Those of you who've been around for a while might remember last year's Lucky Man Challenge, where we voted on which Arashi concert is best based on the performance of "Lucky Man" alone. This time I wanted to give it a try with "Fight Song", one of my personal favorites and, according to listeners of Jun's radio show, fans' second favorite coupling song, after "Still..."
Based on Nino's original composition, with lyrics put together by Arashi, in concert this song ends up being the one where they do the least singing and the most messing around. And who doesn't love Arashi messing around?
Below the cut you'll find every officially recorded performance of "Fight Song", with all of the antics and tomfoolery intact. If you've got 27 minutes, give them a listen -- and more importantly a look-see -- and help decide which version comes out on top!

The motivating lyric aside, the memories of their CxDxG no Arashi aside...
This is one song which we can clearly hear their raw voices, off-tune or not. And be very amazed by their ability to stay mostly in-tune despite having to jump around like that!
My rank is -
2007: Time in Dome
The start of a series of crazy jankenpon challenges.
Ohno on a one-leg hop after he won the janken!
Jun being bullied by his fellow members after losing the Janken!
Jun's dorky "It's ok to show your weakness si--There's no way I'll show that!"
2009: 5x10 in Kokuritsu on 30 Aug
Trust Arashi to make full use of that day's rain and play the water slide! Naturally baka-Arashi having fun naturally is just so heartwarming.
2007: Time in Yokohama
Nino's "itai itai itai" <3
And Sho's scared face. MUAHAHHA
The pair actions. =)
2008: AAA in Kokuritsu
Ohno in water~
2010: Scene in Kokuritsu
HAHA! Arashi being totally random, speaking out lines, and Sho going "Summer Splash!"
2011: Scene in Fukuoka
Nothing much of a highlight, but just very touching to see them still performing this during concerts, so many years on...it's became like another A.RA.SHI song.
2009: 5x10 in Kokuritsu
A rare full song performance, with a whole lot of tension thrown in!
2006: AAA Taipei
Singing the full song! How rare is that?!
2007: AAA in Dome
Nothing must of a highlight.
