just read a interviu whit gazette it was very cute and I want to post it but is very long ..
Part ~1~
A- APPEARANCE : Band formation
Reita
When Uruha and i were in a band toghether, Ruki was a drummer in another local area (Yokohama).
Uruha
Then, when the band we were in disbanded, Ruki's band was coincidentally in a bit of trouble, so he got us to join in.
Reita
But that band disbanded too.
Uruha
Ruki and Reita and I were left...
Ruki
That was one band before Gazette.From that band I become a vocalist,but...how many months did it last?
Reita
Three months (laught).
Ruki
So the three of us were like "so what'll we do?" and started to look for other members.
Reita
We decided that the next band we formed wouldn't disband.
Ruki
And we said, "If this dosen't work out either, it'll be the end of our band !"
Matsumoto
And this is where Aoi-kun comes into the pictures?
Aoi
After I went to Tokyo I formed my second band there, but my drummer stole three of my members away! Obviously that band separated.I was actually uninvited by these buys (referring to other members of Gazette)!(laught)
Ruki
That's because at first Reita said 4 members were enought (laught).But when we have guitar solos it sounds weak without backing.So whit that, we had to search alot.
Aoi
And there was like a candidacy sign in front of me, right?
Ruki
And then because the wold was so small, we got the guitarist from Kai's previous band.
Reita
But eventually we refused that one.
Ruki
So we thought, "Then, wouldn't it be good to get the guitarist from the band of the drummer that we invited?" And we asked Aoi.He was the coolest in that band too.So we actually gathered in the studio, and it ended whit "Oh!He's Good! Join us!"
Kai
As for me, when my previous band had decided on disbanding I first thought, "What should I do next ?" I've never started a band from zero myself, so somewhere in my mind I was thinking "For the next band I'll Just join too" (laught).And then When I saw a Gazette live I thought "how cool".But they'd already got all their members, so I thought it was impossible for me to join.Then one day I got information that Gazette's drummer was retiring.I exchanged numbers whit Ruki from meeting him at a session before, so i gave him a call.
Part ~2~
BASSIST:Reita
Uruha
His blood type is A, but he's not a A-type person at all.He's kinda like an A-type whit a hole?
Ruki
He kinda like has some B-type mixed in him.His obstinacy and proper way of doing things makes him like an A-type, but while he's stubborn he also has that "whatever's okay" feel.
Kai
In a good way, there's a part of him that really treats the "mood" very importantly.
Ruki
With everything he's always going "isn't it fine?" He's not type to go "what to do..." and think about something forever.
Kai
But I've been saved by that "mood" many times.I'm the type who thinks about things to a difficult level, si he's always telling me "You always think too much about things in a difficult way"
Ruki
Ah, he did say that.
Kai
Also, he stumbles alot when he talks (laught)
Reita
I just say out whatever comes to mind so it's not stumbling! (laught)
This chapter 2 was for Reita Fans
Part 3
DRUMMER: Kai
Ruki
He gives the feeling that he's really good at looking after people, but he's a little restless.
Reita
He's really watchful of things around him, but he isn't very watchful of himself or more like he forgets a lot of things.To the point where I think "Is he sick ?!"
Aoi
Kai doesn't take care of himself, and even where he's on the phone he gives off the feeling as thought he's a really in a rush.(laught)
Uruha
He seems to be constantly using more energy than other people do.
Aoi
He makes me think "relax, relax!" (laught)
Uruha
He's prone to worrying, so he tends to think negative thoughts.
Ruki
I think it'll be good if he takes things easier.It's like he's going to die early (laught).But as expected of the leader, he's number one with doing things properly, isn't he.
Reita
He's really responsible.Especially since he's become the leader, I think he's gotten stronger.
Part ~4! 
EXPOSE : Gazette's secret story
Reita
Actually,before Kai we'd already decided on a drummer.
Matsumoto
Does that mean an illusionary second dimention exists !?
Reita
Yes.Our lives weren't doing that well then, but the guy came into the studio about two times and well, we took pictures too.
Aoi
When the previous drummer said he wanted to quit. I guess the next drummer just came along.
Ruki
Rather than saying the next drummer came along, we said "bring us someone responsible".(laught)
Aoi
That's because our live had been decided.We said "If you have to quit so suddenly, introduce us to someone to replace you."
Reita
But that person didn't match up, so we had him quit.
Uruha
If we want to talk about skills, he was good but...
Reita
There were a lot of things that he disagreed with us about.
Part ~5~
FAN
Uruha
I'm tankful to them.I can't think of anything other than that.
Reita
The love of the fans,it's like something that can't be compensated for.
Ruki
I'm really thankful to them, and I'm always greatful for them.I just want them to understand this.It's a time where by the fans hearts are swayed, and somehow our behaviour has caused reaction that have made them uncertain.As our livehouses get bigger...as we we come up whit new song...
Matsumoto
Like whether you'll go very far, or whether you'll change?
Ruki
Probably.But we think that's not likely to happen.It's not like we're throwing away our past song.
Aoi
We really wanna tell them not to worry about things like "Will Gazette change..?" We don't have any intention of doing so, anyway.As it is now,we'd just be grateful as long as they simply enjoy our lives and CD's.
Kai
We've got fan letters saying "I feel relieved hearing the ld songs:. and seeing that made me really happy.
They are really great to say sweet word's for us :sweet
Part ~ 6 ~ Here's comes Uruha and Aoi
Uruha & Aoi
Matsumoto
What kinda of person is Uruha-kun?
Ruki
A typical 0 blood-type. A nonchalant person.
Reita
He seems the type that won't run away even if a big earthquake hit.
Uruha
I'd run too ! (laught)
Kai
He totally doesn't have that disorganised kind of image.He takes things at his pace too much, or something.So much so there are times we think "Hurry up a little, man."
Uruha
You guys rush too excessively!
Reita
It's not like he thinks about his own pace, it's more like it just naturally happens that way.
Ruki
That's why if we see something as relaxed, he probably sees it as being rushed. (laught)
Reita
But surprisingly he has a passionate side too.When I got injured at a live at Nagano, he said he'd "go properly notify" my parents.
Matsumoto
Well then what about Aoi-kun?
ALL
(saying in unison)He's like an A-Type person.
Ruki
He's got the spirit of a true artiste.Like a red-pen teacher? Kinda like "Teacher, I've done it!""Okay, not good."
ALL
Is that what a red-pen teacher is like !? (laught)
Reita
Not just whit music, but with anything he does, he's always severe or conscientious.For example, if I need help whit moving,I'll definitely ask Aoi-san.Because he'll move things so that no one hits the shelf or something.
Kai
I know, I know!
Ruki
He concerns himself with things it's like a "This looks like someone could hit and get hurt, so I'll paste tape on it", kind of consideration. And when anyone hits the shelf he gets super pissed. (laught)
Aoi
Actually that's exactly why (laught) If I'm moving things and someone gets hit I'll go "What the hell you doing !"
Ruki
He gets angry easily.
Matsumoto
Even if it's not your own equipment?
Aoi
Ah no, only when it's my own equipment. (laught)
Uruha
That's why Aoi equipment all look brand new.
Reita
But his place is totally messy...
Aoi
I'm just bad at cleaning up my own room.I've got a lot of laundry but it's not to the point of how I carry shelves.
Part 7
HEALING (things that heal you)
Ruki
Incense.Real incense.
Aoi
Ruki's room, because it smells like a temple.(laught)
Kai
For me it's games, I guess .Simulation kinds or RPGs, I pretty much like them all.
Aoi
For me, I'll go into the studio and gaze at all my set-up equipment.Times like that are most effective in healing.
Reita
It's TV for me ! I'm real TV junkie, so when I'm home the Tv's never switched off.I especially like sports, news and documentaries.
Uruha
Alcohol for me.I've been liking champagne recently.
This is all for today because I'm very tired to write...but tomorow is a new day

Hello for everybody..I'm here to write next chapters...
Part ` 8 `
The image of an a perfect person
Aoi
Kaggra's Shin-san and Izumi-san's lives put together.I'd like to have Shin-san's music skills and Izumi-san's visual skills.With those two,I think I can be the best.
Reita
For me, my ideak is a person who is un-agitated by whatever happens.
Uruha
My ideal is someone who doesn't show off what he has.
Ruki
My excelent is...an honest person,I guess.Like, "even if stupid, that honestly is a redeeming feature".
Kai
I want to be good at talking ! Also, I want to be someone who isn't forgetful...(laught) My opinion : Sweet kai
Part ~ 9 ~ weird :-s
Do you belive in a previous life ?
Ruki
I don't believe in that.
Kai
I don't believe it either.
Aoi
Uhhhm...I'm also on the non-believer side.
Reita
I definitely believe! I record "Aura Spring" every week.
Uruha
What was your previous life?
Reita
Well...Napoleon...or something?
Uruha
I don't believe in a previous life either, but I'd like to be Oda Nobunaga
ALL
(laugh)
Reita
I think people change by being reborn! That's why one day someone like Spiritual Counsellor Ehara whill say to me "YOU were once a bassist in a band called Gazette" !
ALL
(burst out laughing)
Reita
No, such a guy will think it's okay because he's been reborn. Like once in a while we see people on TV who have memories from their previous lives, and I believe everything they say.
Ruki
Seriously !?
Reita
But there are people who can speak some sort of foreign language since chidhood, right? You can't not believe that it's because of a previous life.
Matsumoto
I wonder what job Ehara-san had in his previous life.He said it was related to what he's doing now, didn't he.
Reita
Yes, yes that's it!
Ruki
As I look I think it's amazing, but still don't believe.
Reita
Then I'll set up to meet Ehara-san.
Ruki
Do you know him personally or something ! (laught)
Part 10
What is a live to Gazette ?
Uruha
Isn't it like the life of a band?
ALL
(nod)
Kai
It feels like that's what we're working so hard for.
Uruha
For a live we make new songs and
Just a bit freakiing, Gazette's new album is released on my birthday . YYAAAYYAY..
And thank you for the interwiev. yay. awesomeness.
haha, I cracked up at this..
Uruha
What was your previous life?
Reita
Well...Napoleon...or something?
Uruha
I don't believe in a previous life either, but I'd like to be Oda Nobunaga
ALL
(laugh)
Reita
I think people change by being reborn! That's why one day someone like Spiritual Counsellor Ehara whill say to me "YOU were once a bassist in a band called Gazette" !
ALL
(burst out laughing)
Reita
No, such a guy will think it's okay because he's been reborn. Like once in a while we see people on TV who have memories from their previous lives, and I believe everything they say.
Ruki
Seriously !?
Part 11: Your first encounter with musical intruments
Kai
I'm not boasting or anything but it's kinda been in me since I was born.My parents were piano teachers, so there was always music in the house.
Uruha
So you're a thoroughbred??
Kai
(laught) That's why it took time before I woke up to music.It was already natural in my environment, so I didn't think I'd want to do music myself.
Matsumoto
So why the drums, then?
Kai
My encounter with drums was fate.I've heard many sounds since I was a kid, but never really had the opportunity to listen to drums.But when I was in my second year of junior high my mum brought me to a jazz concert, and it was love at first sight with the drums.
Aoi
My older brother played the guitar, and when I watched him I'd think he looked so cool.Right then I'd decided, "Guitar's the only one." The electric guitar's cool, because it can produce so many different sounds.
Matsumoto
Your brother likes western-style metal music, right?
Aoi
Yes.It's because of that I'm like that too.Well even now I still like that style, though. (laugh)
Ruki
I guess mine was also because my older brother.My brother also likes heavy metal...so I remember listening to bands like X, Iron Maiden or Halloween. At that time, the CD jackets were primarily illustrations.A part of me liked that dangerous image.I would take those Cds out of my brother's room without telling him just to listen to them.Somehow my brother had the drumsticks of Higuchi (Loudness) and Yoshiki ( X Japan). I didn't know those things werw on sale, so I thought he got them from a live, and I always borrowed them whitout permission (laugh), and would get so caught up with playing them while I watched videos in my room.At that time there was a cultural festival at my school, and my friends decided, "Let's do a Sex Pistols Cover ", so I lost at janken (rock, paper, scissors) and had to do drums (laugh).My brother had a guitar too, but I thought it was too difficult and ther was no way I could play it.
Reita
What was I thinking suddenly in my secound years of junior high I thought "I'd be cool if I could play the guitar".I was without knowledge, so thinking I couldn't play an electric guitar at home , I bought an acoustic.But I didn't know how to play that, and I soon stopped, and bought an electric (laugh).Around that time the friends around me also started to play the guitar, so we exchanged information here and there, but it was so hard, in the end I got sick of it. But about the time I bought the electric guitar, Luna Sea was on TV and watching them i thought ,"I wanna be in a band!" So next I planned on getting a bass. In the past I couldn't even follow the sound of bass on CD's. So I thought "If it's a bass, even if i make mistakes I won't be found out", and with such an impure motive I started the bass.I was completely absorbed, and covered many many songs every day.
Uruha
I was also influenced by listening to Luna Sea in my secound year of junior high. But it wasn't because I had no power for action that I decided to buy a guitar.My friends who had guitars let me hold their guitars, and though that I came to think guitars are nice.That's the story of how it started.
part 12
Something you'll feel bothered without
Ruki
Right now it's the band, I guess.
Kai
Well since everyone seems to agree, shall we leave it at that?
Ruki
In that case...then it's my parents.I feel I won't be able to belive it if they're not around.
Kai
Days off. I think it's definitely important to take a breather, and it's because of that we're able to work hard.
Aoi
Then..for me it'll be consecutive holidays?
ALL
(laugh)
Aoi
Well I'm not saying one week or anything 2 days wold be satisfactory.But even If I'm on break I'll still do band stuff.Everyone too, right? I don't think anyone would go off and play pachinko or anyting like that. (look at Reita)
Reita
Tou're exactly right! For me, something I'll feel bothered whitout..Slots?
All
(burst out laughing)
Reita
But it's free now, right ? (laugh) For me ..I'll overlap this whit what I said in the Healing section, it's TV (laugh). It's informative, and I won't get negative when I watch it.
Aoi
No one said it's bad thing. (laugh)
Reita
If I learn something new on Tv, I'll tell the members all about it the next day (laugh).
Aoi
You're always very lively whwn you do that, aren't you. (laugh)
Uruha
For me it's musical instruments.
Reita
He's doing it again, saying things on his own and trying to act cool. (laugh)
....ooo..Funny Reita
part 13 ( in this part Uruha and Reita are very funny :laughing: )
What are you wishing for right now?
Ruki
I'm not changing my mind, it's to be continue with the band forever.Also, that relationships won't sour among the band members.And there are those who are changing aren't there. I can only wish for them to not exist...What should I do ? It's like my personality's become really bad.
Reita
Eh? Don't concern yourself whit that.
ALL
(laugh)
Kai
As long as we five are together, nothing's going to change.For example if each of us were to be doing our solo activities and happen to involve others, rhere'll probably be another side of us surfacing.
Ruki
Recently I've really been worried about what's gonna come in the future.Right now I'm thinking "We only live once, so it's fine as long as we enjoy ourselves".But I'm really thinking "What'll I do without the band...?"It's my last band after all, so I'd want to do this untill i become an old man.
Reita
If the band is taken away, there's nothing much we can do.
Kai
I want all our fans to understand our feeling. There's definitely parts taht we cannot express enough.I want the fans to understand us, and to become one with us. There are some things that can't be communicated with words,aren't there? That's why it'll be good if we can do that at Japan Budoukan.
Aoi
For now, my wish is for the tour to end with no problems.
Reita
The band is number one to me too, but there a lot of things I want to do. Like riding a Harley or like being good at skateboarding.
Ruki
Those are pretty small wishes.(laugh)
Reita
Anyway I'll wish that I want to do all the things I want to do.
Uruha
I........Don't want to die.
ALL
(laugh)
Kai
That kind of uttering is so likey of you. (laugh)
Uruha
But I really think that way.I can't die now.But when I lie down to sleep there are times when I suddenly think, "What'll I do if I die".When I think of that I get scared.
Reita
Are you okay? Should I like...bring you to Disneyland or something?It'll be good to visit the Land of Dreams at least once, right?
ALL
(laugh)
Reita is so funny and Uruha is very scarred to not die..hahaha :laughing:
