Hello everyone.

 

I first visited this site when Beautiful Deformity came out to read the reviews, and recently I also read the reviews for Dogma. As you can tell, I am a big fan of the GazettE. Their music is almost the only thing I listen to, aside from a couple videogame soundtracks  and occasionally ν[NEU] and Kagrra. I used to listen to D but not anymore. 

 

Believe it or not, I have only ever listened to Japanese music my whole life. When I was a freshman in high school, I had to do a project that included a song, which got me interested in Pokemon music, which I listened to for all of high school. I also learned Japanese by myself in high school and continued taking classes in college. In college I got interested in theme songs for Japanese horror movies (weird I know) which was what led me to visual kei. The first visual kei songs that I heard were D's Yami no Kuni no Alice, Kagrra's Jusou, and the GazettE's Chizuru. Honestly, I have been listening to music for less than 10 years. 

 

The first album I got from them was Toxic (around the time Division came out). I thought it was okay but after that I got Dim and was blown away, and I've been a fan ever since. I'd really like to go to one of their lives. 

 

I am pretty adamant about having my music on physical CDs, so I have 25 Pokemon CDs and 18 GazettE CDs. 

 

Sorry for the long introduction. Anyways, I hope to post a couple of reviews here and talk to other GazettE fans (and maybe even get introduced to another band or two).

That's a pretty interesting way to come around to visual kei. Especially to only hear japanese music your entire life. I dont know many people who can say that. Even japanese people! Haha. Hopefully we can help expand your exposure to new music. Welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!

 

I only got DOGMA last week and I want to listen to it a few more times before reviewing it, but so far I agree that many of the songs sound too similar. I will probably post a review for Beautiful Deformity in the next few days, though. Oh, and another quirk of mine is that I listen to all my music in order, so I start with whatever was released earliest and end with the most recent stuff, so it takes a while to listen to the new stuff a couple of times. It is easy since I mostly just listen to CDs.

Welcome.

 

I am very new here too.

 

What movie did D's song feature in, and I remember Chizuru was for a movie about an apartment? Am I allowed to use you for Japanese horror film recommendations? XD Or do you just listen to the music? In which case, I am up for recommendations for new tracks to try out too.

 

Your story is quite awesome. :)) I didn't even think to think of Pokemon having a real soundtrack!
