The fanclub version of X includes BATTLE SE -VS- as a bonus track . BATTLE SE -VS- is the same music that's played at every start of the 10 BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- concert prior to the respective artiste and/or BREAKERZ come out onstage to perform .
This's the 2nd instrumental song that guitarist SHINPEI composed in the guys' discography , the 1st was for THEME OF FIGHTERZ in FIGHTERZ .
The 2nd CD in X is titled Request best which includes 15 songs that fans selected/voted online as part of Fans' Select Best . This year's single songs which BREAKERZ released ie. Ikusen no Meikyuu de Ikusen no Nazo wo Toite & Yume Monogatari made the cut .
BREAKERZ encapsulates the band's decade-long career in the special album X . As the title indicates , X captures the band's crossovers with other artists & with fans .
Typically when an artiste celebrates their 10th anniversary , they normally will release a best album but for BREAKERZ , they've chosen to do something a bit different from the norm .
I have to be honest to say that the guys' last studio album 0-ZERO- is my least favourite album of them as I thought the album could have been so much better (I'm still a bit sore that their 14th single RUSTY HEARTS wasn't included in 0-ZERO-) .
BREAKERZ's 1st 2 studio albums which were released 10 years ago , both of them had no singles but yet most of the songs are still timeless classics up to now .
Likewise , their 1st mini album Ao no Mirai have only 7 songs but they still stood the test of time even though it was released 9 years ago .
That said , I was genuinely surprised when I heard the 1st disc in X & the songs were more musically diverse than I thought .
I support/listen GLAY , SID & GRANRODEO so when I listened to the songs that BREAKERZ performed on the day/s when they shared the same stage with the respective artistes , they sound like something that the artiste themselves might sing themselves .
I like most of the songs in X & I especially enjoy BLACK SKY , Koi no Super Express & Hirari Mai Chiru Hana no Youni . I wasn't surprised that GREAT AMBITIOUS is the 1st song in the tracklist as it's definitely 1 of the standout songs .
Also X has a considerable amount of input from other musicians , be it the same ones that performed together with BREAKERZ during BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- and/or with guest vocals or not .
I suppose if the guys didn't released BREAKERZ BEST ~SINGLE COLLECTION~ 5 years ago , they wouldn't have chosen to do something like X but I appreciate that they've done something unique instead of releasing another typical best album .
End of the day , I'm really proud to support BREAKERZ & to be their fan for such a long time as I pretty much grew up with them over the years . Despite certain ups & downs in their fandom , I wouldn't trade it for anything else & I look forward to the next decade of their career .
Happy 10th anniversary !
