Profile

The Gazette is an indie Japanese Visual Kei rock band which was formed on March 10, 2002. The line-up consists of Uruha and Aoi on guitars, Reita on bass, Ruki on vocals and Yune on drums. Kai joined the band as their new drummer after Yune left the band. This was in early 2003 and in March, The Gazette joined PS Company recording label that have artists such as Miyavi, Alice Nine and Kagrra under them.

The band released their first mini-album titled Cockayne Soup and had their first tour with Hanamuke. They had their second tour with Vidoll and cover picture of the two bands were published on an edition CURE. The Gazette performed on Beauti-foolfs Fest on December 2003 together with Kra, Deadman, Miyavi, DfespairsRay, Merry and MUCC just to name a few.

Their full length album titled Disorder, on October 13 2004, was ranked no.5 on the Oricon album chart. They released a mini-album, Gama, and a maxi-single, Cassis, in the late same year. The Gazette had released their second full-length album titled, Nil, on February 8, 2006, which version is available either on a special first-press or a regular-press edition.

The Gazette is often compared to Dir en Grey but in reality, these two bands are nowhere similar to each other. In fact, there are very few similarities.

Thoughts

The Gazette is a good visual kei band. Ruki has an exceptionally deep voice that sounds great in their rock songs. Their background music is well composed too. Definitely check out this band!
