Hey!Say!JUMP – JUMPING C4R -RE- (4th Album) [First time listen- Review]

20150628_01050020150628_010513 20150628_010528

I know, I know. I haven’t posted here for a year. How unforgivable. LOL ..but I didn’t have time or was busy with lots of things. During that time, I recieved S3art, S3art DVD, Sexyzone’s SexyPower3 and a Sexyzone concert. Sumimasen! I haven’t posted anything about them because of my busy schedule at university and all the things. Now though! It’s summer! yaay~ Natsuyasumi desuu! I can post properly about this new album I recieved!

I finally recieved my copy on the 27th! Ah you might think “That’s a bit late.” Well for some reason some packages are very slow to arrive here . LOL

Note: Before I start I want to tell everyone that, I will just be writing the “first-listen” review for the new songs so old songs like [Weekender,#Chau,Asunoyell, and Kirakirahikare] which have been released earlier on won’t have reviews,and the area below them will be left blank]

  • Introduction:

Hmm..this album made me have mixed feelings. Don’t get me wrong.It’s just not what I expected. I had huge expectations that it would be at least at the same level as S3art which is like my favorite album of theirs of all time. Till now , everytime I listen to it , it is like a first. However, JUMPing C4R was totally happy go lucky. It had no variation in songs whatsoever, instead it more like had a repetitive summer-feeling set of songs.Without comparing though,I think some of its parts were enjoyable. So here we go, with the first-time-listen review!

20150628_010558

Tracklist

1.    Fantasist(Instrumental):

From a first listen, I can assume that the composer wanted us to feel as if we’re starting a journey alongside Hey!Say!JUMP inside a car. The music starts off with different mixed noises around that helps us visualize the surroundings without having to actually “be” there. Those noises stop as an engine sound intrudes. A sound which apparently is the mark that embarks the listener into an adventure. Due to the creepy music and gradual beats, you feel as if you are thrown into a world of mystery that finally gets summed up with a nice tune as you reach the destination -“The album’s start”.

2.    JUMPing CAR

This song totally gave me the “Video game” feel. It was as if someone placed me inside one of those car racing cute video games like “Mario-kart” or such. The beat was very playful and summery. It is totally a fresh start to this new album. It even had some Mario sound effects, or as to what I think I heard. I guess it is a song I’d definitely like to hear especially in summer.

3.    Walk

Walk? It is all like a harmonious hyper one to be honest! Hahaha. It again starts playful. The music shifts from it is being slow to a faster pace where all the members sing. It gives you the feeling of running/walking at your own pace with a group in summer, each of you carrying her/his bag along with water and needed things. Totally a summer feel again!

4.    SHen SHera SHen

It started of slow, I thought it would end up to be a medley, but I was wrong. Again! A summery song appears. Hey? Are all the songs going to end up like this now? I don’t know. Well this time it feels as if you’re going down a slide. It reminded me of a NeWs song since they tend to have lots of songs in which they repeat the same catch phrase like “Chankapana” or “Chumu chumu”. The beat before they say Shen shera Shen seemed like a video game yet again . To be honest, it contained a mixture of beats that can’t be properly explained. COCKTAILJUICE anyone? A good one though!

5.    Weekender

6.    Kira Kira Hikare

7.    Ai yo, Boku wo Michibiite Yuke

The beginning reminded me of “We’re the champions! We’re the champions! Of the worl-” .It is really kind of similar at the beginning but then drifts into a totally different direction. Also the guitar, gave it a salsa feeling. This song is different as it contains slow and a soft,light beat. It is sort of change to the previous ones. There are parts where it becomes faster but it still remains “mild”. It is a mix of slow and fast, with a good balance , I guess.

8.    Fever

It started off with a jazzy feeling and some English words.Then all that totally changes into a hyper song that is mixed with a jazzy feeling. Like some 90’s happy songs to be honest? I don’t know. But it wasn’t one of my favorite songs in this album or maybe the other songs kept ringing in my mind for it to actually “ring” something different.

9.    Boys Don’t Stop

This is sort of a cool song. It felt like those hip hop songs that you’d see someone head spinning in. I liked the techno transitions in the middle when they kept saying “Boys don’t stop”. Also when they played with words. It was really cool. A change to the full-on summer feeling before. Even if it isn’t one of the coolest I’ve heard from them before, it still has its own cool feel into it.

10.    Dangerous

The music in this song resounded “Mysterious” in my ears.It is as if you were placed in a dark place at the begging, not knowing where you are. Then it slowly builds up at the point where they say “Your love is dangerous”. After that it goes slow again, like you’re thrown back into that cave inside smoke before returning to its build up. It keeps going on in that pace, with techno/electro parts added to insure the dangerous/mysterious feel.

11.    Chau#

12.    Yowamushi★Shooter

Again a totally 90’s feel song. Especially the beginning. It slowly changes into a groovy slow beat. Throughout, the song kept mixing the feeling of “groovy” and “slow” . Some parts of it honestly reminded me of “Footloose”. I guess that is all I can say about this song.

13.    Ashita e no YELL

14.    Farewell

The name is totally misleading. It says “Farewell” You’d probably think it is some sad medley song. But no! It is totally different and fast/hyper again. It is like a rock band was so happy about summer and such they decided to make a song. Hahaha. Well it is hyper yet has this drum/ rock-ish feel. It is like walk,(the second song) in its as If you’re running feel except this time with a sort of “tension” feel. Like you SHOULD RUN and not just walk.

15.    Very Very Happy

Um. It starts off real slow. What? Shouldn’t the titles of this song and the song before been switched or something? I mean, this song’s name is Very Very Happy. However, it is clearly a sort of medley-ish song. It was a real surprise to be honest. Oh well , I guess they meant to send out the relaxing , very very happy feel rather than the hyper one. It was nice, but not the type of medley that’d get stuck in the mind for long especially for a fan of medleys like myself.

  • Bonus tracks

Viva! 9’s Soul

It sounded like a total cheerleading song to be honest. I imagined heysayjump running around each of them introducing themselves. The beats kept changing. I guess this is a song not meant for just listening but more for a concert where they enter , holding huge flags that have HEYSAYJUMP printed right on them.

Puppy Boo

Again saxophone usage? A jazzy/groovy feel again I suppose. It is the sort of song which reminds you of the oldies. I can imagine Hey!Say!JUMP dancing to it while wearing black hats, and tuxedos. Totally a song that carries an old, classical feel to it that pulls you back in time.

  • Conclusion:

I didn’t enjoy the randomness of this album. It was too random it got too repetitive until my ears begged for change. However, there are still some songs that came to my liking ofcourse. To Tobikkos, please listen to it and tell me your own opinions in a comment below~ Chau#. Hehe.

Hey!Say!JUMP Calendar 2014-2015 (Review)

20140311_155957

Packaging of the Calendar

Yosh! So , I finally recieved my own copy of Hey!Say!JUMP’s 2014-2015 calendar , a few days ago! I loved it so much ,and got so excited over it that I decided to do a special review about it for the fellow Tobikkos out there~

  • Cover : Front Side

20140311_193304

A lovely cover page indeed. The way it was designed made it feel like a letter coming all the way from our JUMP. Really creative. I also loved that they wrote HSJ since 24/9/2007 , the precious date that marks their debut in a stamp like form.

  • Cover: Back Side

20140311_201840

Again that style of a fresh received mail from the mailbox is completed on the back side. Stamp like images are placed on the down-left section. It fits the theme perfectly.

  • Inside:

20140311_193325

As you open to the first page. This is what you see , full quality HD pictures of our precious members wearing formal clothing! Perfect to start a year! So since this calendar is from April 2014 till march 2015 , this side is for you to put while waiting for April to come. “We will guide you to a wonderful year!” is written in English on the black background too. Really wonderful way to start a wonderful calendar!

  • April:

20140311_19334220140311_19335120140311_193802

So the first days of April , marks “Spring” or in other words , the Sakura season in Japan. Their clothes in these pages reflect the cold yet cool feeling of Spring. It is not hot although the sun is finally shown after winter. It is a season of warmth which is depicted here by the warm sunlight gently casting their shadows onto the ground. It gives you that warm feeling when you look at each member.Then ,comes the bunch of pictures of that. “Brand New Season!” written bold and clear to indicate Spring , is the start of everything. The first page shows pictures of Daiki and Yamada ,sitting and bathing under the warm sun. The green and red they are wearing contrast, creating more of a spring feeling. The next picture of Hikaru and Yuto , still blends in the calm atmosphere due to the colors they are wearing and the green background which ends by chinen yuri’s section that mixes in the feeling of a sports as he is placed in a sort of a tennis playground setting. It overall gave a fresh feeling!

  • May:

20140311_19381620140311_19382620140311_193835

May introduces to us a set of cool pictures with a blend of an Adult feeling. Hey!Say!Best , the adults of Hey!Say!JUMP are shown in the first pages of May. The way they’re shot with formal clothes , either reading or just gazing while sitting on sofas gives you an Adult feeling overall.Then , it continues with a solo picture of Hikaru and a pair picture of yuto and Keito. Three of them , in full  formal wear! Truly adult-like! Finally it shows us a picture of Yabu and Takaki, and another of chinen and yamada , also reflecting that adult-image with different members.

  • June:

20140311_19384720140311_19434720140311_194358

Ok now, this gave me the feeling of the “kakkoi” month! They all look so cool here! A cool side of Hey!Say!JUMP is revealed to us in the first days of June by making them pose in a cool way and wear white and black while standing in frontof a white background to emphasize on that.As we continue further in June. We get to see a solo shot of Takaki acting all cool! How cool is that? I loved his natural cool poses and the arrangement of the pictures in such a cool way!A cool pair image then comes ! Inoo and Daiki pose in a cool attractive way while both wearing a blend of white and black! They look so cool and attractive is what I’ve thought! Then a solo picture of Yamada doing a sexy pose , along with two tiny pictures of him on the bottom right corner to complete the cool effect given.

  • July:

20140311_19442620140311_19440920140311_194418

So july usually marks what? The start of summer and holidays in Japan! This set of pictures is my favorite to be honest, because of their expressions and the way I can see splashes of water and all. It made me feel happy and fresh, just wanting to join them!The mix of the members and their shadows in solo shots made it seem so much like summer. It made me imagine the heat of the sun that always casts a shadow and also gave me a cool feeling of the beach. The last days of this month have a kakkoi picture of Inoo bathing in the sun followed by pictures of Yabu and Chinen cleaning the swimming pool. A typical thing to do in the summer! This whole set of pictures was fresh and cool!

  • August:

20140311_19443720140311_19444620140311_194505

In the first days of August Hikaru is seen on a boat enjoying his summer vacation from what it seems. The sky behind him is cloudless and blue , reflecting the summer season. The continuation of this month though, shows different members inside bathrooms in dorms apparently after taking a bath. After a whole hot season, they seem to be refreshing themselves with baths~ kind of an indication to the end of summer for me !

  • September:

20140311_194519 20140311_194536 20140311_195554

This month’s pictures gave me a “filming an old hollywood movie” feeling. The first pages reveal Daiki in an old fashioned black and white suit , with a bow. Also, on his side you can see a filming roll – like sequence of photos.Then the further more pictures, show us JUMP all in suits until it reaches the last set. The last set of this month ,shows us a solo picture of keito adjusting his tie which is followed by daiki, chinen and yamada with a camera-roll like picture sequeance under their picture.

  • October:

20140311_195616 20140311_195636 20140311_195649

This month gave off a more sporty , warm feeling. First set of pictures showed Yabu and Hikaru wearing long sleeved shirts and passing a soccer ball to each other by hand followed by a set of pictures with chinen,keito and inoo. Then, comes the solo shoot of Yamada Ryosuke with his green jacket that contrasts with the grass background. After that, the last set of pictures reveal a solo picture of Yuto covering his head with a hoodie cap followed by a mouth watering picture of Takaki and Daiki munching on hamburgers! This set made me feel active and hungry at the same time !

  • November:

20140311_195657 20140311_195713 20140311_195844

This set of pictures is more of like a continuation to the previous set from October. The theme is still the same as revealed from the first part of pictures , that shows all JUMP gathered as cheerleaders wearing sport clothes. Then , it continues with Inoo wearing a warm red color while posing for different positions next to a bowling area. It is then ended with random pictures of JUMP playing around in the grass field.

  • December:

20140311_195934 20140311_195945 20140311_200001

So, when December comes, we usually know it is the festive and cold season for Christmas! The beginning of this month’s pictures reveal the 4 members of Hey!Say!7 sitting beside a window while wearing warm knit clothes. Then a solo picture of Takaki  followed by Hey!Say!Best members , wearing different colors of knit clothes and sitting in a cozy warm looking background. This “warm” sensation is ended by solo pictures of yabu wearing a different set of knit clothes while posing. I think this set of pictures focused on the “warmth in the cold” to match the cold season of this month.

  • January:

20140311_200418 20140311_20043320140311_200459

This set of photos show a more country-side feel to the “cold” season. In the first set of photos , Hey!Say!JUMP ; Hey!Say!7 and Hey!Say!Best , are shown wearing warm clothes which are obviously more warm than the knit ones in the previous shoot since they are covered by coats and all. The other shoots continue showing different members in front of that same car doing different poses which gives you an old country-side trip feeling due to the car’s look/model. It gives off a nice warm feeling of family and friends during winter!

  • February:

20140311_200530 20140311_200552 20140311_200853

This set of photos showed a more “classy” side of JUMP. It showed Hey!Say!Best standing next to a billiard table while wearing warm clothes. The billiard table continues on to Keito’s solo shoot in which he looks so manly and classy in. Then, it finishes off with solo shoots with Daiki in classy red , and Yamada,yuto and chinen each wearing contrasting colors. It gave off a feeling of a “classy” yet “warm” month.

  • March:

20140311_200934 20140311_201021 20140311_201424

The last set of pictures ,reflecting March still have a sense of cold due to the clothes that JUMP are wearing in the first shoot. Yet, the lighting of the room slowly enhances warmth indicating a sort of change in seasons as I suppose. Solo pictures of Yuto Nakajima that come after that, reveal him doing different cool pauses while wearing knit clothes.  At the end, pair pictures of Yamada and Inoo , Chinen and Yuto are shown respectively wearing knit clothes as well. This setting makes me feel a change of season out of the gloomy cold to a sort of “light” warm season.

  • Collection of pictures , following months:

20140311_201441

A random set of pictures at the end of the Calendar are put , for the satisfaction of Tobikkos like me , I suppose! *happiness*

  • Closing picture:

20140311_201454

This closing picture , has the same sporty feeling as two months in the calendar. I think it reveals the dominating theme in this calendar~! Sports! Lol! Well this image truly suits Hey!Say!JUMP in my opinion so..It was a success! I loved this Calendar overall! It just joined Classy, Sporty , and Cool JUMP all together in one place! Perfect!

  • Closing message:

20140311_201510

I loved this ! A perfect end for a great calendar! The fact that the messages were written with each members’ handwriting makes me feel like squealing! It almost feels like I’ve gotten an autograph from all members between my hands! What do I want more? This is really something to treasure forever! ~

  1. Sexy Second ( Introduction)

I loved it ,although I didn’t actually expect it inside the album whatsoever. When I listened to it for the first time, it had this jazzy “cool” style that reminded me of those old Broadway shows.During the song’s progress at about the middle when the chorus can be heard,  I felt a really magical feeling . A “you can do It” sort of feeling. The end was smooth too. Therefore, although I hadn’t expected this bit at all , it really added a classic introduction feel to everything.

أحببتها على الرغم من انني لم اكن متوقعة انها ستكون من ضمن الألبوم. عندما إستمعت لها لأول مرة , كانت تملك نوعا من ستايل الجاز الذي ذكرني بأفلام برودوي القديمة ! و في منتصف الأغنية عند وصولي لمقطع الكورس أحسست بشعور خيالي , شعور كدافع يوحي لي بأنني  “أستطيع أن أفعلها” كما ان النهاية كانت سلسة و ذات رونق. على الرغم من انني لم أكن أتوقع وجود هذه الفقرة, لقد اضافت نوعا من اللمسة الكلاسيكية كمقدمة تؤهب لسماع الألبوم

yay

       2. We Gotta Go

Listened to this song before the album’s release. It is a really great song that gives you fresh feelings of you walking somewhere searching for that “dream” place. You are not rushing though, since the song flows slowly. But, at the part when that line starts“Let us get started” everything in the rhythm starts getting hyped up ,giving you the feeling of wanting to walk and reach your dreams more and more. I liked how this song maintained the the fast yet slow tempo. With a clapping-like background sound, it becomes even more cool! It also had rock-ish bits at the end.So overall I really liked it. It fulfilled me.

لقد سمعت هذه الأغنية قبل إصدار الألبوم. إنها أغنية رائعة تعطيك شعورا منعش و كأنك تمشي باحثا عن مكان أحلامك من دون استعجال و ببطء لأن إيقاع الأغنية بطيء لكن فجأة و في نقطة معينة يبدأ الإيقاع بالإسراع و كأنه يوحي لك بالإسراع أكثر فأكثر لبلوغ أحلامك. أعجبتني موازنة هذه الأغنية لسرعة الايقاع السريع و البطيء, كلاهما معا. و كما أن مزجها مع أصوات الخلفية التي تشبه التصفيق جعلها أكثر امتيازا و إيقاع الروك في النهاية كان رائعا مما جعلني أحب هذه الاغنية

This song is really hyper.It begins off with them saying hyper phrases. I really liked how it begins with random words like :the line “suki dayo baka” and the “kyun kyun” parts. I guess it is a song that makes you hyper when you are feeling down. I think the reason behind that is because, it has slow bits that go fast up then gradually descend down just like a wave. Moreover, the parts where they repeated words like “kimi kimi” , “kuru kuru”, added a catchy feel to it all in all. I especially liked the “You’re my bonita” part , which gave a rest from the fast tempo. Finishing off, I really liked it. I think it is a good song for uplifting your mood.

هذه الأغنية حماسية تبدأ بالزون و هم يغنون مقاطع مليئة بالحوية.أحببت مقاطع البداية التي احتوت على بعض الأقوال مثل قول فوما “سوكي دايو باكا” و ترديدهم لكلمتي “كيون كيون”.أظن ان هذه الأغنية تبعث في نفسك الفرحة حين تشعر بالإحباط و السبب من وراء ذلك هو سرعة إيقاع بعض المقاطع و بطأها في احيان اخرى مثل الموج. و ايضا كثرة ترديد كلمات مثل “كيمي كيمي” و “كورو كورو” جعلها تحتوي على نوع من الجاذبية كما انني احببت المقطع الذي يقولون فيه “يو أر ماي بونيتا” لأنه كان كفاصل راحة من المقاطع الأخرى السريعة.المجمل من هذا كله انني أحببت هذه الأغنية لأنها كانت مفعمة بالحوية مما يجعلها أغنية جيدة لرفع المعنويات

    4. 4 Seasons

Definitely one of the best out of the new songs in this album. I don’t know why but the way it was sung , and how it started with a sort of a clapping rhythm then went smoothly flowing made me feel a really mixed sensation. It felt as if I was really in between 4 seasons ,where it flows from being spring to summer , fall then slowly winter. I really liked how it had a sort of a smooth flowing, rap-like singing in the middle that was split in between fuma and kento. I wanted to hear marisou though. I just heard them in the chorus which is very sad. But in the end, this is a really good song for me due to its smooth flowing rhythm , and due to the mixed feelings it emitted.

من دون شك هذه الأغنية هي واحدة من أفضل الأغاني من ضمن أغانيهم الجديدة ! لا أعرف السبب و لكن طريقة الغناء فيها و كيفية البدء بإيقاع اشبه بالتصفيق الذي تدرج بسلاسة مما جعلني أشعر بمشاعر مدمجة.أحسست و كأنني بالفعل محاطة بأربعة فصول.عندما تتناغم الفصول من الربيع الى الصيف منتقلة الى الخريف الذي يختم بالشتاء. أحببت كيف تحتوي على مقاطع تشبه الراب المتمتع بالسلاسة و التمازج في منتصف الأغنية المقسم بين العضوين فوما و كينتو. و لكنني أردت سماع ماريوس و سو أكثر. لم أستطع سماعهم إلا في الكورس. و لكن في النهاية هي أغنية جميلة و ذلك لإيقاعها و المشاعر التي تتضمنها

     5.Bad Boys

Honestly speaking the first time I heard this song, it made me feel really dizzy! Haha, but after a few listens and after watching Bad boys J, I changed my mind. It gives off a rock-ish fight like feeling. Whenever I listen to it now, I imagine this “fight” and “power” mixed atmosphere. It is not one of the best songs for me though, yet don’t misunderstand. I like it. It is cool. I especially like the part where it goes slow at about the 3rd minute. Then how it progresses into becoming faster and faster. All in all , it is a good song , that you get to like after a few listens or at least, that was my case.

بصراحة,عندما استمعت لهذه الأغنية لأول مرة أحسست بالغثيان! ههه و لكن بعد بضع إنصاتات و بعد مشاهدتي لباد بويز ج,غيرت رأيي. انها أغنية ممزوجة بمشاعر الروك و القتال فكل ما أستمع لها الأن أتخيل جو قتال وقوة.إنها ليست من أفضل الأغاني بالنسبة لي لكن لا تسيئوا الفهم لأنها أعجبتني. أعجبني المقطع في الدقيقة الثالثة تحديدا كيف يتدرج من البطىء الى السرعة . في رأيي إنها أغنية جيدة !واحدة من الأغاني التي تعجب الشخص بعد عدة إنصاتات أو على الأقل في حالتي أنا

This song is also one of my favorites among the new songs. I really liked the electro- feeling in this song. The beginning gave me that awesome feeling, as if I am standing inside smoke waiting for the right moment to step out. Also, how they mixed everything in this song was very cool. They had unique repetition of syllables, and a really successful rap part as well which is followed by a wonderful series of dub step rhythms. The mix of this song is really amazing. I really love it, every part of it.

هذه الأغنية أيضا, احدى مفضلاتي من الأغاني الجديدة. أحببت شعور الإلكترو في هذه الأغنية. البداية جعلتني أشعر بشعور رائع و كأنني داخل ضباب دخاني أتأهب للخروج . و أيضا كيفية مزج كل شيء في الأغنية زادها روعة.كما و انها إحتوت على ترديد لبعض الأحرف و مقطع راب جميل ,وعلى مقاطع دب ستيب مدهشة. مزيج الأغنية رهيب مما جعلني أحب كل مقطع فيها و بشدة

     7.Congratulations

This song , another song where Marisou are not there *sigh*. I really wish the manager can stop this kind of thing. It really bothers me! She can be seriously unfair. I’m sorry , but seriously. This song though , was really good. From the first time I had listened to it in Shounen Club , it really gave me that dream like feeling as if I’m flying in the skies. Skies that are filled with sakura petals everywhere congratulating me for my achievements kind of feeling. A really warm one ,I suppose. All in all, this song fills your heart with warm / success feelings due to the mix of the slow rhythm and the jazzy classy one in some parts. It is a great uplifting song.

هذه الأغنية أغنية أخرى من غير ماريوس و سو! كم أتمنى أن تتوقف مديرتهم عن فعل هذه الأشياء , إنها أشياء لطالما تسببت بإزعاجي!فهي و بحق ليست عادلة! أنا اسفة و لكنني أتكلم بجدية ! لكن على رغم كل ذلك هذه الأغنية كانت مدهشة من أول ما استمعت لها في الشونين كلوب أعتطني شعورا كالذي في الأحلام و كأنني أطير في سماء مملوئة بورد الساكورا , ورد يبارك لي على إنجازاتي. شعور حقا دافىء. إنها أغنية تملأ القلب بمشاعر الإنتصار الدافئة بسبب إيقاعها الممزوج بالجاز في بعض المقاطع. أغنية رائعة وحماسية

     8. バィバィDuバィ~See you again~

Ok, since I am a resident of United Arab Emirates and specifically Dubai “born in it to be specific”, I had the chance to grow up in this city, and watch it change throughout the years, until it reached to where it is now. This song really relates to me. At first, I was like huh?! Why Dubai from all?! I was happy, very happy so don’t misunderstand, but overall shock had taken over me. It was too overwhelming that one of my most favorite groups have a single and not to mention it is about Dubai too! It really touched me how they used Arabic words in it as well like “Shukran” and “Ana Ohibouki”. It was really cute hearing them say it in their own accent. I really like the Arabic rhythm that they added in the background of the song. It added a mystery / magical feeling that reminded me of Aladdin for some reason .Overall, it was a really interesting song that had a mix of Japanese style of music and a touch of Arabic rhythm.

حسنا , كوني من سكان الامارات و بالتحديد دبي و لأنني ولدت فيها و رأيتها و هي تكبر و تزدهر مع بلوغي حتى وصلت الى ما هي عليه عبر السنين. مما يجعل الأغنية ذات صلة بي. في البداية تفاجأت و سألت نفسي “هاه؟ لما دبي من الكل ؟” كنت فرحة بل و جدا فرحة فلا تسيئوا فهمي لأنني كنت متفاجئة أكثر من كل شيء. كان الخبر فوق توقعاتي , إن إحدى فرقي المفضلة لديهم أغنية و فوق كل ذلك هي عن دبي! لقد أثر بي استخدامهم كلمات عربية في مضمون الأغنية مثل “شكرا” و “انا احبك” لهجتهم عندما قالوها كانت كاواي كما أعجبني الإيقاع العربي في الخلفية الذي أضاف نوعا من الشعور الخيالي و الذي ذكرني بعلاء دين . في النهاية .كانت أغنية شيقة فيها دمج بين ستايل الأغاني اليابانية مع لمسة من الإيقاع العربي

This song was good, and not very good at the same time. I don’t know but something was off in it for me. It gave me the feeling that it wasn’t anything new. I couldn’t help but think I’ve heard it before. I liked some parts in it though , although it wasn’t the very best. I liked the repetitive rhythm that went overflowing through the song but , it was also the main reason why I got bored of the song because it kept repeating for like a really long amount of time until It got really boring!! Sorry , but this wasn’t one of the best for me.

هذه الأغنية كانت جيدة و ليست جيدة في نفس الوقت لا أدري و لكن كان هناك شيء لا يصل لي في هذه الأغنية أعطتني شعورا بأنها ليست شيء جديد و لكنني أعجبت ببعض المقاطع فيها حتى و إن لم تكن الأفضل. أعجبني الإيقاع المعاد و لكن الإطالة في إعادته جعلتني أشعر بالملل نوعا ما , الى أن أصبح لا يطاق. اسفة و لكن هذه الأغنية لم تكن من أفضل الأغاني بالنسبة لي

Ok, I’m really weak against ballads. I really love them however they were! This one was really good too. It had this very great rhythm that got to you after the first listen.  It also didn’t stay all slow which added a great aspect to the song! It went a bit high after a few slow low parts. Something which gave it a touch of loveliness and stopped me from getting bored at some point. This was one great ballad that would get you wanting to listen to it more and more. I really like it and would recommend it to ballad lovers like myself!

حسنا. انني حقا ضعيفة تجاه أغاني البالاد! أحبها جدا كيفما كانت! و هذه البالاد كانت جيدة جدا! إيقاعها كان رائع !واحدة من الإيقاعات التي تجذبك من أول مرة. كما وأنها لم تبق بطيئة و ذلك شيء رائع, أصبحت عالية بعد مرور مقاطع منخفضة الصوت و بطيئة مما جعل الملل بعيد عني بإعطائها رونقا. إنها بالاد رائع من التي تجعلك تود السماع أكثر وأكثر.أحببتها و أشجع محبي البالاد على سماعها

     11. Be Free

Wow. This song ,definitely gave me the Sexy Zone feels. If you know what I mean. It gave off this really “kakkoi” feeling. I loved how it included this Broadway-like rhythm in the middle as well. Haha, it is such a great song. “I wanna be free” the longer they repeat this line , the more It makes me want to listen. I guess you can see this is more of the “mature” style of songs that you would want to hear when you are chilling in your room , while drinking a cup of your favorite hot drink. That type of “adult” feeling I guess. It had a great chorus too that added a more rhythmic feeling to everything. I really loved this song!

واو! هذه الأغنية حتما أعطتني شعور “سيكسي زون” الذي أعتدت عليه ان فهمتم ما أعنيه, أعطت شعور “كاكوي” بالفعل. كما أعجبني كيف احتوت على الإيقاع الذي يشبه إيقاع برودوي في منتصف الأغنية.هه أغنية رائعة بالفعل! كلما أعادوا جملة “أي وانا بي فري” إنتابني شعور بأن أستمع أكثر. أظن إنها من الأغاني التي تعطي شعور “البلوغ” التي تود سماعها أثناء جلوسك في غرفتك آخذا رشفات من مشروبك الساخن المفضل. هذا النوع من البلوغ.كما و أن الكورس كان رائعا فقد أضاف نوعا من الإيقاع أيضا! أعجبتني هذه الأغنية كثيرا

     11.Real Sexy!

Ok I’ve listened to this song a million times now, I mean it was the single before Bai Bai Dubai ;Therefore, I won’t do a long review about it. It was normal for me, a more super hero like song to be honest. That is the feeling it gave me the first time I listened to it. Then , it started gradually coming to my liking after listening to it more than once. I guess I like the building up of it. The way of how it starts and slowly builds up.

لقد إستمعت لهذه الأغنية مرارا و تكرارا لأنها كانت السينجل قبل باي باي دبي لذلك لن أطول في تقييم هذه الأغنية. كانت عادية عندما سمعتها لأول مرة كأنها إحدى أغاني أبطال السوبر هيرو و لكن عندما إستمعت لها أكثر بدأت تعجبني شيئا فشيئا. أظن إنني أحببت تدرجها و كيف يتسلسل إيقاعها حتى يصبع أسرع فأسرع

    12.ドキドキBreak Out!!

From its name , I thought that this might be another ballad but I was totally wrong! It is a really rock-ish and fast tempo type of song. It wasn’t my favorite though, since fast tempos tend to make me a bit dizzy. This my opinion though. I liked some parts of it ,like how it build up at the doki doki part. This part was so good and well made in my opinion. I also like the rock parts that were in the middle (without singing) . I guess that might be a song that I’ll accept after a couple of listens.

من إسمها ظننتها أغنية بالاد أخرى لكنني كنت مخطأة! إنها أغنية روك نوعا ما ممزوجة بنوع من الإيقاع السريع! لم تكن من المفضلات لدي لأنني لا أحب الإيقاعات السريعة فهي تجعلني أشعر بالدوار! لكن هذا رأيي فحسب. أعجبني التدرج في مقطع “دوكي دوكي” أحسست أن هذا المقطع متقن برأيي كما أعجبتني مقاطع الروك (من دون الغناء) التي كانت في منتصف الأغنية. أظن إنها من الأغاني التي تتحسن بعد عدة إنصاتات

   13. A MY GIRL FRIEND

This song, from the moment of its release , I really loved it. I really love how gentle it starts with Shori’s long solo part. I also love how Kento’s voice then makes the rhythm faster and faster, until Fuma’s voice appears and drifts it into a different direction . Then after their voices slowly blend the “great” buildup just jumps in! So good. Not forgetting that it also reminds me of Shori’s drama 49 ! I really love it.

هذه الأغنية من وقت إصدارها و أنا أحبها! أحب كيف تبدأ بهدوء مع مقطع شوري الطويل ثم تتدرج للسرعة مع صوت كنتو و تعود لنوع من الاختلاف في مقطع  فوما! و كيف تتدرج بإيقاعات مختلفة من بعد ذلك. إنها أغنية هادئة أحب الإنصات لها في السيارة عندما أقود بين الشوارع المضائة بضوء خافت أثناء الليل. إنها أغنية بالفعل جيدة و تذكرني دائما بدراما شوري,49! أحبها كثيرا

14. 私のオキテ

This fresh song! I love it .It is not sexy zone’s except for the fact that Shori sings in it though. I’m really glad they included it in this album. This song’s rhythm makes me feel hyped up and injects the sudden urge of dancing into me.It also reminds me of the drama 49 , of the guys dressing up as boys and dancing randomly. It is a good happy song , for uplifting your mood and hyping you up during your lazy moods.

هذه الأغنية منعشة! أحبها !نها ليست لسكسي زون لكن شوري يغني فيها.أنا ممتنة للغاية لأنهم قرروا إضافة هذه الأغنية للألبوم.هذه الأغنية دائما تجعل جسدي مليء بالنشاط و مستعد للرقص, كما و إنها تذكرني بدراما 49 عندما كان الأولاد يتنكرون كبنات و يغنوها! إنها أغنية جيدة و فرحة تساعدك على الإستيقاض من نوبة كسل مزمنة

  • Conclusion-الخاتمة:

In conclusion I really loved the album ! I really loved the fact that it had many extras inside, like the cute 2 card pictures and the notebook! Also , the songs have a much more grown up feeling into them than the previous album. It really makes me feel Sexy Zone have matured in a good way! Moreover,  I hated the fact that Marisou’s voices weren’t evident in the album at all… Overall, I really recommend this album~

كخاتمة, أريد القول أن الألبوم أعجبني كثيرا! كما أحببت فكرة وجود أغراض إضافية مع الألبوم ككرتي الصور و الدفتر! و أيضا أغانيهم في هذا الألبوم تحمل نوعا من شعور النضوج و البلوغ أكثر من ألبومهم السابق مما يجعلني أقول أن الزون قد كبروا بشكل ملحوظ ولكنني كرهت أن أصوات ماريوس و سو لم تكن موجودة بكثرة لكن على الرغم من ذلك إنني أؤيد شراء هذا الألبوم
