I was going to write this entry earlier, but somehow when browsing the GazettE's homepage, I got distracted by the band's new image and started making icons out of the new photoshoots. Ruki possesses the most enchanting lips and I'm only human.
Let's try this again....
Our Gazemen have returned to Japan after what looked like a kick-ass Europe tour. The fan reports have quite a number of interesting observations.
Berlin: 01 | 02
Cologne: 01 | 02 | 03
Munich: 01 | 02
Paris: 01 | 02A | 02B
London: 01 | 02 | 03 | 04
Helsinki: 01 | 02 | 03
Aoi's lip ring
Quick, what are the first things that pop up in your mind when you think of the GazettE members? More likely than not, they're Ruki's neck marks, Uruha's thighs, Reita's noseband, Kai's smile, and
Aoi's lip ring! I'm dismayed he decided to get rid of his trademark. Aoi just isn't quite Aoi anymore without his lip ring. Why did he all of a sudden want to change his image? This is going to take a while to get used to, alas. May his lip ring rest in peace.
Fanservice
Ah yes, the ever controversial fanservice. I confess, I've always wondered what... activities... the final edits of Gazette live DVDs cut out. Whenever songs like SILLY GOD DISCO were performed, the camera always swerved away from Ruki and all you could hear were high-pitched mass screaming from the audience. Goodness, what in the world got the fangirls so excited? My inquiring mind was dying to know. Thank you European fans for satisfying my curiosity. I don't know whether to laugh or bang my head on the desk when reading about the exact activities Ruki engaged in to get the ladies riled up at lives.
Fan behaviorWell, I'm proud of the GazettE fandom! I understand that at the band's first stop in Berlin, quite a number of fans got overexcited and screamed inappropriately during Taion. The news quickly spread on the net and, as if wanting to prove to Gazette that European fans know how to behave, everyone actually stayed quiet and listened respectfully during Taion at the band's subsequent stops. Great job, fandom~ you're wonderful!
Tour bus
Holy mother, Gazette actually had a branded tour bus/truck! The band really pulled all stops and I'm flattened that that huge, conspicuous thing actually paraded all around Europe. I once again bow down to PS Company's marketing talents. PSC isn't my favorite J-Rock artist management agency for nothing. Highest regard from me, PSC. I tip my hat to you.
And finally, here's a fan-shot video highlighting the London live. Listen to Kai's "thank you so much" at the end.
Now, please pleeeeeease come to the United States, Gazette.
