I heard a few of their songs a while ago so I'm pondering if I should pick up an album of theirs or not.

I should warn you that their 1st 2 albums & 1st mini album DO NOT contain any singles & they only start releasing singles from July '08 onwards

if you want to get their albums with singles , consider getting BIG BANG ! or their latest album FIGHTERZ

if not , start with their 2nd album CRASH & BUILD which I really like seeing that I only skip 3 songs outta 11 tracks as compared to their self titled debut album

it's all up to you at the end of the day :)

Amrai-chan 24th January 2010 07:19 PM

Hmm okay thanks. :) That helps. I wonder why they didn't relase singles sooner. Oh well.

KarenPang 25th January 2010 01:20 AM

haha I don't know why so but yeah their 1st 2 albums & mini album tanked horribly on Oricon X____X

it's only July 2008 where they started to release singles prim & proper which shot their popularity up among 'other' things in the mix

even though their 1st 2 albums & mini album didn't contained any singles , some of the songs received PVs , in fact 5 of them are scattered within the 3 records

Amrai-chan 25th January 2010 05:34 AM

I guess singles really do help sales. That's good songs still got PV's. :) Those help too.

KarenPang 25th January 2010 08:30 AM

yeah for them to include singles in their 3rd album onwards's smart but I know other factors on why it contributed to their rise in popularity 2 years back

they were virtually nobodies 3 years ago when they were formed but I'm so happy that things really changed for them after they started to release their debut single onwards

it's not just the singles that helped them boost their popularity , it's due to 'other' things as well in the mix

Amrai-chan 25th January 2010 07:58 PM

Yeah, people finally noticed their music which is good (and their good looks. I can't believe they are in their 30s!)

KarenPang 26th January 2010 06:33 AM

AHAHAHAHA you're speaking my language xD :laugh

yes I can't believe it myself either D: & seriously , it's a crime to look so hot for them & everytime I see the 3 of them , they keeps getting younger except for Aki who's a total classic case of being an old fart xD

anyway I figure if not for the fact that DAIGO said about his true identity to the whole of Japan 2 years ago prior to his 30th birthday , the band frankly will still be struggling big time at this point in time :(

I know his reasons about this since he said before that politics & music do not go hand in hand together but I'm glad that they don't need to suffer/struggle anymore now

they have a few tour dates left in promoting their FIGHTERZ album & all except 1 have been sold out :D

Amrai-chan 27th January 2010 07:45 AM

:laugh haha Aki an old fart XD

and probably but it's cool that their tour is doing so well! :D

They have lots of goods don't they posts cards (I've seen you post them in the Asian collection thread) and I think I saw a notebook for them and a pen?

I joined the LJ community for them so hopefully it will be easier for me to keep up with what is going on with them.

KarenPang 27th January 2010 08:52 AM

:laugh

I'm serious when I said that Aki's an old fart . I mean he's the oldest in the group but he shouldn't behave like that X___X

If you read the blog entries that my french friend Nat translates of him , you will be really shocked on how deep he's in thought @_@

he's so different as compared to the way DAIGO & Shinpi blog where they're more informal

Then again that trait of Aki works really well when comes to songs that he wrote/composed & funny enough , most of my fave album tracks come from him & I'm not saying that I don't like the ones that DAIGO wrote/composed & that goes for Shinpi's compositions though

notebook , pen - ah those are exclusive goods you can get if you order/get FIGHTERZ in Japan in some CD shops , the others being a mousepad & a clearfile (which I have both LOL)

Those 4 goods were floating around Yahoo Japan Auctions & I had to fight quite hard to get them , especially the clearfile which's so *____*

yes they also have postcards that're included in the CD only editions of their Everlasting Luv / BAMBINO , Hikari & LOVE FIGHTER but there're many designs being randomly allocated

a few singles back , they have trading cards as 1st press items for Sekai wa Odoru / Shakunetsu , Angelic Smile / WINTER PARTY , all 4 editions of BIG BANG ! & most recently for the CD only edition of FIGHTERZ (not a 1st press item though)

& great that you have joined their Livejournal community <3 , you will be seeing a lot of updates from me & Nat on there

My livejournal username's minlilin if you want to know & Nat's in charge of posting translations of the guys's blogs which happens on a daily basis since usually DAIGO & Shinpi blog everyday

I LOVE the recent entries of DAIGO . I almost wanted to faint when he posted this pic on his Twitter account yesterday

http://i48.tinypic.com/o6m9zd.jpg

I needed water before I faint xD xD xD

you can read what's that all about @ http://community.livejournal.com/breakerz/146521.html which Nat translated

omg sorry if I talk so much on here @_@ . It's just that prior to you , I'm like the only person on here that knows a great deal about them

I want to share that to people but they're not interested sadly ;____; :weep

Amrai-chan 27th January 2010 12:56 PM

I see what you mean! Wow it really is different...

Some of Aki's blogs entries are poetic.

Ah so most of that stuff is CD bonuses.

I bet it cost a lot to get the clearfile (because their CDs are expensive and if the CDs are like that you know that limited things that may go with it are too when everyone tries to get it)

:) My LJ in in my sig. Your friend must be a big help especially if they blog almost everyday! That is a lot of translating!

It's good they blog a lot though.

DAIGO looks wow.

Wow.

Seriously, the blog says he dressed up for a meeting but how could anyone concentrate?!

Hehe it's okay!

I wonder where everyone went?

It's a shame because their music is nice!

I went and heard a few of their songs a while ago but didn't think much after that but then here I am. Like how you may hear someone and brush it off but then WOOSH!

About getting their CDs I think I'm going to get one from this person on eBay who I bought YUI's MY SHORT STORIES from. He's got crash and build for 15 dollars. On CD Japan it's expensive! That is due to their label I am sure.

KarenPang 27th January 2010 01:06 PM

the 1st time my friend Nat translated their blogs , I was stunned when I read Aki's blog entries & he blogs at the wee hours of the morning too D:

He's a self confessed insomatic which doesn't surprise me

their material's expensive in that it's all Japan press , being on an indie label ie. ZAIN RECORDS & the way that they market the guys is X____X

You imagine , their 1st 3 singles were released in 4 editions & their 3rd album BIG BANG ! was also released in 4 editions too , with 3 of them being limited with different goodies in the mix :thud

It's a pity that they're not under a major label as I would definitely save a lot if I have OS presses of their stuff X__X

yeah the clearfile cost a bomb to me & so are the other 'rubbish' that I got of them though Yahoo Japan Auctions

My middleman just mailed out 5 more posters of the guys yesterday :laugh & those also came as 1st press items . I should have gotten the 1st press of their singles last year on CDJapan but I only got the CD only for both editions of Angelic Smile / WINTER PARTY & GRAND FINALE as I wasn't really a huge fan of them that time

& yes Nat has been a really great big help :D . It's very hard to find info about them on the net other than DAIGO so with her doing this , I get to know what they're up on an almost daily basis which's great

yeah DAIGO looked *____________* yesterday . I suspect he went for a meeting conference to discuss his upcoming 1st stage play , Little Shop Of Horrors which will start in May & he's playing the lead role too

& seriously he can wear a bin bag & still looks great xD

well I don't know where the other people on here went , I think they're just not as interested / into them as much as I do & Nat haha but it's ok , I'm glad that there's at least someone on here I can talk to about the guys <3

KarenPang 28th January 2010 10:08 PM

my sweet Nat & I have started a project together in a mission to rip / upload HQ PVs & making offshot clips of the guys since it's very difficult to find decent quality & let alone DVD rip of their PVs

well I sent her 10 BRZ DVDs to her 2 weeks ago + which she will mail them back to me after she finished uploading/ripping everything & she got them on Wed (I have to do that whether I like it or not as I cannot play region code 2 DVDs on my laptop but she can since she lives in France :D )

& this's the 1st one that she has done aka a HQ version / DVD rip of the single version of Hikari & the making offshot clips

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2226448

the making offshot's hilarious with the epic fail opera version of Hikari :roflmao .

Too bad Aki didn't participated in it (not to mention he looked so O-san in there ;___; but oh my DAIGO's :smitten & this's probably the only time that I really like his gloves as it's very pretty & detailed unlike the ones he usually wear) & it's so short as compared to the silly version of Bokura that they did in their FIGHTERZ documentary xD

in their FIGHTERZ album , all 6 PVs are different damn you ZAIN RECORDS (like for GRAND FINALE & LOVE FIGHTER which the plots have been changed quite drastically from the single versions . GRAND FINALE's full of ♥ ♥ while LOVE FIGHTER's even more epic than the single version HAHAHA) but for not Hikari's case as only the beginning's longer so it's a minor edit

I love the Hikari PV on 1st sight when it was 1st released way back last July when it was out & the song's just :love

when I found out in due time what it's all about , I nearly was in an emotional state as the lyrics/melody's so beautiful :weep

this song was written/composed by DAIGO during the time when the guys were about to perform for the very 1st time in Nippon Budokan which was a dream come true for him

Hikari , alongside with GRAND FINALE meant a lot to the guys & DAIGO was almost on the verge of breaking down when they did this in the 2nd last encore in their 1st DVD BREAKERZ LIVE 2009 "WISH" in Nippon Budokan

bless him :( er I mean them LOL

anyway next PV that I have asked my sweet Nat to upload will be the single version of Shakunetsu

it looks cool when I saw it in my house's living room . There's no scenes from the Wanted movie (it was used to promote it in case you don't know lol) but in absence , you can see the setting's almost the same one as the forest setting in the Sekai wa Odoru PV

& they looke damn hot :laugh

Amrai-chan 29th January 2010 12:49 AM

Wow 5 posters? They must be all over your room lol

Oh I heard of him being in that play. I hear it's a good play.

XD You're right.

and maybe but I guess that means more BREAKERZ for us. XD

Awesome she's uplading the offshots and all. I'll go look.

"epic fail opera version of Hikari" it seems funny just reading that XD

KarenPang 29th January 2010 06:32 AM

actually there're 9 posters of the guys in my room now xD & yeah just the 2 of us to idolise BREAKERZ on AHS wheeee xD

2 of them are on my door after I kicked out ARASHI's MatsuJun & put him on the corridor now :laugh

LMAO yeah that's xD . DAIGO started doing it in the Hikari PV making offshot followed by Shinpi

Aki didn't participated in it T_T & I wish it was longer as it's so hilarious

yup Nat will be in charge of ripping/uploading DVD rips of their PVs & making offshot in days to come , I can't wait to see what's the next one she will upload/rip <3

anyway speaking of Nat

she has uploaded the scans of DAIGO in the latest Feb issue of Junon

http://community.livejournal.com/breakerz/149357.html

*______________*

xD at his DAIGER / DAIGA drawing . He said he renamed himself DAIGER / DAIGA this year because it's the year of the tiger -_-

http://i47.tinypic.com/25flljn.jpg

:thud :thud :thud

ugh so gorgeous dammit & he's going to be 32 this coming April 8th @_@ D:

I still think he's lying ;p . How can a 31 year old looks so hot O_O

The guys will be performing later today at a sold out gig at Zepp Sapporo , I think they will going to have a lot of fun as always :D

KarenPang 30th January 2010 02:06 AM

Scans - DAIGO in Emugura 3 magazine among other people in the mix

http://community.livejournal.com/wal...here/1498.html

those contain unseen pics from his DAIGOING L.A Photobook

OMG at those unseen pics *__________* . Why those are not included in his photobook T____________T ;_______;

but anyway , if those pics are the same ones that will be used in his 1st trading card collection , I will FAINT big time LMFAO

There's no way he's 31 lol

That is a lot of gorgeous DAIGO pictures.

and I wonder why those weren't added? Maybe it had something to do with time?

maybe & also probably not enough space ?

also he's releasing his 1st trading card collection in March & so far the preview pics that's uploaded on Amazon Japan & CDJapan , it's assumed that it will be pics taken during the time when he went to L.A to shoot his DAIGO FIRST PHOTOBOOK DAIGOING L.A photobook

so maybe , in the trading card collection (which has 147 pics but you only get 42 being randomly allocated to you) , it will contain those pics you see on http://community.livejournal.com/wal...here/1498.html :lech

anyway yeah , I'm still not convinced that he's 31 . He's going to be 32 on April 8th & this's 1 seriously hot frontman , period :laugh

he frankly looked terrible during his 20's , with multi coloured hairdo's & visual kei garb :dead2

he looked way much better when he hit 30 & above . It's like BANG :roflmao

have you seen/downloaded scans of his DAIGO FIRST PHOTOBOOK DAIGOING L.A photobook though ?

you can download them @ http://community.livejournal.com/breakerz/100546.html which I scanned/uploaded & yes prepare to start fialing over him 8D xD

Amrai-chan 31st January 2010 07:35 AM

*saves up money for March*

30 is the new 20? :laugh

and thanks for the link. He looks amazing.

HMV seems to have it still in stock. I've never ordered from them are they good? I hear they only use EMS for customers outside of Japan and that it is expensive.

KarenPang 31st January 2010 08:09 AM

yeah I guess you can say that 30's the new 20 <3

yes HMV Japan has a lot of stock surrounding his DAIGO FIRST PHOTOBOOK DAIGOING L.A photobook

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3645306

they're good . I used them a few times but I don't know how much shipping will be since it goes according to weight

I get things from them that I ordered within 2-3 days & they only have EMS as its shipping option

it's pricey but you get your things faster instead of slower unlike YesAsia :innocent

I got the photobook though Kinokuniya locally here & so was his DAIGO POP book a while back ago too xD

if you're talking about DAIGO's 1st trading card box set collection , CDJapan was taking preorders for it & an exclusive binder but preorders were closed on 19th Jan

I already preordered the trading card box set collection very early :laugh & I don't have any use for the binder xD
