[BREAKERZ] 19th thread ~ hiatus + DAIGO's debut solo album DAIGOLD (5.3.14)

Welcome to the 19th thread of 1 of JRock most talented trios







Today is really fun WISH-wink wink wink ! xD



xD



From Left To Right :

AKIHIDE - Guitar , Chorus , Music , Lyrics

DAIGO - Vocals , Chorus , Music , Lyrics

SHINPEI - Guitar , Chorus , Music





Supposedly's Aki's drawing that he did up in the Oct '09 issue of Arena 37C xD



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 .

10 RANDOM FACTS ON DAIGO

1) His late maternal grandpa was the 74th prime minister of Japan ie. Noboru Takeshita

2) His oldest sister is Eiki Eiki (who's born on 6th Dec 1971) & she's a mangaka (comic artist/cartoonist) . Eiki Eiki drew/published a comic book called Eiki Eiki no Buchaketai !! that was released on 3rd June 2009 & the manga centres on DAIGO & their late grandpa

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'

4) In real life , DAIGO's a complete DoM (Mascochist) but onstage during live performances & in the band's PVs , he adopts a DoS (Sadist) personality

5) DAIGO is responsible for close to writing/composing (most of the time both but depends) 90% of BREAKERZ's material

6) 3 things he cannot live without - phone , iphone & gloves

7) Prior to the release of DAIGO FIRST PHOTOBOOK DAIGOING L.A , it was DAIGO's 1st visit to US where he went to L.A for 5 days to shoot/complete the photobook

8) DAIGO has tremendous respect to Himuro Kyosuke (whom composed DAIGO's debut solo single MARIA when he was DAIGO☆STARDUST) , Acid Black Cherry's yasu , L'Arc~en~Ciel~'s hyde & holds them in high regard/esteem

In fact BREAKERZ super respect ABC's yasu , so much so that DAIGO calls yasu Aniki / elder brother in his blog

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) . In 2011 , DAIGO coined Bunnysh (Bunny + WISH) & Ariasu (the short form of Arigatou Gozaimasu) while this year in 2013 , the word Hebish (Hebi ; Japanese word for Snake + WISH) have been added to DAIGO's ever long list of words he coined up himself -_-

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) Besides being a singer/songwriter/composer for BREAKERZ , he's also a talento

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



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



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

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

Battle has a very jazzy feeling mixed in some Latin flare.

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 ~_~

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

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

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。
http://daigo-official.net/news/news_042.html

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

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

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 ...

MUSCLE ATTACK did shooting today for a TV show programme , their 1st time in doing this in which SHINPEI sounded really psyched about it via his blog

And you can't go wrong with SHINPEI wearing a singlet that's for sure ( ̄▽ ̄)

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 :



ONLY available via :

Tower Records
Tower Records ONLINE

Type B :



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
