2013-06-19 18:06:00
BREAKERZ's vocalist DAIGO will be resuming his solo activities by releasing a new single, "Itsumo Dakishimete / Mugen∞REBIRTH", on July 31st.
On June 19, he held a public recording at a studio in Tokyo, where he appealed, "I want to use the three pillars for my solo career. They are 'make good music', 'sing good songs', and 'hold good lives'. I name it the 'DAIGO mix'. He continued, "I want to surpass myself from 10 years ago."
DAIGO made his solo debut as 'DAIGO☆STARDUST' in July of 2003 with the song, "MARIA", which was provided by Himuro Kyosuke. BREAKERZ celebrated their 5th anniversary last year, and in April the members decided to each pursue their solo careers in order for the band to grow.
DAIGO reflected on his previous solo activities saying, "Like my name, I became stardust." He further expressed, "This time, I want to do my best with my solo activities as 'DAIGO'. I want to have revenge on 10 years ago."
While DAIGO seemed to be excited about his solo activities, he stated, "The members were always there during recording, so I feel lonely." He added, "This year, I will focus on solo work."
This day was also the death anniversary of DAIGO's grandfather, former Prime Minister Takeshita Noboru. He revealed, "I told him'ittekumasu' (I'm off) at the Buddhist altar."
