In preparation for THE NINTH TOUR FINAL, the GazettE has announced a collaboration with the city of Yokohama. In addition to special menu items to appear in Chinatown (the purchase of which will also net you a special postcard), there will be a stamp rally and a limited number of GazettE-themed day passes available for the Minatomirai Line.
