CTQ 30 day challenge
#CTQ_30days_challenge_1604
1st day - When and how did you know about Bullet Train?
It was on October 10, 2013, I was looking through youtube for niconico dancers, when I found the Secret Express Dance version video. Then I found Shake Body and was sucked in because of their silly song. I posted on my facebook with the Shake Body music video and wrote: "someone explain this to me.... TT.TT/ I listened to the group’s other songs, they are so handsome~ I just can't believe they're our age.../ sigh... I never knew the voices of humans were this cool... still Vocaloids FTW!!!" I was so cringy in the past OTL Now I don't follow Vocaloid much, and only follow CTQ
Day 2 - What do you like about them? What make them so different from other groups?
CTQ is actually the only boy group I like (though I am open to other suggestions of groups like CTQ). No other group has captivated me as much as them. I like them mostly because of their personalities. I like how natural they look and behave. They do not seem fabricated at all (other groups are too tense or are too put together). I love how they are cute and dorky, goofy, yet cool at the same time.They emit this wonderful aura ( like a caring friend). Even though I do not understand Japanese, I can just tell what they are talking about b/c of their weird actions XD. Most importantly they always make me laugh whenever I am having a bad day.
Day 3- Who was the member that caught your eye first?
The first member that caught my eye first was Ryouga. It was during an episode of 超D where the members were split up into 2 group with a draw. When it was Ryouga's turn to draw, he was really derpy and cute. (I want to find that episode again,but can't :C) I liked how when he tries to make a joke, sometimes the other members would look at him funny. I also thought his acne on his face was cute. Ya I'm weird.
Day 4 - Your current favorite member? Did it change over time?
My current favourite is Koichi, but it used to be Ryouga (now #2). I hadn't noticed Koichi at first, but he became more talkative and louder LOL, so he got my attention. I think he is the most dynamic character (I read too much manga). He kinda has a resting angry face, so when he smiles and laugh I get so happy ( he has the biggest smile and loudest laugh)! His voice is so beautiful. Otousan like, yakuza like, cute, funny, ridiculous, painful ( though Ryouga is much more painful) .... He loves food like me. The faces he makes are just so anime like. Overall he looks cool and serious, but is the derpest of them all. Sorry for the fangirling.
Order of favourite <-- April 4, 2016
Koichi
Ryouga
Yuusuke
Kai
Takashi
Takuya
Yuki
Day 5 - Your favorite couple/friendship?
RyouKai. Definitely. The first time I saw them, I thought they were best friends. Ryouga seems to bring out Kai's silliness. Which is really funny. I was surprised the first time Kai acted silly, not mysterious and cool anymore LOL
Day 6 - Cutest member in your opinion?
Koichi would be the cutest, I mean, look at those chubby cheeks, big round eyes, cute smile, weird faces and tantrums
Day 7 - Sexiest member in your opinion?
Yuusuke , but he's a sexy model only during the rare times that he is serious ....
Day 8 - Which member do you think is the most romantic?
Ryouga because I think he just knows how to use his words. Pretty cheesy too I must say. Also Takashi because he is basically like a prince charming XD
Day 9 - Most favorite song (in general)?
My favourite song would be Shake Body. It is such a silly song~ Listening to it makes me energized and happy! I can't seem to find the English translation. If anyone found it, please tell me~
Day 10 - Most impressive instrumental/song beat/melody? Fanfare and Summer Love. They both are upbeat and positive. The beat is fun to dance to. I love to sing to the only English parts I know lol. Songs that I like:
-Shake Body -Fanfare <--- so positive -TRAIN <-- Koichi's voice!!! -snowbreak -No More Cry -SURVIVOR -Love Again <-- Koichi -Secret Express -Superstar <-- everyone gets a part~ -Panipani <-- funky, rap -Billion Beats <-- Takashi -What's going on Hop Step Jump -One life -One/ O Signal -Style -Summer Love -Turn up -Pretty Girl okay.... all their songs...
Day 11 - Most favorite MV? My favourite MV would be Ikki and Battaman. The silly ones just make me want to watch them over and over. Especially Ryouga's parts. Ninja Ryouga in Ikki and Drunk Ryouga in Battaman LOL
Day 12 - Most favorite outfit/costume? (in MV, liveshow...)
Christmas Live and the baseball looking one.
Day 13 - Which song do you like Kouichi's voice in the most?
TRAIN, Love Again and Summer Love . My favourite part in Summer Love is when Koichi says "I love you Baby~". Kyaaaa!!
Day 14 - Which song do you like Takashi's voice in the most? I like his voice in Summer Love the most. His voice sounds more clearer and he has more parts in the song. His singing is improving~. Ganbatte Takashi!
Day 15 - Which Kai's center song do you like the most? Policemen. The dance and outfits are so cool!!!
Day 16 - Which Ryouga's center song do you like the most? Both Bloody Night and Believe x Believe. Love both his cool side and silly side~
Day 17 - Which Takuya's center song do you like the most? Stardust Love Train and Shake Body... handsome XD
Day 18 - Which Yuuki's center song do you like the most? Gravitation and Beautiful Chaser!!! Even though Yuuki is cute and clumsy, but when it comes to his dancing and his MVs, he just look so cool!!
Day 19 - Which Yuusuke's center song do you like the most? Both ikki!!!i!!!!! and Battaman! His centers are always so funny and energetic! Love the choreographs and outfits for the songs~
Day 20 - Most favorite choreography My favourite choreography would be Shake Body.... oh those pelvis thrusts XD I love all of their dances! Summer love, Hashire, Pretty Girl, Ebiday Ebinai, Fanfare, No.1, Beautiful Chaser etc.....
Day 21 - Most favorite live/concert moment(s)? I don't know which concert. Yuusuke was dressed up as an otaku. Yuki was dressed up as a girl. Yuki was jealous that Yuusuke was looking at Takashi (his Cologne girl version) on the screen. So happy that they acknowledge the YuYu shipping XD I also loved the whole 3rd Anniversary concert~ The changing back drop was awesome! Oh, and the Fanfare concert where they were singing in the air~
Day 22 - Do you like the concept of Bad Boyz & Cologne? Would you like them to make an appearance again in future concert? Yes! Bad Boyz was so derpy. Loved Koichi's rapping. Kai was really cool. Ryouga was pfff... still very garigari. Cologne is such a cute group, and I love the song "Candy Night". Where can I download the song!!?
Day 23 - Which member would you like to be your lover/husband? Koichi!!! Such husband and father material. I might have to bribe him with food.... yes.... if that doesn't work, I'll go to Ryouga XD
Day 24 - Which member would you like to be your brother/relative? Koichi- my husband.... :) Ryouga- big brother, my GariGari senpai!!! Kai- cousin/ big brother Takuya- cousin Yuki- girl friend ~~ Yuusuke- little brother/ best friend (I'm already a Yuusuke, so my family would be even more chaotic with another me XD) Takashi- little brother (that I would spoil)
Day 25 - What concept would you like them to do next (and who should be the center)?
More Yuusuke centers with the silly concepts~ And yes, Koichi and Takashi should get to be in a center too. More dancing roles for the background vocals~
Day 26 - What collaboration would you like them to have in the future (band/song writer-producer/artist/being anime OP-ED/etc...)
Collaborations with the EBiDAN family or their sister group! I especially wanna see a collab with M!LK ( my favourite) Definitely more anime OP-EDs
Day 27 - How did you feel about Bullet Train current changes (from fantasy theme to more normal-boyband-y like)? Would you like them to be like this from now on, or to get back with more fantasy theme?
I like how they are right now, because they have improved so much! Also their outfit designs are MUCH better quality. BUT I still really like their unique concepts. I don't want them to turn into a normal boyband. Their unique concepts are what attracted me to them. I can hopefully rely on Yuusuke to bring out the group's uniqueness~~ So a mix would be great!
Day 28 - What change would you like them to have? (concept, range of music genres, distribution between dancers/vocal...) I think their concept is great! Having numbers, colours and tantou really helped me understand the group more. Would be cool if they have an unique song for each member! Their music genre is all over the place. But I love their upbeat happy songs the best. I wanna see the back vocals dance more, sometimes they just stand there.
Day 29 - Do you have any kind of goods from them? I only have the RING album that I got my little brother to buy when he was in Japan. Shipping fees are way too expensive!! I wanna buy the Ebidan magazines now that they are in Kindle form.
Day 30 - How many more year from now on do you think that they would have their dream come true and eventually get to hold a concert in Tokyo Dome? I'm not sure what the relative time it takes for a group to hold a concert at Tokyo Dome, but I want it as soon as possible (though hoping around 2 years time b/c I plan to go to Japan then)! I will support them as much as I can for their dream to come true!
