So yay! My album arrived safely via YesAsia (and FedEx). That being said, I've been lagging the actual unboxing post and trying to figure out which pictures to post and whatnot. Hopefully the actual unboxing post will be up in a few days or a week. Or so...
This post will serve to explain my ordering mentality...at least in terms of CDJapan vs. YesAsia.
My usual pre-order site for Japanese releases is normally CDJapan. I choose them because they usually have nifty bonuses for first press orders. For many artists, bonuses commonly translate to posters. For the GazettE, posters are normally a really good size. B2-sized paper, to be exact. Measurements are about 27.8 inches x 19.7 inches. Right. Moving on to the second reason. Their packaging. I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. I cannot stress enough how awesome their packaging is. Feel free to scroll through my other unboxing posts labeled CDJapan to visually see what I'm babbling on about. The sturdy boxes. The green packing paper. ♥ *sigh* Anywho, another reason why I am a loyal customer is the overall shopping experience. I have ordered from them many times and almost every time, have been 100% satisfied. The times I've had to contact their customer service for something, I've always received a polite, prompt response. Shipping speed is quite fast, even if you choose the cheapest option. They also ship a day or two before the actual release dates, so that's pretty awesome. Also, an aside: I don't speak a lick of Japanese, so it's great that their staff can communicate in English. \o/
Now, since I usually always choose the cheapest shipping option at
CDJapan, I don't have tracking numbers for my packaged ordered there. I
think I've only had one tracking number from CDJapan, and that was only
because I had to upgrade my shipping because of the weight of the
package. No surprise, it was another GazettE album. Anywho, I can tell you based on experience (for the cheapest shipping anyway) that they usually arrive in about a little less than a week to a week or so after shipping.
However, shipping fees (in general, not just CDJapan) are insane. GazettE is also insane for making the packaging of this album so crazy heavy. I was debating whether or not I should stick with CDJapan and the exorbitant shipping prices the weight of the album necessitated. When I learned that the total shipping costs would range from ~ $35 (3470 yen) to ~ $65 (6400 yen) depending on the shipping option I chose, I flipped a little. The total cost of the album + the first press bonus poster would be ~ $122 (12018 yen) to ~ $152 (14948 yen), again depending on the shipping method. Sans poster, the cheapest shipping option would cost me ~ $19 (1900 yen). In the end, I couldn't justify spending that much money either with OR without the poster, especially since I knew of a much cheaper option on another site, YesAsia.
I have ordered a handful of items from YesAsia previously, but unfortunately this was before I started this blog, so I don't really have any solid photos to show. Every time that I have ordered, I think I've been more or less satisfied. I usually use YesAsia for other Asian music releases. I also use this site to compare prices against CDJapan and all that. I knew that YesAsia had a "free shipping over $39" option, and since they were celebrating their 15th anniversary, they lowered the price to $25. Well. Not like either would have made a difference for the album, with it being so darn expensive and all. Anywho, I ordered from the limited edition from YesAsia (YAY FOR FREE SHIPPING) on October 21st. I received an invoice saying it shipped on October 22nd. I received it on Wednesday, October 30th.
Just a quick comment: even though I chose standard shipping, I was still given a tracking code, which was nice. But me being a doofus, I totally didn't read the invoice carefully and notice those lovely digits until I saw the tracking code printed on the package. .__. Perhaps because my order was expensive, there was a little bit of added security? I'm not too sure on this assumption, but I make it because my other orders from YesAsia certainly didn't have tracking numbers provided AND they were nowhere near as expensive. Reasonable assumption, right? Anywho, looking up the tracking information, I noticed that it was shipped out of Hong Kong on the 28th. This tells me two things: 1) the preparation and shipping process took 6 days and 2) delivery was pretty quick (3 days). In total, it took about 9 days (7 business days) for the entire process (ordering to receiving).
I think this covers the gist of my ordering thought process for BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY. Now to work on that unboxing post...soon...aha.

Unboxing #11 - the GazettE's FADELESS -Auditory Impression-
Otay! Since it's nearly time for the GazettE to release their newest album, I mustered up the initiative to work on an unboxing post for FADELESS.
JUST A QUICK WARNING!
While not pornographic, the pictures of the cover art of the single and the poster may get you in trouble if you're looking at them where you're not supposed to (shame, shame!). You've been warned!
FADELESS was released on August 21, 2013. The tracks for the -Auditory Impression- edition of the single is as follows:
1. FADELESS
2. QUIET
3. FORBIDDEN BEAVER
The tracklist for the -Optical Impression- edition is very similar, with two main differences. FORBIDDEN BEAVER is not included and the promotional video for FADELESS is included in a DVD along with the CD for the songs FADELESS and QUIET. The PV was briefly released on their official YouTube channel for a few days, and purposefully removed soon after, hence, no link to the official PV. As I understand it, they don't plan to release any of the PVs for BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY, so for those of you who definitely want the complete visual aspect, y'all have to go out and get the limited edition. Certainly pricy, but for those of you who can and would like to, please do! :) I will be doing an unboxing post on the limited edition of the album soon. Hands, legs, fingers, and toes crossed for its safe arrival!
Time for the goodies!
So there you have it! Not too much to say about the packaging of the CD, since it's pretty standard. I suppose they save the unique packaging for all their limited edition albums. As per usual (based on their recent singles that is), the single booklet is one single sheet folded into thirds. Also typical of their past few single releases, the booklet is is made of a photo paper-like quality, so it's glossy and very smooth. Also, the booklet is pretty difficult to take a good picture of because of glare and whatnot.
As for the music, you can be the judge of that yourself. :)
Anywho, if you're curious at all as to what the little white strip of paper that's wrapped around the poster says, here it is:
I think that'll be it for this unboxing. SO EXCITED FOR MY NEXT UNBOXING POST. But of course, everyone and their mother will have had their pictures and posts up before I even get my copy. I think that's happening as I'm writing up this post. But that's okay! I'm always late with my posts anyway!^^" Hopefully while this frenzy for pictures and information is running rampant, everyone is respectful of all the pictures, opinions, etc. that others have posted. No fighting please!
EEK. As I was writing this up, I got a notice saying IT WAS SHIPPED. \o/
Anywho, I'm going sit here and not spoil myself anymore than I already have with everyone's lovely pictures!! :D Until BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY arrives...!

| Ignore the crappy job at touching up the photo. Admire the package. |
 |
| Notice the poster tube nestled right in front of the green packing paper. |
 |
| After loosening the tape on one side, I decided to snap a picture before removing the entire thing. Definitely appreciate CDJapan taping the bubble wrap to the box to prevent any movement in case of jostling during shipping. |
 |
| Here's a picture of the poster removed from the tube. The tube's ends are bent in to prevent the poster from sliding around and out of the tube during shipping. Check down below to see what's printed on the strip of paper! :D |
 |
| Posters were given at random. This poster art is the cover art for the Optical Impression edition of the single. A sneak peek at the single in the top left corner! |
 |
| Not thrilled about the next few pictures taken, but here they are. Not the greatest angle in the world of the CD, but the text on the sticker of the shrink wrap is the most legible in this picture compared to the others pictures I took. |
 |
| CD sans shrink wrap. Notice "DARLING" is scratched at the top. |
 |
| Side view of the CD. The other side panel is exactly the same. |
 |
| A look at the inside contents. No design underneath the CD. It's just black. |
 |
| Track list! |

Unboxing #7 - the Gazette's REGRET -Auditory Impression-
Wow, it's almost the end of February. Er. Or it was when I started this post. Now it's March...time's moving much too quickly. There's only a few months before graduation, and then...I honestly have no clue. It's extraordinarily terrifying to have no real direction, nothing solid to grasp for the first time since, well, ever. (If only I could make a living organizing music/doing unboxing posts...employ me please? Yes? No? It was worth a shot...)
Anywho...I've been meaning to get around to an unboxing post, and then suddenly, I found myself with three shiny lovelies all lined up for photo ops. Er. Well. At least I won't be hurting for new material? Heh... Anywho, the first up will be the GazettE's REGRET -Auditory Impression-, released in 10/25/2006.
Here's a quick tracklist for those interested:
1. REGRET
2. Psychedelic Heroine
3. Worthless War
Now onto the goods:
Now this single may not be a favorite of mine, but it's still a good addition to my collection. I am super sad that it's nigh impossible for me to own their entire, physical discography. But I guess my wallet is a little less sad about that, ahaha.
Now the packaging is quite standard for a Japanese single, but I absolutely love the texture of the booklet. It almost has a cardstock-y feel to it and I like the artwork that's inside. Now y'all might ask, "What does it look like?" Well, that's for me to know and for you to buy to find out! ~_^ After all, the point of these unboxing posts is to give you taste of what things are like so you can decide if you want it or not.
And the music? Well, chances are you've already heard the three songs in this single, considering its release was about six or seven years ago, so no one needs to read my opinions about them. (a.k.a. excuse to be as un-longwinded as possible...)
The brevity of this post was quite amazing eh? Haha, well, I have finals coming up, so the next few unboxing posts will go up after that. Maybe one at the end of March if finals haven't yet rendered me completely comatose.
Coming next: Ga-In's Talk About S. Be excited~!

 |
| I love the sturdy boxes that CDJapan packs the orders in. |
 |
| The oh-so-familiar packing paper--always fun to unwrap. |
 |
| Bubble wrap. Pop pop pop. |
 |
| Single + the shrink wrap with nifty stickers. Yes. I kept them. The stickers I mean. Not the shrink wrap... |
 |
| The texture of the booklet is fun to touch. Heh. |
 |
| Side view. |
 |
| I like the contrast between the tan and white colors. |
 |
| Sans CD. Very artistic. Sorry about the abrupt change in scenery. |
 |
| Gorgeous rose motif is gorgeous. |

Unboxing #5 - the GazettE's DIVISION [Limited Edition]
Let's pretend this was posted when the GazettE released DIVISION (August 29th, 2012).
Anywho, moving on...
Let me tell you, when Ruki/the GazettE/the media released the proportions of this monster, my first thought was HOLY. CRAP. This was promptly followed by HOLY. CRAP. SHIPPING. COSTS. Just in case y'all didn't know, it was announced that the limited edition version would be 5 cm thick and would weigh 1.1 kg. A freaking album that's about 2 inches thick and weighs 2.2 pounds. HOW INSANE IS THAT? The entire package was about 1.7 kg. That's 3.7 pounds. I'm not going to even go into how much it costs. I purchased this baby from CDJapan, which is not known for it's cheaper shipping costs. Let's just say the album itself (no shipping fee included) was 6349 yen. That's about $80.95 in US dollars. ;~;
*ahem*
Anyways, Gorgeous Monstrosity contains three discs. The first disc is called FRAGMENT [VEIN] and contains 7 songs that embody the older GazettE sound that longtime fans may be missing. The second disc is called BINDING SITE and contains PVs for three songs. It's quite interesting that they made a PV for one of the instrumental tracks. AND THEY FINALLY HAVE AN OFFICIAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL WHERE THEY UPLOADED TWO OF THE THREE PVs. FINALLY. I've linked them in the tracklist below for the DVD, so check it out. Now if they could upload the videos in HD...but baby steps I suppose. Baby steps. The third and last disc is called FRAGMENT [ARTERY] and contains 7 songs that are structured around their newer, digital/electronic sound.
Here's a quick rundown of the tracklist for the limited edition for those of you interested:
Disc 1: FRAGMENT [VEIN]
1. [Depth]
2. 歪, (IBITSU)
3. 籠の蛹, (KAGO NO SANAGI)
4. ヘドロ, (HEDORO)
5. 影踏み, (KAGEFUMI)
6. 余韻, (YOIN)
7. [Diplosomia]
Disc 2: BINDING SITE [DVD]
1. 歪, (IBITSU)
2. [Diplosomia]
3. DERANGEMENT
Disc 3: FRAGMENT [ARTERY]
1. [XI]
2. DERANGEMENT
3. REQUIRED MALFUNCTION
4. DRIPPING INSANITY
5. ATTITUDE
6. GABRIEL ON THE GALLOWS
7. [Melt]
And just to be complete, the tracklist for the regular edition (features different arrangement of tracks and doesn't have two instrumentals from the first disc of the limited edition) :
1. [XI]
2. GABRIEL ON THE GALLOWS
3. DERANGEMENT
4. DRIPPING INSANITY
5. 余韻, (YOIN)
6. 歪, (IBITSU)
7. 影踏み, (KAGEFUMI)
8. 籠の蛹, (KAGO NO SANAGI)
9. ヘドロ, (HEDORO)
10. ATTITUDE
11. REQUIRED MALFUNCTION
12. [Melt]
Now it's time to see why I call my package the Gorgeous Monstrosity...
 |
| Meet Gorgeous Monstrosity, who is approximately 20 inches long...(no that's what s/he said jokes, thanks.) |
 |
| ...and about 14 inches wide... |
 |
| ...and 3.5 inches tall! |
 |
| The poster came in a poster tube. All ready and waiting for me to unravel! ♥ |
 |
| I LOVE THIS POSTER. My desktop at the mo'. |
 |
| Ahh, peek-a-boo! I see you! :3 |
 |
| Dear goodness, the album is a foot long... |
 |
| ...and nearly nine inches wide... |
 |
| ...and about 1.5 inches tall. Meow. |
 |
| The glare on this one is crazy, but the tracklist shows up very well. The sideways tracklisting reminds me of DIM's tracklisting format. |
 |
| View of the side panel. |
 |
| Top view. Notice the 'divisions' in the album itself. (See what I did there.) Concept art for each section proceeds the discs. |
 |
| Disc 1: FRAGMENT [VEIN] |
 |
| Disc 2: BINDING SITE [DVD] |
 |
| Disc 3: FRAGMENT [ARTERY] |
First of all, let me say. WELCOME TO THE CURRENT AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND PROMOTION. Their label got smart and uploaded their PVs on an official YouTube channel. Yay! \o/ Are we ever going to see their older videos uploaded on an official channel? Probably not, since those PVs weren't released by Sony. Such a shame too, since they were AWESOME. ALSO. They jumped on the Facebook bandwagon and got themselves an official page. Like them here if you're so inclined! (All the romanji for the song titles I got are from here.)
Speaking of PVs...I'm glad that they decided to have a PV that showcased that good ol' GazettE charm. As beautiful as they all look, I was getting a little tired of the PVs where they just performed the song and stitched those scenes together with random shots of each member. It seemed they were doing that a little more than usual in recent years. It's not really too much of a surprise though, considering the label change. The members even stated that it's smothering having people telling them how to shape their sound and image. Anyways, DERANGEMENT is awesome. It reminds me a little of Filth and the beauty actually. Ya know, the twisted, ugly side of humans and all that. Or maybe just the overall perverseness. Plus, that Engrish ♥. Take your pick.
I love that this release was so meaty. It's been a few months since they've released this album, and I'm STILL trying to get a feel for it. Granted, I've only flipped through the artbook a total of two or three times, but I think this release and its concept was meant to be as layered as I found it to be. Perhaps one of the reasons why is that they released two discs of music that are jarringly different from each other. Their fourth studio album, DIM, had a more extensive tracklist, but the atmosphere of each song was pretty similar, which made the concept of the album easily digestible. This time, they've released an album that consists of half the traditional 'GazettE' sound, and half the 'digital/electronic' sound that they've been dabbling in for their recent releases. Just when you think the sound is flowing one way, it does a 180, smacks you in the face, and then goes about its business. As a result, the 'flow' of the album is a little slippery to grasp, which in this case, is neither a good nor a bad thing. It's just a statement of fact. It's actually quite interesting, uniting the concept of 'division' by visually and sonically separating their album into distinguishable fragments. All that combined with the Gemini twins-but-not-really women in the concept art...boy, do they make their fans work! Exercising that green and that noggin'!
That being said, I really hope this beautiful, 100-paged album/artbook lasts for a really long time. I'm warily eying all the separate parts within the album/artbook and handling Gorgeous Monstrosity as carefully as I can to keep it in pristine condition. Like the limited edition for TOXIC, it comes with a fitted plastic bag. I hope that's apparent in some of the photos I took. I'd loathe to get that all scratched up. Hm. Well. I'd loathe to get any part of it damaged, haha. The surface of the album/artbook, glossy as it may be, is actually (quite surprisingly), fingerprint resistant. Yay!
If y'all want the full, amazing, physical package to see for yourself what exactly I've been babbling about, get the limited edition or regular edition here or at your shop of choice if you are able~!

Unboxing #2 - the GazettE's REMEMBER THE URGE -Optical Impression- and TOXIC [Limited Edition]
I like all kinds of music. My friend affectionately gave me the title of "Music Whore" because of my eclectic tastes. Er. Yey?
Anywho, I am a huge fan of Jrock. My friend introduced me to the GazettE in 2005/2006...around the time when they released Cassis. After listening to the fantastic song, I started looking into their band history, appearances in shows, live performances, interviews, and, of course, the rest of their discography. ♥ The combination of their music/personalities/etc. really appealed to me and I started to follow their releases, interviews, and such more closely than before. When I had the means (not really), I started to support them by purchasing their singles and albums. And boy, does the Japanese music industry know how to get the most from their customers. Most artists will release several different versions of their albums and singles. For the GazettE, they always split their singles into two versions: an "-Auditory Impression-" version that includes the title track and two B-side tracks, and an "-Optical Impression-" version that includes the title track, one B-side, and a DVD containing the PV and making of the PV. Their albums usually have a regular edition and a limited edition. All in all, lots of money spent on buying their music, but well worth it. I guess I should be grateful that they're not like some of the other bands/artists that release, like, five different versions of everything. ;~;
I only wish I could have started buying their merchandise earlier; I've missed out on a lot of music that's now out of print...=/ But if anyone happens to have a new copy of their limited edition NIL album...(and everything else...) Just saying. The packaging for that baby was BEAUTIFUL and the music from that album was awesome. Meow.
Well, I didn't start taking pictures of the music I've ordered until super recently, and a part of me wishes I had, but it's all good. Here are a few (heh) photos from when I ordered the GazettE's REMEMBER THE URGE -Optical Impression- single and the limited edition of TOXIC, their newest studio album. (I had ordered the -Auditory Impression- of their single earlier.) There was a deal on CDJapan; if you order the -Optical Impression- version of the single along with the limited edition of TOXIC, there would be a free tumbler gift with a picture of the boys featured in the cup. \o/
Meow. ♥
I didn't take any pictures of the contents of the single/album and most likely won't. One, it's really hard to get good pictures of super glossy things. And obviously, from the photos I've posted, photographer, I am not. Two, taking those pictures would require me to actually open the booklets all the way, which will probably damage them. I am absolutely CRAZY about these kinds of things. Even though I've thumbed through the single and album a few times, I took special care to keep the booklet of the single and the spine of the album as tight as possible. Yeah. Anywho, the entire package was quite pricy. I'd definitely venture as far as to say what I paid for it was overpriced. But I couldn't resist the "free" posters and tumbler cup. (On CDJapan, more often than not, the earliest buyers of certain products will get a free gift...usually a poster.) My fangirl was well fed the day my order arrived. :D

| This thing was a MONSTER. ♥ |

| Side view of MONSTER. |
 |
| The box got a little messed up during shipping...the posters included in my order were creased. Sad. |
 |
| The green packaging paper characteristic of CDJapan greeted me when I first opened the box. And yes. That's my dinner on the table. |
 |
| After peeling away the first layer, I was super excited to see my posters...then super sad when I discovered they were bent. D: |
 |
| Lookie! All the way at the bottom! |

Another view. Just because.
|
 |
| *.* Part 2—Love how the album comes with its own bag/slipcover. Yes, that huge book is the album. |
 |
| The tumbler! |
 |
| A different angle of the box. |
 |
| Yay! More green paper! |
 |
| As snug as a bug in a rug. |
 |
| Yay! Bubble wrap! |
 |
| LET'S OPEN OPEN OPEN! |
 |
| I like the white box that houses the tumbler. It's glossy and sturdy. |
 |
| A preview picture of what the boys look like on the tumbler. |

| 葵 (Aoi) - Rhythm guitarist |

| れいた (Reita) - Bassist |
