The GazettE. Last Saturday. Crazy stuff.

From their MySpace...
The GazettE which populary known exceeding the visual Rock scene had just released the new single 「LEECH」on November 12th and recorded 1st place with the Oricon daily chart dated the 12th.
Their Secret LIVE was done In the Shinjuku Station Square at station east exit –.

The band made a new record of gathering the most people ever at the place. About 7000 fans are gathered at the place for the band although it was a secret LIVE and the surrounding was buried whole area even over the street front of Shinjuku ALTA where the roadway had been placed.

Right after the band ordinal classic SE played at 17:30, the stage curtain fell down and 5 members showed up on the stage. At the moment, the fan dances the rapture wildly as they exploded all what they saved up till then. All the sudden the area had changed it self like a concert hall front of Shinjuku station, It was extraordinary spectacle.

Ruki, the Vocal screamed to the fans 「Tokyo!Shinjuku!Bring it on! 」 and play the new single「LEECH」 and 「Filth in the beauty」.

After playing 2 songs, the performance had cancelled with the reason being judged it..s too dangerous to continue.
Although it was only 10 min performance, around the area had a full of fans and people who ask for encore with their excitement after the performance for a while.

This performance of that day had broadcasted through the Internet aiming at all parts of the world.




So according to my friend...
The "dangerous" consisted of...
Originally, it was like an adventure. You had to hunt for the location of the live. However, after fans found it, they texted alllll their Gazette fan friends and the invite list went from 250 to 7000.
HOLY CRAP, right??
So then they play their songs and Ruki does his HEADBANGING and SCREAMING and the fans get all riled up and they got really violent. They were really squished, so that was even worse.
There was a railing to fence off the crowd from the band. I'm think it was concreted to the ground? It was about to come off! That's why after just 2 songs, they were... dragged off stage. Not so much dragged as...
Kai, Uruha, and Reita calmly walked off, Aoi was a little reluctant and kept waving to the fans--they (staff) was just about to grab him but he walked off in time. Ruki... well. He got really caught up in the moment screaming TOKYOOO!!! so when the staff came to get him, he shoved him back and screamed once more. Then, he let the staff drag him away. Hahaha.
I can't find any videos. :( I know they exist, but I can't find them.
