1. Name Karen or if you're Chinese , my real name - Hui Min
2. Sex Female
3. Since when have you been a fan? 2 years & counting since their single debut SUMMER PARTY / LAST EMOTION
4. How did you get to know them? Believe it or not , it's by accident ! I was being a couch potato (still am lol) & 1 day 2 years ago , I was sitting in front of the TV & that time , MTV Taiwan was still available on my cable TV .
I was flipping channels & then I decided to tune into MTV Taiwan & then BOOM , the PV for SUMMER PARTY was being played .
I literally had NO idea who this group BREAKERZ was & it was the 1st song I literally heard of them .
That time , I was like cool song & who this group again ? The rest they said was history :D
5. Your favourite member is...? Sorry I will say all . If I pick just one , the other 2 will cry together at 1 corner xD LOL
6. What do you like about #5 the most? ne ne ne , I like all 3 equally so cannot xD
7. What is your favourite B.R.Z song? Just one ? one only ?! T_T ... ok fine SUMMER PARTY
8. What do you like about #7? it's the song that started all of this crazy & yet wonderful surreal experience in supporting the guys from then til now . If I never heard/seen the song/PV by chance , I wouldn't be here isn't it ? 8D
9. What is your #2 favourite song? ... depends on my mood like what Darkie wrote 8D
10. What do you like about #9? see my answer for #9 ~_~
11. Is there a support member you like? MAKOTO
12. What do you like about #11? He's cute & I think there's a certain mysterious aura that he has which I find it cool
13. Is there a recording musician you like? oh dear I don't really take notice of this so I'm not going to answer it >_<
14. What do you like about #13? see above
15. Your favourite album is...? FIGHTERZ
16. What do you like about #15? because it's basically perfect . I feel the singles on the album were weaker but the album tracks really blew me outta the water as there were so much variety & experimentation going on , for once , it's the album tracks that're on par if not are more superior than the singles themselves :)
17. Your favourite single is...? just one only ? T_T Ok maybe GRAND FINALE *runs for the hills xD
18. What do you like about #17? Because it's their 1st single to include a B-side (Smile in Tears - sooo amazing *bows down to AKIHIDE for writing/composing such an ace song) , an acoustic song (Dandeliooonnnnnn XXXDDD) & let alone including the instrumental for the A-side . You don't see them including instrumentals for A-sides before & after GRAND FINALE was released ~_~
19. Your favourite CD jacket is...? I separate this into 3 parts xD . Single - Gekijou / hEaVeN . Album - CRASH & BUILD . Mini album - Ao no Mirai
20. What do you like about #19? Single - the caligraphy wordings going on in Gekijou were really cool . hEaVeN fits the whole support pep team for the Chagall arts exhibition really well .
Album - I just like CRASH & BUILD's cover because you don't see DAIGO being overphotshopped like crap there ~_~ but it's simplicity at best I feel .
Mini album - it might be called Ao no Mirai but I don't think the somewhat overusage of blue drowned everything out .
Also , AKIHIDE just looked *__* xD
21. Your favourite PV is...? SUMMER PARTY
22. What do you like about #20? Same reason as to what I gave in the favourite BRZ song .
Also , it's still the only PV to date that DAIGO did his WISH kimai rock pose . (if you don't count the FIGHTERZ version of GRAND FINALE)
23. Let's talk about impressions. What do you think of DAIGO? My 1st impression of DAIGO - like what I said before , I literally had no knowledge about them when I chanced upon their music by accident 2 years back .
So my 1st impression of DAIGO was that oh another tall , handsome & good looking frontman for a rock group xD
Like most people , I was quite shocked when I found out his real age was 30 (2 years ago) as he really looked like someone who's in his early 20's D:
My younger sister knew about DAIGO because she watched variety shows & some of them , DAIGO appeared in .
I watched some & I was like why's DAIGO behaving as though he's this silly person on steriods o_o ? & harlow , isn't a grown up guy supposed to behave much more mature than this ? I blame myself for being somewhat more mature but I digress lmao
But after I began reading translated blog entries which Nat posted on her LiveJournal community random_jblogs , I discovered many different sides to him & that the image that he portrayed on TV & let alone in promo pics are just well an illusion to cover/conceal other stuff .
I know he has been in the business for a really long time & he's smart not to stumble upon & give into the downpits in the industry . Even though the band's early days were horribly bleak/depressing , he , AKIHIDE & SHINPEI never gave up which I respect that tremendously as it's very easy to just do it as so .
He said before on Arashi no Shukundai-kun that he refused to ride on his late grandpa's name when he started doing music & it was only much later on , he decided to use this as a last resort but the way he said it , he did so in such a way that it's comical & people will laugh at & that goes for other epic fail mistakes/experiences he used to encounter too .
Using laughter to mask things is something I cannot do at all @_@ , I think it's a skill :O
Also , for people who doesn't know him well enough will be quick to dismiss him as an airhead if not a flower vase (have looks but no talent to match) but just look at how much personal writing/composing input he has towards the group , you'll be amazed at his ability to write/compose really good songs .
That & I appericate the fanservice entries he blogged & also show towards AKIHIDE & SHINPEI in their offshot clips & in live performances too 8D
Not to mention , how often you see a frontman that has plenty of charisma but yet he doesn't behave as though he's arrogant & being a prat about it ?
I feel at the end of the day , he's someone that has a really good personality & you definitely will not be bored if you're with him .
For me since I'm downright sadistic & has a really dry sense of humour with an emotionless state to match , I need someone to lighten up & crack jokes without sounding lame/over the top so I think that's where DAIGO comes into the pic , hoho ;p
I think I should stop before I can turn this question into a full length essay D: xD
24. Which DAIGO song is your favourite? I noticed it's usually those songs that he wrote/composed that doesn't have any weird English/Engrish that stood out more , so my vote goes to Hikari :)
25. How do you call/address DAIGO? I think this's going to sound terribly sad if not shocking but he's the only one that I addressed him as his name per suggest , unlike for AKIHIDE & SHINPEI xD
I know Nat address him as Dai-chan but when I hear Dai-chan , it equals to Hey ! Say ! JUMP's Daiki heh
26. What do you think of DAIGO as a talento? I have a love & hate relationship with it .
Love in the sense that if he walks into a room or down the streets , he gets people's attention & he knows how to set & get the mood rolling .
Hate in the sense that FOR GOODNESS SAKE , PLEASE STOP DOING THE ROCK SUBERU dude T_T . It's always making me o_O , -_-''' & -_- each time lmao
27. Have you read any of Eiki Eiki's works? if you count the one that she wrote/published about DAIGO & their late grandpa , then yeah . I have the comic book in my room so x)
28. What do you think of DAIGO☆STARDUST? I had no idea about his solo past told you it's this bad xD until much later on & needless to say , I had quite a shock or 2 .
I did find it hard to believe this's the same person then & now & the outfits he had when he was DAIGO☆STARDUST , some were X_X
But much later on , I found out that he never changed at all in terms of his personality & that goes for the music & let alone the personal input he had put into his solo material which was great <3
DAIGO taught me something that doesn't mean someone looks o_o , you shouldn't jump straight in & proclaim I will not try their music .
I had that initally but I'm glad that barrier has been broken down since :)
29. Let's talk about AKIHIDE next. What do you think of him? My first impression of AKIHIDE - Dude you're short XXXDDD
But jokes aside , I did find AKIHIDE really good looking if not mysterious at the same time initally & in some angles of the group's promo pics , he looked like Ikuta Toma (especially for LAST EMOTION) but my sister said he looked like NEWS's Yamapi in the promo pics for Shakunetsu (erm o_O)
Later on , I discovered just how much of a genius he's & it's scary that he can do so many things that I cannot do @_@
From writing , composing , graphic designing , putting on great rocking live guitar solos onstage , doing flash movies , drawing really fanciful artistic stuff , blogging in the most poetic & refined manner , appericate the small things in life like cicadas , the list can go on .
I feel small/intimidated if I were to stand near him & I'm like a head or 2 taller than him -_-
30. Which AKIHIDE song is your favourite? eee there's just too many as I do enjoy his writing & composing stuff in general (except for 1 or 2) .
*ponders ... if I pick one , I say probably Nanzenkai ... Nanmenkai ... . A great song to start CRASH & BUILD . The acoustic is just magical *__*
NEVER LAND wise , I really like Tengoku e no Tegami as that was the 1st NEVER LAND song I heard :)
31. How do you call/address AKIHIDE? I used to call him Aki but in recent times , due to influences from the people around me , it became Aki-sama ~_~ & throw the random funny odd hand gestures in that DAIGO always like doing , it's real funny actually haha
But for formal stuff , I stick strictly with AKIHIDE to separate/fliter out from my fangirling affairs
32. What do you think of FAIRY FORE? Since AKIHIDE was not involved in singing in the group (I think o_o) , I did not listen to their material
33. What do you think of NEVER LAND? Really cool :D <3 & they should not have disbanded ;__;
I still kick myself for not discovering their music much earlier . Then again when I came into listening to JPop in late 2006 , they were RIP already :(
Then again , I still want AKIHIDE to be in front & not at the back of the microphone as I like his voice :)
34. What do you think of AKIHIDE as ABC support? I think it's great & it's though AKIHIDE that I discovered & decided to try ABC's music which I have to say , I do enjoy listening to :)
It's nice to keep things in the family if you think about it :)
35. What do you think of AKIMICHIROU? what is that lmao
36. Your favorite MOON SIDE animation is? I only just discovered/bothered to click this link on AKIHIDE's personal webpage I know I'm so late
But so far , I really enjoy Sekai no Hate . The music accompanying the flash movie clip is sooooooo nice , my jaws literally dropped when I heard it o_o
37. Lastly, let's talk about SHINPEI. What do you think of him? My 1st impression of SHINPEI - cool looking dude & why are you hiding your hitomi's behind those shades xD
Like AKIHIDE , I used to think that it was downright impossible to know a bit more & then some for SHINPEI as it's still not easy to find info about them on the net in general .
But after reading translated transcripts of SHINPEI's blog , I came to realise/notice he actually care a great deal for the group , in ways that he probably doesn't know but I do .
Unlike DAIGO who can be sometimes insane XXXDDD sorry it's just wrong I know o_O , SHINPEI seems to be the most level headed person between the 3 of them & I admire him for being the butt of most of the jokes he had to endure in their offshot clips , like seriously ~_~ -_-
That & also , just look at his body *__* . DAIGO & AKIHIDE cannot really take a candle against him in his aspect 8D
38. Your favourite SHINPEI song is? I would say Ao no Mirai since it's the 1st song he ever composed & he did such a wonderful job for it .
Acoustic take of the song is also beautiful too *__*
39. Up until now, SHINPEI has not written lyrics for BREAKERZ. Do you have expectations in the future? Not really because I have a feeling for SHINPEI's case , composing seems to be a bit more easier for him to handle , rather than writing .
But if he choose to start writing , then sure , go ahead . I don't mind to listen to it , whether will the final product be good or bad . At least he tried , unlike me ~_~
40. How do you call/address SHINPEI? Formal stuff , it will be strictly SHINPEI .
Informal mode wise , Shinpi x) since that's what DAIGO & AKIHIDE (I think o_o) address him as so
41. What do you think of his niece BOSS-chan? She's the sweetest little girl around . I actually am terrible with kids but seeing SHINPEI blogged about BOSS-chan , you can't help but go aww about it :)
I think it's cool that as each time I see a new pic of BOSS-chan/hime that SHINPEI post on his blog , she's growing into a really fine & beautiful niece <3
42. What hair colour do you think suits him best? I say blonde & this happened way before the whole for every new material = new hair colour mode started ~_~
43. SHINPEI without sunglasses is...? really lovely <3 . Dude , just remove your shades FOR ONCE onegai .
I think someone should start offering a reward to people who will try & be successful in getting this done 8D *joke
44. Let's roleplay. The member you want to be your dad is...? ... I guess DAIGO ?
I know he has handled kids before in variety shows & they really like him when he's around .
SHINPEI will make a cool dad too since he takes care of BOSS-chan a great deal & let alone being a babysitter to Chappy xD
I don't know for AKIHIDE though o_o xD . I think yes ? I cannot say no if not I will get eggs being thrown at my face xD
45. The member you want to be your older brother is...? AKIHIDE . I know he's very smart & has a lot of brawn .
For that , I think he's someone you can go to if you want rock solid advise
46. The member you want to be your younger brother is...? DAIGO as I probably can bullied (and probably beat physically lmao) the crap outta him & he wouldn't even dare to lay a finger on me ;)
47. If you were to date one of them, it would be...? DAIGO as I have a feeling he's someone that will not cheat on you & be 110% committed in a relationship .
My only fear is when he becomes very insecure/needy as I know he's :O . If he starts calling me everyday to check up on the little things that I do , I will just flare up & smack & shake him to stop being paranoid about this matter D:
48. The member you want to be your friend is...? All 3 8D
49. The member you want to be your husband is...? DAIGO DAIGO DAIGO xD
Darkie can have AKIHIDE while Nat can have SHINPEI *cheekily
No sorry wait , Nat has to fight for BOSS-chan & Chappy's attention 8D
50. The member you want to be your servant is...? *cheekily I say DAIGO because this's payback for him for bullying/torturing AKIHIDE & SHINPEI in their live performances & offshot clips
And yes he has to wash my feet XXXDDD (I'm 1/2 kidding on this xD)
51. The member you want to be your teacher is...? I think all 3 can be teachers but it depends on the subject in question 8D
DAIGO - writing , composing , doing Rock Suberu properly (probably ~_~)
AKIHIDE - poetry writing , doing animated flash movies , drawing , trying to appericate cicadas (xD)
SHINPEI - gym (OMG if he becomes a personal trainer in my house's gym , I'm so going downstairs to gym everyday just to see him . That will be perfect for my motivation HAHAHA)
52. The member you want to be your classmate is...? All 3 of them *see the amount of epic failness they had going on in the GRAND FINALE PV & let alone silly confession scene xD
53. What do you love most about BREAKERZ? The fact that despite all the hardships they faced in their early days of formation , they never gave up hope .
Even though now it's obvious that things has changed significantly for them , they're still the same people & I don't think success has changed them for the worst .
They've been in the business for a really long time & I'm happy they don't take anything/everything for granted for what they have achieved then & now .
Also , they might look moody/emo/pissy looking in their PVs & promo pics but really , it's in their blogs & let alone offshot clips that they showcased they're merely a group of kids at the end of the day x)
Lastly , I respect them for doing everything hands on . I don't like it when you're an artiste but you're singing stuff that other people wrote/composed for you .
By writing/composing your own material , the distance between this & that is somewhat closer/less wider .
54. What do you think separates them from other bands? How many other bands can boost that their hot talented frontman lead singer is the grandson of a former prime minister , huh huh huh 8D
