This's in line with SHINPEI's monthly cooking corner he does for PATi PATi magazine . Suffice to say , Shin will be featured in the next monthly cooking corner as its guest .

Karen, i know this is a Breakerz thread, but, do you like ViViD ??
Their music is good, it sounds a bit like SID and UVERworld

Actually come to think about it , no I don't listen to ViViD but since you said that their music sounds like SID & UVERworld , maybe I will give their music a shot

And speaking of ViViD , SHINPEI attended ViviD TOUR 2013 Just do it！2 days ago which was held at SHIBUYA-AX <3

http://yaplog.jp/brzshinpei/archive/2593

The very same venue that I attended the last tour date of BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2012 "BEST" -LIVE HOUSE COLLECTION- last Dec :D

Whaa~~~ Shin <3 I really like ViViD, you should give them a try^-^

After so many rounds of trying different hair colours over the last 6 years & counting , I still think blonde suits SHINPEI the best ;D

For today , DAIGO decided to do a little bit of HR promo for 2 of his many shows ie. Nippon TV's 火曜サプライズ ; Tuesday Surprise & 幸せ！ボンビーガール SP ; Shiawase ! Bonbi Girl SP .

http://p.twipple.jp/84yJH

Tuesday Surprise was aired just now & currently , a 2 hours special of Shiawase ! Bonbi Girl SP is being aired at this point in time .

DAIGO's top is very interesting , design wise & who knew layering black wool over a white shirt would work wonders for him <3

YouTube streaming - DAIGO in episode 119 of Cardfight!! Vanguard anime (Eng subbed)

Aired 3 days ago on TV Tokyo :

☆テレビ東京『カードファイト！ヴァンガード（アフレコ出演）』ＤＡＩＧＯ役
4/21　10：00～10：30

☆TV Tokyo『Card Fight! Vanguard (Dubbing appearance)』DAIGO Role
4/21　10：00～10：30



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...apture7470.jpg

Still that caption of anime DAIGO , wins hands down <3

This marks the 2nd time DAIGO appeared in the Cardfight!! Vanguard anime , the 1st time was last year , on 5th Aug .

Tch , some things never changed at all ~_~ & yup it's true that anime DAIGO still has the same mannerisms as the real DAIGO in person lmao . Is that a good or bad thing ? I really don't know xD xD xD

Both editions of AKIHIDE's Amber are now up for preorder via YesAsia

http://www.yesasia.com/us/akihide/0-...7-en/list.html

It's very surprising that CDJapan has not list Amber for preorder , considering that they're usually the 1st to get preorder links 1st & running :O

The May issue of ARENA 37℃ Création No.3 will be released tomorrow on 26th April & already , ARENA 37℃'s official Twitter account has uploaded some preview shots on what to expect from it , since DAIGO's featured on the cover .

Amber promo picture

omg AKIHIDE *_____*

Seriously both covers of Amber , truly to die for <3 <3 <3

I think my fave cover is the CD only , not that CD + DVD is bad but something about the CD only's cover is just really artistic & so good . It really reflects AKIHIDE very well & I can't speak enough just how great he looks in the solo promo picture *___*

Great that the finalised tracklist for Amber is finally up & everything looks great ! Looks like there're no BREAKERZ and/or NEVER LAND 'covers' , all solely 100% original material , fabulous !

Bring on 5th June now !!!

http://www.excite.co.jp/News/music/2...969466767.html

Wow, love the covers!!! My favourite is the CD+DVD one. ^-^ And I really like the title 黒猫のTango... xD

I think both covers of Amber & even the promo pic itself are so fabulous which's insane xD

To me I prefer the CD only cover as you can't go wrong with black & white images *_*

AKIHIDE is really a jack of all trades & master of everything . All songs on Amber written , composed & sung by him . He is also in charge of the album's artwork

And I still feel that he has a much better singing voice as compared to DAIGO x)

Anyway , a preview snippet of Hoshi no Kyousoukyoku was uploaded on AKIHIDE's personal site last month & now , a preview snippet for another song from Amber has been uploaded on akihide.com .

This time round , it's track #2 in Amber ie. 愛しのヴァルキュリア ; Aishi no Valkyria :

http://akihide.com/pc/news/news_001.html

Honestly , maybe because I overplayed the preview snippet of Hoshi no Kyousoukyoku , I'm slightly not feeling the preview of Aishi no Valkyria that much :O

However since it's just preview snippets for both songs , you never know . I'm sure I will change my mind about this in due time when I hear Amber in full xD

A special sub website was launched yesterday within AKIHIDE's personal site akihide.com , in line with the impending release of his debut solo album Amber :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...banner_001.png

Upon clicking the above link , it shows a really nice if not very cool personalised drawing web page that AKIHIDE personally did , with 10 supposedly 'surprises' that will be revealed pre release (9 of them) & post release (1 of them) of Amber .

For now , 3 of the 'surprises' been revealed yesterday :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...0II/260413.jpg

The 1st 3 includes :

- Amber promo picture released
- Covers & finalised tracklist for Amber released
- Preview snippet of Aishi no Valkyria released

38 days before Amber gets released :D ... with 7 more 'surprises' to be launched in due time <3

Hoshi no Ouji-sama is included as a bonus track in AKIHIDE's impending debut solo album Amber & in actual fact , Hoshi no Ouji-sama was originally sung by AKIHIDE's previous band NEVER LAND before they disbanded .

It's also 1 of many songs that unfortunately never saw the day/light in being included in a CD prior to NEVER LAND's spilt .

And here's a YouTube streaming of a LQ live performance that NEVER LAND did Hoshi no Ouji-sama onstage , it's not the full track but it's better than nothing :



The live track of Hoshi no Ouji-sama sounds promising . So can't wait to hear the studio version of the song in due time :D

That of course with the whole Amber album too *__* . AKIHIDE looked so young & innocent back then LMAO

Those were the days before REAL LOVE (2010) was even 'born' xD :innocent

Announced yesterday via DAIGO's blog & Twitter , an additional date has been now added to DAIGO☆STARDUST's impending comeback concert that will take place in July .

Originally , it was just Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST which will take place on July 12th at Tokyo's Shibuya Public Hall but not anymore :)

At this moment , team brz members will be informed by 30th April / Tue on when the DM letters be sent out with regards to balloting concert tickets for Kaette Yuku DAIGO☆STARDUST .

Details with regards to the venue , concert timing & ticket prices for Kaette Yuku DAIGO☆STARDUST is the same as Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST .

Wow this's really good for DAIGO & I guess due to very strong demand from fans (let alone for those who already knew & supported DAIGO☆STARDUST way back then) , they decided to do this , just like the addition of 2 more concert dates for AKIHIDE's AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 “Amber” .

Only problem ? my friends whom already booked their airplane tickets super early for 12th July's concert , are in a big dilemma on whether should they also go for 26th July's concert or not :x

Typical for DAIGO to over***** if not praise himself , a bit too much xD

The May issue of ARENA 37℃ Création No.3 was released yesterday in which DAIGO's on the cover , so of course he has to do some sorta PR to canjole everyone to buy it isn't it ? xD

This's 1 of 2 outfits that he wore for the 20 paged photoshoot & I have to say , I really like it , it's so much better than what he wore on the cover of the magazine :3

And looks like DAIGO's taking inspiration from AKIHIDE as AKIHIDE started wearing hairpins on the side of his head last year & now it's DAIGO to follow suit :p

Outta all the crazy things that DAIGO wore on his head (extensions , hair streaks & dreadlocks) , surprisingly I don't mind him wearing hairpins . At least the hairpins doesn't stick out like a sore thumb that much :3

Otsukaresama Deshita , SHINPEI !
