I do have to say that Ono does have the voice. Surprised that he hasn't done a solo single yet.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-27314415182889438502016-03-07T13:56:16.821-05:002016-03-07T13:56:16.821-05:00Hi J-Canuck.
I'm glad you came across "F...Hi J-Canuck.<br /><br />I'm glad you came across "Fukkatsu LOVE" soon enough. I thought about writing an article for the song when it was released, but the videos were just going away too fast (as it's common when it comes to Arashi or other Johnny's acts).<br /><br />About the song, I thought about you as soon as I heard it for the first time. It's a great throwback to 80s City Pop. Also, while everything works great (the arrangement is a standout, for sure), my favorite part is the pre-chorus (there's a bit of sadness in some of the notes that takes the song to another level). And that Ono a capella solo right before Aiba ends the song with the "okaeri" line is just gorgeous.<br /><br />As for Arashi, they're on a roll lately. Their album "Japonism" offered some pretty good songs ("miyabi-night" and Ono's solo "Akatsuki"), and few months after they come back with this solid single. I hope they keep the good moment and don't fall on the trap of recording silly/goofy songs. Well, it's not their choices...<br /><br />You mentioned Aiba-chan, and your student must be thrilled, because he gets more lines than usual in "Fukkatsu LOVE". He even delivers them quite well, if we consider he's probably the weakest singer of the group.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.com
