Subtle and insulting! +1 point to you

Yeah we'll see. I don't think I've ever seen a band's 12-month plan come to full fruition! A year is a lot longer than it sounds...

OK, not really like they ripped off the entire song, just found the beginning funny

BTW the songs are only remastered. I would love to hear them re-record some major songs in their current style though, that could be hilarious

^ Hmmm, now I'm imagining a world where Slipknot releases their albums with one type for each member, as some bands are doing lately 8D

I think “HIZAKI wanted to try something new” automatically categorizes that rumor as false...

Hmm, I'm curious about the release details... Why not publish them now, unless there is something special going on? Perhaps that issue of Cure will also announce new band of ex-members, or a new label?!
 
One can dream at least... ♪

I haven't received the album yet, so only have their singles to go from, but: from my experience, GAUZES is def inspired by those bands, but not blatantly ripping off melodies like Grieva (but on the flip side, not as polished as Grieva either).

It just bothers me to see a comment like that in this thread. Kentz is a real man who is going to die soon, as far as he knows; it's pretty dark to accuse anyone of having such little consideration as to use that looming death as a revenue opportunity. I'm sure it was just a fleeting, lighthearted thought that made you chuckle, but it really sticks out in such a sad thread. Personally, I find it hard to be lighthearted about the situation at all.

Some other notes:
 
- From their OHP, I thought they might be associated with GOEMON RECORDS (since it recently uses this “MAG” content management system). But, I was wrong! It appears they're on a label called 秘密基地 (Himitsu Kichi)―so yeah, guess they left AKA-ON.
 
- Leaving AKA-ON is probably why they changed their name (although I like their new, focused concept as well).
 
- Seems that their distributor/marketer is BEVAULT, which is the label of DEATHGAZE. I thought it was interesting!
 
- Their logo uses RESIDENT EVIL (movie) font, hahaha. The logo's quite cool anyway.

To be fair they've been “working on an English album” “to be released this year” for like the past 6 years, right? X JAPAN sucks.*
 
*at being a real band―I guess it's not as bad if you just think of them as another group of old guys getting together for “one last tour”, but I really believed their lies about new album(s), and I imagine it's terribly disappointing for fans

Yeah, I wouldn't even bother trying to SELL them. But it's crazy how literally nobody gives a fuck. Feels bad to literally throw away VK, but oh well~

I don't get why they even tried to hold on to the name. It's been so long since the major-popularity days that no one is going to check them out just because of a name. Just start a brand new band, you'll get a few fans for the “ex-Wizard” connection, and otherwise be able to get the attention of this generation of girls.

Well that's a ridiculous reply. God forbid UNDER CODE release a last omnibus! (You know, like Sequence Records, CROW MUSIC, Matina, CLIMAX ENTERPRISE, Eternal, Soleil, marder suitcase, and literally every other label done and will do.)
 
Really want to talk about Tadashi “DESTROY OF ALL THINGS” Matsuura ripping off fangirls? Let's!
 
And by that I mean let's talk about Phantasmagoria. AKA “when everything was perfect” or, for people who were actually paying attention, a time when KISAKI reached unequaled levels of cheap ploys to get a buck.
 
Your “perfect time” saw no less than 10 re-releases, 3 of which were before the band was even having trouble, and I'm only talking about CDs. Then you have the Phantasmagoria “buy the entire $500 set and receive a signature” memorial watches, the perfumes (a ploy so transparent that Versailles had to jump on it too), the fucking purses.
 
I'm not saying you're stupid (saying), I'm just wondering why this omnibus sets off feelings of rage when 6 years of Phantasmagoria playing your ass like a chump didn't.
