Surely members have many other projects and sometimes I see jp fans saying "oh, ggg is just a weird hobby band", but for Kazuma-san it's actually his life. He is so dedicated and excited about everything ggg, about new concepts and things he wants to try during the next recording or lives. He says the key point is to make people feel something and even if it's "wtf!" or "that's too scary!" then it's just enough. He, who is actually the sweetest person in the world, says "standing on the stage you gotta be a monster and make people shiver, otherwise it doesn't make sense, so I am not going to do something more appealing". And other members are so supportive to let him try whatever he wants. They are so unique and inspiring, I am really happy gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy happened to the Japanese music scene.

Still listening to their Oboreru Sakana cover fairly regularly, the guitar work is just so incredible especially towards the end of the song, it just feels so satisfying. Aie's a great guitarist but I think he's at his best when he has someone inspiring/pushing him, and Kazuma is doing a great job at this which is probably why this project is just that level above Keel even though Ryo's a better vocalist.

these threads are starting to get ridiculous 

Bad, bad, very bad  examples  of Nagoya kei. Face palm. The only band you mentioned that even comes close is DEATHGAZE. @Tokageplease help, 
this is a prime example.
 
This is Nagoya kei:

For those who haven't noticed, Mako will act as a special guest at Schwarz Stein's oneman live at Shibuya REX on February 25, 2018.
 
 
Kaya also mentioned in his twitter that it's only a "prologue" (whatever it means) (upd: it meant only the new release for SS and their autumn tour).
Anyway seems like this time there'll be a continuation of the story (upd: nah, there wasn't xD)
The last time I started a separate topic about it someone moved it to SS 15th anniversary discussion as insignificant, so I think I'll just leave it here.

Mako will perform as a special guest at their one-man on 25th February again!
 
Also Kaya mentioned in his twitter that it's only a "prologue".

^ It's Frankfurt.

I'm afraid my English is not that good to translate his tweet without changing the order of lines which i find important, but the meaning is something like:
 
"Screams
Vortex of cry
Singing a song
That can't be expressed in words
The corpse
Is still
Longing for people"
 
If someone can correct it please do.

Yeah, this sounds better! I wanted the corpse to go at the end, because he was definitely talking about himself. The way he usually ends his tweets with "Mako", this one he ended with "shikabane". But i just couldn't change the sentence in a proper way xD Thanks!

“If you don’t board the ark,
I will not board it too.
You will be my tranquil haven till the very end”

I was there ^^
He sang 暖炉の果実 (kein), グラミー (kein) and site of scaffold (deadman) alone, and then also Schwarz Stein's "Hakobune" and "Last Hallucination" together with Kaya and Hora at the encore. He was also throwing sweets into the crowd like Santa, smiling, laughing and even talking during the MC! Unbelievable TT 
Actually during the MC Kaya told a bit of how he invited Mako. At some uchiage he asked him something like:
- You haven't performed lately, right?
- Well maybe I should do in the nearest future...
- Eh? But you haven't sang for so long, why don't you start with performing few songs at SS's oneman?
- Well ok ^^
So MAYBE we'll hear from him again quite soon? Who knows.
