[KarenPang]

Today it was announced that 3 songs from AKIHIDE's Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- will be released online digitally for sale tomorrow onwards prior to the album's physical release on 20th June

The 3 songs that will be made available for online purchase are the 1st 3 songs in Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- ie.

- Planetarium
- Ghost
- My Little Clock

Psyched & no surprises I look forward to hear the full version of Ghost . Really hope it's a song that AKIHIDE sung in full from start to end

[KarenPang]

Preview snippets for 3 songs from AKIHIDE's Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- have been uploaded online via iTunes Japan & Recochoku

The 3 songs that already can be purchased online now are the 1st 3 songs in Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- ie.

- Planetarium
- Ghost
- My Little Clock

All the preview snippets sounds great . Preview of Planetarium sounded a lot more complex than I thought

I had vibes of NEVER LAND's Amai Kaori regarding the preview of My Little Clock except in this case , AKIHIDE unfortunately didn't sang together with Renge :x

Oh well at least AKIHIDE is singing in Ghost

That said , I'm really excited to hear the full versions of all 3 songs once my friend help me buy them online & then upload them for me subsequently

[KarenPang]

My friend helped me buy AKIHIDE's Planetarium , Ghost & My Little Clock songs digitally via Recochoku

I love all the 3 songs as they sound different from each other . As expected I was most excited to hear Ghost out of the 3 as it has been way too long for AKIHIDE not to sing again

So glad AKIHIDE 'broke' that curse . Planetarium is so complex with so many different type of sounds in just 1 song . 1 moment it's calm , the next it's right out angst in your face

My Little Clock is nice too but this's the weak link out of the 3 , not that it's bad

Real excited to hear the other 9 songs in Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- now

I listened the three songs you sent me. My view is the opposite of yours. XD My favourite is My Little Clock. I like the wild instrumentation blended with the soft ethereal and melodic vocal that reminds me Maaya Sakamoto's melodies a lot.
Overall the three songs are really experimental. I'm eager to hear the rest of the album.

Heh heh heh

Yeah I'm very surprised how experimental the 3 songs are & they're a lot more complex than I thought , in a good way

AKIHIDE has a very different & much more indepth artistic approach when comes to composing melodies unlike the other 2 which's not a bad thing as each of them brings something different to the table

AKIHIDE & other musicians yesterday performed at Legend Guitarist vol.3 ~Reunion~ which the concert took place at Tokyo's Zepp DiverCity

This Twitter user attended Legend Guitarist vol.3 ~Reunion~ and posted a photo of the setlist flyer

Just like last month's MUSCLE ATTACK 5th Anniversary LIVE , purchase 3,000 Yen worth of MUSCLE ATTACK's CDs and/or concert goods at next week's MUSCLE ATTACK × M&M special collaboration tour ~MMM vol.2~ will entitle each person to receive a Muscle Card

A Muscle Card doubles up as a playing card and each Muscle Card will have different photos/descriptions written , be it about MUSCLE ATTACK and/or the members

For the Muscle Card giveaway , the design is randomly allocated (not allowed to choose) & they're available while stocks last

Fans will not receive any Muscle Card if they purchase M&M concert goods and/or MUSCLE ATTACK × M&M collaboration goods

It's also mentioned today that new designs have been added to the Muscle Card(s) :

MUSCLE ATTACK × M&M has created a 2nd collaboration song titled BITTER TEARS

BITTER TEARS is the 2nd song that both groups have worked together after they released Hallelujah!! 2 years ago

The cover + preview snippet of BITTER TEARS has been uploaded online inclusive of the song writing/composing/arrangement credits



Word：SHINPEI　Music：SHINPEI & Matsu
Arrangement：SHINPEI & Matsu

For now it's not known if physical CD copies of BITTER TEARS will be sold at next week's MUSCLE ATTACK × M&M special collaboration tour ~MMM vol.2~ but chances of both groups performing BITTER TEARS is pretty high

The female vocalist who sang on AKIHIDE's My Little Clock , her name is Renka and she tweeted her thoughts in providing her vocals in My Little Clock :

この度憧れの先輩、BREAKERZのギタリストAKIHIDEさんの、6/20に発売されるアルバムの一曲「My Little Clock」を歌わせて頂きまして、大変光栄です。世界観が素晴らしいこの曲に酔いしれながら歌いました。 皆さんぜひ聴いてください。🌹蓮花

https://twitter.com/renka_official/s...51083338686464

Interestingly , Renka is also managed by Being which's the same company that manages the guys

Makes sense on why Renka called AKIHIDE a senior

Backup musicians for AKIHIDE MUSIC THEATER Electric Wonderland

Bass ：Sunapanng
Drums ：Kido Hiroshi
Keyboards ：Kobayashi Takegorou
Saxaphone : Nakamura Shouhei

Guest vocalist : Renka

http://akihide.com/special/ewl_live/index.html#member

Sunapanng & Kobayashi Takegorou have backed AKIHIDE up several times , most recent was for AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE -Spring- Watage no Gondola

This's the 2nd time Kido Hiroshi will back AKIHIDE up drums wise , the 1st time was for AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE 2018 -Spring- Watage no Gondola while for Nakamura Shouhei , the last time he backed AKIHIDE up saxaphone wise was AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE -Autumn- Zyugoya Merry Go Round

Lastly , Renka will be appearing in next month's AKIHIDE MUSIC THEATER Electric Wonderland as a guest vocalist & seeing that she provided her vocals for My Little Clock (Track 3 in Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland-) , it's safe to say that My Little Clock will be in the setlist
