. I'm so going to buy it if I'm not broke by then (:
PS2. This is not the official PV for Beautiful Days. It's a fan-made video by an Arashi fan (bless her for the adding the lyrics, translation, and putting the video together). I can just see the stars in the sky in the PV... bet it's going to be beautiful, just like the song title suggests. (: Arashi's PVs have always been artistically-inclined (eg. Pikanchi Double, Step and GO, We Can Make It!, Sakura Sake... :D Maybe I'll post those PVs here someday. Or you could do a YouTube search; they're everywhere)
YATTA!
ARASHI IS THE BEST ANTI-DEPRESSANT IN THE WORLD!
Fangirls like me go high when we hear their voices :D
