This single release was brought to my attention by fellow fangirl, Pei.

Surprisingly, I really like this song. I think it’s the best thing since K(A)T-TUN (I hope you understand this lol) released Bokura no Machi de last year (I haven’t yet heard cartoon KAT-TUN II You). I strongly disliked Yorokobi no Uta and SIGNAL. I thought they were quite horrible. However, I’m extremely impressed by Keep the faith. It’s new and addicting. This is the stuff that I expect of KAT-TUN, the quality of their voices and the display of talent in the PV.

However, just because I like the song, does not mean I think it is perfect. Everytime I hear the chorus, I’m tempted to change the melody to something more beautiful and less repetitive. However, I think the melody is alright. Though, their demonstration of what they are capable of totally blew me away. There are three things I really wanna pick about this PV. First, when they came on screen, I went, “WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY WEARING?!?!?” They all look like they stole clothes from hobos from Akihabara (I’m just guessing here; I don’t even know if Akihabara has hobos.), put them through the most expensive laundry system, and then somehow they all came out like new. Akanishi Jin actually looked like a … zebra!! OMG! It’s so bad. Ugh. And what the hell is Kamenashi wearing? It just looks like a checkered bed sheet folded and cut into strips but not all the way. It’s SO WEIRD. Don’t even wanna talk about it anymore. Second, I feel that Nakamaru and Akanishi do not have screen presence. In all of their PV’s and performances, Kamenashi was always the one that had caught my eye. Even now. I was never a Akanishi fangirl, and maybe this is why Nakamaru is always been ignored. Third… … … … TAGUCHI went blonde!!! OMG!!!! I’ve always imaged him as Max-like, in the sense of a young and cute boy from next door. I’m still in the middle of Hanayome to Papa for God’s sake..!! Why destroy my innocent image of him (he’s the one in the top middle for the second picture)??? Just think of Max before the filming of the PV for Choosey Lover. I feel like the boy I’ve had my eyes on grew up too quickly…

I really like the song. Honestly I do. The PV’s not so bad either. But… I wish they were a bit more sensitive with the wardrobe… Idols aren’t supposed to be dressed like hobos.

    So right about the zebra outfit. The blond guy is probably the best looking one in there.
    The song’s not bad, if you take out the rap.

    I know…!!! It really is the best thing to come out since Bokura no Machi de.

    lol. hobos of Akihabara. It’s punk fashion. I kind of like it. It’s messey, it has many layers, and it sometimes is a little weird. But at least it’s consistant amongst all six members. Doesn’t it remind you of that tech-boy from TGQ?

    …the blond hair! It’s pushed back to reveal his sharp checkbones. arhhh! …he seriously looks like Max like that. I doubt the mature image will stay, because Taguchi’s personality is very cute and hyper.

    I like Jin’s fuzzy sweater. It looks more hugable than anyone else’s costume.
