KAT-TUN III: Queen of Pirates

mood: grateful
music: KAT-TUN - Taboo

At last, KAT-TUN III - Queen of Pirates has leaked! Many thanks to

[info]maishampoo and  [info]kattunlove.

Concerning the "stunning jacket artwork", the boys were turned into figurines again! Is this some kind of game? Yeah, the jacket artwork really stunned me. I was staring at their hair for some minutes! They look so boyish! (Is it the first time you realize this, Marilena?) And their clothes are so cute! I want my copy soon, YesAsia!!! (And Greek Post.) 
[edit: holy shit they used special plastic wigs and acrylic resin make-up!]

Ok, the serious stuff.

The album is as good as Best of. Cartoon KAT-TUN II You was an album that raises your spirit and makes you want to dance, but here… From the epic introduction, to the fast rock songs [actually most of the album rocks] and the sweet RnB (yes, I LOVE both Taboo and Affection! KT are training me into RnB – or get me in through the back door – whatever! Of course Taboo is not entirely RnB, I think it has some latin element as well), everything sounds really great. 12 o’clock and Six Senses are good songs to dance to, by the way. Uhmm… I just want to point out here – I am really - really sorry Maru – that the beatboxing in the beginning of 12 o’clock sounded like farting! But the rest of the song is very groovy. And it has the most electronic elements of KT songs as far as I can remember. What’s more, Shot is the first jazz-swing song that I like. It sounds so… mature? And Mother / Father is like a Tatsuya – Jin duet! <33 And Tatsuya - Yuichi as well! I only didn’t like Nannen Tattemo very much… But I guess it’s ok. I like the electonic/disco element and the drums and guitar of Our Story and un- is interesting as a song as well.

I am so looking forward to see the live performances!

I just downloaded the whole thing! Sixz Senses sounds awesome! I'm gonna listen to the album 2-3 times though to reach to a clear verdict about the songs; but I already think it's their best album to date! Thumbs up!!

You think it's better than Best of? Hmm... aren't they both as charming?

wait, electronica/pop for Our Story?? isn't that genre more fit for 12 o'clock? (are we have same copies? :p) Our story sound like total cheap pop

Yes, I am talking about Our story and this sound at the beggining. The rest is pop, yes and with a few rockish sounds. (Ok, I am looking for details!!!)
12 o'clock is a lot more electronic, yes, also true, with a dancing rythm. :p

Ah, I am not familiar with Duran Duran and very little with Roxette. I can't identify something similar right now...

I have an unrelated question to you pertaining to Greek, if that's okay.

Is medieval/Byzantine Greek intelligible to you?

[info]marilena_r

Yeah, I suppose so, a little bit. Why?

I want to learn about Byzantine history and I think that learning Byzantine Greek would be a good way to go about it. To do that, it might not hurt to start off with modern Greek.

I think that learning medieval greek doesn't really matter. You can find much bibliography in english I suppose.

i don't get what you mean by mother/father sounds like uebo/jin duet.. have to go listen again XD

anyway, i think for this album, everyone had a chance to really sing, and it's not like just akame being the lead singers. i can't seem to be able to differentiate who sings wat now XD

Lol! I am trying to listen to Mother/Father for a millionth time. I got convinced that in the beggining, after Tat-chan's solo part Jin sings with him... But maybe it's Maru? Guh, that reduces the jinda effect... a lot!!! Hahaha! *listens again*
But yes, they all got many singing parts! But why does that make you unable to differentiate their voices? It's the duets that seem hard to figure out...

Jin's and Kame's parts? *scratches head* Yeah, they are usually the easiest to tell apart... I haven't tried to identify every vocal part, so I am not sure...

I just listened to the songs...

...and I thought it's really amazing!!! It's like KT's music is evolving into a diffrent genre each time!! I luv all of it!! I'm happy that they finally put the 6 senses in an album!!
I have to agree with the farting sound, that got my laughing so hard, it does sound like a fart, but other than that, the rest of the 12 O'clock song sounds great, and yes groovy :D
I can't wait for the live too, it's going to be exciting!!!

Re: I just listened to the songs...

You think they are changing genres? Aren't they always pop/rock?
You know why I am looking forward to the lives? Because I am waiting for the day they prove once again wrong those who say that they can't dance or that Jin's voice is deteriorating. XD
