Gossip released a new limited single 「デモ」 starting on their 7/27/2018 live and via mail order from 7/28/2018. Limited to 500 copies, 4 tracks, 1500 yen.
 
Tracklist:
1.ハナマチバーレスク
2.キッチンキラー
3.真夏ノ夜ノ夢
4.ロザリー

They are there, obviously, but isn't that generally how visual kei works? I don't think this is on the same level as copycats like grieva as their own style is clearly audible and also, in my opinion the clichés they choose are nicely arranged and combined.
As for Dir en grey, ZAN (or any other 黒夢 inspired rush song) is definitely there, but the guitar in 運命開化 reminds me of much older melodic mid 90s bands and that is not really a common occurence.

Bought some CDs and a photoset from old gossip, and it turned out Hiro's photo was signed.
 

your whining every time when they release something is getting boring
I don't see any change in their style through years, their music is still high quality
don't you really see how amazing are vocals in Muku? Mahiro is doing his best and he's doing well

Whoa! So happy that Hiro is back.

we're long overdue for another Phantasmagoria best of compilation!

Are you kidding? 
MiA is great composer and he's really skilled

MiA is the reason why Mejibray became popular...  Do you find Koichi good musician? Does he do anything apart looking good in this band? 
Btw IF MiA was average, he wouldn't be asked to take part in so many projects and believe me, Asagi doesn't work with average people. 

my crystal ball is kind of fuzzy, but Riku's now free and Kisaki is making a comeback, so I wonder what could possibly hap-

Same pattern as Royz and Codomo Dragon. It's BP RECORDS.

Hot on the heels of announcing their upcoming single for February, BUCK-TICK has just announced that they will be releasing their new album "No. 0" on 2018/03/14. The new full-length (which will be their 21st studio album) is planned to feature 13 tracks.
 
The release will come in 4 types: regular (CD), limited Type-A (CD+Blu-ray), limited Type-B (CD+DVD) and limited Type-C (CD+VR content). The bonus video contents of Types A and B will be the same.
 
Furthermore, they will hold their nationwide "BUCK-TICK 2018 Tour No.0" from 31st March to 19th July.
 

Utopia *w*
 

shops and tokuten are up. Looks like only a few stores. Like an edison comes with a bonus CD.

It's easy to make fun (which was my first thought, I'll admit), instead it would be nice if we could all make some constructive criticisms to help the gals, since they'll probably check the thread...
 
- I don't care about visuals, but people in general do, and you are all looking nice. Hair, clothing, makeup... maybe work on your poses, and improve the photoshop (the group photo is much worse than the individual ones, probably too much light on your faces)
 
- The main point: the recording of your song is PRETTY bad. I know youtube usually drags it down and you probably don't have that much of a budget, but you can DEFINITELY record a song or two in a proper studio with a couple hundred bucks. Yes it's an investment, but it makes the world of a difference. That chorus could be catchy if properly recorded and equalized, the drum lines specially. It's such a niche market that usually don't care about western bands, so you really have to go the distance to win this crowd.
 
- It's a matter of personal preference, but I find your logo way too confusing, really hard to identify the band's name. Branding is important, I would try to express that differently.
 
wish you girls luck!
