omfg how could I forget D.L.N It's great, especially live. 

How come no one mentioned D.L.N
 it’s so good

Calm Envy is one of my favs

Nakigahara, Ito, Calm Envy and Sumire are my top gazette ballads. Others that are worth mentioning are  Hanakotoba, ju nana sai, reila (but only because it has some great instrumental sections here and there) and I don't think it really counts as a ballad but Kyomu No Owari Hakozume No Mokushi is fantastic and catchy af. 
In terms of worst ballads I'm repulsed by guren. I've even learned to like cassis in the last couple of years, but I can't stand more than a minute of guren. 

I see the confusion now. 
 
The Moon mentioned Hana Kotoba and I said THAT was their greatest ballad. 

When Flyleaf's album with I'm so Sick came out they managed to come out with acoustic performances that included all the members, so I'm sure they could work around this. *shrug*

This, tbh. Cassis is the perfect ballad and is one of the best I’ve heard VK or otherwise. It’s got an easy and memorable chord progression, great solo, great vocals, tremendously catchy, and I can’t think of any other ballad by this band that can even hold a candle to Cassis. 
 
I expect a lot of the Cassis “hate” comes from the fact we’ve all heard it so many times in the ~12 years it’s been out; but the fact we still talk about it, obsess over it, or complain about it to this day is due to its longevity. 
 
Ive heard a rumor years ago from a friend that knew more about the gazettE than I do that Ruki hates performing Cassis. Is that true?

Really cassis is their greatest ballad lol 
Cassis is good but they have lots of better ballad songs.  
Pledge
Without trace 
Shiroki yuutsu 
Calm envy 
Try to be fair guys for just one time.  All their ballads get u right into the mood of the song.  Like u are in another world.  
And thank u I always thought acoustic means using only an acoustic guitar. Cause all acoustic versions I've seen till now were like that. Still think they have the greatest ballads.  Well ((((in my opinion))).  Better than lots of other bands out there.  
Sometimes I feel like people here only to say negative things about gazette.  

What I'm interested in is a possible Acoustic performance, I've always wanted that for some reason from them.

They won’t be up for long. 

I think the new Taion and Kare Uta are the only good things about Traces Vol. 2

I thought Traces was pretty good as background noise for meditation or studies. It doesn't deserve that much hate at all. Taion is a hundred times better now that the awful engrish has been taken out of it.

Ooh aoi I feel so sad after reading this interview . He has to know we all need him to be in gazette forever.  I can't imagine gazette without him. I know he did this interview long time ago.  But it is still sad. But really most of comments on gazette videos are about how much people love aoi ~♥~ 
This part when he said 
People..  Want me? 
Reminded me when reita said people they don't care about me.  I don't know if he said it as a joke or not.  
But I need both of them to know how much we love them we care about them. And we want them to be in gazette.  There would be no gazette without them.  ♥
 

Dogma is a masterpiece 
Metalcore + gazette = one of my dreams came true I've always  wanted them to be a metalcore band.  
It has many great tracks like ( dogma.  Lucy.  Ominous. Blemish.  Deux. Deracine) 

Actually I like most of their albums ♡ so it's really hard to decide. My favorite album are. 
1- dogma 
2- Dim
3- stacked rubbish 
4- disorder 
5-cockayne soup 
It seems like everyone is forgetting about their song ( おくり火) okuribi 
I dunno why.  But imo it's really a great song.  

THIS.
 
I gotta ad I've gotten really into a bunch of band who allegedly "copied" DEG, and no matter how hard I try, it's been like 8 years and I still can't bring myself to like DEG.

I just want to take a moment once again and thank the GazettE for creating the marvel that is バレッタ.
You ask me to choose one song to represent why I enjoy listening to them, and it will probably be this.

Actually I talked to @komorebi and @suji
They told me how things work here. So everything is okay now. I listen to many other bands not only the gazette.  I was trying to get along with vk  fans here. to be friends so I wrote a topic about the gazette .i was just shocked by some comments full of hate towards the gazette. So I thought they were haters.     I read most of the topics here and ignored most of the opinions that I don't like. I even read most of threads here to learn from them and discovered more bands to listen to. And I didn't say I'm in higher position. But I don't like to disrespect other bands.  Cause I don't have a band to hate as I said gazette is special to me . About the membership card . To convert my country currency to yen that would be so much expensive . But still I will try to get one. 
I won't be upset from their comments next time.  
 
I wish I can see them live one day.  One of my dreams to see them live 😊 thank you for sharing your experience about their live performance. 

Ruki sounds so emotional in this performance. I love this song to death 
 

Finally a real sixth gun I just joined here yesterday why is everyone one here is talking shit about the gazette? They are talking like it's the worst band  in vk.  This is really disrespectful to a great band like the gazette and to their real fans.  

I’ve had a Heresy membership for the past three years and to be honest I find it relatively cheap compared to other bands. I’m excited to see what they have in store for members during this new era. That being said, I think for what you pay for, you don’t get a whole lot out of it when it comes to their international fans. That’s to be expected. 
 
I’m not the biggest GazettE fan nor are they my favorite band but I do appreciate that they’ve since earned the respect they deserve over the years and continue to push out good music for what it’s worth. I don’t mind supporting them any way I can because after bands like 12012 and Sadie calling it quits, there’s only a few other Japanese bands that I even care about anymore.
 
I’m getting older, I’m married, have a kid on the way, work way too much and really don’t have the time to get into new music like I used to. So, seeing the GazettE still active and doing their thing and seeing them grow from their Cockayne Soup days to NINE really puts a smile on my face. 

Even though I’m sick of core-influenced metal with synths, and have been for years, I find the GazettE to be a guilty pleasure I’ve stuck with since DIM and have been enjoying them more and more as time goes by. They’re fun. Yeah, so they recycle riffs occasionally (I think it largely works); but their sound is distinct, so listening to them feels like a refreshing and enjoyable experience. 
 
The one thing I love about core-influenced metal is the gnarly down-tuned chugging, especially when it gets technical, and I think GazettE does an awesome job with that. Their songwriting seems to have improved as well with their guitar riffs being far more “substantive” than the old days of Discharge and Headache Man, no doubt a result of their developing western-metal influences. 

when i saw them in NA, they were tight as hell, not a single note was out of place. Its actually surreal how close to the record they are, special shoutouts to uruha solos that was the BESSSSt live.

Yup I noticed that some of them were really trying get me mad but I'm okay now I understand how things work here now.  
It's all because I'm new here😊

Yeah imagine people are saying shitty things about your fav band 
And I want to see your reaction 
I don't care u like the gazette or not.  
But to find the whole((( gazette))) thread full of haters saying shitty things about gazette.  That is really stupid.
