Band

Formed in April 2007 , BREAKERZ is a J-rock trio that is made up of 3 gorgeous & extremely talented guys : frontman vocalist DAIGO & guitarists AKIHIDE and SHINPEI .

BREAKERZ started off as DAIGO and SHINPEI's project . Meeting through a mutual friend and various recording sessions , they worked together to make a demo . DAIGO is in charge of music and lyrics while SHINPEI is in charge of arrangements .

In the span of 1 month , they created 40 songs . Later on , they are joined by DAIGO's longtime friend who has worked many times with him in his band , songwriting , playing guitar and singing chorus . That is AKIHIDE & the 3 of them joined together to form BREAKERZ .

The origins of BREAKERZ's name means "wanting to destroy" or "destroying once & for all" & connects breaking through genres & barriers . The original band's name was first spelled with an S but it was later changed to Z adopting the letter from B'z , which SHINPEI's a massive big fan of the duo .

Incidentally , the band's name was derived even before SHINPEI joined .

BREAKERZ's goal was to be like the musicians that they admire/respect such as hyde & Himuro Kyosuke .

All arrangements are credited under BREAKERZ as so but it is the composer of the song who leads the arrangement , while the rest of the members fine tune the song while utilising their own ideas .

Their music can't be described in just one word . It's a fusion mix of AKIHIDE's UK rock guitar sounds & SHINPEI's American rock guitar sounds which're both combined with DAIGO's somewhat sexy lush seductive voice xD .

The band's historic debut is on 6 June 2007 with their first single WAKE UP MY SOUL / THE TRAIN's GONE ... became available on iTunes Japan .

BREAKERZ is signed by ZAIN Records , a member of the Being Giza Group .

The trio made their major debut with their self-titled debut album on July 25th 2007 . Their first live performance took place at SHIBUYA BOXX on August 5th 2007 . During live performances , the guys often wear prayer bead bracelets which were made by DAIGO's late maternal grandma .

BREAKERZ doesn't have a permanent bassist nor a drummer in their duty roaster , so they use various support members when comes to recording of their material & also in live performances too .

3) DAIGO's famously well known for his WISH rock pose . On why he use the word WISH , it's because it derives from the word Wissu which's like a greeting that school students used , kind of like the Japanese version of the word 'hi'

He's also good friends with Anna Tsuchiya , SID's lead singer/frontman Mao , GACKT & abingdon boys school's lead singer/frontman Takanori Nishikawa aka T.M.Revolution

9) Aside from WISH , in 2010 , DAIGO coined a lingo called Kuraimu (pronounced as Climb) .

After DAIGO officially joined Twitter , 2 more set of words that he coined up has entered his dictionary in the form of Retwish (DAIGO's version of retweet) & Twishing (tweet + wish)

10 RANDOM FACTS ON SHINPEI

1) SHINPEI is the youngest in the group

2) SHINPEI's the only one so far in BREAKERZ that has not written lyrics for their discography as he tends to lean on the composing side of things at this point in time

3) SHINPEI has 13 guitars , in which 6 of them which are used to write songs at home & the rest are used for recording the group's material

Now that SHINPEI has purchased a brand new Sugi SH485 , the number has since been changed to 14 guitars

4) His given name means "modest peace" (It was in order for him to become a modest & peaceful person . So his parents named him like so)

5) He's in B'z fanclub even though a lot of times during MC sessions , DAIGO said SHINPEI's not lol

6) SHINPEI always is if not the butt of jokes during their offshot clips , no thanks to DAIGO's antics & also sometimes AKIHIDE too :O

7) He's the proud uncle of a beautiful niece whose nickname is BOSS-chan & in 2010 , a nephew whose nickname is Agubi-kun . Sometimes he talks about them on his blog :)

http://i53.tinypic.com/2jdjk9c.jpg

8) his special skills include weight training and eating curry

9) SHINPEI's nickname is Shinpi & his catch phrase is using the word 'muscle' on his blog even though in real life , he surprisingly doesn't use it verbally

10) SHINPEI had a dog which's called Chappy . Chappy was a Pomeranian & it was born on 24th Feb 2010

http://i45.tinypic.com/2rzdteo.png

The origin of Chappy's name was due to the fact that SHINPEI raised a light brown puppy , since light brown means Chairoi in Japanese

Just like BOSS-chan & Agubi-kun , SHINPEI talked about Chappy a fair bit on his blog but sadly in early May 2013 , Chappy passed away from an accident as what SHINPEI wrote on his blog . RIP Chappy :(

Trick or treat ? xD

KarenPang 1st October 2013 04:14 PM

Today , the guys's official YouTube site uploaded this really cool video clip of AKIHIDE in which he played the full version of a song titled Battle .

Battle is found as track #10 in Lapis Lazuli & in the clip , AKIHIDE is accompanied by Akira Kawasaki who's the drummer of mouse on the keys [http://mouseonthekeys.net/] :



Wow look at both AKIHIDE & Akira compliment each other in the clip :O + I think it's quite ridiculous on the way AKIHIDE played his acoustic guitar which really blowed me away big time , especially towards the tail end of the clip which's quite insane o_o

Song wise , I think Battle sounds really good & AKIHIDE is wearing the same outfit as what he wore in the limited edition cover of Lapis Lazuli which makes him look very handsome <3

And since today's update via AKIHIDE's personal site is tagged as AKIHIDE × ○○” ムービー企画START!第一弾 “AKIHIDE × Drum”「Battle」公開 , I have a feeling there could be more clips of AKIHIDE playing a few more songs from Lapis Lazuli + being tagged teamed with other musicians from other bands :)

In the latest episode of Shin Domoto Kyoudai , DAIGO said that he's 1 of the rare few that doesn't mind to get noticed on the streets as usually celebrities prefers otherwise in order to have privacy

funny that on some occasions where DAIGO purposely disguise himself , nobody recognises him which's so ironic LOL

But it further proves just how ridiculously shameless DAIGO is so ~_~ :P

DAIGO's Historical Spacey Hug meeting is currently taking place in Tokyo & already based on a few fan tweets floating around on Twitter , they mentioned DAIGO will be releasing his 2nd solo single on 4th Dec !

Quote:

スタッフ「時間の都合上、DAIGOさんのあのー、『スペイシー』という掛け声、こちら割愛させていただき ます」

シングル12月4日!

ハグの方はしっかりさせていただきますので!くっついて離れないというのはやめてください!…だそうです( 笑)

Honestly I was hoping for an album but a new single is also equally good & I guess this was the reason on why DAIGO was doing shooting for almost close to 10 hours on Thurs ? x.x

Since this information just came in , please take this with a pinch of salt for now

DAIGO's Historical Spacey Hug meeting took place today in Tokyo & the last time a Spacey Hug meeting took place was 7 years ago , during the time when DAIGO was still known as DAIGO☆STARDUST .

Also LOL at the design of the Spacey HUG Me? T-shirt DAIGO wore which's quite embarrassing =__=''' but at least he looked cute :P

And some contacts of mine whom I personally know in the BREAKERZ fandom went & attended today's Historical Spacey Hug meeting at Tokyo in which 1 of them hugged DAIGO 3 times with her saying that he smelt really good , post hug effects wise heh 8D

DAIGO will release his 2nd solo single BUTTERFLY / Ima Aitakute … on 4th Dec

2 posts back , I posted/wrote on unofficial news that DAIGO will release his 2nd solo single on 4th Dec as this was coming from fan tweets that were floating around on Twitter as they caught 1st hand information on this at the Historical Spacey Hug meeting that took place yesterday in Tokyo .

And now , the news has already been officially announced on DAIGO's official site & turns out it's yet another double A-side single release just like Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen ∞REBIRTH :D

Quote:

DAIGO New Single「BUTTERFLY/いま逢いたくて…」リリース決定

2013.12.4 Release
「BUTTERFLY/いま逢いたくて…」

※その他詳細は追ってお知らせ致します。

More details on BUTTERFLY / Ima Aitakute … will be announced in due time , such as the writing/composing credits of the single , the no. of editions BUTTERFLY / Ima Aitakute … will get released & etc .

And to think this morning I was lamenting DAIGO should release another double A-side single , hahahaha but eee yeah I'm so excited & I think it's going to be a no brainer that Ima Aitakute … will be a ballad but I'm intrigued to find out how BUTTERFLY will be like in due time :D

Funny that even though BREAKERZ are currently in solo mode , each of them are still able to spoil me individually & then some xD

adantatu2 5th October 2013 10:56 PM

Nice to hear news about a new single !!!
I wonder if he's going to release one of them to the card's game

KarenPang 6th October 2013 03:52 AM

Right now it's hard to say if DAIGO's upcoming new single will have any Cardfight Vanguard !! related tie in or not but you never know

But what I do know is that either 1 of the PVs might include DAIGO MOBILE members in it as sometime back , they put a notice on the website asking for fans to participate in shooting of a PV of his , just like what the guys did for CLIMBER x CLIMBER [that have team brz members in it]

So yeah ...

DAIGO has an event that will be taking place later on today at 2pm Japan time

Purchase of either the CD only regular and/or CD only limited editions of Lapis Lazuli from different buying online channels will led buyers to receive posters of AKIHIDE .

There will be 2 types of posters given away , Type A & Type B .

Type A :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._poster_01.jpg

ONLY available via :

Tower Records
Tower Records ONLINE

Type B :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._poster_02.jpg

Available via :

HMV  
TSUTAYA RECORDS (Some stores might not give away the poster) 
Shinseido (Some stores might not give away the poster)
WonderGOO (Some stores might not give away the poster)
Musing

Ugh it's like what happened to Amber except that this time round for Lapis Lazuli , the CD shop benefit item/s is/are posters -_- but I wouldn't lie that AKIHIDE looks really good in the Type A poster *__*

And once again , CDJapan is not listed in the poster giveaway & there're many other stores listed for the giveaway of the Type B poster which I did not include them here .

Honestly I prefer postcards as compared to posters as I basically have no more wall space in my room so much as I like the Type A poster , I don't think I will be ordering it via Tower Records this time round haha , sorry AKIHIDE no hard feelings xD

And since I will be getting 2 Type B posters as I preordered my copies via HMV , I will be giving them away to people in the BREAKERZ fandom as I frankly don't like the Type B poster that much :x

DAIGO went for Golden Bomber's concert today for the very 1st time & in this photo that he uploaded via Twitter , he posed with the bassist of Golden Bomber , Utahiroba Jun (or Ubajun as he's more known as)

And uh I guess the leopard printed jacket Ubajun wore in this photo was something he stole from DAIGO's personal closet ? xD

Funny that DAIGO looks strangely surprisingly normal while posing together with Ubajun hahahaha

New / 2nd promo picture of AKIHIDE in Lapis Lazuli mode

Holy moly *w*

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...20II/LLPP2.jpg

http://akihide.com/pc/#profile

Black & white photos never go wrong + I love the fact that this photo is the same picture used of AKIHIDE as the special Type A poster

In which I have no plans to get the Type A poster via Tower Records online as I have no more wall space in my room so this will do nicely xD

KarenPang 9th October 2013 12:34 PM

Today , the guys's official YouTube site uploaded this video clip of AKIHIDE in which he played the full version of a song titled Rain .

Rain is found as track #8 in Lapis Lazuli & in the clip , AKIHIDE is accompanied by a cellist who goes by the name Harutoshi Ito :



Compared to Battle (which AKIHIDE was accompanied by mouse on the keys drummer Akira Kawasaki) , Rain is a lot more mellower/slower sounding which's not necessary a bad thing .

I suppose since I've overplayed Battle quite a fair bit , I'm not liking Rain as much as I'm hoping for the time being but hopefully all that will change in due time :3

There will be 4 more 'surprises' that will be revealed in due time on the special site of Lapis Lazuli & hopefully there will be even more clips of AKIHIDE being accompanied by other musicians in this aspect :)

AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” will not begin until 15th Nov at Osaka's Music Club JANUS . Despite this , 1 more tour date has been added to the tour schedule as announced today via AKIHIDE's personal site :D

Due to fans's demand , 1 more tour date has been added , which will take place at Tokyo on Dec .

The new tour date is denoted in bold :

15/11 (Fri) Osaka @ Music Club JANUS
16/11 (Sat) Nagoya @ Blue Note

Unlike the original organised 4 tour dates for AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” , this newly added date is the only 1 that will be held in Dec .

Let alone , it only has 1 performance time schedule as compared to the 4 Nov dates which AKIHIDE will be performing twice in each day respectively .

HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs- is the only new PV available in the reissued edition of HALLOWEEN PARTY , alongside with HALLOWEEN PARTY PV MAKING which both clips serve as new footages in the DVD .

The reissued edition of HALLOWEEN PARTY will be out next week on 16th Oct & Vamprose which's the official YouTube of Vamps uploaded two different PV 15 seconds snippets of HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs- :

1st trailer :



2nd trailer :



Honestly , the trailers for HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs- are cute but I personaly prefer the original HALLOWEEN PARTY PV by a long shot as it's not the same without HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA participating/recording/shooting the PV in the very 1st place .

Funny that The HYDEs in the backdrop of the PV preview reminded me of MAN WITH A MISSION somewhat which I don't know if that's a good or bad thing o_O

Anyway since I didn't preorder the re-issued edition of HALLOWEEN PARTY , I don't think I will be missing out anything exciting as I think it's quite pointless for hyde to sing a solo version of HALLOWEEN PARTY & let alone to make a PV for this to accompany it :x

KarenPang 12th October 2013 12:03 AM

DAIGO will be taking part in HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 in which the 5 days event will be held this month on 19th , 20th , 25th , 26th & 27th Oct .

19th & 20th Oct dates will be held at Kobe World Memorial Hall (Hyogo) while 25th - 27th Oct dates will be held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 9~11 Hall (Chiba) .

And last night via DAIGO's official site , they have announced solo DAIGO / HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 concert goods , inclusive of 1 rather unexpected item !

Spoiler:


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

Those solo DAIGO / HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 concert goods are awesome & so very much pimped out , Halloween style !

Even DAIGO's solo logo has got pimped out [that goes for his Kumapanda logo too xD] & the result is quite creepy in a way in keeping up with the Halloween atmosphere/vibe x)

And the unexpected item in the concert goods list is definitely DAIGO's 2014 calendar because this time round , unlike his past calendars , DAIGO 2014 calendar is only available for sale in live events (such as HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013) & prior to this , preorders that were only accepted via DAIGO MOBILE .

Should I known earlier about this , I would have asked my friend's friends to help me order it when DAIGO MOBILE was taking preorders on the calendar but at least upon seeing DAIGO's 2014 calendar in the list , at least there's hope as the pictures in DAIGO's new calendar are generally great + of course the cover speaks for itself ;D 8D

Halloween concert goods wise , I'm still pondering which one/s to get , probably the can mirror set ? Doubt that I will get the skeleton gloves but I would love to see DAIGO wear it personally on HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 itself xD

As uploaded on the official YouTube site of VAMPS :



The visual aspect of the PV snippet of HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs- is cute & entertaining but song wise , I definitely prefer the version sung/done by HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA by a long shot .

Sorry hyde but HALLOWEEN PARTY just doesn't sound the same without HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA in the house :p

1st day chart performance of HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA's (reissue) HALLOWEEN PARTY

The reissue of HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA's HALLOWEEN PARTY debuted at #8 on the 1st day of release :

x->8

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2013-10-15/more/2/

Considering this's a reissue single , I'm not expecting this time round it will sell/chart as well as the original version of HALLOWEEN PARTY but who knows maybe the impending HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 will be able to help keep the single afloat on Oricon within the next 2 weeks or so :O

Just that I feel hyde should seriously stop re-releasing material as it reflects just how ... lazy he's :x

Full PV of HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs-

http://vk.com/video97761242_166330200

Honestly speaking , the full PV of HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDE- is cute with it being an animated video but song wise , I feel that it's quite boring if not rather dull sounding :x

The version sung by HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA is just so much more fun if not more entertaining than hyde's solo version .

Let alone the parts where hyde sang to replace HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA's singing parts , to me it frankly doesn't sound like him in HALLOWEEN PARTY -feat. HYDEs- .

Anyway it's my own personal preference/opinion seeing that this time round , I didn't buy the reissue of HALLOWEEN PARTY as I've already bought the CD + DVD limited edition last year & from the look of things , I don't think I'm missing out on anything by not buying the reissue of the single so ...

Lol wow & I thought the list was long but it's quite insane more people has been added to all the 5 dates's performers lineup o_o

And among the newly added to the list , I know who Leda is seeing that he's the backup guitarist for DAIGO in the PV of Mugen ∞REBIRTH .

Not to mention , Leda also opened/played for both sold out concerts of DAIGO☆STARDUST that took place in July . Heck , even Leda tweeted about this earlier on which he sounded excited on this :

DAIGO looks gorgeous , then again since when he's not ? ♥

Also I find it quite amusing that DAIGO looks somewhat more smarter (if not less ditzy) when he wear glasses , does this apply to him only or something ? *muses

Usually I will focus on what SHINPEI wears but just like what he said in the caption of this photo he uploaded , I couldn't help but noticed the red carpet that was laid out in the recording studio he was in .

Like how often this happens ? probably really rare so I guess that's probably why SHINPEI decided to focus on that , instead of his outfit which by the way he looks smartly casually dressed :)

HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 has finally kicked off this weekend with today being the 1st of 5 days of the event & that it's 1 of 4 sold out dates .

And here's DAIGO's solo setlist at today's day 1 of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 which took place at Hyogo's Kobe World Memorial Hall (likewise for tomorrow's day 2 of the event) :

1) MARIA (DAIGO☆STARDUST)
2) 無限∞REBIRTH ; Mugen∞REBIRTH
3) いつも抱きしめて ; Itsumo Dakishimete
4) SUMMER PARTY (BREAKERZ)

https://twitter.com/brz_abcD5xE/stat...45446692159488

I'm not that surprised DAIGO did/performed his debut solo single but what surprised me that he kicked off his set with DAIGO☆STARDUST's MARIA which I think is great & of course , BREAKERZ's SUMMER PARTY is still & forever a classic even up to now <3

And DAIGO's choice of costume outfit is supposedly this ...

仮装→進撃の巨人

ahahaha omg xD & my sister said if her assumption's correct , DAIGO supposedly wore an outfit that's related to the Shingeki no Kyojin anime which's very o_O o_O o_O

That said , Day 2 of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 will take place tomorrow at the same time & same venue once more . Waiting in anticipation to see DAIGO's costume outfit soon xD

KarenPang 20th October 2013 02:40 AM

On Fri , the guys's official YouTube site uploaded this video clip of AKIHIDE in which he played a longer version of a song titled Home .

Home is found as track #7 in Lapis Lazuli & in the clip , it's tagged as AKIHIDE × AKIHIDE × AKIHIDE because it features 3 different shots/angles of AKIHIDE playing his guitar but at different time intervals which're all done together at the same time o_o :



It's quite amusing to see 3 different AKIHIDEs at the same time in the Home clip xD & I don't think this's the full version of Home but at least it's a much longer preview as compared to what was 1st originally uploaded on his personal site .

But from there , it sounds quite promising & very chilled out . Somehow I think the version that will be included in Lapis Lazuli will be longer ... hopefully :3

AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” will not begin until 15th Nov at Osaka's Music Club JANUS . Despite this , the concert goods list for AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” has been released via Musing today .

And this time round , for a change , Musing has decided to step in & take preorders of AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert goods from Fri at 6pm Japan time until 31st Oct (Thu) ; 11.59pm Japan time onwards .

「AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli”」ライブグッズ先行販売が決定しました!
期間中ご予約頂きますと、11月15日に開催される大阪公演までにお届けいたします。

【先行予約受付期間】2013年10月18日(金)18:00~2013年10月31日(木) 23:59
※ご注文商品は11月7日より順次発送予定です。発送後に自動送信されます発送完了メールをご確認の上お受 け取りにはご注意いただきますようお願いします。
※先行販売商品は、数に限りがございます。売り切れの際はご了承ください。
※ライブ会場で販売する商品のうち、一部商品の先行販売となります。

All preordered AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert goods will be shipped to buyers from 7th Nov onwards , which's about a full week before the 1st AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert date will take place next month at Osaka's Music Club JANUS on 15th Nov .

In addition , early preorders for AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert goods will entitle each buyer to get a cute customised AKIHIDE shopping bag while stocks last :

Spoiler:


http://musing.jp/shop/akihide_goods/

Ok wow that's quite an unexpected move from both ZAIN RECORDS & Musing o_o and I have a feeling it might be due to fans's complaints in not being able to get certain concert goods from AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 "Amber" , if not they would not have restored to this .

That said , wow oh wow the AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert goods are awesome & it's a bit unfortunate this time round there's no pamphlet if not postcard set but the stand out item/s are definitely both the necklaces (be it whether in Lapis or Sky blue colours) as both necklaces are so versatile in usage !

KarenPang 20th October 2013 11:21 AM

Oh AKIHIDE you've done it again xD and this time round , there's a 2nd 'secret' video clip of AKIHIDE that's found within the special sub website of Lapis Lazuli .

So where's the 2nd 'secret' video clip that's within the website ?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...I/LL191013.jpg

Just click on the butterfly icon on the website which will bring you to this :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0II/191013.jpg

Which's a 1 minute video clip of AKIHIDE playing guitar while sitting down inside a forest (kind of like Sekai wa Odoru inspired) , how cool's this ?

I don't know what song AKIHIDE played in the clip but who knew AKIHIDE has done this again ? And I was quite suspicious on the inclusion of the butterfly icon as it wasn't present on the special sub website of Lapis Lazuli in the beginning until on Fri x)

Who says curiosity doesn't kill the cat ? 8D

And DAIGO's choice of costume outfit last night is this ...

仮装→あまちゃん

Ahahahaha , DAIGO cosplayed as Amachan xD in which it's 1 of many dramas that DAIGO has been talking so much about in recent times .

And during last month's DAIGO P , DAIGO kept on going jejeje non stop , so much so that he requested all Nico Video users to spam that tag phrase until the end of the show -_-

So far DAIGO hasn't posted any photos of both his HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 costumes yet but I have a feeling he will reveal them soon 8D

Days 3-5 of HALLOWEEN PARTY will take place this coming Fri - this weekend , with the last 3 dates be held at Chiba's Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 9~11 Hall .

Last weekend's HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 took place at Hyogo's Kobe World Memorial Hall in which both dates were sold out .

Day 1 / 19th Oct :

DAIGO cosplayed as a character from the anime Shingeki no Kyojin :

And SHINPEI looks the best naturally ;D Also it's amusing that HIDEHIRO looked as though his hair got electrocuted LOL

3rd 'secret' video clip of AKIHIDE found within the special sub website of Lapis Lazuli

Oh AKIHIDE you've done it once again xD and this time round , there's a 3rd 'secret' video clip of AKIHIDE that's found within the special sub website of Lapis Lazuli .

So where's the 3rd 'secret' video clip that's within the website ?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...II/221013A.jpg

Just click on the musician with the seated guitarist wearing hat icon at the bottom of the website which will bring you to this :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...II/221013B.jpg

Which's a 55 seconds video clip of AKIHIDE playing guitar while sitting down in the grass field (kind of like Overwrite inspired) , how cool's this ?

I don't know what song AKIHIDE played in the clip but who knew AKIHIDE has done this again for the 3rd time straight in a row ?

And to think I was looking at the special sub website of Lapis Lazuli rather somewhat innocently & randomly my mouse clicked/pointed to that particular new icon on the website just now x)

Who says curiosity doesn't kill the cat yet again ? 8D

The above photo was uploaded by DAIGO on Twitter after Shiawase! Bonbi Girl was aired as last night's episode of the show , featured DAIGO in France's Paris as he went to France 2 monts ago to do shooting for it + his eldest sister Eiki Eiki even tagged along with him too .

And Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile serves as the backdrop of the photo with it being 1 of the most famous monuments in Paris .

And is it just me or the 1st thing I noticed in the photo was DAIGO's snakeskin inspired like shoes ? o_O

NINKI index for AKIHIDE's Lapis Lazuli

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../O251013LJ.jpg

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/na/w/2013-10-25/

Nice to see Lapis Lazuli being listed on the NINKI even though most if not all the time , this's not 100% accurate since the NINKI are based on the results of a poll conducted by Oricon indicating interest in an upcoming release .

Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales , it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public . However, they are not an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week .

I'm rooting for the best in Lapis Lazuli to do well & since next week's album releases are generally quite quiet , I hope it's able to shoot for at most a Top 20 position , just like what Amber was able to attain .

That said , I can't wait to get my copies of Lapis Lazuli real soon & I'm sure it's going to be something different for me to enjoy :D

KarenPang 26th October 2013 08:25 AM

Last night , the guys's official YouTube site uploaded this video clip of AKIHIDE in which he played a longer version of a song that shares the same title as the album .

Lapis Lazuli (the song) is found as track #2 in Lapis Lazuli (the album) & in the clip , it's tagged as AKIHIDE×8 because it features 8 different shots/angles of AKIHIDE playing his guitar but at different time intervals which're all done together at the same time o_o :



I thought seeing 3 different AKIHIDE's in the video clip of Home was crazy but I didn't expect this time round , to see 8 different AKIHIDE's in the video clip of Lapis Lazuli , that's really pushing things through the roof in an artistic manner .

There's quite a lot of things going in the clip & somewhat towards the end , it turns out to be quite rather comical which I couldn't help but laugh xD
Especially when AKIHIDE was personally using the AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” mug himself & it's quite funny . Who knew AKIHIDE actually has a great sense of humour haha

Song wise , this longer version of Lapis Lazuli (the song) is great as I've already liked the preview which I 1st heard being uploaded on AKHIDE's personal site so I'm sure the full version that will be included in the album will be great !

And since Lapis Lazuli (the album) will be finally released next Wed , I think it's safe to say this will be the last video clip that will be uploaded on the guys's official YouTube , Lapis Lazuli promo wise :3

Last night at Day 4 of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 , DAIGO cosplayed as a character from the anime Shingeki no Kyojin for the 2nd time (the 1st being Day 1 / 19th Oct) of the event & my oh my , he looks super bad ass in all 3 selfies he uploaded <3

I personally don't watch the Shingeki no Kyojin anime but my sister does so she knows why DAIGO is standing besides a trio of people that looked like living corpses so yeah D: :x

And that last photo is supposedly the way Eren killed a titan in the anime which's cutting its head off :dead2

Now's to wait for DAIGO to upload selfies of him cosplaying as Amachan 8D

[Day 5 / 27th Oct] DAIGO's solo setlist at HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013

The final day / Day 5 of HALLOWEEN PARTY took place last night at Chiba's Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 9~11 Hall with last night being the last day of the event + it was sold out .

And here's DAIGO's solo setlist at last night's Day 5 of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 :

1) 無限∞REBIRTH ; Mugen∞REBIRTH
2) 永遠のスペースカウボーイ ; Eien no Space Cowboy (DAIGO☆STARDUST)
3) BUTTERFLY
4) SUMMER PARTY (BREAKERZ)

https://twitter.com/spank_yuu/status/394447795974717441

Wow DAIGO sang DAIGO☆STARDUST's Eien no Space Cowboy last night + let alone , he also sang/premiered his brand new song BUTTERFLY which will be released on 6th Dec , alongside with Ima Aitakute … .

And perhaps no surprises , DAIGO cosplayed as a butterfly onstage last night xD & based on some screencaps I've already seen , DAIGO's costume reminded me of a cross between on what he wore as DAIGO☆STARDUST in MARIA mode with wings xD xD xD

That said , it's finally a wrap for HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 & good thing there was no typhoon in spoiling the mood/atmosphere :)

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL DAIGO xD

And this was taken on Sun night at the final date of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 & for once , DAIGO didn't cosplayed as Shingeki no Kyojin anime or in Amachan mode .

Instead on Sun night , DAIGO cosplayed as Johnny Depp's The Lone Ranger which kind of makes sense somewhat as sometime back when Johnny Depp came to Tokyo to promote his movie The Lone Ranger , DAIGO personally interviewed Johnny which that particular episode was aired during Kaiyou Surprise .

Besides DAIGO , is Golden Bomber's drummer Darvish Kenjin whom cosplayed as the UFO King , ROFL xD

I think both of them managed to coodinrate themselves well , face masks wise xD xD xD

Wow oh wow , outlandish much ? xD So much for thinking that DAIGO☆STARDUST has left for good but nope :p

And the butterfly wings are the real deal & not photoshopped seeing that DAIGO wore/premiered BUTTERFLY last Sun night at the final day of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 but anyway , covers for BUTTERFLY / Ima Aitakute ... are super bold if not more daring than Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen ∞REBIRTH which I feel his debut single covers were a bit too safe for my liking .

Bigger covers for all 3 editions of BUTTERFLY / Ima Aitakute ... have been uploaded via DAIGO MOBILE

Very intrigued on how BUTTERFLY will be like , be it song or PV wise .... too bad DAIGO didn't shot any new pictures/concept for Ima Aitakute ... :x
