Episode 17: The Magic Circle
For this episode I'm joined on the Idolcast by another long time Arashi fan turned BTS fan! We talk about all sorts of stuff including what Johnny's does RIGHT and what worries us K-pop idol groups in general and BTS in particular.
Regarding the Johnny's dormitory, you will still find that the older Johnny's idols like Tokio's Joshima who joined in the 1980s do still mention it from time to time but it is long gone. And for the best.
The songs played are:
1. "Atlantis Princess" by BOA
2. "情非得已" ("Cant Help Falling In Love With You") by Harlem Yu
3. Clip from episode 14 of Mago Mago Arashi
4. "恋に落ちたボディガード" (Bodyguard in Love) by A.B.C-Z
5. "Love Rainbow" by Arashi (A song that neither my guest or I liked on the first or second or 20th listen but it grows on you.)
6. "Fire" by BTS
7. "Otsukare" by SOPE
8. "WISH" by Arashi (5x10 special live version performed by Matsumoto Jun)
9. "No Air" by The Boyz (One of the young groups I've got my eye on. These kids are SUPER talented and have great songs.)
10. "Call out" by ASTRO (One of the best live concert songs! ASTRO have mentioned being inspired by Arashi numerous times and their live concerts show that it's not just words. I highly recommend checking out their new DVD.)
11. "REVENGER" performed by Yara Tomoyuki live on Shounen Club July 2010. He had just come from performing in Takizawa Kabuki and was going straight into starring in PLAYZONE.
12. "Honesty" by SHINee (Fancam of a live performance)
13. "So What" by BTS (Fancam from the Love Yourself tour)
14. "曇りのち、快晴" by Ohno Satoshi (Released as a double A-side with "Believe"; it was the theme song to the drama Ohno starred in called うたのおにいさん that is excellent if you can find it.)
15. "Love Rainbow" by Arashi (AGAIN because you know. Repetition.)
