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 🖤🖤🖤🖤

…. Rest in peace Reita… you left too soon from this world.

I don’t know the reason for this sudden deafening departure, and for such sadness…. Regardless if I know the reason or not, you will be dearly missed. You were one of the most talented, spirited, and iconic Visual Kei/Rock Bassist and musician of an era. Thank you for bringing so much energy into my life since 2010, alongside your bandmates that you called your brothers.

We will always be beside The GazettE and will support them so that your last wish before you left this world will be protected dearly.

Thank you for being a part of The GazettE, for creating powerful music that changed so many generations and gave us the confidence to be ourselves and express ourselves. Thank you for being part of my life for over 14 years.

Rest well, you worked hard. But most importantly, I hope that you were able to enjoy your 42 years of life with happiness and celebrations.

🕊️🕊️✨

A part of my youth has temporarily left.

It's weird knowing that he won't be here with us anymore.

Thank you for being born and thank you for appearing and letting me know you in the days of my youth.

Good night Reita | the GazettE.
