Thanks Heather for explaining. I don't pay attention very much on this, since I don't focus on traditional Japanese rock bands (like B'z, BREAKERZ) as well as I do female solo Japanese pop (Ayu, Sayuri Sugawara, miwa)...

^ if that's the case , why do you still bother to come post here to begin with ? :rolleyes

Those actually look kind of cool. :)

Special BREAKERZ BEST site update - another external bonus giveaway in addition to poker card photos

Oh boy , if the giveaway of BREAKERZ BEST poker card photos that're randomly allocated from 13 designs is not scary enough , the guys have announced another external bonus giveaway in the form of original sticker sheets :O

Taking a closer look at all 7 of the original sticker sheets , besides the obvious different colours used for each , the right end side has different incarnations of the guys's band skull logo , design wise .

And I guess this's something I will not bother to collect/get all as it's not really worth doing so D: & I rather save my $ on other BREAKERZ items that're worth getting for instead of sticker sheets :3

Pics - DAIGO as Detective Stardust in Scissor Sisters manga handshake event

Today was the official launch/handshake event of the 1st volume of the manga Scissor Sisters in which Scissor Sisters is something that both DAIGO & his eldest sister Eiki Eiki had a hand in working on the comic , story plot wise .

For the drawings itself , artist MARICO is responsible for drawing & bringing the characters to life in the story board .

Scissors Sisters is about 5 sisters who own a hair salon . The sisters are also magical girls who use their salon equipment to fight in order to protect the Earth's peace .

Of course DAIGO being DAIGO , he naturally has to be somewhere in the manga isn't it ? ~_~ So in comes .. Detective Stardust xD

From tv-asahi :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...29_080_001.jpg

He wore the same outfit as what's shown in the front cover of the Scissor Sisters comic book & man , does he look hot or what ? @_@

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2205748782.jpg

*____*

omg this's very LAST † PRAY ish , with the eyepatch that's really saying it xD but I couldn't help but laugh when I chance upon the name of his character that he has a part inside the manga .

I mean , seriously , Detective Stardust ? ~_~ Well at least DAIGO☆STARDUST is still a part of him in here , even though DAIGO☆STARDUST doesn't exist anymore :O

In addition , buyers also can get this special photo of DAIGO / Detective Stardust should they decide to purchase Scissor Sisters online :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...xdgqjkc4mj.jpg

*___*

Too bad in reality DAIGO can't save himself for dear life but hey there's always Detective Stardust if not Ultraman Saga's TAIGA to fall back on things right ? *muses x)

I already commented on LJ but that name XD

All the promos look great btw.

Fuwa , it's downright scary & very Halloween inspired for sure D:

Caption that accompanies the photo :

HALLOWEEN PARTY PV preview

OMG!! The song & the pv sounds/looks so great!!
thanks for posting the video.

L.O.V.E it , so can't wait to get my copy ! & to think at 1st I cancelled preordering it D:

So glad 2nd time round , I didn't ... alongside with 2 other items I also have preordered with HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA 8D

It's not called a halloween party for nothing to begin with :P

Doesn't this sound eerily like L'arc's Hurry Xmas to a certain extent ? Except that it's in the spirit of Halloween but wow , fantastic :heart

I can't imagine how the full PV is going to be like now *_*

And with that said , thread 17 , OFF WE GO GO GO !
