oooh so that means you would be also happy if they disbanded if they are happy with it?
Personally I can't believe that in a band of 4-5 or whatever people all members (of bands in general) would be happy with such a result but well o_o

Actually no one of those people who replied to my above comment understood the meaning of it yet..and you didn't as well. It's basically somewhere in and between the first line
but uuh..the arashi bait was too delicious..they all had to come

Oh Gawd... I thought for a second that I was talking with a person, not a troll~

Sorry bb, but I lost interest in you!

btw, they are not a band but a group (duh!) and they can outsell whatever you stan in one day, so yeah... I'm pretty sure they are happy with such result! &hearts

Coz I didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear? Sounds rather human to me.
Unfortunately many people are not able to read irony when they know nothing about the person behind..but that's why I won't reply to people either if I don't really know what's their intention o.o

I think you are the first person who ever told me they are a group but not a band. But yeah you're right..they don't play instruments as group and usually don't compose the songs by themself..but maybe that's the point I will never get..that groups outsell bands.
Which makes me sometimes wonder..do groups only exist for money..and bands only for the music they enjoy doing...well it's probably an answer I will never find..

Ok I will only tell you. It doesn't matter to me at all if AKB48 outsell Arashi. I was just fascinated about the number of sales...the rest,I blame it on my bloodtype.

"the arashi bait was too delicious..they all had to come"

...
You know what I mean, right?

Groups and bands... Yeah, two of them can't play instruments and they don't compose all their songs... so what?

Don't be naive, if "bands only [exist] for the music they enjoy doing" why they sign with music record labels and sell Singles/albums? Because they want money, too.
Now you can tell me that they have to fed them and their families, but I can tell you that they can work wherever they want and just do music for the love they feel for it. Not selling their art.

In Arashi's case it's right, they don't create all that they do, but they put their souls in whatever job they are doing. They do that so seriously (that doesn't matter if they are goofing all around or being serious) that that's what fans buy. We love the music, but we love even more the way they make the songs theirs.

And that's something you can't say about all the groups/bands out there.

Aand that's why we don't fuckin' care about numbers! &hearts

So yeah, not harms! ;)

btw, sorry for my bad english~

No I don't really know. Because my intention was not to get attention by arashi fans. It doesn't make sense...I just called it bait because...somehow all commentors are arashi fans...XD
but maybe it's natural..I would probably do the same.

I am not naive..I just never made a difference between group and band so I thought in how far you could think they are different. I know very well that they need money and I don't say bands > groups. Anyway...It's nice how you see the fans as unit. I gave up thinking like that in Kanjani Fandom..lol

What I always loved..no matter what artist it is..that passion. The passion people have for their favourite artists.

and no your english is not bad at all..but maybe I can't say that coz I am no native speaker XD
alexalena 2nd-Mar-2011 03:09 am (UTC)
Well, of course I can't say aaaall the folks out there who are Arashi fans don't care about all this shit, but so far I have been in this fandom, I think we all are looking in the same direction. shit, why I have to sound so cheesy? ¬¬

I really like Kanjani8 myself, but it's more like a casual thing... o.O I think I haven't look around well =)

And I agree with you with the passion thing!

Sorry for calling you troll T.T But like someone below said, this is a delicate topic right now!

and where are you from? =D
d0ci 2nd-Mar-2011 03:23 am (UTC)
in the same direction? lol..future?

What do you mean with casual? Hmm..I think it's probably that casualness..they have some weak singing points..but trying to improve it..and trying to fix it with some other things, so that no one cares for it. XD Hard working in a chilling way..or whatever to call it..lol

Well well delicate topic..if Arashi can't "beat" them, no Johnnys related band can't..so it's not shame. xDD

Hmm, I'm from Germany..need to have a short nap now..need to go to work in 1 1/2 hours and didn't sleep yet...uhm..
alexalena 2nd-Mar-2011 03:39 am (UTC)
lol yeah, something like that~!

With casual I mean that I like just some of their stuff because I haven't search a lot about them... Arashi suck all my fangirl time I suppose^^

I'm from Mexico and I have been procrastinating too much too, I need to go back to my uni books ._.

Bye bye! =D
