I am a HUGE fan of japanese music. I was introduced through the Jrock and jpop of anime, but later discovered my true love that is Visual Kei!
In addition to my obsession with VK, I also like quality jpop and jrock.
Some reviews will be for products my sister has bought and wrote a review for, as our tastes differ slightly.

Again, another awesome album from gazette. What can I say? Everything they release is gold and totally deserves a place in anyone's music collection.
This time however, is the most polished of gazette's stuff as well as the most "mainstream" metal, but definitely not in a bad sense!! Even though it is not as "unique" per se, it still rocks harder as a whole than any release thus far and more than likely by any other artist.
Even though it is not as distinctive, the album has a greater sense of coherency, especially compared to NIL.However, there is still a visible level of style diversity.
Besides the obvious, and lovely metal tracks, such as "HYENA", "Burial Applicant",and "Filth in the Beauty", (which still have interesting compositions that result in music that never gets boring), there are songs like the jazzy and calm "Gentle lie" and the intriging and fun(ny XD) rap-infused "Agony".
This album contains many great songs that make me love the GazettE even more,my favorites are "Hyena", "Burial Applicant","Filth in the Beauty","Regret", "Gentle Lie", and "Chizuru".
Rocking? or uniqueness? Gazette possesses both, it's just the proportions that have changed over the years, and not necessarily for the worse.
