  1. According to some of his instagram/twitter posts (gazettenoura has translations for most tweets/instas in case you are curious), he has done a bunch of songs already (by himself - the jury is still out on when or whether other members will join in or not, seeing as the latter situation led to the trainwreck we know as "Division" these days)- and even some "longer" ones (and "another punk banger"), quelle surprise...

     

    I really hope that Uruha gets his main spotlight (as the "second lead writer") in songwriting back. Gazette's songwriting process really demands some "new blood" as far as I see it - or "new brains" if you will.

    I would be SO FUCKING HERE for a new album!!! And I'm really curious about the comment of longer songs! I've always wanted longer GazettE songs, maybe a 10 track album with 5-7 minute songs. You guys can snore at that idea all you want, but I like long songs, and while I have hopes for the GazettE to grow and do different things as a band and go new places, they haven't failed to impress me, so I still look forward to whatever new music they've got planned!

    I would also like some more composers for the next album, and especially URUHA to get more spotlight. Don't get me wrong, I like RUKI's compositions, but I was a lot more impressed by what other members wrote on BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY (I'm pretty sure EVERY member wrote at least one song for that album).

    Also, I would hope for more experiments with songs structure. When they were interviewed before DIVISION's release, there was something said that made me falsely expect to hear something on the "proggy side." Also, when DIVISION was announced as being a two disc release, with only 7 songs per, I have a vague memory of someone making a joke of hoping for "17 minute chug fests" lol.


  2. Hope we get some high-res artwork soon!

    I really like both the studio and live version of this song. They both have their differences, but both sound very, very awesome! Also, I like that I'm hearing parts reminiscent of their past songs. If anyone asks me who MEJIBRAY is, I will probably direct them to this song!

    Looking forward to the b-sides, and very excited to hear the next single!


  3. I'm really digging the remix job on the EXODUS tracks, and the re-recordings are fucking amazing (葉月's voice sounds really great on them all), except for Adore (I prefer the single version). I would have liked some remix jobs on the INFERIORITY COMPLEX era songs, and that they used the single versions of JUDGEMENT and A GLEAM IN EYE (and maybe ALL THIS I'LL GIVE YOU) instead of the single versions. Complaints aside, I am very much looking forward to hearing this in full!


  4. Stuck between options four and five, but ultimately, I'd prefer to hear Japanese people singing in Japanese, unless they're actually good at speaking English. There are times when you can't really tell that it's Engrish and not English (you can easily hear RUKI singing "all I want is your face" when he's actually singing "oh, I want to the your face"), and I'm just so used to hearing stuff like "JISSS IZZU" that I shrug it off.

    I'm very used to hearing Engrish that it doesn't always ruin the song for me, but I do think Japanese singers' voices sound better when they're singing in Japanese, for example, RUKI. I love his voice...... when he's singing Japanese; when he's trying to sing in English (increasingly as the years go by), it just sounds... a little weird to me.

    It's also why I've been avoiding Japanese metalcore. Most of it is in Engrish. There seems to be an extremely low level of Japanese core and metal with Japanese vocals. What is this?!
