Damn. No world tour off MASS, but I’m not exactly bummed about getting new music either!
I know the teaser’s background music is probably a huge mislead, but I like the vibe.
Hopefully whatever comes, it’ll be equally cool~ (unlike the last album)
The news in a single click.
uhhh and the Christmas live too! I want to attend so bad… does anyone know if it’s easier to win the lottery if you are in the overseas fan club?
division + mass vibes from that trailer, but the visuals are stunning tbh. I’m perched for the PV.
Let’s hope them not going for overseas tour won’t make an example for others.
Curious for the new music, but would like to get a 3-track single.
Them boys (boy really) set a tone like no other, first 2 shamisen notes were already LOADED.
I’d kill for a really focused single too but I think a full album would have to work it’s ass off to disappoint me after MASS.
An EP or a mini with the traditional theme and no filler…damn, would that be nice.
MASS was beyond forgettable, so hoping they get to do a world tour, just off a better record this time
Loving the traditional vibe from it! Hope this will bring some fresh ideas for Gazette
Please mix the video’s vibe with DOGMA-ish sound and I’ll be happy!
Fingers crossed for something traditional and maybe another concept album
In case you can’t read the latin text from the grainy video (is it up anywhere else other than twitter and insta?):
novas tenebras - new darkness
novum idolum - new idol
nova insania - new madness
Have no idea about the japanese stuff
they announced a Christmas show seems like no would tour
Cool traditional aesthetic. I can’t remember them doing much of that before. I’m assuming this will be a full album as they haven’t done singles in quite a while.
traditional aesthetic, I don’t believe since 2004 with the EP with Sumire and Anata no Tame on it
It’s definitely giving a different feel to MASS and it’s true they haven’t experimented much with traditional elements before so I’m very intrigued to see where they will take this. (Though DIVISION’s cover art has a traditional aesthetic the album itself is pretty much void of that.)
It’s still also making me think they are possibly going with a darker vibe again (?)
So I’m keeping my fingers crossed for something akin to DOGMA but with a traditional touch.
My guess is an album over a single or mini album (they haven’t released a mini album since GAMA so…)
wasn’t division technically a double mini? w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶y̶o̶i̶n̶, the closest they had to dark, 𝓳𝓪𝓹𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓲𝓼-infused style <— I was actually thinking about the ending of nakigahara from DIM that had a koto-sounding guitar part, that’s… not a lot of japonais in their discography, lmao
yoin and chizuru have a nice dark vibe I’d want to hear again.
this would be true if they get rid of electronic saxophone thing (?) and replace it with HAKURI-esque ambience.
