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 .

Despite having 2 guitarists in the group , AKIHIDE & SHINPEI have distinct display of flair with their guitar/s while onstage . AKIHIDE has been described as a guitarist that plays delicate pitch sounds & puts up unique performances while SHINPEI has been described as a guitarist who performs aggressively and powerfully .

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 .

In Spring 2013 , BREAKERZ went on hiatus in which each member pursued solo activities and after their 1st countdown live BREAKERZ COUNTDOWN LIVE 2014-2015 concluded , BREAKERZ announced that they were making a full comeback and restarted their band related activities in mid 2015 with the release of a new single , a new album & a new live tour which they dubbed it as the trilogy comeback .

BREAKERZ celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2017 with the release of Ikusen no Meikyuu de Ikusen no Nazo wo Toite in January followed by BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- which consists of them doing 10 concerts with 10 different artistes .

In July 2017 , BREAKERZ released their 18th single Yume Monogatari on 12th July . Before a duo back to back concert BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary 【BREAKERZ X】 MEMORY & PROMISE that took place on 15th and 16th July respectively , BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary Live 【BREAKERZ X】 Warming Up Vol.2 took place on 6th July which's 1 day after AKIHIDE's birthday .

In Oct 2017 , BREAKERZ released a 10th anniversary special album X (pronounces as Cross) on 18th Oct . X has 2 CDs , the 1st CD is titled 10th anniversary special collaboration album that includes 10 songs which BREAKERZ sang a different track during each of the 10 BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- concerts while the 2nd CD titled Request best includes 15 songs that fans selected/voted online as part of Fans' Select Best (in which each fan was able to vote a maximum of 3 songs to be included in X) .

In Nov & Dec 2017 , BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 【X-cross-】 commenced .

BREAKERZ starts off 2018 with the release of their 19th single D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- on 7th March and this is their 1st double A-side single release since 2012's Overwrite / Nounai Survivor .

The photos taken of DxDxD marks 3 different 1st's in the band's history

AKIHIDE - dyed his hair blonde
DAIGO - wore a red wig
SHINPEI - photographed without his trademark sunglasses

Following the release of D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- in March , the members celebrated DAIGO's 40th birthday on 8th April with BREAKERZ LIVE 2018 ~DAIGO's 40th BIRTHDAY~ .

The group's 2nd release of 2018 is BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary Live [BREAKERZ X] COMPLETE BOX that was released on 23rd May .

Solo activities of each member took place in conjunction with band related activities in 2018 until mid July .

In September , BREAKERZ embarked on BREAKERZ Fan Club Live 2018 & this tour was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the group's fanclub team brz since it 1st established on 1st September 2008 .

Consisting of 5 dates , 2 different concerts took place on each BREAKERZ Fan Club Live 2018 date ie. the 1st concert had an Acoustic Style while the 2nd concert had a Rock Style .

The last time the guys did a fanclub tour was TEAM BREAKERZ VALENTINE LIVE 2012 GO!GO! VALENTINE .

After BREAKERZ Fan Club Live 2018 concluded , solo activities of each member once again continued until the end of 2018 .

BREAKERZ resumes group activities in 2019 , starting with conducting their 1st fanclub BREAKERZ Valentine Cruise ♥ event that took place on 11th Feb .

BREAKERZ Valentine Cruise ♥ is a thank you event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of team brz establishment .

And the group's 1st concert of 2019 BREAKERZ LIVE 2019 ~Heisei Saigo no DAIGO's BIRTHDAY~ was held on 6th April at Tokyo's EX THEATER ROPPONGI , followed by the debut & last appearance of a new unit D.A.S :

https://i.postimg.cc/T1MKMhxK/2019-4...HDAY-mp4-2.jpg

D.A.S is a dance unit trio . Contrary to what most fans assume , D.A.S name is not based on each of the members' initials . Instead it stands for :

D - Destiny
A - Against
S - Sorrow

In D.A.S , AKIHIDE + DAIGO shared joint vocals while SHINPEI rapped with the 3 of them doing dancing co-currently together at the same time for 4 minutes onstage .

https://i.ibb.co/0YXYTgw/Chappy-8.jpg

https://image.ibb.co/ha8Cxv/Cpe_Ywg_QUIAAX_HD.jpg

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 :(

I received the 2 CDs limited version of AKIHIDE's Hoshikai no Shounen this morning

Songs in Hoshikai no Shounen which featured AKIHIDE singing in them include :

2) Hoshioi no Shoujo
3) Utsukushii Hitomi
6) Donguri
9) Arifureta Monogatari
10) Hoshikai no Shounen
12) Aozora

Hoshikai no Shounen follows the same album format as AKIHIDE's previous album Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- ie. 50% instrumental 50% with his singing vocals

Hoshioi no Shoujo & Hoshikai no Shounen are inter related with each other and Aozora is the oldest song in the album as AKIHIDE created it 20 years ago o_O

So for Aozora , it could have been included in NEVER LAND's discography but AKIHIDE didn't made a CD version of the song , until now

Barks on Wed published a long but yet insightful interview that they did with AKIHIDE in conjunction with the release of Hoshikai no Shounen

_kurosora @ Twitter translated some parts from the interview to English . Not the whole interview is translated but only certain portions that're interesting if not worth noting on

As with all translations , everything is not 100% accurate give or take

- AKIHIDE originally created 10 songs for Hoshikai no Shounen prior to the addition of Namida no Umi , Koete & Aozora

- Hoshikai no Shounen story plot this time round is less complicated than Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland-

- Hoshikai no Shounen story plot centres on a man & a woman from their 1st meeting until they had to part ways

- Hoshikai no Shounen story plot conveys AKIHIDE's weakness

- AKIHIDE : Why the male character shut himself & withdraw into a shell and ended up living with the night stars . I composed every song in Hoshikai no Shounen based on this idea

- Album colour concept wise AKIHIDE chose red as to show the fans a different and a new side of him . Another reason is because he wanted the jacket covers to stand out and catch people's attention

- AKIHIDE : I want to convey my views towards life & death . Like when a parting happens and the other person feels like "I have to keep going on , I have to be strong”. It's also 1 of my worries - parting & death and everyone experiences both

- AKIHIDE : My dad died before I turned 30 years old . I thought “he won't be back from the dead even if I kept praying” and I started to make many songs to feel better . This became one of my source of energy or reason behind making songs

- AKIHIDE : Arifureta Monogatari is a song that's related to the story plot in Hoshikai no Shounen but also it's for my fans

1 of the lyrics in Arifureta Monogatari is - Because I met you , you chose me

I can challenge many things in my solo career because of my fans & I can perform because they come to see me

AKIHIDE's 1st YouTube Live just finished which lasted under an hour :s

I did screencaps of the broadcast



Songs AKIHIDE played during his 1st YouTube Live :

Omohide Ryusei-gun
Hoshikai no Shounen
Jinsei no Merry Go Round (Hisaishi Joe)
Tsuki to Fune
Hoshioi no Shoujo

Frankly I'm a bit disappointed AKIHIDE only sung once which was for Hoshioi no Shoujo but I guess he didn't want to overwork his vocals in line with this weekend's release events where he had to do 2 mini live sessions back to back :s

Was surprised AKIHIDE also promoted & talked about his past solo releases briefly , be it when comes to his solo albums and even his books

As this was my 1st time watching something via YouTube Live , I wasn't sure if the footages would stay on YouTube after AKIHIDE's 1st YouTube Live session finished but quite surprised Being decided to leave everything up intact , for now

Other than what I already said in my previous post , AKIHIDE also briefly narrated the story line in association with Hoshikai no Shounen

With today's being the 1st YouTube Live session , hopefully for future BREAKERZ related ones if they plan to do , it wouldn't be so short :s

Also my mistake , Hoshikai no Shounen (the song) does not have any vocals sung by AKIHIDE , it's only Hoshioi no Shoujo D:

Perhaps AKIHIDE wanted to make 1 song solely instrumental while the other with an almost similar song title with vocals on purpose :confused

And the 2 live tracks from Hoshikai no Shounen regular version are really nice especially the live take of Yunagi no Parade :heart

AKIHIDE LIVE TOUR 2020 -Hoshikai no Shounen- will kick off this weekend at Motion Blue yokohama

http://akihide.com/special/7thal_hos...our_2020_goods

I'm surprised by this cos the 3 venues are venues that AKIHIDE have performed at before numerous times during his past solo concerts & tours

Why Being decided to implement new changes on purchase of AKIHIDE's concert goods , I have no idea :s

http://akihide.com/special/7thal_hos...our_2020_goods

Despite the changes in buying AKIHIDE LIVE TOUR 2020 -Hoshikai no Shounen- concert goods , the latest batch of items once again showcase how artistic talented AKIHIDE is

The latest Charity Pin Badge is quite amusing especially seeing that the Swan is a lot more bigger than Namida kun xD

The Adaptor Decoration Sticker(s) is probably 1 of the most random concert good I've seen cos I'm someone who does not like to 'pimp up' my IT gadgets' adaptors cos I like to keep things simple

And I like the 3 character drawings that're used in the Postcard Set , it's a bit of a shame that Being didn't use a different Hoshikai no Shounen promo picture of AKIHIDE cos I'm sure tons of photos were taken during the jacket shooting of the album :s

While the Bag Hanger & Chopsticks Set are practical to use but I can't see myself using them cos I worry I might break them :x

The design of the power bank is so nice , a pity that the power bank's voltage is so little but I suppose if the voltage is higher , the price charged will be higher too :O

Lastly even though I will not buy the Long Sleeve T-shirt , it's so cool that the characters that AKIHIDE created over the years were used to form the A alphabet and it's not a simple A being used on the T-shirt design wise

KarenPang 21st January 2020 08:32 AM

Hoshikai no Shounen debuts at number 30 and sold 2,080 copies in its 1st week of release :

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/6454821903

That's good for AKIHIDE as Hoshikai no Shounen's 1st week sales and position both were higher than Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland-

Proof that doing release events to get the word out for AKIHIDE and/or BREAKERZ's releases do help

Some translated parts of the interview from the final chapter 3 of the special interview regarding AKIHIDE's Hoshikai no Shounen

- Hoshikai no Shounen originally supposed to have 8 songs only but as AKIHIDE kept doing recording , he realised 8 songs is not enough

- Track 5 Saisho no Bansan -- AKIHIDE described it as an unusual instrumental that has a pop sound

- Track 6 Donguri -- it's rare to see AKIHIDE play another music instrument that's not a guitar & it was the 1st time for him to play the banjo which banjo sounds could be heard in Donguri

In fact , bassist Sunapanng who participated in the recording of the album was the 1 who suggested to AKIHIDE to try his hand in playing the banjo

https://i.ibb.co/tQzj9Hp/220120-3.jpg

- Track 7 Sweet & Bitter Days -- this instrumental has a Bossa Nova flair and AKIHIDE asked the staff for their opinion if this should be included in Hoshikai no Shounen

- Track 11 Namida no Umi , Koete -- the members & staff really like this track

For members , I don't know if AKIHIDE refers to DAIGO & SHINPEI or his backup musicians :s

- Track 12 Aozora -- AKIHIDE 1st played the song during towards the end of AKIHIDE “SOLO” LIVE NAKED MOON -X’mas Edition- & he 1st created it 16 years ago

For this song , AKIHIDE at 1st did not want to play it during AKIHIDE “SOLO” LIVE NAKED MOON -X’mas Edition- as it was a song he mainly played at home but he decided to do so cos he felt it fit the theme of the Christmas concert despite the sad undertone of Aozora , lyrics wise :x

AKIHIDE updated his blog today which this 2nd paragraph of his blog entry stood out

Quite obvious AKIHIDE was talking about yasu even though he didn't name dropped yasu's name

The guys & other artistes last month performed at COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20

COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20 took place on the last 4 days of 2019 at Chiba's Makuhari Messe & Event Hall

For BREAKERZ , it was their 1st time performing at COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20

WOWOW will broadcast COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20 footages next month & for BREAKERZ , Day 1 footages of COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20 will be aired on 18th Feb :

2/18(火)夜9:00 「COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20」の全4日間の模様がWOWOWで約15時間半にわたって放送!

※BREAKERZの模様は、2/18(火)DAY-1にオンエアになります。

DAY-1 2/18(火)夜9:00
DAY-2 2/19(水)夜9:00
DAY-3 2/20(木)夜9:00
DAY-4 2/21(金)夜9:00

https://www.wowow.co.jp/detail/111292

I highly doubt WOWOW will air the guys' full performance especially since based on past experiences , normally for such music events , TV shows usually do not air an artiste's full performance set except if it's a live stream broadcast like a-nation

Then again it beats having 0 footages to begin with :s

It will be really good if WOWOW will air 2 of the guys' performances from their 1st COUNTDOWN JAPAN 19/20 performance but probably it'll be only 1 but we'll see if I'm right or wrong about this in due time

今日はHYDEさんの誕生日!

ジャパニーズメリークリスマス!

いつも感謝しかありません!

去年は誕生日の瞬間同じ空間に入れて幸せだったなあ!

その模様は今日リリースの黒ミサで観てね!! みんなでお祝いしましょう!

かっこよくて優しくて最強の神にずっとついていきます!

おめでとうございます‼️

Yesterday was hyde's birthday

Just like yasu , DAIGO has his own 'unique' way of honouring hyde on his birthday a few years ago

Screencaps of this week's VS ARASHI featuring DAIGO in the opponent team

Beginning of the show prior to playing the 1st game , Bomber Striker

https://i.postimg.cc/GtftXx6P/VSA-310120-1.jpg

ZK o_O

Games that DAIGO played as part of the opponent team

- Bomber Striker
- Balance Shooting
- Kicking Sniper

Same as before , before Balance Shooting was played , DAIGO talked about Keiko yet again x)

This time round , DAIGO shared on VS ARASHI that Keiko recently cut her hair into a bob like style & that's for in line on a new movie titled First Love that she'll be starring in which will be released next year

https://i.postimg.cc/Qd1Cq5m5/VSA-310120-2.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/hGnjZjZY/VSA-310120-3.jpg

Sakurai was like eh ain't you doing free PR for your wife again & DAIGO played dumb and said is this counted as so ? xD

After the media got wind that Keiko has cut her hair , someone asked Keiko was her haircut inspired by DAIGO as her hair length now is about the same as his

https://i.postimg.cc/zXLVV4Rx/VSA-310120-4.jpg

Keiko's response was a flat out no & DAIGO is the 1 that mimic her new hairstyle , not him

https://i.postimg.cc/2j91jC3q/VSA-310120-5.jpg

:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

Rock Shoot failed DAIGO yet again during Kicking Sniper +_+

And of course this has to happen

https://i.postimg.cc/Dzcz9Ttw/VSA-310120-6.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/sDt1SKYs/VSA-310120-7.jpg

Saying of the infamous DGDG - DAIGO大誤算 ; DAIGO Dai Gosan is back which DAIGO uttered for the 1st time during the new Reiwa era :rofl

Sakurai was trying his best not to laugh so hard behind the backdrop before DAIGO said what DGDG meant cos he already knew what it means :roflmao

And of course that backfired xD

Quite rare for a concert in Japan to start relatively late , even percussionist Toyoda Minoru echo the same sentiment
