 If Jupiter is going to stay the course - and it seems like they will - then Masashi and Yuki will continue to play second fiddle to the guitarists. There's no room for them to grow in this band anymore.

 

You and I both know that the moment Hizaki decides to leave, this band is DONE. As great as Teru is, this band will not stay afloat without Hizaki. Zin is not that great of a vocalist, and pales in comparison to Kamijo.

Who in the hell will be able to replace Masahi OR Yuki? VERY big shoes to fill.

I guess the Jupiter haters will be happy now. 

You're right. I am.

IT HAS BEGUN.

I listened to it a few days ago. I couldn't believe my ears, because the sound would enter one ear and come out of the other. Haha.

1. Rakuen (落園) - I guess the lack of energy in this track really brought down the rest of the single for me. The only answer I can come up with atm.

2. Empty - If this had more effort put in the build up and more impact right at the climax, it'd be a great song.

3. Gotta Get a Ghost - After listening to this, I am actually questioning whether to blame the recording studio, or the band. I just hate the sound of this.

You will fall asleep, I'm sorry.

This was recorded poorly IMO. I am hoping the copy I found online was just bad quality, and it will sound completely different when I find a new source.

Can ya'll just make a 'VK sucks' section on the forum so all these damn threads can go there?

Like a "bands you hate with a passion?" thread?

The threads on Rikishi's underwear was not what I had in mind.  It did make me smirk though.

Edit: I had no idea Rikishi was a twerker? My life is ruined.

Talk shit about anyone to others.

Tell people how much of a POS they are, even when the opportunity is just right. That's for them to find out.

Let anyone talk down to me.

Silence.

Why hasn't it snowed here in Chicago yet?!?

I'm trying to road rage in the snow goddamn it.

Is there a thread where I can swear my lungs out?

I'm fairly sure that's just called "setting the atmosphere" rather than "shut the fuck up, don't move, and fucking listen to mmmeeeeee." It's a type of respect to go along with what the band asks you to do for certain songs. Screaming and yelling is ridiculous imo too. Reminds me of when Dir en grey "demands" the crowd to be quiet for Kyo's acapella parts and every now and then there's this bunch of screaming fangirls who can't read situations. It ruins the moment. It really does.

 

Singing along to songs? Now that shows something.

Can we be friends? Haha.

Don't even get me started on the ONE OK ROCK and DEG concerts I've been to recently. If it wasn't for the venues being so amazing (and the beer selection), I'd have a fit.

I go to Lives to finally be in the same place as the band that I have mad respect for and to see/hear them with my own eyes/ears, in the comfort of my hometown.

I dunno, I guess I'm just a calm person. I do respect the Japanese people enough to do as they do/ask, and honestly its beautiful seeing someone from overseas behave the way these bands do.

It would be nice to go to a concert in japan and enjoy, from what I've heard from friends over there, one of the BEST concert experiences I will ever experience in my life.

Can we take a moment to pause and ask ourselves why this bothers bands? Like it's not like you are getting anything more than some shitty video with blown out sound - you can't sell it, you can post it on youtube and get like 10 views, or your could post it on facebook for your friends to like and your aunt to continue to think that your parents raised you wrong.

Only reasons I can think of is that either the band is incredibly vain so they only want the best (i.e. high processed and edited) stuff of them to be put out in to the world OR they just suck so hard that they don't want people showing the proof of it.

So many shots fired in all directions. Haha.

OR perhaps the respectful thing to do while at a concert is to listen to their music and enjoy seeing the band in person.

I can see/respect if this information about them is verified. Our generation has reached the point where mobile devices take over our lives.

Instead of seeing the band with your OWN eyes, you're looking at them through a camera?

Grudge is one of the best tracks on Dogma.

Oh yeahhhhh

C'mon man what's with the fucking names these days? Do they just draw words from a hat or something?

x3 on the shittiest teaser I've heard. HAHA. Was that 5 seconds each track?

It's only been a few hours since release, why u do dis?!?!?!?

JK. We've been teased for quite some time, so we already knew how this was gonna turn out.

Very well played, ガゼット. You had me going there with DOGMA, and I was starting to think you weren't going to fare well with your new sound.

Very great turnout. Me gusta.

Definitely before Coll:set.

I'd say 2005/06-ish. Perhaps around Gemini/Born

WOW! Even shit other people upload on YouTube gets region blocked! Just wow!

Whatever, I'll just wait 'til I get my copy.

I gotchu homie.

KAI IS A FUCKING DEMON WITH THOSE DRUMS

Satoshi just needs to come back.  Those riffs he created are not the easiest to replicate, and I always liked his style.

Wouldn't that be something! Would we even want Touma back? Haha

Oh no D: at least it's temporary...

 

Now it's possibly indefinite??? Fuck...

wait wut?

Source?

Whoa.

I wonder who it'll be???

I'm trying to figure out how to tell you that:

• You're burning yourself out by trying to catch up for lost time (I'm assuming you took a break?)
• You're rushing to conclusions (If you DID take a break)
• We all agree with you
• Tough it out
• You're having a VK mid-life crisis

but I'm lazy today

I own a Shiba. His name is Eight (Hachi (how original, I know, don't let your eyes roll too far back...)) and he's a shedding S.O.B.

Eight knows I don't like it when he rubs himself on my leg because of the hair, yet any chance he gets, he jumps on my bed and rubs all over me in my sleep like an asshole. It wakes me up and then he'll run away like the damn gingerbread man.

Sometimes I think he gets his jollies off making me pissed. I love that dog.

What the above people said.

Honest answer will be that only YOU can determine what appeals to you.

Perhaps later the bands you thought were stale might actually become your faves as you grow wiser (I'm not saying you're immature).

edit: Or am I?

calling any knowledgeable gazette fans

what are the odds of them doing an NA tour? is there even a slight chance of them getting over their fear of an NA tour or is SA/europe the most they'd ever do

Lol you mean primarily a US tour?

They've been to Mexico.

There was a petition created a LOOONG time ago for them to appear here in Chicago. I don't remember what happened with that.....

The problem is not so much them, it's just that the support from fans here in the states are minuscule in comparison to the fans outside.

If memory serves right, doesn't the GazettE Fan Club have to fund it or something?

Edit: Old news but relevant.

Stuff like this kinda doesn't make anyone outside of Japan look too good. 

can't agree more

it's on FB as well

OH THANK YOU!

The nostalgia is real people!

Must. Resist. Clicking.

Damn you region lock bastard!!!!!
