To say that AKIHIDE looks fantastic in the following 4 AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 “Amber” team brz live photos is an understatement , like really .



The 3rd photo is my fave , AKIHIDE looks lovely in that particular shot ♥

musicJAPANplus - AKIHIDE 2nd Album "Lapis Lazuli" Release Interview

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../MJP011113.jpg

Once again , musicJAPANplus did a really good job interviewing AKIHIDE in line with the release of Lapis Lazuli . And best of all , the whole interview is written in English (with the whole text translated from Japanese) .

Just like the 1st interview musicJAPANplus conducted with AKIHIDE , the answers that AKIHIDE gave are real insightful if not thoughtful which will definitely make someone appreciate from where he's coming from & that goes for the amount of effort AKIHIDE put in , into making Lapis Lazuli .

Pic - DAIGO with Becky at Day 3 / 25th Oct date of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013

Becky uploaded this photo of herself together with DAIGO on Thurs via her Twitter + Instagram . The photo was taken at Day 3 / 25th Oct date of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 .

That particular day of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 was the only day that Becky performed onstage at Chiba's Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 9~11 Hall :

Becky looks really hot if not gorgeous as Batgirl & I think she's too kind in calling DAIGO a genius where in reality he's not :p

And of course for both of them to do DAIGO's WISH pose together , it's still something that never ever goes out of style , even up to now :D

Akihide's website is so cool. I hope i can do a nice website like that someday.

AKIHIDE is ridiculously talented beyond words , I can understand why some of my contacts in their fandom really adores him a great deal

I can't find any other person that has both great brains & great brawn . No offense to the other 2 in the group , especially the ditzy DAIGO :laugh

2nd + 3rd pictures of DAIGO at Day 4 / 26th Oct date of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013

Last Sat's HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 took place at Chiba's Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall 9~11 Hall in which the concert date was sold out .

Yesterday , Barks released 2 more photos of DAIGO taken from Day 4 / 25th Oct of HALLOWEEN PARTY 2013 in which DAIGO was in Shingeki no Kyojin anime cosplay mode :

The 3 songs that AKIHIDE played in the 3 'secret' video clips in the Lapis Lazuli special website

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

Now that AKIHIDE's Lapis Lazuli has finally been released , I'm now able to decipher the title of the 3 songs that he played in the 3 'secret' video clips within the Lapis Lazuli special website as prior to this , I do not know what were the songs AKIHIDE played for all 3 clips but not anymore .

Title of the 1st song he played in the 1st 'secret' video clip' (by clicking on the moon icon in the website) - Okinawa ; track #5

Title of the 2nd song he played in the 2nd 'secret' video clip' (by clicking on the butterfly icon in the website) - Birthday ; track #1

Title of the 3rd song he played in the 3rd 'secret' video clip' (by clicking on the seated guitarist wearing hat icon in the website) - Lost ; track #9

Both Okinawa & Lost are awesome , studio versions wise . I only wish that Birthday could have a bit longer :x

Yesterday was the day when DAIGO's spacey hug event took place in Osaka . It was rescheduled after its original date of 16th Sept got cancelled as at that time it had to be done due to a typhoon .

And I must say DAIGO looks really dashing in the above photo he uploaded via Twitter wow just wow *w*

LOVE STAGE!! - from manga to anime , officially confirmed

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...5-1024x726.jpg

This's a tip off from my sister since she's an anime junkie but yes it's officially confirmed that the LOVE STAGE!! manga will be getting a FULL length anime series in which it will be broadcast next year .

Way back in June , some brief sketchy details were written about it but at that time , nothing was set in stone ... until on Sat when this's confirmed at the Animate Girls’ Festival 2013 .

So far for now , nothing has been announced who will be voicing the character/s of the anime , let alone who will provide the opening and/or ending theme songs but mmm , DAIGO shouldn't you be involved in this , somewhat indirectly or so ? 8D

I mean , you should right ? If so how are you going to answer that to Eiki Eiki ? :p

Pic - AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” concert ticket

AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli”will not start until 15th Nov / Fri at Osaka's Music Club JANUS but fangirls being fangirls , they've already starting selling the concert tickets (illegally) via auction sites :

I thought the concert ticket for AKIHIDE 1st Live Tour 2013 “Amber” was so beautifully done but AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” is just a completely whole new different level .

2 pics of AKIHIDE at Tower Records Shibuya special mini live + talk ; 3rd Nov

An AKIHIDE 『Lapis Lazuli』Tower Records special mini live + talk session took place last night at Tower Records Shibuya B1F 「CUTUP STUDIO」as part of celebrating the release of AKIHIDE's 2nd album Lapis Lazuli .

Yesterday, Tower Records Shibuya uploaded 2 photos of AKIHIDE via their Twitter after the event concluded :

[3rd Nov] AKIHIDE 『Lapis Lazuli』Tower Records Special Event Mini Live setlist

An AKIHIDE 『Lapis Lazuli』Tower Records special mini live + talk session took place last night at Tower Records Shibuya B1F 「CUTUP STUDIO」as part of celebrating the release of AKIHIDE's 2nd album Lapis Lazuli .

And here're the songs that AKIHIDE played during the special mini live session , which includes :

1) Birthday
2) Okinawa
3) Kaze no Densetsu (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)
4) Rain
5) Tomorrow
6) Sekai wa Odoru (BREAKERZ)

https://twitter.com/jda_y27/status/396946343341457410

What a great setlist & wow at the non Lapis Lazuli songs that AKIHIDE chose to play & that includes Kaze no Densetsu from the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind anime + let alone for BREAKERZ's Sekai wa Odoru too :O

Somewhat or another , I feel that last night's mini live session sorta serves like a prelude before AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli”commences on 15th Nov at Osaka's Music Club JANUS but I'm sure the impending AKIHIDE Premium Night Show “Lapis Lazuli” will be great , let alone I'm curious to see what songs will AKIHIDE play too :)

Staff member mi updated the staff blog last Sun with 2 back to back blog entries in which mi wrote/talked about the latest updates on AKIHIDE's & DAIGO solo projects respectively .

For AKIHIDE ::

For DAIGO ::

Last Sat was the day when DAIGO's spacey hug event took place in Osaka . It was rescheduled after its original date of 16th Sept got cancelled as at that time it had to be done due to a typhoon .

mi uploaded this photo of DAIGO onstage with him addressing the audience before the spacey hug event took place :

With a hot outfit & great smile combination , it will be silly for me not to give DAIGO a hug personally should I have the chance to do that right ? ;D
