the GazettE Fuji TV Next Documentary - Review

After 10 years, they are still going strong, aren’t they?

On April 29th, Fuji TV Next broadcasted a unique documentary about the GazettE 10 years anniversary named [The GazettE, now where are you?]. If you missed it, this short review will help you to get a glimpse of its content.

A mysterious intro song with haunting notes, The GazettE’s signature. The first part of the documentary included promotional footage for the new Venomous Cell Tour Finale Omega DVD which was released yesterday on May 9th. (Did you order your copy yet? Omega DVD ranked 1st on Oricon Chart!) Black & white backstage videos of our favourite 5 men and some of the fiercest songs of Omega Tour Finale (Infuse Into, Venomous Spider Web, Sludgy Cult, Vortex, Discharge). This gets the fans riled up for the DVD.

The most interesting part came after the presentation of Omega. We go back to revisit where The GazettE played 10 years ago. A small live house with more or less 60 seats. Was it really that small? From live houses to the Tokyo Dome, and with the unforgettable feelings of the Budokan; the documentary showed footage of the band previous tour finales as well as many comments from each member. A few comments from guests are also interesting. It is good to see the members smile. While their debuts were inexperienced and wild (at our delight!), their growth is trustworthy.

The last part delivered what every fan was waiting for: live songs from The Decade, the band 10th anniversary live hosted on March 10th, 2012 (Miseinen, Ganges ni Akai Bara, Fifth in the Beauty, Linda –Candydive Pinky Heaven-). The world rocked under Ruki's "I don't want to forget myself, I want to be as I am", timeless lyrics. The Decade on DVD hasn't been announced, but meanwhile the songs played in the documentary allow you to headbang… I mean, to see what you missed if you didn't attend the live in Japan. Also, comments and backstage moments with the Gaze men make the fans smile or cry along.

the GazettE has lost nothing over the years, nor their fans or their pure energy. They haven't given up. So, the GazettE, now where are you? Soaring high.

Psst: If you search on YouTube, you may find parts of the documentary.
