Hide appeared in the anime "Osumatsu-san" and Yoshiki apperead in "Midnight! Genius Bakabon". Both are quite funny skits so I recommend watching them! For J-dramas Golden Bomber had a big role in the High & Low series. Atsushi Sakurai was the main character in Longinus. As for games, Gackt claimed that Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy 8 was based off of him. This might completely be off-topic or irrelevant, but SuG was in a Thai commercial for soda back in the day.

Show (A9) is the creative director for the brand ELIMINATE.

Ah the covers are the paintings that Atsuki and Yutori made during an Instagram livestream! Looks cool af

I actually think Tzk likes what 8P-SB is doing. Yes mejibray did some darker stuff but Tzk himself has mentioned several times that he likes poppy music. He has mentioned that he likes Vocaloid, Kanye, Arashi etc. I agree that 8P-SB is disappointing, I don't have any problem with pop but this is just really lackluster pop. However, I think Tzk truly is enjoying himself with 8P-SB.

someone on Tumblr translated Keiya's message

This is what a tumblr user (nyanko-pon) wrote and they bring up some interesting questions. Why not join Aoi's label? Is it like the Alice nine situation with PSC owning everything (logo, name etc)? Is that why they can't truly ditch Tomomi?

fuuuck this made me sad

Wow this is just embarrassing. It's just so weird how Tzk would sing so many emotional songs with deep af lyrics and then churn out something this soulless. Kinda lost all of my respect for Tzk in general. He would say stuff like he would die if mejibray disbanded so I honestly thought music meant a lot to him. This is just a low-effort cash grab from their pretty boy obsessed fans.

wait what happened??

On New years eve Aryu (MORRIGAN) had an instagram live and he mentioned Tzk. He mentioned that he'd gotten a lot of messages from fans that were worried about Tzk. Aryu said that Tzk was feeling fine. So for those worrying about Tzk's mental state during all of this, he's alright.

Yeah it says Yutarou.

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.

Everything about this is so vague!! Tsuzuku and Koichi left the label, so does that mean that they're quitting the band? If so, is mejibray going to be Mia and Meto? Or is the whole band disbanding? I don't understand this situation at all, can anyone explain?

Tsuzuku and Koichi are officially leaving their label and MEJIBRAY according to their website. The contract with Koichi and Tsuzuku has ended on 2017.12.31. Mia is taking part of a new project. Koichi’s twitter is private and his instagram pictures are deleted. Koichi promised us that we would see mejibray again in 2018 (during his birthday live). Was that a lie?

I hope this won't be a flop and that ppl actually go to Kaya's booth.

we all saw it coming but fuuuck... I really wanted a new album before the disbandment

the new look sucks donkey balls but BOY AM I READY FOR SOME NEW MUSIC

The song was pure shit. At least the MV was...cute? They had fun I guess. According to Saga's tweets they went with a Beatles style, punk style and then a glam rock style. Don't really understand why though. I seriously want A9 to impress me in the way early Alice Nine did. Their decline in popularity just makes me sad but it also makes sense when we get shit songs like this.

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

Update on the new song from Ruki's twitter. どんな曲かはお楽しみですが、俺はいつも歩きながら聞いてる時鳥肌たってるから間違いない I'm looking forward to see how the song will turn out, every time I hear it while I walk around I get goosebumps, there's no doubt about that! 本日は3月10日に解禁される新曲のRecスタート Today the recording of the new song that will be released March 10th has started

I think SID was my first. I knew what VK was because of my interested in Japanese fashion movements but I never really knew SID was vk. The first band that I actually got obsessed with was gazette around 2013. I remember liking alice nine, diaura, mejibray div, sug and daizystripper a lot too. Nowadays I still like gazette but prefer their older stuff. Other than that I mostly listen to 90's vk. Compared to a lot of you guys here I still feel like a fetus haha!

yay I actually love this!

What shopping service do you guys use to buy band merch and stuff? ^^

There's a lot of Gazette related videos on youtube. Everything from concert vlogs, concert reviews and reviews of merch. I found some in Japanese and in English! (these are all gazette related sorry) This is Ak Benjamin. He mostly does music covers but here's a vlog of the GazettE Burst into a Blaze 3 concert. He explains his first impressions etc in the video too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amuDJ7py6dU This Japanese channel is of a wife and husband that are Gazette fans. Here's their vlog and review of the member selected food at BIAB 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mvjQNZick The same husband and wife's channel but in this video the husband is reviewing merch. (with his adorable kids and their reactions) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw2Zm4Q1RR0&t=209s Found this girl randomly but it seems like she does a lot of Gazette merch reviews and gazette related vlogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqCVv8VxUU This girl does concert vlogs, unboxings and just generally talks about VK. (I get kinda annoyed with how little she knows about VK and how she can't pronounce anyones name tbh) https://www.youtube.com/user/gAbbYrOckzz/videos Anyways, if you wanna find more stuff like this, simply search the bands name + unboxing/review etc. However being more specific doesn't hurt, searching a specific concerts name makes it easier to find recent content. Bigger bands like gazette is easier to find stuff on but I'm sure other bands also have fan youtube channels dedicated to them. Try searching in Japanese too! There's a whole undiscovered world on the japanese side of youtube lol Hope this helped
