KAT-TUN's long awaited 5th album, CHAIN, is mine.
This album is highly electronic. It really is inevitable these days so I can't be too disappointed. And I think the way KAT-TUN uses it makes it favorable. A lot of it reminds me of being in space (lol I was playing Mass Effect all day earlier so yeah) and they also still incorporate the guitar for which they are known in their ~sound~ so that is good.
Also, listening to the album in order was revealed the little relationships to intros and outros as well as the mood that was crafted so carefully. KAT-TUN and their writers, producers etc all pay great attention to detail. This is one of the top best qualities of KAT-TUN and why they are my favorites ♥

It has been so long since I have done a review and I figured, since I have missed my men so much (and still so since they're on tour forever), I owe them a little something.

So as planned, here are my thoughts on CHAIN, song by song!

01. LOCK ON

- CHAIN REVIEW -

1. LOCK ON
I’d already listened to this track 800 times prior to my copy of the album even showing up. Oops? I guess it goes without saying that this song is amazing. They all sound their best here but I believe the star is Maru (中丸雄一). Without him I don’t thing it could have been carried off quite as well. Also, it definitely should have been a single. To top it off the PV is the best in a while.


2. ONE DAY
Superb opening, T-UN are killing me with how perfect they sound and the chorus is fun, upbeat and has a general good feel to it. The “YOU, YOU, YOU” makes me smile each time I hear it. :3


3. BIRTH
Single 1 of 5: I wasn’t too keen on this the first time I heard it. I liked it but I didn’t find it particularly amazing – probably because of the quality of the earliest previews. Even so, I didn’t really start to like it until after a couple episodes of Yokai Ningen Bemu. …

I need to sort up my... goals for this year. I'm afraid that buying all of them (+ the newest KAT-TUN/Akanishi Jin releases) is prolly impossible though.

- I will cross out things, which I managed to buy.
- Newly bought KAT-TUN's CDs will appear here: http://www.last.fm/user/Shalotte25/journal/2011/08/19 later.
- Newly bought 'other' japanese CDs will get one day own journal entry. For now they'll also appear in the entry above.

Well, nevermind... Just don't mind this list. It's for my own, weird purposes. :)
