Oh dang I want that magical box set but it's so many monies. ):

lol nope, unless one of them has been keeping it a secret from me all this time.

My friends the Jet Set Gypsies (based in Colorado, United States) describe themselves as an "avant garde break-beat visual neo-classical darkwave gothic industrial film noir gypsy circus hardcore experimental project." They take inspiration from opera, metal, Japanese visual bands, etc. but they have their own unique story to tell with theatrical and poetic style. V and Richter are the powerful vocals while Dai plays lead guitar. They're also supported by Idea on rhythm guitar and Yoshi on drums. They recently put out their first music video for their new song Tourniquet: The story in the video: If you like what you hear, feel free to head on over to these links: JSG Offical Facebook Page JSG Official Site JSG Sound Cloud Samples of their most recent album "GodScience" are on Sound Cloud and it can be purchased on their official site.

I don't think they've done a PV before, have they? I'm definitely looking forward to this.

I'm pretty sure they're still with Victor (that's what the new single is on at least) but I think they're back to managing themselves because I read that their contract with Y-YARD ran out. So that's probably what all of the GCR stuff is about. It's hard to keep track of all their labels and management since they've been jumping around so much. :/

Wait, what does the jacket artwork have to do with Night-ship "D"? Also, the previews for all the the songs are up: http://d-gcr.com/discography/discography.html Dat digital rock remix version though.

Ugh I hate these live only releases. I'd be more than happy to throw my money at them if they'd let me.

Considering they did a cover of Cruel Angel's Thesis, I really wouldn't be surprised if they had that in mind when they were thinking of a name, haha. I'm really curious about what they're going to do with this. Also, I love the dude who does their dramatic speaking parts.

They're going to release Rosenstrauss (piano ver.) with vocals but the only way to get it is to win it in the stupid lottery that's only for Japan. ): Time to stalk some auctions, I guess.

Yeah, as far as I know it was the "Water Movement." I'm kind of bummed this one is live-only but it sounds like it's somewhat of a demo (like Innocent Lovers) so I assume it will be part of another release.

This is excellent news! I was kind of afraid he'd join a band as a guitarist since he kept doing guitars for different things.

Totally excited about the Night-ship "D" PV and pirate!D.

Awwwww I wish I could go.

Really glad to hear he's getting back in the game.

As far as I know their support guitarist is still YO- (http://ameblo.jp/vegitaouji/). Looks like that's him in the video. I can't remember who the drummer is. :/

Canzel for sure. They're one of my favorite bands and will always have a special place in my heart. I really tried to like Unite but I just don't dig Yui's voice. He's not "bad" but I prefer Icchi's vocals much, much more. I can't help thinking, "Man, I wish Icchi was singing this instead. D:"

Preview CM is on youtube now: http://youtu.be/NFvgQjsmrEE

Want! Especially that bonus disc. But I'm sure their web shop doesn't ship overseas. ): I don't like using shopping services lately because of the fees.

Okay D, make an overseas DVD and don't make it available to overseas fans that totally makes sense. Just when I thought they were getting better about these kinds of things. :/

Japan Discoveries is legit, I've ordered picks from them several times. I'm still going to wait to see if they put it up on cooljapan. They tend to be slow about putting stuff up and I don't want to spend 2000 yen more if I don't have to.

D will have a new DVD called "Dying message～2012 Overseas Odyssey Tour Documentary & Off-Shot DVD～" to be released on 2012.10.18. It will be 66 minutes in length and a random postcard out of 5 kinds will be included. It's only available on the Rosen Kranz shop. However, sites like Japan Discoveries and CDJapan are offering shopping services (with extra fees). Edit: The DVD's also available now to members of D's Ultimate lover Global fan club.

40 minutes is crazy. I'm not really sure what to expect but I hope it's awesome!

Since it has a forest theme I'm hoping it's something along the lines of 7th Rose with folk and ethereal elements. I would love more of that.

Hmm...I actually liked it? It's definitely not anything like ClearVeil but it's not bad.

活動休止 pretty much means stopping activities and disbanding. I have seen this phrase used many times when bands were breaking up. I know people would like to believe that they are simply on hiatus for a while but I don't think that's the case. ):
