Arashi: My Girl

So, guess what I’ve been listening to on repeat all night?

At first, I’ll admit, I wasn’t too sure about it. The verse sounded a little too expected (makes me think of Ashita no Kioku, to be honest), but then the chorus… ohh, I love the chorus. And the lyrics are so sad. And it’s been on repeat ever since.

Well, they’re so sad now that I’ve listened to it a few times. On the first listen, I only caught the meaning of the chorus, with just smatterings of the rest (why are Arashi choruses so much easier to understand than the verses? Perhaps it’s just a fluke of my listening skills…). But even on the first listen, I felt so sad from it all. It’s a pretty song.

At least, it’s providing good release for my overstressed, sickness-addled brain right now. When you have lots of work to do and a cold (gosh, I hope it’s just a bad cold and not something that’s gonna get worse) that makes it hard to do any of it, new Arashi singles are the best solution, ne? I can’t wait to hear the full thing (soon?)!
