'The Invisible Wall' Review

Hello All! As I mentioned in a previous post, here is my review of 'The Invisible Wall'.

What can I say? I adore it. Although I am just 'a little' biased, seeing as the GazettE are my favourite band...but most people adore it. Usually on YouTube videos there's always a few comments saying stuff like: "OMG i hate the gazette, this is even worse than usual". (I hate those people. If you hate the GazettE, why on EARTH are you looking them up on YouTube? Stop trying to troll people. As funny as it is, it doesn't work on fangirls. They WILL defend their favourite band, and you WILL lose, because they tend to get obsessed...Just saying.) But there's rarely any comments against this video. Most people know that YouTube now has a whole 'liking' system, similar to facebook, except you can dislike the videos if you so wish. On the most watched video of The Invisible Wall, there are 608 likes to 5 dislikes. It's not bad going. Anyway, let's get onto the actual video and song, starting with the band's appearance.

Ok, so from left to right the members are Reita, Aoi, Uruha, Kai and Ruki. Sorry that most of them are blurry, but shockingly, none of them stood still in the video. Aoi, who you can barely see, moves very fast throughout the whole video, and that's the only not-too-blurry image I can get. But anyway... 
- Reita's appearance rarely changes, so there isn't much to say about him, except that his hair is done better than usual and his tie is pretty awesome.
- Aoi's hair is a little shorter than usual, I can't say whether I like it or not. His outfit is slightly strange, namely his jacket, which has a weird print on it. It would look terrible on anyone else, but he pulls it off. It's clear it was made for him if you ask me.
 - Uruha. Now he's slightly complicated. (I know there is at least one person reading this blog saying "HE!?!?" It's true, he's male.) If you ask me, he looks better than usual. His strange flicky hair is gone and he isn't using a slightly strange facial expression. Either that, or he's stopped using strange make-up. Either is entirely plausible. But this look does suit him better. Maybe he would make a good girl? *laughs*
- Kai's hair is almost the same as it ALWAYS is. Except I think it's a slightly different shade. Luckily, the music video the GazettE released after 'The Invisible Wall', Kai changed his hair, into waist length braids. He shocked everyone. He still looked good though. If anything a little less cute. But recently he's changed back to this style. If I'm honest, I want him to have his (I'm assuming) natural style. There are a couple of videos of the GazettE on YouTube where Kai has pure black dead straight hair, which just covers his eyes. If you ask me, he looks unbelievably adorable. Although I suppose that looking adorable wouldn't fit the lyrics at all (More on that later).
- Ruki. Why we've gotten to the ever famous midget! Everyone loves him for it, including me. He changes his style (especially his hair) not only to see what suits him, but to see what makes him taller. That's why he got dreadlocks and put them in a ponytail. Because it gave him a couple inches of height. How could you not love him!? That's just pure adorableness. But back onto his appearance in THIS video. It's hard to tell his current hair colour as the the lighting in both scenes could change it. It's either a sandy/dirty sort of blonde or a mousy sort of brown...I think. His outfit is simple yet epic. His bunny necklace definitely earns him bonus points, as do his awesome blue contacts.


I won't say much about the song, seeing as everyone's opinion when it comes to songs are completely different. But if you ask me the song itself is awesome, and the instrumental in the middle of the song works perfectly with the music video. The music video is pretty damn awesome too. The two main scenes are both great, with nice bold colours and interesting lighting. The main colours are blue, red, black with a bit of gold. In the red scene the lighting is evenly spread out while in the first scene (the blue rainy one) the lighting is directed to the band member in the middle.

The video is awesome, and it works really well with the music. I'm not sure how well it works with the song if I'm honest though. (I'm currently trying to decipher the lyrics. *laughs* Anyone who knows the GazettE well know that they tend to have very encrypted, emotionally heavy lyrics.)  So far, what I've got from the lyrics is:

The song is about a person described as a pig (Making the person seem disgusting) who has committed tons of crimes including murdering children. The lyrics (♫ In the maze without an end ♫) seem to describe that this person is stuck in a corner (in life) and that they may as well die. Throughout this song the words "Sorrow made you" are repeated. There's the saying that those who were abused as a child, abuse their own children. Maybe it's relating to that in some way? (Which would link to the lyrics about the person murdering children.) I haven't analysed all of the lyrics but it does seem to be quite a serious song. It has a lot of depth.

Personally, I love the video and the song. But you can make up your own mind. Here:
