”the GazettE結成15周年。全曲再録による初のバーラドベストアルバム。”
This says it would be their first re-recorded ballad best album.

I bet for over 10 years I've been on this forum, some of you probably wanted to know how I looked like. If I was a guy, if I was a girl. Well both is correct, because I identify myself as gender fluid. I've always find myself reclusive and introverted and now since I fought my demons I just want to be a new me and just be me.
 
This is when I feel like being a guy.
 
Somewhere in between being a guy and girl.
 
And when I want to be my girl self. And Yes I do go out wearing makeup and all that jazz because California rules.
 

This is cool but I want a new Crossfaith album!

I used to be a hardcore vk fan until most of the bands I liked(DEATHGAZE, Girugamesh, D'espairsRay, 9GBO, etc.) disbanded.

The pond in my neighborhood was frozen yesterday! So, I braved it and took a self-portrait on it.
It was frozen pretty solid so I actually ice skated a little too (haha).

I love how the DVD is about a world tour but the cover is in Japanese traditional art and all words in Japanese katakana. It makes me wonder if GazettE is doing this for Japanese fans so to tell them even though this is a world tour documentary DVD, they will still be loyal only to Japanese fans.
 

1. UNDYING -
This song didn't really give me a deep impression until reading the lyrics which Ruki wrote.
At first listen, it sounded like the GazettE were trying hard to be heavy and dark but in a good way. Then I had the impression they were trying to put lots of dark and anger elements in one song - the screams, melodic choruses, piano breakdown which gave the song an eerie sadness feeling.
At first line of the lyrics, I realized that this song is a sequel to OMINOUS from their album DOGMA. What Ruki wrote was really heavy, deep, angry, and dark. The line which gave me the most impact was "許されぬ願いに夢を見た", which I can only roughly translate as "Saw my impermissible wish in a dream", because I often dreamt of dreams that I wasn't able to accomplish myself.
 
2. MALUM -
The meaning of this song matches quite well with the music. It's full of anger and hate because the first person character in the lyrics wanted revenge to someone who killed a girl (probably lover) close to him (or maybe her). However, despite of all the hate, Ruki wrote well in the last lines, saying that killing someone back was just emptiness no matter where you went and the reason to live also became was to revenge. This actually reminds me of the morality topic which was raised by several authors in Japan these years, which was about if imprisonment and death penalty was really enough for paying back the death of victims of murderers. (off-topic: Japanese author 東野圭吾 (Higashino Keigo)'s book "虚ろな十字架(Uturonajuuzika)" nailed the topic's contradiction well in his book.)
 
3. VACANT -
This song, as with the lyrics, is less heavy than the other songs in the single. I interpreted that the lyrics of the song was about the emptiness left from a broken relationship. The melody and Ruki's voice flows well throughout the whole song, and the guitar solo gave a sad atmosphere....but that's it. I guess it's a safe song to put into the single as B side.
 
 
Overall:
It's actually been some time since I really tried to delve into Ruki's lyrics and I'm glad I did. It just added lots of meaning and fun while listening to the music.
But then, I'm personally getting a bit tired of their dark music campaign which has gone to a bit elitist feel and  I really miss the old, fun Gazetto times.
Music and lyrics-wise, the is a decent single.

really really nice live ver. MUST WATCH.

The band can just go on without Akinori. I was a fan of them before Akinori joined anyways and his presence has always been neglectable to me.

Btw, Ryo is the person who recorded, mixed, and mastered DEZERT's new songs, Hentai and Ghost.
