Ahahahahaha omg DAIGO will be appearing live next Tue night at 1am Japan time during Golden Bomber's Kiryūin Shō radio show , All Night Nippon xD xD xD xD

Wonder what silly antics both of them will be talking about on air next Tue night ~_~

[KarenPang]

For last night (as the norm) , DAIGO did a little bit of HR promo for 1 of his many shows ie. Nippon TV's 火曜サプライズ ; Tuesday Surprise



Caption included - 火曜サプライズ！楽しかったあ（≧∇≦）ありがとう！ 22時からはボンビーガール！！ みんな観てね（≧∇≦）

Tuesday Surprise was aired last night & so did Shiawase! Bonbi Girl , as per the norm every Tue night .

Somewhat normal looking outfit DAIGO wore today but get a look at his manicure :O It so matches his DAIGO☆STARDUST alter ego that's for sure :p

So Spacey ish xD

[KarenPang]

DAIGO will not be releasing his debut solo single Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH until 31st July but already on his official personal site , they mentioned that a special B2 sized DAIGO original poster for early preorders of the single .

Is it me or am I very surprised HMV and Tower Records are not in the list ? Let alone for Shinseido too . I'm really surprised that these 3 stores are not giving the DAIGO original poster which's really odd as all the while , Tower Records has support the guys pretty much from day 1 til now :O

I don't know if this's the finalised list but wow surprise is an understatement & frankly I think the pictures that will be used of DAIGO in the poster/s will be the same images as the covers of Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH .

And for once , I don't mind to skip not getting the poster/s as my room's basically out of wall space already haha

http://shinpei-muscleattack.net/live/live_003.html

Wow I think this's so cool & for once , it's not MUSCLE ATTACK that will be headlining the concert but it's both M&M + MUSCLE ATTACK together onstage

A lot of people don't know this but when MATSU & MAKOTO work together , they are collectively known as M&M . In M&M , MATSU takes on the role of both vocalist & bassist .

Even BREAKERZ themselves do acknowledge them as M&M onstage during whenever they do their band introduction so there

15th Sept is going to be really interesting if not super cool

[KarenPang]

Nice upclose shot , SHINPEI :p

SHINPEI's band MUSCLE ATTACK's My BLOODY BUNNY is officially released on Wed digitally via Rekochoku .

PC wise , iTunes , mora & Musing already started selling My BLOODY BUNNY at a cost of 250 Yen .

SHINPEI wrote more details with regards to My BLOODY BUNNY via his blog & he already said before that this song was mainly sung by bassist Jong so it's not really 100% SHINPEI's vocals that's in the song itself xD

And My BLOODY BUNNY sure is short since iTunes , mora & Musing list the song duration as 2:54 mins o_o

I'm definitely intrigued to hear how the full version of My BLOODY BUNNY sounds like in due time

SHINPEI's MUSCLE ATTACK band's 2nd performance as a group took place yesterday at Shibuya Chelsea Hotel & the concert goods list for MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.2~ was released via MUSCLE ATTACK's official site !

http://shinpei-muscleattack.net/goods.html

In case you did a double take , it's the exact same set of concert goods that were issued for MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.1~ :O

Uh did ZAIN RECORDS forgot to give SHINPEI extra $ in the budget ? o_O

[KarenPang]

The guys's official YouTube site has uploaded a 2:01 mins clip with regards to the short version of DAIGO's Itsumo Dakishimete PV *__*



Uwa *_____* I still will say the same thing in that DAIGO's hairdo in the short version of Itsumo Dakishimete PV is so gorgeous . Let alone with him wearing white = <3 <3 <3 <3

I think I'm going to like Itsumo Dakishimete slightly more than Mugen ∞REBIRTH & I think the PV concept for Itsumo Dakishimete is cute , with DAIGO going on a reel life date xD

Funny that those scenes of him in the Ferris Wheel reminds me of when he was inside 1 with Izumo not too long ago on Tensai ! Shimura Dobusten haha :p

But overall I think if not hope I will like both A-sides equally as much . See this's why I don't mind the guys to release double A-side singles x)

Wouldn't be long before 31st July swings by now <3 <3

[KarenPang]

11 MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.1~ photos have been uploaded via MUSCLE ATTACK's website



MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.1~ took place on 11th May at Roppongi morph-tokyo , on the same day as SHINPEI's 32nd birthday !

http://shinpei-muscleattack.net/photo.html

MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.2~ took place yesterday on 19th July at Shibuya Chelsea Hotel with it being a sold out concert date !

[KarenPang]

SHINPEI uploaded quite a lot of photos on Fri via his Twitter as he did so before MUSCLE ATTACK performed at MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.2~ which for that matter was a sold out concert date , alongside with WORLD 9 BROS. & universe .

1st of all , 1st photo he uploaded

I personally think SHINPEI looks fantastic . He's like the only 1 in MUSCLE ATTACK and/or BREAKERZ I approve of him wearing a tank top singlet xD

And right after MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.2~ finished , the whole gang :

今回も最高のトレーニングだったぜ！ありがとう！

皆にエネルギー届いたかい？(￣▽￣)

For some reason , Shunp looks really scary there D: & omg HIDEHIRO's muscles = O_O O_O O_O . Jong oddly looks like MATSU slightly haha

But with that said , Otsukaresama deshita MUSCLE ATTACK !

[KarenPang]

DAIGO tweeted this right after Hiruobi ! finished its broadcast on TBS on Fri :



Caption included - ひるおび！終了（≧∇≦） CDの宣伝していただきましたあ！ありがとうございます！！ いよいよ再来週リリースかあ！楽しみ！ 今日もひるおびスタイル！

http://p.twipple.jp/nqaH3

His outfit's super awesome as usual but get a whole load of his spacey manicure , it's still there for now xD

I guess after this coming Fri's Kaette Yuku DAIGO☆STARDUST , he will get rid of it but for once , it's something somewhat unique to jazz up his outfit , spacey style xD

[KarenPang]

My friend tweeted a screencap photo with regards to the CD + DVD A backcover of DAIGO's Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH single in the afternoon & needless to say , I went quite berserk upon seeing it which's so not good as I was working in the office xD

but HEY xD



http://p.twipple.jp/qalOy

ahahaha omg I had to do a double take upon seeing it & I was like O______O

Oh wow this's so ... unexpected xD xD xD xD Already , the CD + DVD A cover of Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH features DAIGO topless but the back cover is a totally different thing altogether LOL

I guess the girl DAIGO is hugging with regards to the back cover is the same person that acted as his girlfriend in the Itsumo Dakishimete PV ?

Wouldn't surprise me if so but damn she's 1 lucky lady & NO I'm not jealous xD

[KarenPang]

Looking super fresh DAIGO （≧∇≦）



Caption included - 今日は撮影ちう。 順調だよ〜（≧∇≦）

http://p.twipple.jp/aO92e

Is that even DAIGO to begin with ? Somehow or another , he looks like a small kid in that photo haha :p

[KarenPang]

Oh how adorable this's xD xD xD



xD I still think the guys's BUNNY LOVE outfits are some of their best they've worn even up to now . Given a chance , I would adopt them xD

I think the lucky girl that DAIGO hugged in the backcover for Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH might be the same girl that played his girlfriend in the PV ?

Wouldn't surprise me if so xD but man she's soooo lucky D: but NO I'm not jealous , really

And seriously , DAIGO's 35 for real ? it's so ridiculous man D:

DAIGO☆STARDUSTとしてデビューして今日7/21日でデビュー10年！！改めて、デビュー曲を描いていただいた氷室京介さんに大感謝です！このご恩は一 生をかけてお返ししたいです！ そしてこの記念日に俺は、久しぶりに兄貴といます♥

http://p.twipple.jp/2MiSM

yesterday , DAIGO uploaded this photo a few mins after midnight in mentioning that yesterday was the 10th anniversary since his solo alter ego DAIGO☆STARDUST debuted in the scene with his debut single MARIA .

MARIA was the only song in DAIGO☆STARDUST's discography that wasn't composed by DAIGO . Instead , the song was composed by his Kami-sama / god (and no it's neither yasu and/or hyde) in the form of the legendary Himuro Kyosuke , who was the lead singer of BOØWY .

BOØWY is cited as 1 of DAIGO's main music influence so it makes a lot of sense for DAIGO to continue to hold Himuro Kyosuke in so much high regard even up to now .

I must say if not admit that when I 1st started in BREAKERZ's fandom some 5 years ago , I knew nothing about DAIGO's past , likewise for the rest & their story backgrounds . Only much later on when I discovered much more , wow I had quite a big shock or 2 .

For a moment I thought to myself was this the same person to begin with ? I also recalled saying that I would never try DAIGO☆STARDUST's music & looking back , it was quite a silly if not stupid statement I made as now I enjoy DAIGO's solo music tremendously as much as BREAKERZ .

I guess I was really put off by the various terrible/crazy/questionable images that DAIGO☆STARDUST portrayed ? xD [cough ROCK THE PLANET , cough Eien no Space Cowboy cough] But once I got past that , everything else's secondary & listening to both DAIGO☆STARDUST + BREAKERZ made me realised that all the while , the main core if not charm in DAIGO is still there .

DAIGO then & now , he never changed at all personality wise . Be it whether he was DAIGO☆STARDUST and/or in BREAKERZ , he still did everything on his own , from writing to composing all his own material & that goes for producing too .

But of course image wise , it's a total different thing altogether xD xD xD

It's just a huge pity that chart success wise , DAIGO☆STARDUST basically had none which's so unfortunate as he genuinely has really great songs in his solo discography . Heck , even DAIGO said himself at that time , nobody knew what was he trying to portray xD & for him to have a sense of humour in something no matter how bleak things might be , that's something I really respect if not admire of him as I myself ain't able to do that .

But at the end of the day , looking back at things , I can see that DAIGO has really come such a long way & for him to be still in the business from when he was 19 til now , it ain't easy . Let alone , success only came knocking at his door when he was 30 & I know at that time when he was still DAIGO☆STARDUST , he wanted to reveal about his late grandpa but he chose not to , only until he turned 30 which became a 'last resort' for him xD

All in all , happy belated 10th anniversary DAIGO☆STARDUST , stay spacey always (≧▽≦) & your solo music still lives on up to now ♥

[KarenPang]

In 2 days's time , it will be BREAKERZ's 6th anniversary since the guys released their self titled debut album on 25th July 2007 .

And today on SHINPEI's blog , he wrote that in line with this joyous occasion , he has came up with a 100 questions 100 answers corner .

そして・・・もうすぐBREAKERZの誕生日だ☆
せっかくのアニバーサリー週なので、FANの皆さんと久しぶりに密にコミュニケーションしたい ！
と、いうことで。
久しぶりにやります！
「SHINPEIへの100問100答」！
今日のブログに質問を募集するので、是非投稿してね！
待ってるぜ！

http://yaplog.jp/brzshinpei/archive/2689

Those who're interested to ask him a question if not questions , just leave a comment or 2 on his blog & I guess the best questions that fans ask him , he will answer in his 100 questions 100 answers corner in a future blog entry of his .

SHINPEI didn't say when this will take place but my guess it will be this Thurs on 25th July itself ? Only time will tell
