What would be the perfect Arashi concert?  
I've been thinking about this for a while... The idea, actually came to me before attending this tour's concerts, but after going there and seeing them for real ^^ while they sung some of my fav songs, I kept wondering... what would be my favorite concert, the perfect concert including all the songs you love. If you could choose, if you had the power to decide the list, what would include...

I know it depends on your mood and state of mind... so maybe it could be interesting to do it now and maybe six months from now or so...

So here it is, my list of favorite songs that would turn an Arashi concert (which in itself is perfect already) in the perfect concert for me!

I'd have liked to put the songs in order having in mind the flow and the changes between slow song-quick song-dancing song... etc... but the important thing here is the list of songs... I didn't have that in mind (maybe next time I'll do it more carefully).

*I decided the number of songs making a search in google that took me to a lj with a report of last year (2010) Kokuritsu concert (because of course my perfect concert should be held there ;))



1. Rock this
2. Superfresh
3. Spiral
4. Tokei Jikake no umbrella
5. How to fly
6. Boom Boom
7. Yes No?
8. Once Again
9. Lucky Man
10. Right back to you
11. I want somebody
12. Only Love
13. Re(mark)able
14. Attack it!
15. La tormenta 2004
16. Carnaval Night 2
17. A Day in our life
18. Cry for you
19. Love Situation
20. Secret Eyes
21. Troublemaker
22. Mada ue o
23. Negai
24. Morning Light
25. Refrain
26. Let me down
27. Hatenai Sora
28. Always
29. Hanasanai
30. Aozora Pedaru
31. Circus

Solos:
Ohno: Take me far away
Sho: T.A.B.O.O
Aiba: Magical Song
Nino: Doko ni demo aru uta
Jun: La familia*

Encore 1
1. Crazy Moon
2. Truth
3. Monster
4. Believe
5. We can make it

Encore 2
1. 5x10

* I really wonder how Jun would perform that song now that he is older...


I really wonder how much this list can change as time goes by... I'd love to read other people's and see if we have things in common or not, but of course is up to you ^^

I'm going to be with no proper Internet connection next week starting tomorrow. I'll really try to get time to be around, but I will depend on relatives' wifis :S ;)

That's an EXCELLENT choice of Arashi songs! Altho' I would add "To be free" to the list since I LOVE this song ^_^ I wonder why Arashi has never performed "Tokei jikake no umbrella" in a concert before. It's an awesome song!
Anyway, love the list! You did choose great songs!♥
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 01:46 pm (UTC)
I know! I love To be free but I had to fit the number of songs to the list I found and had to leave some songs I really like out... like TBF...

Tokei not being perfomed before is a mystery I don't undestand either...

Glad you like the list of songs!! ^^

That'll be a great concert >,<
But, cz i'm new i don't really know some older songs (what kind of fan actually i am = =")
For me, I love to see them dancing around ^^ So my choice would be like Truth, Monster, Crazy Moon, and all
But I also like it when they do funny songs and moves like Troublemaker >,<
Great list!^^
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 01:47 pm (UTC)
I still don't know some of the early songs myself but I do know most and I love some of them so much!!! and their b-sides kills me because they are so good!!!

I love dancing Arashi, so there are a lot of songs of that type in my list. If this actually happened they would be pretty tired once the concert had finished...

Troublemaker is great when perfomed!!! ;)

So happy you like the list!! ^^
[identity profile] omiage.livejournal.com on October 25th, 2011 05:14 am (UTC)
Ginger-san, would you mind to give me some recommendations? ^^
I'd like to hear them (and love them) more ^^
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 25th, 2011 06:30 pm (UTC)
Of what kind of songs exactly? ;)
[identity profile] omiage.livejournal.com on October 26th, 2011 06:32 am (UTC)
hmm...upbeat songs with lots of Sakurap??hehe
But anything you think good will be fine for me ;-)
[identity profile] nur-amal.livejournal.com on October 22nd, 2011 01:25 am (UTC)
wow~ that's an excellent choices...I mean,I do like it as it has a very good flow from the very beginning :)
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 01:48 pm (UTC)
*blushes* thank you!!! Glad you like it! It means that you also like those songs so it's great we have that in common ;)

I don't know about the flow because I guess they would get pretty tired with so many danceable songs... but well, I like those, so they are in my list...

What an interesting topic to talk about, Ginger-san! ^.^ Your perfect concert´s list is really amazing! My list would be this one, but I am not sure if this would be the order of the performances:
1 - Moving on; 2 – Troublemaker; 3 - We can make it; 4 - Love Situation; 5 – Still; 6 – Blue; 7 - Snow flake; 8 – Sirius; 9 - Carry on; 10 - Cry for you; 11 - How to fly; 12 - Mada Minu Sekai e; 13 - Mada ue o; 14 - Tokei Jikake no umbrela; 15 - Right back to you; 16 - Yes No?; 17 - I want somebody; 18 – Wasurerarenai; 19 – Season; 20 – Kaze; 21 - Oh Yeah!; 22 –Believe; 23 – Truth; 24 – Always; 25 – Joy; 26 – Monster; 27 - Crazy Moon; 28 - La tormenta 2004; 29 - Sakura Sake.
Encore: 1 - A-Ra-Shi; 2 - Pikanchi Double; 3 - Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi, 4 - A Day in Our Life
Double Encore: 5 x 10.
Solos: La Famiglia or Yabai Yabai (Jun-kun), Take me far away (Riida), Niji (Nino), Kono mama moto (Sho-chan), Hello Goodbye (Aiba-chan).
Our lists have several songs in common! ^.^
But I guess you are right, probably this list would change in six months from now… After all, the preferences always change! ^.^
So, are going to visit your relatives? Have a nice time and take care! ^.^ And I hope you find a good internet connection! ^.^
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 01:53 pm (UTC)
I'll like to repeat this post like in 6 months or so. I don't have proper Internet connection this week but right now I'm at my parents' and can reply to this!4

Your list is also great! I love Moving on, Mada minu sekai e, Sakura Sake, Kansha Kangeki... , Oh Yeah! In fact Oh Yeah! was on my list but I couldn't fit it in the total number of songs... so I had to take it off... I really love Kono mama moto, and I saw it live -not rubbing it at your face, just a fact- and I liked it a lot!!... but hot Sho in T.A.B.O.O is too much to not include it again...

Lets do the list again in 6 months time.... shall we? ^^
[identity profile] sesquerdo.livejournal.com on October 24th, 2011 06:22 pm (UTC)
Don´t worry, Ginger-san, I know you are not the type that rubs things in other´s face – it´s a fact that you saw Kono Mama Moto live and it is a happy fact! ^.~ Taboo is hotter and sexier, but I like Sho-kun as a sweet boy singing a balad that´s why I chose Kono Mama Moto, but Taboo is great too! ^.^
You can count me on to comment your future list in six months from now! ^.~
By the way, I can´t wait to hear their new song that will come with that special edition of Beautiful World Album! *.* They wrote it together, so I am really looking forward to it! ^.^
Enjoy your time at your parent´s house! ^.^

XD You like many of the B-side songs like I do. Especially Spiral, tokei jikake, and boom boom are so cool and I love them. <3

I would choose anti anti for Sho's solo, though. That's my favorite solo from him.

... and Re(mark)able, Attack it, and La Tormenta are in the same line, so I'd just choose one.

And add 2-3 from this pool: Everything, boku ga boku no subete, Subarashiki Sekai, Still, Futari no kinenbi, kansha kangeki ame arashi, or Life. (I should say among these, Still and Everything are my fav.)

Definitely add Pikanchi Double. I love that song soooooooooo much. :)

I like Rock this, but as an opening, I sort of like movin' on a bit more. There's something about the lyrics of movin' on that I'm just in love with so much.

since you won't have much internet, I won't posting anything this weekend. LOL
JUST KIDDING <-- as in I'm kidding about the reason. The truth is I have to give a presentation next week... and I'm not done with the slides yet. -"-
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 01:59 pm (UTC)
Arashi B-sides have something unfair to them... Meaning, they are so fantastic that it's a pity they are in some way lost there in the singles and not performed live... I really love so many of them!! and would love to them in a concert....

Boku ga boku no subete, I love it a lot! and kansha kangeki.... too and Everything... but I couldn't fit all the ones I like. Being honest I love most of Arashi songs... so it was hard to reduce it to a list...

I also like Movin' on as first song, but I couldn't stop thinking in the black outfits they have on while singing Rock this in the BW tour, so I had to include it!

Hope you can find time after the presentation to write more of the fic... I so want to read what happens next!!! Good luck with the presentation! ^^

Had a little connection today... ^^

Interesting meme!! For me it wouldn't be a concert without Happiness and Kitto Daijoubu. I went totally mad when they came on. I'd want Season too! I have always wanted them to perform Modori Ame as well but they've never sung it at a concert as far as I know. Definitely one of my favourite songs.
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 02:00 pm (UTC)
I didn't think of it a meme but you are right it looks like one. I'm glad you find it interesting. I love both songs but for me the must have in a concert are Believe and Lucky man! ;)

[identity profile] jihunny.livejournal.com on October 22nd, 2011 11:41 am (UTC)
Been watching The Sing-Off show these days. Watch it, so good~ ^^

Which is why I want some a cappella thrown in. Either one song or a medley a cappella.
I think they can do it. ^^

I would include all the songs they have written as a group or individually. Maybe an English song or two - in solos or group.

I would like Sho to do a full-on hip hop/rap performance.
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 02:02 pm (UTC)
Where is it aired? that show...

A friend of mine is trying to get some Arashi songs without the music to enjoy just their voices... but still haven't found the proper way...

I'd love if Sho decided to do another The Show concert by himself... but I doubt he will... now their bond as band is too strong to do such a solo work, imo...
[identity profile] jihunny.livejournal.com on October 25th, 2011 04:51 am (UTC)
The Sing-Off is an American show. Currently in its third season. I got it off the internet. ^^

The only a cappella performance from Arashi off the top of my head is 'Kimi Ga Iinda' from MSte. They did a minute or so of that before going into Tomadoinagara. I love Kimi ga iinda. If only they performed it again... ^^

I would love to watch The Show DVD. J-Storm, why aren't you releasing it? Yeah, another solo concert would be difficult to do these days. Arashi have a lot on their plate...

Wah~... u love your lists song so much... and i hope that someday Arashi will make a list song like you... i wanna Arashi sing more songs from B-side and album... both old and new ones... And there were a lot of songs that i wanna add too like Niji no kanata he, Koe, Life, Fuyu no Nioi, donna kotoba de, Days, kazemidori, kiss kara hajimayou, carry on,caramel song, my answer, modori ame, snowflake, firefly.... more and more.... haizz...... .. i hope that someday Arashi will make a poll for everyone to choose the song that they wanna hear and see the perf in concert... anw, that just a dream of silly girl...
ginger001[personal profile] ginger001 on October 24th, 2011 02:04 pm (UTC)
OMG if they decided to perform something close to this list I so want to be there!!!!

Thank you, glad you like the list!!! ^^

I'd love if they decided to play old songs even if they performed them before because I want to know how differently they do it. The B-sides is such a waste of great songs that aren't performed!!!! It really pains me...

A poll asking the fans would be great... but at the end if it's like the one SMAP did for their latest album... I won't get any of my favs there... :S
