NightFall

I definitely think they've improved a lot, but I think the style of SEs have changed as well. They used to kinda just be snippets of cool little beats at the start and end of an album, but since DIM they seem to be trying to make SEs that fit with some sort of theme with the album. I think DIM was an earnest attempt, but I agree that they feel pretty lacklustre now - especially compared to the recent albums' SEs. I also think the songwriting on DIM is really high level, and the SEs thus feel sorta slapped together at the last minute.

GRIMOIRE - Uranometria [Type A+B]
DIMLIM - The Silent Song [both editions]

GRIMOIRE are releasing a new single on December 13th!
 

 
Title is ウラノメトリア (Uranometria) - named for the first ever atlas to record the entire celestial sphere.
カストル (Castor) ver. has two tracks (1.ウラノメトリア　2.すいそうのうみ) and a music vid for the title track: 1,800 yen.
ポルックス (Pollux) ver. has three tracks (1+2 same as other ver. 3.ハロー＆グッバイ): 1,500 yen.
 
Castor and Pollux are the names of the twins who were eventually transformed into the constellation Gemini, which makes for a cool celestial theme to the single.
 
Visuals:
 
They'll also depart on a three stop tour following the release, performing in Osaka on the 16th, Nagoya on the 17th, and Tokyo on the 26th.

The back of the CD case looks really beautiful for some reason.
 

That's what I understand as well; Rynk plays a child, and the other members are all friends he imagined up.
This is a quick translation of the band's bio webpage (http://gri-moire.com/biography/):
- The Four shadows of light -
- They are “My” creation -
- It is an illusionary reality -
- This is “My” story -
- You are seeing “My” dream -
So I think the covering his eyes represents that every thing around him is not real, and is part of his dream.
 
As for the "Let us eat the fruits of fate", I think it's a reference to the metaphorical nature of fruit in Christianity. Fate is a predetermined outcome dictated by an omniscient force (such as God), so perhaps eating the fruits of fate would allow one to change their fate - which I think would fit into the boy creating his own reality in a dream. I'm really not sure about the relation between fruits and the bible though, so I could be way off with my interpretation.
 
Also I doubt they themselves really know what that sentence means lol

Anyone think that the recent GazettE SEs have improved? In particular, I think they have gotten better at getting them to either flow into the next track or continue from the previous track. Maybe they weren't trying to do that in earlier albums, but I noticed that in BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY, both the intro and outro had pretty seamless transitions, and it seemed to be the same with DOGMA's intro. I also think the more recent SEs sound better but that's just my opinion. For example, even though DIM is my favorite album, I thought most of the SEs on it were pretty lackluster compared to, say, CODA (not really a fair comparison, I know). 

Everything from the hiatus announcement onwards has been the biggest what the fuck experience ever tbh. Just keeping with the trend I guess.

MiA will also be participating in KISAKI's Matina memorial live on March 31.

More info here:
 

According to mejibray's homepage, Meto is having a birthday live. AND HE'S THE VOCALIST. (We haven't even heard him talk yet wtf).
Kei and Tatsuya from Diaura, Masa from Nocturnal Bloodlust and Nao from アルルカン , will play the instruments. 

In before meto is the best Vo. the world has ever heard

As of 1/5
Ba. 夢 (Yume) of ピサロ(Pisaro)
&
Dr. Hibiki
Will act as support members
 

Making the thing easier to understand:
 
Tsuzuku and Koichi left MEJIBRAY.
Now Mejibray members are only Meto and MiA.
 
WWK Project is ex Kameleo guy solo project, so MiA is just a support member. It's not his project or anything. 
Plus he's not "ex.MEJIBRAY" because he still part of the group since they didn't officially disband yet. Just Tsuzuku and Koichi are "ex. MEJIBRAY" now 
 
I think It's better to make a topic for it...?

Koichi and Tsuzuku’s contracts with Forum are over as of today. The general thoughts and feelings that there was an issue with management is confirmed, I think. As of now nothing about MiA and Meto. MiA has been announced to be part of this project, but he’s not listed as “ex-Mejibray” and I don’t see anything to indicate that this is anything more than a session. Here is hoping for the best and the happiness of the members in the new year at any rate.

koichi has locked his twitter and deleted all his tweets 

kinda makes me wonder why they were so dramatic and sad during the tour final if they were gonna act happy and as if nothing had happened during Koichi's birthday live... They made me so incredibly worried for no reason 

According to reports Koichi's birthday live had a great atmosphere, all the members were happy and there was an mc in which Koichi said they'll see us next year. 

You have to use a proxy shopping service, 

Nice cover arts #hyped

Wow yeah Mercy Rain went from like a 4 to a 10 on the Gaze-hash likeness scale lmao.
These are all pretty listenable tho!
 
 

This sounds even more like the GazettE than the other songs xD
Not that I mind lol

Every heard this?
 

I voted for "visual is in the name".
 
While the music definitely is what makes me like a band or not, a cool look adds an aura that I like. When you've been into vk for a while you can also sense if you will like a band who haven't released anything yet just by their looks, which I guess is both good and bad. 
 
That being said, outside of vk I do not care about how a band or an artist looks. 
 
The list itself self was also cool. I like that la'veil mizeria is there, we definitely need more matina-esque bands, both in terms of looks and music.
 
Also Karasuna Mei from Kuroyuri to kage in a bloody garbage bag needs to be mentioned as well. 

Merry Christmas 

Any idea what kind of music these guys will be playing?
