Jelly Octopus Legs (and Hands)

Okaaaay I so need to cleanse my mind with some of Se7en's Japan stint now. Can't shake the feeling that I saw a few 'borrowed' moves in Arashi's Around Asia concert.

Seeing the Arashi boys wiggle and bop is not too bad for this jaded self but I mostly avoided The Sotong and focused on Sho (SO DAMN KAKKOI!) and Ohno (Ooh la la!). Aiba's face sorta reminds me of Hyesung probably due to his hair. Er, but that's about it lah. No one can compare to Shinhwa oppas mar. Bwahaha.

I actually recognised about a quarter of the tracklist ^^;; Which eventually got stuck in my head then had me humming to them even when I went into the toilet. Hence the brainwashing.

Anyhoo, Se7en's US singles sound... good. For Americanised Kpop songs. They're a liiiiiitle meek than any other typical R&B you get out of the States in this decade. Who knows? Maybe he can make it. I hope he does. Especially because he's venturing into the US market.

Although before that, I would like to bitchslap those people who whine about Se7en's change of musical styles in these 2 songs. Hello?? Stop being so self-absorbed, you prigs. Whatever kind of music from Asia have never crossed into the US very well since they can't fully accept other cultures too different than their culture (or you might say, popculture). It's common sense. What is accepted in one popculture isn't always what is considered normal in another popculture.

Masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang harimau... kena baham lah.
