Dainihon Itan Geisha Teki Nomiso Chuzuri Zekkyo Zekkei Ongenshu (Japan Version)
Dainihon Itan Geisha Teki Nomiso Chuzuri Zekkyo Zekkei Ongenshu (Japan Version)
(2)Our Price: US$18.75Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:May 3, 2008 Love itI have to agree with the last reviewer. Like he said the best song on this single is Miseinen. It's a really heartfelt song that gives me encouragement anytime I'm feeling down. What Ruki said in that song is true. Track one Zakurogata no Yuutsu is a jazzy track that you can just sit back and enjoy. Track 2 Zetsu is alright not my favorite track on the single but I will eventually get use to it.

Guren -Optical Impression- (SINGLE+DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(1)Our Price: US$22.25Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:May 3, 2008 Beautiful BalladOnce again GazettE proves that they are capable of making some of the most beautiful songs. Guren is a beautiful ballad along the lines of Cassis if not better. You can feel Ruki's emotion pouring out of that song. The music videos is gorgeous. I love the little girl's makeup on the video. Reita, Ruki, Aoi, Uruha, and Kai appearance seemed to have change again. I love how Reita styles his hair now. Kurugutsu E is a heavy track that features female vocals. That song is okay I won't say it's one of their best b-sides because it seems too scattered. I like the ending of that song though where Ruki and that girl are singing together. I really want to know who is the girl who sings in their songs because I've notice on their credits it's the same girl who sings in most of them. Anyways this single is one of the best the GazettE has released so far and I look forward to their next single which they better release soon.

Don't Stay (Album+DVD) (First Press Limited Edition) (Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(3)Our Price: US$45.75Related promotions:May 3, 2008 AlrightWow Sony really goes all out for Nami. I finally now why this CD is so expensive it's because of the packaging. The slip case for the album is pretty thick and inside of it is three little booklets which are thick too. One booklet contains the cd the other one contains the DVD. The third booklet is kind of a photobooklet combined with the lyrics and credits of her album which has Nami with headphones on the cover. The pictures are pretty but Nami looks very different I don't know if it's the makeup but it makes her look like she had plastic surgery. Anyways about the album I wouldn't say that this is Nami's best album because it's really not. This album is kind of a let down. I was expecting something different since her singles where different but this album is nothing new. I don't really like how she sings now I wish she would go back to the way she use to sing like her second album. Gokidenza~Nothing but something is a hip hop sort of track. Nami tried her best on this song but hip pop just doesn't suit her. Most of the tracks are dance tracks which of course you can always expect from Nami. Track 11 is an R&B track which kind of reminds me of Naked from her first album. Cross Season has been made to a dance track. It's nothing like the orginal it seems like they speeded up her vocals and music to make it a dance track. Track 423 sounds different than most of songs I guess it because it seems like their is Trumpet in this songs which I don't think I've ever heard in one of her songs. Stand out tracks on this album are Brightdown, Eden, Station, Promise, and Visualize. I highly reccomend the Limited Edition of this album because the DVD that is included on this album is worth it. It includes all the music videos that were made for this alubm along with an interview. But the thing that I really like on the DVD is her documentary of her in the US. I'm glad they included clips of her peformance in the US. It mainly shows her singing her debut song Believe along with very sort clips of some of her other songs. It shows quite a bit of her traveling and talking. I don't really like how it shows mainly her filming the video for her song Heart and Soul because she's already released the making of it so I see no need to include it with this release. Anyways I reccomend the limited edition over the regular edition because of the DVD that is included with it.

April 12, 2008 BetterI have to say that this single is better than some of her previous singles. Not to say that her other singles were bad its just it seems like she was more comfortable in these songs. New Look and What a Feeling are probably my favorite at of this single. Rock Steady is ok it's just doesn't really have a hook. The limited edition is a good buy. Namie Looks beautiful in all three of the music videos. If you don't want to spend the money of the Japan version then go for the Korean Version or something. I have personally bought some of the Korean Versions of some of Namie's released and I see nothing different in them. Other than the fact tht they were released in a different country and that the dvd is in a different region. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Stacked Rubbish (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
Stacked Rubbish (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
(1)Our Price: US$35.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:April 11, 2008 Pretty goodHere's my review on The GazettE lastest ablum Stacked Rubbish
Track 1 and 2 are very similiar. They both have a hip hop feeling. Art Drawn by Vomit is the opening track which is only about 1:49. It features Ruki singing and then some female vocals are thrown in.
Agony is kind of a mixture between rock and hip hop. Ruki raps alot in that song.
Track number 3 Hyena sounds exactly like the single verion.
Burial Applicant is a heavy song at first you hear Ruki singing very softly than it goes to heavy. Pretty good song in my opionin it's one of the best on the album.
Ganges ni Akai Bara is similiar to Naamatatkai Kaze to Zaratsuita Jonetsu from NIL they both have a dance kind of feeling to them.
Regret exactly the same as the single version.
Calm Envy is a beautiful ballad similiar to Cassis.
Shallow Tail on the Death Valley is Similiar to Regret. It also has female vocals
MOB 136 Bark is another heavy song.
Gentle Lie has a laid back feeling to it.
Filth in the Beauty is exactly like the single. I really like this song. It's different than their other songs.
Circle Swidler is in english too. I'm assuming it was directed towards the music industry.
Chizuru is sounds different from the single version that was on Hyena. The guitar and drums sound louder just as loud as the bass. It seems alot more polished than the original version. I prefer the original version but this one is okay too.
People error is the ending track. Which is solely played on the piano.
I really like this album if your a Gazette fan then I reccomend you buy this album. If your not I suggest you check them out their one of the best Visual Kei bands out there.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 10, 2008 AlrightI have to agree with Ingnored Truth review this concert dvd is not any different than her other concert dvds. I own the two before this and I don't see anything different. I want to see her smile or at least look like she is enjoying her self. She doesn't really show any emotion when she sings. Her voice and her facial expressions do not match. I mean come on when you watch a concert dvd you want to see excitement and to see that the artist is enjoying be able to perform. She doesn't show anything. Sure she smiles and looks like having a little fun but I expect more coming from a person who likes to perform and has been in the business for 15 years. Anyways this concert dvd is alright. It's good to be able to see her perform all the songs from her play album which is her first number 1 album in 7 years and some songs that she hasn't peformed before like Come I really like that song.

April 1, 2008 Much HarderI have to say that their second album is much harder than their first album. The chorus of Patchwork features Tatsurou screaming. Kowarete Iku Sekai is a beautiful ballad very different than their usually ballads. Shoujo A is one of the best tracks on the album. The bass is amazing in that song. Although some of the songs sound more poppish than 1st album like the song shining. If you like Jrock I Highly reccomend you buy one of their albums. Girugamesh is simply an amazing band.

(2)Our Price: US$33.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:April 1, 2008 GREAT!All I have to say this album is amazing. If you have heard the songs roots which is the opening track then I'm pretty sure you'll like the album roots alone is worth the money. This album flows real well together. Track number 9 -Myousaku Gougai ORCHESTRA which is an instrumental flows straight into Unknown Orchestra and you can't even tell when that song ends the same goes with -god's followers- which is also an intsrumental leads into Kami Atsume. Groovy Groovy Groovy to me sounds alot like Burst from thier first album. The only differnce in the Shaka Laka la album version than the single is that the part that is in the end of the single version is moved to the beginning of the song. Oto no Hana is pretty good all you hear is Takuya singing and playing the guitar. Countin H- is good too I really like it along with Roots which has to be the best track on the album. I look forward to their next single which hopefully well be out soon. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

It includes almost all their singles that they have released so far along with all their music videos except for one. It does not include the pv for HERE I AM which was a disappointment. Other than that this was a good compilation album. Even though I already own all these songs it was good to be album to sit down and watch all the pvs back to back. I do like like the Ichrin no Hana studio live version. I highly reccomend this to any Handmc fan or not. It's a great buy you get your money worth Did you find this review helpful?

April 1, 2008 I like itI really do like this magazine. Even though I have only bought three magazines by Arena 37c I would have to say they are a good magazine. This issue is good you get 30pgs of the gazette plus a two sided poster of them with a picture similiar to the cover and another picture with them all standing up. It really has beautiful pictures of them I really like the Ruki pics. It also has articles on UVERworld, Miyavi, Alice Nine and many more. It also comes with a poste of Miyavi which is really beautiful. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

They are very energetic in each performace and that makes the dvd fun to watch. I really like how the concluded the whole concert on 2 dvds it's about 3 hours long but trust me you won't be bored. You get to watch them perform ballads like Cassis, Kare Uta, Miseinen, D.L.N, and barreta to some of there harder rocks songs like The Social Riot Machines, Cockroach, Discharge, Ruder and many more. It's an amesome dvd I highly reccomend this dvd. If ur trying to decide to buy this one or their newest one Decomposition of beauty I would buy this because you get the whole concert.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 1, 2008 Pretty GoodI purchase this one and their last tour NAMELESS LIBERTY SIX GUNS DVD at the same time and I have to say that are some differences.
One is that this concert seems alot more serious than their other one. Ruki too me seems like he's sick or something because he looks very worn out so you really don't see him jump up as much as the other one. However I do like the fact that they put more emotion in this performance and they really conveyed the song meanings well. I do not like that they didn't include the whole concert because it does not include Cassis which is my favorite song. But it is cool that you get to see them perform Chizuru, Filth in the Beauty, and Crucify Sorrow which are some of favs. The Taion performace is amazing. I have to agree with the other reviewer it sounds better live. I do reccomend this dvd to anybody who likes the gazette.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 1, 2008 Better than expectedI have to say that this album is better than I expected. After their last Album SAN this is a huge improvement. They beginning to make more rock songs rather than just pop. Although Maki voice does sound a bit more poppish than how she usually sings. I really miss how she doesn't sing as boldy as she used to like in OVER or ICHRIN no HANA. But still this album is pretty good. My favorite tracks would have to be EARTH, Tokyo Nights, Rosier, and Mekimeki. Amazing sounds better than the single version because they added a one minute paino solo in the beginning of the song. I would reccomend this album to anybody who like HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. But if you are new to the band they I would recommend Gouon Progressive which has to be their best album to date. Oh and if your trying to decide whether or not to buy the Limited edition or the regular editon. I would buy the regular editon. They didn't include much in the limited edition all it show is them discussing the title and then Maki and Yusuke recorded their vocals for the song rosier. They didn't include any of the music videos which is a disappointment. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The songs all sound alike. Manly the only good songs are the singes. I kind of like Last Word and track number six but about it beside Okizarisu and Enrai~Toku ni aru Akari. But I like the dvd. I'm really glad that they finally realeased the video of ICHRIN NO HANA because that is one of my favorite songs. I like all the music videos especially Okizarisu b/c thats my favorite song from HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. Maki's vocals really shine in that song. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$40.25Related promotions:March 6, 2007 Worth the waitAll I've got to say is that this album is worth the wait. All the songs are really addicting to listen to. At first when I heard the songs I thought they were very different from all their other songs. They kind of are because there very pop rock. The only rock song that there is DISCORD. But the album is still very good. I really like "Live everyday as if it were the last day" because its a very inspiring song. I also like tracks 3,7,8,13 thos are my favorite. The DVD is good too.

February 28, 2007 Very GoodI honestly like this tour a whole lot better than I do her last one. Its very good I'm surpised that most of the songs on this tour are from her singles but its still very good. The only thing that kind of disappoints me about is that Namie really doesn't so that emotion when she sings the songs. I think the only song that you really she her smiling is when she sings Drive which is a very good song. But its still worth the buy. The best songs to me on this tour are Strobe, Exist for you, Do or Die, the Speed Star, Handle me, and Drive. However some of the other songs are very entertaining like uh uh ... Well at least that what I think anyways its a very good buy for any Namie fan. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

I really like they way they perform. Explode-Digital is pretty cool to watch. You get to see each individual member to a solo and they are all very good, especially Takuya. He does his beat boxing and it sounds really cool. I was kind of disappointed with this because they don't give you the whole concert. If your purchased the Shamrock First Press Edition you'll notice that they don't have Blast or Yasashisa no Shizuku but at least you get the full version of most of the songs.

(2)Our Price: US$19.49Related promotions:February 1, 2007 The Best One!This HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR single rocks. I think this one could be the best one. The music and the melody are very different from all their other songs. Maaki's vocals have really improved and Yusuke vocals have too. I really like his part in OKIZARISU. That is my favorit song. It's so pretty and it flows very well together. I like Tadoritsu Basho too but not as much as I like Okizarisu. I was kind of disappointed that the DVD only came with the mv to Tadoritsu Basho and not Okizarisu but at least it comes with the maving to both of the mvs. It aslo comes with albume recording footage. I can't wait for their album because hopefully it will come with the Okizarisu mv and the Ichrin no Hana mv because I have been waiting for that one for so long. Anyways this is a very good single.

Well anyways this is a pretty good deal because you get the music videos along with their album for only $30.75 while if you buy the album seperate it cost $28.99 which really isn't much of a difference its better to buy this version. But if your like me and you already bought their album a long time ago you won't be disappointed in what you get because its a pretty good deal. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
