FIGHTERZ is BREAKERZ's 4th album . It was releasd last Wed on 2nd Dec & this comes in almost a year since the release of their previous album BIG BANG ! .

All the singles that the guys released this year all made the cut in FIGHTERZ . They started to incorporate B-sides this year too but you will not find any of them in here .

FIGHTERZ debuted at #7 with 1st week sales of 20,564 copies & it ranked a notch higher than BIG BANG ! , making FIGHTERZ the trio's most successful album in terms of chart ranking & this's their 2nd album to attain top 10 status ranking as well .

This album was released as part of their triple 3 months trilogy campaign . Oct 14th saw the release of their 1st DVD BREAKERZ LIVE 2009 "WISH" in Nippon Budokan while on 4th Nov , they released their 7th single LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no (Love) Battle~ & then finally last Wed , their 4th album FIGHTERZ dropped .

THEME OF FIGHTERZ is the 1st track to kick things off & this's their 1st album to have an instrumental piece for an opening , something that wasn't found in their previous albums at all .

Composed by guitarist SHINPEI , he described THEME OF FIGHTERZ in that this's the first time BREAKERZ has composed an orchestra sound , an instrumental work .

THEME OF FIGHTERZ begins with a melody which bears resemblances a battle scene of warriors & it utilises many instruments like a violin , a guitar & a hum .

I have to say THEME OF FIGHTERZ is probably the best opening track I came across this year & it's a pity that it's quite short at 37 seconds but it sets the bar on what you should expect as you run though the album in later course .

With this , THEME OF FIGHTERZ flows extremely well to the 1st album track titled NEXT LEVEL .

NEXT LEVEL presents a totally different side of BREAKERZ that I never seen (heard) before . SHINPEI described it as an attack song & states that "This song is by any chance an unexpected song" which I feel he basically summed up about NEXT LEVEL .

It's no Shakunetsu (Burning) but the moment when I 1st heard the preview of NEXT LEVEL , I know it somehow or another this's going to be something that will totally rock things out literally & my prayers were answered when I finally got to hear the full version of the tune .

NEXT LEVEL is pure love & credits has to go to frontman DAIGO who wrote & compose this ace tune .

The FIGHTERZ MIX of their 7th single LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ is found as track #3 & there's not much significant change as compared to the single version .

In here , you can hear DAIGO's echo voices pepping though the background of LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ .

Still , LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ is something I truly enjoyed as when you have DAIGO writing this & SHINPEI composing it , you know crazy things like this will bound to happen LOL

The entertainment side of BREAKERZ can be felt a lot greatly in this song which has a lot of boxing jargons & perhaps it's no surprises that it's a danceable rock number & to me I feel it's good to put out such a no. once in a while .

LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ is a dance tune but various rock guitar riffs can be felt quite significantly here & it no doubt has a good rhythm coupled with a violent rock guitar sound with a pop feeling thrown in for good measures .

SUPER-HI-TENSION !! is the 2nd album track & if you realised this has quite an Americanised flair to it .

The reason on why so is because when DAIGO came back from Los Angeles , he brought back a souvenir : a cute crab plushie (don't ask) & the demo for this no. .

This's not a typical song the guys will usually do seeing that it's basically a pop/rock song but still I like it as it basically tend to raise my mood pretty nicely & I feel the ending of the song sounded a bit like their 4th single GRAND FINALE to a certain extent .

The only gripe I find about SUPER-HI-TENSION !! is DAIGO's English command which can be a bit grating but this doesn't stop me from enjoying SUPER-HI-TENSION !! at the end of the day .

A trvia fact about this song is that prior to getting a title , Go Go L.A. was initally used as the working title before they eventually settled for SUPER-HI-TENSION !! .

The next 2 songs are tunes that the guys have already released in the form of their 5th single Everlasting Luv / BAMBINO ~Bambino~ which was released on the same day as DAIGO's 31st birthday .

The 2nd A-side was used in the hair wax company men's Palty ad which DAIGO appeared in the ad .

Just like LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ , BAMBINO ~Bambino~ has received an album mix in the form of the FIGHTERZ Version .

Compared to the single version , you can hear the sound of a pair of champagne glasses clinking in the beginning & then a 15 seconds hot sexy trumpet latin piece can be heard moments later before the song starts .

I still can remembered when the guys 1st released BAMBINO ~Bambino~ alongside with Everlasting Luv , I was totally shocked because this's their 1st single no. that they released that's not a straight rock no. & really with SHINPEI onboard who's responsible for composing it , I guess only the unexpected can be well expected ?

Still you can't deny that this's 1 hot latin rock song that's so full of passion ! . Not many people knows this but the last part of the song where DAIGO sang the whole SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE MY SOUL , before that was incorporated , they temporarily used 'Sum~mer par~ty night' which I find it cute .

From the 2nd A-side to the 1st A-side , this brings the guys back to what they basically does best aka a no frills straight up rock no. !

Everlasting Luv served as the 26th opening theme song for the anime Detective Conan .

DAIGO was involved in the Detective Conan movie Detective Conan : The Raven Chaser in which he voiced Mizutani Kousuke .

In the demo of Everlasting Luv , it was actually a beautiful acoustic guitar piece but DAIGO had an idea to let guitarist AKIHIDE's guitar to basically let it rip super big time in here which eventually that idea bears fruit .

Compared to all the singles that they included in FIGHTERZ , Everlasting Luv is the guys's most rock out there no. & this's something that I always never fail to put it on repeat mode every single time .

What's there not to love about this song anyway eh ?

SECRET GIRL is track #7 & this's a really hot hot hot song & it's probably 1 of my fave album tracks in FIGHTERZ .

This was apparently first written by AKIHIDE , but DAIGO rewrote it from a girl's point of view & is deemed a super erotic song (don't ask) .

Despite this , both their names are credited together in the writing credits section on the CD sleeves of FIGHTERZ .

Aside from the lyrics , the melody is just super sexy & this's probably the 1st time that they have went for a jazzy influence no. & you have to credit to AKIHIDE for composing such a great infectious tune .

Just like NEXT LEVEL , when I 1st heard the preview of SECRET GIRL , I was like oh my such a fun sexy tune & for me to hear the full version finally , I was no doubt impressed with it .

Bokura (Us) is track #8 & ah this's quite an old school no. which I warmed up to . The beginning of Bokura has an old fashioned harmonica which's pretty cool .

This's basically a song that has a strong message in uniting people & I somehow can feel it after listening to Bokura & the ending of the song that DAIGO goes lalala adds a nice touch for sure .

There's some weird-ad libbing after the 1st chorus concluded which I'm not sure if that's done purposely or not by DAIGO though .

A trivia fact surrounding Bokura is that DAIGO mentioned in an interview that he wrote & composed this song after a drinking session with the other 2 , during the course of which , they started crying . SHINPEI denies remembering that such a thing happened , however .

Hatsukoi (First Love) Trampoline is basically a no nonsense rock song coupled with shades of pop !

This's a cool song that DAIGO sings about youth & the chorus are no doubt catchy & really cheery for that matter which bound to put a smile to your face after you listen to it .

The next 2 album tracks are solely written & composed by AKIHIDE .

Orion is track #10 & I got chills down my spine after I listened to it . I thought last year when he wrote/composed Aitakute (I Want To Meet You) in BIG BANG ! was awesome but I take back my statement after I listened to Orion .

I just like the way this beautiful album ballad goes & DAIGO sounded so emotional driven in this piano & gutiar driven no. is & a slight splash of percussion beats is thrown in for good measures .

From the beginning to the end , you gets to experience how's AKIHIDE's world like which's what Orion represents .

What's remarkable about Orion is that only 12 notes were utilised which's impressive .

To shed a bit more light on Orion , according to SHINPEI , when you listen to it , you feel that you're going to a world where everything is wrong .

You reach out your hand , and you seize the sadness , but more than anything it's about the beautiful and gentle wish you make to the starry sky .

In Orion's case , you reach this starry sky & a coloured star is humming the melody . And you slowly close your eyes , it makes you travel to freedom .

At any time , anywhere , at a moment you like & it's a special seat for only you .

It sounds quite deep but this's how much of a (mad) genius AKIHIDE can be sometimes which I respect that in him .

From Orion , in comes a 2nd AKIHIDE writing/composition in the form of Snow Rose .

Man just like Orion , Snow Rose is really beautiful & in here he utilises a violin in the backdrop & coupled that with fierce guitar riffs , the final product gives you this stunning mid tempo no. .

Like a blizzard , the drum beats and bass riffs make this song stood out a lot more .

DEAR LIAR is track #12 & in here AKIHIDE has a hand in composing it while DAIGO provided the lyrics for the song .

I find DEAR LIAR to be a really stylish song & it just screams out cool all over the place .

It's a pretty standard rock fare but the guys make this work in their favour big time & the somewhat distorted guitar riffs going on in DEAR LIAR adds a great edge to the song .

GRAND FINALE is BREAKERZ's 4th single & it was used as the ending theme song for the TBS program "J-SPORTS SUPER SOCCER PLUS" .

The song deals with the theme of graduation .

The introduction represents the BREAKERZ's members : the TEAM BREAKERZ (name of their fanclub) .

I remembered reading a fan concert report that DAIGO broke down onstage when he belted this no. out during the encore of their BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2009 GRAND FINALE ~Seishun Days~ so it's quite obvious that this song has a lot of significant meaning to them .

Hikari (Light) is the guys's 6th single & it served as the 34th ending theme no. for the anime Detective Conan .

This's the last single you can find in FIGHTERZ & also the final one that has received an album mix in the form of the FIGHTERZ Version .

The difference between the single & album versions is that the FIGHTERZ Version has an extended beautiful orchestra piece & also the ending is different .

The single version has a fade out ending while the album take of Hikari doesn't have that & you can hear the guys's cheers & etc in the FIGHTERZ Version of Hikari .

Just like GRAND FINALE , the only single ballad you can find in FIGHTERZ means a lot to the group .

When the song was completed , the TEAM BREAKERZ & the guys were enveloped by a hikari (light) .

Hikari never fails to captivate me . Immediately when I 1st heard it way back in July , I was really blown away & considering that they don't have that many ballads in this album & let alone the ones that they released as singles , it's saying something I guess .

Also you can't help but feel the sincerity coming from DAIGO who wrote & composed it & this song was written/composed by DAIGO during the time when the guys were about to perform for the very 1st time in Nippon Budokan which was a dream come true for him .

Found as a bonus track for all 3 editions of FIGHTERZ , it's the B.R.Z Version of Feel so good .

I have a feeling the original take of the song might surface in their next single or something but anyway , this's the perfect song to close things off .

Such an understated acoustic & somewhat orchestra driven no. with powerful messages that DAIGO has written in here .

Feel so good (B.R.Z Version) sounded a bit like Hikari to a certain extent but other than that , it's 1 of those songs that you have a moment or 2 after you listen to it .

Wow what I can say ? after last year's album offering that's of BIG BANG ! , the guys came back out in full force with their latest album FIGHTERZ .

Compared to BIG BANG ! which was a straight up no nonsense rock no. , FIGHTERZ takes on a much more experimental route & that's quite evident in a lot of the singles & album tracks you can find in the album .

FIGHTERZ presents a much bolder & out there music effort done by the guys which's something I welcome as when you experiment , you're leaving your music comfort zone & by doing so , you get yourself prevented from getting stuck in a music rut .

I have been a fan of the guys for almost close to 1 1/2 years now & naturally I have seen the guys's mature & progress as each single & album goes by & this's no exception for FIGHTERZ which I had a great time listening to from the start to the beginning .

The bias part in me will have to say that FIGHTERZ is probably THE album of 2009 .

From the album concept , the packaging to the songs to the production of FIGHTERZ , they have nailed every single aspect downpat .

With that , I'm really proud of the guys & they have come a long way big time . I support the guys from (almost) the beginning til the very end & I look forward to what great things they have in store in 2010 !
