“There is also a collection of remixes on that disc that we have been performing a lot live,” says agent Honey-B, commenting on RiRi’s behalf because mannequins can’t talk. “The other disc has all the tracks that were only released digitally. The original order of the songs was already carefully mapped out, but this time round we got to put in segues in between songs which made a big difference. The songs flow so smoothly, it will seem like it all happens in a split second and like you have travelled in time.”

Honey-B also recently dropped a hint via FEMM’s Twitter page about the possibility of RiRi and LuLa making an appearance in the UK this year.

You can pre-order now from JPU Records, Amazon UK and Plastic Head.

Nil (Nameless Liberty Underground) was released in 2006 and reached number four in the Oricon Weekly Album Chart. The year also saw the band embark on a Japanese tour that culminated at Nippon Budokan. Nil will be available from 10 July in the UK and soon after in the rest of Europe.

Follow up album Stacked Rubbish gave the GazettE their highest chart position to date, reaching number three in Japan’s album chart in 2007. The album saw the band experimenting with elements of R&B, jazz and blues, combined with their already heavy and aggressive sound. Featuring the tracks Filth in the Beauty and Regret, Stacked Rubbish will be available from 14 August, with several tracks already available to buy from iTunes.

2009 saw the GazettE release their fourth album, Dim. Leading up to its release, the band held a secret show at Shinjuku Station Square, the world’s busiest transport hub, but it had to be shut down when several thousand fans happened to turn up. DIM includes the track Leech, the band’s first single to reach number two in the charts. The album will also be released on 14 August, with several tracks available now from iTunes.

The CD editions of the albums include the original photo and lyric booklets, as well as an all-new booklet containing new images and the lyrics translated into English and Romaji.
