Additional information
BARABARA :
Chosen to promote the upcoming new Youkai Ningen Bela movie which will open in Japan's cinemas on 11th Sept
Prior to BARABARA , the only other time AKIHIDE & DAIGO had joint writing credits was for SECRET GIRL in their 2009 / 4th album FIGHTERZ
LOVE STAGE :
Chosen to promote the LOVE STAGE !! live action movie which originally was supposed to open in Japan's cinemas last month on 5th June
The movie's release date has since been postponed due to COVID-19 . The new rescheduled release date for the movie has not been announced yet
DAIGO has a bit role in the movie which he plays SHOGO of CRUSHERZ . No word for now how long he will be featured in the movie
This's the 1st song for DAIGO & SHINPEI to have joint writing credits . Before that they had joint composing credits for Everlasting Luv
For now , it's not known how different or the same it will be with regards to the BREAKERZ & CRUSHERZ versions of LOVE STAGE
The guys' past double A-side singles are normally a lot more better than their standalone single releases & I really liked D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- a great deal
That said , this's the most quirky image the guys have image wise since hEaVeN and it's interesting Being is pushing more for BARABARA to get centrestage billing unlike LOVE STAGE
Also I thought it was a 1 off thing for SHINPEI not to wear his sunglasses in DxDxD but guess not x)
Hilariously when I saw SHINPEI in the photos , I was like GLAY's HISASHI ? xD
Unlike their past single releases , not only there's no trading card issued for BARABARA / LOVE STAGE , only 1 regular version is made available
For now , the guys look downright bad ass & DAIGO looked convincingly scary
And of course you have to get Eiki Eiki to draw BREAKERZ as CRUSHERZ , xD
