New top 10 this week and it's Kiss My Fteutoo's turn!
I love saying that
Kiss My Fteutoo
Single released in 2013, it's also on their second album Good Ikuze!
It's Top1Oricon and also N.1 on Japan Hot 100
Unmei Girl is a pop rock tune, very fresh and lively
The title means Destiny Girl so the song is about love, the first emotions
What I particularly like in this PV is the choreo
KSMFT2's speciality is to perform wearing rollerskates, their choreo and shows revolve around this
But if you have the impression that there are only 3 members, that's normal, it's something specific to them
7 members but only 3 are authorised to sing
Don't ask
The PV is split between the routine/choreo which I adore, I love their routines
and the 3 members close-ups
You might also spot the 4 members in the back but they decided to close-up only on the 3 singers
I especially enjoy that musical chair around a giant stiletto-shaped couch
Random, but funny!
Why not?
This one is special as it was performed during their pre-debut period, that they would sing during
concerts when they were backdancing for KAT-TUN. Yep, just saying!
Yes that's why I like them. I saw the babies grow up!
Emotion!
The song was out in 2010 but the group debuted in 2011 and the PV was shot 2 years later
Unlike Unmei girl, it's more rock with a heavier guitar sound, a choreo where you shake your hair
A very show-off-land PV, with lots of dancing and fire burning around because you know..."Fire" Beat!
It's also the theme for Misaki N°1 drama, which is a sort of Gokusen but with a stewardess instead of a daughter of Yakuza
It's a very cool song, catchy and easy to remember but more importantly: dat hair shake!
Quite emblematic now
So because it was made before their debut, it gives more sentimental value to the song
Released in 2013, the sing is called:
As I already talked about Unmei Girl I won't repeat myself but
I found the 2 songs on the singles are equally good
This song is both melancholic and encouraging
It's the 16th best selling single of 2013 in Japan
It's a pop type of ballad, it's not on the very slow, deep and depressing side
It's a very good surprise to have this type of single, usually we focus on the more upbeat songs
but I love the lyrics for My resistance
I've been listening to it again a lot lately
It's about not giving up your dreams, keep fighting, the melody starts a bit slower but it's quickly more lively
There's some piano in the melody so it's beautiful to listen to, it's a sort of "Mood" song
The PV is simple, there's a part with dramatic close-up of the members gazing pensively in the distance
Then KSMFT2 will found blue shining necklaces representing Hope
Symbolism!
It gives them courage to move forward and obviously to dance in the middle of a building's patio
but more importantly: vigourously dancing under the rain! Because oh boy is that more dramatic!
So if you already have trouble keeping your resolutions during that beginning of the year
Go listen to My Resistance, Kisumai is here to support you
This song is quite special because there are 3 versions of it: they realeased a dance and a rock versions
And there's one mixing these 2 versions on the album, that's my favourite
To match the 2 versions there are 2 PVs as well: one dance and one rock
The single was released in 2012, it's Top 1 Oricon and is also on the Good Ikuze! album
You'll hear about this album a lot, it's my favourite
However, PV-wise I like the Dance version way better with that beautiful Chicken Dance, that is fabulous AF!
The choreo is almost an Aerobics lesson, colours are vibrant, it's entertaining, very urban
So it's much more interesting than the Rock version where they just stand there like "Hey check me out, I'm so Dark and Gorgeous!"
I mean it's nice, with lots of amps, black and white and bling-bling
OK, it's boring I'm sorry
Melody-wise however the fact that they mixed the 2 songs in one track on the album, makes it awesome
In both versions, there's always a moment when I'm pondering "Meeeh do I like that? I'm not sure anymore"
But they took the best of the 2 and the mix is just fantastic I never got bored of it
To sum up, Rock version is swagilicious, but way less fun!
Do the chicken, do the chicken
Released in 2013, yeah it was a hit year for them,
the single is called:
Meaning
Makes no sense but it sounds cool
I must warn you that regarding titles of songs or whatever
Kisumai Fteu Two kisses my Every-fucking-thing
Kis-my-1st, Kis-My-Journey, Kis-My-Venus, Kis-My-Fairies, Kis-My-Shop, Kis-My-Me-Mine
Kis-My-ZERO 1,2,3 versions
Kis-My-Jet, Kis-My-Mint...WOOOH!
It was fun the first 3 years but you have to stop, guys!
Back to the single
The song was used in a CM for KissMint Gum, and in 2013, I was in Japan for the first time....
and this freaking ad was playing in repeat all day, every day, on the giant screens of Shibuya for the entire month
Probs more but can you imagine having the giant heads of Kisumai going "Kisumai, Kisumai"on repeat in Shibuya every day?
It was horrible!
That CM is horrible to begin with, so let me tell you this song traumatized me
After that I was like "Nope, Kis-My-Nothing I'm out!"
WHY this CM?
Afterwards, listening to it continuously, brainwash did its works and I love this song
but it's really rousing, upbeat and it's a very happy song
In spite of this "Kisumai, Kisumai" part that always triggers me...it is great
The choreo is super cute, the chorus is very catchy
However, the PV... what the fuck happened?
I know they have to promote the sponsor (Kiss Mint) but turning it into an Almigthy chewing-gum...?
That went too far, guys. Surely there's a simpler concept!
What's with the creepy old man in a dungeon? That's fucking weird I'm sorry,
I mean the mummy and shooting lasers!?
I mean, please, why? No!
On the other hand, I adore the costumes they look fantastic
Basically the PV doesn't have a lot to do with the lyrics, which are more about love, passion and sensuality
Anyway, as mentioned, it was off to a bad start but I ended up loving it dearly,
and well..sharing is caring
Single released in 2012, it's on the Kis-My-1st album
I warned you!
It's Top 1 Oricon and the PV is also very WTF, because it's for the same sponsor as Kiss Your Mind
The things you have to do for sponsors!
This time it's in a prison, there's some sort of gathering looking more like a black mass,
brandishing the Almighty Gum
and, for an unknown reason, Kisumai decides to roller-dance in front of the prisoners... *Yup*
The song though is very catchy, pop and makes you dance, again the choreo looks adorable
It's both funky and psychedelic, VERY happy song again
And the CM as well is very psychedelic...Now they're puking lasers...
WHY JAPAN?
Oh and there are 2 versions: one for Kisumai Fteu Two...
and one for Kisumai Fteu-Tette
Oh, Japan!
Who cares about the lyrics, I mean they're pucking rainbows that give you fresh breath!
Released in 2012, the single is called:
It's Top 1 Oricon and is also on the...Good Ikuze album... Yes, I KNOW!
This is a more summery song, it's very pop electro, very dance and has a nightclub vibes to it
and the PV takes place in a nightclub!
It's one of my favourite choreo, it's very easy to follow, and is made to make people dance together
It's freaking adorable
As you reckon, lyrics are about dancing, hitting on someone on the dancefloor and shaking your body
About the PV now: I have no problem with it , it's well made, consistent with the song, it looks great
But....Taisuke
He's wearing me out, just like Kame did in 2006
It's tiring!
Too much, that's just too much, I can't even call him Taisubitch (like Kamenabitch) it's just... just.. shut up
It's Shut-Up-Suke!
If you're a fan of Taisuke, I'm sorry...No, actually I'm not.
That's why I prefer the live to the PV
But the single in itself: awesome
I know, it's not his fault if he was basically raised by Kame
You like or hate this style, I personally hate it. I'm happy both of them toned it down nowadays
Not falling!
Yep, 5 albums and 17 singles later, this song still has a very special place in my heart, I love it to bits!
It was released in 2016 as you know, and as I talked about it in the Top 10 Halloween, I'll let you watch that
No need to repeat myself so...next!
Released in 2012 on the Kis-My-1st album, it's a very rock sound, with an overpowering rhythm
and memorable English catchphrases
It wasn't released as a single so there's no PV or ranking for this song
There are a few live but it's a shame because I love that style
Yes, it may be because it was more influenced by KAT-TUN and now their style has evolved a bit
I still love this song, it's a very "rebel, show-off" type of song, about being the best, that nothing will stop them
Not really any choreo but, to be fair, why would they bother? the song by itself is enough
Black & White...Get it?
I'm so funny!
Released in 2013, it's on an album that I won't mention because I already did..about 8 times now...
It's very in line with Take over, no single dedicated to this song or promo around it
It's more on a dynamic and urban style
Especially regarding the costumes, the "routine" even if there's not a lot of choreo
I like what they made of it but it's a shame they didn't make the MOST of it to be honest
I get it, it wasn't the "face" of the group but it's a shame!!
The rhythm is between rap/dance and, as the title suggests, it's about light and darkness
not loosing yourself, very Yin and Yang actually
Quite simple but good enough
I realise now my Top 3 are going hand in hand (Psycho, Take Over, Black & White)
It's exactly the Kisumai Style that I enjoy the most
Reason why I was a bit disappointed by the latest album as the sound was more colourful, pop and light
Rock is how I like my Kisumai, is it really surprising to you guys?
I don't think so
