Even though I bought the version focused on Manatsu no Zankyou I like Konya, Nostalgia de better. The saxophone really elevates the jrock sound to make it unique. Manatsu no Zankyou is good too with it's 90's jrock sound.
I also enjouoyed the PVs. But it would have been better if there was more going on in them. But I'll take glamour shots of Daigo.
I think I heard Daigo say he was wearing Yves Saint Laurent clothing in the offshoot? If this is true it would explain why I love his outfit so much.
Also, the paper of the inserts was of a very nice, glossy quality. But sadly there was only one photo of Daigo inside, I was hoping for more.

GLAY's TAKURO did a great job creating both songs and since I listen to GLAY , they do sound like something GLAY would sing themselves

And yeah given a choice , I prefer Konya, Nostalgia de a bit more over Manatsu no Zankyou due to the strong saxophone sounds

For some odd reason DAIGO looked really tired in both PVs o_O and yeah the 2nd part of Manatsu no Zankyou PV is quite fanservice driven x)

I haven't watch the PV offshots yet but if so , I'm not surprised as DAIGO wore a lot of branded clothes over the years

Like for GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- , BREAKERZ wore Alexander McQueen in the photos & PV

Also yes I'm surprised this time round both CD + DVDs versions of Manatsu no Zankyou/ Konya, Nostalgia de don't have that much photos as what I thought :x

I guess if they didn't include the instrumentals , then more photos will be included instead cos that's not a norm for BREAKERZ and/or DAIGO to include them in their singles but for DAIGO , his previous solo single K S K included the instrumental of the A-side

Frankly I'm a bit underwhelmed with the concert goods cos I probably expected a bit more ?

The most ordinary looking item is surprisingly the T-shirt as the design looks so erm amateurish :x

It would have been nice if a postcard set , photoset if not by a long shot pamphlet be included but alas no such luck

The Fuudo Tsuki! Kumapanda☆Towel is real adorable though haha and I never thought a strawberry pound cake can served as a concert good , go figures LOL

Wow hard to believe it has been almost 6 years since HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA was formed , let alone released HALLOWEEN PARTY :O

Marie wrote that she went to see AKIHIDE performed at Billboard Live OSAKA last month on 23rd June

And her music is released under Giza Studio that Being owns so she's technically label mates of sorts with BREAKERZ x)

Looking forward to see today's setlist , it will be very interesting on how this will be pull off and my vote says that DAIGO☆STARDUST should win + he MUST wear his infamous ROCK THE PLANET outfit before he fly back to Spacey Planet
