Back to the Future

Eating chips and reading the entire thread 
great way to spend sunday night, so many things i didn't know, sooo many "wtf" 
love it
The moments i remember were wtf for me
 Versailles going into hiatus when i was so hype for them, and yeah Isshi's death. God i loved his voice so much i was starting to listen to Kagrra and that was a big slap to the face. 
Oh and finding out Selia hangs from hooks in his back as part of his live shows sometimes... that is wtf
By the way, thanks for that Tanuki link, a real laugh reading that tumblr  

iirc venomous_cell on facebook is posting bits and pieces of their rants, but I don't really follow gazette fansites anymore
so idk if anyone does full show translations, sorry ://

Sweet, we like pretty much the same bands/artists and are on the same side of the world. I hope you stick around!

I saw last week, after years of not following them, a preview of their 2nd ballads album with the oldies and... i got an "awwww the gazette!!" feeling, i then started stalking  looking for Ruki's insta and see what's up. I still like the old songs better, as for the videos, Chizuru is my fave and that hasn't changed. I confess I was expecting a diferent sound, listening to Dogma the other day i don't know what really, but something that tells me This is Gazette a decade after... I think it was hard for me to follow them the way i used to, after DIM. The works that came after kinda made me search somewhere else. But they are definitly one of the bands i cherish. Prob always will. 

they signed with a different label after DIM/before I decay came out, and turned their sound EDM-ish for a couple albums
sometimes it worked out rill good —
but mostly didn't
 
they still have it tho

Mmm, I feel you on this. At the time, I wasn't nearly as into Kagrra as I am now, but for me I think Jasmine You's death was the first death I was really shocked and bothered by of someone I didn't personally know (family/friends, etc.) At the time, I remember just feeling that it was unfair he had to die, especially just after Versailles went major. Ascendead Master and Prince & Princess were really great maxi's and the future looked bright for them then. Very wtf

Too much negative WTF's in this thread and not enough positives.
 
THIS takes the cake.
I remember coming across this vid during my beginner days as a J-Rock fan and shat myself in disbelief. 

I translated the interview on the link in the previous page (wasn't sure where to post it so just copy pasted from the Traces thread)

 
 
I'm at peace with traces lol. But I'm excited to see what comes next, specially if they're getting a sound engineer. 

Electronic stuff are the most apparent in Division I guess.
 
I'm in a good spot because I've found all the phases the gazette has gone through pretty enjoyable. So I'm fine with whatever direction they decide to go for ^^

i agree about an cafe and A9.LM.C seems to be more popular than them both are now.someone answer me,did A9 ever played in budokan or some huge place like that?
And...in my opinion,talk about the gazette is too relative .i think their popularity has increased a lot around the world since stacked rubbish days.but comparing with dogma...i think that japanese people just got used to their kind of music and the number of bands that has been created since those days is quite huge.

there's an interview about the album traces vol2.i found only in portuguese,so translate the page,if you don't understand

Welcome here buddy! Hope you'll have a nice time. 
 
This is interesting! I'd be glad to check out your stuff if you ever feel like sharing it.

Welcome!

Hi there! I'm Andy. 26. From Argentina. Graphic Design student.... let's see, what else... Started into Jrock/VK with a The Gazette's song: Cassis, years ago, and since then I have been gone and back and gone and back; now I'm mostly a Kaya fan (in fact i freaking worship him lol), but i like to see/hear what's new from the bands i like (Versailles, the gazette, screw, alice9, D, matenrou opera) and what's new in general. 
I think you'll find me, most likely, gushing about how perfect Kaya is, but i'll check other threads too   
Later! 
 

Agree, those drums made my ears bleed. Hated them. Hate trashcan drums in general, but thats' just me. Also, yaaaaas Violet, queen! ♥♥♥♥♥ 

So far nothing unlikeable. Loving kaya with guitars. I like the blonde guy too. Just what what the Doc ordered.

Ishii (Kaggra) and Jasmine You (Versailles) death.
 

Yaaaassss, Kaya, yaaaaaaaaasssss!! Welcome to the forum! ♥
