Wow thanks, now I feel old and shit.
 
Great list.

conspiracy but possible facts alert
 
 
 

I really hope they surprise us with a final album. The thought of 昨日の怖い夢 being their final release is extremely frustrating!

I completely forgot they existed. I saw the word ドラゴン and immediately freaked, thinking it was コドモドラゴン.

Goddammit.
 

I'm interested in hearing the re-recorded songs, but otherwise, absolutely not! If it wasn't for the re-recordings, I wouldn't pay this comp any attention at all. I think this one will feel most 'bootleg-y' to me, with the stupid title and the poor tracklist. With the DECADE series, at least they remastered (nearly) everything, and did some edits to a few songs, instead of just copy/pasting everything.
 
If they were gonna re-record every song in the tracklist pre-2007, I think I'd be more interested.

*smacks lips*
 
UM MA'AM
 
*pops tongue*
 
MAY I *um* SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER?
 
*POP*
 

I imagine they wanted to avoid calling it "Live" because they're in the studio, so "shot in one take" makes sense.
 
Kinda like "hey, here's the band performing that song in their studio jam space!". It's a "live" take with all the benefits of being in the studio. I guess they're kinda cool? Either way I really doubt it's that big of a selling point.

What if kiryu had disbanded and My Dragon had stayed

literally everything about hatsune miku is awful anyway, but that design looks like rejected megaman battle network concept art lmao

Of course From Japan has to do some fucking Rakuten sale AFTER I spend $60 at 伊藤久右衛門 and $50 at Nestle shops, of course, they couldn't do this fucking sale when I was ordering this shit, nor could they have announced it in advance, no no, they had to do this now, and only for a day, after I order all my shit. Fuck you FJ, just fuck you!

What the fuck at all of this

So I just got the limited edition of VERSUS, and it comes in a super thick case (like the standard edition of INCOMPLETE). This right here is the cover on the booklet inside:
 

 
Why didn't they just go with this for the main cover? Somebody has been lying to this band telling them that the other covers they've been promoting are better than this one right here.
 
Still haven't listened to the album in full, but I still have high hopes for it. Still not sure if I'll like Shangri-La or Noah when I do listen, but I'm not expecting them to be as bad as I thought when the tracks were released back in May. REM will probably be my favourite, and maybe is DEAD (that song kinda gives me a suicide ali vibe).

I think a less awkward, more human English interpretation could be, "You, Me, And This Ugly Town"
I know the word order is reversed, but it sounds more natural in English, as does using "and" only once in a list.

I still can't wrap my head around the logic of announcing a release before it's been recorded (or even written). I want a new GazettE album more than any of you, but dude, what were they thinking?!

Imagine this album making "i'mperfect" sound like a masterpiece.

7/11
 
 - I would have rather gotten a pathetic utaboomy-ish DEG single than the announcement for VESTIGE OF ASSES, but at least they're [supposedly] working on a new album, sooo...
 - R指定 was technically 2 singles and a mini album
 - lynch. was only a mini, but still a great release, and honestly much better than BLØØD THIRSTY CREATURE
 - Plastic Tree did release a single, but it actually sounded different for once
 - I'm giving DEZERT points being consistent and releasing awesome shit, even though they just did one single and one live-dist track, but おやすみ is probably the most beautiful song released this entire year.

The Japanese government finally outlaws br00tal kei entirely, thereby saving the entire music scene
 
because they still didnt fucking do it this year like i hoped they would lmao

wait wtf when did i miss this news of my (ex)BABY passing out on stage now THAT is true menhera art
 
@mejistans wtf is going to happen for koichi's bday live on the 22nd is that their last live before tempo kaisan??? this is so wild and their page is on total (i mean relative to a vk band) shutdown, best hype-generation tool ever (and a way to keep foreign fandom out of the loop looooll thank god)
 
edit: dramatic (alleged), possibly made-up account of what happened (also check the tnk blog)
 
asagi and yo-ka falling for the band's drama as well
