^ Hmmm...if there's a poster, I'll preorder. Otherwise I don't think I'm gonna buy it. If there's a poster, though, yeah, I'll go for it. XD


also, sorry for the shit text formating in my last post- I was in computer class and japanese computers fail way hard.

DEARS get to order the CD+DVD version, at least. Which is a first for a Gackt single, to my knowledge.

I was going to pre-order Jesus after the preview came out, but then I finally noticed that, so I'm not so sure I want to bother.

I can't find any evidence of a first-press bonus. Returner's CD+DVD version came with such a nice poster, so this is a disappointment. The song sounds great, but the b-sides alone aren't enough incentive for me to buy it when I don't 100% love the song.

^ I swear, Dears is so completely biased sometimes it makes me want to punch whoever runs it (and no, it isn't gackt) straight in the teeth.

As for bonuses, Returner came with a poster, but no one knew it until after they got it, heheh. Meh, who knows. Might try it anyway.

Oh, you're right. I didn't know before hand about the poster, did I? But at least I could get the limited edition.

Oh my god. Just go to youtube now. Jesus PV is up.

Honestly, one of the BEST Gackt songs in a good while. Completely blows Diabolos out of the water.

Everything was kicked up a notch. Vocally, awesome. Guitars are more complicated than usual Gackt stuff, drumming is awesome. I even like the bass with Juken.

Seriously, go freaking watch it. It exceeded my expectations.

Actually, it reminded me of One from Metallica, not Moi Dix Mois

^ You're right. It does sound a little like One in that part.

I don't know. This sounds like a pretty generic JRock song to me.

Really, you think so? I dont think it does. I think it definitely has the Gackt feel (Another World, Black Stone) but it has enough differences to make it seem really fresh.

Plus the majority of it is in english, which is more of a first for Gackt (besides December Love)

I sincerely gave it a chance but I did find it quite dull, extremely random but rather boring. :(

This is such a nice surprise!! I am astonished.
Plus, he's back to his old singing I think? no more "vibrating nose thingy"? (you know what I mean...).
I'm relieved, I may buy it and all *__*
In the PV they are shinigami or something? it's scary (specially the horrible end) but pretty cool.

someone translated it by ear on the Dears lj community:

Kizutsuita nukegara wo tada dakishimeteita
Furisosogu ame wa shizuka na kimi no namida


I was simply holding onto the damaged shell
The pouring rain is your quiet tears

Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up

Kono yume kara

From this dream


Real or dream?
Real or dream?
Real or dream?

Oshietekure Maria

Tell me, Maria.

「Koroshite」 to hohoemi nagara hoho ni fureta
mienai me ni namida wo tamete kieteyuku


I utter 'kill me' while smiling and touch your cheek
The tears gather my blind eyes and then disappear

Take me Out
Take me Out
Take me Out

Kono yume kara

From this dream


Real or dream?
Real or dream?
Real or dream?

Kotaetekure Jesus

Answer me, Jesus


God said when you die,
Your life will pass before your own eyes.
If you want to feel it right now,
Just do it, do it, do it

*Repeate chours'

Doesnt look like Gackt will be stopping anytime soon.

I just read an interview about Bunraku and a new cd and live he is preparing. He says he has 3 years of music mapped out in his mind right now, and someone else posted on livejournal that they read in another interview a little bit ago from another magazine that said he is going to be going for another 5 years at least.

wooow
this song blew my expectations for sure, especially the overall structure of the song! the short verses and the fast tempo was def. intriguing ne?

i really didnt want the guy to do it at the end of the video, i just woke up and started my day lol...but i plan to watch it about 4 more times before i go to school haha. def. buying this one despite not being able to get the music video and now i gotta get the ringtone, thanks for the heads up mini!

btw the screaming/vocals was awesome throughout the song, but the rapping was alright. its not really my style but maybe it'll grow on me.
