That's not all! The success of this album further raised the sales of their compilation album "Ikimonobakari ~Members Best Selection~", which is released way back in November 2010. Though it's still charting well last week at #51, it managed to rise to #38 this week, bringing the total sales to 1,338,000 copies and back in the Oricon's weekly top 50. With this, the album has charted for 71 weeks, and won't be dropping off anytime soon.

Aoi Opens Facebook Account and Returns to Twitter

Aoi Opens Facebook Account and Returns to Twitter

In August last year the GazettE’s Aoi deleted his twitter account due to harsh messages and the time you have to spend to run an account.
Now he is back on twitter and opened a facebook page as well!
You can follow his twitter here and his facebook page here.

Because many fans believed that those accounts are fake Aoi tweeted something special to prove that it’s really him: “Tomorrow's first song will be “Sentimental me, Aoi”.” Maybe he’s referring to their song “Sentimental na Onigokko”?
It’s quite unlikely that the account is fake because even the Gazette’s staff itself tweeted about Aoi's return. But let’s see which song will be tomorrow’s first song!

Tomorrow, on March 10th, the GazettE will celebrate their 10th anniversary with a live titled “THE DECADE”. It will be hold at Makuhari Messe.

Joe Odagiri - Jadi Ayah Tiga Anak Di Drama Baru

Fuji TV mengumumkan aktor Joe Odagiri akan membintangi drama baru mereka yang berjudul Kazoku no Uta. Drama tersebut akan menjadi drama ketujuh di slot drama yang terbilang masih baru di Fuji TV, yaitu Minggu, pukul 9:00 malam. Kazoku no Uta juga akan menjadi drama pertama Joe di jaringan televisi itu.

Joe memerankan seorang mantan musisi rock populer bernama Hayakawa, yang perlahan-lahan memudar sejak bandnya out of justice bubar. Suatu hari, dia tiba-tiba harus merawat tiga anak SMP yang kebetulan adalah putrinya. Setelah Hayami-san to Yobareru Hi dan Marumo no Okite, Kazoku no Uta diperkirakan akan menjadi drama keluarga yang hangat, menarik serta penuh dengan perjuangan, tawa, dan cinta. Selain Joe, bintang pendukung lainnya juga menyertakan Yusuke Santamaria (yang memerankan manajernya), Shihori Kanjiya (fotografer yang jatuh cinta pada Joe), dan Nene Otsuka (mantan fotografer dari masa keemasan Joe sekaligus kakak perempuan karakter Shihori).Jadi, apa yang sebenarnya sudah terjadi pada band out of justice? Band ini dulunya cukup populer dan sempat meraih puncak penjualan hingga jutaan kopi.

Hayakawa (Joe Odagiri) memiliki banyak fans berkat kombinasi sempurna dari ketampanan dankomentar cerdasnya. Dia bahkan merajai ranking untuk ‘pria yang paling ingin diajak tidur bersama’. Tapi, 13 tahun yang lalu, band ini bubar setelah bertengkar hebat, dan sejak itu nama Hayakawa mulai meredup. Satu-satunya yang tersisa dari masa kejayaannya sebagai seorang bintang adalah acara radio berdurasi 30 menit yang mengudara pukul 5 pagi serta beberapa acara fans.Hal lain yang dia simpan sejak masa puncak popularitasnya adalah kelemahannya akan minuman alkohol. Ini adalah masalah besar karena Hayakawa selalu tertidur bersama wanita berbeda tiap mabuk, disusul oleh tak sadarkan diri keesokan harinya.Tapi Hayakawa harus berubah, saat dia tiba-tiba menjadi ayah bagi tiga siswi SMP dan harus tinggal bersama mereka. Bila situasi itu bocor ke publik, perusahaan rekamannya akan mengakhiri kontrak. Karena itu, Hayakawa terpaksa menyembunyikan keberadaan ketiga putrinya dengan berbagai alasan.Menjadi ayah bagi tiga orang remaja perempuan pada akhirnya membantu Hayakawa untuk lebih dewasa, dan tanpa dia sadari sudah membuatnya memiliki ikatan kuat bersama mereka. Ketiga aktris muda yang akan memerankan ketiga putrinya masih belum diungkap.
