fun sunday activity: folding all your blackmoral clothes and trying not to cry

April 17th member messages

I managed to get the post translated by a native speaker for better accuracy and less meaning getting lost by google translate being confused by idioms and such.

I believe that we, international fans, deserve to get the same closure.

RUKI

At the end, he said, "I want the GazettE to be eternal."

What did he mean by eternity?

I think he hopes that the view that Reita himself saw from the stage in 2023 will continue forever.

The view he saw with his fans.

The happy faces of his fans.

The view where we could all shout together.

That is a treasure that can't be replaced by anything else.

I think he wanted those moments to last forever.

I remember him saying he wanted to perform a concert as soon as possible.

Even now as an adult, he was a kind and passionate man who could honestly say, "Even when I'm having a bad day, I have the most fun when I get together with the band members like this and laugh."

He was a kind and passionate man who could honestly say that.

I loved that honesty.

We used to jokingly tell each other every birthday that we should take care of each other's health every year, and this year is no different.

The band will never be four people.

No matter what anyone says.

You're the only bass player in our band.

I believe that [your] spirit will always be right next to me.

You can feel it even if you can't see it.

The living proof that you've built up the GazettE up until now will never disappear and will always live on.

I believe that, and I want to make sure that the soul of the GazettE is right next to me.

I'll keep singing next to you so that your spirit can be right next to mine.

I will never become the GazettE that Reita hates.

I won't make you feel sad.

I believe that we all live in a finite world, but the soul is something that never disappears.

Reita's soul, the members' souls, mine.

And the fans.

I want to continue performing in such a way that everyone who loves me [/ us] like this will want to come to the stage forever, even if they become just souls.

Therefore, only with each and every one of our fans we can create the view that he wished would be eternal.

That's why I want things to remain unchanged and him to remain there.

Rather than people looking at him and being sad, I think he would want people to remember him as being great.

We are more determined than ever to protect this band.

We'll make the eternity Reita wished to come true.

So, Reita, come to our gigs from heaven every time without hesitation.

Your spot will always be there.

We're going to be extremely busy from now on.

I'll contact you again when the schedule is fixed.

URUHA

To all the fans who have supported Reita so far,

He has been a tremendous support for everyone and for me.

I myself have not been able to accept the fact that he is no longer with us and that we will not be able to stand on stage together.

There may be many things that I will gradually come to understand in the future.

I strongly feel that I need to have the strength to look forward and move forward now, because if I remain in sorrow, I will not be able to fulfill his wish for eternity.

And I believe that the path he has taken with everyone so far has been invaluable to him, and I think it will live on in everyone's and my heart for a long time to come.

He has given so much and has been with us for so long that he is and will forever remain our best friend.

Please keep all the words, memories and love he left behind in your hearts.

Reita will continue to exist and live on in everyone's hearts.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported the GazettE's Reita so far.

AOI

For a long time now, the members and a few staff have been doing a lot of different jobs, "this and that", but I wanted to do anything but write this.

There have been moments in the past when I felt like giving up on my dream.

Each time, we discussed it again and again, and sometimes we pushed our backs [and supported each other] so they wouldn't give up.

It was because we were such a band that the GazettE was able to keep going without stopping.

Reita, you are not the one who should wish for eternity, you are the one who is supposed to connect eternity.

I can't say to you, "I'll carry the burden [of connecting the eternity] for you", that's not a cool line.

I wanted to play more music with you, I wanted to see more of the world with you.

Any view is great when you see it with us five, surrounded by fans.

I don't know, there are so many things I want to say, but it's just too painful that none will be a reality.

Anyway, when I go over there, I'm going to start scolding you. I know you'll miss us since we're suddenly gone, but until then, just rest up.

I have a few more things to do over here.

Thank you for walking this long road together. Please rest in peace.

KAI

For me, Reita is an immeasurably big presence, I was saved by many of his words and sounds, he is the mood maker for the band, and all I can remember is how much fun he is, and above all, how he shined on stage.

He is our best and only rhythm partner.

That has never changed and will never change.

I will continue to carry his thoughts on my shoulders and continue the GazettE with even greater determination.

Finally, to all the fans and everyone involved who have supported us for 22 years.

Thank you very much.

And from now on, we would like to continue to run with the five of us without changing our thoughts and feelings.

Reita,

Thank you for your hard work.

I will continue to protect the GazettE with the same feelings and many friends… I promise.

I don't want those 22 years [with you] to be in vain, there are a lot of friends that are waiting for us.

You should definitely show up at the gigs too!

Let's have a good drink again.

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

every time i see a picture of him it shatters me and i start crying

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

I'm so devastated that at the meet&greet back in 2016 I couldn't bring myself to tell Reita how much I adore and admire him.

Now I'll never get a chance to tell him how much he means to me. He will never know how much I love him. How he and the GazettE have made my life better in so many ways..

I would not be the person I am today if I hadn't started listening to them back in 2006.

I've devoted 18 years of my life to them. I have laughed and cried with them. They have brought me so much joy, so much happiness.

And now there are only tears....

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

i already said it but. I hope there exists smth out there that can console uruha rn because. christ. i cannot imagine.

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

Sixth guns,

let's do one more thing for Him.

let's light up the sky

save the latest picture. add your star to it. repost it in the thread.

use the hastag, tag him or leave a note, but simply... just make it shine for Him

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

he wanted to die on stage...

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

if he is still alive he would be 14-15 years old which is a lot for a cockatiel and...

and what about keiji...

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

and what about keiji...

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

I'm in a state between devastation and utter disbelief. I wish we had some kind of explanation at least regarding the cause of his death, I simply can't make sense of it as is. What a precious human we have lost. What a gap he leaves behind. His death feels so violent, yet his last tweet feels so premonitory. I hope he didn't suffer. What will the band become ? Oh God what will Uruha become ? I hope he'll be alright. I hope they'll all be alright. I can't begin to imagine how they must feel. How lucky I am that I met him, twice. How lucky am I that I saw him live in his native country. It shouldn't have been the last times. I cannot process that it is over. This is absurd.

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

man will i EVER stop crying

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

i will go insane if we don't get the closure of what was the cause and just... why

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

trying to be strong for him and reflect on good memories bc i know it’s what he would want but it’s so hard

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

i feel like throwing my guts up or smashing my head against a wall cracking it open

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

When I saw the "important notice" on the GazettE's twitter my heart sank and I expected a disbanding-announcement. But Reita's death... wow... this is just shocking...

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

now he's one of the stars up there, isn't he?

[chiki-chiki-ahh]

Rest in peace. Thank you for everything
