The Decade!
So, I have of course watched the Decade, despite it not having reached me yet. But, as I know a physical copy is on its way to me, I don't feel the least bit guilty for taking advantage of the links that the very kind people who've ripped their own physical copies have shared

Totally agree with you Zetsu, it was sooooo good to actually hear it live! Plus I really love that they played Ganges... Composer aside, it really is one of my favourites live, and the fire effects are always wonderful. They even managed to make Sumire sound amazing, which has always previously been kind of a meh song! :D
I still think the biggest clue to how Aoi was feeling was in the little doc the limited edition got - it did seem to go out it's way to avoid showing his face! I may just be being paranoid though...
And yes, that cameraman needs a very large bunch of flowers.

It was! It must have been years and years and years since they'd played it live! :D And yes, Sumire. You know, I am still in shock over that!!! Because I have always hated that song! It's been the one song (before Division came bearing Attitude with it) that I have not been able to stand at all! That damn jazzy piano has always sent me scratching at the walls in attempts to get away from the sound, and just generally made my skin crawl... (I am almost allergic to jazz. No kidding!) But here... the lovely guitars drown out most of that! And... Ruki's singing! It's awesome! And... I find myself not disliking this version at all! o.o Good job, boys! Really, I mean it! Now, if you can only do as fine a job on the Division songs too...I love Ganges. Love! And Swallowtail! Ruki's wiggling, Aoi's dancing, Uruha... And Kai's happy drumming. :) They're all look so happy while playing these songs! ah :) And I have a special love for Vermin... And this version of Kantou was incredibly long ( ... )

It's amazing how much songs can change when they're performed live, right? I feel the same way about a good few Toxic tracks - they were ok on the CD, but I gained a whole new appreciation after hearing them live! *hugs* I'm sure they will! Or, at the very least, mix them up with lots older songs you love.
I forgot about Vermin, whoops! XD And Headache Man! How good was that? :D (That's a good point! I can see why - Omega ended weirdly, and Decade was a LONG show - but still... :( )
And who can blame it? XD What with Uru thigh and Kai arms, I'm surprised anyone else got any screentime at all!

Yes! They made some subtle changes to some arrangements and I just loved it. :) And DIM. I really didn't like Ogre before I had watched it a couple of times in DIM Scene. *g* *hugs back* They will at least be more bearable while watching, because of pretty boys! :)
It was awesome! :D
I know our biases are showing, but... what else is needed but that? :D

Talking about Zetsu, well, to be honest, there was some songs that I never heard about. But now I know and love them: Zetsu, Wakaremichi and others.
Mm, really? Aoi was thinking about quitting? He want to kill us?;-;
And yeah, Uruha's things, uh, so sexy >.< I love the cameraman for his passion for that things.<3
And Ruki, aw, his voice is so damn beautiful. And Kai and Reita, I love them too!:))

*nods* It was a lot of old songs. And Zetsu and Wakaremichi were just singles, never on an album or mini-album, so I can understand it's easy to not know them. It's not songs one can buy easily. But it was amazing to hear them play their old old songs, other than the ones they usually play like Kantou and Akai One Piece, and to hear the slight change in arrangements. I loved that!
Yeah he said so in a recent interview... Can't remember where, though. But the interviewer really pushed him to reveal stuff like that. It made me a bit grumpy to be honest, reading that. :( I don't want Aoi to have to recall such unhappy thoughts! But, I honestly believes that if he still felt that way, he wouldn't have revealed it in an interview. Then he would have still kept it inside and brooded over it. So I think it's safe to say he's over it. :)
Ruki's voice was marvellous the whole live! <3 Oh, I just know I'm going to watch this DVD over and over! :D

About Aoi, well, I hope everything is ok, I can't think about the Gazette without him >.<
Ah, I fall in love for his voice.<3 Sure, I think I will watch the DVD every day, if I can.

Ha, I was wondering what you would think of the inclusion of Sumerie, given that you hate it! But a lot of songs that are meh on record become transformed live. The Disorder version of THE $OCIAL RIOT MACHINE$ does nothing for me - it just sounds like a mudled mess to my ears - but I love how it came out in The Decade.

Haha! I ... don't love it. But I actually quite like it! So, I have to say that I admire these guys even more now, if possible! LOL *nods* A lot of the songs from Disorder are very noisy and easy to dismiss as not very good, but when they have the improved skills now and better sound quality, one can hear that they're damn good! :) The guitarists are so much better at handling their equipment too, so the sound is crisper and more exact. :)
Oh I have so much love for this live! :D I want to watch it together with people and squee loudly! LOL

It has also been uploaded to YouTube (for however long it will be allowed to stay there), with the first part here. That's the quickest way to watch it. :)
