[BREAKERZ] 18th thread ~ Hiatus + guitarist AKIHIDE's 2nd album Lapis Lazuli (30.10)

[KarenPang]

A 33 seconds PV preview snippet of DAIGO's Mugen∞REBIRTH has been uploaded via the guys's official YouTube site



Mugen∞REBIRTH is the 2nd A-side of DAIGO's impending debut solo single Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen ∞REBIRTH which will be released on 31st July .

I wasn't able to wake up on time last Sun morning to watch the PV preview live on the net xD but wow the PV preview for Mugen ∞REBIRTH looks so cool D:

And I'm not that surprised both Cardfight!! Vanguard self's of DAIGO made appearances in the PV preview since Mugen ∞REBIRTH is used to promote Cardfight!! Vanguard to begin with , which makes perfect sense x)

Black DAIGO still looks so good *__* & I'm already excited to see the full PV of Mugen ∞REBIRTH in due time

Let alone for the PV preview snippet for Itsumo Dakishimete too !

The PV preview snippet for DAIGO's Itsumo Dakishimete is scheduled to be aired tomorrow morning on 11th July via Fuji TV's Mezamashi TV :

「いつも抱きしめて」Music Clip初公開!!

Mezamashi TV will be airing the PV preview snippet for Itsumo Dakishimete but unlike last Sun morning when the PV preview for Mugen ∞REBIRTH was aired in a rather ok timing (from 10am+ Japan time) , for tomorrow , the Itsumo Dakishimete PV preview will be aired from 5.25am Japan time onwards O__O

It's kinda understood since Mezamashi TV is a morning programme but wow no way am I going to wake up so early just to view it cos if I do , I have to wake up at 4am+ just to tune in online on the net to see it since Japan is ahead of Singapore by an hour .

For this , I will wait for the Itsumo Dakishimete PV preview snippet to be uploaded via the guys's official YouTube site xD

[KarenPang]

DAIGO's debut solo single Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH will not get released until exactly 3 weeks later on 31st July but ZAIN RECORDS being ZAIN RECORDS , shrewd marketing tactic has come again from them ~_~

Ah damn you ZAIN RECORDS xD Much as I like the DAIGO original clear file , it's essentially the same pictures used of DAIGO as both CD + DVD A & B of Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH but then again there's always online auction sites to rely on so *muses

DAIGO☆STARDUST concert goods list

http://daigo-official.net/news/news_020.html

- http://minlilin.livejournal.com/962626.html (the last 2 items)

finally finally finally DAIGO☆STARDUST is coming back tomorrow after a 6 years hiatus which he's so going to kick some serious ass at his sold out Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST which will be held at Tokyo's Shibuya Public Hall

Eien ni Spacey indeed （≧∇≦）

[KarenPang]

DAIGO☆STARDUST is finally finally finally coming back today after a 6 years hiatus which he's so going to kick some serious ass at his sold out Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST which will be held at Tokyo's Shibuya Public Hall later on tonight



明日のライブのために スペイシーネイルにしてもらったぜ！ クールANDスペイシー（≧∇≦）

http://p.twipple.jp/3zgOU

Eien ni Spacey indeed （≧∇≦）& I so can't wait to see the setlist of today's Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST in due time woo !

[KarenPang]

SHINPEI attended melodic punk band TOTALFAT's live house concert on Wed & he took this photo together with the band's drummer , Bunta :

https://twitter.com/shinpei_brz/stat...50017167028224

I echo the same thing as SHINPEI . I think the tank top design going in Bunta's is quite interesting to say the least x)

At least SHINPEI sounded in that he had a lot of fun at their concert on Wed

[12th July] Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST setlist

4) STARS
5) D☆TRANCE
6) Feather
7) dear sunshine
8) heavy heavy
9) HELLO CRAZY GENTLEMAN

https://twitter.com/ka_two_sha/statu...82435352109058
https://twitter.com/ka_two_sha/statu...82421112438784
https://twitter.com/ka_two_sha/statu...82355551289344

As expected , a lot of classic DAIGO☆STARDUST songs & awesome he kicked things off with MARIA

3 encores is very generous coming from DAIGO☆STARDUST & in general I'm really happy with the choice of songs DAIGO☆STARDUST did , although I prefer he would do more B-sides songs as it's a bit unfair he only did Feather as he has other great B-sides other than Feather , such as ASH & DIAMONDS + Sakura no Kinoshita de .

Would have been amusing should he sang Ice Tea no Uta but DAIGO already sang it in his DAIGO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY 35 ♥Arafou Demo DAI Suki♥ on his 35th birthday so :p

Also here're the names of the members that backed up DAIGO☆STARDUST onstage :

【サポートメンバー】
★ドラム ムタさん
★キーボード チャリーさん
★ベース マツくん
★ギター レナさん

【Support members】

★Drummer - Muta
★Keyboards - Charlie
★Bass - MATSU
★Guitar - Rena

Yup MATSU backed up DAIGO☆STARDUST onstage just now , the very same MATSU who has been a supporting bassist for BREAKERZ alongside with supporting drummer MAKOTOT from day 1 until now

The next comeback concert Kaette Yuku DAIGO☆STARDUST will take place less than 2 weeks later , same timing , same venue with it also sold out as well .

Wouldn't surprise me if the setlist for Kaette Yuku DAIGO☆STARDUST will be almost the same as Kaette Kita DAIGO☆STARDUST x)

[KarenPang]

Finally after 6 long years , DAIGO has changed his blog header



http://ameblo.jp/daigoblog/

Uwa *_____* At long last , DAIGO has finally changed his blog header which he's now using the CD + DVD A cover shot for his debut solo single Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen ∞REBIRTH <3 <3 <3

It's crazy that DAIGO did this after 6 long years (not counting the time when he endorsed Ameba Pigg's line of parka that he had a hand in designing & let alone endorsing) , as unlike SHINPEI who changes his blog header so frequently , for me to keep on seeing DAIGO's old CRASH & BUILD promo picture as his blog header , it's just so dated man xD

But as the saying goes , good things are definitely worth waiting for *w*

Oops , apparently this was released very late Thu night if not I wouldn't have posted about this only like now :x

At 1st , there was only 17 concert goods in the DAIGO☆STARDUST concert goods list but seems actually there's an 18th o_O

And it's quite cute if not amusing for that matter xD

I present to you ...

LOL only DAIGO☆STARDUST can do something like this & can get away with it xD I can't imagine getting this & wearing it down the street , it will be very amusing o_O

[KarenPang]

Pictures of DAIGO promoting some DAIGO☆STARDUST concert goods

All the 3 pictures are taken from DAIGO☆STARDUST concert goods list & same thing , I guess these pictures were only included late Thurs night :3

DAIGO wearing the Spacey T-shirt



He looks very normal here :p

DAIGO holding the Yatto... Aeta ne ♥ Cushion



xD xD xD The Yatto... Aeta ne ♥ Cushion is still so very funny to me hahahaha & I'm actually surprised the cushion itself is ... small ?

DAIGO holding 2 of the Gachagacha (capsule machine) hand towels



Aww that's so cute <3 It's Eien no Space Cowboy DAIGO☆STARDUST in chibi form , adorable ^____^

[KarenPang]

In the wee hours of Thurs morning , Mezanyuu aired the PV preview snippet for DAIGO's Itsumo Dakishimete :



Uwa DAIGO's hairstyle is so nice *____* & the PV concept of Itsumo Dakishimete is based upon a road trip date with a girlfriend , how cute xD

The hairstyle that DAIGO has in those scenes of him wearing white - *___*

Itsumo Dakishimete is definitely very different from what Mugen∞REBIRTH offers & that's what I like about double A-side singles from the guys as it allows them to showcase different music style with 2 different PVs . What's there not to like about it ?

Ah why can't 31st July be tomorrow xD xD xD

[KarenPang]

What has happened to your eyes , DAIGO☆STARDUST ? xD



http://ameblo.jp/0825y/entry-11571495859.html

xD xD xD

[KarenPang]

Before DAIGO made his solo debut as DAIGO☆STARDUST 10 years ago , he actually released a couple of indie releases & let's just say that at that time , both the image(s) + singing voice of pre DAIGO☆STARDUST were really really really bad xD

Here's a list of indie releases DAIGO released prior to him debuting as DAIGO☆STARDUST . All information are taken from http://d.hatena.ne.jp/bigcrow/20080722/p1

Spoiler:

1st Indie Single - The space toy
20th Nov 2001
GRCD-005 (glam&glitter RECORDS)



1) STARS
2) Bluzy Night
3) 蒼い風 ; Aoi Kaze

2nd Indie Single - The space kiss
1st March 2002
GRCD-006 (glam&glitter RECORDS)



1) Queen Stardust
2) Animal Creep
3) Feather

3rd Indie Single - The space age
21st June 2002
GRCD-007 (glam&glitter RECORDS)



1) dear sunshine
2) NEVER ANSWER
3) ASH&DIAMONDS

Aside from 3 indie singles , DAIGO released a mini album before he debuted as DAIGO☆STARDUST

Mini Indie Album - The space hunter (CD-R)
24th May 2002



1) STARS ~PUKAPUKA MIX~
2) Animal Creep ~SPACE HUNTER MIX~
3) 蒼い風 ~DB?? MIX~ ; Aoi Kaze ~DB?? MIX~
4) Animal Creep ~1.DT MIX~

@_@ @_@ @_@

Wow oh wow , nostalgic much DAIGO ? xD & yes I personally have both indie singles of The space toy & The space kiss (which I received on Thurs) but I didn't know that DAIGO actually released 3 indie singles in total (all the while I thought it was 2) & that goes for a mini album too .

But man I thought the images DAIGO☆STARDUST portrayed were scary but pre debut is much much more up there ? o_O

Most of the songs that DAIGO recorded before his solo debut , ended up in DAIGO☆STARDUST's official discography & for me to listen to those songs , they sound like a completely different person .

DAIGO's singing voice at that time was really bad if not very raw/hoarse/poor . He definitely has improved his singing voice a great deal over the past 11-12 years but it feels so strange for me to listen to these songs right now after all these years :O

Ironically , the songs that didn't ended up in DAIGO☆STARDUST's official discography are somewhat the better sounding ones out of the lot , such as for Aoi Kaze . Animal Creep is actually not bad but Bluzy Night doesn't make any single sense to me xD

On the other hand , those songs which were eventually included in DAIGO☆STARDUST's official discography , the pre debut versions are just really terrible . Case in point , I really like Feather + ASH&DIAMONDS but the pre debut versions for both songs are just very hard for me to swallow :x

Also it's interesting that in The space toy indie single , under the credits section , it wasn't credited as DAIGO but instead it's written as 大湖 . Same pronunciation but different in writing . It's only in The space kiss indie single , it was credited as DAIGO☆STARDUST .

With that said , when I saw/read this link , it was quite ... educational ? haha DAIGO has definitely come a long way that's for sure

[KarenPang]

Last Sat's MUSIC LAUNCHER aired/talked about the guys's solo activities :



DAIGO - MUSIC LAUNCHER aired a much more longer PV preview for Mugen∞REBIRTH in which it looks really really top notch . The budget is definitely much higher than any of DAIGO☆STARDUST's PVs haha

AKIHIDE - Hoshi no Kyousoukyoku PV snippet was aired

SHINPEI - Runner's High live performance snippet was aired , which was recorded from MUSCLE ATTACK's 1st live performance MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.1~ that took place on 11th May / SHINPEI's 32nd birthday at Tokyo's Roppongi morph-tokyo

MUSCLE ATTACK LIVE ~Basic Training vol.2~ will be taking place this coming Fri at Tokyo's Shibuya Chelsea Hotel

[KarenPang]

Oh SHINPEI xD



Caption included - タワレコにきゃりーぱみゅぱみゅさんがいらっしゃったので2ショットお願いしたら快く引き受けてくれました ★

http://p.twipple.jp/CiAER

LOL at SHINPEI whom posed right besides Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's Tower Records standee , it's very amusing to say the least o_O xD

Who says SHINPEI doesn't know how to have fun if not lighten up from time to time :p

[Bigtop]

Regarding Kyary...does it look like actual size?

[KarenPang]

The latest July 12th issue of Only★Star magazine wrote about artistes that readers voted that they want to marry .

There're a total of 4 different categories that Only★Star had included in which 1 of them centres on Talento's .

【オリ★スタ読者が選んだ 結婚したいタレント TOP5】

1位 ウエンツ瑛士…20人 ; WaT's Wentz Eiji
2位 DAIGO（BREAKERZ）…19人
3位 つるの剛士…16人 ; Tsuruno Takeshi
4位 JOY…15人
5位 上地雄輔…11人 ; Kamiji Yusuke

http://zasshi.news.yahoo.co.jp/artic...358-orista-ent

Wow DAIGO at #2 overall , not bad xD although I'm frankly more surprised that WaT's Wentz is ranked #1 overall o_O

Let alone , Tsuruno Takeshi is the only 1 in the list who's married unlike the other 4 :p

But sorry man DAIGO , much as you drive me crazy on a daily basis , I will not marry you ... only if you change your over possessive jealous streak nature then I will consider :x

It's really such a shame , it's not as if DAIGO's ugly to begin with D: I guess his past relationships with his ex girlfriends was the root cause of everything . If not , most if not all his ex girlfriends wouldn't have been the ones that dumped him & not the opposite o_O
