musicJAPANplus - Does DAIGO change into a butterfly for his new single now?? New pictures up!

On 4th of December DAIGO will release his coupling single「BUTTERFLY / い ま逢いたくて...」and we were already able to look at his new artists pictures!

It seems like he is changing himself into a Butterfly in regards to his new song!

As the concept has been decided to be "Butterfly" this time, it was decided, that wings would be necessary as well. These wings have been created for him and since fit his figure just perfectly! They are 3 meter wide and 2 meter high as we were told!!!

DAIGO really wants a lot of fans to listen to this one as he is really self confident this time!

2nd Nov of Tensai ! Shimura Dobusten - new DAIGO x Izumo corner to be broadcast

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...TSDH281013.jpg

This coming Sat's episode of Tensai ! Shimura Dobusten will finally broadcast a brand new DAIGO x Izumo corner & this was supposed to happen last month on 28th Sept but for some reason , it was delayed quite considerably until now :

新シリーズスタート！！DAIGO＆いずもの旅

これまで路線バスで、日本縦断の旅をしてきたDAIGOとニホンザルのいずも。しかし、いずもはまだどんな 人とでも触れ合えるお猿さんになってはいなかった…

そこで、いずもがもっと人が大好きなお猿さんになるため、路線バスの旅で通らなかった所を、行き当たりばっ たりでいく新たな旅がスタート！今回は…宮崎県へ！！いったい、どんな旅になるのか！？

The last time Tensai ! Shimura Dobusten aired an episode featuring both DAIGO x Izumo was 3rd Aug . At that time , it was an 2 hours special which shown DAIGO finally reaching his goal destination with Izumo after 3 1/2 years & at that time , DAIGO thought it was really the time when he had to say goodbye to Izumo for good but Shimura Ken said so otherwise , towards the end of that episode .

And this time round with a brand new destination in mind (to Miyazaki Prefecture) , who knows what crazy things DAIGO will be up to once again with Izumo & as always , I can't really tell if not predict at times like this seriously ~_~
