Hello! I am STANGOTHZONE which is a silly name I took from a sentai show that made me laugh a lot. I mostly lurk these days but I recently met a vkei fan in the wild and it was super fun to talk about bands! It was like, oh my gawd you know what I'm about. So I thought I'd stop being a lurker. I like mostly kotekei bands, KEY PARTY, Soleil, Matina, etc and all the revival wannabe bands like Marvelous Cruelty, Grieva and La'viel Mizeria. I also like a lot of non-vkei music, Dungeon Synth has really been my jam and I like to go to a lot of local death rock/punk rock and synth shows in my city.

Great to have you join!

If it's any consolation, I see multiple people complaining about this online, reporting that it might be a glitch (when packages are scanned in some way that results in a bogus status such as this). Some of the affected people confirmed that they received their packages fine. So hopefully this is just a goof in the system! (edit: this seems to be an issue specific to Zenmarket btw)

I think more like, he does drugs and then he records this on his laptop afterwards

@Tokage I don’t understand it either, every song was already released as a digital single.... then they drop a CD with the same tracks with one new song, and then they release it all over again as a digital album lmao

LOVE SCISSOR! Glad they're back.

Hey, welcome

Trailer for the album with a sample of "Kiss My Blood": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMm0GRZwGpc Sounds pretty nice so far imo, love the energetic Tetsu drums (and the overall sound seems stronger and livelier than the last album too, at least to me).

@brainimpediment I never knew about some of those unreleased kein ones (sabbat & watashi no naka). Very interesting! Hope they have some decent recordings of those old performances floating around somewhere so that we'll get a chance to hear them again lol Merry has some live-only songs as well. I've got an old tereko from around the time of Gendai Stoic's release featuring a song I haven't been able to identify, and I don't think it's ever reappeared anywhere else. There are also a few later tracks from the 2010s that don't seem to have been properly released, like this one for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiecDx9pFRw There's also that sludgy version of Violet Harenchi that was featured in a tour promo video at one point, but nowhere else. Might be that these were live-only privileges or FC material, but I don't know for sure.

That's a wild addition to a Knotfest lineup, I wonder how the "laypeople" will react, haha

Some more details have surfaced about the album! It appears the album will only be released in one luxurious limited edition (costing a whopping ¥13,200), which includes 2 CDs (the album + the instrumental version of the whole album), a Blu-ray (with live footage), and it all comes in a special slipcase packaging. List of support members during recording: Gt.

@_sugi_ Hell yeah, that's a good one. Great soundtrack too.

One of my favorite let's play channels he does such a good Goku impression! I still have Budokai yet I had no idea this Hercule mode was a thing in the game. Maybe I need to pick it up and start playing again (as I still have my old memory card & PS2 as well!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQiG2eaYpsM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS--70PuQ_Y So if there exists a live rendition of Oni no men, presumably from the Judgement Day show or the same tour (I didn't compare the venues yet, but it's shot with multiple cameras), that means there's a live of Kore Yokattan Desu floating somewhere as well? Someone alludes to a VHS release of this live, so maybe that's uncut and this song was indeed filmed at some point in time. There aren't that many Gazette songs left that haven't been recorded and made publically available somewhere, but that's the one I want to see the most.

This is amazing! I am happy they are finally adding their stuff to streaming

Hello, resident Plastic botanist expert~

@WhirlingBlack Hey glad to meet you! Yep I’m a 90% lurker on the vk.gy server but I was tipped off early to a shiny new classic-style forum in the works through the VIP channel. And yes, through Versailles! That Nagoya sound just continues to hit, and who can resist a good goths-in-the-forest PV. I was listening to GACKT and MM in 2008, but it was KAMIJO and Jasmine in early 09 that made me a lifer.
