[BREAKERZ] 18th thread ~ Hiatus + guitarist AKIHIDE's 2nd album Lapis Lazuli (30.10)

[Utena]

so basically, what's different with this re-release? I don't quite see the point lol

[KarenPang]

I think basically everything's the same , just that hyde includes a hyde version of HALLOWEEN PARTY this time round , be it on the CD and/or the DVD

I could be wrong but I think for the re-release , everything's the same as last year , just that they included a hyde version of the main A-side & maybe it will just him appearing in a solo version for the PV + also including a making of the PV too

So yup it's like L'Arc~en~Ciel re-releasing Hurry Xmas 4 times in a row except this's the Halloween version since Halloween is coming up real soon

No wonder Aurelie feels so disappointed in this :x

[adantatu2]

Maybe they're going to change the cover too.

[KarenPang]

Will not surprise me if hyde plans to reuse the same cover as last year -_-

I know for the reissues of Larc's Hurry Xmas they just changed the colour schemes and kept the deer motiff intact which's so lame ~_~

Well only time will tell I guess :-/

[pimenta]

So it's really a re-release of HALLOWEEN PARTY? Meh... it's been a year, why not releasing a new song? The only new thing is Hyde's solo ver. of the same song (Ok, I really like Hyde, but this release is pointless)


Oh, kumapanda stuff are sooo cute! ♥ And DAIGO wearing is even cuter

Have to agree with you on this 1 . I really like HALLOWEEN PARTY & I even bought the CD + DVD limited edition of the single last year but I'm not going to do that this time round

I thought at most it will be an updated version but something tells me it will not be the case & I'm not so keen in hearing a solo hyde version of HALLOWEEN PARTY either

If not why bother to get so many great artistes to collaborate on the song in the 1st place ?

Strictly for die hard hyde fans only to buy this

Oh, kumapanda stuff are sooo cute! ♥ And DAIGO wearing is even cuter

Ah yeah it's so cute & Kumapanda is trademarked believe it or not . It's an original design that DAIGO came up with himself !

And here're 2 pics of Kumapanda merch xD

small purple charm



large purple charm



My vote is on the small purple charm but both are equally cute !

Me too, I also have the limited edition released last year, it was a great collaboration, but this re-release one just isn't worth buying
It could at least have more versions, like a version with a duet of Yasu and DAIGO (I would reeeally like that ), and another version with Kanon, Tommy heavenly6/february6 and Anna Tsuchiya, and so on, then it would be interesting, but Hyde is just petty much using this whole collaboration thing just to release a solo song of himself, so, yeah, I don't feel like buying it (I don't collect Hyde's CDs)...

Its really cute! I feel like buying that Patch Kumapanda, though I'm sure I won't wear it

[KarenPang]

It's the same thing as what he did for L'arc's Hurry Xmas where it got re-released 3 times which's really silly

Just because of cashing/milking in for all its worth

It will be amusing should the cover for this year's re-release single will be the same as last year -_-

YouTube streaming - DAIGO in Gokigenyou+ 2nd Sept 2013

Aired yesterday afternoon via Fuji TV & it's the 1 of 3 back to back episodes of Gokigenyou+ that DAIGO will appear in from yesterday til tomorrow :

☆フジテレビ『ごきげんよう』
9/2.3.4　13：00～13：30



DAIGO looks really good & hard to believe he last appeared on Gokigenyou+ was 2 years ago in March o_o

That said , it was so funny to see DAIGO got stumped when the Sugi-chan reject comedian mocked fun of him & of course with DAIGO , in comes another short term phrase aka OSSM -_-''' + towards almost the end of Gokigenyou+ , the host got stumped by DAIGO when he talked about his late grandpa again xD

The Prime Minster gag that DAIGO used to say before on variety shows still never fails to make me laugh even up to now xD

[YuriChan]

They both sound very soothing so far.

[Utena]

those are some cool covers, even better than AMBER's
Lapis Lazuli could be a video game theme song <3
And Home reminds me of those drama ost songs, really soothing as YuriChan said.

[KarenPang]

Me & my friend never expected AKIHIDE to include his face on the covers of Lapis Lazuli with it being a guitar instrumental album this time round so it was a completely pleasant surprise when the covers + promo pic were released on Fri

I think those covers + promo pic are even better than Amber & I'm excited to see even more pictures of AKIHIDE in Lapis Lazuli mode

Better yet , since the limited edition will have a 48 page booklet , please pretty please AKIHIDE *_*

[Chibi-Chan]

Wow, a second album from AKIHIDE!!! ^-^ Can't wait!

[KarenPang]

The guys's official site has changed AKIHIDE's solo picture on its website to Lapis Lazuli mode



AKIHIDE looks amazing hands down & it's weird that the words Solo Project for his new solo profile picture is written in English while for the other 2 , it's spelt out in Japanese ie. ソロプロジェクト o_O
