hopefully this doesn't scare you so much :laugh

recongised who's in the centre of the photo ?

it's hard to believe that it's the same person then & now D: D:

LOL DAIGO looks so gay! xD Thank God He looks more mature and normal now~

:laugh

he was 19 when he began his music journey in the industry & JZEIL was his 1st band

JZEIL was very glam & visual kei rock so that explained that crazy whacky getup he had . He had that going on in him initally when he was DAIGO STARDUST too

especially in The space toy , the pics in the CD sleeve are very scary/intimidating @_@

I can scan both The space toy & HELLO CRAZY GENTLEMAN & even his DAIGO STARDUST BEST if you want

just be prepared to see him in a different light & thank your lucky stars that you only know him NOW & not before LOL

I would love to see those xD I can't download them now though~

I still can't believe DAIGO looked so Visual Kei-ish before xD He's so different now

ok sure since you request so :)

& yes I can't believe DAIGO looked extremely different when he was younger D:

mind you , when I 1st came upon the guys's music some 2 years back , I had no idea what were their pasts like

it's only much later on when I dug up more info & dirt on them then I realised oh , how colourful their inital early days in the business were 8D

especially DAIGO , he has come a long way & it's quite something that as each time you sees him now , he's getting younger as time goes by @_@

I definitely won't recognize him on that CD cover K!!
He looks so different :thud
Btw, Shinpei looks reaaaallllyy cute on your siggy!

I'm still in the midst of scanning my DAIGO STARDUST albums & his best album

all I can say's that be prepared to get a shock or 2 when you look back on how DAIGO looked like before

he looked different , very very very different

the only thing that he looked great/normal/hot was for the promo pic taken for his final last solo single SUPERJOY

& LOL thanks Flo , SHINPEI looks so amusing I know xD

I'm prepared I think xD Thanks Karen~

:laugh

ok don't say I didn't warn you



@_@ :dead2

this was taken some 6 years ago when his 3rd solo single ROCK THE PLANET was released

& yes this's the terrible cringy prince stars like outfit I was talking about :tired

he designed it himself & he still has it at home can you believe it ? :thud

I want to burn it LOL

THAT'S SCARY and not in a good way...

lol yeah I told you so Cherry D:

to me the scariest pics are taken from his debut solo album The space toy . I had a rude shock or 2 when I saw the pics inside the CD sleeves

it's really freaky & scary @_@ & good thing there's a spoiler mode option LOL xD



This's found in the back sleeve of the album . I cropped it up

:dead2 :dead2 :dead2

that thing on him , it's a HUGE corsage

wtf man :thud , how can a normal person wear that to begin with ? D: D: D:

LOL He looks hot on the first 2 pics but the others are really weird.
DAIGO Microphone is not edible ok? xD

this's probably like the only pic of him when he was DAIGO☆STARDUST in that he looked super hot/good

:luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

this was taken to promote his 6th final solo single SUPERJOY

the PV for it is X___X but I really love the song . Too bad pretty much all of his solo material tanked BADLY on Oricon

what a pity cos his solo stuff's actually nice

Yeah he looks so cute and hot there~
Woah they all tanked at Oricon that sucks.

yeah it's unfortunate that all of his solo material tanked horribly

like I prefer HELLO CRAZY GENTLEMAN so much more than The space toy but it tanked at #258 (even though it was released in 4 different covers) while The space toy tanked at #160 X_X

singles wise

MARIA highest ranking - #64, charted for 2 weeks
永遠のスペースカウボーイ - highest ranking #70, charted for 2 weeks
ROCK THE PLANET - highest ranking #83, charted for one week
デイジー／SUMMER ROSE - highest ranking #84 charted for one week
SCAPEGOAT - highest ranking #174, charted for one week
SUPER JOY - highest ranking #130, charted for one week

I think I know why SCAPEGOAT performed the worst .... cos of the PV :tired :tired

ironically , his DAIGO STARDUST BEST compilation ranked the best outta everything he released . It peaked at #56 LOL

LOL xD At least most of the charted.

yeah but I never realised just how bad his charting performance were like for his singles & albums til much later on

BREAKERZ are no exception . When they were formed 3 years back , their early days were crap . Their 1st album never charted on Oricon D:

then again their 1st album wasn't really that great except for some songs LOL

things really got better for them 2 years ago when DAIGO finally made a big decision to tell the whole of Japan on who he really was & that opened a lot of doors for them soon after

I wasn't there when 'it' happened . I wished I would have seen 'it' happened since I came on after they released SUMMER PARTY / LAST EMOTION

cos I was already suspicious on how come their 1st 2 albums & mini album Ao no Mirai tanked horribly on Oricon & why suddenly from Ao no Mirai's peak position of #123 , they were able to zoom all the way straight to the top 10 with SUMMER PARTY / LAST EMOTION & from then onwards , every single & album releases of theirs charted in the top 10 of Oricon

not that I'm complaining because at least now , they don't need to worry about whether will their material tanked that sorta thing anymore

Who is he again? xD

LOLLLLLLLLLL

DAIGO told the whole of Japan 2 years back about his late grandpa

his late grandpa is a former prime minister of Japan . His name's Takeshita Noboru so you can imagine how much of a big impact this piece of news was , when it was announced by DAIGO personally

I assume that the late Takeshita Noboru was quite well liked in Japan but yeah that's the whole story in DAIGO telling Japan that he's Takeshita Noboru's grandson

Oh that xD I read that from his profile.
That ought to make people notice him xD
