Hi everyone, I'm looking for someone going to GACKT's Last Visualive tour. There's a live-limited CD (I believe 3000 yen) based on the show's set list, but it also includes SE, BGM, etc as well as all the songs. I'd love to get a copy of this but I can't make any of the remaining dates, so if anyone can help out that would be awesome. Comment here or drop me a message if you can help out! GACKTのライブに行く方を探し中。全曲、SEやBGMなども入っている会場限定「LVL SET LIST CD」が欲しいが、残念ながら私がライブに行く機会がない。もし買ってくれる人がいたら、私に連絡お願いします。もちろん払います！

I presume that's what the name refers to but it seems to be unrelated to the lyrics. Yoshi sings about a clown reflected in the mirror in that song. (wanna go back and correct some things with these later but...)

The title Stanckzyk refers to a famous Polish court jester. This ties into the theme of the album, with songs like V&S and also the band's own appearance promoting previous releases based on clowns.

At least they added their first EP on top of a 10 track album rather than making it half the tracks. Excited for the new stuff, and the re-rec of V&S since I love that song. Also super hyped for their BLITZ one-man!

I wasn't a fan, but here's a translation for those who were. Byo: We're closing the curtain on 10 years of SCREW. In this time many purple flowers have bloomed and purple rain has fallen. The reason we were able to come this far is because of you, reading this. For the remaining six months, please continue to support us until our final breath. Kazuki: So SCREW will disband on November 1. Sorry for the sudden announcement. In these 10 years, we have been able to overcome any number of difficulties. I believed that SCREW was a band that could continue year after year. The courage to persevere, the challenge of going on, and the fear of stopping. Honestly, I think this was always somewhere in the back of my mind. If you felt even a little bit that our music was able to support you, then I am satisfied as the guitatarist of SCREW. Throughout these 10 years, I was able to meet so many wonderful people and so many of you came along with us, supporting us with your smiles. To all of you who have supported us until now, I want to thank you sincerely from my heart. Although we only have a short time left, please accompany us to the end of our dream. Please continue support us until the very end. Manabu: November 1. On this day, SCREW will disband. I'm sorry that we couldn't keep the promise we made on stage. It's because of all the people we met and who supported us that we were able to come this far. As for me, I plan to leave the stage after our final live. Thank you so much for your support. SCREW is my last dream. I am truly happy for the time we were able to spend together. But it's still too soon to say farewell. I want to cherish this dream until the final moment. To all of you who loved SCREW for these 10 years, you have my sincerest thanks and love. Jin: SCREW will disband on November 1. Sorry for the sudden announcement. Actually, although of course we've been doing our best these 10 years, the limit of SCREW is something we have been discussing since the start of the year. Despite the departure of Yuto and Rui, we've remained positive in the face of adversity. Our fans supported and cheered for us. But somehow we've lost sight of our goal, the struggle became reality, and we began to think that maybe SCREW can no longer exist as SCREW. We feel terrible disappointing our fans like this, but all things must come to an end, and this is just the right time. My chest ached to hear all the congratulations on our 10 year anniversary; I even cried. Looking back on these 10 years, we've shared pain and happiness alike along with our fans. I'm really sorry we can't celebrate the 11th. But I have no intention of quitting making music, so I promise you all I will return some day. Please give us all your love at TSUTAYA O-EAST on November 1, and we'll repay it in kind. Thank you so much for these 10 years. I am so grateful to everyone. I loved SCREW.

Awesome news, just ordered a copy myself. Orders where payment can be made by May 2 will be shipped by the release date (May 5). Payment received from May 3 onward will be shipped May 9.

Considering that the PV for Saishuu Densha was basically pornographic, and even the pixelated version was taken down by YouTube, it'll be interesting to see what they have in store next. On the one hand it was refreshing to see something so unashamedly sexual, but on the other hand I don't want the new album to be half jazz songs again.

「螺子」 朝焼けオレンジに染まる空 僕はまだ眠れない 隣で眠る裸のソレに 愛は無くて 抜け落ちたネジ　埋めようと夜に溺れ また明けた朝　まぶしいから目を閉じた あなたが僕に残した 「過去」後悔が消えない 塗り潰す事もできず 今でも　誰かに重ねてる 大人になった　あなたを前に 未熟な愛は　何も言えず ただ　俯いていた さよならなんて　離れるなんて 認めたくない　それでも あなたは背中で答えたね あなたが僕に残した 「ごめんね」が今でも鮮やかで 眠れない僕はひとり 今夜も　誰かに重ねてる 花を添えた窓辺に　雨が注ぐ あの日が　今でも　今でも ‘neji’ asayake orenji ni somaru sora boku wa mada nemurenai tonari de neru hadaka no sore ni ai wa nakute nukeochita neji umeyou to yoru ni obore mata aketa asa mabushii kara me wo tojita anata ga boku ni nokoshita ‘kako’ koukai ga kienai nuritsubusu koto mo dekizu ima demo dareka ni kasaneteru otona ni natta anata wo mae ni mijuku na ai wa nani mo iezu tada utsumuiteita sayonara nante hanareru nante mitometakunai sore demo anata wa senaka de kotaeta ne anata ga boku ni nokoshita ‘gomen ne’ ga ima demo azayaka de nemurenai boku wa hitori konya mo dareka ni kasaneteru hana wo soeta madobe ni ame ga sosogu ano hi ga ima demo ima demo ‘Screw’ The sky is dyed orange with the first rays of sunlight, and yet still I can’t sleep There’s no love in that empty space beside me Whenever I try to fasten the loose screw I end up drowning in the night Dawn has come again, but it’s too bright so I close my eyes My regret for the past will not disappear I can’t fill that hole you left me with Even now I can’t forget you Standing before you, I couldn’t tell you how much I love you So I just hung my head in shame I don’t want to accept that it’s over But you gave me your answer when you showed me your back That ‘sorry’ you left me with remains vivid even now Tonight again I’m alone and can’t sleep I can’t forget you Rain pours against the window, adorned by a lone flower I can’t forget that day Even now…

Is this actually for real? The kanji in the company's logo is even very blatantly stylized to read 'TMR'.

Might have to get to that live in June...

This is obviously an elaborate April Fools' joke, because the whole philosophy of this 'company' is 'making a revolution' - ie, 'Takanori Makes Revolution'. I'd be more shocked if it's real than fake XD

This interests me. I might pick up the album.

Sounding and looking good! That PV is fun, looking forward to the full version!

Agreed. I thought the vocals needed to be mixed a bit higher in most of their tracks, and this footage proves it. Keita can sing, he just gets a little drowned out by the chugging 8-string guitar a bit lol.

Does anyone have the setlist(s) from that live?

That sucks. Their single was pretty good.

This is incorrect. It's like OMEGA, the first press only has 2 discs, after that it will be CD only.

damn @trombe you're quick, I just got in from their live tonight and this is already in the news section XD
