Finally got my stuff from RarezHut, but it was worth the wait. 
 
AnCafe's Magna Carta album
A VHS boxset for PENICILLIN's Indwell album from 1996
Not for sale promotional only VHS of the PV for SUGIZO's LUCIFER single that they ran in stores from 1997

I presume it has something to do with this. Probably just a pseudo-reunion or something for the show.
 
 

setlist @ 8/8:
01.inspire (La'Mule)
02.溺れた奇形 (La'Mule)
03.月ト影 (La'Mule)
04.モ・ノ・ク・ロ (La'Mule)
05.君を汚した (CELL)
06.ナイフ (La'Mule)
 

as mentioned in the post above they are just doing a malice mizer session twice in september for the band's anniversary.
sakura is on drums as it seems he was kami's mentor, while former malice mizer roadies kamijo, hitomi and shuji (caligari) will be on vocals.
I think it's been announced about half a year ago?

Welcome. I love the older vk bands that you listed. 😎

Hello everyone, I've been a Visual Kei fan since 2004 when I discovered J-Rock with Asian Kung Fu Generation and subsequently Visual Kei through L'Arc~en~Ciel through Fullmetal Alchemist and quickly found DIR EN GREY and X Japan. I was a fan of everything FROM ∀NTI FEMINISM, An Cafe, Girugamesh and 蜉蝣 to Phantasmagoria, Moi dix Mois and Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- from 2004 up until around 2010. I then fell into Japanese hip hop and left the scene until last year while keeping up with stuff like DIR EN GREY and the GazettE. Anyway, since last year I've been back in it and quite deeply and it's been nice discovering so many new bands and the nostalgia of the bands I used to love. I was always ostracized and ridiculed about my musical choices in my youth (my youth? I'm only 28 xD) and I ended up finding a soul mate who enjoys Visual Kei as well, especially DAMY, but that doesn't mean that I am not looking to create friendships as friends with similar musical interests are few and far between.
 
I've been a fan of a variety of subgenres over the years, everything from your traditional Visual Kei to Oshare-kei and Nagoya-kei. My favorite bands since I've come back would have to be TRNTY D:CODE, Darian Marian, SARIGIA, dexcore, DatuRΛ, MISERIA, and I was really fond of DEVIZE, VRZEL and MEJIBRAY. As far as old bands I've always loved anything MORRIE does; so DEAD END, 黒夢, PENICILLIN, GLAY, X Japan, Luna Sea and D'erlanger. 
Oh my, I apologize for writing what has essentially turned into a short story! I guess I can end this by saying that I've been aware of this place for some years and used to lurk off and on in the past and I'm happy to be here now.

I adore them. Hoping that they'll add a concert in Tokyo at the end of december/start of January, I really want to see them live! (and grab as many CD/DVD as I can)

FINALLY got it figured out xD anyway, so excited to read atsushi talking about the 2nd album and recording footage for the next DVD. 
 

they have a quite unique style to make music, that's what has mainly caught my attention since ryo joined, adding that I'm a fan of both ryo and közi

If they committed a bit more to the witch house-y dark electronic stuff (instead of just the aesthetics and some song parts) I'd be all over them, but to me they've always been kinda like a group where they just throw a bunch of clashing stuff together and call it a song. They do have their moments tho!

Welcome, DIR EN GREY actually have a lot of good acoustic songs. Kiwamu is the former guitarist of BLOOD and GPKism and is the founder and boss of Starwave Records. 

Oh they're around alright, last time I was in Tokyo I spend thousands and thousands of yen there 😂 But at that time they didn't have any DÄLLE releases (but they had all of ryo's bands)
And yeah, I don't know why they don't put all of their discography on iTunes.  

The ｅｄｇｉｎｅｓｓ is strong with this one.

Can't agree more. 
I'm going to Tokyo in 5 months, I think I'll use this opportunity to get as many releases as I can. (And hopefully they'll announce a live too)

Malice Mizer, the GazettE, DIR EN GREY, X Japan, Kuroyume put Nagoya on the map and Lynch. has kept it there, anything MORRIE does apparently, Kagerou, The Piass, BUCK-TICK, LUNA SEA, GLAY will go on forever, but once they do stop they will be legends. 

I don't get the hate. 8P-SB coming to an EDM festival near you. You guys wouldn't give up the chance to see them live. They're doing what they love and that's making music. Plus Starry Night is a bop. Sorry not sorry; I like 8P-SB.

Thank you and yeah I suppose they are lol I have never seen Brotherhood seeing as I had watched the entirety of the original and have never felt like going back and watching the manga-esque version.
