Hidaka Amebreak music project

[mickleditch]

Tokyofever.com (among others) recently carried the announcement:

It has been announced that Hidaka, a member of AAA has collaborated with the rapper “AKLO” and beatmaker “I-DeA” under the name SKY-HI. In this collab (done for Amebreak‘s project “FLOATIN’ LAB“), Hidaka produced an original song with the two. Amebreak will also be releasing a video displaying the production scenery and PV for the song itself on their official YouTube channel. Fans will be able to witness clips of Hidaka choosing the track number with I-DeA and writing the lyrics with AKLO in this video.

Hidaka will be continuously collaborating with various rappers and track-makers from now on for this project, so those AAA fans out there definitely have something to look forward to in the future!

The first three volumes of FLOATIN' LAB are now up, as well as the original track 'Inside My Mind' featuring Dacchan and AKLO. ^ ^

Thank you for sharing! Love the track and I love Hidaka's look in the MV!

[mickleditch]

You're welcome! He's making quite a name for himself outside of AAA these days. ^ ^

[airah4]

Oh heeeee's one tasty fellow! *licks chops* (That sounded horrible. O.O) Anyway, thanks for sharing these! I think it's great he's doing these collabs, because they're really adding to his list of experience and gaining him all kinds of great exposure!! (^0^/

Where's my good Hidaka icons when I need one??? >.<;;

[mickleditch]

*realizes* I... have no Mitsu-only icons at the moment. Why is that??

[airah4]

Hahaha! What's wrong with us!? We've failed miserably!! xDD

I would like to get some new ones to add to the other new ones I have, but it's often hard to find really nice ones (or make them, since mine are usually horrible)!!

[mickleditch]

It's hard to find nice shots of him to icon when he's always hiding his looks by pulling faces.

[airah4]

AHA! The famed cat faces!! xDD

This is true, though. Although your icon is pretty amazing, and he might very well have been pulling a face there! (^_<)

[mickleditch]

HE LIKED IT REALLY. *cough*

[airah4]

Hehehe, perhaps he liked it a little TOO much. ^^;;

[bravelioness]

That's a really good point, although I suppose that's what's endearing about him too! He doesn't mind acting crazy or looking a little weird~ ^^;; When you already have a natural beauty (both inside and outside), being able to do something like that shows that you're not vain--you don't mind making a fool of yourself. That's really charming, isn't it? ^^❤

[mickleditch]

I think it's almost a defensive thing. Like he's scared for people to notice how good-looking he really is. :)

[bravelioness]

...That just made him 10x more endearing!!! ❤ Hahaha! ^^

[bravelioness]

I stayed up all night, before we had the hurricane here in the US, just to watch the live stream of "Inside My Mind" (and possibly this entire series?). Thanks so much for sharing it here now--the version I saw kept breaking up, and eventually disappeared altogether because of the hurricane! -.-;; I'm glad to see it in full now though! ^^

In my opinion, "Inside My Mind" isn't his best work, but parts of it are catchy enough. =)

[mickleditch]

I also found yet another band he'd appeared on an album of the other day, but wasn't sure whether it was worth posting as it was only a brief appearance on one track.

[bravelioness]

Ooh, could I ask what it is? It might be worth sharing! ^^ (And it also might be part of a certain rare Naoya/Misako/Hidaka DL that I have yet to share! =P)

[mickleditch]

Here's info about the album, and the track can be played on this page.

[airah4]

Alex is doing the week-long Shin special, and I plan on doing a week-long Shuuty, Naoya, and possibly Chiaki version as well. (We can list the under site specials!) Why don't you consider doing a Hidaka version?? Alex would definitely help out (since she's also a big fan of his), and I would too, if you wanted! (^ ^)

[mickleditch]

Oh, gosh... I don't think I could find anywhere near enough stuff for it! >_< My Google-fu is not strong when searching in Japanese!

[airah4]

But I could definitely help out, and I know Alex would, so you wouldn't be alone at all! (^ ^)/ It might be cool to try doing week-long specials for all the members!! ^^ And you don't have to do all the work, for sure! I think for Hidaka, there's bound to be a lot more out there than maybe some people even think, because he's really grown in popularity!!

Even just posting not-often-seen photos is nice, I think! I'll have to do that probably, if I post a special for Shuuta, for instance. He might not have as much! :(

[bravelioness]

This is really great!! I don't think I've ever seen it before! O.O If you have the time, definitely share it on the comm, since it was your hard work finding it! I think Hidaka fans will really appreciate it!! ^^ If you like, I can look and see if there's a place to DL it too!

[mickleditch]

I've found a working link to dl the entire album, but not the individual track on its own. Hm... *thinks*

[bravelioness]

If you want, I can DL the full album, take out the single file, and the reupload it somewhere for DL by itself. Of course since you found it, you should take the credit for that! (Because I also don't mind having it since it's Hidaka! =P) Although Marysa just reminded me...this might be something good to save if we're gonna do a Week of Hidaka Special! (If you're interested in that, I'd love to help you out with it! ^o^)

[mickleditch]

I could do that and make a MU link. ^ ^ I'm just uncertain whether people would think it was worth it!

[bravelioness]

Okey dokey! ^o^ Go right ahead! And I think regardless, Hidaka fans would be quite happy about that! ^^ If we do a Hidaka special, it seems like Sky-hi materials would play a big part in that! Wish I could find scans from his AAABEST booklet! >.
