Visual-Kei the GazettE New DVD & New Album

[visualkeigirl 0]

It was announced at their live today and on Ruki's Twitter. The OHP should be updated within a couple of days with this news.

Yes I know, but it's still unclear whether there will be a new single or not. Ruki didn't mention it on his twitter. And there seems to be confusion amongst the people who went to the final. I'm waiting for the OHP update.

I don't think that Ruki would troll the fans like this. That is something that you would expect more from Aoi. I'm hoping that they release a new single after the Album. It seems like that is slowly becoming more common for bands to do. Either way, we know that the Album is true. Maybe the single is a trolling thing, but I doubt that it is.

From staff twitter:

3/10（土）に幕張メッセ国際展示場ホール10にて10周年ライブ『THE DECADE』、5/9（水）には1/14 横浜アリーナファイル公演を収録したDVDリリース！8月にはニューアルバム『DIVISION』リリース！決定‼

No mention of a new single.

The way I understood it is that at the live there was an announcement for a new single for a sec, then it kind of disappeared and turned into a new album announcement. Idk.

Well I think they'll probably release a single soon after the album anyways :---D

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Wow! This is great news! I'm STILL obsessed with Toxic. That one was easily my favorite of all their albums. In my opinion, they just keep getting better. I bet this album will blow me away.

[Pandabear 414]

Well there actually will be a single released it's just that it will new after the album. And the new album won't have any old songs, all new songs

Sounds cool/interesting. Good to see a Japanese band employing this kind of method (like in the West), hopefully it'll be quality stuff!

This.

I liked their last album, it had some good songs and I don't think it was as horrible as some people seem to think it was. You never know for certain what a band will put out, and hopefully this new album will be a pleasant surprise.

[Eraser 66]

Wot, already?

[Licio123 181]

I have no qualms with another album, TOXIC wasn't great but was faaaar from being bad. I only don't like fast releases, but maybe that's just me.

[LIDL 692]

Since they have been reported writing lots of music these days maybe not so surprising.

Though i understand the feeling you have there.

I am guessing there may be at least 2-3 songs from TOXIC sessions that are not so fit in with the mood or direction of the album that may works for this upcoming one. Either it is too soft or too heavy.

[Licio123 181]

Well, the label needs money, right? Not surprised, though the release date is really far away.

[Augie1995 325]

I'm not exactly wrong here hahaha. Maybe they didn't announce a new single as well, but, technically, they will most likely release a new single after the album so....LOL

[Augie1995 325]

I don't really trust information from fan pages on Facebook or anywhere but there is a group all about AOI and they said info about the album is all new songs and a new single after that which will only contains one song.

limited edition of their LIVE DVD "TOUR 11-12 VENOMOUS CELL-FINALE-OMEGA" (9,765yen) will include 3DVDs, and regular edition (6,090yen) will include 2DVDs

[sai 868]

9,765 yen? That's a lot, even for a limited edition. Hell, even the 6,090 yen for a regular edition is a lot. But then again, it's SONY. I can't believe I paid like 2,000yen les for a DVD from an avex trax band (D).

[freesia 714]

Speaking about DVD prices, DEATHGAZE's DVD is expensive and costs 6300yen for only one 25 songs DVD. On the other hand, coldrain's first DVD costs only 3000 and is even cheaper if you order from amazon. I wonder what makes up such price difference of DVDs.

Fuck the Tour Finale, they should have made the DVD out of this one

Haru ni chirikeri, mi wa kareru de gozaimasu. Mmmmmmmmm

[X-Marc 7]

wow lots of oldies, so glad they dont play those anymore that much nowadays

they sound so generic, glad they went their current direction

also songs as Zetsu, awsome to see they play songs like that, but lets not make it a habit=p

[nekkichi 6043]

why are they playing so much stacked rubbish again

[sai 868]

^ They did that as well on the NLSB tour :/ I think it fits their current direction better in comparison to play DIM songs with their upbeat stuff from SONY.

[nekkichi 6043]

i guess it only fits their direction in "ashes to ashes, shit to shit" way, but seriously, they've just ruined an awesome set-list with that vermin/swallowtail on the end of deepthroat valley bullshit

I wonder if they pumped enough autotune to ruin the godlike madara tracks.

Or the fact that Ruki's performance is as flat and uncharismatic as a wet cardboard box these days ( his nasal vocals were charming and fit the overall quirkiness of their old music ) . At least they didn't put shit like Maggots, Agony, Psychopath and etc. in there.

[nick 10212]

omg! shunsetsu no koro. i havent heard it played live since MRD.

I can't think of many post 2005 VK bands that are interesting to watch live tbh, so gazette aren't any different.

maggots is a masterpiece compared to the whole toxic - looks like they're ashamed enough of the outcome to include any of album-only tracks.

The quick announcement of DIVISION made me feel that they weren't too happy with how TOXIC turned out in the end too. But that's just speculation~

ps. all the albums after Disorder are garbage

[nekkichi 6043]

I think gazette are less stupid (or less greedy) than their current management, who forced toxic and a bunch of subpar singles.

I'm curious for division, and I don't like disorder that much tbh, it's all in the indie singles and minis for me. dim was almost flawless except for Aoi's fail attempt at composing.

It's just what I think they're doing, not my opinion. I would've loved to see some more DIM on there, but with shit you have to add shit.

Compared to the new DVD I agree on the part that Ruki's performing abilities have decreased, especially when you compare it to the DIM SCENE DVD.
