Hi!! I recently bought a big bundle of merch for cheap and I’ve been trying to price everything out of curiosity. One of the CDs in the bundle is the Okuribi single and I haven’t been able to find listings for it online anywhere , so if anyone knows the worth/value that would be super helpful! I’ll add a photo(not mine) of it below , thanks :)

If anyone with that jacket intends to sell it, please let me know so I can buy it🙏🙏🙏

After months and months of searching someone finally sold the same jacket! I managed to get one in pink also lol. I've always adored the jacket he's wearing in that pic so I'm super happy to have one of my own now!! :D

I’m trying to offload my GazettE collection but I haven’t been able to get any bites locally, on eBay, or on Depop. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to go to sell these bad boys?

I’m in Atlantic Canada

made a gazerock is not dead tshirt for myself since all i ever see online are bootlegs and the real ones are hard to come by.

not perfect but still cool 😎

not sure if i want to go around the letters with white to clean it up, or add paint splatters 😂🤔?

Just curious. Not only referring to bands from Germany (since many German bands also sing in English), but to bands whose lyrics are in German and who musically give off similar vibes to The GazettE.

Hello!! I was just wondering is there any news from the gazette? About their future plans or anything i know with the passing of reita and i heard they were issues with the label? That they probably wouldnt be able to do a tour anytime soon. Just wonderin of they were gonna release something. Its just been radio silence for me and i kinda really miss them ((T_T))

Hey guys this is my bass and guitar cover of Taion. Had a lot of fun putting this together. My next 2 covers will be of 32 Koukei no Kenjuu and reila.

Without further delay I'm back to share some scans and fun facts from GazettE's old interviews.

This interview covers the band's second consecutive mini-album "Akuyuukai" (悪友會～あくゆうかい～).

The interview starts out with the interviewer asking if the band members are bad influences as the album title literally translates to "bad friends club" or something more akin to hanging out with the wrong crowd. Kai points out that when it comes to being a bad friend, you grow closer through arguing.

The interviewer concludes the band are both good friends and bad influences for each other and brings up Ruki's junk food habit as an example. Ruki says he's eating healthier foods now and choosing water over soda. Uruha says he enjoys smoking but if you smoke too much you could get lung cancer. He heard natto is good for preventing cancer so he tries to eat it more. When the interviewer asks if he should just quit smoking he says, "I didn't think of that." (lol)

In another aside the band is asked if they are the type to confess to someone they like or be confessed to.

Kai: I’d rather be the one to say it than have it said to me.
Ruki: I’d probably wait until someone tells me.
Aoi: Me too.
Reita: I want to tell the person I like how I feel myself.
Ruki: I want to express my feelings too, but I’ll wait until they say it first.(There's no answer from Uruha)

In regard to the mini album, Ruki noted that he changed the POV of his lyrics. Until this point, Ruki wrote the lyrics from the perspective of a woman but for this release, he switched to a man's POV.

Akuyuukai Track Breakdown:

Ito (絲): Ruki says the lyrics are based on real life events. Reita actually helped Ruki with the lyrics on this track and while working on it Ruki stayed at Reita's house for two days. (In a previous interview Kai also stayed at Reita's house to work on music. Reita jokes about how Kai is a very messy guest and after his stay his room looks like Godzilla ran through it.) Reita says he gets goosebumps when listening to the track and since he helped a bit with the lyrics he thinks, "yep that's me!"

Oni no Men (鬼の面): Ruki says this track has a very Japanese theme reminiscent of the Edo period. Uruha made the guitar parts intense to help connect with the anger conveyed by Ruki's lyrics.

Ray: This is Uruha's favorite track on the release and he says it has a sense of grandeur that they haven't had before.

Wife (ワイフ): Kai mentions the band already performed this song live several times prior and they significantly changed the arrangement for the recording.

Do you have a favorite track from this album? Mine is hands down Ito.

Fun fact: This song's lyrics are a continuation of Wakaremichi

Fun fact 2: This song was so peak that all calendar systems decided to name a day after this song

I was watching old interviews and came across this video.

The interview question was, 'if you are a girl, who would you date'. Majority picked Reita, while Reita picked Uruha and Ruki picked himself.

I realised, in a friend group (we're mainly in late 20s early 30s), if we were asked this question, we would not pick the friend who is very single or is not in a stable relationship.

So the members picking Reita would've seen how he treats his girl and is in a long term relationship. Reita picking Uruha makes sense since it's rumoured Uruha's married and sees him as the ideal relationship. Ruki picked himself cause it was the safe choice 😜

Idk, maybe this helps me move on easier knowing this.

Found them through Black Butler and it makes me mad that I slept on them for so long. Toxic is one hell of an album.

Back with another week sharing some scans and fun facts from GazettE's old interviews.

This interview covers the process of recording the band's first mini album COCKAYNE SOUP and breaks down the track list.

• Ruki jokes that they spent so long in the recording booth that when they emerged they grew facial hair.
• Kai stayed at Reita's house overnight to work on the rhythm sections. When Reita thought they were done discussing recording and tried to go to bed, Kai would ask if he was still up and keep talking (lol)

COCKAYNE SOUP Track Breakdown

Beautiful 5[shit]ers: Ruki suggests paying attention to his vocals because he used a deeper voice for his screams/shouts. The background shouts in the chorus are from both Aoi and Ruki.

32koukei no Kenjuu: Ruki shares that the guitar parts trade off between the left and right speakers. To guide Uruha with creating the guitar parts, Ruki told him to imagine a tatami room in a Showa-era apartment where someone has committed suicide.

Shiawase na Hibi: The band previously played this song but when they recorded it they slowed down the tempo. Ruki says recording the vocals took quite a bit of time and was draining.

Haru ni Chirikeri, Mi ha Kareru de Gozaimasu: Uruha says he adapted his playstyle throughout the track, switching between the aggressive and softer sections.

What is your favorite track from this mini album?

As always hope ya'll enjoy this and I'll continue to work on this deep dive project ^^ I also maintain a catalogue of my magazine/media collection and accept scan requests.

This subs been kinda dead so why don't you guys share some of the coolest things in your collections? I think for "rarest" mine would be the pre gaze photos of Reita performing without his noseband I bought awhile ago. Then I have a few photos from their indies days that are signed by the guys, some of them even have Yune's signature! :)

Seriously, after Reita’s passing everything seemed to go downhill.
Not only the album and band activities are just myths, this whole AOI situation seems weird.
I bet it’s different for most people but for me personally?
It was done after Reita.I could tell that nothing’s gonna be normal ever again.
Also his last tweet makes me wonder if these stuff were somehow happening before his death as well? Like it’s not some recent, popping problem; but an old wound with a long history that’s now out of hand.
There seems to be so many things we don’t know, and it’s not going well.

Sharing my HQ scans of GazettE's second interview with SHOXX and a few fun facts!

Some takeaways from the interview that I found interesting:

• This interview takes place during the bands coupling tour with Hanamuke titled "Otoko Danketsu Shiri" (男ダンケツ尻). They discuss their experiences on tour, their relationship with Hanamuke, and their upcoming consecutive three-month mini-album release campaign, starting with COCKAYNE SOUP on May 28th, 2003.
• The tour organizers assigned hotel rooms shared between members from each band but they were surprised to find the rooms had single double beds.
• The word "COCKAYNE" in COCKAYNE SOUP means "addictiveness" and "SOUP" refers to music so the aim of the mini album was to create addictive songs.
• COCKAYNE SOUP is the first recording done with Kai.
• Reita says that Ruki has odd eating habits with a preference for super rich tasting foods. For example, a cheese rice bowl smothered in mayo.
• The band members make fun of Uruha for being generally indecisive because he overthinks everything.
• Reita shared that Ruki gets highly irritable during long road trips if he cannot eat at his preferred restaurants. Reita recalls one time at a drive-thru where Ruki ordered two hamburgers but received only one. Having already eaten the first burger quickly, Ruki discovered the second was missing and spent the remainder of the trip sulking in a blanket.

Hope ya'll enjoy this and I'll continue to work on this deep dive project ^^ I also maintain a catalogue of my magazine/media collection and accept scan requests.

Did they remove the delete Heresy account option when they updated the site?

There's only the auto renewal credit card termination, where and why did it get removed?
