So, briging the discussion here :)

Yeah, I also think Daigo is more suitable to be BREAKERZ's frontman ^^

Haha, well, I guess Akihide is better looking than Shinpei, and he composes more than him... I can see why people tend to like him the most, but I like Shinpei who composes a little, but I love all compositions, who has an interesting appearence, with the glasses and the short colorful hair, and who looks like a really fun person to know personally... Shinpei has gorwn on me since I first knew BREAKERZ and know I really like him a lot :D (Not more than Daigo though, but I guess I'm a bit Daigo biased as I knew him as a solo singer before knowing about BREAKERZ)

WOOOOAAAH, I knew about MUSCLE ATTACK, but I haven't listened to it yet! I LOVED IT, OMG!! :blove :blove :blove
This song is great!! (yeah, I already like it more than the Akihide's one you showed me before haha)
Shinpei's voice is very interesting... Not great, and not even close as good as Daigo's or Akihide's, but it kind of fits this style of music hahaha I like it :D


Anyway, I'll download Akihide's solo album, who knows, I might end up loving it :laugh

To be a frontman , you need someone that has charisma so I guess that's where DAIGO comes along & honestly when I finally went Tokyo last Dec to see them live , DAIGO was the last to come out & oh boy I almost melted into a puddle of goo when he came out XD XD XD

And yeah SHINPEI is very very under-rated in the group . I personally think he's really great & he in my opinion cares the most for the fans . I'm not saying the other 2 don't but he don't need to update his blog everyday but he still does , no matter how busy he gets

Also in reality I don't like SHINPEI's singing voice as much as the other 2 hahaha but somehow the style that MUSCLE ATTACK does is very Americanised for some reason o_O

Please let me know what you think of Amber since you've already downloaded it . Personally I love it <3

By right , the cover of ROCK AND READ 048 is not supposed to get released by ROCK AND READ themselves until this coming Mon .

But DAIGO being DAIGO ...

Holy moly I never seen DAIGO in this style before & it's just so ... bad ass wow . The hat he's wearing there is so interesting o__o

With that said , I can't wait to get ROCK AND READ 048 now since it will include a 30 paged writeup on DAIGO <3

Why can't 26th June be tomorrow D: D: D:

4th day chart performance for AKIHIDE's Amber

x->8->19->12->18

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2013-06-07/more/3/

Ah down again D: but at least Amber has been in the top 20 for the last 4 days so overall if this keeps up , Amber should be able to shoot for a top 20 position , weekly wise :3

Pics - AKIHIDE at TSUTAYA Shibuya (5th June 2013)

The official blog of TSUTAYA Shibuya uploaded 5 pics in which they took a few photos of AKIHIDE whom stopped by 4 days ago at their store :D

This display can be seen at both the 1st floor & 2nd floor inside TSUTAYA :D

Cute <3

http://ameblo.jp/shibuya-tsutaya/entry-11545379504.html

OMG, HE LOOKS SOOO GOOD IN THIS :blove:blove:blove (ok, let's face it, he always looks good xD)

Just downloaded Akihide's album, going to listen to it know! /o/

I know man lmao & such a shameless idiot whom tweeted the cover yesterday where by right it's supposed to get released tomorrow but HEY , not that I'm complaining XD

My Japan contact has already helped me to preorder ROCK AND READ 048 & I so can't wait to get it next month *____*

I've uploaded Amber via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118047 & I've been listening to it non stop from Fri til now <3

The last track in Amber ie. Hoshi no Oujisama is a self cover of NEVER LAND , a previous band that AKIHIDE fronted in 2004 before they disbanded in 2007

Hoshi no Oujisama is also 1 of many songs that sadly never saw the daylight in being put in a CD too ._. but better late than never :3

===

Staff member mi updated the staff blog 2 days ago in which mi wrote/talked about AKIHIDE's solo project in the form of Amber which finally got released on Wed

And just like what Tower Records Shibuya + Shinjuku & TSUTAYA Shibuya wrote/blogged/tweeted for the past few days , here're 2 more pics mi uploaded of AKIHIDE which he went to all 3 places within the same day (I think ?) to grace his presence & let alone left his mark , literally :p

This's not mentioned but this was taken at Tower Records Shibuya

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...I/5aef573b.jpg

Photography by right is not allowed but of course AKIHIDE's an exception x)

Both Tower Records Shibuya + Shinjuku are displaying different lyrics sleeves display from Amber from 4th June until tomorrow . For Shibuya , they're displaying the lyrics sleeves of Namida no Kawa & Itoshi no Valkyria (as seen above) while for Shinjuku , they're displaying the lyrics sleeves for Hoshi no Kyousoukyoku & Kuroneko no Tango .

At TSUTAYA Shibuya

AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 "Amber" concert goods list revealed !

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0II/090613.jpg

AKIHIDE's upcoming tour as a soloist ie. AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 "Amber" will be taking place next Sat / 15th June at Osaka's amHALL & today , the concert goods list for AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 "Amber" has been released via AKIHIDE's personal website !



omg pretty artistic much ? I frankly like all the concert goods for AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 "Amber" (≧▽≦) which definitely highlights just how much personal input AKIHIDE has in each of them which's his drawings :D

Man I have no idea which concert goods I should get xD they all look so good ;__; but most definitely I will get the ART CARD BOOK as it sounds awesome .

I think I will get some others too but not the T-shirt as I don't think the design's as good as last year's BREAKERZ TWINKLE PARTY 2012 AKIHIDE's Birthday ~Amanogawa no Shita ni Kimigaita~ :x

But then again can anyone say wow oh wow on them ? *_____*

Just listened to Amber. AKIHIDE really has a nice voice.
I like all the tracks, but my favorite definitely is Kumo no Ito. It makes me want to order the album just for that song, it's so amazing :heart

^ glad that you enjoy Amber , Aurelie & funny enough I feel that Kumo no Ito is 1 of the more weaker songs in the album

To me I feel the standout tracks are ironically the preview snippets that were included in the Amber documentary digest video clip (ie. Namida no Kawa , LION , Hello! Mr. Sadness + Hoshi no Oujisama) & also of course Hoshi no Kyousoukyoku but that's just me

I'm so glad AKIHIDE is finally back in front of the microphone to sing as it has been very long overdue for him to do this , big time . Hearing his singing voice again after 6 years makes things even more better for me to appreciate Amber a lot more :heart

5th day chart performance for AKIHIDE's Amber

x->8->19->12->18-> out of the top 30

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2013-06-08/

Ah well it was good when it lasted D: The upside is that Amber will overall chart much better than BREAKERZ's debut self titled album , which never even charted on Oricon in the 1st place D:

1 of those days that you love to hate DAIGO but in the end , you hate to love him :p

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...20II/zREuF.jpg

Caption included - 今日はヴァンガードのプロデューサー、嶋村さんこと嶋Pさんの結婚式に出席させていただきまし た！ 最高に素敵な結婚式でした！\(//∇//)\ これからもヴァンガりましょう！

http://p.twipple.jp/zREuF

Yesterday , DAIGO attended the wedding of Vanguard's producer (whose name is Shimamura) but still that above photo he uploaded is 1 of the more erm ... interesting photos he has uploaded in recent times :p

I wonder why DAIGO never took a full body shot of himself since he loves whoring himself but here & there , a bit of a change is good , yes ? xD

Also based on some tweets I've came across , seems that during the wedding , DAIGO premiered (or is it sang ?) the full version of Mugen ∞ REBIRTH which served as the CM song for his Cardfight!! Vanguard DAIGO Special Set card deck o_o

Which reminds me , what's taking so long for ZAIN RECORDS to announce details on his solo single ? D: D: I thought it was supposed to get released in mid July ?! D:

I uploaded & did up scans of the CD + DVD edition of AKIHIDE's Amber last Fri night

http://minlilin.livejournal.com/920667.html

I super duper love AKIHIDE's personal touches to what he did to the CD sleeves booklet , especially his drawings :heart

Ain't this guy a mad genius ? D:

Today , the official blog of ROCK AND READ has uploaded 2 photos of DAIGO which they're behind the scenes shots in line with the impending release of ROCK AND READ 048 , seeing that DAIGO is featured on the cover + a 30 paged writeup has been done on him .

According to what was written , today's blog entry via ROCK AND READ mentioned that the whole photoshoot for what they did with DAIGO took place last month in mid May at Tokyo , in a luxury suite of a hotel x)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ng/100613A.jpg

Frankly DAIGO doesn't look as good as AKIHIDE when comes to wearing hats but maybe after this , I will change my mind on it 8D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ng/100613B.jpg

*___* This's so ... typical ? idk xD

ROCK AND READ 048 is scheduled to get released on 26th June / Wed .

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...20II/Sgkpz.jpg

Still cannot get over just how hot DAIGO looks on the cover ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

Now's wait for Oricon to adjust the sales & chart ranking so that it will be known where Amber stands at overall on the weekly chart , 1st week wise :O

Asumin who's DAIGO's カンニングのDAI安吉日 ! colleague/co-host uploaded this photo of DAIGO with the other カンニングのDAI安吉日 ! personnel via her blog yesterday
