RIP REITA of the GazettE

A great Japanese musician and legendary Harajuku style icon has passed away. There was no band more popular with Harajuku visual kei fans of the 2005-2010 era. The famous Jingubashi bridge was full of REITA/GazettE cosplayers every weekend back then. RIP ��🖤🖤🖤

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...

I translated rukis post while crying and still being absolutely lost in sadness so ignore typos etc

Also still in absolute shock and i cant believe it…nor do i want to believe it.

You will be forever missed…

I love you

At the end he said „I want the GazettE to be forever“

What he meant with „forever“

is probably this incredible view he saw

from the stage in 2023.

I believe he hoped for it to continue forever.

The scenery he saw together with the fans

The joyous faces of his fans

The scenery in which we all could let out our voices together.

This is an irreplaceable treasure

and I believe he wanted this moment to last forever.

I remember how you said that you wanted to do a live soon.

Even now as an adult, he was a kind, passionate man who could speak honestly and say „even if something bad happens, getting together with you and laughing is the most fun“

I loved this/his honesty.

Just like every year, we joked about how we tell each other to take care of our health on our birthdays.

Our band will never be 4 people.

No matter what anyone says.

Because there is no other bassist for us than you.

Because your soul will be always next to me.

Everyone should be able to feel it, even if they don’t see you.

The proof of Reitas life that he built up with the GazettE until now will not disappear, it will continue to live on.

I believe that and I will continue singing by your side

so that your soul can stay by my side.

We wont become a the Gazette that Reita would have disliked/hated.

I don’t want to make you sad.

In this way, I believe that everyone lives within a finite limit but their souls will never disappear.

Reitas soul, the members and mine too.

As well as the fans.

I want to continue giving performances that will make people who have loved me want to come to concerts forever, even if they have become souls.

Therefore, it is through each and every fan that the scenery he wished to remain eternal for can be created.

Thats why we wont change and thats why we

want you to stay at our side and stay there.

He would have preferred us to remember him with a smile saying „he was the best!“

instead of looking at him with a sad face.

More than ever before we are determined

to protect this band.

I will make the „forever“ you hoped for come true.

So don‘t worry and pay us a visit from heaven for every concert.

Your place will always remain here.

We will get very busy from now on.

We will get back when the schedule is decided.

Hello people !

I run @mouldymp3rotations where i hand out at least 5 free mp3s per month :3

For pretty much the rest of the year, I will be focusing on visual kei bands that built the foundations for my love for vkei, which is turning 20 this June !

I already posted the first one here (I thought I would get the obvious ones out of the way lol)

Now, I have several packs ready to be turned into post, but i don't know where to start, so I thought I would ask :)
