Wow, that was a very impressive preview! I kind of stopped following them around 死にたい (I'm getting real turned off by rare/difficult to obtain stuff), but I am strongly considering buying this.

Really?! Worse than "D.A.R.K. -In the name of evil-"? ;pTitle doesn't surprise me since DEZERT is "food-kei." ETA: excited as fuck for this album!

I still haven't listened to Sempiternal or That's The Spirit. I did hear Drown when it was first released late last year and thought it was pretty good, though. But yesterday, I was listening to all their other stuff. I LOVE "SUICIDE SEASON" just as much as I did in 2008, maybe even more. Yesterday was only the second time I listened to "There Is A Hell. Believe Me, I've Seen It..." which is a pity, because it's also a marvellously done album, and an appropriate follow-up to SUICIDE SEASON. Why haven't I listened to that album more often? As for their older stuff, "this is what the edge of your seat was made for" and "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS." both had a style that I could appreciate, but they both sounded a little monolithic and I wasn't too fond of Oli's shrieks. Although I will say that standout tracks (from those two releases) were "RE: they have no reflections", "A Lot Like Vegas", and "Off The Heezay". Everything else had an enjoyable sound but was a bit too similar. Those two releases will need to be listened to more to be able to find the different things in each track.

What?! ... What?! ... Wat This is not right. This cannot be real. I am beginning to question reality. I must be in a bizarro-world universe. I'm just gonna walk away and act like this isn't even happening. >.>

Since this single is rarez now, I was hoping I wouldn't like either track. As much as I love AvelCain, I'm fucking done with live-limited bullshit. But 過食症 is pretty cool and really weird, and I really like 紅ーべにー a lot and can see that one being a favourite, so... Fuck whoever is to blame for this single being live-limited. Seriously! Fuck whoever that person was.

Looks like I spelled the romaji wrong. I just googled it with correctly spelled romaji, and that iTunes link was the first thing I saw!

銀河ノヲト has been available at Tower Records JP since 16 September: http://tower.jp/item/4014431/ According to A9 PROJECT's official twitter, also since 16 September, the mini album is available worldwide on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Rdio, grace note, and Shazam. Although they failed to provide any actual links. And searching "A9" doesn't get as much success as "Alice Nine." Anyone have an iTunes link? I tried googling it with "site:iTunes.apple.com" at the end and got nothing.

Ya know what? I was gonna skip this because I hated THE BEGINNING, but I am curious about this "Ninja Turtle-kei", so I think I'll check it out.

Found high-res cover after some digging around and some trial and error with filenames/directories: 【初回限定盤】 【通常盤】 ETA: I made a textless cover:

This is the third lynch. album to have a song called "INTRODUCTION." They need to get more creative with titles for intro tracks!

Got some gaijin post-rock goodness from Bandcamp: 　　　 (left to right: TITAN - BURN; Cloudkicker - Little Histories; 初 (Shodai) - With grass above one's head; Retinwaav - Movements) Comments...

the-gazette.com huh? So, is the fifth movement just a new OHP? Are they breaking ties with PSC and abandoning Tomomi?

I at least figured the third movement would be a single. Not sure what the fifth movement would be, though. I still don't understand why the limited box says "KEEP THIS SAFE UNTIL THE 5TH MOVEMENT" ... why until the fifth movement? Why don't I have to keep it safe after the fifth movement? I really don't think it'll be a live show, since they've already got two tours going. Whatever it is, it'll most likely happen in February after the fourth movement tour. And I'm still going to assume that THE FINALE will be an anniversary live in March to end THE OMINOUS YEAR.

So, the only two rarez are 失翼の聖域 and Beautiful Creature (assuming 失翼 isn't that terrible re-recording from 2013). Aside from the new track, BOO! Not interested.

Why no songs from DIAURA? Aren't they on Ains, too? >.>

I saw a copy on closet-child a few weeks ago for less than ¥400. You don't see it too often, but if you do, it shouldn't be very expensive at all. I got the NIL digipak on Yahoo! auctions. Most copies I've seen are usually ¥6,000! The Providentia CD is promo copy of the full album (limited edition, with regular bonus track tacked at the end for some reason).

It's like motherfucking Christmas today! I've never gotten three packages in the mail on the same day! Contents: the GazettE - DOGMA (Super limited edition) the GazettE - DISORDER (limited edition) the GazettE - 蛾蟇 (digipak) the GazettE - NIL (limited; SEALED) アヤビエ - メルト・イン・シナモン ネガ - 鬱 (case-less) THE BLACK SWAN - MIRROR, MIRROR BLADE -ブレイド- - Prologue 〜再生と破壊〜 (case-less) heidi. - 過奏 (limited digipak) As If in the darkness - アローン Alice Nine - 名前は、未だ無ひ。(3rd press) SCREW - RAGING BLOOD (TYPE R) D.I.D. - Providentia (store promo + DVD snippet) DOGMA's artwork and package is fucking awesome, although this particular one was abused through transport, so... I kinda feel like punching a bitch! But the digipak and photobooks have been unscathed. I was so excited to find a sealed NIL digipak for less than ¥4,000. I wanna open the shrinkwrap and feel the velvet and gold, and look at the booklet pages, but I want some plastic sleeve for it. I don't want the gold to start wear/chip off like I've seen on some copies. I know why DISORDER was only ¥500 The case has some scratches on it. Never sell me CDs if you don't want me to criticise your ability to take care of them!

What do the numbers after each re-recording title mean? 2.0.3; 3.0.3; 4.0.3

Fatal Error Race and W.O.D. II were worldwide, so hopefully this one will be, too. It'll hit the JP iTunes store tomorrow morning for sure, and we'll find out the day after if it's available worldwide.

I think it'll be much easier for me to get into this band if they have a full-length album out, so I'm also looking forward to this!
