Takeru (ex.SuG) new solo project “sleepyhead”

[Willen 49]

 

HERE WE ARE!!

 

We were waiting for today's full moon to hear news from Takeru, who started a “moon” countdown a few days ago on Twitter.

 

The day has come and Takeru is back with “sleepyhead”, a new solo project! His first live will be at TSUTAYA O-EAST on March 17th, 2018!

omg the dead guy hanging in the closet

 

Preview sounds quite good. Giving me Uwakimono vibes crossed with classic rock. Kinda different.

It's alright. Just wish he'd drop the greasy look already

It is dull.

not sure what's the message he's trying to get across here... the pic gives me some 'attempting to be edgy' vibes while the music snippet sounds like 'generic live-action anime adaptation end credits theme no. #575371'... which aesthetic ya tryna go for, dude?

I agree with this. 

Visually, the video is somewhat pleasing. I'm curious to see the full version.

But his voice really doesn't suit anything outside of that sort of poppy smiling way too hard - kei

The message is that that dead body is his former self. These are the pants he wore in teenAge dreams.

I explained everything on Twitter: the dead body behind him, the 13040820sec countdown and his use of the moon as a symbol for this new project!

here's my twitter theory -

 

the real Takeru has been murdered and replaced by a lookalike, his management has the audacity to put actual corpse in the filming studio (1/60)

[akiko 260]

I don't like his new look, he looks carelessly, and he reminds me of MIYAVI here.

PV sounds like it was very lame SuG's song they didn't want to release it at all because it was weak xD
So Takeru decided to remove the guitars sounds and release it as sleepyhead.

 

I know it's not true, but that how it sounds xD

[Vercingetorix 185]

There's something just plain chilling about that publicity shot...

[maliceandmisery 9]

It's okay but at least Takeru is still hot..

Not bad, I think he could go far with this kind of commercial music

[akiko 260]

Full version didn't changed my opinion, but latest part is really great, since 3:35

[nekkichi 6043]

zomg the production & PV budget on this

 

a9 never had a chance if odd a.f. ex-VK members still can get this much money invested into them tbh

[Yukimoto 1237]

@nekkichiI think with his clothing line and so forth that hes been doing for a while I'm sure he has some money stored and didn't care too use much of it until he started his solo career. Probably was planning this change for some time lol.

[nekkichi 6043]

@Yukimoto

good for him!
