Translation: the GazettE/Decade Book (Reita&Uruha Interview Snippet)

Hello friends, long time no see. A while ago I translated a part of the Decade Book interview section where Reita and Uruha talk about their indie days for my friends and promised I'd do the whole thing one day.

Posting this piece ahead of the full interview to appreciate the bond the guys had with each other, and, in a way, thank them for not giving up.

REITA : … I don't really think about the roles within the band, but each of us has a natural role, and I think that's why we've been able to exist for more than 10 years. Um, well, I kinda don't want to talk about this embarrassing stuff…

URUHA: You're embarrassed?! I really don't think it's embarrassing?

REITA: No-no, it’s not like that! I don't think I'm ashamed of what I'm saying, it’s more like when I say it out loud, it makes me feel a little awkward.

URUHA: Aah, so that's what you meant (laughs).

REITA : I think for all five of us the GazettE is very important. Even though me and Uruha first started a band as “a continuation of child's play”, we thought: “I want to take things seriously”, but still those bands didn't last long and always broke up after a few months.

URUHA: I guess that's true. Before we became the GazettE, we played with a band called Kar+te=zyAnose, where Ruki was also the vocalist. The drummer did not even show up for our breakup show, and when we announced “We’re disbanding today”, we heard a faint laugh from the audience. It was a real shock, wasn’t it? It was also the moment when my groundless confidence that made me think “We’re absolutely badass!” collapsed with a loud crash.

REITA: Indeed. It was TOUGH at the time. I guess it is precisely because of that experience that I am so happy to be able to celebrate 10 years with the current members of the band. It is also precisely why I cherish the relationship between the five of us now.

URUHA: That's so true. Before the GazettE settled down, me, Reita and Ruki also played together in bands called Ma’die Kusse and L’ie:Chris before Kar+te=zyAnose. It took us a long time to reach the GazettE.

— You never gave up, did you?

REITA: No, I gave up once! I thought there was nothing next for me. But honestly, I'm glad I didn't quit! (laughs)

URUHA: It’s because me and Ruki desperately tried to stop you, m?

REITA: Really, thank god you did. But back then, I couldn't see the future at all. Even my parents said “Giving up someday is also brave”. There were many times when I wondered “Is now the time?”. When I saw all my friends around me getting jobs and having families and stable lives, I thought maybe this was also a way to happiness. Still, I decided for myself “I’ll try to do my best for one more year”, and it was during that year that the GazettE was formed. I really think it was fate.

URUHA: But it was difficult, right? We didn't have many shows, and we couldn't tell if we saw the future.

REITA: Yeah. If the GazettE had not continued with the current members, I really would have quit.

the GazettE members says farewell to Reita

With the passing of Reita, the members of the GazettE have shared their heartfelt and heartbreaking farewells to the brightest bassist out there, Reita.

In the farewell messages, the members make mentions of the “forever” that Reita wished for, referring to Reita’s last tweet posted the day before his passing.

Reita’s last tweet: “I hope that the GazettE lasts forever”.

In our translations below, we tried to keep the messages as faithful to the original source as possible, taking into account nuances such as vocalist Ruki’s use of hiragana for “Reita” (れいた), and the other members’ use of “REITA” in capital letters, and more.

Please read every word that the members had to share.

Vocalist Ruki

I think the meaning of what [Reita] posted at the end, “I hope that the GazettE lasts forever”, is that he wanted to be able to see that amazing view from the stage in 2023—the view that he saw with his own eyes—for the rest of time. That view he saw together with you, the fans. Your happy faces. That place where all of us raised our voices together. That wonderful, irreplaceable treasure. I think that he thought it would be wonderful if that moment would last an eternity. I remember you saying that you wanted to play a show soon. “Even when I’m having a hard time, getting together with my band members like this and laughing is when I’m having the most fun”, he was the type of kind, passionate guy, who even after becoming an adult could say this with total honesty. I loved that honesty. We even joked around about taking care of our health this year, just like we did every year on our birthdays. This band will never be a 4 member thing. No matter what anyone says. You’re the only bassist for us. I know your soul is always going to be there on my right-hand side. Nobody will be able to see it, but we’ll feel it. That proof of life that you built with the GazettE will live on. That’s what I believe. That you’ll always be beside me as I keep singing, Reita. We’ll never become something that you’d hate. I don’t want to make you sad. Humans lives are finite, but I think the soul remains. Your soul will live on, in us, in me, in our fans. I want to keep playing shows that will make those I love want to come back and play, even when they’re just souls. Because all of our fans are here for us, we can create that view he wanted to see and keep him here with us forever. So please stay by my side from here on out, too. I know he’d like it best if you remembered him with a smile, and how amazing he was, instead of being sad when you see him. We’ll be more than ready to look after this band from here on out. We’ll show you that “forever” you wished for, Reita. So make sure you come down from heaven for every show, okay? We’ll always have a seat for you. Things are going to get really busy from here on out. Once we’ve settled on a schedule, I’ll contact you again.

Guitarist Uruha

To all the fans who supported REITA until now, I think he was a huge source of support for everyone, including myself. I still can’t accept that he’s not here, that we won’t be able to stand on stage together again. I think there’s going to be a lot of things I’ll come to understand slowly over time. But drowning in sorrow forever won’t let us bring his wish to see “forever” to life, and I deeply feel that I need the strength to keep moving forward from here on. I also think that the road we paved with him to get here is irreplaceable, and I think we all want to keep that alive inside of us in the future. He gave us so much, and stood by our side for so long, and now and forever, he will be one of my closest friends. Please keep all the words, the memories, and the love for everyone that he gave us in your hearts. REITA will live on in our hearts. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for always supporting the GazettE and REITA in more ways than one.

Guitarist Aoi

Out of all the things and all the work I’ve had to do with these members and our small team of staff, this is the only one I haven’t wanted to do. There was a time in the past when I considered giving up on my dream. Back then, after so many discussions, and some encouragement, the other members managed to convince me not to give up. That’s the kind of band we are, and that’s how the GazettE came to be where it is. REITA, you’re not the type of person who wishes for eternity. You’re the type who is eternal. To someone like you, I can’t say something clever like “I’ll carry the weight of your burden too”. I wanted to make more music with you, and see so much more together. No matter where or what, if it’s all 5 of us and our fans are there, it would be amazing. It’s so painful, having all these things I want to say and knowing none of them will come true. Anyway, when I make my way over there, I’m going to give you a stern talking to. You must be sad that we’re suddenly not around anymore, but just rest up until we meet again. I have a little more that I need to do on this side first. Thanks for coming all this way with us. Rest in peace.

Drummer Kai

REITA was such a huge presence to me, more than I can even know. All the words, saving me with sound, the mood maker of the band; really, I have so many truly wonderful memories of him, but most of all, his brilliant appearance when he was on stage. He was the best partner anyone could ask for in the rhythm section, truly one of a kind. That hasn’t and will not change. I want to carry his memory with me, and be more determined than ever to continue the GazettE. Lastly, to all our fans and associates who have supported us throughout these 22 years, Thank you. I want to keep running forward, all 5 of us, and hope you’ll stay with us. REITA. Rest easy. Thank you. Just like always, with everyone by our side, we’ll keep the GazettE alive. I promise. I don’t want those 22 years of yours to be wasted, and there are plenty of others who don’t either. Make sure you show your face at our shows! Let’s drink the good stuff together again sometime, okay?

We tried to get these message ready for you as soon as possible, but reading through them was extremely emotional and difficult for us.

While we understand that for most, this might not provide any real closure, but we hope you were able to grasp the sentiment and genuine emotions that the members shared.

As fans, we will continue to protect that “forever” too, Reita. Please rest assured.

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.

#the gazette #reita #the meaning remains the same for the most part but there were parts that raised confusion or some speculations #with that i'm logging off again

[lipid]

i remember when i came back from the concert, my first concert ever and the only one i've been to since then, and just sobbed while remembering how beautifully they performed that song. i was standing right at the metal bars in front of aoi, and that day was one of the happiest ones of my life.

to this day i still cherish that concert in my heart, reita's solos, uruha and aoi's amazing performance at the guitar, kai's drums and ruki's singing. i'm still extremely happy that they chose us as their first concert outside of japan, and i hope they left with a good impression of mexican sixth guns 🖤

[taka-chan]

the AU i was mentioning about lil demon creature Uruha and monster hunter Reita, totally got me... it's all I think about and I managed to do most of worldbuilding and write the scenes that I've had in my head.

hands down it makes me so happy to indulge in it, tho I'm not sure if i wanna be editing it, coming up with a title and all to post it...idk if it's a genre/trope anyone else wants to read

but either way it has made me so happy to build that story the past few days.....i love it🥺

I-Chu Étoile Stage Season 2: Chapter 2, Part 4: The guide for the Revenge Live

Lucas: Revenge Live? … Don’t joke around.

Lucas: I bet you’re just trying to mess with us again.

Satsuki: Yeah, yeah! You’re probably planning something again! We’re not falling for that a second time!

Kumakocho: Fufufu~ If you don’t want to do it, you’re free to refuse. If you don’t want to participate, I can just make it Alchemist’s Solo Live.

Leon: That’s unfair, Boss!

Shiki:  We can’t just say we won’t participate when you provoke us like this.

Rabi: Yeah. Although I feel like you’re leading us on, and I don’t really like it…

Seiya: We’ll accept the Revenge Live!

Kumakocho: Make sure to be there ♪ The First and Second Generation have agreed to appear too, so it’s a unanimous agreement~

Kumakocho: There’s plans for all of you to release new songs, so I’m sure this Live will be more exciting than the previous one~

Kumakocho: I’m beary excited ♪ You guys will be even busier than before, so do your best.

Kumakocho: I’ll see you soon~

Lucas: … … He finds a way to be annoying every time he appears.

Chaoyang: But… We get to have a Live again…  No, this time we will finally get to appear in a Live… 

Seiya: I can’t wait for the fans to hear our new song!

Kanata: I hope it’ll make them happy after what they had to go through.

Akira: That’s why we’ve got to do our best in practice.

Rabi: Yeah, and there’s lots of other things we oughta do too, like posting on SNS and uploading new performance videos…

Hikaru: I’m sure the fans will be happy! We will all come out of these trying times even stronger!

Satsuki: You just wait, Alchemist! We’re stealing the spotlight next time!

Mutsuki: (... I feel the same as Satsuki.)

Mutsuki: (I want to defeat Alchemist no matter what. I have to practice more… And show everyone how much I’ve changed.)

Yuzuki: Let’s all do our best, everyone.

Seiya: Yeah!!

Yuzuki: (There’s a lot I have to do, too. I need to talk to Kuro, and get the CD sales started, and then there’s all the events related to the CD sales…)

Yuzuki:  (They’re all trying to move forward. I can’t afford to stand still…!)

Torahiko: …

Torahiko: (The Producer’s color has changed. I think it’s best not to bring that up today.)

Torahiko:  (Though I really wanted to be done with it today… Guess I gotta leave it for some other time.)

-

A few hours later

Yuzuki: (This should be Kuro’s class… I hope he hasn’t left yet.)

Saku: Producer-chan…! Did you come to see me!?

Yuzuki: ! Uruha-kun, good work today.

Saku: I wish we weren’t already done. I mean, Producer-chan came to see me!

Yuzuki: Uhh… I’m sorry. I’m actually looking for Yakaku-kun.

Yuzuki: Can you spare some of your time, Yakaku-kun? There’s something I want to talk to you about.

Kuro: I’ve got nothing to say to you.

Saku: Kuro’s a cold one~

Saku: Come on, Producer-chan, talk with me instead. I’ll give you as many of my minutes, my hours, my days and even my years as you want…!

Yuzuki: I’m sorry. There’s something I really need to talk to Yakaku-kun about.

Kuro: I refuse. Saku, Baber, let’s get going.

Saku: Yeah, alright. I would never forgive Kuro if you two were left alone together, after all.

Saku: Let’s talk again soon, Producer-chan.

Baber: Bye-bye, Producer.

Yuzuki: Wait, Yakaku-kun!

Kuro: … You’re annoying.

[Kuro walks off]

Yuzuki: Ah…

Yuzuki: (He’s gone. I can’t even talk to him…)

-

Saku: Fufu… She’s calling you “Yakaku-kun”. Until yesterday you were “Kuro”.

Saku: Does that make you feel lonely, Kuro?

Kuro: Lonely? Quite the opposite, really. I’m happy about this.

Kuro: More importantly, the recording’s tomorrow. Make sure you’re thoroughly prepared.

Kuro: The world is looking at us Alchemist now. We can’t afford to start embarrassing ourselves…

Saku: Of course. You don’t have to tell me all that. I don’t want to be thought of as “a trending Idol with no spice”.

Baber: Baber will study properly too.

Baber: We obviously can’t allow any mistakes. I’ll do my best to do more amazing things.

Kuro: That’s good.

(210522) Uruha’s Blog Today

We recorded for RADIO JACK with Ruki. And today, this year... We celebrated my birthday!!!! Thank you! I received many messages of congratulations. I wonder how I should phrase this, I truly appreciate all the fans who have not forgotten about me throughout these times. I have no doubt in saying that all of you are like my reason to live, you know? I hope the day when I can look forward to a live performance will come soon. Finally, the new album “MASS” will be released in the next few days. I like to think music exists for fun but with MASS, this will be a piece of work filled with various aspects derived from that fun feeling. However, there are some things you cannot explain, it’s pointless to try. I think it’s one of those things both the creators and listeners can come to understand together. What I want to say is, it’s a self-praise act that we who created the album are happy as of a result, with that mentality we can release “MASS” with the help of our fans... In other words “thank you!” I hope the day can come where we can say “thank you” to everyone, we are eagerly waiting. Well I’m looking forward to the new album “MASS”.
