TOXIC [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]the GazettEToxic love
Compared to the previous Limited edtion outside packaging, Toxic is on the more simplistic side. For what it doesn't have in fancy packaging it makes up for it by making the photobook your cd case. As cool as that is, you can't store this with your other GazettE albums. As a collector this is a little annoying. Outside of the packaging size the photobook is high quality. I personally like the photobook but I have heard some not like it because its a little "too high art" for them. Now for the cd, it has the right amount of songs at fourteen for an album. Personally, this was the right combination of electric power and vocals. Bonus items (poster and Tumbler): The poster from Cdjapan great quality, I just wish the poster had a close up of the group. Really the poster is mostly black space. The tumbler on the small size but hey still pretty neat.

Prince & Princess [Cardboard Sleeve] [Limited Edition (Kamijo Type)]VersaillesPrince&Princess
This version of Prince & Princess like the others is amazingly beautiful and visually appealing. The only down side to this single release is that it is indeed in a cardboard sleeve. Which I find annoying and unreasonable, because with the cardboard sleeve you have to be a little gentle with to make sure you don't damage the sleeve. Aside from the looks and the sleeve the music is what you would expect from Versailles. Well played and written music. Prince has a very mellow fairy tale like opening then song kicks in with a faster and harder sound. Princess has that gothic organ sound in the being and then the fast pounding guitars hit in first. But then the music settles to showcase kamijo's voice. This song is personally my favorite of this single because of the overall sound and nice mixture of English into the lyrics.

Visual Negativism [Limited Release]Negamy 2 cents
Yes, this dvd is on the more graphic and suggestive side as the previous review said. The pv is something you definitely don't want younger people to see. Aside from the graphicness of the pv the song muddy cult it self is a great song. It?s a little different from past nega songs but muddy cult still has those distinct nega qualities. But then again just the pv its self is a little different for nega. The live footage is definitely a plus to the dvd since it is an actual live, without the studio recorded song playing over the ?live clip?. The only down side I see is that many nega fans were hoping to see pvs for soul cry and reminiscence. Still Visual Negativism is worth the money you pay for it.

Noble [w/ DVD, Limited Release]VersaillesNobel
Nobel is an album that a Versailles fan pictures; Elegance, Beauty, and the draw to another world. This has to be one of the best albums to be released this year. Everything from the music down to the packaging is beautifully done. It's obvious that a lot of time went into the quality of this album. Nobel is well worth its price and its sure not to disappoint anyone.

Zy.[zi:] mega edition #06 / the GazettEZy.connectionZY. [zi:] mega edition #6
Ok, this review is probably very biased because I'm a GazettE fan. I say this is a the GazettE fan must. All the extras and contents that is detailed in the description here is all there in the magazine. It's a great combination of interviews and eye candy :D . And the price for it is well worth it, if you consider what your getting and how much other distributors were charging for this.

Son [Limited Release]chariotsSon DVD
As the final release of the campaign Son it a nice fit for the end. For some paying 25+ USD for this might be a little expensive but its worth the money. This time Chariots have a more professionally done feel for the overall product. Which makes buying the DVD worth it unlike Chariots first release that came with 2 songs and a PV and it cost more when it first came out. But don't get me wrong all of chariots releases have been great. Oh and a plus to this DVD is that its region free (well at least the one I got from here is)

Guren -Optical Impression- [Cardboard Sleeve] [CD+DVD]the GazettEOptical Impression - review
GazettE's latest single is a must have for GazettE fans. With the soft opening of the single title song Guren to the heavy toned Kugutsu e you get both faces of the GazettE. Whether you buy the optical or auditory impression you won't be disappointed.
