[Isuikaa]

I want to take him home.

[arashiawase]

You can take me on a test drive any day... ;)

[airamchew]

well this is an honest opinion ok..dont get me wrong..he do looks stiff in this mv..i kinda notice for some interview he looks a bit shy..i think he's adjusting a lot..from japan to usa well u know its kinda different..things that he do or wears in japan i dont think he can do or wear in usa..hope u get what i mean..and that's a big change for him, a big adjustment..so just wait for him to get adjusted, i know he will get better..btw i really like him...i cant really explain why..<3 <3

[Cherry16Leaf]

He looks better without those glasses..^__^

[Opiopion]

The song itself is already so catchy and I just love the beat. It maybe right that Jin wants to impress people with his music not his look :p

@natsujin72 No, not saying it! It's not about non-jpop idols, but about Akanishi Jin! He probably hides his face because he wants it. And about being stiff, I didn't say a word about it because I also thought it, but it's kinda understandable, this is just his first mv, he's probably trying a lot of new things, I feel like everything is new to him! About his 'boring image', this is your opinion, I really like the concept :) Let's wait for his new mv!

[natsujin72]

@julieyukari are u saying non-jpop idols hide their faces and stand stiff the whole time in a dance song MV? No need to find excuse for his boring image in this MV. Just wait for his Sun Burns Down MV to see if he does a better job there.

[julieyukari]

People is criticizing the mv because he didn't show his face too much and he was dancing with hot girls and that's not what girls wanna see and blablabla.

Come on guys, I love the boys from JE, but maybe Akanishi Jin is tired of being the typical jpop idol, having crazy girls screaming because of his beauty and not for his talent. Not saying that J-idols have no talent, but their talent are sometimes forgotten because ppl can only see their faces. If he's tryin a new style I'll support him!

[SHIZUKIyang]

I'll fool him, say we'll go on a test drive and then kidnap him to tokyo and make johnny beg him to return, then he'll be on stage with kat-tun again and I'll be happy.

fml i know I'm being weird but OMG bakanishi i miss u.

[natsujin72]

@entninja actually in North America it's considered improper to wear hats indoor or wear shades when talking to people. It's also considered a total bore to hide face in an MV. I'm surprised no one working with him in US emphasized it on him. Unless Jin wants to go lady gaga, who's famous for posing around so she could hide in a ball and ppl still accept it, he's actually doing all wrong presenting himself in US so far. If he continues that way, he'll go nowhere. I'm his big fan just so you know
