EXILE / 24karats GOLD SOUL

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure I've seen this video like 5 times already by the same goddamn group. And it's super embarrassing to see them do the same '' let's walk slowly towards the camera with a cool, serious face '' thing. You are not cool, you are not badass, stop trying to create that image, because it always falls flat and is extremely pathetic.

 

And their choreo.. it seems like they keep doing the same hiphop dance moves over and over. Some uniqueness couldn't hurt. And sometimes, LESS IS MORE, as well. The fidgety dance moves are starting to become really unimpressive and like, wow, I've seen you do this a thousand times already, switch it up maybe. I don't know what it is, but there's just this lack of... fluidity in most of their dancing. 

 

I'm not saying they aren't talented though. They obviously are. But I'm just getting bored. And I'm sure some dance expert is going to school me now on how fucking amazing they are.

 

I DID LIKE THE INSTRUMENTALS THOUGH. I thought it was a good mix of modern and classic. Props for that though, it did sound quite fresh to me.

Well tell us how you really feel...

Are the song and its mv already transparent enough for you, DocumentaLy? (Witchcocktor, show yourself and prove it wrong/right!). At least, Witchcocktor's comment has some constructive elements in spite of its thoughness.

But I know, different folks and different strokes. The personalities of the three of us are really different, at least by the tone of our posts. Our ways to show a same feeling are pretty different and we need to understand each other. But unlike Witchcocktor you seem really resented towards EXILE. Of course, I can't expect My Little Pony all the time and I wish EXILE fixes the problems Witchcocktor points out (repetitiveness, forcedness....) as well as others like the lack of Shokichi and Nesmith from 2009 to this day.

Could we pave the way for understanding each other much better than we do right now? I may be missing lots of points and reasons of you doing something.

 

Back to the music video, think their record label may push them to pull that bad boy image because of their target audience, thus that may not be 100% EXILE's fault.

Yes, the music video... I like it. I've seen elements of it lots of times before, tho. Didn't expect the silent dance, may be used as sort of a behind the scenes of dancing.

 

And I think it's okay for us to be a little bit more grateful, this may be the best EXILE song in half a decade.

I think the 24karats concept is very dated. In certain parts, musically and visually, it looks very J-Urban last decade.

Reply accepted!

I really have no problem at something being "like in the past" as long as the thing is well-done and has its own flavour, but it's our tastes which made us think what I think.

....... this track has get stuck in my head. It costed two months, but I think this one deserves to be in my top 10 of songs by EXILE. And the music video. The silent dance part. How they control their breathing. How their shoes make those noises as if they were playing basketball. How many km/h can they reach by flailing their arms. I would love their motions to be analyzed for scientific purposes.

 

The cheesy 3d animals (except the wolf, who looks he's straight out of 300) and the spaceship can gtfo though, but I don't mind it when I have a load of amazing music and dances I can enjoy
