Don’t you want to reach your limit more and more?」

「もっともっと限界に行ってみたいと思わないか?」-)

From April 2016, the GazettE went on their world tour across South America, US (for their first time), Asia and Europe with great success and from July they started a nationwide live-house tourSTANDING LIVE TOUR 16 DOGMATIC -ANOTHER FATE-.

This tour’s semi-final live show was performed on 2nd August at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST.

20164月、南米からスタートして初上陸となったアメリカ、そしてアジア、ヨーロッパと廻ったワールドツアーを大成功に終え、7月から始まったライブハウスツアー『STANDING LIVE TOUR 16 DOGMATIC -ANOTHER FATE-』。

このツアーは、82日、新木場STUDIO COASTにてセミファイナルを迎えた。)

The overfilled audience in the venue were clapping their hands to the SE.

Their huge cheer welcomed the members onto the stage and the show commenced with DOGMA.

Vo. RUKI’s death-growl, heavily reverberating sound and the audience’s headbanging boosted the voltage of excitement.

Let’s go wild tonight again

With RUKI’s cue, RAGE and DAWN were played and the lighting was stirring up the atmosphere of enthusiasm by spotting the members and the audience.

超満員のオーディエンスが、SEに合わせて手拍子を打つ。

大歓声がメンバーを迎え、「DOGMA」でライブはスタートした。

Vo.RUKIのデスボイスと、重く響くサウンド、そしてオーディエンスのヘッドバンキングが、会場内のボルテージを上げる。

『今夜も暴れて行こうぜ』

RUKIの言葉とともに、「RAGE」「DAWN」と続き、メンバーとオーディエンスを交差するような照明がさらに場内を煽る。)

We are going to perform as usual so everyone please keep it up above and beyond us. (laugh)

RUKI’s expectation for the fans still had far to go.

『僕らはいつも通り行くので、みんなはそれ以上に頑張ってください。笑』

RUKIの期待はまだまだ先だ。)

In DERANGEMENT, which intro starts with the computer-sound, Ba. REITA was stepping his foot on the platform and staring out across, provoking the audience. Dr. KAI was beating out a stable and constant rhythm leading to VENOMOUS SPIDER’S WEB and BIZARRE.

コンピューターサウンドのイントロから始まる「DERANGEMENT」では、Ba.REITAがお立ち台に足をかけ、オーディエンスを舐めまわす光景が。Dr.戒が的確なリズムを刻み、VENOMOUS SPIDERS WEB」「BIZARRE」と続く。)

In DEUX, RUKI squeezed out his voice and continued to OMINOUS as if he was whispering. The mirror ball started spinning and turned the stage into red; Gt. AOI’s guitar solo was echoing heavily yet elegantly.

Gt. URUHA’s edgy sharp guitar sound impressed the audience in WASTELAND.

DEUX」でのRUKIの絞り出された歌声から、ささやくように続いた「OMINOUS」。ミラーボールが動き出し、Gt.葵のソロが真っ赤な照明に染められ、激しくも美しく響く。

空気を刺すようなGt.麗のサウンドが印象的な「WASTELAND」。)

In the enormous call from the fans, RUKI expressed his feelings into his words.

Just want to enjoy this moment. With all our might. Can you do that?

鳴りやまないコールの中、RUKIは自身の感情を言葉にした。

『とにかく楽しみたい。全力で。やれる?』)

Then they went straight to perform their killer tunes INCUBUS, HEADACHEMAN and ATTITUDE. The show carried on at a high tempo, with good interaction between the band and the fans; the audience responded with raging moshing and headbanging to the members’ instigation from the stage.

そのまま「INCUBUS」「HEADACHEMAN」「ATTITUDE」とキラーチューンが続き、ステージからの煽りと、それに挑むオーディエンスたちのモッシュやヘッドバンキングが、ライブの進行を一切狂わせない。)

They continued to rocket through SLUDGY CULT, UGLY, BLEMISH and UNDYING relentlessly and the venue turned into a frenzied atmosphere.

そのまま、「SLUDGY CULT」「UGLY」「BLEMISH」「UNDYING」と容赦ない曲たちが一気に駆け抜け、場内は熱気で包まれた。)

The members reappeared on the stage in the unceasing call from the fans.

Bring it on!!

途切れることのないコールをようやく遮り、登場したメンバーたち。

「かかって来いー!!」)

The gigantic backdrop printed with the band name popped up from the bottom of the stage; then INSIDE BEAST started roaring.

AOI was fanning his face with his hands.

The venue including the stage was absolutely boiling and the steamy, suffocating heat almost made the sight obscure.

バンド名が書かれた巨大なバックドロップが、下から姿を現し「INSIDE BEAST」が鳴り響く。

葵が手で顔を扇ぐ。会場内はステージを含め、とにかく暑く、熱気で見通しが良くない程だ。)

THE STUPID TINY INSECT, COCKROACH, DISCHARGE and TOMORROW NEVER DIES were played one after another. The rhythm stopped after the members and the audience devoted all of their energies.

RUKI clapped his hands widely three times and that brought a burst of the fervour and the vigorous cheer.

THE STUPID TINY INSECT」「COCKROACH」「DISCHARGE」「TOMORROW NEVER DIES」と続き、メンバーもオーディエンスも惜しみなく力を出し切り、リズムが止まった。

RUKIが手を大きく3回叩き、場内は熱気と大歓声に包まれた。)

The announcement to advise the end of the show was already made and the lights of the floor were turned on; however, the audience did not seem to stop calling for the further encore.

The alternatives are either the members or the fans to give up.

Everyone might have wondered if it would be possible to bring them back; however, today’s audience were still tough enough.

The members came back to the stage again as if they were steered by the audience.

終了のアナウンスが流れ、客席が明るくなったが、オーディエンスからのコールが鳴りやまない。

もうどちらが諦めるか、である。

まさかとは思ったが、やはり今日の客は強い。オーディエンスに操られたように、メンバーがステージに再登場した。)

With 「関東土下座組合 (Kantou dogeza kumiai), all those present demonstrated powerful rampage rather than using all their energy left and concluded the show.

AOI toldI’ll be backin little voice, then RUKI threw the water bottles to the audience floor and left the stage.

the GazettE respects and optimises their strength that they are “Visual kei” and they are going on their way as globally recognised musicians not just within Japan.

「関東土下座組合」で、場内は最後の力を振り絞るどころか、まだまだ上を行くような暴れ方を見せ、この日のライブは終了した。

葵は小さな声で「I’ll be back」と残し、RUKIはステージ上のペットボトルを客席へと放ち、ステージを後にした。

「ヴィジュアル系」という自身の武器を敬い、そして最大限に利用し、日本国内だけでなく世界を相手に、確実に音楽家としての道を歩んでいる、the GazettE。)

If you visit their live show, you will certainly realise that the band ‘the GazettE’ is also made by their audience.

They are actively participating in the live events or music festivals even though their style is classified as “away”. However, their attitude to show their real selves proudly with a strong belief and keep challenging indeed made their current good shape of the GazettE.

彼らのライブに足を運べば、the GazettEというバンドは、オーディエンスが作り上げたものでもあることが非常によくわかる。

アウェーであることがほとんどのイベントやフェスにも積極的に参加し、間違いのない武器を堂々とさらけ出し、挑戦し続けてきた結果が、まさに今の彼らである。)

The rest of the tour is the grand finale on 27th September at Makuhari Messe.

There we should be able to witness ‘another fate’ of the GazettE, who went beyond the frame of “Visual kei”.

Although the tour will conclude on that day, it is no doubt that something new will start again. 

残すライブは927日、幕張メッセでのグランドフィナーレ。

“ヴィジュアル系”という枠に収まることを許されなかった彼らの、もう一つの運命を目撃することができるだろう。

ツアーはファイナルとなるが、また新しい何かが始まることは間違いなさそうだ。)
