EXILE RUINS MY MUSIC PREFERENCE

These past months I’d been listening to Indonesian songs which is really rare for me. Songs of singers like Tulus, Adera, or a band like GIGI had been filling my music playlist until my addiction to Japanese songs got back because of these guys => Generations from EXILE TRIBE!

Ok, it was such a coincidence when I watched a Japanese Variety Show which was presented by 2 young men who disguised themselves as a teacher in a high school, some kinda prank to the students. These guys are Shirahama Aran and Sekiguchi Mandy from Exile which later made me interested to find out more about ‘em, ya know no one wouldn’t get attracted by that beautiful face Aran has >.<

Actually long time ago I’ve heard about EXILE but never listen or see their music videos, I only know that they’re consisted of few men (about more than ten) and their looks were really mature, like using a black suit while performing in a music show. But then I finally watched their PV aaaand I got my jaws dropped!

EXILE THE SECOND

SANDAIME J SOUL BROTHERS

GENERATIONS

They ARE really different from other Japanese idol groups I’ve been known these times. Not only the concept, the song they represent, the dance, also the music videos, I couldn’t believe I just recognized them nowadays. They consider themselves as a vocal and dance group, so they’re not idol, artist maybe? They only got 2 members as vocalists and the other rests are the dancers or what they call ‘Performers’. This is what I really interested to, the vocalists do have a skill in singing also the performers basically are professional dancers even before becoming EXILE member.

The music videos seem cost a lot of money, a damn looooot money! Unlike Johnny’s groups who make a PV as if it’s only an obligation when you want to sell a CD, as long there’s your fav idol’s face showing, no matter if he only use 1 costume along the video, or only dance in one studio, it’s enough because Johnny-san can guarantee it’ll top the oricon chart #sarcasticdetected#  Yeaaah, I’ve always been disappointed with Johnny’s PV, even for the most famous group like Arashi only have one or two PV which reached my expectation -.-‘

About the music, EXILE has a wide-range of genre, pop, rock, ballad, jazz, and these past years they’ve been making electric-pop music which I used to avoid to listen (I thought it was an ear-soar), but nooow I’m officially addicted! Like R.Y.U.S.E.I from Sandaime J Soul Brothers which was a big hit in 2014, or Generations’ debut song, Brave it out, they’re likely a party song which played in a club, but I just keep playing it though I was a rock music fan XD

And yeah, don’t miss the fact that most of the members have a smexy body which become one of the group’s charachteristic. I’ve become get used to piercing and those accessories they use, it suits them anyway. A fashion that really manly and recent, even the older members still look hot in whatever they wear >.< #ojisanotakudetected

Whooah,  my ikemen-resistant ability decreased again, yabaaai!!
