Yeah, none of the girls over here think they're disbanding as far as I know, but I also haven't been reading Tanuki because GALLO's thread is notorious for being totally incorrect (as in, the gossip on there is basically never true). Everyone has their own theories but there's really no solid evidence, so I don't want to say anything that would sway anyone's opinions. Right now we're all in the dark. I DO think though that since they're not saying they'll announce it at 9/11, but it's HAPPENING on 9/11, that they have to tell us before 9/11.... but who knows.

It sounds like a member is leaving. Literally all they've said is ※引退式典が御座います。 (There will be a retirement ceremony.) "Retirement" is usually only used to mean someone's leaving the industry; it's really unlikely that it's a reference to the whole band.

IKR. I don't even care about the releases anymore.

What anakuro said. No one's expected to buy any number of copies; people just do whatever they want. It's one CD purchase per event if you wanna go -- and most bands actually make you purchase multiple copies or multiple types to get instore tickets, but GALLO doesn't do that. You can also get multiple photos and autographs at any given instore for having more than one ticket, and while most bands will only have an autographing OR a photo event, GALLO pretty much does it all at every event. Basically, I'm more inclined to spend my money when it's worth it, and they make it worth it. Also, just for whoever mentioned the tokuten ("privileges"?) -- I honestly don't give a crap about them. XD I just like instores. Besides, the title track on INCUBUS is about the financial relationship between vk bands and their fans, so the humor's not lost on me.

THE GALLO's "INCUBUS", ten times

I have no pictures :c But my last buy was LuLu's "301 Byoushitsu," 2nd awake's "R.P.D," and a couple of Sin (ex-CELL) cheki.

Pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but .黒鶏 is read as "Kokkei", so if you're romanizing it, it should be Kokkei-shiki. GALLO works there as a translation, but it's not how it's read. Furthermore, ドウベ is read "Doube" -- it would only be written(/read?) as "Dubhe" if it were written as ドゥベ

They advertised the crap out of it when it came out, but I never looked for it at lives. Didn't decide I wanted it until this year. XD I picked it up at Zeal Link, I think, so it may not be something they have at buppan.

In a few years the responses to similar polls are going to start including "my mom/dad got me into it." @_@ Blows my mind.

The band's first interview + a raffle for a copy of VIDYA (it's a fantastic album, and I don't even typically listen to this style of music) and a signed board: http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/05/07/interview-ix-nine/ It's free to enter, so might as well?

My dad has always kinda poked fun at it (but no serious qualms), and my mom's probably the reason I'm into it. She's more than cool with it and can identify a lot of the bands I like on look or sound. In high school she'd let me put my CDs on in the car so they grew on her. She also tells me to give the vocalist of my band hell when I see him for this-that-or-the-other, and wants to come see them with me if she ever visits. ;; My mom dressed up with a group as KISS for Halloween as a teenager and has tons of rock concert stories (like the terrifying one about getting carried along with the crowd in a rush when doors opened without her feet even touching the ground). Proud to have my parents ( ^0^)/

Their site looks out of date -- this one is probably the most recent release I have from them tbh. I think I picked it up in January (looks like it came out in 2012) It's a CD + Live DVD combo. http://www.closetchild-cd.jp/product/21727

I have it like-new and I'd be willing to part. Shoot me a PM if you'd like!

You're both pretty gorgeous together Man, I wanna post a twoshot, too, but I have a moral dilemma about my instore photos on the 'net, but you guys also look awesome. /flies back into space to avoid derailing topic

You assholes are all way too attractive /flies off into space

Updated; bump.

"Answer" spot is out: Not Jabell, but session (?) band BLESS THIS MESS will be having a live on May 28th at AREA. 【BLESS THIS MESS】 Vo. YNG (ex.Saruin) Gu. Minamoto Iori (Femme Fatale) Gu. Ranmaru (ex.Saruin) Ba. Baku (ex.Saruin) Deets: http://ameblo.jp/yanagi-lily-henachonpe/

A CD isn't going to happen for Jabell. Yanagi wrote a very frank blog entry that he finally published the other day, explaining that the reason the album was dropped was because he pulled out of the project. And he claims he pulled out because of Maria's utter lack of contribution to finances as well as track work for the album. http://fuckyeahjabell.tumblr.com/post/101657452851/yanagi-has-posted-another-of-his-massive-entries

Yanagi's blog post indicated that he is leaving Jabell altogether but music is in him and he probably won't leave the scene entirely if he can help it. He said it's not just about his health, but also Maria's situation and other unforeseen circumstances that are making the goals they had with Jabell impossible. Still no word on whether or not Jabell is through, unless they've updated again more recently (which is a possibility).
