if anyone finds anything incorrect or wants to add anything, just let me know!

can someone pm me one of their songs? i'm very curious about their style.

btw..i've noticed that reita always has this band around his nose..what's up with that? i derno..its hot

-jungie

GAZEROCK IS NOT DEAD ^^




Cred to blue-neurose.de

I think it's hot too. =X It's like his "style" I suppose. Like how other star's have things that makes something their own... Like Miyavi has a bazillion tattoos and the lip ring thing (someone gave this as an example once)

he has a normal size nose underneath his band makes him hotter

HEY SEI! xD

they look so pretty and all... but never listen to their songs before. any reccomentation?

thanks *menkui

yeah.. reita's band..or whatever i should call it..its just very...

seductive in a sense xD hehe.
so..anyone have a song? -.-

-jungie

Hi Misao-san! I will try to upload some songs on ysi... and if I can.. I'll PM you two links. YSI doesn't work well for me though. T_T

was that directed to me?
@__@. ah the confusion. anywho..if it was
thanks! ^^ yeah..ysi is a big female pooch, ever try megaupload? oO;;

-jungie

Yay Thread! Ruki owns me

^big female pooch? that's a new way of phrasing it, I like it

I didn't post very often on the old thread but I lurked quite a bit, I'm glad to see this thread got started up again so quickly

yes, I think Reita's nose, band.. sock.. thing, whatever makes him look hotter too ^__^;;

but his nose is SO cute o_o;




HAHAHA.

cr;batsu

oh yeah, I just uploaded 3 gazette PV's for someone, if anybody wants them then you can PM me ^__^;

Uruha <33333

I'm trying to get my hands on their Judgement Day DVD.

I drew a lot all the way through HS and after HS I stopped. Earlier this month I felt like picking up my pencil to draw again so I drew this. I've gotten so much worse after all that time of not drawing.

The picture is really dark and I couldn't really make out what he is wearing.

First stage of drawing is


Then I cleaned it up a bit. I don't have the right pencils or paper or eraser anymore so I had to use random ones I found in the house.



I'm still not done with it though. I've only spend a few hours on it so far. The lips don't really look like his and I made him look very friendly in the drawing. (in other words, it's off).

^
It's turning out great so far Izam!

By the way, your banner is lovely... Aki <333 the object of my desire.

oi, your drawing is gorgeous. you're lucky to have such talented hands .__.

I love how Ruki always struts his stuff in Gazette's pictures. They're hot stuff.

Please do not direct-link to the pics, ok? ^^;; The webmaster is really pissed off about that..

Pics~

He has to do that to make up for his height since he's the shortest! (same with Mari when she was in MM with everyone else being taller than her). It's call shortness syndrome!

JK. I love Ruki.

p/s Most vocalist are short =P

True.

I'll repost some pictures too.

batsu again

^True! My favourite pic of him too XDDD

*lol* at Reita. Poor Ruki~

Gazette...one of my many first Jrock bands. =) So much memories. They're so darn pretty. I always thought of Vampires when I looked at them.

But thir music beats Miyavi's anytime. =P

Heck yeah!

Oh wow, it's the new Gazette thread ^^
I'll try to upload some songs that I have, even though I don't have a lot and I think they're old....
sorry

*high fives*


I'm not a Miyavi fan anyway, so somebody stop me before I go into Miyavi-bashing mode. :x

ruki + reita!!! <3 my love

Cute Aoi pic!!!

^ omg so cute!!!
I'd put up some pics that I have, but I think most of them have been uploaded already...

aaahhhh!! haha now i finally know who they are! i spotted them in a jrock magazine once but never figured out who they were until now. lol! I love their look! Reita look so cool!

Uruha hugging Reita? Cute

Thanks! Uruha is adorable in it hehehehe look at his cute mouth! :3


I love Aki...

Aoi looks a bit like Shinya from DeG?
Or maybe I'm just crazy...
Anyway, they look cool... Reccomend any songs?
I don't want to listen to the wrong song and think they suck...
When I first heard Dir en Grey I listened to a song I didn't like, and I thought they sucked, but then someone finally told me that it was like their worst song ever, and I listened to a different one and loved them.
But I don't know anyone who knows of these guys, so I don't want to dislike them if they're good.

So... Yeah, help?

Yeah, he kinda looks like Shinya.. a bit. ^^;;

Well, songs that I like from the band

Reila [a must]
Tokyo Shinjuu

Most that I like are their trashy/loud songs, such as

Ruder
$OCIAL RIOT MACHINE$
Beautiful 5 Sh!t[ers]

My Gazette list composed of:

Meisenen
Zetsu
Shiawase na hibi (Cocayne Soup)
32 koukei no kenjuu (Cocayne Soup)
Hana kotoba (Disorder)
Sarab (Disorder)
Zakuro kata no yuutsu (Disorder)
Shishi gatsu youka (Disorder)
Toukyou chuushin (Disorder)
Cockroach (Gama)
Last bouquet (Gama)
Kore de yokattan desu (Hankou Seimeibun)
Shiikureta haru, Kawarenu haru (Madara)
Reila
Shunsetsu no koro (ReilaO)
Uzuku azi to yugamu yura (ReilaO)
Sumire
Machi bouke no kohen de
Doro darake no seishun

I'd say start with Zetsu, Reila, Sumire, Meisenen, Shiikureta haru, Kawarenu haru and Cockroach.

MUST HAVE REILA!!!!

It is my favorite song!

Aoi is a little better looking though...
*Hides from crazy Shinya fangirls*

*happens to be a Shinya fan* =P

Haha, Well, I'm a Shinya fan aswell.
Shinya's hott, but Aoi is still hotter. I'm just worried some crazy girl is going to say "BLASPHEMY! You don't deserve to be a Dir en Grey fan!! I hope you burn in hell!" Or something like that...

Ah, and I listened to a few of the songs you guys reccomended, and didn't like them very much.
I'm not saying they're bad! they're awesome, just not my taste.

Actually I take that back, I liked 'Tokyo Shinjuu'

^ *rofl* I wouldn't go that far XDDD

Hmm, perhaps you should search more of their songs.

Some title of their songs~

Carry?
Cockroach
Sugar Pain
Shikureta Haru, Kawarenu Haru
No [666]
Red Motel
Mad Marble Hell Vision

Ah, since you guys are such great fans of the band, would you mind helping me get this information on Aoi and Reita... Or giving me a link to a website where I'd be able to get it myself?
