i like the song but was hesitant to watch the music video. if this makes me cry, i'm gonna be so pissed lmao
this looks... bad. like very cgi. it's the nation's boyband's last song ever, and they were still sparing expense?? whenever you call's mv had more care put into it than this
for the first verse and chorus, why are they pointing at the singer like we havent all memorised their voices by now lmfaooo
i love the coloured star glasses tbh. when i saw their monotone outfits (.. except for jun. but. /ofc/ jun is standing out lol) i was mildly disappointed, but the coloured glasses are cute and enough for me
there is so much ninoai going on here 🔰🔰🔰
why is ohno, who hasnt entertained in years, better at being 'on' than nino, who still entertains for a living
┕> the budget was so low they couldnt even pay ninomiya to care
┕> wait but srsly nino does not look like he wants to be there. i think he's been like this in other mvs too but this time... feels distinctly unprofessional idk. it's funny but im also mad at him
back on ninoai. is nino wearing green in his sweater? i think his pants are green. and ofc aiba is wearing yellow. this is also enough for me 😌✊
┕> back on the styling again too b.c what's with this colour palette? yellow, earthy neutrals except for jun. ohno's burgundy polo. it's like... a weird spring-autumnal mix. who decided this lmao
┕┕> THE BUDGET WAS SO LOW THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE MORE THAN ONE OUTFIT IN THIS MV yet another point for whenever you call
okay mv over and they got one thing right. i did not cry lol but admittedly this was still bittersweet. that shot of them walking towards the camera arm over arm felt powerful
arashi isn't my main starto group, but i made the most friends from being in that fandom. i joined post-hiatus (2022) so i never got to see them fully active and in their prime, but i still was dealing and familiar with the sadness from the fandom. im happy to find that this time around, it's more like attending a celebration of life than a funeral. mostly, i'm happy the guys are all clearly still close b.c that relationship between them matters more to me than their output to us as fans. the music never ends, after all :)
