Music video: EXILE's Atsushi - Aoi Ryu

I did not expect any song to come out of EXILE which would appease my desire for a Winter ballad this side of the season, but they've only gone and sodding done it. Well... one member of the over-tanned collective has. One of the few members of EXILE who bothers to contribute vocals to a track and has a good voice: the shades wearing Atsushi. The world could be blanketed in complete darkness and this man would still be caught wearing shades. He does not give a single fuck. He's like the Japanese Riddick.

"Aoi ryu" is a really nice song. I've sat in churches, called for Yevon, asked S voice and even hollered at Siri to ask what the hell happened to J-Winter ballads - as they seem to have diminished over the past 3 to 4 years. I'd like to be in-denial and think that the emergence of Atsushi's "Aoi ryu" and Namie's "Tsuki" is my doing
