They gave 26th May as the album release date. Doubtful that CV19 will be over by then.
Plenty of bands have held off on releasing new material so they can sell merch at live shows. I’m guessing the GazettE’s strategy is to maximise revenue by touring the record later in the year. (I can’t see whether they have gigs announced.)
Their next tour perhaps gonna cost ¥30K or something in that case 
it’s probably a bunch of small FC-only lives for this year and big domestic tour+ WT for their 20th anniversary, if miss covid lightens up on restrictions by that time. a lot of western artists released albums in 2020 and never toured opting for online shows too i.e. Kylie
That reminds me, KoRn is doing that live stream show thing in April too.
Would be nice if these vk bandomen doing one for the fans. Don’t mind it if there’s a bundle with excusive merch as well.
im sure this was discussed already but im late and aint gonna read–
i dislike the album cover lmao just DAMN WHY. WHAT IS THAT. (i know ppl discussed each image representing a previous album)
but either way, im super excited for the album release and for corona to fuck off so we can have concerts again
oh my , this is so good !!
Benefits from each stores announced
Luckily I have not been PO’ed ubtil today cos I was waiting for that damn Amazon link to be up.
Turns out to be a good thing since I got the littlehearts version instead cos I wanna get those posters set!
I’m definitely gonna try and get the album from Jishuban 
edit: oops just pre-ordered
How and where do you preorder one of those options? I only ever used CDJapan…
@Wakarimashita
The only ones that ship internationally would be Amazon and HMV. I’d assume Rakuten too but I never used it for albums overseas. You’d have to order off Japan Amazon.
CDJapan usually offers a poster and they are this time too. But not clear if it’s of the band or just the album cover.
The other stores are basically Japan only, so if you’re outside of the country you’d have to use a shopping service.
CDJapan is Neo Wing, it is on the list so most likely the same poster.
Thank you very much!
Pre-ordered from Jishuban too hehe
Do we know who wrote what? I’m getting heavy Aoi vibes from THE PALE.
Nah not yet. Just speculation. I already forgot what the previews sound like dhsjaka
Nope, definitely new! Also a headless guitar model. I am not sure how I feel about it fitting their aesthetic, but if it works for him then who am I to judge, haha!
Consider it pre-ordered! I definitely get the Ninth 2.0 vibe but hey, I just really like ‘the GazettE sound’!
From what I understood from interviews, they consider Dogma the pinnacle of what they could do as far as a concept album goes. And after touring that concept for a long time it get’s less and less interesting. With Ninth they had the combined ‘Gaze’ sound of all their previous work, and I guess this is the natural follow up. It would be kinda hard to top Dogma conceptual wise.
Can’t wait to see (hear) how their sound has matured in Mass!
I’M SO FUCKIN EXCITED HOLY SHIT
