Are You Happy? is ARASHI's 15th album & it was released on 26th Oct .

ARASHI's last album release was last Oct's Japonism . In Are You Happy? , singles Ai wo Sakebe , FukkatsuLOVE & I seek / Daylight are included while their most recent / 50th single Power of the Paradise is excluded .

There are 16 songs in total - 4 single songs , 5 solos & 7 new group album tracks . The CD only version of Are You Happy? includes a bonus track TWO TO TANGO .

Are You Happy? focuses on the theme of happy & it portrays the present ARASHI that ARASHI thinks of .

In addition to solo songs , this time round each of the members were in charge of original ARASHI songs using ie. 5 songs that are even more individualised than usual are included in Are You Happy? .

The 'under the supervision of' caption refers to each member being in charge of the song . None of them were involved in the song making , except for Sakurai who wrote his own rap lyrics and Nino who cowrote the lyrics for his solo no. Mata Kyou to Onaji Ashita ga Kuru .

Are You Happy? is described as an album that will envelop all who listen , packaging up ARASHI's current progress as they continue on forward .

Kicking things off in the new album is the 1st album track , DRIVE which was supervised by MatsuJun .

Unlike their past opening album tracks which were upbeat & extremely memorable , DRIVE is quite a laidback song that frankly does not set the pace on what to expect in Are You Happy? subsequently .

I seek is the 1st A-side of ARASHI's 49th single I seek / Daylight . This was used to promote leader Ohno Satoshi's Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi drama .

Described as a love song , I seek centres on the dilemma + sadness of a clumsy man in love & it's sung in a bright positive way that's accompanied with groovy feelings .

Ups and Downs is the 2nd album track & surprisingly , this's used as the opening song for their current ongoing ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2016-2017 Are You Happy? which I find it rather odd as I don't think it's a memorable track .

The next song Seishun Boogie was supervised by Aiba . I feel that this track is slightly better/memorable as compared to the 1st 2 album tracks even though I wouldn't consider this song as a favourite of mine .

Sunshine is the 1st of 5 solos in Are You Happy? & this's sung/rapped by Sakurai . Rap lyrics wise , Sakurai wrote them as per norm .

After Japonism's angsty driven Rolling days , as the title of his latest solo suggest , Sunshine is a cheery no. that's bound to put a smile on fans as this's short & sweet . The addition of Sakurap always adds a nice touch .

FukkatsuLOVE is ARASHI's 48th single & this was used to promote the ads of NTT docomo's d Hits .

Described as a love song , FukkatsuLOVE was composed & arranged by Yamashita Tatsuro , with lyrics written by Yamashita's wife Takeuchi Mariya .

A catchy guitar melody was added to Yamashita Tatsuro's unmistakable chorus & rhythm . ARASHI heartrendingly & melodiously sings the universal story of love between a man and a woman that could be taking place in any era . As such lyrically , FukkatsuLOVE is a dramatic love song that's moulded into like a novel .

ARASHI requested the couple to create a song for them when both of them attended their concert in 2013 . Sakurai described this as a seasonal project & they were real pleased to release FukkatsuLOVE .

In addition , fellow Johnnys colleague Ikuta Toma appeared in the FukkatsuLOVE video .

The next 2 songs are solo tracks . Amore is sung by Aiba while Bad boy is handled by leader Ohno .

When I saw the title Amore , I thought Aiba was going to sing a ballad in which the opening has a piano driven melody . It subsequently changed & became a mid tempo track . I would have preferred if Amore was a full blown ballad as I like what Aiba did for his LOVE solo track Yozora e no Tegami .

As for Ohno's latest solo no. in Are You Happy? , he's like a blank canvas in that basically almost any type of music genre he's able to handle it quite perfectly . For Bad boy , it's a full out onslaught EDM driven no. & it's frankly 1 of the better/memorable tracks in the album .

The next 2 songs are related to Nino in the sense that he supervised the production of WONDER-LOVE while his latest solo track Mata Kyou to Onaji Ashita ga Kuru followed suit after that .

On 1st listen , WONDER-LOVE sounds like a track that didn't made the cut in their 13th album THE DIGITALIAN as just like Ohno's Bad boy , it's quite EDM driven .

As for Mata Kyou to Onaji Ashita ga Kuru , Nino had personal input in that he cowrote the song . I find his latest solo track quite interesting as it's somewhere in between a mid & uptempo piano driven no. .

The next 2 songs are single tracks . Daylight is the 2nd A-side of ARASHI's 49th single I seek / Daylight .

Daylight was used to promote MatsuJun's 99.9 ~Keiji Senmon Bengoshi~ drama . MatsuJun personally requested Sakurai to provide the rap verses in the song .

2012's Face Down was the last single song that Sakurai last rapped in . Linked to the world of drama , both strength + kindness are wrapped inside the warm melody found in Daylight .

Ai wo Sakebe is ARASHI's 47th single & this was used in the ads of wedding information magazine Zexy .

According to creative director Yanai Michihiko , this collaboration came about as he wanted "ARASHI to sing 'a national song of celebration' that everyone can sing together during a wedding reception ." In response to Yanai's request , ARASHI put together a cheerful & uptempo wedding song that's sung from the point of view of the bride's male friends .

On Ai wo Sakebe , ARASHI commented , "The lyrics are made up of words of congratulations that you are too embarrassed to say because you've known each other for a long time as well as feelings of slight loneliness . It would make us happy if you would love this song that will liven up weddings and celebrate a new threshold ."

Baby blue is the last solo track found in Are You Happy? & for this , this's sung by MatsuJun .

All the while MatsuJun's solos always either been hit or miss for me . In this case , I'm in the middle in that while I feel Baby blue is a pleasant sounding song . there's nothing special about it but still it's not as bad/weird as some of his past solo tracks .

Miles away is the next album track & this was supervised by Ohno .

Frankly out of the 5 songs that each ARASHI members supervised , Miles away is my favourite as it's a chilled out sounding song but at the same time , it's 1 of those tracks that has an extra edge over the other album tracks . And if I have my way , a video should have been made for this song .

The next song To my homies was supervised by Sakurai & there's the inclusion of Sakurap in the song .

Despite the rather hip sounding title , To my homies is actually quite a boring song to me as I find it rather lacklustre & even though there's Sakurap present , it doesn't do that much in saving the track .

Don't You Get It is the last song in the CD + DVD edition of Are You Happy? & it's also the only album track that has a video made .

I guess the phrase saving the best for last applies to Don't You Get It & it's quite obvious on why ARASHI chose to make a video based on this song as out of most of the new album material , this's somewhat the most memorable out of the entire lot .

And as compared to ARASHI's past album tracks , Don't You Get It has a less serious tone which showcases a different side of them which's evident on what goes on in the accompany video .

TWO TO TANGO is exclusively found in the CD only edition of Are You Happy? & Sakurap is present in the track .

This can be considered as the most angsty driven song in the album as it's quite bold in your face . While TWO TO TANGO is no truth and/or Breathless , it's still quite ok nonetheless .

ARASHI asks , Are You Happy? After the high concepts of LOVE , THE DIGITALIAN & Japonism , this time the group starts from the basic universal joy of listening to music & presenting songs that make the listener feel happy . Besides singles Ai wo Sakebe , Fukkatsu LOVE , I seek & Daylight , the album includes songs from each member that convey the theme of "happy" .

I hold back in writing/releasing this review because I wanted to make sure I gave Are You Happy? considerable no. of listens before I publish this because it has been a really long time since I last felt so disconnected from an ARASHI album .

The positive aspects is that I feel the single songs that made the cut in Are You Happy? are still tops even though I wished they include Power of the Paradise as I like that song a lot .

And also personal input wise , this's the most amount of individual effort that has gone into the production of an ARASHI record as normally it tends to be Sakurai & Nino who does this for their own solos and/or album tracks . And for all members to do so , it's quite a commending effort .

However despite this , I actually don't feel happy in listening to Are You Happy? . Instead , I felt bored in hearing the new material as most of them sound quite uninspiring & bland . And I genuinely feel that Miles away is the standout non solo track in the album .

When I reviewed Japonism last year , at least some of the album tracks were memorable & able to be on par/suppress the single songs despite it being musically messy . That doesn't apply to Are You Happy? which I think it's a huge pity as albums wise , I thought LOVE & THE DIGITALIAN were ARASHI's most recent better/more put together albums .

Perhaps ARASHI is suffering from album fatigue ? I don't know but considering Are You Happy? is their 15th album & the fact that they've been releasing an album every year , maybe it's time for them to put emphasis on quality as I rather they release an album every 2 years but I know it will sound great as I never would have thought I used the word boring to describe an album released by ARASHI .

For now , I say just skip most of the new material & focus on the single songs + Miles away + perhaps Don't You Get It . I do hope ARASHI would recapture my attention in their next album as I don't want to come to a stage where I would dread & be bored by ARASHI once more .
